IVE's Ahn Yujin has made waves in the entertainment industry and is now set to make a splash at the prestigious Baeksang Arts Awards.

She's been nominated for the Best Female Variety Performer at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, a category that has seen the likes of Yoo Jae Suk, Kang Ho Dong, Shin Dong Yup, and Lee Young Ja as its winners.

Since its inception in 1986, no female idol has ever won this trophy, making Ahn Yujin's nomination a significant event.

Ahn Yujin's track record in the entertainment industry is impressive and award-worthy. She shone in 'Earth Arcade' and 'Crime Scene Returns' last year, exceeding expectations and creating a new entertainment character.

Her performances were not only dazzling but also showed her ability to immerse herself fully in various roles, earning her the title of a 'Surefire Character of Entertainment'.

Her dedication to both her main gig in IVE and her entertainment activities has been commendable, raising expectations for her win.

The anticipation for Ahn Yujin's potential win is high, but the competition isn't easy. Renowned entertainers like Kim Sook, Lee Soo Ji, Jang Do Yeon, and Hong Jin Kyung have also been nominated for the award.

Despite the tough competition, Ahn Yujin's nomination as an active idol among entertainers is already a significant achievement.

Whether she wins or not, her nomination gives us a glimpse into her entertainment activities, and we can't wait to see what she does next.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
