    The sharing of this video by Kim Chae Won has sparked speculation among netizens, with some believing it to be a direct response to the criticism, while others see it as a mere coincidence or an expression of admiration for Doja Cat.

    However, the Instagram story was later deleted, leaving room for interpretation regarding Kim Chae Won's intentions.

    Korean netizens commented, "Doja Cat is awesome," "Wow," "I don't think she should give people something to rip at," "I guess she thought that part of the performance was impressive. People should stop speculating," "She deleted that right away didn't she?" "Why did she share that part of the performance out of all others?" "Doja Cat is really good at singing though," "I don't think she posted without meaning, what is this?" "She's amazing lol," and "I really like Kim Chae Won but people's responses aren't that good so I think it's better if she stays still. I get what it means but everyone is thinking the same."

    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.
