• "It's just too painful" — Red Velvet's Joy admits fear of piercings and tattoos, shares skincare journey

    Red Velvet's very own Joy has opened up about her fears and skincare routine in a recent interview.

    Allure Korea dropped a video on April 19th titled 'Joy's 2024 Bag Spill: Overflowing with Sanrio Goodies!'. The video gave fans a peek into Joy's bag and her love for Sanrio characters.

    In the video, Joy confessed, "I'm too scared to get piercings," revealing that she only has two on her earlobes.

    She also shared an interesting tidbit from a music video shoot. "The makeup artist suggested using faux piercings," she said. "It added a certain laid-back and decadent vibe to my look."

    However, Joy was quick to clarify that she has no plans to get real piercings or tattoos in the future. "It's just too painful for me," she emphasized.

    Switching gears to skincare, Joy admitted, "I didn't really care for my skin 10 years ago. But now, I'm all about skincare."

    She also shared some of her skincare secrets. "I make sure to drink lots of water and avoid processed foods. I try to eat more fruits and vegetables," she said. "Since I have dry skin, hydration is key. So, I take hyaluronic acid capsules and use products that contain hyaluronic acid."

    But that's not all. Joy also revealed her love for collecting pouches. "I have a lot of nicknames like BoBoSang, Baribari Star, and Just-In-Case Disease, so I have a lot of items," she said.

    "Collecting pouches is my hobby." She even surprised everyone by revealing that she owns six pouches!

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    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.
