• Kim Sae Ron posts a cryptic message on Instagram, quickly deletes it, expressing difficulty

    Actress Kim Sae Ron recently caught the public's attention when she posted an cryptic message on her social media, only to delete it shortly after.

    On the 20th of April, chatter began in an online community about a post that Kim Sae Ron had briefly shared on her social media.

    The shared content included a video message with phrases like, 'How to apologize to your boss', and 'It's so tough, can't we just stop? Words I've been wanting to say lately'.

    This led to speculation that Kim Sae Ron, who recently withdrew from the play 'Dongchimi', was indirectly expressing her feelings about the negative public perception surrounding her.

    In May 2022, Kim Sae Ron was involved in a drunk driving incident in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. She hit guardrails, street trees, transformers, among other things, multiple times before fleeing the scene.

    Her blood alcohol concentration was over 0.2%, far above the license revocation level, and she was fined 20 million won by the court.

    Kim Sae Ron has been under continuous criticism for alleged false living expenses during her hiatus, controversies related to her part-time job, among others. Last month, she caused another stir by quickly deleting a photo of her with Kim Soo Hyun.

    Amid various rumors, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, clarified, "The dating rumor is baseless" and "The photo being circulated online seems to have been taken when they were in the same agency in the past. We are not aware of the intention behind Kim Sae Ron's actions."

    Recently, it was announced that she would be performing in the play 'Dongchimi' from May 3 to 12. However, due to health issues, Kim Sae Ron had to step down.

    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.
