• “Is this the happiness I wanted?” — HyunA Reveals Her Struggles with Weight and Health

    K-pop star HyunA recently got real about her weight loss journey and its impact on her health.

    On May 2, HyunA graced the 28th episode of ‘Season B Season 4’ as a special guest and had a heart-to-heart with Rain over a meal.

    The episode saw HyunA opening up about her weight struggles in a candid conversation.

    The chat kicked off with Rain complimenting HyunA, saying, “You’ve become even prettier since the last time I saw you.”

    HyunA responded, “I’ve gained some weight now,” to which Rain replied, “But you look so much better now.

    Rain expressed his concern about HyunA’s past thinness, saying, “There was a time when I hadn’t seen you for many years. When I saw you again, I thought, ‘How can she be so thin?’”

    HyunA then confessed, “I was only 40kg (88 lbs) back then.”

    HyunA went on to share, “During that time, I would only eat one piece of Kimbap while on my schedule. This led to a drastic decline in my health starting at age 26. I wanted to perform well on stage, but I couldn’t.”

    She added, “When that moment came, I asked myself, ‘Is this the happiness I wanted?’ Starting last year, I began to appreciate the little things in life.”

    This candid revelation from HyunA gives us a glimpse into the struggles faced by our favorite stars. It’s a reminder that they, too, are human and face their own battles.

    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.
