• Jaejoong and TXT's Beomgyu and Yeonjun Open Up About Friendship Struggles

    Jaejoong and TXT members Yeonjun and Beomgyu recently made a candid confession about their social lives.

    On the 37th episode of 'Jae Friends,' Yeonjun and Beomgyu joined their senior Jaejoong for an honest conversation. The topic of dance challenges and making friends came up during their chat.

    Jaejoong brought up the trend of dance challenges among idol groups and expressed, "Inkigayo must be hard, since don't you have to do a lot of dance challenges?"

    In response, Yeonjun shared, "I enjoy doing challenges. If I dance to another group's choreography my fans enjoy it so I enjoy the challenges too."

    Jaejoong then confessed that meeting new people for these dance challenges has become daunting for him since his MBTI personality changed from ENFJ to INFJ, making him more introverted.

    "In my prime… I was known as the most well-connected celebrity. I had that many friends. But I don't have friends anymore," Jaejoong confessed. He continued, "I have around 1,000 or 2,000 contacts on my phone but no one that I can call up and have a meal with."

    The TXT members also agreed with Jaejoong's sentiment. Yeonjun shared, "I'm like that too. People think that I have a lot of friends. But I only have a few friends."

    When Jaejoong asked how many friends they would be able to call for a spontaneous meal, Beomgyu responded, "I have about four friends that can come out but they all live in the same house," causing everyone to laugh.

    As the conversation continues to make waves, fans are appreciating the candidness of their idols and are sending them love and support.

    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.
