• IVE’s Ahn Yujin’s Apparent Reprimand of a Male Fan at a Performance Sparks Outrage Among Netizens

    A recent performance by IVE at the Incheon University Festival on May 7 has sparked a wave of concern and anger among netizens. The cause? Footage of IVE’s Yujin seemingly having to reprimand a fan.

    Following the performance, a fan shared photos highlighting a series of moments where Yujin appeared to be scolding a person in the crowd.

    While the photos themselves couldn’t confirm the issue, the fan explained that in a few videos they watched, someone in the crowd seemed to be making Yujin feel uncomfortable.

    The fan shared, “I watched a few videos shot at a distance and noticed there seems to be someone off-stage making (Yujin) uncomfortable, and that’s why there was a series of actions from (Wonyoung) to protect (Yujin). It seems like (Yujin) feels a bit pissed off too. Incheon University is really…can we only allow girls to stand at the front next time?”

    When the tweet was shared, international fans expressed their anger at someone using an opportunity like this to make the members feel uncomfortable, praising Yujin for calling them out.

    A Chinese fan shared the actual video clip of what happened and Yujin’s reaction. In her tweet, the fan explained that they didn’t want to make accusations, but Yujin’s expression didn’t seem like they were pointing at the person in the crowd in a positive way.

    “I don’t want to make groundless accusations, but watching the opening greeting closely, it seems strange. The members kept looking in the same direction. Ahn’s expression and finger-pointing aren’t giving off a ‘that fan is awesome’ vibe. I hope everything is alright,” the fan shared.

    Considering the members are so young, it’s not surprising that fans are worried when incidents like this happen. Stay tuned for more updates on this matter.

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    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.
