    The bracelets were being sold at a store for 28,000 KRW (approximately 20.41 USD) each. After some consideration, the members decided to buy 6 bracelets, totaling 168,000 KRW (approximately 122.45 USD).

    However, fans quickly noticed that the NCT WISH members might have overpaid for the bracelets.

    Netizens pointed out that the same bracelets were available online for only 11,000 KRW (approximately 8 USD) for adult-sized ones and 6,900 KRW (approximately 5 USD) for children’s sizes.

    Korean netizens and fans commented:

    “I thought the members purchased them for cheap, but it wasn’t.”

    “They overpaid, lol.”

    “They need to stop their impulse buying.”

    “They were scammed!”

    “They paid so much for them.”

    “Someone help.”

    “This is so cute.”

    “I guess they paid for the cute memory together.”

    “They should’ve checked the price beforehand.”

    “LOL, so expensive!”

    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.
