• Code Kunst Opens Up About Weight Gain: "Many Clothes Feel Tight"

    Code Kunst recently shared his experience with weight gain during an episode of MBC’s ‘I Live Alone.’

    The talented artist visited a vintage shop in Jeju Island, where he tried on various outfits.

    Wearing a striking red jacket, Code Kunst expressed satisfaction despite the heat. Jeon Hyun Moo playfully commented that he looked like someone from Texas, USA.

    However, Code Kunst surprised everyone by unzipping the jacket to reveal his bare torso, prompting laughter from the group.

    In another outfit—a vintage cyclist jacket from France—Code Kunst wasn’t as pleased. He found some of the clothes too short or too slim-fit.

    The shop owner honestly pointed out that these outfits were well-made but narrow at the sides.

    During his fitting, Code Kunst’s longtime friend, Gong Myung Shin, joined him. They’ve been friends for 30 years and used to play futsal together.

    Gong Myung Shin complimented Code Kunst’s improved health since their last meeting.

    Code Kunst confessed that after reaching 70kg, many clothes felt tight and uncomfortable. Despite this frustration, he purchased the clothes he liked and even bought a handbag as a gift for his friend.

    Later, at Gong Myung Shin’s house, Code Kunst enjoyed dombe pork and anchovy noodles. He praised the flavors, comparing the noodles to those served at wedding halls.

    Jeon Hyun Moo playfully teased, “Let’s take a beating,” adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.

    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.
