• TWICE's Nayeon isn’t afraid to go the extra mile for WATERBOMB, "I don't care how daring it is"

    TWICE's very own Nayeon is all set to make a splash at the upcoming WATERBOMB festival, and she's not shy about it!

    On June 7, the '117' channel dropped a fresh episode of 'Sana’s Cold Interview' where Nayeon was the star guest.

    Sana, ever the concerned friend, voiced her worries about Nayeon's daring participation in the '2024 WATERBOMB' extravaganza.

    "How far will you go?" she asked, adding, "I'm a bit nervous. If the agency gives the green light, I think you'll really go for it," hinting at her apprehension about Nayeon's outfit choice.

    Nayeon, however, seemed not worried. "I see it as a fun summer event. Everyone keeps asking me, 'What will you wear? Will it be alright?' and it's kind of pressuring," she confessed.

    But she's determined to look her best, saying, "I want to look stunning. As long as it's beautiful, I don't care how daring it is."

    'WATERBOMB' is the nation's biggest summer bash, blending a variety of performances with epic water battles.

    This year's 'WATERBOMB Seoul 2024' boasts a glittering lineup of K-pop's finest, including Nayeon, Jay Park, Kwon Eun Bi, Zico, Chung Ha, Crush, and BIBI.

    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.
