• TWICE's Nayeon talks about difficulty of maintaining her figure, can't help but compare herself to Momo

    TWICE's Nayeon recently opened up about the challenges she faces in keeping her body in shape.

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

    Sana, curious about Nayeon's solo comeback preparations, asked, "The team told me you've been hitting the gym hard. Are you planning to flaunt your toned body starting from the jacket photoshoot?"

    Nayeon confessed, "When I began working on the album, Producer Park Jin Young advised me to get fit," and added, "A lot of people can understand the struggle of not seeing results despite exercising."

    Nayeon shared her frustration, "What's really annoying is that Momo didn't exercise at all for a year. She didn’t do any ab workouts. Yet, she still has toned abs even if she eats and then performs on stage."

    She added, "But me, I diet, consume protein, and exercise every morning and evening when I can. Even after all that, I ask myself, 'Are these abs or just shadows?' They barely show and then vanish the next day."

    Despite her struggles, Nayeon is determined, "I’m determined to keep working out diligently until the comeback."

    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.
