Fans of singer Lim Young Woong are making a difference beyond borders. On June 12th, the fan club ‘Jinju Hero Generation’ donated 7.35 million won to Epifania Victory School in Indonesia, celebrating Lim Young Woong’s upcoming birthday (June 16).

Victory School, located on the border between Indonesia and Malaysia, started as a kindergarten in 2002. Now, it’s an official school with over 300 students and 17 teachers, nurturing young dreams.

The donation from ‘Jinju Hero Generation’ will create a computer classroom, providing students who lacked access to computers with new opportunities.

Since 2021, ‘Jinju Hero Generation’ has been doing good deeds through annual donations. Last year, they supported the ‘Tobagi’ disabled soccer team by donating soccer shoes and uniforms.

The fan club shared, “This year, we extended our impact globally, inspired by Lim Young Woong’s warm and positive image.”

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.
