EVNNE’s latest showcase was all about their third mini album ‘RIDE or DIE’, and it was a blast! Held at Seoul’s Yes24 Live Hall, the boys (Keta, Park Han Bin, Lee Jung Hyun, Yoo Seung Eon, Ji Yoon Seo, Moon Jung Hyun, Park Ji Hoo) shared some cool insights. Yoo Jae Pil was the host who kept things rolling.

Moon Jung Hyun got real about what makes ‘RIDE or DIE’ special. “We’re channeling our inner teen boys this time – full of life and energy. Keep an eye on our stage presence and expressions,” he said.

He also dished on their dance moves: “We’re going for smooth yet strong. And our youngest, Ji-hoo, put his own spin on our signature step.”

Park Ji Hoo jumped in with his story: “I was on a plane when the chorus moves hit me. Showed my EVNNE bros, and they were all in. So we made it our thing.”

‘RIDE or DIE’ is all about EVNNE’s bond – sticking together through thick and thin. The album’s packed with six tracks, including ‘Badder Love’ that shows off their wild side, plus ‘I <3 U (I love U)’, ‘XO’, ‘2X’, ‘Boom Bari’, and even an English take on ‘Badder Love’.

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.
