    On the 25th, Sublime Artist Agency announced, "We are pleased to announce that we have signed an exclusive contract with actress Seo Ye Ji. We will provide full support and efforts to create new synergy with Seo Ye-ji, who possesses passion for acting and a diverse charm."

Sublime Artist Agency also represents Song Kang Ho, Go Soo-young, Yoon Jung-hee, Girls' Generation's Tiffany Young, EXID's Hani, and Girl's Day's Hyeri.

    Debuting in 2013 with the tvN drama 'Potato Star 2013QR3', Seo Ye Ji rose to stardom with dramas like 'Save Me' and 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay'. However, in July 2020, she became embroiled in controversies surrounding gaslighting accusations by her ex-boyfriend, talent Kim Jung-hyun, sparking a media frenzy.

    Allegations of school bullying, academic fraud, and misconduct followed, marking the toughest crisis of her career since debut. After a hiatus, she returned in 2022 with the tvN drama 'Eve'.

    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.
