Actor Park Bo Gum, who usually doesn’t drink, hit it off with Ireland Ramparts choir director Lurie.

On the second episode of JTBC’s variety show ‘My Name is Gabriel,’ which aired on June 28, Park Bo Gum hung out with the choir members for an after-party.

After choir practice, Park Bo Gum went to a local pub with the Ramparts choir members. They toasted with dark beer, just like the Irish do. When someone asked, "How do you like dark beer? Didn’t you enjoy it?" Park Bo Gum smiled and said, "Yes."

In the studio, when asked, "Are you good at drinking?" Park Bo Gum shook his head. He admitted, "I originally had no tolerance. I don't even know how much I can drink because I rarely drink. But since I've been having a drink after practice every day, I think I might develop a tolerance."

In the footage, Park Bo Gum was seen drinking not just that day but also the next two days, making everyone laugh as he synced with Lurie, right down to the liver.

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.
