Lovelyz couldn't hold back their tears during their first full group performance in three years.

On June 25th, MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo' aired the second part of "Our Festival," featuring the beloved girl group.

In this special episode, Lovelyz performed as a full group for the first time in three years. They delighted fans with songs like "Hi~," "Destiny," and "Ah-Choo."

After their performance, Lovelyz greeted their fans with a heartfelt, "Hello, we are Lovelyz." Seeing their fans with tears in their eyes, the members gently comforted them, saying, "They're crying. What should we do… don't cry."

Host Yoo Jae Suk shared, "We were also moved, but so many people have been waiting for Lovelyz's full group performance." This touching moment made the Lovelyz members emotional, and they started crying too.

Mijoo noticed her members' tears and handed out tissues, asking, "Who's crying like this? Are you okay?" as she comforted them.

Lovelyz's Jiae, with tears in her eyes, expressed her gratitude, "I really want to thank the 'Hangout with Yoo' team for giving us this opportunity to perform on stage again."

 Sujeong added, "During 'Ah-Choo,' not only our fans but everyone here was singing along, and I felt like I was going to cry. Thank you so much for not forgetting our song and singing with us," she said, getting choked up.

Yein shared, "Since we don't perform on stage often anymore, we haven't had the chance to say, 'Make some noise!' But it felt so good to shout 'Make some noise!'"

Jin reflected, "Being with the members felt like we had seen each other just yesterday, but seeing the fans cry made me emotional. I hope this wonderful opportunity allows us to come together again."

A surprise message from Lovelyz's producer Yoon Sang was also delivered. Yoon Sang said, "I can't believe it's been 10 years, but I sincerely congratulate you more than anyone else. I hope this will be a fantastic stage where you can show everything you've been hiding all this time. I look forward to seeing you in the recording studio again as good friends," cheering on Lovelyz.

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.
