Dreamcatcher, the girl group with members JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Yoohyeon, Dami, Handong, and Gahyeon, has big dreams. They want to make it onto the US Billboard chart!

On the afternoon of the 10th, Dreamcatcher held a showcase for their tenth mini-album 'VirtuouS' at Ilji Art Hall in Seoul. Sadly, Siyeon couldn't be there because she hasn't been feeling well and is dealing with anxiety.

Leader JiU talked about their goal for the new album. "First of all, I want to enter the Billboard chart," JiU said. "After that, I want to be invited to many music festivals around the world. I want to meet fans from all over the world."

Dami shared some fun stories from recording the new album. She said, "It felt like watching a vocal strength show. Each song was so energetic that I wondered if we could pull it off while practicing. We paid extra attention to ensure this energy could be conveyed to the listeners."

'VirtuouS' wraps up their two-part parallel universe series. The last album, 'VillainS,' was about the power of a magical crown. This time, they show their strong will and end their journey in a grand way.

The title track 'JUSTICE' is all about fighting against evil. Dreamcatcher sees themselves as heroes and wants to inspire K-pop fans with their strong spirit and boldness.

Dreamcatcher's tenth mini-album 'VirtuouS' will be out at 6 PM on the 10th on various online music sites.

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.
