BTOB's Yook Sungjae recently opened up about how his personality is changing.

On July 13, Yook Sungjae shared a video titled "Silver Button Unboxing is Just an Excuse, Scared Sungjae Surprise Camera" on his YouTube channel 'Yook Can Do It'.

In the video, he unboxed the Silver Button from YouTube. He runs the 'Yook Can Do It' channel with his agency staff, staying connected with fans.

Yook Sungjae talked about his recent activities, saying, "I've been really happy. I've been doing overseas fan meetings and getting ready for some new shoots. I'm preparing for my first historical drama, so I've been going to action school for martial arts and taking acting lessons."

He recalled, "I used to call my fans 'Ohchili' (5 and 7), representing the numbers around 6. Isn't it cute?"

He added, "Before, I was excited when fans recognized me on the street, but now I feel a bit shy. Am I becoming an introvert? I don't want to be an INTP. Hyunsik (BTOB's Lim Hyunsik) is an INTP. He loves doing things alone. I could never do that."

Meanwhile, Yook Sungjae will star in the SBS fantasy historical drama 'The Palace' set to air early next year.

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.
