KARA's, the iconic 2nd generation K-pop legends, have dropped stunning concept photos for their new song that look straight out of a magazine.

On the 18th, KARAmembers Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, Nicole, Kang Jiyoung, and Heo Youngji shared individual concept photos for the 'By My Side' version of their digital single 'I Do I Do' on their official social media.

In the photos, KARA sported casual summer looks with crop tops and dresses. They effortlessly switched between pure and chic vibes, showcasing their versatility.

Fans were particularly drawn to Park Gyuri's photos, especially since she recently suffered an orbital fracture.

KARA has been building anticipation for their comeback by releasing three different concept photo versions: the bright and floral 'A Flower,' the mysterious 'Blue Wave,' and the latest 'By My Side.'

'I Do I Do' marksKARA's first new song in about 1 year and 8 months since their 15th-anniversary special album 'MOVE AGAIN' in November 2022. Their comeback has already made waves, topping domestic music charts and winning first place on music shows.

KARA will release 'I Do I Do' on various music sites at 6 PM on the 24th. They are also set to hold solo concerts, '2024 KARASIA,' in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, next month, continuing their reign as 'Hallyu Queens.'

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.
