Singer ChoA recently opened up about her current earnings and career.

On July 30, Choa appeared on the YouTube channel "Jipyeonhan Sesang" in a video titled "Something Missing in Mille-Feuille Nabe Made by Choa."

During the video, Ji Suk Jin asked ChoA about her recent activities and future goals. ChoA shared her dream of becoming an artist after her idol career, saying, “Not many people go from idols to artists successfully. I want to be one of the few who do.”

She also talked about her struggles after leaving AOA and how they helped her gain many YouTube subscribers. “I have about 420,000 subscribers now,” she said.

ChoA explained, “When I was close to giving up on returning to work, I thought, ‘YouTube might be good enough,’ and I started my channel. Luckily, I was also invited to TV shows. Now, I can say that I live off YouTube. I think I earn more now than I did with AOA.”

She added with a laugh, “I didn’t make a lot of money with AOA,” and jokingly said, “Now I kind of want to drag myself back by the hair,” expressing some regret about leaving the group.

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.
