The group NewJeans surprised everyone with their big appetites.

On the 2nd, a video called "NewJeans Getting Ready for Channel Fifteen" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Channel Fifteen Ya.' The video showed NewJeans sharing different stories.

Hyein, who couldn't join NewJeans' activities for a while because of a foot injury, recently came back. Minji said, "She wanted to join, but we told her to wait until she was fully healed," and Hyein added, "I felt both sad and relieved. At first, I was down, but honestly, it was comfortable and fun. I watched the older members' stage and thought, 'So pretty. You made history,' while I relaxed."

She continued, "We practiced the choreography as five, but because of me, they had to practice another version. I'm sorry for that."

NewJeans then played a game to win food and said, "We're not usually good at games, but since food was at stake, we did well." PD Na Young-seok asked, "Do you hang out together as a group?"

The members answered, "About 3-4 years ago, when we were trainees, we went to Sokcho and ate a lot. We were so full we couldn't stand and were lying down. We decided to stop eating but then went out for ice cream. It was really fun. But since debuting, we haven't been able to go."

NewJeans showed their unexpected big eater side. Minji recalled their trainee days, saying, "After the monthly evaluations, we went out for chicken. There were soccer players next to us. When we were about to pay, the lady said, 'You ate more than the soccer players.' I was embarrassed," and Hani replied, "Why be embarrassed? Eating well is a good thing. I was proud."

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
