• Former Wonder Girls' Yubin reveals idols' secret dating methods: "Use AirDrop to exchange numbers"

    Former Wonder Girls member Yubin has spilled the beans on how current idols secretly date.

    In episode 4 of the web variety show "Reality Show," released on August 2, 2NE1’s Gong Minzy and Yubin appeared as guests.

    When asked how long they had been in the industry, Gong Minzy and Yubin said 15 years and 17 years, respectively, surprising everyone. Lia Kim then asked a tricky question: "What's the difference between dating in your 20s and 30s?"

    Yubin answered, "I don’t think it's that different. In my 20s, I only thought about myself, but in my 30s, I became more considerate of my partner."

    Gong Minzy added, "In my 20s, I could enjoy pure and innocent love, but now that I'm in my 30s, I'm still figuring out how to navigate relationships."

    Lia Kim, listening to their answers, said, "So, you had boyfriends in your 20s. I didn’t expect you to admit it so coolly."

    She then mentioned a rumor about idols' secret dating methods, saying, "I've heard that idols used to leave Post-it notes on vending machines."

    Yubin then revealed, "Back in the day, I heard stories about that. But now, they use AirDrop. When they pass by each other, they match signs and then turn it on. When the signal appears, they send photos or contact information that way." Gong Minzy was amazed by this, calling it "MZ dating."

    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.
