BTS’s Jungkook is making waves again by getting MTV Video Music Awards (MTV VMA) nominations for the third year in a row.

On August 6 (local time), the MTV VMAs announced their 2024 nominees. Jungkook scored nods in two categories: 'Best Collaboration' and 'Best K-Pop' for his song "Seven (feat. Latto)."

Jungkook is up against big names like Taylor Swift, Post Malone, and Drake in the 'Best Collaboration' category, highlighting his status as a major global star.

He was first nominated in 2022 for 'Song of Summer' with his collaboration with Charlie Puth, "Left and Right (Feat. Jung Kook of BTS)." Last year, "Seven (feat. Latto)" won 'Song of Summer,' making Jungkook the first Korean solo artist to win that award.

The 2024 MTV VMAs will take place on September 10 at the UBS Arena in New York.

Released in July last year, Jungkook’s solo single "Seven (feat. Latto)" quickly became a global hit.

The song topped the Billboard Hot 100, reached number 3 on the UK Official Singles Chart, and was the fastest to hit 1 billion streams on Spotify.

"Seven (feat. Latto)" also topped Billboard's 'International Power Players' list in April, showing its global success across more than 200 countries/regions, excluding the US.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie showed her thoughtful side by surprising Jung Jae Hyung with a luxury cup that costs a staggering 1 million KRW (~$750 USD)!

On March 9, Jung Jae Hyung’s YouTube channel Fairy Jae Hyung uploaded a video titled "Jennie’s Story That Has Never Been Told Before." In the video, Jennie visited his home and brought a special gift just for him.

Handing over the cup, Jennie sweetly said, “It’s nothing special, but I brought a gift for you.”

During their conversation, Jung Jae Hyung checked in on her and asked, “Are you feeling better now?” Jennie, looking a bit shy, responded, “I’m sorry. I actually...” before he cut in, reassuring her, “There’s nothing to be sorry about at all.”

Jennie then explained, “I just got back today. Since I released my first album as a solo artist under my own label, everything has been so…”

Hearing this, Jung Jae Hyung was surprised and asked, “You came back today after being sick?” Jennie confirmed, “Yes. After that, my schedule got all tangled up, and everything kept getting delayed. I’ve been running non-stop.”

Jung Jae Hyung then insisted, “Just have a meal and go,” but Jennie reassured him, “I was really looking forward to this. I came here with excitement.”

As Jung Jae Hyung brought out some whiskey, Jennie smiled and said, “I hope you can enjoy it with the cup I brought today.”

She then shared the reason behind her gift, saying, “I didn’t want to come empty-handed, so I thought about what to bring. I wanted you to remember me, so I picked ruby.”

Seeing the beautiful red cup, Jung Jae Hyung was instantly amazed and said, “I’ve actually been looking for a red cup like this because I thought it was so beautiful. It’s really pretty.” Jennie nodded and added, “I thought it would go perfectly with whiskey.”

Jennie’s luxury cup is from an expensive high-end brand and is priced at around 1 million KRW per set. Interestingly, Jung Jae Hyung already owns cups from the same brand, making Jennie’s thoughtful gift even more meaningful!

Meanwhile, Jennie released her first full-length solo album, Ruby, on March 7, marking a new chapter in her career under her own label. Fans continue to celebrate her success and admire her thoughtful personality.
