Fans are in for a treat as former Wonder Girls members Sunye and Sunmi are set to make a special appearance on KBS’s highly-anticipated project, 'KBS Special Project - 30th Anniversary Ddan Dda La JYP.'

KBS made the exciting announcement on the 9th, confirming that Sunye and Sunmi will be guest stars on the upcoming show, which celebrates Park Jin Young's incredible 30-year journey in the music industry. A teaser for the episode, which has already begun circulating on KBS 2TV and the KBS Kpop YouTube channel, kicks off with the iconic Wonder Girls' hit "So Hot" playing in the background, instantly sparking nostalgia and excitement among fans.

Wonder Girls, who debuted back in 2007, hold a special place in JYP Entertainment’s history as its first-ever girl group. With smash hits like "Tell Me," "So Hot," and the unforgettable "Nobody"—all produced by Park Jin Young—the group solidified their place as one of the most beloved girl groups of the second generation.

Sunmi, who has since established herself as a solo artist, last teamed up with Park Jin Young in 2020 for their duet "When We Disco," a collaboration that showcased their undeniable chemistry. The same year, they sent fans into a frenzy with a special performance of "Nobody" at the '2020 KBS Song Festival.'

Sunye, who made her return to the music scene in 2022 on the tvN variety show 'Mom is an Idol,' also had a memorable moment with Park Jin-young and Sunmi during a heartfelt performance. With Park’s encouragement, she later dropped her first solo album, 'Genuine,' marking her official comeback as a singer.

With other major acts like TWICE, god, 2PM, Rain, and the rest of Wonder Girls also set to appear, 'Ddan Dda La JYP' is shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration of Park Jin Young's legendary career.

The recording for this special episode is scheduled to take place on the 30th at 7 PM at KBS Hall, and fans are already counting down the days.

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.
