• 2NE1's Seoul Concert Sells Out Fast, Extra Show Added Due to High Demand

    2NE1's upcoming Seoul concert has sold out so quickly that they've added another show to meet the huge demand from fans.

    On August 12, YG Entertainment announced a new performance date for their '2024 2NE1 CONCERT [WELCOME BACK] IN SEOUL.'

    The extra show will be on October 4, joining the previously scheduled dates of October 5 and 6. All three concerts will take place at the Olympic Hall in Seoul.

    YG Entertainment said they decided to add another show because so many fans wanted tickets but couldn’t get them.

    When tickets went on sale on August 5, there were over 400,000 users trying to buy tickets at once, causing them to sell out in no time.

    Tickets for the new show will go on sale at 8 PM on August 21 through Interpark Ticket. Current ticket sales will be paused until then, and fans can get more details on the YG official website.

    After their Seoul concerts, 2NE1 will continue their tour with shows in Kobe World Hall, Japan, at the end of November, and Tokyo Ariake Arena in early December.

  • BTS's Jimin Makes History by Winning 'Fan’s Choice Grand Prize' at the 2024 MAMA Awards

    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.
