• Lim Ji Yeon Asks, "Aren't You Tired of Hearing You're Pretty?" What Did Song Hye Kyo Say in Return?

    Actress Lim Ji Yeon recently shared a fun story about Song Hye Kyo.

    On the August 12 episode of "Jjanhyung," featuring the cast of the movie "Revolver" including Ji Chang Wook, Lim Ji Yeon, Kim Jong Soo, and Kim Jun Han, Lim Ji Yeon recalled the first time she met Ji Chang Wook.

    "When I first met Ji Chang Wook, I thought, 'Wow, he's really handsome,' but he also plays tough roles so well. He brings this raw energy to his performances that’s really unique to him," Lim Ji Yeon shared.

    She then turned to Ji Chang Wook and asked, "People must tell you all the time that you're handsome. Do you ever look in the mirror and think, 'I am handsome'?" Ji Chang Wook laughed and replied, "I don't really think about it that way."

    Not letting it go, Lim Ji Yeon continued, "Aren't you tired of hearing that you're handsome?" Ji Chang Wook admitted, "It actually makes me a little embarrassed when people compliment me. I’m not sure how to handle it. My self-esteem is pretty low, so I don’t dwell on it much."

    Lim Ji Yeon then added with a smile, "I was curious because I once asked Hye Kyo unnie if she ever gets tired of being told she's pretty. She said she doesn't," which made everyone laugh.

    She wrapped up by saying, "When someone tells me I’m pretty, I end up liking that person more."

    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.
