SBS's global boy group audition show Universe League just got even more exciting! On August 20th, the show revealed the second team, named BEAT, and dropped a teaser featuring its director—none other than GOT7's Yugyeom.

Yugyeom, known for his incredible dance skills as GOT7’s main dancer, will be leading Team BEAT. Fans remember him shining bright when he won first place on the 2016 show Hit The Stage, proving his talent in dance and performance.

With Yugyeom in charge, Team BEAT is expected to deliver powerful performances. His skills go beyond dancing—Yugyeom's solo activities have shown off his sharp producing abilities, promising a unique and exciting group under his direction.

Previously, Universe League announced BTOB's Changsub as the director for Team GROOVE. Now, with the addition of top-tier dancer Yugyeom, the anticipation for the show is growing even stronger. Fans are buzzing, eager to see which K-pop artist will lead the final team.

Universe League will feature a league-style competition, where only one team will win the Prism Cup and debut.

The show is generating a lot of attention, with three K-pop artists taking on the roles of directors, each shaping their teams with their unique talents and skills.

Mark your calendars—SBS's Universe League is set to premiere in November!

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.
