Actress Seo Ye Ji made a comeback on August 23rd at a special event celebrating the 30th anniversary of a makeup artist brand. The event was held at a department store in Jung-gu, Seoul. This was Seo Ye Ji's first public appearance in over two years after being caught up in personal controversies.

At the event, Seo Ye Ji dazzled in a white sheer top and a red mini skirt. Her bold red lipstick and cheerful demeanor drew attention as she posed for photos with hand hearts and cheek hearts. The press greeted her warmly, and she responded with a smile and a bow.

Seo Ye Ji had been under the spotlight in April 2021 for allegations related to her ex-boyfriend Kim Jung-hyun, including claims of gaslighting and school violence.

Although she appeared in the tvN drama Eve in mid-2022, its press conference and promotional activities were notably absent.

Since then, Seo Ye Ji has signed with Sublime, which represents stars like Song Kang Ho and Girls' Generation's Tiffany.

She has been engaging with fans through social media updates. Her appearance at this makeup event marks her official return to the public scene.

Speculation about her return to acting has been circulating, but Sublime's representative clarified, "There are no current plans for new projects." The representative added that Seo Ye Ji's participation in the event was solely as a guest of the cosmetics brand.

The event also featured SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups and Hoshi, and actors Lee Yoo Mi and Ki Eun Se.

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.
