• QWER Billboard Vandalized With Red Paint, Sparking Debate: "Isn't This Just Marketing?"

    A billboard featuring the group QWER has been vandalized, with red paint splashed across the members’ faces and the word “FAKE” scrawled on it.

    On August 24, the billboard for QWER was found defaced. Red paint covered the faces of the band members, and “FAKE” was written on the poster. The image has quickly gone viral, sparking heated discussions online.

    Tamago Production, the company behind QWER, commented, “We are currently investigating the incident involving red paint being sprayed on the faces of QWER members.” They promised to release a detailed statement once their investigation is complete.

    QWER, known for their distinctive band concept and featuring members Chodan, Magenta, Hina, and Siyeon, had just announced their comeback the day before the vandalism.

    As the photo of the damaged billboard spreads, opinions are divided. Some believe it might be a publicity stunt, while others worry about the group's safety, suspecting it could be the work of anti-fans.

    Comments on the situation varied widely:

    "Isn't this just marketing?"

    "If it's on the second floor, it's not something just anyone could do."

    "This is crazy. If it's true, it's really bad. Are anti-fans still doing things like this?"

    "The paint didn’t even touch the window frames—was the vandal that careful?"

    "If it’s not a stunt, they should check the CCTV to find out who did it."

    "Report it to the police. They’ll find out if it’s real or not."

    "It’s painted so neatly, I thought it was on purpose."

    "Of course it's fake. Real vandalism would cover the faces."

    "Anyone who thinks this is real vandalism and not a publicity stunt needs to take an intelligence test."

    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.
