    On August 26th, Nam Yujeong's agency, R&D Company, confirmed the news to Star News, stating, "Lee Kyu Han and Nam Yujeong recently broke up."

    Lee Kyu Han made his debut in the 1996 KBS drama "Start" and has since appeared in various dramas, including "Graceful Family," "She Would Never Know," "May I Help You," "Battle for Happiness," and "Longing for You." He also shared his thoughts on marriage on the variety show "My Little Old Boy."

    Nam Yujeong debuted as a member of Brave Girls in 2016 and gained popularity with the hit song "Rollin'."

    After the group's contract with their former agency ended, they signed with Warner Music Korea and continued as BB GIRLS. Nam Yujeong left the group in April this year.

    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.
