Rapper Zico has praised OH MY GIRL for their impressive growth since their debut.

On the August 30 episode of KBS 2TV's music show 'The Seasons - Zico's Artist,' OH MY GIRL joined as guests. Zico remarked, "It’s hard to believe it’s already their 10th anniversary." Mimi added, "Back when we debuted, Arin was 17, Yubin was 19, YooA and I were 21, and Seunghee, who is older, was also 21. Hyojung was 22."

When old footage from their debut was shown, the members felt a bit embarrassed. Zico commented, "Seeing old photos is usually a bit awkward but also cute. It’s clear their skills and visuals have both improved over the years."

Zico then asked, "After 10 years, do you have any habits known only to the members?" Mimi answered, "Hyojung always smiles." Hyojung added, "I started smiling a lot back when I was doing children’s songs. I realized people thought my smile was pretty, so I kept it up. It’s not a natural smile though."

YooA shared, "Seunghee has a unique habit when she does ad-libs. When she gets emotional, she tilts her head at a 45-degree angle. Sometimes it seems exaggerated to old friends." Seunghee added, "When I look at the sky, I feel many stories, which makes my ad-libs more emotional. My face turns red when I sing, so I try to hide it a bit to look pretty on screen," causing laughter among the group.

Zico also mentioned that OH MY GIRL has a hip-hop hopeful. Seunghee responded, "I admired groups like 2NE1 growing up. Even though I thought I lost my chance to pursue hip-hop, I’m trying to revive that dream." Seunghee then passionately performed CL’s 'Mental Breakdown,' with the other members joining in and enjoying the performance.

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.
