Super Junior's Choi Siwon opened up about his ideal type and thoughts on dating.

On the September 1st episode of TV Chosun's 'Sikgaek Heo Young Man's Baekban Journey,' Choi Siwon and Jung In Sun, co-stars from the drama 'DNA Lover,' joined the show for a food adventure in Seoul.

During the episode, Heo Young Man asked Choi Siwon, "Why aren't you dating, Siwon?" Choi Siwon hesitated before responding, "It's not that I can't date…" He then jokingly reflected, "Am I the problem? Do I have issues?"

Jung In Sun playfully suggested, "You should take breaks sometimes," to which Choi Siwon laughed and said, "Sometimes? But we’ve been doing well," and added, "I think dating is all about timing."

Heo Young Man, however, teased him, saying, "At 38, it’s not about timing anymore." Choi Siwon, pretending to feel a bit of indigestion, shared, "I want someone who can be there for me when things are tough. Even if they don’t see me as Choi Siwon, it would be nice if they could say, 'Don’t worry, I’m here. Do what you want to do, oppa.'"

When asked if he’s looking for someone like his mother, Choi Siwon cleverly replied, "I genuinely respect my mother as a woman. I haven't met anyone like her. I think my father’s greatest blessing was my mother, and his second blessing was having me as a son," which brought some laughs to the conversation.

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.
