• Netizens React to GFRIEND’s Yerin and LE SSERAFIM's Surprise Dance Challenge

    GFRIEND member Yerin recently surprised everyone by doing a dance challenge with LE SSERAFIM, and netizens are buzzing about it.

    On September 7, a post titled “Yerin and LE SSERAFIM in a Dance Challenge? Shocking!” gained attention online.

    It featured video of Yerin joining LE SSERAFIM for a dance challenge with her solo song. The post explained, “They’re seniors and juniors from Source Music—GFRIEND and LE SSERAFIM.”

    Netizens were quick to share their reactions. One fan wrote, “If you’re a GFRIEND fan, you’d already know this! GFRIEND used to wish for seniors to cheer them on during music shows, but they were the only ones at Source Music. Now, seeing them supporting their juniors, it’s like Source, really… LOL.”

    Others added their thoughts about Yerin’s kind gesture. “Yerin was so sweet to Eunchae during her Music Bank interview, and now she’s just trying to help LE SSERAFIM, especially after all they’ve been through.”

    One netizen even commented, “There’s no reason for the artists to have any bad feelings toward each other. This looks good to me.”

    But there was also some skepticism. “Didn’t LE SSERAFIM cause GFRIEND’s disbandment? Stop making drama for attention”, a netizen replied.

    Netizens are watching closely to see how this unexpected collaboration between Yerin and LE SSERAFIM will play out—will it ease tensions or create more? Time will tell.

    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.
