Actress Seol In Ah recently shared her personal battle with insomnia.

On the first episode of tvN's "The Iron Squad of Girls", which aired on September 7, Seol In Ah sat down with fellow actresses Jin Seo Yeon, Uee, and Park Ju Hyun as they prepared for a tough triathlon challenge.

During the episode, Jin Seo Yeon asked Seol In Ah why she chose to take part in the challenge. Seol paused before revealing, "Honestly, I can't sleep. I've been taking sleeping pills for about five years."

She went on to explain, "It really frustrated me. I kept asking myself, 'Why do I need pills just to sleep?' I even thought, 'Am I not tired enough?' So I pushed myself harder, trying to stay busy. That's how I got this image of living a 'perfect life.'"

Seol added, "In reality, I was just moving more, hoping it would help me sleep better. Even though people see me as healthy, I’ve never truly been healthy. I want to use this challenge to get better."

She also shared how it affected her work: "When I take sleeping pills, it's hard to focus on filming. Last year, I tried to stop taking them, but after not sleeping for 3–4 days, my immune system broke down. I ended up at the hospital and now take 24 medications a day. I really want to get healthy again."

The Iron Squad of Girls follows Jin Seo Yeon, Uee, Seol In Ah, and Park Ju Hyun as they take on the extreme triathlon. The show airs every Saturday at 5:50 p.m. on tvN.

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.
