Actress Suzy is gearing up for a return to music with an exciting new project.

On September 10, KBS announced that Suzy, along with Hwasa, ATEEZ, and more, will embark on a musical journey across Europe in the upcoming variety show "Nation's Singer." The show will take audiences through Germany and Spain, featuring spontaneous encounters and 100% live performances sure to grab global attention.

Unlike previous music programs that focused on showcase-style busking, "Nation's Singer" will offer an 'open mic' format. This means anyone, from K-pop fans to famous international artists, can join in and sing.

In the episode "Nation's Singer - Munich, Germany," Suzy will step back into the spotlight as a vocalist, showcasing her powerful singing skills. ATEEZ will represent K-pop with members Jongho and Hongjoong, while unique singer-songwriter Sunwoo Jung-A, talented singer Sohyang, and musical genius Henry will bring their emotional performances. The Vienna Boys' Choir and Munich Opera Chamber Choir will also make special appearances.

For the "Nation's Singer - Mallorca, Spain" episode, Hwasa, Sohyang, Henry, and charismatic vocalist An Shin-Ae will perform together. Guests include world-renowned tenor Plácido Domingo and Spanish national singer Álvaro Soler, promising a spectacular show that bridges cultures.

"Nation's Singer" will debut on November 2nd at 10:35 PM.

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.
