• Stray Kids' Felix Stands Up for Himself After Receiving "Weird" Birthday Gifts

    Stray Kids member Felix recently gained attention for setting clear boundaries during a live broadcast celebrating his birthday.

    During the livestream, Felix interacted with fans, and because he is often compared to a cat, the staff gave him some cat-related items like ears and paws.

    Fans noticed how Felix responded honestly as he tried on the items, showing his reactions.

    However, things took a turn when Felix was handed a choker. The idol seemed surprised and hesitated. After thinking about it, he said, "Am I really going to do this? No."

    As Felix read fans' comments asking if he would wear the choker, he appeared uncomfortable. He firmly set a limit, pointing to the ears and paws and saying, "I think this is enough, okay?"

    When given a tail next, Felix tried it on briefly but quickly removed it, saying, "No, this is weird."

    Some fans had already expressed concerns over the connotations of certain items, and they were quick to praise Felix for standing his ground.

    Netizens applauded him for setting boundaries and making it clear that he wouldn’t wear something he felt uncomfortable in, a move that many saw as empowering for idols.

  • BTS's Jimin Makes History by Winning 'Fan’s Choice Grand Prize' at the 2024 MAMA Awards

    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.
