Kep1er member Huening Bahiyyih recently shared how she and her older brother Hueningkai, who is part of Tomorrow X Together (TXT), support each other in their music careers.

Kep1er, which includes Choi Yu Jin, Shao Ting, Kim Chae Hyun, Kim Da Yeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih, and Seo Young Eun, had an interview with Star News at a cafe in Seoul to celebrate the release of their sixth mini album, TIPI-TAP.

During the chat, Huening Bahiyyih revealed, "Before we started our activities, we would share music and ask each other, 'Whose music do you like better?' We both love music, and I think it brings us closer."

When asked which songs she preferred, she laughed and said, "They're all good, but I think our songs are better."

Huening Bahiyyih also shared her hopes for Kep1er, saying, "It's great to do well on Korean music charts, but as a global group, I want us to rank on international charts. If possible, I hope we can make it to the Billboard Hot 100 and have our music recognized and listened to."

Kep1er’s mini album TIPI-TAP will be released on November 1 at 1 PM. The album features the title track 'TIPI-TAP' along with five other songs, including 'SYNC-LOVE,' 'Drip,' 'Bitter Taste,' and 'Heart Surf.'

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.
