STAYC member ISA recently revealed a sweet story about being "flirted with" by Kep1er member Chaehyun!

On the November 4 episode of KBS Cool FM's Lee Eunji’s Gayo Plaza, STAYC’s ISA and J joined Kep1er’s Kim Chaehyun and Choi Yujin as guests. During the broadcast, Chaehyun opened up about how she and ISA became friends.

Chaehyun shared, "After I debuted, our waiting rooms were next to each other, and I felt this instant connection. So, I wrote a note with my number on it, saying, ‘I’d like to be friends if you’re okay with it—please contact me!’ I even mentioned that I’m from Busan and born in 2002."

ISA fondly remembered the moment, saying, “It felt like I was being flirted with! It’s the first time I’ve ever gotten a confession like that, and coming from such a pretty friend, it made me really happy.”

Yujin chimed in, admiring Chaehyun’s boldness, "Even if I want to get closer to a celebrity, I don’t think I’d have the courage to do that. I’d be too nervous, worrying it might be too much."

Looking at the STAYC members, Yujin added with a shy laugh, "I really want to be friends, but it’s hard to say it. Once, I tried to ask J if we could play badminton together, but I just couldn’t follow through. I felt so bad afterward!”

Fans loved the playful interactions and budding friendships among the idols.

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.
