Actor Ji Chang Wook shared a hilarious story about a recent purchase he made on a secondhand app.

On the November 12 episode of SBS's On A Whim, Ji Chang Wook revealed he bought a Pokémon sticker scrapbook through the popular app Carrot.

When host Yoo Jae Suk asked if he had used Carrot before, Ji Chang Wook casually replied, “I bought a Pokémon sticker scrapbook. I met the seller in Dongdaemun recently,” making everyone on set laugh.

His co-star Yoo Yeon-seok asked in surprise, “Did you actually go in person, with a mask on?” Ji Chang Wook nodded and added, “Yep, I even haggled a bit with the seller and got it for 260,000 KRW.”

Ji Chang Wook went on to share his reason for buying the stickers, saying, “Most people buy these stickers to collect them, but I just wanted to actually use them! I bought them to stick everywhere.”

When Yoo Jae Suk asked if he followed through, Ji Chang Wook said with a smile, “Yes, I did! I put them on my tumbler, all over my house… It was like my own little rebellion against people who can’t bear to use them as actual stickers,” which had everyone laughing.

He then quietly admitted, “But I still have a lot left.”

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.
