The duo earned nominations in multiple categories, further proving their popularity. The finalist list, released on November 25 (local time), revealed that Jimin and Jungkook are nominated for 'Top Global K-Pop Artist' and 'Top Global K-Pop Song' for the second year in a row.

Jimin's solo track "Who" from his album MUSE has been nominated for 'Top Global K-Pop Song.' Upon release, "Who" made a strong debut, landing at No. 14 on Billboard's Hot 100, making it his sixth solo song to chart. It stayed on the Hot 100 for 17 weeks, proving its lasting popularity.

Jungkook is also shining with his solo singles. He’s nominated for his songs "3D (feat. Jack Harlow)" and "Standing Next to You" from his album GOLDEN. "Standing Next to You" is also in the running for 'Top Selling Song.' Both songs debuted in the top 5 of the Hot 100, an impressive feat.

In addition, Jungkook’s album GOLDEN has been nominated for 'Top K-Pop Album.' The album made history by charting on the Billboard 200 for 24 weeks in a row, setting a new record for the longest-charting album by a Korean solo artist. Jungkook is also a finalist for 'Top Song Sales Artist,' making him the first-ever K-pop solo artist to be nominated in this category. With six nominations, he has the most nominations among K-pop artists at this year’s BBMAs.

BTS has already made history at the BBMAs, winning 12 trophies, including 'Top Social Artist' (2017-2021), 'Top Duo/Group' (2019, 2021-2022), and 'Top Selling Song' (2021-2022). Last year, Jungkook won 'Top Global K-Pop Song' for his solo hit "Seven (feat. Latto)."

Actor Jung Woo Sung is once again at the center of controversy as alleged direct messages (DMs) he sent to a non-celebrity woman have surfaced online.

On November 26, several online communities began sharing screenshots of Instagram DMs supposedly exchanged between Jung Woo Sung and a woman identified as "A."

In the messages, the individual, believed to be Jung Woo Sung, started the conversation by complimenting A’s “cool profession.” When A questioned, “You weren’t hacked, right?” the person responded, “No, I saw your feed and thought you seemed like someone who enjoys and excels in their work. I held back for a while but decided to say hello.”

As the exchange continued, the messages became more personal, with the individual sharing scenic photos and details about their daily life. After a couple of days, the individual reportedly asked, “Can I share my number with you?” and offered their contact information, suggesting they continue the conversation through text.

The alleged DMs reportedly date back to 2021 or earlier, during the filming of The Silent Sea, a Netflix original series produced by Jung Woo Sung.

This comes on the heels of recent revelations involving Moon Ga Bi, who broke her social media silence to announce her pregnancy and childbirth.

It was later revealed that Jung Woo Sung is the biological father of her child, which led to a public stir. Despite his confirmation to support the child financially, Jung Woo Sung has not expressed intentions to marry.

The controversy deepened when it was reported that Jung Woo Sung was in a long-term relationship with another non-celebrity woman, who was allegedly shocked to learn about his child with Moon Ga Bi. Additionally, affectionate sticker photos of Jung Woo Sung with yet another woman, believed to be a non-celebrity, have circulated online.

Regarding these allegations, including confirmation of his paternity, Jung Woo Sung's representatives have stated they are “unable to verify” the claims at this time.
