• Suzy Shares Why Music Will Always Be Her First Love, Despite Acting, on "I Am a Singer"

    Actress and singer Suzy opened up about her deep passion for music, sharing her journey on KBS 2TV's I Am a Singer.

    In the December 7 episode of the music travel reality show, Suzy took viewers along on her busking adventure in Munich, showcasing her love for music beyond acting.

    Suzy was introduced with impressive titles like "Debuted in 2010 and became a K-pop icon," "Countless hit songs," and "Continued her music career as a solo artist," but she humbly shared, “I started this career because I really love music. I wanted to do this kind of music travel. It might be a little tight since I’m filming a drama right now, and it might be a bit of a burden."

    She added, "I really wanted to go, but I initially turned it down, then thought again that I really wanted to participate. I was so eager to take part in this.” Her genuine excitement for the show showed how much she values music.

    Now celebrating 15 years since her debut, Suzy reflected on the passage of time, saying, “Time keeps passing. At some point, it’s not about trying to let people know anymore, but I’ve been trying to release albums at times when I’m comfortable. That’s why it took longer.” She admitted that continuing her music career hasn't always been easy.

    Suzy also shared her approach to music, revealing, “When I like an artist, it’s not like I specifically follow one person. I tend to like songs that I hear by chance or come across. I think I want to be someone like that as well.” She expressed her desire to make music that resonates with others, just like the songs she discovers on her own.

    She also expressed pride in her music, saying, “Sometimes when someone tells me they like a song of mine that nobody knows, it feels really rewarding. I love it when people appreciate those songs.”

    Suzy’s unique voice filled the I Am a Singer stage, leaving fans excited to see more of her musical talents unfold in the future.

    I Am a Singer is a music variety program where top K-pop artists travel to different countries to explore local music and culture while discovering what it truly means to be a "singer."

  • BTS' Jin visits Andong to help wildfire victims, serves meals at Baek Jong Won’s relief center

    BTS member Jin has touched hearts once again with his kind gesture to support those affected by wildfires.

    On April 3, Jin visited Gilan Middle School in Gilan-myeon, Andong, to serve meals to disaster victims and firefighters. His actions brought much-needed comfort to the people in the area.

    Gilan Middle School is where celebrity chef Baek Jong Won, a close friend of Jin, has been running a free meal service through his company, The Born Korea.

    Since March 28, The Born Korea has been providing meals for the wildfire victims, preparing 300 to 700 servings each time to ensure that the affected people and firefighters receive warm food.

    Jin quietly made his way to Andong, a region that suffered extensive damage from the wildfire, to lend a helping hand.

    Big Hit Music, Jin’s agency, shared, “Jin wanted to provide even a small amount of help to those affected by the wildfires, which is why he decided to participate in this volunteer activity.”

    This heartwarming gesture follows BTS's large donations for wildfire recovery efforts. Jungkook donated a whopping 1 billion KRW, while V gave 200 million KRW, and RM, J-Hope, and Suga each contributed 100 million KRW to aid in the recovery.
