IU is once again proving why she’s loved by so many, as she steps up to support citizens at the rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

On December 13, IU’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, made a heartfelt announcement on her official fan cafe. They shared, “In this cold weather, we’ve prepared food and hand warmers to warm the hands of UAENAs (IU’s fans) and others who are shining their lights at the rally. Please stay healthy and check the details below for the locations.”

IU’s generous support includes 200 pieces of bread, 200 beverages, 100 rice cakes, and 200 bowls of hot soup. The food and warm packs are available at specific restaurants and bakeries in Yeouido, where participants can simply mention “UAENA” to receive them.

But IU didn’t stop there! The thoughtful gesture isn’t just for her fans—anyone attending the rally can benefit from her support. Distribution will continue from the 14th until supplies run out, with updates shared at the locations and through the fan cafe.

Fans praised IU’s actions, calling her a true role model. One fan wrote, “This is why IU is the nation’s sweetheart!”

By lending her help in such a meaningful way, IU shows her solidarity with the public and her dedication to spreading warmth—both literally and figuratively.

BTS’s Jimin has just scored another major victory in his solo career, winning the prestigious 'International Male Artist of the Year' award at the 2024 Pure Chart Awards in France.

The award was presented during a digital ceremony hosted by the French radio station RPM and Pure Chart, a top music site that has been a major player in the French music scene for over 20 years. Jimin took home the top prize in the highly competitive category, beating out some of the biggest names in music, including U.S. hip-hop legend Kendrick Lamar and global sensation The Weeknd.

Not only did Jimin win, but he also did so in style, securing six times more votes than the runner-up. This massive victory further proves Jimin’s dominance not just in K-pop, but as a 21st-century pop icon.

Pure Chart highlighted Jimin’s success alongside Taylor Swift, calling them the “standout international artists” of the year.

Jimin’s victory at the Pure Chart Awards adds to his already impressive year. Earlier in 2024, he made history at the MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the 'Best Fans’ Choice of the Year' award and the 'Fans’ Choice Main Award.' He also snagged the ‘Best K-pop’ award at the MTV Europe Music Awards, proving once again that he is a global force in music.

Jimin’s solo album MUSE, released on July 19, continues to make waves across the world, even without promotions due to his military enlistment. His title track, “Who,” recently made headlines as it reached No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 as of December 14, marking an incredible 20 consecutive weeks on the chart and solidifying his status as one of the most influential solo artists in the world.
