Former AOA member Jimin is officially making her return, but not as a singer. This time, she’s stepping into the world of YouTube, and fans are buzzing with excitement—and curiosity.

On January 5, Jimin took to her social media to announce a special event for her birthday, January 8. She invited fans to a birthday café meet-up in Seoul, writing, "I know these are heavy times, so I’ve been cautious. But I want to give back the love I’ve received. "

She added, "Instead of a big birthday party, I decided on a café event to bring comfort to one another during these tough times." Her post also included the heartfelt phrase, "Yes, I want to meet you…"

Adding to the surprise, Jimin shared plans to launch her own YouTube channel in 2025, marking her transformation into a content creator. While the exact date for her first video hasn’t been revealed, fans are eager to see what’s next for her.

Jimin’s return comes after a rocky exit from the spotlight. In 2020, she left AOA and announced her retirement following serious bullying allegations from former member Kwon Mina.

After staying away for two years, Jimin signed with a new agency and briefly appeared on JTBC’s The Second World. However, her activities have been minimal until now.

As Jimin reconnects with fans and takes steps to resume her career, attention has turned to Kwon Mina, who has a history of publicly addressing Jimin’s actions. Mina accused Jimin of bullying her for a decade, claims that initially gained her widespread support.

But public opinion shifted over time, as Mina became embroiled in controversies, including alleged two-timing, mistreatment of staff, and other scandals. Many grew tired of Mina’s repeated mentions of Jimin, leading to a promise from Mina last year that she would no longer bring her up.

Interestingly, Mina has also transitioned to online platforms, becoming a YouTuber and Afreeca BJ. With Jimin’s return now official, fans are speculating: will Mina stay true to her promise, or will she respond to Jimin’s new chapter?

Jimin’s YouTube comeback has sparked hope among fans who missed her, while others are keeping a close eye on any developments between the two former bandmates. Only time will tell how this unfolds.

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.
