GFRIEND is back together after four years, and they have a lot to share about their long-awaited reunion.

On the 10th episode of KBS 2TV's The Seasons - Lee Young Ji's Rainbow, GFRIEND made a special appearance as guests, where they opened up about their break and comeback.

Sowon from GFRIEND set the record straight, saying, "There were many articles referring to a disbandment, but it was not a disbandment. It was the end of our contract. It wasn't a disbandment." This clears up any confusion, as GFRIEND reunited after a four-year break.

Umji also shared her thoughts, saying, "The 10th anniversary is significant and meaningful. We’ve always thought, even subconsciously, that we should do something monumental to mark it."

The members also took a trip down memory lane and recalled their early days, including a memorable stage mishap. Yuju recalled falling several times during their debut performance due to heavy rain, which earned her the nickname "Kkwadang Yuju" (a playful reference to her falls). She laughed and shared, "It started raining heavily as soon as our stage began. I thought it was an accident as I got on stage. The members couldn’t make it to the center, everyone was slipping, and I fell the most dramatically."

Yuju revealed one of her strengths and weaknesses, saying, "I don’t feel pain well. So I just went with it. One of the things I’m good at is self-hypnosis. Every time I fell on stage, I just thought to myself, 'No one saw that.'"

GFRIEND's reunion is more than just a celebration of their anniversary—it's a return to the group they’ve always been. Fans are excited to see what’s next for these talented stars.

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
