The ‘Snake Year’, which could only be seen at the 1st ‘D Awards’, held on the 22nd, and the ‘D-Tail Awards’, which was a mini awards ceremony within the awards ceremony, are daily topics of conversation.
The ‘Snake Year’ was an event where stars born in the year of the snake gathered together to hear about their extraordinary aspirations for the ‘Year of the Blue Snake’ in 2025. The ‘Snake Year’ included Enhypen‘s Heeseung, Zerobase One’s Hanbin, and Rise‘s Eunseok and Sungchan. It also caught attention in that only members of groups representing the 4th and 5th generations gathered together.
Even though they didn’t have a special stage, this combination that could not be seen anywhere else drew intense interest both domestically and internationally.
On the 24th, various online bulletin boards and SNS were flooded with photos of them all together.
Also, the ‘D-Tail Awards’, which became a hot topic as an ‘Awards Ceremony’ within the awards ceremony, cannot be left out. Mimi Minu, who won the Impact Award at the ‘D Awards’, appeared as a special MC and led the ‘Minute Awards Ceremony’.
As the name suggests, the ‘D-Tail Awards’ is an award that pays attention to very detailed aspects and was divided into three categories.

The ‘Pentagonal Idol Award’, which is perfect in every way, went to Triple-S member Kim Yoo-yeon, who said, “I want to become a wider pentagon for Triple-S, and even a hexagonal idol.”

The ‘I was just sitting there, and he got the award first’ is also interesting. Group P1Harmony member Intak won the award for capturing the hearts of fans by creating countless ‘boyfriend memes’ (photos).
