Jinhwan Kim of iKON “Preparing for a new album, working hard” [Picture]

Jinhwan Kim of the group iKON released a pictorial and interview through the September issue of <Marie Claire>.

Kim Jin-hwan in the published pictorial created an atmosphere full of autumn atmosphere. In a pictorial with a uniquely shaped plant, he captured attention by digesting a pink color suit, silk shirt, and tweed jacket in his own way.

In an interview after filming, Jinhwan Kim said that he was preparing for a new album after taking a break after finishing <Kingdom: Legendary War>. I want to make good music that meets expectations, but at the same time, I feel impatient because I don't want the fans to wait too long, but I also added the story that I'm trying to make better music.

On the other hand, after the definition of 'iconness' was given, he also expressed his desire to release his own solo album. Expectations for new music were also hinted at from him, who pursued a well-balanced stage without leaning towards either dance or singing.

More pictorials and interviews of 'Kim Jin-hwan', an icon who is getting hotter on stage, can be found in the September issue of <Marie Claire> and on the Marie Claire website.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
