Artists representing K-pop, IU and Kai, adorned the cover of Elle's November issue. The shoot was conducted under the concept of IU and Kai spending time alone in their own room. Both of them radiated various charms in a given space and worked comfortably on the shoot.

IU, who is scheduled to release her new song 'Strawberry Moon' on October 19, said, "I wanted to make a very easy song. I hoped it would be a song that didn't make anyone think too much or feel sad when they heard it. I hope the fans can listen to this single with a lot of ease,” she said, expressing her love for the song.

Kai, who was recently active in an entertainment program and released his personal YouTube 'KAIst' through EXO's YouTube channel, said, "I want a lot of fans to see it. Filming itself is fun. I meet various people and learn new aspects,” he said, explaining his recent move.

He also shared his thoughts on music and performance. When asked about their thoughts on experiencing various emotions through IU's songs, IU replied, "It is the most precious decoration that cannot be replaced by anything else. Makes me a little more humble and objective.”

Kai, who released his first solo album last year, also said, "It's more fun to arouse the viewers' diverse thoughts than throwing out a clear concept. Anyway, interpretation is up to you. I want to become an artist who opens a new perspective for people.”

The November issue of 'Elle', featuring IU and Kai, will be specially released in six versions, three for each cover. IU and Kai's pictorials, interviews, and videos can be found on the Elle website and on Elle YouTube.

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.
