• 'My Love From The Star' Japanese Remake Receives Mixed Reactions From Netizens

    The popular drama 'My Love from the Star' has been remade in Japan and is about to air.

    On January 14th, a trailer for 'My Love from the Stars' was released on Amazon Prime Video Japan's YouTube channel.

    In the released trailer, Sota Fukushi and Mizuki Yamamoto appeared as Do Min Joon and Cheon Song Yi, played by Kim Soo Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun, respectively.

    However, the reaction of domestic netizens who saw the trailer was not very good. This is because the visuals of Kim Soo Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun in the original work and the visuals of the two actors showed a big difference.

    Moreover, even in the short trailer, the exaggerated performances of the actors stand out, so there are some who express their anxiety about Japan's unique directing ability.

    'My Love from the Stars', which aired in 2013, was scheduled to be remade by ABC in the United States, but it was canceled once. After twists and turns, the remake was made in Japan, and interest is gathering whether it will be able to meet the expectations of the original fans.

    Meanwhile, the remake version of 'My Love from the Star' will be released on Amazon Prime Video on February 23rd.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    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.
