• VIVIZ (GFriend's SinB, Eunha and Umji) Make Their Debut With 'BOP BOP!'

    Leaving behind the name of the group GFRIEND, which has been called for seven years, SinB, Umji, and Eunbi (Eunha) have re-debuted as a new group called VIVIZ, named after each letter.

    On February 9th, VIVIZ first unveiled the stage they had honed through a showcase to commemorate the release of their first mini album "Beam of Prism," expressing confidence, saying, "We prepared it with a mind of no regrets".

    The album included seven songs, including the title song BOP BOP!, Fiesta, Tweet Tweet, Lemonade, Love You Like, and Mirror. In particular, BOP BOP! is a hybrid pop dance genre song that combines Latin rhythm and disco.

    The color of VIVIZ, which stands out so much that SinB thought it was "just this song" after hearing the title song, will be clearly revealed.

    The three, who faced the disbandment of the group in May last year, reunited as "VIVIZ" a combination of "VIVID" and "DAYS," which means "Clear". This contains a pledge to express one's own color proudly in the world.

    Umji explained the color that VIVIZ would show, saying, "I wasn't sure what color would come out before we prepared for the three, but as we worked together, I realized, 'We are this color'".

    GFRIEND, who had both musicality and performance skills, was such a fanatic group. VIVIZ members expressed their desire to show new sides that they had not shown as GFRIEND members.

    Eunha said, "If GFRIEND did music that touched your heart and made you emotional, VIVIZ seems to be doing bouncy music that shook your body". I explained. Umji also commented, "We filled the vocal parts in a variety of ways and included trendy music in the album".

    Above all, VIVIZ members emphasized that they had honed their minds to continue the love they received as GFRIEND members. Comparing VIVIZ to "career newcomers", they promised to become a group full of skills and passion.

    Eunha said, "To set a good precedent, we worked hard to feedback each other and prepared". SinB said, "I had a lot of worries, but I said 'Let's do well' more than 'Let's work hard', and I overcame my worries with passion".

    Meanwhile, VIVIZ's "Beam of Prism" will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. today (February 9th).

  • 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.
