Actress Lee Yeon Hee Opened Up About How Her Love For Acting Stopped Her From Making Her Debut With Girls' Generation
On May 20, actress Lee Yeon Hee went on a gourmet journey to Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, in the 153rd episode of TV Chosun's "Watch Gourmet Mukbang Trip".
"My first agency, I believe, was SM Entertainment, and I spent my time as a trainee with Girls' Generation friends, as you probably already know", Lee Yeon Hee said when Heo Young Man asked about Lee Yeon Hee's first appearance as a girl group member on that day.
"Isn't Girls' Generation a strong group?" Heo Young Man said, "Was it better to join Girls' Generation or become an actor like you are now?".
"I'm not sure why, but I wanted to be an actress when I was a trainee", she responded.
"I auditioned a lot and was rejected a lot", she recalled, "despite the fact that I was tall (172 cm) at the time, there were numerous circumstances where it was impossible due to my height. My height prevents me from being an actor".
"People who dropped it at that time would have regretted it much later", Heo Young Man said. "It's nice to think that way," he added.
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.
