BLACKPINK debuted the stage of "Pink Venom" in the United States, and "Pop Empress" Taylor Swift, which shines in the three crowns of "VMAS", also enjoyed the stage.

BLACKPINK attended the "2022MTV VMAs" held at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, USA on August 28th and presented a splendid performance stage.

On this day, BLACKPINK made their US debut for "Pink Venom" at "VMAs", and they won the "Best Metaverse Performance Award". In addition, BLACKPINK's member Lisa won the "Best K-Pop" award for her solo song "LALISA".

"Pink Venom" is a pre-release song of the 2nd regular album "Born Pink", which will be released on September 16, and is a hip-hop genre song that shows BLACKPINK's unique strong charisma.

Taylor Swift, who was selected for three "VMAs" awards, danced while watching BLACKPINK's members, sang along and cheered, drawing the attention of the viewers.

There is a reference to Taylor Swift in the lyrics of "Pink Venom", which she took from the 2017 song "Look What You Made Me Do" and included the lyrics "Look what you made us do".

Knowing this, Taylor enjoyed BLACKPINK's stage while singing along all the English lyrics, shouting the verse even louder.

Lato, the co-host of the awards ceremony, introduced BLACKPINK's stage, leading the K-pop sensation. “Not only did this group dominate K-pop, they dominated the world,” he said. “They are the first K-pop group to perform at the VMAs”, he said. “This is the group’s first American awards ceremony”.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK, who successfully finished the awards ceremony, said, “We will work hard to show a good side in the future".

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.
