• Starship Entertainment Under Fire For Its Treatment Of IVE Jang Won Young

    On September 29, a netizen posted the timeline of activities that Jang Won Young did this week.

    The netizen who posted said, “She spent that day's night in Paris after visiting Yonsei Akaraka.
    She traveled to Paris, attended Fred's event, and as soon as it was over, returned to Korea (it was also a long flight)“.

    The netizen then added, "She just attended the festival at Chungnam Chungbuk National University.)
    She attended a lot of festivals and events prior to then."

    "She has five hours of live Mubank filming today in addition to her five-hour MC special stage filming, as well as appearances at the AJOU and Sungkyunkwan university festivals (the exact time for those appearances has not yet been determined)." the netizen explained.

    Finally, the netizen said, "The following day she will do fansign event. After that, she has returned to Paris for the Miu Miu event. Fans appreciate that she is receiving all of these opportunities, but ask that you also allow her time to relax."

    The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

    Really, I gasp every time I see idols' schedules.

    She must be having a hard time, but she keeps a smile on her face through all of her events.

    Wow, she starts filming in the middle of the night and has to go to two festivals today. Her schedule must be very exhausting. It's cool that she's smiling through all of this.

    They are sending her to Paris like it's a trip to Busan.

    Once you're a model for a brand's events, you shouldn't miss any of them. I'd rather she skip the family event and let the other family members handle it. People will understand if someone has to miss a family event because they have to go to another one. This plan is way too tight.

    I'm sure she can handle it because she's still young, but I'm not sure if she needs to go to all those Paris events.

    Starship's music is way too harsh. I don't think they should be in a hurry to make more money because all of their digital albums hit daebak and made them good money. Why would they force her to go to so many different things? I hope Wonyoung stays healthy and keeps promoting for a long time.

    Wonyoung is still very young, but she needs to take care of her body while she's on tour. I'm watching her with the heart of a grandma.

    Do they think Paris is just around the corner? Cut it out already, or they'll destroy her body.

    She's still a kid, right? Please… They must think it's nice because she works so hard, but her guardian (agency) shouldn't let this go. This is very bad.

  • 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.
