Irene seemed to have her best friend in mind!

Irene of Red Velvet was recently asked by a fan in a video call fansign event who her favorite girl group members were, and she named BLACKPINK as one of them!

BLACKPINK and Red Velvet are two of the best 3rd-gen girl groups.

They are close friends, even though they aren't often photographed together.

A fan wanted to know more about how close the two famous groups were, so they played a game with Irene in which the fan named a K-Pop group and questioned Irene to mention her favorite member from that group.

Aespa, a girl group from SM Entertainment, was one among the groups the fan mentioned.

Red Velvet and aespa recently worked together on a holiday single called "Beautiful Christmas."

This gave them a chance to spend more time with each other.

Aespa couldn't pick a favorite member because she thinks they're all cute.

When Irene was asked about BLACKPINK, she had one member in mind as her favorite.

Irene has said before that it's hard for her to get close to individuals but a member of BLACKPINK greeted her sweetly at a hair salon and quickly won Irene's heart.

Irene named her best friend Jennie when asked about BLACKPINK.

They have a well-known friendship and have even been seen together in other countries.

In 2019, they were seen getting a meal together in Los Angeles and were caught "fighting" for the bill in a funny and cute way.

Irene naming BLACKPINK as her favorite band wasn't the only thing that went viral during her recent fan calls.

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.
