Singer Chungha has ended her exclusive contract with her agency without finishing her regular album.

On the 29th, MNH Entertainment announced that "Chungha's exclusive contract with our company, which started when she debuted in 2016 and lasted for 7 years, will expire on April 29th, 2023."

In addition, it was announced that Chungha's 'Bare&Rare Pt.2' will not be released by MNH Entertainment. 'Bare&Rare' was Chungha's second regular project, which was scheduled to be released in two parts, Part 1 and Part 2.

Last year, Chungha released the first part of 'Bare&Rare' in July, and announced that the second part would be released soon.

At that time, it was also announced that Lachika, who had been collaborating with Chungha, would also be in charge of the performance for Part 2, creating high expectations among fans.

Despite the expectation that 'Bare&Rare Pt.2' would be released soon, the news of the release has not been announced for about 9 months.

In the end, Chungha decided not to renew her contract with MNH Entertainment. The release date for 'Bare&Rare Pt.2' has also not been announced yet.

Last August, Chungha expressed her dissatisfaction with the agency during a live broadcast. In response to fans' comments requesting a world tour, she said, "Why won't they let me do it? It's because of MNH."

She also jokingly said, "I want to leave the company. Please let me go," attracting attention.

Some fans pointed out that MNH Entertainment had been neglecting Chungha. After finishing her activities with I.O.I, Chungha returned to MNH Entertainment as a solo singer and became a "female solo artist."

Although Chungha led the way until the agency moved buildings, fans criticized the agency for not taking better care of her.

MNH Entertainment said, "We sincerely express our deep gratitude to Chungha, who has been with us for a long time," as they let go of Chungha, and expressed interest in her future endeavors.

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.
