The announcement of Lee Jun Ki and Shin Se Kyung as the new leads in the highly anticipated second season of "Arthdal Chronicles" has generated a wave of contrasting opinions among netizens.

While Lee Jun Ki's casting has been met with enthusiasm due to his suitable appearance for historical dramas and his commendable acting skills, Shin Se Kyung's inclusion has raised concerns among viewers who question her ability to deliver a compelling performance.

"Arthdal Chronicles" made its debut in 2019, featuring a star-studded cast including Jang Dong Gun, Song Joong Ki, and Kim Ji Won.

Despite initially receiving modest ratings, the drama garnered praise for its intriguing plot. After four years of preparation, the long-awaited second season is set to air, promising a brand-new era in the land of Arth.

Lee Jun Ki's involvement in the drama has been met with a positive response from the audience. Known for his versatility and captivating performances in historical dramas, the actor brings a wealth of experience to his new role.

Viewers are excited to witness the collaboration between Lee Jun Ki and Jang Dong Gun, creating anticipation for the upcoming season.

In contrast to Lee Jun Ki's warm reception, Shin Se Kyung's casting has been met with skepticism. Despite being equally stunning in appearance, the actress has faced criticism in the past for her stiff and emotionless acting.

This has led to concerns among viewers, who fear that her inclusion may impact the overall performance and enjoyment of the drama.

Netizens Share Their Opinions:

"I'm absolutely thrilled to see Lee Jun Ki in 'Arthdal Chronicles'! He always delivers exceptional performances in historical dramas. Can't wait for the second season!"

"I have reservations about Shin Se Kyung's acting skills. I hope she proves me wrong and surprises us all with her performance. Fingers crossed!"

"Lee Jun Ki's casting is a perfect match for the drama's historical setting. I have no doubt he'll excel in his role. Excited to see him share the screen with Jang Dong Gun!"

"I'm cautiously optimistic about Shin Se Kyung's casting. While she may have had some weaker performances in the past, this could be an opportunity for her to showcase her growth as an actress."

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.
