Netizens were unimpressed with the concept of Choi Ye Na's new single album titled track, "Hate Rodrigo".

Following the release of Choi Ye Na's highlight medley and teaser concept photos for her upcoming single album, many netizens expressed discomfort with the concept of the track, which seemed to take a dig at the American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo.

The title track, "Hate Rodrigo," not only caused a stir but also drew attention to the striking similarities between the scenes and photos used for Choi Ye Na's album and Olivia Rodrigo's music video scenes and 'Sour' album cover photo, raising suspicions.

Netizens shared their thoughts, expressing concerns such as, "Aren't they too close in age for her to be doing an 'homage' to the artist?" and "This feels like low-level trolling."

They also questioned the use of the word 'hate' and wondered if Choi Ye Na went too far with her approach.

The comments from netizens included:

"It seems strange that she would choose to emulate an artist who is around the same age as her. It feels like she's trying too hard."

"This concept is just petty and unnecessary. Why would she stoop to this level?"

"I understand what she's trying to convey, but using the word 'hate' seems too extreme."

"I think Choi Ye Na went overboard with this concept. It's not a good look."

"I'm disappointed by the lack of originality in Choi Ye Na's concept. It's like a cheap imitation of Olivia Rodrigo."

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.
