IVE Gaeul's recent change to a longer and darker hair color has captivated the online community.

Throughout her time with IVE, particularly since their debut with "ELEVEN," Gaeul mostly sported hair in lighter shades.

Although there were occasional instances of her opting for darker hair, her recent appearances, featuring an extended jet black hairstyle, have left netizens more impressed than ever before.

At the 'KCON LA 2023' event, Gaeul made a stunning impression by revealing her significantly elongated hairdo. Departing from her previous short hair, the idol chose a longer and darker hair color, transforming her look.

Online users eagerly joined discussions on various platforms to voice their opinions about Gaeul's fresh hairstyle:

"With long hair, she was pretty in a simple way, but with short hair, she had a unique vibe. It's like Minnie and her bangs. Without them, she looked innocent and pretty, but with bangs, she had a cool image. I think that's the idea. All the members of IVE are beautiful, but I think they gave her short hair to give her a distinct character. Also, please share this post on enter-talk! ?"

"During 'ELEVEN', many people said she looked like Leeseo, so they created this image for her with short hair. But I personally think she looks better with long hair."

"But she had long hair when she debuted, right? After the short hair, her popularity increased because of her new image. Now that she has long hair again, she looks even prettier. That's probably why people are reacting so positively."

"I saved this picture because she looked so beautiful."

"The reason why the short hair didn't suit her was probably because they always gave her hair color that was too bright and the length just wasn't right. I think a slightly longer bob with more muted hair color would have suited her well. But they cut it off as soon as it started growing a bit longer."

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.
