Netizens are buzzing with excitement over BLACKPINK Jennie's thriving schedule since parting ways with YG Entertainment.

Towards the end of 2023, BLACKPINK members renewed their group contract with YG Entertainment, excluding individual deals. Soon after, Jennie established her own agency, ODDATELIER, to manage her solo endeavors.

Even though 2024 has just begun, fans are already applauding Jennie for her packed schedule. In the first few days of the year, stunning photos of Jennie for Hera and Coco Chanel were unveiled.

Jennie's participation in the upcoming show "Apartment 404" generated further anticipation, with the trailer released on January 2. Netizens eagerly await her return to the variety show scene after a considerable hiatus.

Adding to the excitement, it was announced on the same day that Jennie would be the inaugural guest on Lee Hyori's new show, "Red Carpet."

Spotting her entering the KBS building heightened the anticipation for her first appearance on a KBS show, excluding music programs.

As news of Jennie's appearance on "Red Carpet" spread, netizens flooded the internet with comments suggesting that YG Entertainment had hindered her potential.

Despite the recent announcement of her solo company, fans speculate that Jennie has been involved in solo activities for a while and commend her for actively promoting herself.

Netizens shared their thoughts:

"This proves YG was the issue; everyone is suddenly working hard like rent is due!"

"YG held Jennie back so much, with some even blaming her for not appearing on variety shows. Look at her now!"

"Notice how Jennie is getting more opportunities after leaving YG. She's truly flourishing after being set free!"

"Jennie's packed schedule post-YG proves how much she was held back. It's fantastic to see her finally break free."

"From being the least seen on Korean shows to securing two appearances in just two days, Jennie's journey from YG restrictions is remarkable."

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.
