F.T. Island's Song Seung Hyun has officially announced his departure from the entertainment industry.

On February 15th, he took to his social media to share a heartfelt message, expressing his apologies to his fans who have been patiently waiting during his hiatus.

He revealed his future plans, stating, "After a lot of contemplation, I've decided to step away from the entertainment industry and possibly leave Korea to embark on a new journey."

Reflecting on his journey, he shared, "It's been 4 years since I parted ways with F.T. Island and ventured into acting. The challenges of adapting to a new profession and environment were tough, but the uncertainty of waiting and navigating interpersonal relationships were even more daunting."

Song Seung Hyun expressed his determination to lead a healthier and more regular life, saying, "Regardless of what I do, there will always be challenges in work and relationships. However, I'm committed to leading a new life that I can manage on a daily basis."

Song Seung Hyun has been showcasing his talents as a guitarist since F.T. Island's EP album 'Jump Up' in 2009. He transitioned into acting after his exclusive contract with his agency ended in 2019.

His acting credits include web dramas 'Investigator Alice Season 2', 'Oh! My Assistant', and musicals 'Jack the Ripper' and 'The Three Musketeers'.

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.
