    Actress Joo Hyun Young, known for her vibrant presence on 'SNL Korea,' has decided to concentrate on her acting career and will no longer be part of 'Jigumabul World Travel.'

    Her participation in the ENA and TEO's entertainment project 'Jigumabul World Travel 2' has fallen through, and she won't be returning for Season 2.

    Despite her role as a studio MC alongside Noh Hong Chul and Joo Woo Jae in Season 1, the show will proceed with Noh Hong Chul and Joo Woo Jae as the duo MCs.

    'Jigumabul World Travel' is an entertainment program where travel influencers embark on a global journey designed around the board game "Blue Marble."

    Joo Hyun Young, during the show's first season, guided viewers through the random travels of influencers Pani Bottle, Won Ji, and Kwak Tube, adding laughter and enjoyment to the show.

    Having previously departed from 'SNL Korea,' Joo Hyun Young plans to dedicate her time to her primary profession, acting. She is currently appearing in the Tving Original 'Crime Scene Returns' and has showcased remarkable performances in various roles, including in dramas like 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo Young-woo' and 'Surviving as a Celebrity Manager.'

    Her acting journey continues with recent appearances in the MBC drama 'The Legend of Park’s Marriage,' and she has upcoming projects like the movie 'Mystery Train' and the release of the movie '2 PM Date.'

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    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.
