SEVENTEEN's leader S.Coups has been under scrutiny and criticism since it was announced earlier this year that he would be exempted from military service due to an ACL injury he sustained in August 2023.

Despite his injury being deemed a Grade 5 during a physical examination, which automatically exempts him from enlistment, he faced criticism.

S.Coups was on hiatus from the group for several months due to his injury and had to undergo surgery during his recovery process.

It wasn't until March that S.Coups was able to rejoin some of SEVENTEEN’s group activities, albeit in a limited capacity to avoid the risk of reinjury.

However, a short clip from one of the group’s performances from late March has recently gained attention online.

The screenshot from the clip appears to show S.Coups jumping high during a performance while the other members are just standing.

This led to renewed criticism of him for allegedly "avoiding" military enlistment.

Comments from some Korean netizens on the post were highly critical. However, upon viewing the full clip, it appears that the screenshot was taken out of context.

S.Coups didn’t jump that high to begin with, and it turns out he was just a beat ahead of the other members in the choreography.

Others shared that he actually took a lot of breaks and was careful for the majority of the performance.

Many fans have come to his defense in this matter, reminding people that it was the military itself, and not S.Coups, that refused to let him enlist.

Some fans do think that he could have taken it a little easier due to the harsh criticism he’d already received for the military exemption, but it’s possible he was just so excited to be on stage again that he couldn’t help himself!

As the debate continues, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates from S.Coups and are sending their love and support to the star.

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.
