• Girls' Generation's YoonA faces disrespectful treatment at Cannes Film Festival, fans accuse security of bias

    Girls' Generation member YoonA turned heads at the 77th Cannes Film Festival with her stunning appearance in a princess gown.

    However, the attention has shifted from admiration to worry due to troubling incidents involving the festival's security. Trouble started when Dominican actress Massiel Taveras faced interference from a female security staff during her red carpet moment.

    As Taveras tried to show off her elegant gown, adorned with a portrait of Jesus Christ, the security personnel repeatedly disrupted her, hindering her poses and attempts to showcase the dress's lengthy trail.

    Despite Taveras's resistance, the security guard persisted in getting in her way, echoing a similar incident involving singer Kelly Rowland just days before.The video of this altercation quickly went viral, sparking outrage as viewers noticed the repeated pattern of behavior by the security personnel.

    Further investigation revealed that YoonA had also faced similar treatment from the same individual during her first day at Cannes.

    Though YoonA's response seemed more subdued compared to Taveras and Rowland, her discomfort was evident.

    Critics and fans condemned these actions as racially motivated, pointing out the difference in treatment between women of color and white celebrities.

    While white celebrities reportedly faced no interruptions while posing on the same stairs, women of color experienced unwarranted disruptions and discomfort.

    In response, people worldwide have come together to condemn the behavior of the implicated security personnel, calling for accountability and swift action, including demands for her dismissal.

  • 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.
