Kim Junsu, the powerhouse vocalist and former TVXQ member, took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as he spilled some major tea about his debut days with the legendary group.

In a recent episode of '2nd Generation Idol Summit' on the YouTube channel 'Jibdaesung,' Kim Junsu joined the conversation as a special guest, engaging in some candid talks with Daesung.

Opening up about his whirlwind journey to stardom, Kim Junsu revealed a jaw-dropping anecdote from his trainee days, saying, "I remember being summoned back from a school trip to Jeju Island because investors were visiting SM. I didn't realize it then, but looking back, I see it was a pivotal moment."

He added, "It was my first school trip, and I had just touched down when I got the call to rush back to Seoul. Needless to say, my friends were green with envy."

Daesung chimed in with his own experience, sharing, "I never had the luxury of choice. It was always G-Dragon and Taeyang taking the spotlight as YG's future."

Reflecting on his commitment to SM, Kim Junsu revealed, "Even if I had other offers, I wouldn't have left. I was all in. I even sang H.O.T. or Shinhwa songs at auditions."

Recalling his audition days, he humorously reminisced, "My voice was so high-pitched back then; some mistook it for a girl's!"

Addressing the formation of TVXQ, Kim Junsu revealed, "We weren't just the best; we were SM's last hope. Failure wasn't an option."

He continued, "Originally slated to debut with Eunhyuk and Sungmin, fate had other plans. TVXQ took the spotlight."

Describing the chaotic debut process, he added, "It was a whirlwind. We went from being soloists to a group in a heartbeat. The name TVXQ wasn't even our first choice!"

Years after leaving SM, Kim Junsu reflected on his journey, saying, "Appearing on EBS's 'Space Sympathy' was a turning point. It wasn't a typical idol gig, and I'm forever grateful for the opportunity."

Despite facing setbacks, he remained resolute, saying, "I questioned myself, but giving up wasn't an option. I wanted to see how far I could go."

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.
