• Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon on Constructive Criticism: "I Appreciate Constructive Criticism"

    Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon has shown appreciation for constructive feedback over harsh criticism.

    On June 26th, Hyoyeon uploaded a video titled "'Chuu' Finally Breaks Down Due to Hyoyeon's Style LOL" on her YouTube channel 'Hyo's Level Up', featuring guest Chuu.

    During their conversation, Chuu discussed her approach to forming friendships, saying, "I tend to judge people based on my first impression. If I like someone, I'll try to get closer, but I'm generally reserved. I only dine with people I genuinely like. When I meet kind-hearted individuals, I express my desire to connect and exchange contact information."

    Reflecting on this, Hyoyeon commented, "Kind people tend to attract other kind-hearted individuals around them."

    Chuu also shared her experience, mentioning, "Sometimes, I feel like I give a robotic reaction when I say everything is fine." Hyoyeon reassured her that her praise is genuine, to which Chuu responded, "Most of the time, it is sincere."

    Discussing her own confidence, Hyoyeon stated, "I'm able to speak my mind freely." She explained, "It's not that I couldn't say 'NO' before; I simply didn't express my opinions openly. But nowadays, I'm doing much better."

    When Chuu asked about how others perceive her, Hyoyeon responded promptly, "I can answer quickly because I'm clear about what I like and dislike. Living this way feels more comfortable for me now. In the past, I used to hesitate, which sometimes led to insincerity. But I've overcome that."

    Chuu also expressed her own journey with assertiveness, saying, "I'm also practicing saying 'NO,' and it feels liberating."

    Hyoyeon revealed that she values constructive criticism, saying, "While receiving applause for something well-deserved is nice, objective feedback helps me grow more. I truly appreciate people who offer sincere critiques instead of just praise."

    She added, "I'm really thankful for those who write critical comments sincerely." Chuu mentioned she typically reads positive comments, to which Hyoyeon responded, "That's one way to go about it. But personally, comments with double S marks catch my attention first; it's something I notice."

    Hyoyeon's openness to feedback highlights her commitment to personal growth and authenticity, resonating with her audience through her candid reflections.

  • 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.
