(G)I-DLE's Yuqi shared some tough stories about her trainee days and the strict dieting rules she faced.

On July 12th, a video featuring Yuqi was posted on the YouTube channel '집대성'. In the video, Yuqi talked about how hard it was to diet as a female idol trainee.

She said, "When I was a trainee, we had to weigh ourselves every Saturday. I always felt so sick on those days." Daesung, who was also in the video, felt for her and said, "Weighing yourselves every week? That’s really tough."

Yuqi then mentioned, "Miyeon unnie told me that YG trainees weigh themselves every day." Daesung replied, "We wouldn’t know. It seems like female trainees had it tougher."

Daesung asked, "You must have become an expert at losing weight. What was the most effective method?"

Yuqi answered, "I really became an expert. After eating during Chuseok, I gained a lot of weight. They printed our weights and posted them in front of the office." She explained that everyone could see her weight.

She added, "At that time, seniors like BTOB, Pentagon, and HyunA sunbaenim could see it as they passed by, so I lost 5kg in three days. We had to reach our target weight before they would take the printout down. I still can’t forget that experience."

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.
