• NewJeans Hanni Riding the Wave with 'Blue Coral', Becomes a Hot Keyword even at Karaoke Rooms

    Group NewJeans is making waves even in karaoke rooms.

    On the 16th, Golden Entertainment reported that NewJeans has successfully debuted in Japan, becoming a popular choice at Golden Karaoke Rooms.

    NewJeans' recent performance at their Japan fan meeting (Bunnies Camp 2024 Tokyo Dome) created a buzz, making a significant impact in karaoke venues.

    During the Tokyo Dome concert in June, Hanni of NewJeans performed Matsuda Seiko's 1980s Japanese classic 'Blue Coral'. Following this, the song skyrocketed to first place on the Golden Karaoke chart in Japan.

    The instrumental video of the performance on Golden Karaoke's official YouTube channel also topped the real-time views, highlighting NewJeans' immense popularity.

    The group has garnered extensive attention in Korea and Japan, with Japanese newspapers featuring them prominently.

    NewJeans' debut Japanese single 'Supernatural', featuring the smooth vocals of its members in a New Jack Swing style, has captured hearts. The involvement of global pop star Pharrell Williams in the credits generated significant excitement, leading to domination of major Japanese album and music charts upon release.

    Despite being a Japanese single, 'Supernatural' has also gained substantial popularity in Korea, topping not only Golden Karaoke charts but also domestic music charts, marking a remarkable achievement.

  • 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.
