aespa’s Winter made her first pitch debut.

On July 25, a baseball game between the Doosan Bears and the Kiwoom Heroes took place at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. Winter from aespa was there to throw the ceremonial first pitch.

The game’s announcer said, "A goddess has arrived at Jamsil. The crowd is buzzing because she’s here," and Winter got a huge cheer when her name appeared on the scoreboard.

Wearing a Doosan Bears uniform, Winter mentioned, "I learned how to pitch from Kim Taek Yeon and Lee Byung Hun. I’ll do my best. Go Doosan Bears!" She threw a solid pitch.

Winter had shown her support for the Doosan Bears before, and many fans were excited about her first pitch. The Doosan Bears even ran a 'Winter First Pitch Campaign' during aespa’s concert at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium last month.

The team’s mascot, Cheol-ung, also made dance videos to aespa’s hits 'Supernova' and 'Armageddon,' which Winter thanked by asking fans, "It’s the first day of the first pitch campaign. Should I start practicing now?"

Winter was thrilled to be on the mound and said, "I’m really happy to pitch at Jamsil Baseball Stadium as a big Doosan Bears fan." She also cheered for the Bears from the stands.

Earlier in June, aespa’s Karina threw the first pitch at a game in Busan, which also drew a lot of attention. The excitement for aespa members’ first pitches shows just how popular they are.

aespa will continue their '2024 aespa LIVE TOUR - SYNK: PARALLEL LINE -' in Osaka on July 27-28 and Fukuoka on July 30-31.

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.
