• BIGBANG's Daesung says YG and KBS issues were about choices, not conflicts

    BIGBANG's Daesung clears the air about the rumored conflicts between YG Entertainment and KBS.

    On July 26th, Daesung's YouTube channel 'ZIP Daesung' featured a video titled "18-Year Veteran Daesung Bows Down to WINNER," with guests WINNER’s Kim Jin Woo and Lee Seung Hoon.

    Daesung asked about WINNER members Song Min Ho and Kang Seung Yoon, who are currently in the military. They said, "We see them more now than when we first enlisted. We meet for meals and chats whenever they are on leave."

    Kim Jin Woo shared an update on Kang Seung Yoon, saying, "Seung Yoon seems to get leave a lot. He's doing very well in the military, so he must be earning a lot of rewards. He probably uses his leaves right away."

    Daesung asked if Seung Yoon plans activities during his leaves. The duo replied, "All the members are thinking about a full comeback."

    Daesung talked about the importance of Seung Hoon's current album, saying it could help their future activities. He also said he plans to support Seung Hoon at music shows.

    The production team joked that Daesung would be the oldest person at the shows, making Kim Jin Woo laugh and say, "Everyone will come to greet you." Seung Hoon teased, "How uncomfortable would you be?" Daesung, surprised, agreed.

    When asked about YG artists' past absence from KBS shows and the rumored conflicts, Daesung seemed genuinely surprised. Seung Hoon joked that Daesung's face might signal bad relations with KBS, to which Daesung joked about imitating singer K.Will.

    Daesung asked if WINNER had also avoided KBS. Seung Hoon said, "We followed the seniors. We wanted to appear, but couldn’t. I wanted to be on the photo line for the morning arrivals."

    Daesung replied, "You should just go," but Seung Hoon pointed out, "We need to be invited. We haven't been to KBS much during our promotions."

    Daesung clarified, "It wasn't about bad relations with anyone. It was about making choices and focusing our efforts at the time. Naturally, some may have felt neglected."

  • 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.
