• LE SSERAFIM's Hong Eunchae Faces Hyperventilation During Rehearsal: "I Had to Do It No Matter What"

    Hong Eunchae from LE SSERAFIM (Kim Chae Won, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, Hong Eunchae) had a tough time during comeback rehearsals, leaving fans worried. On the 29th, the YouTube channel 'HYBE LABELS' released the first episode of LE SSERAFIM's documentary 'LE SSERAFIM - Make It Look Easy.'

    The documentary starts with the members watching their rehearsal video with their performance director after their end-of-year stage in 2022. Leader Kim Chae Won was nervous, saying, "I hope we do well, please." The director encouraged them to have fun on stage.

    In interviews, all the members shared their hopes to perform well. Sakura said, "I want to hear that we're doing well." Huh Yunjin admitted, "I want to do well in everything. My ambition is too high." Kazuha showed her passion, saying, "I feel a responsibility to do well," while Hong Eunchae confessed her worries, "I want to do better, but I often wonder, 'Is this the limit?'"

    The documentary also showed Hong Eun-chae becoming the youngest MC for KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank.' After her interview, she said, "They said I did well. I wasn't nervous, and the response was good." But she also felt anxious, saying, "If I had to choose between getting selected or not, I really don't know. I think I did well. I said I want to be busy every Friday. I can't fail after saying, 'See you on Friday.'"

    In the documentary, Hong Eunchae is seen experiencing hyperventilation during rehearsal on May 1st, before the media showcase for LE SSERAFIM's first full-length album 'UNFORGIVEN.' The production team gave her an oxygen mask and told her to breathe calmly while the members checked on her.

    The performance director explained, "This happens sometimes. During practice, she gets short of breath and experiences something similar to hyperventilation. It's not serious, but it can happen."

    After calming down, Hong Eunchae finished the performance. She said, "I only thought that I had to do it no matter what."

    Huh Yunjin understood the situation, saying, "Eunchae didn't want that to happen. We all worked hard, and it must have been frustrating for her body not to keep up. I also worried if we were pushing too hard."

    Four months before their debut, Sakura also experienced similar symptoms during practice but returned to the practice room, saying, "I feel more anxious being away from here."

    In an interview, Sakura explained, "I'm afraid of stopping. You don't know how many times in life you'll get the chance to run. We need to keep showing something new and telling our story." She added, "I want us to be remembered as a truly amazing team, both in terms of records and performance."

    Kim Chaewon also shared her thoughts, saying, "It's not the right time to say that 'This group (LE SSERAFIM) is the best.' But in the future, I want us to be a truly successful group, known for the best performances and unique stories."

  • 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.
