Judo star Huh Mimi says she wants to meet actor Nam Joo Hyuk
Huh Mimi, a judo silver medalist and descendant of independence activists, has shared her wish to meet actor Nam Joo Hyuk.
At the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, Huh Mimi (21, Gyeongbuk Sports Council) competed in the women's 57kg final.
Despite her strong effort, she lost to world-ranked number 1 Christa Deguchi (Canada) and secured a silver medal.
Huh Mimi, along with other Korean judokas, won the mixed team bronze medal match against Germany, making her a double medalist at the event.
Born in 2002, Huh Mimi is a descendant of independence activist Heo Seok. She chose to renounce her Japanese nationality in 2021 to represent South Korea.
Huh Mimi's favorite actor is Nam Joo Hyuk. After her match, she expressed her wish to meet him, saying, "It would be nice to meet him."
In a past interview, she mentioned that watching Nam Joo Hyuk's dramas is her hobby. She also shared her dream of winning a gold medal and going on a one-day date with him.
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.
