• Chungha Reveals Why She Chose JYP Over YG: “They Called Me First”

    Solo artist Chungha recently shared why she chose to train with JYP over YG.

    On August 28th, Chungha appeared in a video titled "SM Audition… Now I Realize" on the YouTube channel 'Hyo Yeon's Level Up.' She joined MC Hyo Yeon and shared some interesting stories about her audition experiences.

    Chungha explained that she went to many auditions after deciding to become a singer. She said, "I auditioned for JYP, YG, and SM. All of them were public auditions. I passed at JYP and made it to the finals at YG. But just before the final at YG, I got accepted by JYP. Back then, getting accepted quickly was crucial, so I went with the place that called me first."

    Reflecting on her SM audition, Chungha recalled, "I didn’t know much about the audition process. I saw posters everywhere for 'Tell Me Your Wish' by Girls' Generation and thought they were having a concert. But it turned out to be for a public audition."

    She continued, "I went to the audition before heading back to my dorm on the weekend. I remember going in with ten people at a time. Luckily, they told me to stay. I sang and stayed. When they asked me to dance freestyle, I said, 'I don’t know how to dance.' It was my first audition experience."

    Chungha added that after the audition, she went straight back to her dorm school, submitted her phone to the dorm supervisor, and never heard back from SM, which left viewers feeling sympathetic.

  • 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.
