• Lee Jae Wook Plans to Enlist Next Year: "I'll Stay Active Until Then"

    Lee Jae Wook recently shared his plans for military enlistment.

    During the August 30th episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘The Seasons - Zico’s The Artist,’ Lee Jae Wook appeared as a guest.

    Introducing him, Zico said, "I fell for him at first sight and personally invited him." Lee Jae Wook admitted, "I’m really nervous. Even now, I’m very anxious. I should be enjoying the music backstage, but I ended up reflecting on myself."

    Zico added, "I met Jae Wook in private, and he was so tall and handsome. He was humming, and he sang well too. I cast him on the spot." Lee Jae Wook explained, "I still remember it. He ran up to me and asked if I could appear on ‘The Seasons.’ When I said I had nothing to promote, he just told me to trust him and come on."

    Zico appreciated his quick decision, saying, "Usually, when someone hears that, they say, 'I’ll think about it,' but he immediately said, 'Yes, I’ll do it.' I was really happy."

    Oh My Girl’s Arin, who also appeared on the show, had starred with Lee Jae Wook in the drama 'Alchemy of Souls.'

    Lee Jae Wook mentioned, "I greeted Arin in the waiting room, but I couldn’t recognize her. She looked really tall. I felt like I should call her 'senior.'"

    Zico then brought up, "I heard you were in a hip-hop club in high school." Lee Jae Wook laughed and responded, "Back then, 'Show Me the Money' was huge. Just listening to the music brought out the groove in me, and it made me mad, you know? I rapped about haters, even though I was a high school student and didn’t really know about anti-fans.

    Our club was called MIC. Back then, I thought it was so cool, but now, talking about it is a bit embarrassing." He also shared that he had a draft song called 'Gang,' adding, "High school songs weren’t about love. It was all about gangs and hip-hop."

    Finally, Lee Jae Wook revealed, "Actually, I don’t have much time left before I enlist. I’m planning to enlist next year, so I’m trying to stay as active as possible before I go."

  • 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.
