Dex Remembers the Death of His Grandfather: “My grandfather recently died His hands were like your father's”
Dex was reminded of his late grandfather when he met Georgia’s father, Lati.
On the September 6 episode of JTBC’s ‘My Name is Gabriel,’ Dex spent 72 hours living as Lati, a young man from rural Georgia.
As Dex arrived in a quiet Georgian village to start his 72-hour stay as Lati, he found himself surrounded by Lati’s family, including his parents, wife, and two children.
He enjoyed traditional Georgian meals, including chacha (local liquor) and home-cooked dishes, with his new family.
While drinking chacha and feeling a bit tipsy, Dex showed off his muscles. Lati’s father playfully suggested an arm-wrestling match.
During their chat, Dex shared, “My grandfather recently passed away. When I touched your father’s hands, they felt just like my grandfather’s,” adding, “My grandfather was also a farmer, so it brought back a lot of memories.”
Dex described the texture of Lati’s father’s hands as “thick and rough,” which made him feel nostalgic. He then hugged Lati’s father and showed his playful side.
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.
