Rookie group ILLIT (Yoona, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) has released new concept photos that are full of youthful charm, exciting fans worldwide. On the 1st (KST), ILLIT’s agency, Belift Lab, shared the "TO" version concept photos and film for their upcoming mini 2nd album I'LL LIKE YOU, set to drop on the 21st. The "TO" version gives off a dreamy vibe, expressing the feeling of wanting to be with someone, even in dreams.

In the "TO" version, the members show off a lovable and youthful image, wearing different styles of school uniforms like cardigans and hooded zip-ups.

Each member displays her own unique charm in these looks. The setting includes heart-shaped balloons floating outside a familiar subway station, giving off a slightly surreal and mysterious atmosphere. The girls are seen resting on each other while sleeping or gazing at the sky from a window, bringing a mix of bright yet sentimental feelings.

The concept film that was released alongside the photos also highlights ILLIT’s playful and quirky side. In the video, Iroha falls asleep on the subway and ends up in a mysterious box where she reunites with the other members. Together, they go to school, run around, listen to music, and take photos in a photo booth, showcasing the bond of teenage friends. With dreamy visuals that mix reality and fantasy, the film has received lots of love from fans all over the world. Compared to the mischievous vibe of the "WITH" version that was shared earlier, this new content has fans even more excited for the upcoming album.

Meanwhile, ILLIT’s debut track "Magnetic" continues to stay strong on the charts. According to Billboard’s latest rankings (October 5), the song from their first mini-album SUPER REAL ME is still holding its place, ranking 88th on the 'Global Excl. U.S.' chart and 166th on the 'Global 200' chart. "Magnetic" first entered these charts on April 6 and has stayed there for 27 weeks, proving ILLIT’s growing presence in the music scene.

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.
