• aespa's Karina and Byeon Woo Seok Stuck in Cars as Prada Event was Canceled Due to Safety Concerns

    The Prada event planned for October 24 was canceled due to a large crowd gathering, following a request from the Seongdong District Office. On the 25th, Seongdong District Chief Jeong Won-oh explained, “Since 7 PM on the 24th, our officials and the police have been monitoring the area. However, safety concerns due to crowd density increased. We decided we could not continue with the event and asked the organizers to end it voluntarily.”

    He added, “The event was held near a city bus garage, which causes heavy traffic during rush hours. After discussions with the police and other officials, we requested the brand to cancel the event. Thankfully, they agreed quickly, and no one was injured.”

    The event was meant to celebrate “Prada: The Sound of Prada” in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong District. Many celebrities were expected to attend, including Jeon Somi, TWICE’s Sana, aespa’s Karina, Kim Tae Ri, NCT 127’s Jaehyun, ENHYPEN members (Jungwon, Heeseung, Sunghoon, Sunwoo, and Niki), Byeon Woo Seok, and more.

    However, videos from fans at the scene showed chaos as fans tried to catch a glimpse of the stars, creating a messy situation with cars returning home. Security and police struggled to manage the crowd, leading to some vehicle collisions and city buses halting their routes.

    Reports say that some stars, including Byeon Woo Seok and Karina, were unable to leave their cars. Karina even used a fan platform to tell fans, “Don’t wait, go home.” Other stars waiting nearby also couldn’t enter the venue.

    To prevent further crowd issues ahead of Halloween, the Seongdong District Office announced it would set up a situation room from October 25 to November 1, operating until 2 AM.

  • 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.
