• aespa's Winter Shares Amusement Park Adventure: “I Waited Two Hours, But No One Recognized Me!”

    aespa member Winter opened up about her trip to an amusement park for some much-needed fun while preparing for a concert.

    On November 3, Winter was a guest on the online show BDNS, where she chatted with host Moon Sang Hoon.

    When asked if she enjoys walking, Winter said, “Yes! I really love it. I get bored easily, so if I have a set route, I like to explore side paths or try new trails.”

    During her walks, Winter often thinks about singing rather than anything else. She shared her current favorite songs, saying, “It changes with my mood, but lately, I really like ‘Baekya’ by Jit Ssenior and ‘Fairy of Shampoo’ by Wa Light and Salt.”

    Talking about her free time, Winter explained, “When I’m resting alone, I like to make plans. But I usually plan too much. My goal is to avoid over-scheduling myself.” She added, “Since I can’t relax too much in this job, going out to have fun with the members and visiting amusement parks feels like a real holiday.”

    When asked about her amusement park experience, Winter recalled, “Before the concert, practicing all the time can get stressful with everything to memorize. So, I asked one of the dancers, ‘Shall we go to the amusement park?’ We wore hats and masks on the rides, and it was really healing.”

    Moon Sang Hoon responded, “If I were in aespa, I’d feel the thrill of the rides and the excitement of whether people would recognize me.” Winter laughed, remembering, “We waited in line for over two hours, and no one recognized me at all!”

    She was also asked if aespa gathers to cheer each other on before performances like athletes. Winter replied, “Not really before recording. But just before going on stage, we shout ‘Ah~!’ and run around a bit.”

    Meanwhile, Winter and aespa recently released their fifth mini-album, Whiplash.

  • 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.
