• BLACKPINK's Jisoo Reflects on Her Solo Journey: "This Year Was a Turning Point, Next Year is the Starting Point"

    BLACKPINK member and actress Jisoo has shared her excitement about her upcoming activities following her solo career launch.

    On November 18, Jisoo graced the cover of Elle magazine's December issue and opened up about her recent ventures in an interview.

    Having recently wrapped up filming for the movie Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint and the series Newtopia, Jisoo was asked if there’s a difference in responsibility between her music career and acting.

    She responded, “The energy might feel different in the moment, but both require long hours of dedication and hard work, so the weight of responsibility is the same. However, when I get a good script, I make sure to meet with the director and discuss it in detail. Since we’ll be working together for a long time, it’s important to make sure our visions align,” showcasing her professionalism.

    Reflecting on the process of music production after establishing her own agency, Jisoo shared, “There’s a lot to consider and decide on my own. It’s challenging, but enjoyable. I’ve also realized how many people are helping me along the way. That’s why I believe the meaning behind the final result will be even greater. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

    When asked about her upcoming project in 2025, Jisoo expressed her excitement: “After filming for a long time, it’s natural to become attached to the project. I really hope viewers enjoy it as much as I did while filming. Of course, I’m a bit nervous, but I’m also very excited.”

    She added, “This year has been a year of many firsts for me, and I’ve received so much support and warmth. If this year was a turning point for me, then I think next year will be the starting point for even more.” Jisoo’s future plans are certainly something fans can look forward to with anticipation.

  • 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.
