BLACKPINK member Rosé recently opened up about her struggles with depression and burnout during an honest conversation.

On December 5, a video with Rosé was uploaded to Daesung's YouTube channel, 'ZIP DAESUNG.' In the episode, Rosé shared her personal experiences and challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I had shingles during the pandemic," Rosé revealed, explaining, "It was because I kept thinking, 'What if no one looks for BLACKPINK anymore? What will I do with my life then?'"

Rosé added, "Since I was 16, my whole life was about becoming a singer. But at that moment, I thought, 'What if I lose my job at this age?'"

Daesung asked if the stress led to her shingles, and Rosé replied, "Yes. This is the first time I'm talking about this, but I’ve also dealt with depression. It’s like a cold for the mind," she said, drawing understanding and support from viewers.

She also reflected on her workaholic tendencies and how it impacted her mental health. "Work is my hobby. I only feel accomplished when I work. But when I take a break, I don’t want to do anything. The problem is, because I’m a workaholic, I just kept going," she said.

Rosé admitted that her non-stop work habits left her feeling drained. "I’ve been a bit burnt out. Maybe not completely, but I worked every single day. I thought it meant I was growing, but recently I realized it wasn’t like that at all. My brain just shut down."

To recover, she decided to take time for herself. "I realized if I kept going like that, I wouldn’t be able to do what I’m supposed to. Only I can take responsibility for myself, so I took a full day to rest," she explained.

Rosé shared how that break changed her perspective. "It was the first time I truly felt that way. Before, it felt like I built a cement wall around myself because there was so much to do. But after resting, I could finally focus on things I hadn’t been able to."

Fans have been praising Rosé for her bravery in opening up about such personal struggles, expressing their support and admiration for her honesty.

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.
