The duo is set to remake EXO’s classic track Baby Don’t Cry in Chinese as part of the popular Starnation project on Douyin, which has got fans buzzing with excitement.

The Starnation project, which started in 2018, is a major platform for music collaborations, bringing together big-name artists for unique projects. Chanyeol, known as a representative K-pop star, and Ou Yang Nana, dubbed the "cello fairy," were both enthusiastically invited to participate, making this collaboration extra special.

The Chinese version of Baby Don’t Cry, which originally appeared on EXO's 2013 album, is set to drop on December 15 at 1 AM KST across various music platforms. Fans can also expect exciting short videos related to the track to be released on Chanyeol’s official Douyin account in the coming days.

This remake has been re-arranged with a deep bass and string sounds to create a rich, wintery vibe. Chanyeol’s smooth, soothing voice and Ou Yang Nana’s lively vocals blend perfectly, giving the song a fresh new energy while staying true to its emotional core.

In other news, Chanyeol is currently wrapping up his first live tour and will have shows in Hong Kong on December 21-22 and Kaohsiung on December 28. And to top it all off, he’ll be hosting his 2025 CHANYEOL LIVE TOUR: 都市風景 (City-scape) │ Epilogue in Seoul on February 15-16, 2025 at the KBS Arena.

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.
