• Sunmi Opens Up About Gaining Weight and How She's Managing It After Thinking She Had a Fast Metabolism

    Sunmi, the talented singer known for her solo career, has shared a surprising confession about her body and her lifestyle during a recent appearance on a popular YouTube show.

    On December 18th, Sunmi joined TWICE's Tzuyu on the show My Favorite Camping, which aired on the YouTube channel Studio 특. Tzuyu couldn't hide her excitement about meeting her favorite older sister, and the two stars shared a heartwarming moment on screen.

    When Tzuyu was asked about her favorite older sister, she admitted that while she had always admired Jeongyeon, it was actually Sunmi who was her bigger role model.

    "The group I learned about before coming to Korea was Wonder Girls. I was 13 years old", Tzuyu said, revealing that she was a fan of Sunmi’s former group. Sunmi was touched by this, thanking Tzuyu for her kind words.

    "When I debuted as a solo artist, Tzuyu said I was her role model, and that article got a lot of attention. I thought, ‘The Once (TWICE's fan club) will recognize me, maybe I can aim for a global career'", Sunmi shared, expressing her gratitude.

    The conversation soon turned to their personal lives, where Sunmi revealed that she’s more of a homebody than people might think.

    "I don’t go outside because I don’t have any plans. I think I’ve only had three plans this year, and one of them was with Tzuyu", Sunmi said, adding that the other plans were with Sohee and PD Park Jin Young. She laughed, "Thank you for taking me outside."

    Sunmi also opened up about her love for food, but admitted that she has been struggling to manage her weight. "I really like food too. But now I have to manage it," she said.

    "I used to think I had a fast metabolism, but I’ve gained weight." Sunmi confessed that when she gains weight, it tends to show in her upper body, and since her job requires her to be in front of the camera, it can be a concern. "If I gain weight in my face, it doesn’t look good on camera", she explained.

    In a previous appearance on a variety show, Sunmi revealed that she gained 9 kg (about 20 lbs) during her "Main Character" promotions after experiencing a lot of stress. At one point, she even reached a weight of 50 kg (about 110 lbs), which she said made her feel like she was "going to die from stress."

    Despite the challenges, Sunmi remains determined to manage her health while continuing her successful career.

    Her honesty about body image and stress is sure to resonate with many fans, showing that even celebrities face struggles just like anyone else.

  • 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.
