SHINee's Key is celebrating a major victory after passing the practical exam for his Western-style culinary arts certification!

On the December 27 episode of MBC’s Home Alone (episode 576), Key shared the exciting news that he successfully passed the tough practical exam, and his hard work has clearly paid off.

The other cast members, including Park Na Rae, were quick to congratulate him. “I heard the great news, Key! You passed the Western-style culinary skills certification exam! That’s incredible!” she said.

This achievement is especially sweet for Key since he had previously failed the exam after an unfortunate incident where he burned a pot, causing his score to be ungradable. Key explained, “As soon as the results came out, I signed up for a re-test, went in, and got my results this time.”

When asked about his score, Key proudly announced, “I got 76 points, and for omelette and hygiene, I ranked in the top 0%!” The other cast members were impressed, cheering him on by saying, “So you’re number one!”

It’s clear that Key’s dedication and determination have paid off, and now he’s officially a certified culinary expert in the making!

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.
