Actor Lee Yi Kyung surprised everyone with a mention of his ex-girlfriend Jeong In Sun during his acceptance speech at the 2024 SEOULCON APAN STAR AWARDS.

On December 28, the prestigious awards ceremony was held at the Art Hall 1 of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul.

Lee Yi Kyung, who gained attention for his role as a villain in Marry My Husband, took home the Outstanding Male Actor award for his outstanding performance in a mid-length drama.

When he stepped onto the stage to accept his award, Lee Yi Kyung began his speech with gratitude: "First of all, I am so thankful to the cast and crew of Marry My Husband. But the biggest thanks go to the judges who chose me out of so many outstanding candidates. I sincerely thank you."

The actor continued, "The way actors can meet other actors is through projects. There are people I’ve wanted to meet, but I couldn’t because we didn’t work together. So, I’m grateful to greet those I’ve wanted to meet. I had the chance to greet Kim Tae-ri, and she knew who I was. Thank you for that. I also want to thank the judges who brought us together."

But it was his casual mention of Jeong In Sun that grabbed attention. He said, "And I never thought I’d get to meet her, but as some of you may know, I want to sincerely thank the judges who brought me together with Jeong In Sun. Congratulations to her on winning an award as well."

Lee Yi Kyung and Jeong In Sun, who both starred in the 2018 JTBC drama Welcome to Waikiki, had previously revealed that they were dating before their breakup about a month and a half after going public with their relationship.

Lee Yi Kyung wrapped up his speech by sharing how much this award meant to him. "This award is meaningful to me because many people associate me with variety shows, but receiving an acting award for playing a villain is something special. I’m so grateful. And if anyone is wondering, 'Why is he getting this award?', it's not too late. Please watch Marry My Husband", he said with a smile.

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.
