Former AOA member Jimin is officially making her return, but not as a singer. This time, she’s stepping into the world of YouTube, and fans are buzzing with excitement—and curiosity.

On January 5, Jimin took to her social media to announce a special event for her birthday, January 8. She invited fans to a birthday café meet-up in Seoul, writing, "I know these are heavy times, so I’ve been cautious. But I want to give back the love I’ve received. "

She added, "Instead of a big birthday party, I decided on a café event to bring comfort to one another during these tough times." Her post also included the heartfelt phrase, "Yes, I want to meet you…"

Adding to the surprise, Jimin shared plans to launch her own YouTube channel in 2025, marking her transformation into a content creator. While the exact date for her first video hasn’t been revealed, fans are eager to see what’s next for her.

Jimin’s return comes after a rocky exit from the spotlight. In 2020, she left AOA and announced her retirement following serious bullying allegations from former member Kwon Mina.

After staying away for two years, Jimin signed with a new agency and briefly appeared on JTBC’s The Second World. However, her activities have been minimal until now.

As Jimin reconnects with fans and takes steps to resume her career, attention has turned to Kwon Mina, who has a history of publicly addressing Jimin’s actions. Mina accused Jimin of bullying her for a decade, claims that initially gained her widespread support.

But public opinion shifted over time, as Mina became embroiled in controversies, including alleged two-timing, mistreatment of staff, and other scandals. Many grew tired of Mina’s repeated mentions of Jimin, leading to a promise from Mina last year that she would no longer bring her up.

Interestingly, Mina has also transitioned to online platforms, becoming a YouTuber and Afreeca BJ. With Jimin’s return now official, fans are speculating: will Mina stay true to her promise, or will she respond to Jimin’s new chapter?

Jimin’s YouTube comeback has sparked hope among fans who missed her, while others are keeping a close eye on any developments between the two former bandmates. Only time will tell how this unfolds.

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.
