GFRIEND (Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB, Umji) is back together, and their fans couldn’t be happier! The group surprised everyone by pre-releasing their heartfelt new song "Season of Memories" on January 6 to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

The special track, which will be part of their upcoming album, was first performed as a surprise at the 39th Golden Disc Awards. That performance has now become the most-viewed clip from the entire event, showing just how much fans still adore the group. Following the overwhelming response, GFRIEND and Source Music shared the emotional and behind-the-scenes journey of creating the song.

The six members personally took part in the making of "Season of Memories," working closely with their longtime Source Music team. They were involved in everything—from choosing the song’s themes to making key production decisions. Despite their busy lives, the members prioritized recording together, giving feedback to ensure the track captured their emotions perfectly.

In a statement through Source Music, GFRIEND shared:
"This song is our gift to Buddy (our fans). When we first heard it, we felt it truly represented who we are as a group. The lyrics tell our story, and it brought us so much joy and even tears. We hope that everyone, especially Buddy, feels the same emotions we did. We are so thankful to our staff and producers for helping us create something so special."

The producers behind the song, Noh Joo-hwan and Lee Won-jong, also opened up about the process:
"Being part of GFRIEND’s 10th-anniversary project was unlike anything else we’ve done. We wanted to make music that only GFRIEND could bring to life. It was an incredible experience, full of meaning and gratitude."

The song’s title, "Season of Memories," is deeply tied to GFRIEND’s history with their fans. It was inspired by a slogan from their first concert: "We’ll always stay with you in your warm seasons." The lyrics include references to their past songs, with lines like "As the clock’s hands divide the night" calling back to "Rough" and "Time for the Moon Night," while "Finally, we’ve found you" connects to "Crossroads."

GFRIEND’s special album, "Season of Memories," will officially drop on January 13 at 6 PM KST, and fans can’t wait to relive the magic this iconic group brings. Are you ready for the next chapter of GFRIEND’s unforgettable journey?

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.
