AKMU’s Lee Chan Hyuk and former fromis_9 member Saerom have broken up after a year-long relationship.

Sources close to the couple revealed on January 21 that the two ended their relationship last year. The pair first sparked dating rumors in October 2022 after they were spotted on dates in public and shared photos from the same location on social media.

At the time, Lee Chan Hyuk's agency, YG Entertainment, responded by saying, “It’s difficult to confirm due to the artist’s private matters,” while Saerom’s agency, Pledis Entertainment, kept quiet. Both agencies’ lack of comment led fans to believe the rumors were true.

Despite the speculation, the couple continued to meet after the rumors surfaced but decided to go their separate ways last year. Since they never publicly confirmed their relationship, it's been hard to get any official statement about their breakup.

Lee Chan Hyuk gained fame as part of the sibling duo AKMU alongside his sister Lee Suhyun, making his debut in 2014 after appearing on SBS's K-pop Star 2. He released his first solo album, ERROR, in 2022 and continued to make waves in the music world.

Saerom, who debuted in 2017 as a member of fromis_9 after being selected on Mnet’s Idol School, actively participated in the group’s activities.

However, fromis_9’s contract with Pledis Entertainment expired in December 2024, and Saerom left the agency.

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.
