MAMAMOO’s Wheein opened up about the ups and downs of being a free agent.

On the February 14 episode of KBS2’s The Seasons – Lee Young Ji’s Rainbow, Wheein appeared as a guest and shared her honest thoughts on going solo after parting ways with her former agency.

She revealed, "Now that I’m a free agent, I feel like a free spirit. Thankfully, many companies have reached out to me, but I want to take my time and make the right choice."

Wheein then spoke about the biggest pros and cons of her new career path. "The best part? The money! Since all the earnings come straight to me, that’s a huge plus."

But she admitted that being independent isn’t always easy. "The hard part is that I have to handle everything myself. Even small things, like renting a car, aren’t as convenient anymore."

When asked what she’s looking for in a new agency, she explained, "I want a company that respects me and understands work-life balance. I love making music, but proper rest is just as important. Before, I didn’t have much time to rest, so I really value that now."

Wheein also made a confident pitch to potential agencies, saying, "I can do all genres. I don’t limit myself—I have a unique voice, I specialize in R&B, I even rap sometimes, and I perform a lot of band music too."

With a shy smile, she added, "I take good care of my staff and value personal connections. I’ve been working with the same people for 8 to 10 years, and they appreciate that about me."

Fans are excited to see where Wheein will go next and what new music she’ll bring in the future!

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.
