The catchy and playful choreography from the music video has become a hit, especially in short-form videos, drawing even more fans to the group's fresh sound and vibe.

Thanks to all these achievements, ILLIT was honored with the "Rookie of the Year" award at the 32nd HANTER Music Awards 2024 on the 16th. This is their fifth rookie award, following wins at 2024 MAMA AWARDS, MMA 2024, 39th Golden Disc Awards, and the 66th Japan Record Awards.

But ILLIT isn't stopping there! They recently released the theme song "Almond Chocolate" for the Japanese movie I Don't Like You Just By Your Face on the 14th.

The sweet melody and their bright vocals have received positive feedback, topping charts like the AWA Music Real-Time Rising Chart and ranking high on the Oricon Daily Digital Single Ranking.

With all these incredible achievements, ILLIT is definitely one of the hottest rookie groups around.

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.
