Former FIFTY FIFTY members are making a fresh start under the new group ABLUME, and they’ve chosen a familiar face to guide their debut—producer Ahn Sung Il.

On February 26th, their new agency, MASSIVE E&C, told OSEN, “While discussing ABLUME’s future, the members personally requested Ahn Sung Il as their producer. We reached out to him, and he agreed, so they are now working together.”

ABLUME consists of Sio, Saena, and Aran, who were originally part of FIFTY FIFTY before their sudden legal battle with their former agency, ATTRAKT.

The group stopped activities just six months after debuting, filing for an injunction to terminate their contracts.

Meanwhile, their former member Keena withdrew her appeal and returned to ATTRAKT, but the other three members continued fighting their case.

Following this, ATTRAKT officially terminated their contracts and even filed a lawsuit against Ahn Sung Il, the CEO of The Givers, who had been involved in FIFTY FIFTY’s music production.

Despite the controversy, Sio, Saena, and Aran moved forward, signing with MASSIVE E&C and announcing their re-debut as ABLUME.

Now, the trio is set to make their comeback in the first half of this year, once again teaming up with Ahn Sung Il to produce their debut album.

Fans are curious to see what kind of music they will bring this time 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.
