Red Velvet's Joy recently revealed that she once struggled with body image issues and diet trends, admitting she was a "trend-following girl" in her younger years.

During the April 11th episode of MBC’s Home Alone, Joy shared a candid look at her life, from her home to her diet habits. She was joined by fellow guests Park Na Rae, Jeon Hyun Moo, Go Seung Hwan, Key, and Cocoon.

Joy started the episode by talking about her new life as a fully independent woman. "I didn’t think I deserved to join Home Alone at first because I’ve always lived with my parents or in dorms. But now I’ve been independent for six months," she shared. She then gave a glimpse of her cozy home, revealing that she personally decorated every detail. "I chose the wallpaper, the curtain color, and even the ceiling fan," she said.

Despite her cozy interior, Joy’s home had a quirky mix of things, leading to some funny moments with the guests. Park Na Rae joked, "This looks like a café," while Jeon Hyun Moo remarked, "Is this really your house?" Joy responded with a laugh, saying, "I have a lot of things, but that’s after I reduced them."

When the conversation shifted to Joy’s diet, she opened up about her current health focus. "I’m following a blood sugar diet. I drink water with lemon juice in the morning, take probiotics, omega-3, and I eat olive oil," she explained.

While eating apples and peanut butter, Joy confessed, "I’m a bit of a trend-following girl. When I get interested in something, I follow all the trends the algorithms show me."

But it wasn't just trends that Joy followed—she also shared some personal struggles. In an honest interview, Joy admitted, "I’ve always envied thin body types. If I could be born again, I would want to have a thin body." She continued, "In my 20s, I was really conscious of others’ opinions. I pushed myself too hard, like I was punishing myself. I was really harsh, and that affected my health." She explained that after changing her mindset and focusing on her health for herself, both her physical and mental well-being improved.

Joy’s honesty about her journey and her growth was both refreshing and relatable to many fans who are also navigating similar struggles.

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.
