• Figure Skater Cha Jun Hwan Confesses He Ate Meat Without Salt For 6 Years As Part of His Diet

    Figure skating national team member Cha Jun Hwan unveiled his thorough dietary management.

    The 144th episode of tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" aired on March 2nd was decorated as a special feature for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

    On the same day, Cha Jun Hwan said that he must bring an energy bar everytime he goes abroad. Cha Jun Hwan said, "It's routine. I always eat energy bars during games. I eat little by little from morning to 6 o'clock. I take a bite and exercise, and when I'm hungry, I take another bite again", he explained.

    As a result, Yoo Jae Suk and Cho Se Ho were surprised. The two asked again if he eats just one (energy bar) all day, and Cha Jun Hwan said, "There are times when I can't finish (one energy bar) within a day instead eat only half of it and leave it alone", which surprised them even more. Yoo Jae Suk understood that "restraint has become a habit".

    Talking about restraint, Cha Jun Hwan express his love for chicken and his trying to control it. Cha Jun Hwan nevertheless explained, "I need to do better" about moderation of chicken, and then said, "I like chicken a lot," and his eyes lit up. Yoo Jae Suk laughed at this and said, "What's with that look?" and said "Call me" instead, shivering. A love call for chicken advertisers. Cha Jun Hwan replied, "I'm ready".

    Also, when asked if weight is not important for figure skaters, Cha Jun Hwan answered, "If you have a light body, you can jump well". Yoo Jae Suk said he had heard that he didn't even add salt to his meat. He said, "I ate without salt for 5 or 6 years, but what I hear is that I'm an athlete, so I sweat a lot, so I need salt, so I sprinkle a little bit of salt".

  • BTS's V Causes MASSIVE Crowd Chaos in Indonesia - Fans Flock to SimInvest Event for Exclusive V Merch

    BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

    In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

    For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

    To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

    V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

    This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

    It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
