• WINNER's Kang Seung Yoon makes fans' hearts flutter with his latest Instagram update from the military

    WINNER’s very own Kang Seung Yoon has given fans a glimpse into his life in the military.

    On May 18th, Kang Seung Yoon took to social media to share a few snaps and a post titled “A Peek into the Life of Sergeant Kang Seung Yoon.”

    The shared photos show Kang Seung Yoon in his military uniform, making memories with his fellow soldiers. He still has his youthful charm, but there’s a newfound maturity about him.

    Kang Seung Yoon also shared a video filmed at the Ministry of National Defense Public Relations. The video shows a confident Kang Seung Yoon in a shooting stance with a rifle. But the highlight was Kang Seung Yoon’s flustered reaction to a child’s unexpected question, which had fans chuckling.

    Fans were quick to shower him with praise, with comments like “Our leader is making us proud everywhere,” “Can’t wait to see you again,” and “Congrats on the early promotion to sergeant.”

    Kang Seung Yoon joined the Army as an active duty soldier on June 20 last year and is currently serving in the 6th Infantry Division.

    In December, he was honored with the Excellent Soldier Award at the 32nd Presidential Award National Classic Reading Contest and the 20th National Youth Reading Appreciation Contest, earning him the title of a special warrior.

    He also made headlines for his charitable acts during his military service, including a donation of 10 million won to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association in July last year.

  • Former BTOB Member Jung Ilhoon Shares Thoughts on Music Comeback After 5 Years

    Former BTOB member Jung Ilhoon has shared his thoughts on returning to the music scene after a five-year hiatus.

    On November 24, Jung Ilhoon announced his comeback through Instagram, revealing his new single, Lullaby.

    He expressed his gratitude, writing, “It’s been a while, but I’m happy to greet you with the single Lullaby. Thank you to the fans who supported me during this long wait, and I’m also grateful to everyone who helped me along the way.”

    He also reflected on the emotional significance of his return, saying, “This feels like a moment we both dreamed of—fans and I alike—which makes it especially meaningful. I hope you’ll continue to support me as I move forward.”

    Jung Ilhoon first debuted with BTOB in 2012 and gained recognition for his talent as a rapper and songwriter. However, in 2020, he left the group after admitting to charges of habitual marijuana use.

    Initially sentenced to two years in prison, his sentence was later reduced to a suspended sentence of three years during an appeal, allowing for his release.

    Following the incident, he publicly apologized, saying, “I deeply regret the harm I caused to society and the disappointment I brought to those who trusted me. I promise to live righteously and not bring pain to anyone again.”

    Fans are now eagerly awaiting Ilhoon’s new single, Lullaby, marking his first step back into the music world.
