Actor Song Kang, who recently joined the military, gave fans a glimpse into his life just before enlisting, including the emotional moment he shaved his head.

On June 12th, Namoo Actors' YouTube channel posted a video titled "Song Kang receives a birthday gift from 'Songpyeon'," showing the actor's preparations before his enlistment.

In the video, filmed before he joined the army, Song Kang celebrated with his fan club, 'Songpyeon', by making a cake and a mood lamp. He also shared updates about his life and future plans.

When asked what he's been up to at home, he said, "I've started studying English again. After I get discharged, I really want to live in Europe for a month. It's my dream."

He added, "Learning about cultural differences is exciting for me, and knowing English will help me communicate better."

This year marks the 8th anniversary of Song Kang's debut. Reflecting on his career, he said, "Now that it's been 8 years, the company feels like home."

Despite the years, his passion for acting remains strong. He admitted, "I usually lose interest in things quickly, but that never happened with acting. Acting makes me feel alive, and that's why I keep pushing forward."

Song Kang also wrote a heartfelt letter to his fans, expressing his feelings more accurately through writing.

In the letter, he said, "By the time you get this letter, I won’t be with you, but I’ll always be with Songpyeon in spirit. Time will pass, whether it feels short or long." He encouraged his fans to stay healthy and promised they would reunite with happy hearts.

The video also showed Song Kang's head-shaving process before enlisting. Heading to the salon, he shared, "I went to the gym right after waking up and then came here. This is the second time I’m shaving my head; the first was before high school. It feels nostalgic."

At the salon, Song Kang first cut his bangs short and looked at his reflection with despair, saying, "Oh! Do I look like this?" He tried taking a selfie but then decided against it, looking downhearted.

After the full shave, he seemed to find his new look awkward, constantly touching his head. However, he quickly showed determination, saying, "I'll work hard and do well. Now that my head is shaved, I feel more at ease. Take care, Songpyeon," as he bid farewell to his fans.

Song Kang officially enlisted in the Army on April 2nd.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
