"Burning Ember (Please Stay)" captures the feeling of longing for a loved one and the uncertainty of whether to love again, much like a 'burning ember.' The song has a beautiful band sound that highlights the group's emotional depth.

Lee Min Hyuk and Lim Hyun Sik played a big role in writing and composing the song, while Peniel contributed his rap skills, perfectly showcasing BTOB's unique musical style and heartfelt emotions. The lyrics, "Even when soaked in sadness, it doesn’t extinguish; my ember is still alive," reflect BTOB's intent to create a ballad that shines brighter through overcoming sadness.

The BECOMING PROJECT marks the first collaboration among BTOB members under BTOB Company, with 'BECOMING' cleverly representing the group's name. It symbolizes how each piece of the project comes together to create a complete album.

This project also shows that the members, who have shared their individual talents through solo and unit activities, will continue to convey BTOB's special emotional vibe. After "Burning Ember (Please Stay)," fans can look forward to more digital singles in November and December, with a final album set to be released in 2025, wrapping up the BECOMING PROJECT.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
