BTS's V continues to dominate the hearts of fans in Japan, maintaining his spot as the most popular K-pop idol in the country.

From November 18 to November 24, V topped the "K-Pop Male Idol Ranking" on Japan's popular idol ranking site Nehan (NEHAN) with an impressive 18,862 votes. This marks a record-breaking 191 weeks at No. 1, showing that his charm remains unshaken even during his military hiatus.

V's influence extends beyond K-pop, as he also ranked No. 1 on Bihan (BIHAN) in the "Korean Male Actor Popularity Ranking" for 40 consecutive weeks. Furthermore, he has held the top position in the "20s Male Actor Ranking" for 187 weeks straight, proving his lasting appeal as an actor despite appearing in only one drama.

His acting skills have also been showcased in music videos, such as IU's Love Wins All and his own release, FRI(END)S, where his expressive and emotional performances earned high praise. Fans are now eagerly waiting for his next appearance in the music video for Winter Ahead (with Park Hyo Shin), set to release on November 29. The teaser, which features V’s breathtaking visuals and a mysterious, cinematic vibe, has already captured attention.

On other platforms, V’s popularity is unmatched. He consistently takes the top spot in K-board's polls, including the "K-Pop Idol Flower Boy Election" and "Korean Drama Male Actor Election." On KPOP JUICE, he has gathered over 5.26 million votes, keeping him firmly in first place across all categories.

Fans also have another treat to look forward to: V’s duet version of White Christmas with legendary artist Bing Crosby. Set for release on December 6, the collaboration marks Crosby’s first duet in 47 years, adding to the excitement around V's ever-expanding artistry.

Actor Jung Woo Sung is once again at the center of controversy as alleged direct messages (DMs) he sent to a non-celebrity woman have surfaced online.

On November 26, several online communities began sharing screenshots of Instagram DMs supposedly exchanged between Jung Woo Sung and a woman identified as "A."

In the messages, the individual, believed to be Jung Woo Sung, started the conversation by complimenting A’s “cool profession.” When A questioned, “You weren’t hacked, right?” the person responded, “No, I saw your feed and thought you seemed like someone who enjoys and excels in their work. I held back for a while but decided to say hello.”

As the exchange continued, the messages became more personal, with the individual sharing scenic photos and details about their daily life. After a couple of days, the individual reportedly asked, “Can I share my number with you?” and offered their contact information, suggesting they continue the conversation through text.

The alleged DMs reportedly date back to 2021 or earlier, during the filming of The Silent Sea, a Netflix original series produced by Jung Woo Sung.

This comes on the heels of recent revelations involving Moon Ga Bi, who broke her social media silence to announce her pregnancy and childbirth.

It was later revealed that Jung Woo Sung is the biological father of her child, which led to a public stir. Despite his confirmation to support the child financially, Jung Woo Sung has not expressed intentions to marry.

The controversy deepened when it was reported that Jung Woo Sung was in a long-term relationship with another non-celebrity woman, who was allegedly shocked to learn about his child with Moon Ga Bi. Additionally, affectionate sticker photos of Jung Woo Sung with yet another woman, believed to be a non-celebrity, have circulated online.

Regarding these allegations, including confirmation of his paternity, Jung Woo Sung's representatives have stated they are “unable to verify” the claims at this time.
