GOT7 member Jay B has shared how he lost 14kg in preparation for his solo comeback.

On November 27th, Jay B held a media showcase at YES24 Live Hall in Seoul to celebrate the release of his first solo studio album, Archive 1: 'Road Runner'.

During the event, he opened up about his weight loss journey and how he got in shape for his new music.

Jay B explained, "I focused a lot on visuals while preparing for this album. But instead of making it obvious, I wanted to keep it simple and clean."

He added, "I gained a lot of weight during my military service, but I lost 14kg. This is probably the lowest weight I've been at while promoting, so I think I did a good job."

He also revealed, "I worked out a lot. I ran, did weight training, and as a hobby, I've been learning martial arts."

However, Jay B admitted that the toughest part of the process was controlling his diet. "The biggest challenge for me was managing my food intake. I almost completely cut out carbs," he shared.

Jay B’s solo debut album, Archive 1: 'Road Runner', was released on November 27th at 6 PM. Fans are excited to see his new music and look after his transformation!

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
