The BTS golden maknae immediately stole everyone's attention with his effortlessly cool visuals, dressed in a simple but classy all-black outfit, paired with silver earrings and a matching necklace that perfectly highlighted his chic vibe.  Not only did he make social media go wild with his stunning looks and adorable expressions, but he also melted hearts by showing off his friendship with Cha Eunwoo, carrying a life-sized doll of him throughout the red carpet. Classic Jungkook energy.  Everything seemed perfect, and ARMYs were thrilled to see him at such a rare public event. But of course, the fun didn't last long. Soon after, some people started spreading false rumors that he had gotten plastic surgery because his face supposedly looked "different." Most of the hate focused on his nose. Haters said it looked "straighter" or "longe...

Since BTS's full-group return after completing their military service at the end of June this year, not a single day has passed without the media or social networks buzzing with news about them. Just a few days after their reunion, the group made a groundbreaking announcement about their upcoming group comeback in the spring of next year through an official livestream.  The members shared, "We're planning to release a group album next spring. Since it's a group album, it'll contain everyone's thoughts... We're also preparing for a world tour — please look forward to it, because we'll be meeting everyone all around the world." Following that announcement, numerous leaks and reports about their schedule began circulating in recent months. One of the clearest hints came directly from RM during his birthday live stream in early September, where he stated: "We will have concerts. We're already having concert-related meetings because next year...

  For longtime fans who have followed V for years, it's well known that besides his parents, his grandparents had the greatest influence on him during his childhood. They were the ones who took care of V and his two younger siblings in place of their parents so that his mom and dad could focus in working hard to provide the family with a better life.  Even when V was given the opportunity to audition for Big Hit Entertainment (now Big Hit Music), it was actually his grandmother who called his parents to let them know and encouraged him to pursue his dream of becoming an idol. In return, V never let her down — he went on to become a global K-pop superstar, achieving phenomenal success. Surely, his grandmother in heaven must be incredibly the man he's become today.  There's also another touching story about V's grandmother that not many people know — one that has to do with her wish for him when he first entered the entertainment industry.  At one point, V mentioned th...

  As Source Music previously announced, Le Sserafim's comeback single, "Spaghetti," was released at 1 p.m. on October 24. The release has drawn significantly attention from both ARMY and the wider music industry, thanks to the participation of J-Hope. The title track, "Spaghetti," combines Le Sserafim's raw, powerful vocals — showcasing a new side of the group — with J-Hope's distinctive rap style, resulting in a sonically captivating experience. Speaking about the song, the group shared, "There are foods you might dislike at first, but the more you eat them, the harder are to resist. At some point, you start to wonder whether you actually like tihem — and then you realize you're addicted. 'Spaghetti' captures that same thrilling and addictive feeling, just like the irresistible charm of Le Sserafim. We hope everyone falls our 'spaghetti-like allure!' "   In the same interview, the members also opened up for the first time a...

    The connection between sports and K-pop has existed for many years. Numerous major and minor sporting events in South Korea and abroad have featured K-pop idols — particularly baseball games, where idol singers often perform. Artists such as EXO and CL even took the stage at the Closing Ceremony of the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. Still, this connection had always remained somewhat abstract. That's why, when Jungkook was announced as the artist chosen to perform the official theme song for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and to appear at the opening ceremony, many football fans were initially skeptical about the idol's abilities. However, all negative preconceptions disappeared the moment "Dreamers" aired and Jungkook stepped onto the Al Bayt Stadium stage in front of hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide. Following his debut solo performance of "Dreamers" at the world's biggest sporting event, social media was flooded with praise, admiration,...

          Since BTS's comeback, the members have increasingly become targets of anonymous online rumors, as well as serious threats to their privacy and even their safety. What's more concerning is that those threats don't only come from antis or haters but also from individuals who claim to be fans, yet behave like obsessive, invasive sasaengs.   At a time when the fandom was joyfully celebrating Jimin and Jungkook's military discharge on June 11, a so-called "fan" from China decided to book a flight to Korea and went straight to Jungkook's residence in Itaewon, carrying her suitcase and claiming she wanted to"give him a surprise celebration in her own way."   Identified as "A," the woman reportedly attempted to enter Jungkook's villa by repeatedly pressing the door's passcode despite warnings from local residents. It wasn't until the police were called to the scene that her alarming behaviour was finally spotted.          ...
