Is A BTS Reunion Coming? J-Hope's Outfit Has ARMY Buzzing
Eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed that J-Hope was wearing the same outfit the group once wore on their iconic Run BTS episode.
Since completing his military service, J-Hope has dived straight back into music and performances. After touring internationally with Hope On The Stage, he's now gearing up for his final concerts in Seoul this week. Recently, he gave fans a glimpse of his rehearsals through photos shared on BTS' broadcast channel. At first glance, the pictures seemed routine, but eagle-eyed ARMYs quickly noticed that J-Hope was wearing the same outfit the group once wore on their iconic Run BTS episode.
This sparked speculation and excitement, with many hoping that some BTS members might join him on stage. With most members, except Suga, nearing the end of their military service, a surprise group appearance doesn't seem entirely out of reach.
In the rehearsal photo, J-Hope is seen striking a playful pose on stage as he prepares for his final shows. What caught everyone's attention, however, was his outfit, a white T-shirt layered under a grey jacket, paired with eye-catching red pants. Fans quickly connected the look to a memorable ensemble from BTS's variety show Run BTS. This subtle nod has sparked excitement and speculation that other members might make a surprise appearance during the concert. While some ARMYs are eagerly anticipating the grand finale, many are already getting emotional as this chapter of the tour draws to a close.
In an earlier interview with Apple Music 1's The Zane Lowe Show, J-Hope, speaking about BTS's future, said, 'I think that over time, we each refined our unique identities as each of us work on their own music, come out with their solo projects and do their own thing. The funny thing for me is when our identities, which have taken shape in various ways, come together as BTS, I'm curious to see what it'll look like. We will quickly get together and talk about what BTS can do in the future. I think it's going to be a massive energy."
J-Hope is all set to perform for fans at his solo concert, Hope On The Stage, happening at Seoul's Goyang Sports Complex on 13 and 14 June. For those who can't attend in person, the concert will be streamed live on Weverse, so fans around the world can join in and watch the show from anywhere.

Popular K-pop idol reveals losing 40 kgs in five months through intense diet and weight loss injection
Super Junior's Shindong recently appeared on KBS2's talk show Problem Child in House alongside fellow band member Kyuhyun to mark the group's 20th anniversary. During the chat, Shindong opened up about his dramatic weight loss and unintentionally sparked a debate online. His mention of popular weight loss drugs left many wondering if Western influence has fully taken over South Korea. While the idol admitted the injections didn't really work for him and led to the dreaded 'yo-yo effect,' he revealed it was actually intense dieting that did the trick. He even detailed what his plate looked like on a regular day. 'I went from 116 kg to 79 kg,' Shindong said, revealing he lost nearly 40 kg in just five months. He added that dieting helped him more than exercise ever did. When asked what diet he followed, the singer explained he mostly ate ssambap—small rice balls made of brown rice, a pinch of stir-fried anchovies, and a bit of gochujang (red chilli paste), all wrapped in a leaf. According to the K-pop star, he ate at least six of those a day, and it became his go-to meal.

'The doctor told me I should feel full because it slows digestion,' he said. 'But later, he added, 'Shindong, you've beaten Wegovy!'' Despite all his efforts, Shindong admitted to facing the yo-yo effect—gaining some of the weight back after the extreme diet. Experts have long warned that drastic routines like this can often lead to rebound weight gain. During the chat, he also shared how he once spent over 14 million won (around $12,000 USD) on just one food delivery app, and that's only one out of the three he regularly uses. Problem Child In The House with #SHINDONG #KYUHYUN Please send some love on Youtube too! 🔗 @SJofficial — pau ⸝⁺✧ (@yeokxivi) June 27, 2025 While most South Korean celebs are no strangers to extreme diets, whether it's IU's one-apple-a-day routine, Ji Chang Wook's full-body transformation, Park Min Young's prep for Marry My Husband, or Lee Min Ki's physical overhaul, weight-loss injections like Wegovy and Ozempic are now gaining popularity outside of medical use. These GLP-1 drugs slow down how fast the stomach empties, resulting in the lost of appetite.. But there's still a lot of debate around them, especially when used by people who aren't clinically obese, not to mention the side effects, which remain a concern.

BTS' Jungkook has a punishing work ethic, desire to repay: Author pens ‘most painful' chapter in new book on the K-pop star
Former Vogue fashion editor Monica Kim, who closely watched the rise of the K-pop group, has been making rounds on the internet for the past few days because of her new book, 'The Meaning of Jungkook: The Triumph of BTS and the Making of a Global Pop Superstar.' Excerpts from the book, now going viral on social media, capture the journey of BTS's youngest member, Jeon Jungkook, and how he's become an unstoppable force. Kim believes the singer's charisma and popularity go beyond his label's heavy push, and that he's only getting started. In the book, Kim also breaks down a chapter where three brands were chasing him for endorsements and recalls what went down during a 2016 concert, when Jungkook, completely exhausted and gasping for air, still insisted on performing because he didn't want to let his fans down. This comes amid buzz that Jungkook might be heading out on a solo world tour soon. Also read: K-pop group once dubbed 'female BTS' hit hiatus at career peak, dragged into controversy with future uncertain 'I was in bad condition. My body felt it, my head felt it, but I performed with only one thought in my mind: I won't be able to see [these fans] for a long time,' Kim recalled Jungkook's exact words from a 2016 performance. The backstage video from that show had gone viral back then, with fans slamming the label for its gruelling work culture that left the singer physically drained and visibly unwell. 'There lies the reason behind Jungkook's punishing work ethic: his devotion to his fans and the desire to repay the love he has been given,' Kim wrote. Fans have been calling it one of the most painful chapters in the book, as it describes moments where the youngest member pushed himself way past the limit, all to give that love back in the only way he knew: hard work. 'He's said it sooo many times. In his Golden concert, in his lives. JK always credits his success to ARMY and wants to repay us. I worry he gives too much power to the ARMY and lets that dictate his choices. We don't know what he sees online. I just wish people would stop projecting their wants onto him and just appreciate his effort,' one fan commented. Another added, 'In no way should this be romanticised. It was extremely irresponsible for the staff to let him keep performing like that.' Also read: 'BTS' Suga is the Eminem of K-pop': Grammy-winning producer reveals why the West wants to work with the singer In the same book, Kim described just how lucky Calvin Klein was to bag Jungkook as the face of the brand, an association that sent sales soaring within weeks, beating records previously set by its biggest names. Kim noted that at least three major fashion houses chased after Jungkook, but he turned them all down. 'From my time consulting in the industry, I know of at least three top fashion houses that fought hard to get him but were turned away,' she wrote, calling the Euphoria crooner one of the true sold-out kings. Being the youngest in the group, the South Korean vocalist's youth pull is unreal. He joined BTS when he was just 15, and his influence goes beyond music. From what he's wearing to what he's eating—if Jungkook touches it, it's off the shelves. Kim labelled him one of the finest and most beautiful men she's ever seen. 'From all the groups and members, Jungkook is the best-looking man I've ever seen, the one who caught me completely off guard. Imperfectly perfect. '

Anshula Kapoor blamed herself for divorce of her parents Boney Kapoor and Mona Shourie: ‘The feeling became more apparent after Janhvi Kapoor was born'
Anshula Kapoor, the daughter of film producer Boney Kapoor and his first wife Mona Shourie, thought she was the reason why her parents parted ways. Anshula shared that the feelings of being a 'bad daughter' she had at age six only deepened after Boney Kapoor welcomed his first child, Janhvi Kapoor, with his second wife, actor Sridevi. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Anshula shared, 'As a 6-year-old I thought before me, their life was all hunky dory and I came to their life and suddenly they don't belong together. I thought, maybe, I was not a good enough daughter. I think that became more apparent after–and I know it sounds horrible–Jaanu (Janhvi Kapoor) was born because I was like maybe, something was wrong with me.' Anshula Kapoor clarified that both her parents explained to her that she was never the reason behind their separation, but yet it affected her. 'I do not believe that anymore. But, it was a child trying to figure out what went wrong and thinking maybe I only went wrong. You can't predict what effects someone psychologically. Especially when you are so young, how you process things are completely different.'

Watch Anshula shared that her theories could have been a result of the conversations that she overheard. She said, 'Who knows maybe I heard some conversation with some aunty or friend. I may have heard some random words from their conversation and cooked something entirely different in my head. That was one part of my trauma I had to deal with. I have addressed this with my siblings, family and parents.' Previously, talking to Hautterfly, Anshula Kapoor had shared how she had to go through public scrutiny when her parents decided to part ways. She said, 'People started to talk about my family values, my upbringing, etc. I resigned into my own shell, and was trying to figure out what this new normal was all about.' Boney Kapoor married Mona Shourie in 1983. They welcomed a son, Arjun Kapoor and a daughter, Anshula Kapoor. In 1996, the couple parted ways. In the same year, Boney Kapoor married Sridevi. In 1997, they welcomed their first child, a daughter, Janhvi Kapoor. A few years later, they welcomed their second daughter Khushi Kapoor. Anshula, who usually stays away from the limelight, recently appeared on the Amazon Prime Video show, The Traitors.
