BTS' J-Hope to perform at PSY's SUMMER SWAG after G-Dragon and BLACKPINK's Rosé? Fans reveal secret
A set of photos, that seems to have been taken secretly from outside the venue, the BTS member can be seen passionately singing along to his Outro : Ego track, which was a part of his 2020 album Map of the Soul: 7. The lyrics of the song talk about his passion and the difficulties his team had to face while on their path to the top of the game. Dressed in a comfortable black shirt over a white T-shirt and red track pants combo, his hair was tied as he rapped along to passionate words.
J-Hope is expected to perform one of his three post-military singles, Sweet Dreams, MONA LISA, or Killin' It Girl, alongside Outro : Ego.
Last weekend, both days of the concerts on June 28 and 29, had special guests in the form of BLACKPINK's Rosé, who sang along to her global hit wonder APT, and BIGBANG's G-Dragon. With the second weekend showing J-Hope as a strong candidate for a feature, this year's PSY's SUMMER SWAG has seemingly not left any stone unturned for a star-studded lineup.
Previously, SUGA performed his and PSY's collaboration track That That for a shocking pre-military appearance, which left the audience's mouths agape. The video went viral over attendees' reactions and the BTS member's marvellous one-shot performance. The Gangnam Style star has always expressed his support for the septet, especially for the Haegeum singer, who faced backlash from people after his electric scooter DUI scandal.
J-Hope at Lollapalooza
Marking his second appearance at the revered music festival, J-Hope will headline Lollapalooza Berlin during the July 12-13 weekend. A K-pop girl group is all set to return for their own debut performance during this year's events. Other performers include Justin Timberlake, Gracie Abrams, Raye, Benson Boone, Armin van Buuren, and more. The BTS member's set will be from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM (local time) on Sunday, July 13. He recently wrapped up his HOPE ON THE STAGE solo tour with encore concerts in Goyang.

Apple Music's Top 500 songs of the decade full list: BTS, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Drake and more
Apple Music has released its most-streamed songs of the decade list. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the global streaming platform, the list was rolled out in batches this week, counting down the most-played tracks. With a sensational breakout that became a household name even in non-English-speaking countries, Ed Sheeran's Shape of You sits right at the top. The song spent over 1,000 days ranked number one on the platform, dominating the all-genre Top Songs chart in at least one country. It still holds the record for the biggest first-day pop debut in Apple Music's global streaming history. And at number two is The Weeknd's Blinding Lights, which stayed in the top tier of the Global Daily Top 100 for over 180 days. The Weeknd also dominates the R&B category on the list, with a total of nine entries. Drake's track God's Plan from his album Scorpion sits at number 3 and has become the most-streamed hip-hop song in Apple's history. But the Canadian rapper has one more feather to add—he has 27 songs in total on the list, the most by any artist. Post Malone grabs both No. 4 and No. 5 spots with Sunflower (with Swae Lee) from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Rockstar featuring 21 Savage. The rest of the top 10 includes Drake's One Dance (ft. Wizkid and Kyla), Travis Scott's Sicko Mode, Ed Sheeran's Perfect, Chris Brown's No Guidance, and Billie Eilish's Bad Guy. Also read: Indian singer with 150 million Spotify followers beats Taylor Swift, BTS to become most-followed artist globally K-pop boy band BTS scored two spots, Dynamite at No. 34 and Butter at 252. Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You lands at No. 100, making it the only holiday song on the list. Multiple Taylor Swift songs like Blank Space and Cruel Summer also made it, with 14 tracks total, second only to Drake. Lil Nas X's Old Town Road lands at No. 60 and is the highest-ranked country music entry. Billie Eilish has the most alternative tracks on the list, with nine songs featured.

Who is Jo Yu-ri, Squid Game's player 222? Net worth, educational qualification, and more
When Jo Yu-ri first appeared on television, it wasn't in a drama or a film. It was on a talent survival show. She was young, maybe a bit unsure, but her voice carried something clear. Now, years later, she's appeared in one of the most globally talked-about dramas: Squid Game, and her performance has left people stunned. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Jo played Player 222, a pregnant woman named Kim Jun-hee. In the deadly world of the show, her character felt fragile at first. But as the story unfolded, she became one of the strongest presences on screen. There wasn't anything loud or over-the-top about the role; it was quiet, emotional, and incredibly human. A different kind of fame Born in Busan in 2001, Jo didn't grow up on film sets. She came from the competitive world of K-pop. In 2018, she was chosen to debut in IZ*ONE after placing third on the show Produce 48. That group became huge almost overnight. Concerts, albums, fan meets it was all a blur. But in 2021, IZ*ONE ended, and the members went their own ways. Some idols disappear after that kind of group disbandment. Jo didn't. She released her first solo song, Glassy, not long after. It was a bright, hopeful track, a contrast to what she'd go on to do in Squid Game. Acting with no formal training One thing that surprised people: Jo isn't a trained actor. She didn't go to a film school. She wasn't in musicals or student plays. Her experience was mostly music videos, stage shows, and reality content. So when fans saw her in such an emotionally heavy role, they were taken aback in a good way. In an interview with People, Jo said she cried for a long time after filming her final scene. It had taken a toll on her. That moment in the show, when her character gives up her life to save her newborn, isn't easy to forget. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Viewers around the world said it was one of the most devastating scenes in the entire series. What she earns, and what's next? Jo Yu-ri hasn't publicly shared what she earns, and there's no official number. Still, given her years in IZ*ONE, her solo work, and her recent drama success, many believe she's earned somewhere around $1–3 million. That includes music sales, digital streams, endorsements, and now, acting contracts. She's also signed to various brand deals in fashion and beauty. Her image is clean, warm, and quietly confident, making her a natural fit for that world. This year, she's expected to release another solo album called Episode 25. From what's been hinted at in interviews, the tone may be deeper, maybe even a little darker. Understandably so, after a project like Squid Game. She didn't just show up in Squid Game; she left an impact. The kind that gets people to ask, 'Who is she?' and then go looking for her past work. Jo Yu-ri might've started out as a singer. But now, she's something more.

‘BLACKPINK's new track is so bad, it's hilarious': Fans slam JUMP as a ‘B-class' song at DEADLINE tour debut
BLACKPINK kicked off their highly awaited DEADLINE tour on July 5. The YG Entertainment girl group, who ended their individual contracts with the agency last year to focus on solo careers, reunited after two long years since their commercially successful BORN PINK world tour. However, their new single JUMP, which dropped during the tour's first stop in Seoul, left many fans underwhelmed. While international fans seem excited about the track's upbeat energy and rock fusion, Korean netizens were visibly disappointed and even shocked, saying the song has 'no BLACKPINK appeal' and labelling it a 'B-track.' Also read: BTS' V says he 'passed out after drinks' reveals post-military restlessness; steps out in style the next morning During their solo run, all four members — Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé — dropped successful albums and even launched their own labels. But the hype around their full-group comeback was on a different level. Ahead of the song release, YG only dropped a tiny 17-second teaser on social media. The clip was fast-paced, a bass-heavy beat building up, and ended with a mysterious voice saying, 'Jump.' The teaser barely gave anything away, but fans were already expecting another 'BLACKPINK in your area'-style anthem. Rosé even acknowledged the comeback on Instagram, writing, 'Blinks, we're coming back tomorrow.' The excitement around the track had been building for weeks, BLACKPINK had even posted a Seoul city map on their website with tags like 'Do Not Jump,' and fans instantly sensed something was coming. [FULL] #BLACKPINK 'JUMP' will be released NEXT WEEK! WELCOME TO DEADLINE TOUR#DEADLINE_IN_GOYANGDay1#BLACKPINK_DEADLINE — BLACKPINK BLINK UNION 💕 (@BBU_BLACKPINK) July 5, 2025 But once the group actually performed Jump live on stage at the Goyang Sports Complex, the internet went quiet, and not everyone was thrilled. Clips from the concert spread fast. On Korean forum TheQoo, one post slamming the song hit the HOT page and racked up over 1,000 comments. Many K-netiznes felt, the song didn't live up to the BLACKPINK standard. Some called it 'a B-class track,' others said 'it's so bad it's hilarious.' A few questioned why this was the song they came back with after such a long break. 'Wow… so this is the kind of song they get after not renewing their contracts,' one commented. Also read: K-pop group once dubbed 'female BTS' hit hiatus at career peak, dragged into controversy with future uncertain While the criticism was mostly directed towards the label, many international fans came to the defense on Twitter, saying it is one of the best energetic and youthful songs they've come across in a while. Even on YouTube, BLACKPINK's subscribers increased dramatically, close to 97 million followers already. It's worth noting: the studio version of the song isn't out yet, so opinions might shift once the official audio drops. For the unversed, the DEADLINE tour spans 31 shows across 16 cities. BLINKs in LA, New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Bangkok can look forward to new unreleased songs. According to the agency, the Seoul opening shows are much bigger in scale compared to BLACKPINK's Born Pink tour. They've also added a campaign against scalped tickets in partnership with the Korea Popular Music Performance Industry Association. 'JUMP' is BLACKPINK's first official release (aside from the 2023 game OST The Girls) since Born Pink in September 2022.
