The live session was full of cute, funny, and musical moments that fans loved.
BTS' Jungkook's heartfelt livestream
BTS' Jungkook recently surprised fans with a fun and heartfelt livestream on Weverse and unlike his usual video lives, this one started off as an audio-only session. Jungkook came online to show his new setup, which included a gaming laptop, microphone, and headphones. He shared that he bought them to keep himself entertained, but instead of using them for gaming, he ended up chatting and singing for fans.
It quickly turned into an enjoyable session where ARMY got to hear him talk about his thoughts, his favourite music, and even sing live.
Jungkook opened up about ageing
One of the main highlights was Jungkook talking about age. He revealed that he's close to turning 30 according to the Korean age system and admitted he doesn't want the year to end because that means he'll be older. Even though he is still the youngest member of BTS (also known as the golden maknae), the thought of turning 30 made him feel a bit emotional.

Fans, in a playful mood, began calling him 'Uncle Jungkook' in the comments.
Surprisingly, he took it sportingly this time. In the past, he used to feel uncomfortable when fans joked about his age, but now he laughed and accepted the nickname with a smile.
He praised Justin Bieber's new album
Jungkook also spoke about his time in Los Angeles, where he's been spending his days recently. He praised Justin Bieber's new album 'Swag' and shared how much he's been enjoying it.
In fact, he even sang a few lines from Bieber's 2020 hit song 'Changes' during the live session. Fans were thrilled to hear Jungkook cover the emotional track, and many ARMYs online started hoping for a future collaboration between the two global stars.
Jungkook spoke about his fellow
BTS members
Towards the end of the live session, Jungkook spoke about his fellow BTS members. He guessed that Jimin was probably asleep since it was around 4:30 in the morning in Korea and joked about still wanting to catch him on camera one day, something he has playfully talked about before. He also mentioned that RM, SUGA, and J-Hope recently attended their stylist Kimvenchy's wedding in Seoul, where RM served as the MC, showing how BTS is still active and supportive of their close ones even during their individual schedules.

Shekhar Kapur interview: On ‘Masoom 2', censorship and AI
'Is home a memory, an emotion, or just four walls?' The quandary returned to trouble Shekhar Kapur during the COVID pandemic when the world was shutting down. The celebrated filmmaker, who describes himself as a nomad and is fondly addressed as Ibn Batuta by his close friend Shabana Azmi, found refuge in the Jones Estate of Bhimtal, which he discovered during the recce for Masoom in the early 1980s. At the serene retreat, his 'constant search for identity' began to take shape as a spiritual sequel over the next three months. A product of Partition, Kapur says the concept of home has haunted him forever. 'My parents were refugees from Lahore. When they came to Delhi, my mother wanted her own space. She would forever say 'mainu ghar chahida hai', and my doctor father would remind her that they had just lost their home.' Kapur remembers when construction started in Maharani Bagh; his mother, who had seen two massive earthquakes in her lifetime, would tell the young architect to make it earthquake-proof. 'We were perhaps the first in Delhi to have a house built on stilts. Now that my parents are gone, my sister lives there, and I wander from one city to another. The kind of calls I get, it seems the home has been reduced to a piece of real estate. I would joke that an earthquake will not shake the house, but the tremors in real estate prices just might. All this spurred me to write. After all, we are a country of migrants.' The pangs of Partition, Kapur clarifies, didn't make him bitter but rendered him forever restless. At 24, Kapur says he decided that he would not have a career. 'If the idea of a film comes in front of me, I go to the sets; if a musical excites my imagination, I take the stage. Right now, I am as excited about working on a Korean musical on the life of Beethoven with K-pop stars as working with Naseeruddin Shah and Manoj Bajpayee on Masoom-2.' Bestowed with Padma Bhushan this year, Kapur was in Delhi to hold meetings for the International Film Festival of India in his capacity as festival director. As someone who has witnessed his uncle, Dev Anand, take on Indira Gandhi during the Emergency, Kapur is in a position to reflect on the intermingling of cinema and politics. 'I was around when he forged the National Party. He was a brave man, but I have had my own philosophy. I am not a political animal, but I do feel that if you are living in a democracy, you have to engage with the democratically elected government.' Kapur says there are issues, but democracy is an open door. 'Let's keep talking. I tell my friends who complain about censorship that I had to argue for a year to get Bandit Queen released during the Congress rule. I was also showing an Indian reality. For a long time, the U.S. has been seen as a free society, but today I guess I can express myself better in India than in the U.S.' Kapur finds a kind of intellectual tribalism in the upper echelons of society. 'No one section of society can claim that it understands or represents India completely. Freedom of expression can't exist in a vacuum. It needs to be accompanied by freedom from hunger, freedom to educate, and freedom from poverty.' Creative expression is facing a big challenge from artificial intelligence. Kapur says AI is a democratic technology, but it can't make you a better storyteller. 'If we are predictable in our creativity, AI will catch up. For instance, if we want every Game of Thrones season to have similar character graphs and ambience, AI can do that job. People at the top will lose their jobs as AI will cause the pyramid to collapse. However, the highest form of creativity emerges when we put ourselves in a state of chaos. Life and love exist because there is uncertainty. We can explore the uncertainty between does she love me, does she not in myriad ways by putting ourselves on the line, a machine can't.' Discussing his struggles with content and form, Kapur notes that among his three illustrious maternal uncles, he was emotionally closest to Chetan Anand, known for directing classics like Neecha Nagar, the only Indian film to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes, whose basic theme echoes in Kapur's jinxed project, Paani. 'Like him, content comes before style for me. You might say Mr India was an exception, but there again, the style was derived from a strong emotion. I saw the space through the 11-year-old in me. And I followed the same process in Elizabeth.' He firmly faced the detractors who equated his restlessness with laziness. Kapur says he seeks 'to climb a new mountain every time,' and sometimes, when he discovers that he is charting the same path, he is open to cutting short the adventure, as he did with projects like Joshilay and Barsaat. 'I believe art is an intuitive idea, and you can't interfere with your intuition. If you don't have your own intuition, what do you have?' he wonders. What about Kapur's perception of love? A nomad at 79 sounds a bit crazy. 'To me, settling down is a very middle-class idea,' he chuckles. 'For me, love is about dissolving yourself into something. I have felt the strongest bond with my daughter Kaveri. But is the search for home liberating or provoking more and more quests? Elizabeth poses the same question towards he end. Did she become a prisoner of herself, or was she liberated from herself? I am not sure, but I like this idea of not being sure. It drives me to try....'

Is Lovelyz's Lee Mijoo dating baseball team Hanwha Eagles star Lee Jin Young after Song Bum Keun breakup? Agency reveals
On July 25, Lovelyz member and variety star Lee Mijoo found herself in the middle of unexpected dating rumors. The speculation involved Hanwha Eagles outfielder Lee Jin Young. However, within hours of the news gaining traction, her agency Antenna swiftly dismissed the claims. 'There is no truth to the dating rumors. The two do not even know each other,' the agency stated. They draw a clear line under the growing speculation. The clarification followed reports from Korean media outlets that suggested the two were possibly dating. The articles claimed that Lee Mijoo and Lee Jin Young had become close over time. They described them as a 'three-year age difference couple.' The reports also pointed to Mijoo's known admiration for the Hanwha Eagles as a possible connection between the two. Mijoo's history with Hanwha Eagles fuels rumor mill While the rumor was untrue, fans and netizens alike were quick to piece together what seemed like possible links. Mijoo was born and raised in Okcheon, North Chungcheong Province. She is a self-proclaimed lifelong fan of the Hanwha Eagles, the very team Lee Jin Young plays for. She has thrown ceremonial first pitches for the team multiple times. Mijoo has even been spotted participating in their cheerleading and promotional activities. Her enthusiasm for the team is well-documented in her variety show appearances, often expressing her support both on- and off-camera. This deep-rooted loyalty to the Eagles may have unintentionally served as the basis for the false relationship theory; one that now appears to have no merit. Lee Mijoo's past romance with Soccer star Lee Mijoo's personal life has occasionally made headlines. In April 2023, she confirmed she was in a relationship with national soccer team goalkeeper Song Bum Keun. The two shared a three-year age difference as well. However, less than a year later, in January 2024, rumors of a breakup began circulating. Mijoo eventually confirmed their split through her personal YouTube channel, stating the two had gone their separate ways. The breakup was amicable, and no further details were shared. Since then, Mijoo has remained relatively private regarding her romantic life, until this latest speculation with Lee Jin Young surfaced. For now, any romantic involvement with Lee Jin Young has been firmly ruled out. Fans can expect more updates from Mijoo only when she's ready to share them on her own terms.
