Are You Sure?! Season 2: BTS' Jimin and Jungkook reunite on-screen after discharge with new travels in Vietnam and Switzerland
BTS's Jimin and Jungkook have reportedly completed filming for Season 2 of their travel reality show Are You Sure?! , marking their first on-screen project since returning from military service. According to K-media reports, the new season was filmed across Switzerland and Vietnam, promising fresh landscapes, spontaneous moments, and the same natural chemistry that made Season 1 a fan favourite. With production wrapped, viewers are now waiting for broadcast and streaming details to be announced. Jimin and Jungkook film new Are You Sure?! season in Switzerland and Vietnam According to a June 30 report from Korean media outlet MyDaily, Jimin and Jungkook jumped right into filming shortly after their June 11 military discharge. This time, their journey took them through Switzerland's alpine scenery and the vibrant streets of Vietnam, offering a new backdrop for their unscripted adventures. While Season 1 felt like a farewell before enlistment, Season 2 feels more like a reintroduction, showing how their dynamic holds up after nearly two years apart from the public eye. Fans are also speculating whether another BTS member might make a surprise appearance, similar to how V joined in Season 1. Are you sure?! Season 1 followed Jimin and Jungkook's pre-enlistment trip. The first season of Are You Sure?! debuted in August 2023 and quickly gained love for its relaxed, slice-of-life vibe. Shot before their enlistment, the show captured Jimin and Jungkook's journey through the United States, Jeju Island, and Sapporo, Japan. Whether they were enjoying local food, driving through scenic routes, or engaging in heartfelt talks, fans loved how authentic and unfiltered the episodes felt. One standout moment came when V (Taehyung) surprised them in Jeju, adding even more laughter and warmth to the show. Jimin and Jungkook served together under the companion soldier programme. Jimin and Jungkook enlisted together in December 2023 as active-duty soldiers and were part of South Korea's companion soldier programme, a system that allows close individuals to serve in the same unit for emotional and logistical support. The two trained and served alongside each other for 18 months, keeping a relatively low profile throughout their military journey. Credit: X They were officially discharged on June 11, 2025. With their return, Are You Sure?! Season 2 not only marks their comeback to content but also reflects their continued bond and comfort in sharing the screen. Jimin and Jungkook made an emotional appearance at Jin's solo concert. Just a day after their discharge, Jimin and Jungkook reunited with the rest of BTS at J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STAGE world tour finale in Seoul on June 13, coinciding with BTS' FESTA celebrations. On June 29, they attended Jin's RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR concert in Goyang, along with Suga. While RM and V appeared on the first night, the second day saw Suga, Jimin, and Jungkook in attendance, turning it into a mini-reunion of the group.

Will there be Squid Game 4? All we know about Lee Jung Jae starrer's future as season 3 finale leaves fans speculating
The South Korean phenomenon, Squid Game, came to an end on June 27 with the release of season 3, which saw a never-before-seen player take home the prize of 4.56 billion KRW. It was not Lee Jung Jae's Seong Gi Hun or Im Siwan's Lee Myung Gi who were left at the last stop of the final game, but the latter's baby with Jo Yu Ri's Kim Jun Hee. As the season came to an end, with a surprise cameo from Cate Blanchett, who can be seen taking over Gong Yoo's The Salesman role following his death, questions about a Korean Season 4 have been raised; however, there are no official plans for that yet. What is Squid Game: America, and will it be next season 4 for the Korean show? Previously, it was announced that David Fincher, the man behind Fight Club, Gone Girl, and many western hits, will be taking on the English-language adaptation of the hit Korean series. While no release date has been set, it is said that the filming for the USA version of Squid Game will begin this December. It is not known whether the story will resume from where it's left off in the Korean original or whether a total remake will be done. With Cate Blanchett's cameo, both seem just as possible as the other for Squid Game: America. The creator of Squid Game, director Hwang Dong Hyuk, previously addressed plans for a spin-off based on his story. Talking at the 2025 Gotham Television Awards, he shared, "If I make a spin-off, it will be a story happening between seasons 1 and 2. There was a three years gap between seasons 1 and 2, so I want to show what they did for those times." So it seems unlikely that any of our favorite original characters will make a return in Squid Game: America, but fans of the franchise can hope that the writer goes ahead with a spin-off, revealing more about Seong Gi Hun's life after winning the prize in the first season.
