G-Dragon REACTS to allegations that BTS's J-Hope ‘copied' him
After BTS member
J-Hope
was accused of 'copying' BIGBANG's G-Dragon during Paris Fashion Week, the latter has finally responded in a way that has managed to garner a lot of attention online.
Earlier this week, J-Hope, along with various other names in K-pop like GOT7's Jackson, Mark and
BamBam
, attended the Paris Fashion Week. While most were excited about the attendance, some netizens were quick to accuse the BTS rapper of 'copying' G-Dragon's style.
A video of the idol taken by a fan had gone viral online after he was seen entering and exiting a popular luxury brand's headquarters. While covered in bling head to toe, most fans were delighted to see the idol's new style.
The video, however, earned a lot of criticism after fans of G-Dragon called him out, saying that the new style was a direct copy of what the BIGBANG member has been doing for years.
G-Dragon reacts
While netizens were criticising J-Hope for his new style at Paris Fashion Week, it was G-Dragon who made the first move in the most subtle way. The BIGBANG member ended up liking a post that featured the BTS member in Paris, thus putting an end to the speculations and showing his support for the 'Killin' It Girl' singer himself.
Fans react
G-Dragon's activity on social media garnered a lot of attention, both positive and negative. While some cited that the idol was showing his support to put an end to unnecessary hate, others started criticising him instead. Some netizens, however, took over and defended both of the idols, calling people out for saying that the situation is being blown out of proportion. One fan commented, 'Why can't you accept they have a healthy senior and junior relationship?.
And even without this, Gd likes everything; I got a few from him too, so I'm being stalked by him?'

'K-pop Demon Hunters' Saja Boys x BTS? Creators tease possible collab
Since its release on June 20, Netflix's animated film K-pop Demon Hunters has got everyone talking. The vibrant mix of K-pop glamour, supernatural action, and high-energy music got fans hooked. With dazzling visuals and an action-packed narrative, the film has left audiences thrilled - and hungry for more. As anticipation grows, calls for a sequel have already begun. In response, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have shared insights into the film's origins - and revealed that BTS played a key role in sparking its creation. The origin of 'K-pop Demon Hunters' Chris Appelhans revealed that the idea for the film was born during the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. "Maggie and I began planning this film during the pandemic—a time when people all over the world were struggling to feel connected. Then BTS held an online concert, and suddenly millions of people, including us, were singing and dancing to Dynamite from our homes. For a moment, the world felt a little brighter." Appelhans added: "Through the characters' journeys and the songs they sing, I hope viewers can feel even a fraction of the joy and light BTS gave us during that time." 'K-pop Demon Hunters' story At the heart of the film is HUNTR/X, a rising K-pop girl group consisting of Rumi, Mira, and Zoey. By day, they dazzle the world as idols under bright lights and infectious pop beats - but by night, they take on a secret role as demon hunters, protecting the human world from malevolent spirits that slip between realms. Standing in their way are the Saja Boys, a mysterious and powerful group with deep-rooted connections to the spirit world. As the two forces collide, the story unfolds into a high-stakes showdown that stretches far beyond choreography and fame - blending supernatural action, K-pop culture, and emotional depth into a vivid and fantastical adventure Saja Boys and BTS: A dream collab? Recently, it was reported that BTS and the fictional Saja Boys are the only K-pop boy groups to reach the Top 10 on the US Spotify Chart. BTS have been on hiatus since 2022, and no other group had achieved this milestone - until now, when it took an animated boy group to become the second to do so. Reacting to the news, Maggie Kang took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote: "Hey ARMY, how about a collab with Saja Boys? The Pride is ready @bts_bighit." Hey Army, how about a collab with Saja Boys?

BTS' Jin says 'no spoilers' as V and J-Hope get spotted at Run Seokjin Tour's Goyang concert rehearsals
BTS member Jin is set to embark on his debut solo world tour, with two nights in South Korea's Goyang Auxiliary Stadium on June 28 and 29. The weekend shows have generated immense hype online. With just a few hours remaining for the Saturday concert's commencement, fans are abuzz with speculations regarding J-Hope and V's surprise acts in one or both of the days. Will V and J-Hope join Jin in Goyang concert of RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR? A day ahead of Jin's Goyang concert, the artists held a stage rehearsal at the venue. During then, several fans gathered outside the stadium to hear him sing and get glances of him at the giant screen. During then, they allegedly spotted Kim Taehyung aka V and J-Hope on the screen and even heard their voices. As Jin hummed his songs, V and J-Hope were faintly heard saying something to him. Although the voices did seem like that of Jin's BTS teammates, the limited peeks couldn't confirm their identities. However, the possibility of them being V and J-Hope was enough to make fans go gaga. Jin's directive to BTS ARMY after the end of Goyang concert rehearsals As the stage rehearsals at Goyang Auxiliary Stadium concluded, Jin took to Weverse to ask the live viewers not to share their experience with other fans. He wrote, "ARMYs See you tomorrow. Rehearsal is over. For those who watched the rehearsal from far away, no spoilers." It further fueled the rumors of the two mystery men spotted on the screen being V and J-Hope. Although the Running Wild singer asked the fans not to spoil the concert deets ahead of the show, BTS ARMY recorded bits of the session and shared it online. With that, social media flooded with curious questions regarding whether RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR will be V's first stage act following military discharge. Earlier, V also teased something "big" coming up for him and that might be his appearance in Jin's concert. As for J-Hope, the fact that Jin made a surprise appearance at J-Hope's Goyang encore stage for HOPE ON THE STAGE FINAL makes it all the more possible for the roles to get switched this time.
