BTS' V goofily dodges saying he ‘missed ARMY' during live, playlist with Justin Bieber and SZA songs has fans praising ‘good taste'
V logs on with just 3% battery
V 's live was unexpectedly brief, and for a reason: his phone was on the verge of dying. He mentioned with a laugh that his phone battery was down to just 3 percent. But even in those few minutes, he managed to pack in goofiness, charm, and a sprinkle of mischief. Classic Taehyung!
He told fans the members weren't working on music that day, so he used the free time to work out and meet up with friends in LA. BTS members are currently staying there for a two-month creative session.
V's sunglasses trick and cheeky 'miss ARMY' tease
One of the cutest moments during the live came when V jerked his head to slide his sunglasses from his forehead down to his eyes. When they landed perfectly, he flashed a mischievous grin. He cheekily showed off his front teeth, melting ARMYs instantly.
In true V fashion, he playfully refused to confess he missed fans outright. In his words, 'ARMY? How can I say I missed ARMY? That too, so directly. Ehey~ I can't~ I can't.' He teased with a playful pout, making the moment even more endearing.
V's chill playlist for the day
Before his phone gave out, V also shared a quick peek into the songs he's been listening to lately. He turned the live into a mini music session:
DAISIES – Justin Bieber
Alesis – Mk.gee
Crybaby – SZA
Are You Even Real – Teddy Swims & GIVEON
Tread Carefully – SZA
The mellow, R&B-infused lineup felt very Taehyung-coded, giving fans a glimpse into his current mood. Even with just 3% battery, V delivered 100% of his charm. And ARMYs are loving every second of this content-filled day.
BTS in LA, album in the works
BTS members are currently in Los Angeles, spending two months working on their next chapter. The group has previously confirmed that their comeback album is scheduled for Spring 2026.

BTS' Jungkook makes surprise IG return, goes live with V, RM, and Jimin on Weverse - ARMY can't handle the chaos
Just when things felt quiet in the BTS universe, chaos was brewing - and ARMY had no idea what was about to hit them. On July 14, during a seemingly ordinary Weverse live, Kim Taehyung aka V was asked a simple question if he will ever go live on Instagram again? The last time V went live on Instagram, it was with Jeon Jungkook, BTS' beloved maknae, who had an IG account at the time. Fans still remember the infamous username @abcdefghi__lmnopqrstuvwxyz before he deleted the account altogether in February 2023. His reason? He didn't see the point in keeping it and preferred the more intimate setting of Weverse Lives. Since then, Jungkook's only IG presence had been a wholesome account for his dog, Bam - @bowwow_bam. So when V casually hopped onto Instagram again, no one expected the bombshell that followed: BTS leader Kim Namjoon (RM) joined the stream - and so did a mystery account. Fans instantly noticed the unfamiliar handle: @mnijungkook. Within seconds, theories exploded. Could it really be him? Then came confirmation - Jungkook had returned to Instagram. Not only that, but he launched his own live with V and RM. The trio laughed, joked, and effortlessly brought ARMY to their knees with excitement. It wasn't just a livestream - it was a full-on BTS digital reunion, unpredictable and unforgettable. Instagram crashes, BTS chaos migrates to Weverse As Instagram lagged under the pressure of millions tuning in, the boys jumped to safer ground: Weverse. And that's where things truly spiraled into delightful Jungkook and V chatted from different rooms. Then RM entered Jungkook's space, and the two began teasing and laughing. Enter: Jimin. He popped up beside them, only to be sent off to Taehyung's room for fun. But the plot twisted again: as soon as Jimin arrived, V announced he was taking a shower - and instead reappeared in Jungkook's room! Meanwhile, Jimin, who was left alone, decided it would be good to try on V's clothes. As fans scrambled to keep up, J-Hope made a surprise call from what looked like an airport, briefly checking in with his brothers. ARMY can't get enough of BTS' bond It was beautiful chaos - and ARMY was here for all of it. Within minutes, clips and screenshots flooded X (formerly Twitter), with fans praising the spontaneous livestream as 'peak BTS energy.' The interactions - silly, warm, chaotic - were a reminder of the irreplaceable bond between the seven members, and the joy they bring just by being themselves. Jungkook live on Instagram with RM and V!

BLACKPINK's JUMP overtakes Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild, becomes biggest 2025 Spotify debut for female artist and K-pop act
BLACKPINK is back and bigger than ever. Their latest digital single, JUMP, has taken the global music scene by storm. The track has made an explosive debut on Spotify. It shattered multiple records and set new standards for K-pop and female artists alike. BLACKPINK's JUMP sets 2025 Spotify record for female artist and K-pop group debut Upon its release, JUMP instantly drew massive attention from fans across the globe. Within the first 24 hours, the song racked up over 9.3 million total streams. This makes it the largest debut for any female artist on Spotify in 2025. Of those, 7.028 million streams were officially credited. The track landed at No. 2 on Spotify's Global Daily Chart, right behind Justin Bieber's DAISIES, which debuted with 8.34 million. While it narrowly missed the top spot overall, JUMP emerged as the highest-ranking debut by a girl group and K-pop act this year. It effortlessly surpassed all prior benchmarks. BLACKPINK's JUMP shatters K-pop girl group debut records Before BLACKPINK 's return, the 2025 record for the biggest debut by a K-pop girl group belonged to aespa. Their single Dirty Work opened with 2.39 million streams. JUMP didn't just beat that figure, it nearly quadrupled it. In addition, when compared to other top-performing female-led K-pop tracks of the year, the contrast becomes even more stark. TWICE's THIS IS FOR, another highly anticipated comeback, earned 2.25 million debut streams. Against that backdrop, BLACKPINK's numbers demonstrate the unmatched reach and global pull the group continues to command. BLACKPINK surpasses Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild The impact of JUMP goes beyond K-pop. Its overall streaming performance has placed BLACKPINK at the top of all female artists on Spotify in 2025. The track overtakes Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild, which previously held the lead with 8.7 million first-day streams. Rather than fueling competition, fans of both artists celebrated the moment as a win for women in music. BLACKPINK and Sabrina Carpenter are known for their mutual admiration. Fans took to social media to applaud their parallel success stories. Spotify Artist Chart surge Beyond individual song streams, the release of JUMP also propelled BLACKPINK back into the spotlight on Spotify's artist rankings. The group saw a dramatic leap of 128 spots on the Spotify Global Daily Top Artists chart, rising to No. 41 in just one day.
