Fact Check: Did BTS' V and Park Hyung Sik really have dinner with Eva Chow? Here's what we know about viral selfie
The image featured three individuals seated closely at what looked like a dinner setting. According to a widely circulated screenshot, the caption attributed to Eva Chow read, 'Fun dinner with TH who is about to be released from the army soon and Hyungsik from Buried Hearts... my favorite drama of the season. Hopefully, they'll make a sequel!!'
At first glance, the photo seemed believable enough. Fans were thrilled at the thought of the two friends reuniting for dinner. The update felt like a rare treat. However, the excitement was short-lived.
Within hours, skeptical fans began pointing out several visual inconsistencies in the image. While it was labeled as an Instagram post by Eva Chow, sharp-eyed users noticed that neither the photo nor the caption appeared on her verified Instagram account. There were no recent updates from her featuring either of the two Korean celebrities.
As doubts grew, fans turned their attention to the image itself. It quickly became evident that the photo was far from authentic. Taehyung and Park Hyung Sik 's facial features appeared unnaturally smooth, with uncanny proportions and odd expressions. Moreover, a specific detail raised even more eyebrows: a flower perched behind the V's ear was visibly warped and inconsistent with the image's resolution, suggesting the use of AI image manipulation tools.
Soon, fan forums and online communities began labeling the post as AI-generated content. It was likely created by a fan using advanced image generation software to imagine a fictional scenario involving their favorite stars. What may have started as fan art or a fun moment quickly spiraled out of control. It turned into a misinformation storm when it was repurposed and shared under the guise of being real.
This isn't the first time AI-generated celebrity content has confused the internet. While the photo may have been harmless in intent, fans were quick to condemn the circulation of fabricated celebrity updates. Many voiced concern that such content could mislead fans or lead to unwanted rumors.

Park Bo Gum shocks IU with harsh beauty confession, admits to starving himself for clear skin: ‘I skipped meals'
Park Bo Gum and IU, Netflix's favourite couple from When Life Gives You Tangerines, reunited on the August 1 episode of music talk show The Seasons: Park Bo Gum's Cantabile. As the show aired its season finale, Bo Gum wrapped up his gig as host. The episode turned out to be a mix of surprises, emotions, and sweet moments, including a special message from BTS' Kim Taehyung aka V. During their chat, IU, whose very appearance left Bo Gum in tears, kicked things off by teasing him, saying the 'worlds of dermatology, comedy, and magic are nervous' because of him. In return, the Godd Boy dropped his beauty secret. Also read: Park Bo Gum turns 32: From Song Joong Ki to cult controversy, rare times the Good Boy got dragged into controversies Beyond just having that adorable puppy face, Park Bo Gum is also known for his flawless skin and is one of those rare Korean actors with glass-clear skin and zero surgeries, something his co-star IU (aka Lee Ji Eun) definitely wanted answers for. Responding to her tease about dermatologists being nervous, Bo Gum played along, joking, 'I heard that too. People say looking at my face is like getting a facelift.' While the audience laughed, he dropped something worth noting. To make sure he looked fresh on camera, Bo Gum said he wouldn't eat or drink anything the day before filming, just to avoid a pimple. 'I wanted to look my best,' he said, adding with a smile, 'I didn't even know why I was laughing.' He admitted, 'I really appreciate that people smile when they see my face, so every week before the shoot, I'd skip food completely, just to keep the pimples away.' IU was surprised and asked, 'Even you, Bo Gum?' He added that drinking less water helped him feel more energetic on shoot days. 'If I drink a lot of water and stay hydrated, I look fabulous during 'Cantabile' recordings.' When asked if there was a guest who stood out to him, Bo Gum mentioned Jang Deul Lae and jokingly said, 'The thought of wanting to remove the wedding ring…' He then congratulated her on her marriage and her resized ring, which drew more laughs from the crowd.

In the video, V said, 'Bo Gum hyung asked me, 'Taehyung Ah, when are you coming on the show?' But I'm in the US right now, so I couldn't make it. I feel bad. If we get a chance later, I'd love to shoot together.' The Winter Bear crooner then thanked fans for supporting Cantabile, promised a great new BTS album next spring, and told everyone to look forward to it. Park Bo Gum was visibly moved by the video. He just sat there in silence, reacting with a soft 'Oh,' while the audience applauded.

Gisele Bündchen explodes over Tom Brady's fatherhood claims as their co-parenting pact crumbles
Tom Brady's recent newsletter stirred controversy. Sources say Gisele Bundchen felt slighted by his comments on fatherhood (Getty Images) Tom Brady's attempt to open up about fatherhood in his 199 newsletter may have caused more damage than healing — especially when it comes to his relationship with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. While the NFL icon reflected on what it means to be a 'great father,' insiders say his remarks landed like a public jab at the woman who once sacrificed her own career to raise their kids. Tom Brady 's newsletter draws fire as sources say communication is now strictly about the kids Though Brady didn't mention Bündchen by name, his statement — 'Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent' — reportedly struck a nerve. According to a source cited in Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop, Bündchen saw the comment as a 'personal dig.' The insider emphasized that the supermodel is growing tired of what they call the 'narrative that he sacrificed everything for them,' adding bluntly, 'He didn't. She did.' No emotional ties left between the former couple, says insider The former power couple, who finalized their divorce in 2022, now reportedly have no 'real relationship' outside of their children, Benjamin and Vivian. According to the source, their dynamic is strictly logistical — 'drop-offs, pick-ups, school events.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Any lingering personal connection, it seems, has withered since the newsletter's release. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Bündchen recently welcomed her third child — her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. While Brady's newsletter attempted to redefine what fatherhood looks like from his perspective, Bündchen is said to be focused on building a 'peaceful' and emotionally fulfilling new chapter. The couple, often spotted on romantic getaways, has sparked wedding speculation in recent months. Gisele Bündchen's quiet clapback: moving on, privately but powerfully Despite the apparent tension, Bündchen isn't fighting fire with fire. Instead, she's channeling her energy into her new life, quietly sharing glimpses of her joy — including a sweet Mother's Day Instagram post featuring her baby. The message is clear: while Brady writes about being a great dad, Bündchen is simply living it — and for some, that says more than any newsletter ever could.

Chiefs' Chris Jones opens up about love and longing after split from longtime girlfriend stirs headlines
Chris Jones breaks silence on love life post-breakup (Getty Images) Kansas City Chiefs defensive star Chris Jones , known for his explosive presence on the field, is revealing a far more vulnerable side off it. Just months after a public and painful breakup with his longtime girlfriend Sheawna Weathersby, Jones appears to be yearning for something deeper than Super Bowl rings—companionship and love. During a lighthearted training camp interview, the 31-year-old defensive tackle shared a surprisingly heartfelt goal from his bucket list: 'I just wanna be married, I just wanna be loved.' Chris Jones shares hopes for marriage and future with someone new Jones' tender revelation was posted on the Chiefs' official TikTok account, drawing attention not just for its sincerity but also for its timing. The video surfaced four months after Weathersby's Instagram post accused Jones of infidelity and confirmed their nine-year relationship had ended 'months ago.' — BSO (@BSO) 'I'm choosing to focus on the positive as I close this chapter on a 9-year relationship,' she wrote. 'Ultimately Chris' infidelity with the woman he's recently been pictured with led to my decision to end our relationship months ago.' The alleged incident referenced was a now-deleted Instagram photo of Jones with a woman licking his face, which further fueled the breakup narrative. Jones never publicly addressed the accusations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Even Beautiful Women Have Their 'Oops' Moments Read More Undo However, he did declare his single status via a string of tweets back in January—just weeks before signing a mammoth five-year, $158.75 million contract extension that includes $101 million guaranteed. Weathersby's post also described unsettling harassment from the other woman, claiming, 'This is especially troubling given her history of harassment, stalking and disrespect towards me… This behavior has forced me to change my number and has forced Chris to ask her multiple times to please leave me alone and respect our coparenting dynamic.' Chris Jones- Life beyond the breakup Despite the personal upheaval, Jones continues to dominate on the field. Last season, he recorded 75 pressures, 29 quarterback hits, and 10.5 sacks—proving why he's a cornerstone of the Chiefs' defense. Jones and Weathersby, who had been together since at least 2015, share two young children, 6-year-old Christopher and 2-year-old Carson. Weathersby was a familiar presence at games and developed close bonds with other Chiefs WAGs, including Taylor Swift , who is currently dating tight end Travis Kelce . Now, with fame, fortune, and football already under his belt, Jones seems to be seeking something far more elusive—someone to stand beside him when the crowd fades and the lights go dim.
