The Seoul Concert Every Fan Wishes They Could Crash
Before the single even drops, Xdinary Heroes are taking over Seoul's Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium for a three-night concert series, "Xdinary Heroes Summer Special ," from July 4 to 6. This is their first time headlining at this massive venue, and they're set to perform "FiRE (My Sweet Misery)" live for the very first time. If you've ever dreamed of moshing at a K-band gig, this is the moment.
And if you're stuck streaming from your phone, at least you know you're not alone-every fan outside Korea feels your FOMO.
World Tours, Lollapalooza, and That "Anyone Can Be a Hero" Vibe
Xdinary Heroes aren't just blowing up in Korea. After kicking off their second world tour in May, they're headed to Lollapalooza Chicago on July 31, making their U.S. festival debut. For a band that debuted in December 2021, that's a wild ride-one that's got Indian fans dreaming of the day they'll see them live in Mumbai or Bangalore.
Their name, short for "extraordinary heroes," is all about the idea that anyone, anywhere, can be a hero.
And honestly, who doesn't need a little of that energy right now?
When K-Band Feels Like Home
There's something about Xdinary Heroes' rise that hits home for Indian youth. Maybe it's the way they blend genres and break rules, just like our own indie bands hustling in college fests and rooftop gigs. Or maybe it's the universal feeling of wanting to stand out and be extraordinary, even when the world feels ordinary.
Either way, this comeback isn't just a K-pop moment-it's a youth anthem in the making.
So set your alarms for July 7, crank up the volume, and get ready to let "FiRE (My Sweet Misery)" soundtrack your summer. Because if anyone knows how to turn misery into a mosh pit, it's Xdinary Heroes.
Reporter's note: There's a wild, rebellious energy in Xdinary Heroes that feels super relatable-like the spirit you find in every Indian college band, just with a bit more eyeliner and a lot more pyrotechnics.

Humour and high stakes, featuring Heads of State's cast Priyanka Chopra Jonas and John Cena
It can be difficult to make political rivalries, espionage, and high global stakes funny, but director Ilya Naishuller's Heads of State manages to strike a balance. And Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who plays an MI6 agent tasked with protecting top politicians in the film, is thrilled at the response that the film has received since it dropped online on Wednesday. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and John Cena The actor — joined by her co-star John Cena — speaks to us in London about shooting the action comedy, playing a strong female character in a male-dominated genre, and the OTT vs theatre debate. Excerpts: What was it about the film's script that got you excited? Did it take some deliberation or was it an instant 'yes'? Priyanka: I loved Ilya's films Hardcore Henry (2015) and Nobody (2021), so it was a no-brainer for me. I read [the script] and it was laugh-out-loud funny. Plus, my character was telling off these big, powerful men, so I had a lot of reasons to do it (laughs). We got to shoot in London and the South of France; filming with John and Idris (Elba, actor) was a lot of fun. John: It was an easy yes. Sometimes, when making decisions, we ask ourselves, 'What can go wrong?' With [this film], I asked myself, 'What's gonna go right?' I'm glad I did, because the enthusiasm was shared by everybody in the movie, both in the front of and behind the camera. That really made for a heck of a movie. There's been ongoing chatter about the OTT space versus theatrical releases in India. Since your film dropped on Prime Video on Wednesday, do you think people will stop going to theatres elsewhere in the world, too? Priyanka: I just think that they are two different mediums of entertainment. I do think that streaming has brought a diversity of talents in front of and behind the camera, especially in the Indian film industry. I think it's an evolving thing; but the communal experience and collective joy of watching something in theatres is never going to go away. John, you're loved as both a wrestler and an actor, and have a huge fan following in India. Are there any plans to work in Indian movies in the future? John: I just haven't got that offer yet. I don't necessarily control my own destiny; the best I can do is react to opportunities that are put my way. What I can tell you matter-of-factly is, I've been aware of the passion for WWE in India for over 20 years now. I would not be where I'm at today without the investment and the passion of the audience in India. I'm very grateful for that. Why should people watch Heads Of State? Priyanka: It's a really fun movie and my favourite genre — it makes you laugh, hold onto your seat, and gets you excited. There's fun jokes, big explosions and just a great experience. I think it's one of those movies which you watch with your family and friends for the collective experience.

Director Suresha voices concern over social media influence on youth
Mysuru: Kannada film director B Suresha on Thursday expressed serious concern that excessive use of social media has caused not only distress among youths but also contributed to anxiety and low self-esteem. He was speaking after inaugurating a lecture on cinematography and photography organised by the department of Kannada and culture at Ravivarma School of Arts in the city. He said as India is gifted with a talented youth population, migrating to cities, towns, and other foreign countries in search of jobs and other greener pastures has raised a lot of hopes about their future. "Indian students were the highest in obtaining scholarships for students in the United Kingdom according to 2022-23 reports. On the other side, a grim situation like a large number of youths working for meagre Rs 400 daily wages exist in the country," he said. He also highlighted the importance of studying cinematography and photography as it helps reflect and mirror society, and also showcase India's vibrant life system in cinema. "As social media platforms exacerbate depression, youths exposed to cyberbullying and unrealistic portrayals of life, there is an urgent need to bring out youths nowadays from digital distress," he said. Theatre activist R Rashmi, Ravivarma School of Arts principal Shivakumar Kesaramadu, and senior cinematographer MR Manjunath were present.
