S.Coups and Mingyu to become SEVENTEEN's 4th subunit as part of 10th anniversary rebirth project
SEVENTEEN's 4th subunit– S.Coups X Mingyu
The sub group announcement has filled the fandom Carat with immense joy and anticipation. Many of them demanded a S.Coups X Mingyu duo pairing for a long time now, due to their musical synergy and similar vibes. Notably, the BE THE SUN Jakarta concert's Shadow stage earned them a separate fanbase. With the fans' wishes finally getting fulfilled, they can't keep calm anymore.
S.Coups X Mingyu is different from the rest of SEVENTEEN's subunits as it is the only one composed solely of the hip-hop team members. For those unfamiliar with the divisions, the boy band has a vocal line (lead by Woozi), a performance line (lead by Hoshi) and a hip hop line (lead by S.Coups). The new mix unit was formed as part of the group's 10th anniversary 'rebirth' project.
With Hoshi X Woozi set to go on a musical hiatus due to their ensuing military training, and Jeonghan and Wonwoo already enlisted, S.Coups X Mingyu seems like the perfect consolation to the fans.
SEVENTEEN's latest projects
SEVENTEEN dropped their fifth full-length album titled HAPPY BURSTDAY on May 26, 2025, with its main track Thunder topping charts. They also dropped a GOING SVT SPECIAL episode from SEVENTEEN's popular variety show over a month ago. The episode aimed at matching the new album's theme, just like they did during their previous comebacks.
They are now set to embark on another world tour, following the last RIGHT HERE concert, that took place on February 16 this year.

BTS military hiatus linked to HYBE insider trading case, staff from Source Music, BigHit, Belift Lab get suspended sentences
In a stunning turn of events, BTS' mandatory military enlistment - which sent shockwaves through fans and markets alike in 2022 - has now led to insider trading convictions within their own company. While all seven members - Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook - reunited in June 2025 after completing their duties, this news of HYBE insider trading related to their hiatus has hit fans hard. Three employees from HYBE and its affiliated labels have been sentenced for using confidential information about the group's hiatus to sell company stock before the news became public. On July 22 KST, the Seoul Southern District Court's Criminal Division 13 (Presiding Judge Kim Sang Yeon) handed down suspended prison sentences to three individuals who sold HYBE shares just before BTS revealed their break from group activities due to enlistment, beginning with the eldest member, Jin. HYBE insider trading case Among those convicted was a Source Music employee, Mr. Kim (37), who received a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, along with a hefty fine of 231 million KRW (approx. $167,000 USD). Former BigHit Music employee Mr. Lee (33) and former Belift Lab staffer Mr. Kim (41) were each sentenced to six months in prison, also suspended for two years, with fines of 51 million and 65 million KRW, respectively. The insider trades occurred just ahead of BTS' bombshell June 14, 2022 announcement video, where the group confirmed a temporary hiatus as all seven members prepared to serve in South Korea's military. Following the video, HYBE's stock plummeted nearly 25% — its worst single-day fall on record. The court's verdict The court didn't mince words: "In the entertainment industry, an artist's group activity directly impacts company revenue. The suspension of BTS's activities was highly sensitive, material information." The judge added, "This crime gravely undermines the integrity of capital markets and warrants strong condemnation from society." About BTS The group, upon reuniting, has traveled to the USA for a two-month boot camp to regroup and begin working on their upcoming album. According to the members, the new album is slated for release in spring 2026. Currently, all members - except Jin, who is on his solo world tour - are together in Los Angeles. Rumours are also circulating that Jungkook may soon embark on a solo tour of his own. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.

BOYNEXTDOOR gives out free No Genre albums at supermarket, faces sales manipulation allegations
BOYNEXTDOOR, a fifth-generation K-pop group, released their 4th EP, No Genre, in May 2025, showcasing their growth and versatility as artists over the past two years. Despite their talent and devoted fan base, the group's album sales seem to be less than what they expected. Recently, they have been at the center of controversy after their albums were spotted being given away for free at a supermarket, as shared by a Nate Pann user. Is BOYNEXTDOOR giving out free No Genre albums to inflate sale numbers? According to post in the online discussion portal Nate Pann, the HYBE LABELS -owned BOYNEXTDOOR gave out No Genre albums as freebies with the purchase of instant rice worth over 20,000 KRW (14.41 USD). This move sparked intense reactions from netizens, including allegations of sales number manipulation. Notably, No Genre sold over 1.16 million copies in its first week– between May 13 and 19. This marked a significant achievement, showcasing the group's growing popularity. However, with the free album distribution issue coming to light, fans are doubting the authenticity of their million-seller status. Critics pointed to HYBE's alleged practices of pushing out album sales, which involves bulk sales to distributors with return clauses, potentially inflating sales numbers. Fans weigh on other possible reasons for BOYNEXTDOOR free album distribution The accusations of album sale number manipulation led to the undermining of hard work of Jaehyun, Sungho, Riwoo, Taesan, Leehan and Woonhak. Many accused their agency, KOZ Entertainment, for the plight of the boys. Weighing on the probable reasons for the move, they predicted them trying to get rid of unsold albums in this way. They criticized the unethical practice and even called the group "flop." According to some, the reason might be potential promotional partnerships with the rice company. While mostly the reactions were negative, some dedicated ONEDOORs (BOYNEXTDOOR's fandom) defended their favourite artists, dismissing the allegations as unfounded. As per them, many spread hate by saying, "When it [HYBE groups] sells out it's hybe payola and when it doesn't it's nugu." The fans clapped back at such people, stating, "BOYNEXTDOOR DID A GREAT JOB AND YA IT'S TRUE OUR FANDOM IS SMALL BUT STRONG."

BLACKPINK Lisa shows off her Rs 2.5 crore Supercar; proves she is living her best life
BLACKPINK's Lisa dropped some serious fire on her Instagram with a series of photos that prove she is living her best life. The Thai-born K-pop sensation posted multiple shots with the caption "Keep scrolling" - and honestly, we couldn't stop even if we wanted to! The photos show Lisa rocking a casual crop top and jeans combo while posing effortlessly next to what appears to be a multi-crore sports car. For context, we're talking about a vehicle worth approximately ₹2.5-3 crores. Living That Superstar Dream What makes these photos even more relatable (in the most unrelatable way possible) is how Lisa captured those everyday moments - sitting in her luxury ride, casually filling up gas, and just chilling like it's no big deal. BLACKPINK's Unstoppable Journey Continues Meanwhile, Lisa's group BLACKPINK is currently killing it with their world tour "DEADLINE," covering 16 cities across 31 shows. They also dropped their latest track "뛰어" (Jump) on July 11th, which has been making waves in the music scene. It's fascinating how K-pop stars like Lisa have managed to build such massive wealth at such a young age - something that resonates deeply with Indian youth who dream of making it big in entertainment, tech, or business. A Reflection on Success and Dreams Lisa's latest Instagram post isn't just about showing off wealth - it's about celebrating the journey from a trainee to becoming one of the world's biggest pop stars. The casual confidence in her photos speaks to a generation that believes in working hard, dreaming big, and not being ashamed of success when it comes. Whether you're a K-pop fan or not, there's something universally inspiring about seeing someone live their dreams.
