BTS ransacks store in new Permission to Dance Live Album PICS ahead of its July 18 release, check out
BTS releases new concept photos for Permission to Dance Live Album
The BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook are seen standing inside a departmental store in a newly released still. The PTD General Store is dark with the only sources of light being torches in the boy band artists' hands and LED-light sign boards of the store. The septet's serious expression hints at some shady business going on. Their shirts add a pop of colour to the still, making it even more interesting.
The wall clock 3:05 setting may be an intentional clue related to the live album, leaving fans curious until more details emerge. Besides the in-store shot, there's another taken outside, where the members stand at a distance and look at it. The store shots remind us of the Permission to Dance music video where the artists dance around inside laundry and other stores.

BTS RM Reacts to Lovebugs at Jin's Concert: "I Didn't Even Know I Was Being Filmed"
When Even RM Can't Keep Calm: The Lovebug Attack So, imagine you're at your friend's concert, vibing, maybe humming along, and suddenly-bam! Five lovebugs land on your arm. That's exactly what happened to BTS leader RM (Kim Namjoon) at Jin's recent fan concert in Goyang. And trust us, even the most zen K-pop idol can't keep his composure when attacked by a mini insect army. A video of RM's very relatable reaction-let's just say he dropped a spicy "XX" (insert your favorite expletive here)-went viral faster than a BTS album sells out. The clip shows RM frantically shaking his arm and letting out a classic, unfiltered curse as he tries to get rid of the bugs. The moment was so real, fans couldn't help but laugh and totally relate. Who wouldn't freak out with five bugs crawling on them? The Internet Reacts: "RM Is All of Us!" After the video exploded online, RM addressed the incident during a BTS group livestream. He admitted, "I didn't even know I was being filmed! Five lovebugs landed on me at once. I just shook them off and it slipped out." Jimin, ever the mischief-maker, couldn't stop laughing and teased RM about his "legendary" moment. Fans and netizens totally got where he was coming from. Comments like "Lovebugs are the worst, RM is so real!" and "Anyone would react the same way!" flooded social media. Even Jin chimed in, saying, "A bunch of them flew into my mouth too!" That's some next-level concert experience, right? The Great Lovebug Invasion: Not Just a K-pop Problem Turns out, RM isn't the only one losing it over these bugs. The lovebug (aka 붉은등우단털파리, for the science geeks) has been swarming all over Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon this summer. The city got over 4,000 complaints about lovebugs just in the first half of this year. People at outdoor events, parks, and yes, even K-pop concerts, have been struggling to keep these clingy insects away. But here's the twist: lovebugs actually help the environment by breaking down organic matter in the soil. So, while they're a total nuisance, they're technically "good guys." Still, when you're at a concert and one lands on your face, who cares about soil health, right? Bugs, Bollywood, and Keeping It Real Let's be honest, if this happened at a concert in Mumbai or Delhi, the crowd would probably react the same-maybe with a few more creative Hindi expletives thrown in! There's something universal about the "ick" factor when bugs crash your party. Whether you're a K-pop idol or just another person at a college fest, the struggle is real. What makes this moment so iconic is that RM, usually the calm and intellectual leader, showed a totally normal, human side. It's the kind of thing that makes fans love him even more-because sometimes, you just gotta let it out! And hey, if you ever get caught on camera swatting bugs and swearing, just remember: you're in good company with RM.

After V, BTS' RM hangs out with Oldboy director Park Chan Wook, fans wonder what's cooking
BTS fans are once again in detective mode. And this time, their attention is on RM and V possibly stepping into the world of acting. The speculation reignited after RM shared an Instagram story showing him posing with Park Chan Wook. He's the legendary director behind Oldboy, Decision to Leave, and The Handmaiden. Also in the photo was Myung Whun Chung, a globally respected pianist and conductor. The image quickly set ARMY buzzing; and not just because of the company. It also raised eyebrows because this wasn't the first BTS-Park Chan Wook connection fans had noticed. V spotted with Park Chan Wook weeks ago Just weeks earlier, on June 17, 2025, V was spotted attending a classical music performance by Jo Sung Jin. He was sitting beside none other than Park Chan Wook himself. And even earlier, on June 9, V had shared an Instagram story that showed him deep in conversation with the director. Fans were already intrigued by the interaction, and with these continued sightings, the buzz only intensified. Now, with RM's latest photo, ARMY feels like they've just been handed another dot to connect. Given the timing and shared appearances, fans are wondering: Could something be brewing behind the scenes? Perhaps a film, drama, or even a collaborative project in the works? Are RM and V eyeing acting roles? Although no official statements have been made, fans are buzzing with the possibility that both RM and V may be considering acting ventures under Park's direction. For V, this would mark a long-awaited return to acting following his role in Hwarang (2016). As for RM, it could be his on-screen debut, a moment many fans have been dreaming of. For now, it's all speculation While nothing has been confirmed, the series of recent sightings and shared company with Park Chan Wook is too intriguing for fans to ignore. Whether it's a drama, film, or an artistic collaboration of another kind, ARMY is holding out hope that something exciting is on the horizon.

When K-Pop Meets Animation-And the World Can't Stop Watching Okay, imagine this: an animated film about K-pop idols fighting evil spirits drops, and suddenly, everyone from BTS's RM to your TikTok feed is obsessed. That's exactly what's happening with K-Pop Demon Hunters. The movie isn't just topping OTT charts globally's also got an OST that's basically taking over the world. The film stars a girl group called Huntrix, who battle supernatural baddies, and a rival boy group, Lion Boys, who are, well, suspiciously mysterious. Sounds like every K-drama ever, but with more glitter and demon-slaying. OST Goes Viral-BTS, TWICE, and TikTok Can't Get Enough Here's where things get wild. The movie's soundtrack, featuring the addictive dance track "Soda Pop," has become a global anthem. BTS's RM literally sang along to it on his livestream, and Jungkook admitted he watched the film too. When BTS recommends something, you know it's about to blow up. TWICE's Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung filmed themselves dancing to Huntrix's "TAKEDOWN," racking up a mind-blowing 17 million views on TikTok. ZeroBaseOne's "Soda Pop" challenge video?

Billboard Domination-OST Breaks Records Like It's No Big Deal This isn't just hype-these songs are making history. The K-Pop Demon Hunters OST debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200, making it the first OST album this year to break into the top 10. Individual tracks "Your Idol" (by the Lion Boys) and "Golden" (by Huntrix) landed at #77 and #81 on the Hot 100, respectively. For context, that's like an Indian film soundtrack suddenly charting alongside Taylor Swift and Drake. Insane! On Spotify, multiple tracks are in the global top 100, and in Korea, "Golden" and "Soda Pop" are trending on Melon's Top 100. The soundtrack's success is being credited to some of K-pop's biggest hitmakers-Teddy (the genius behind BLACKPINK and BIGBANG), Kush, Vince, and more. Even the vocalists are familiar faces: ex-SM trainees, R&B singer Audrey Nuna, and Korean-American artist Ray Ami. Why Indian Fans Totally Get the Hype Let's be real-this kind of fandom energy is super relatable for anyone who's ever stanned a Bollywood star or joined a dance challenge for a Tollywood hit. The way K-pop fans are rallying behind this animated film feels a lot like how Indian fans turn movie releases into nationwide festivals. The TikTok challenges? It's the same vibe as everyone learning the latest hook step from a Ranveer Singh song. And just like Indian cinema, K-pop's magic lies in its ability to blend catchy music, killer dance moves, and larger-than-life storytelling. "K-Pop Demon Hunters" is basically the animated, supernatural version of what we already love-just with more neon hair and less melodrama. When Cultures Collide-And Fans Win What's really cool is how this film has become a global party. BTS's shoutout gave it a massive boost, and now even the director is publicly asking for a BTS x Lion Boys collab. The line between fiction and reality is blurring, and fans are loving every second. It's proof that whether you're in Seoul or Surat, the universal language of music, dance, and fandom brings us all together. Honestly, watching K-pop idols (even animated ones) take over the world feels a lot like cheering for your favorite cricket team-pure, infectious joy. Here's hoping we get an Indian version someday, complete with dhol beats and demon-slaying dance battles. And hey, if you're not already humming "Soda Pop," what are you even doing with your
