Taehyung left Korea for Paris on July 4, departing from Incheon International Airport. The BTS vocalist was met with an overwhelming crowd that got so out of control, his managers and bodyguards struggled to protect him at one point. One fan even got so close that the crowd went crazy for a moment, and a few were seen falling. A fan later posted the video on Weverse (the fan interaction platform), to which the K-pop idol himself replied, 'ARMY, you know that, right? It's dangerous~ Let's be safe next time~'

Taehyung is currently one of the richest K-pop idols, with his brand value soaring to a whole new level. The singer and songwriter was announced as the brand ambassador for the Italian luxury house in 2023, just ahead of his military enlistment. He later attended that year's Fashion Week alongside fellow Korean ambassadors, including Park Bo Gum and Blackpink's Lisa. The move was followed by Taehyung's multiple appearances as the cover boy for ELLE Korea. Apart from that, the singer also represents Cartier and fronts their Panthère de Cartier campaign. BTS' V is also partnered with SimInvest as its brand ambassador, along with the homegrown giant Samsung.
On the work front, BTS has announced a full album comeback with all seven members onboard. The same will be released next spring, according to RM, who spoke to fans during a Weverse live, marking the first OT7 appearance in a while. RM emphasised that while the members will continue with their solo activities, they'll be mainly focused on the group's big comeback after three years. He also mentioned that fans might see fewer individual updates than before, but they'll do their best to keep everyone posted.

Park Bo Young wanted to run away on first day of Netflix's Our Unwritten Seoul: ‘I was scared viewers wouldn't see…'
Park Bo Young, in a recent interview with Dispatch Korea, opened up about the pressure she felt while signing on to Netflix's Our Unwritten Seoul. While the actor admitted that the script was too tempting to pass up and felt like the perfect opportunity to try something new in her career, she also confessed to feeling nervous and wanting to back out, worried that fans might not receive it well due to her heavy screen presence. Little did she know, the K-drama would end up dominating global OTT charts for weeks, with hitmakers like Squid Game, which recently dropped its third season. Also read: Our Unwritten Seoul first impression: Does Park Bo Young even need a male lead in her K-dramas anymore? Hailed for carrying the show on her shoulders with unmatched energy and talent, Park didn't just play twins, she portrayed four different versions of the same person. The actor managed to convey 'unknown' and 'future,' plus each pretending to be the other. Bo Young, who rose to fame with the rom-com Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, shared that despite spending so many years in the industry, it was not an easy task. Before filming even began, she admitted, 'I really wanted to run away.' But she couldn't resist the strong script and those comforting lines she believed viewers would connect with. She added, 'I was worried that viewers would think I was just appearing twice. I loved it when (the public) could distinguish between the future and the unknown.' In the K-drama, Bo Young plays Mirae, one of the twins, who is more responsible, hides her pain well, keeps her hair neat, and goes heavy on the eyeliner. Miji, on the other hand, is the exact opposite: loose strands, light liner, and not afraid to speak her mind or call out what's wrong. One works in a corporate firm in Seoul, the other lost her career as an athlete after an accident and has since been juggling multiple jobs to support her family. Their voices and body language are distinct as well. Mirae stays composed, while Miji moves more freely, more raw. Even when they switch places, Bo Young slips in small overlaps, never overplaying it. 'Ah! I really felt a lot of pressure. It was only after I agreed to do it that I thought, 'What have I done?' I wasn't sure I could pull it off. I struggled a lot on set and felt like a failure,' Bo Young recalled. 'It's been so long since my TV drama, but thankfully, there are so many good responses. I'm busy searching (for comments),' she added. Also read: Squid Game 3 ending: 7 burning questions answered in Netflix thriller finale; future possibilities explored Even on set, she revealed relying solely on her acting skills, given the technical hurdles. Twin scenes were shot with stunt doubles and later stitched together with CG, but sometimes she had to match eye levels alone and acted solo against nothing but imagination. She says, 'This was my first time doing something like this. It was really difficult, but I think I've grown a lot.' Bo Young's recent role comes after her praiseworthy performances in Concrete Utopia and Morning Comes to the Mental Ward, showing a change in her career trajectory from earlier rom-coms and softer roles. Meanwhile, she is also gearing up for her next series, Goldland, set to hit Disney+ screens. Park Bo Young has been acting since she was a teen, and it has already been 20 years for her in the industry, with shows like Healer, Daily Dose of Sunshine, Oh My Ghost, etc. She remembered the early days when directors scolded her so much she'd cry. 'I wondered if I was cut out for this,' she said. But thanks to those doubts, she kept going. Now, she sounds humble and grateful. 'Acting feels like it was my destiny,' she says. 'After twenty years, I feel like I've grown a little. I just want to keep conveying my heart when I read scripts.'

Korean pop-star Nana's belt game will make you rethink your boring tees
K-pop star Nana just schooled everyone on how to turn basic tees and sweatpants into a statement with one bold belt - here's why the Y2K belt trend is blowing up again! Let's be real - summer in our cities is all about staying cool, but who wants to look basic? Enter Nana, the K-pop queen who just dropped a style bomb on her socials. She's rocking the most chill combo ever: an oversized tee and sweatpants. But here's the twist - she throws on a bold, chunky belt and suddenly, she's not just comfy, she's a total trendsetter. It's like she's saying, "Who says belts are just for jeans?" Nana's look is proof that even your laziest outfit can go from 'meh' to 'wow' with the right accessory. And honestly, how many of us have tried to copy those Pinterest looks only to end up looking like we're headed to tuition? Nana's got the hack. The Y2K Belt Comeback - Not Just for Your Parents' Photos Remember those thick, statement belts from the early 2000s? Yeah, the ones our older cousins wore with literally everything. Well, they're back - and Nana's leading the charge. She pairs a black, bold belt with destroyed sweatpants (worth about ₹4,000) and suddenly, the whole vibe screams Y2K but with a 2025 twist. She doesn't stop there. For another look, she grabs a cropped tee, a denim shoulder bag, and the same belt, making the whole thing look effortless and super cool. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like La app de IA que está cambiando vidas — ¿por qué de repente está en todas partes?

How to Nail the Nana Belt Look (Without Trying Too Hard) So, how do you pull this off without looking like you raided your dad's closet? The trick is to keep everything else simple. Go for basic tees, joggers, or even shorts. Then, add a bold, chunky belt - the kind that makes people look twice. Don't bother with thin, boring belts. The point is to stand out, not blend in. And here's the fun part - you don't need to spend a bomb. Even a decent belt from your local market (₹500-₹1,000) can do the trick. Just make sure it's bold, maybe with a cool buckle or in a fun color. Pair it with your chillest outfit and boom, you're ready to slay. Why This Trend Feels So Relatable Honestly, Nana's belt game feels like that perfect mix of comfort and confidence. In a world where everyone's trying to look Insta-perfect, it's refreshing to see a celeb show us how to keep it real and stylish. It's like how we mix our mom's dupatta with jeans for a college fest - unexpected, but it just works. Fashion is all about having fun and owning your look, no matter what anyone says. So next time you're staring at your pile of basic tees and sweats, remember Nana's hack. Sometimes, all it takes is one bold move to turn your everyday into something epic. And hey, if you get compliments, you know who to thank. It's wild how style trends from Seoul can feel so close to home. Just like we love remixing old-school looks with our own twist, Nana's Y2K belt style is a reminder that fashion is all about self-expression - and a little bit of guts.
