BTS Festa returns — now fans are dreaming of seven-member comeback after two-year hiatus, as military service ends this month
This would pave the way for a possible group comeback after nearly two years, and a new album since Map of the Soul: 7 that was released back in 2020.
This comes as BTS Festa 2025 — an annual celebration of BTS' debut on June 13 — has been announced as taking place at Kintex in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
At least six of the seven members would finish their service by then — prompting fans to get buzzed over the possibility of surprise appearances, or special events involving the full group.
Korea Herald reported that members RM and V are scheduled to be discharged on June 10, followed by Jimin and Jungkook the next day.
Meanwhile Suga, who is serving his alternative duty as a social service worker, is expected to finish on June 21.
This concludes the enlistment period that began in December 2022. Member Jin, who was the first to enlist, has already completed his service and resumed individual activities along with J-Hope.
The paper also cited industry insiders saying that a full-group comeback may now come as early as the end of this year, or in the first half of 2026.
Jin most recently released the single 'Don't Say You Love Me', with a music video filmed at National Gallery Singapore, in collaboration with Singapore Tourism Board. His 'RunSeokjin Ep. Tour' will begin later this month.
Meanwhile, J-Hope just released the 'Mona Lisa' single, and is currently on his 'Hope on the Stage' world tour.

(Video) BTS' V Appointed As New Coca-Cola Ambassador; Draws Mixed Reactions
Just weeks after his discharge from the military, BTS (방탄소년단) member V (뷔) has added another role to his name – Coca-Cola's newest ambassador! The beverage company recently announced the news on its social media, sparking massive reactions from ARMYs across the globe. Earlier today (31st July 2025, Thursday), Coca-Cola Korea announced that BTS member V is joining them as the new brand ambassador for Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero. The partnership is part of the brand's 'Best Coke Ever' campaign. In celebration of his new ambassador role, the singer, whose full name is Kim Taehyung (김태형), also participated in photo shoots for magazines, posing with the iconic red can. In an interview with Eyes Magazine, the 30-year-old shared his thoughts about the collaboration, 'I am feeling the absolute best about working with Coca-Cola. I hope everyone can enjoy Coca-Cola Zero and show love and support for the brand!'. With this new collaboration, V takes over the ambassador role from girl group NJZ (formerly NewJeans), who promoted the brand in 2023. Fans and netizens have reacted to the new partnership, with many saying that the singer is a perfect fit for the brand. Many also say they look forward to seeing V in more Coca-Cola advertisements. Some also hope the partnership extends to other countries. However, V's collaboration with Coca-Cola also sparked criticism due to the ongoing boycott against brands allegedly complicit in Israel's illegal occupation and genocide of Palestine. Since the BDS Movement endorses a global boycott of Coca-Cola products, ARMYs are urging V to pull out from the partnership with the brand. However, Coca-Cola Company has issued a statement on their alleged support for Israel, writing, 'The Coca‑Cola Company does not support any country, government or policy, political or religious belief. In this context, the claim that Coca‑Cola's income is transferred to Israel is false.' In the meantime, ARMYs are congratulating V on his new endorsement. What are your thoughts on this? Will you be supporting this new collaboration? Check out some videos of V's photoshoot with Coca-Cola: Sources: Instagram, Twitter (1)(2)

As K-pop dominates the world, its home crowd is tuning out
SEOUL, July 31 — K-pop may be topping global charts and filling stadiums worldwide, but back home in South Korea, its shine appears to be fading. According to The Korea Herald, industry experts are raising concerns over the genre's weakening grip on the domestic market. Despite international success, K-pop is struggling to maintain momentum locally — especially with the lack of impactful rookie girl groups in early 2025, a key driver of fandom growth in past years. Citing the Circle Chart's 2025 Mid-Year Report, The Herald reported a 6.4 per cent drop in digital consumption for the top 400 songs, nearly 50 per cent below its 2019 peak. Physical album sales also declined by 9 per cent to 42.4 million units. Only seven albums surpassed the one million mark this year, down from nine in 2024. Experts say the industry's increasing focus on global audiences — through English-heavy lyrics and similar-sounding concepts — may be pushing local fans away. This global push is tiring local fans, Circle Chart's Kim Jin-woo said. Girl group dominance has also slipped. In 2024, five girl groups were in the Top 10. This year, only NewJeans, aespa and Ive made the cut, Kim told the paper. Meanwhile, solo acts are rising. Seven of the top 10 tracks in 2025 came from solo performers like Woodz and Hwang Garam — relatively unknown globally but resonating with Korean listeners. Critics argue that while idol music is flashy and energetic, it often lacks the emotional depth listeners now crave. 'Ballads or rock-inflected songs with strong melodic structure and individual expression are better suited for immersive listening,' music critic Lim Hee-yun was quoted as saying. Industry insiders warn that unless the domestic market is re-engaged, K-pop's long-term sustainability could be at risk — even as it thrives abroad.

#SHOWBIZ: The K-pop status shuffle: producers, power and reinvention
K-POP, a genre of popular Korean music performed by dance groups such as BTS and BlackPink, is known for its highly competitive landscape, with groups often reinventing their identities with their new song releases to maintain their popularity and fan base. New research has found that in South Korea, where entertainment agencies or producers play a dominant role in shaping the image of K-Pop groups, the agency's status affects the group's ability to change their style and music genre. Meanwhile, gender norms hinder female K-Pop groups from similar shifts in identity as they are expected to follow set trajectories, leaving little room for experimentation. Heeyon Kim, assistant professor at the Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration in the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, co-wrote 'Changing Tracks: How Status Affects Category Shifts in the Korean Popular Music Industry', published on July 11 in the 'Strategic Management Journal'. Her co-authors include Yoonjeoung Heo, an assistant professor at Xi'an Jiatong-Liverpool University, and Chi-Nien Chung, a professor at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Unlike in the Western music industry, where artistes often have creative control, K-Pop agencies oversee everything from an artiste's training to their performance and public image. The research team studied a sample of 122 K-Pop idol groups, including Super Junior, Girls' Generation, BlackPink, and 2PM, produced by 76 agencies from 2004 to 2016. They found that the status of entertainment agencies, as determined by industry awards, significantly influences how often and how radically their idol groups change their style and music genres, based on data from new song releases. For example, the group known as Big Bang, formerly managed by YG Entertainment, initially gained popularity with a rebellious identity. However, after a two-year hiatus, the group underwent a significant transformation in their concept, adopting a more experimental approach with their song 'Fantastic Baby' and later with 'Bang Bang Bang'. If a "youthful and rebellious" concept dominates the market, middle-status agencies are more likely to adjust their idol groups' style, music, and performance to match this trend. Their goal is to attract a wider audience without taking the creative risks that high-status agencies could afford, according to the research. In contrast, high-status entertainment agencies such as SM, JYP, and YG Entertainment tend to make more radical category shifts when they reposition their groups. This approach aligns with audience expectations for major agencies to act as trendsetters rather than followers. The effect of a producer's status is notably weaker for female idol groups due to institutional constraints and societal gender norms, Kim said. Female idols are often expected to adhere to predefined gender-normative stereotypical concepts, such as "cute and girlish" when they are young or "elegant and mature" as they grow older. Consequently, entertainment agencies have less flexibility in shifting the concepts of female groups compared with those of male groups. Male idol groups are more likely to undergo significant concept transformations, as their fan base tends to be more dedicated and accepting of shifts in artistic direction, the research found. In contrast, female idol groups rely more on appealing to the general public, making agencies hesitant to deviate from conventional concepts. For instance, a male group under a high-status agency might transition from a "bad boy" image to a "retro disco" theme, while a female group under the same agency is more likely to maintain a consistent aesthetic to avoid alienating mainstream audiences. "As the K-Pop industry continues to evolve," Kim said, "understanding these dynamics will be crucial for entertainment agencies seeking to navigate the competitive landscape while balancing audience expectations and creative expression".
