BTS member V, aka Kim Taehyung, has been treating fans to glimpses of his life since his military discharge on June 10. On Saturday, he shared a new Instagram post capturing moments from his military discharge celebration with close friends, including Wooga Squad member Park Seo Joon. But shortly after it went up, many fans noticed the post had seemingly disappeared. While some assumed Taehyung had deleted it, that's not the case. The post is still live on his account, but it's hidden in several regions due to Instagram's content restrictions. Why is Kim Taehyung's post restricted by Instagram?
According to fans and social media watchers, the post is likely being limited because it features a wine bottle. Instagram tends to restrict visibility in countries with stricter guidelines around alcohol-related content, especially when it's tied to public figures. The post hasn't violated any rules, but regional policies around alcohol consumption may have triggered the filter. This isn't the first time a celebrity has faced such an issue—similar restrictions have affected other K-pop idols and influencers before.
The post features Taehyung celebrating his military discharge with a cake among friends, along with several candid moments, like him casually balancing a wine glass on his head, walking down the street with a glass in hand, and a lineup of empty wine bottles in the background.

As word spread that the Layover hitmaker's post wasn't actually deleted, fans jumped into action. Those who can still view it are being encouraged to like, comment, save, and share the post to keep it active in the algorithm.

Interestingly, Taehyung recently hinted during a live broadcast that something new is on the way. While he didn't spill any details, his latest post featuring rows of wine bottles has led fans to speculate: is he planning to launch his own wine brand? Or could he be collaborating with—or becoming the ambassador for—a luxury wine label? Nothing's confirmed yet, but the timing and aesthetic have definitely raised eyebrows among fans.
With his military service officially behind him, Taehyung seems ready to step into his next chapter, one Instagram post at a time. Whether he's teasing a new brand, a creative project, or just sharing memories with friends, fans are here for it. And if Instagram's algorithm tries to hide it, ARMYs are ready to make sure it stays seen.

Weekly Top Korean News: BTS hints at 2026 comeback, THE BOYZ removes Ju Haknyeon, V and Jungkook prep for new projects, more
This week in K-entertainment brought a storm of headlines, from legal battles and shocking admissions to potential collaborations and long-awaited reunions. Former THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon has challenged his agency's claims about his exit. Meanwhile, BTS' V teased a mysterious project that has fans screaming Squid Game. And Jungkook might just be cooking up another hit with DJ Snake. Also, ex-NCT Taeil admitted to serious charges, and BTS' comeback timeline remains unclear. Read on to get all the deets. Ju claims forced exit from THE BOYZ Ju Haknyeon, former member of THE BOYZ, has broken his silence to share his version of the events surrounding his sudden departure from the group. In a detailed Instagram post, he claimed he never agreed to terminate his contract with ONE HUNDRED and called the agency's decision one-sided. He also denied any involvement in 'illegal activity.' He rejected reports that linked him to such allegations following his meeting with former Japanese actress Asuka Kirara. Ju expressed emotional distress over being branded unfairly and announced plans for legal action against media outlets spreading false claims. He vowed to fight for accountability. Meanwhile, ONE HUNDRED has responded, stating that Ju is distorting facts and insisting their decision was based on valid grounds. Is BTS' V joining Squid Game 3? BTS' V, also known as Kim Taehyung, recently held a Weverse livestream where he hinted at a mysterious new project he's been working on since his military discharge. Though he downplayed its importance, fans believe it could be something major, possibly a cameo in Squid Game Season 3. Theories gained momentum due to his past appearance in a Squid Game costume and his friendships with lead actors Lee Jung Jae and Im Siwan. Others suspect a solo music release or even a brand launch might be on the horizon. For now, fans eagerly await V's next move, hoping to see 'actor Taehyung' return to screens in a big way. Jungkook x DJ Snake: New collab soon? On June 16, BTS' Jungkook was spotted heading to the U.S. It sparked buzz among fans, especially after French DJ and producer DJ Snake revealed he's also in New York. Their unexpected overlap fueled speculation of a second collaboration, following their 2023 track Please Don't Change from Jungkook's debut album GOLDEN. DJ Snake's interaction with fans online, including liking a tweet about Jungkook being in NYC, added to the excitement. While nothing is confirmed, fans believe they might be working on a new track or planning a surprise performance. Many also speculate Jungkook's second solo album or world tour could be in the works ahead of BTS' full reunion in 2026. Ex-NCT's Taeil admits to charges Former NCT member Moon Taeil is facing serious legal consequences after admitting to misconduct involving an intoxicated foreign woman, alongside two others. During the first trial on June 18, all three defendants confessed to the charges. The prosecution has demanded a 7-year prison sentence for each, citing KakaoTalk messages that suggested the act was premeditated. These messages included discussions about moving the victim and preventing her from falling asleep. The victim's side has also requested a 10-year employment ban for Taeil. While the defense claimed the crime was unintentional and highlighted Taeil's surrender and settlement with the victim, the court is expected to deliver its final verdict on July 10, 2025. BTS comeback in 2026? BTS has officially completed military service as a full group, with SUGA being the last member discharged on June 21. And recently, a report from The Korea Herald claimed BTS was planning a full-group comeback in March 2026. It cites insiders who detailed a mid-March album release aligned with other HYBE group schedules. It was also alleged that BELIFT LAB's ENHYPEN had shifted their release to January to avoid overlapping with BTS. However, BIGHIT MUSIC has stepped in to clarify the rumors. In a statement, the agency stated that no final decision has been made regarding BTS' comeback timeline. They dismissed the comeback reports as unconfirmed. Fans continue to await official updates. NewJeans loses appeal In a significant setback for NewJeans, the Seoul High Court has rejected the group's appeal to lift restrictions on independent activities outside of ADOR. The decision upholds a previous injunction that grants ADOR full control over NewJeans' promotions, music production, and collaborations. It effectively banned the group from operating under their NJZ brand without agency approval. The legal dispute stems from broken trust between the members and ADOR, with the girls' side confirming reconciliation is no longer possible. The next court hearing over their exclusive contract dispute is set for July 24, 2025.

Riteish Deshmukh Pushes Away Young Fan As He Tries To Get Selfie, Internet Reacts Angrily
Last Updated: At the premiere of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, Riteish Deshmukh was seen pushing away a young fan attempting a selfie. At the recent premiere of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, a video of actor Riteish Deshmukh left fans surprised — and not in a good way. Riteish, who is often praised alongside wife Genelia D'Souza for being kind and approachable, was seen pushing away a young fan who tried to take a selfie with the couple. In the clip that is going viral online now, Riteish is seen holding Genelia's hand and guiding her through a crowd towards the screening venue. A young boy in the crowd steps forward with his phone to click a selfie. However, Riteish is seen pushing the boy's hand down and walking away without acknowledging him. The child appears visibly disappointed. Take a look at the video below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sanjay Tiwari (@bollywoodhelpline) The moment quickly went viral on social media, with many users calling out the actor. Several social media users expressed disappointment over Riteish Deshmukh's behaviour in the viral video. 'First time mujhe Ritesh ka attitude pasand nhi aaya (For the first time, I didn't like Riteish's attitude)," one person commented. Another added, 'Not expected from Ritesh. Very wrong attitude. Sorry, unfollowing you now." One user even tagged the actor directly and wrote, 'Imagine his parents had sent him to take a photo with you. The kid came politely to take a selfie — what was wrong with that? Stay humble bhai, you won't lose anything." Others called the gesture 'rude" and 'disappointing," with one message reading, 'That was incredibly rude. Are these your true colours? Your facial expressions and attitude say a lot — and not in a good way. I expected a grown man to show more self-control and maturity. It wouldn't hurt to stay grounded and respectful." Riteish Deshmukh was last seen in Housefull 5, where he reunited with Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, and an ensemble cast for the latest installment of the popular comedy franchise. Meanwhile, his wife Genelia D'Souza returned to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, which hit theatres this Friday. The film features her opposite Aamir Khan. Riteish Deshmukh had earlier showered high praise on Sitaare Zameen Par, which released in theatres on 20th June. He called it the 'best film of the year', and said that it leaves you a better human being. He praised Aamir, praising his 'incredibly nuanced' performance. Riteish also showered praise on his wife Genelia Deshmukh, saying that she is 'pure magic' on screen, and that he is a genuine fan of her craft. However, he said that the 'true' sitaare of this film are the children who stole the show with their phenomenal performances. First Published:
