BTS surpasses 30 million Weverse subscribers ahead of 2025 comeback
K-pop phenomenon BTS has become the first artist to surpass 30 million subscribers on Weverse, setting a new benchmark for global fan engagement ahead of their highly anticipated comeback in spring 2025.
Hybe announced Saturday that more than 30 million fans have now joined the boy band's community on Weverse, a platform designed to facilitate direct interaction between artists and their followers. Through the service, fans can watch live broadcasts, chat with BTS members in real time and purchase concert tickets and official merchandise.
Available in 245 countries, Weverse recorded 10 million monthly active users in the first quarter of this year. Since its launch in June 2019, no artist other than BTS has reached this scale of following.
The platform hosts not only Hybe-affiliated acts but also artists from other K-pop agencies, along with actors, musical theater performers and international pop stars including Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa.
To mark the milestone, BTS member Jin left a brief message on the platform, writing, 'I was told to post something brag-worthy, so here it is.'
The group is currently preparing to release a new album in spring 2025, following the recent completion of mandatory military service by all members.
BTS also released its first live album, 'Permission to Dance on Stage – Live,' Friday, which captures the band's 2021–2022 concert series held in Seoul, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

[Exclusive] Big Bang's T.O.P talks with CJ ENM for solo comeback
Industry source says rapper is considering several partners for solo album slated for late 2025 T.O.P, a former member of K-pop boy band Big Bang, is said to be in discussions with CJ ENM over a potential exclusive contract to support his solo career, according to an industry source Wednesday. The rapper spoke last month about his plans to return as a solo artist this year during a promotional interview with an international media outlet. He is currently not signed to any agency. 'T.O.P is in talks with CJ ENM for a solo contract, including plans for a new solo album scheduled for release in the second half of this year,' the source told The Korea Herald on condition of anonymity. 'But among global music distributors, CJ ENM is just one of several options he is considering.' CJ ENM is a major Korean entertainment company with music subsidiaries under its wing such as WakeOne Entertainment and Stone Music Entertainment. It also operates Lapone Entertainment, a joint venture with the Japanese conglomerate Yoshimoto Kogyo, known for producing K-pop groups with Japanese members. It remains unclear which specific label under CJ ENM is involved in the talks. When asked for comment, CJ ENM denied any such discussions. 'There have been no talks regarding an exclusive contract or comeback with T.O.P,' a CJ ENM official said. T.O.P parted ways with YG Entertainment in February 2022 after his exclusive contract ended, and in May 2023, he officially withdrew from Big Bang, stating he was entering a new chapter in his life. Since then, he has been pursuing solo activities independently — mostly acting. The rapper-turned-actor made his return to the screen last December in Netflix's 'Squid Game' Season 2, playing a former rapper named 'Thanos.' It marked his first major public appearance since receiving a suspended prison sentence in 2017 for marijuana use — a case that led to a hiatus from the entertainment industry and his eventual departure from Big Bang. In a local interview earlier this year, T.O.P publicly apologized for the controversy, signaling a desire to resume his career. 'For the past 10 years, I've only been going back and forth between my home and my music studio,' he said in January. 'I made a lot of songs. There's no exact release plan yet, but I do have something in mind for the near future." While he has yet to release any new music, fans have been anticipating a musical comeback. His most recent solo release was the single 'Doom Dada,' which dropped in November 2013. Meanwhile, Big Bang is set to mark its 20th anniversary next year. The iconic group first burst onto the K-pop scene in August 2006 and went on to become one of its most influential acts.

Korean selected as guest language of 2026 Avignon Festival
Next year's French festival to spotlight performing arts beyond K-culture hype The Avignon Festival, one of the world's most vibrant performing arts festivals, announced Wednesday that it has selected Korean as its official guest language for the 2026 edition. This is the first time an Asian language has been chosen as the guest language. 'The Avignon Festival welcomes an Asian language that is now enjoying worldwide popularity. South Korean culture fascinates the world: K-pop, cinema, series, literature. But beyond this soft power, we want to show the richness of Korean performing arts,' the Avignon Festival said in its announcement on Facebook on Tuesday. Held annually in July in the historic city of Avignon, the festival, founded in 1947, attracts more than 100,000 visitors and showcases performances spanning theater, dance, music and interdisciplinary works. The guest language initiative was introduced by current artistic director Tiago Rodrigues to spotlight the arts and culture of a specific linguistic region. The previous guest languages were English (2023), Spanish (2024) and Arabic (2025). With the guest language selected, a slew of Korean theater works are expected to be invited to the festival's IN (main) program. The Korea Arts Management Service, as the official partner, is working closely with the Avignon Festival on a co-curated program. Whereas the OFF section is open to independent participation, the IN program is curated by the festival. This will mark the first time in 28 years that Korean works are officially invited to the IN program, following the 1998 'Desire of Asia (Desir d'Asie)' project. Rodrigues' decision follows his visit to Korea in October 2023, when he attended the Seoul Performing Arts Festival, organized by KAMS. During the trip, he also performed his work "By Heart," a piece centered on memorizing poetry. "There's something about the power of trying to translate, trying to understand the other, which is extremely important nowadays in theater — but also in society,' Rodrigues said in the 2023 interview with The Korea Herald. 'This is a rare opportunity to share the emotional depth, experimental energy and spirit of Korean performing arts with the world,' said Kim Jang-ho, president of KAMS. 'Through continued exchange between Avignon and SPAF, we aim to strengthen the international ecosystem for Korean performing arts and expand cultural dialogue through the medium of language.'

These Korean grad photos might be the best thing online today
Korean high school students are often known for their intense academic competition, but that doesn't mean they've lost their sense of humor. Uijeongbu High School in Gyeonggi Province, which goes viral every year for its quirky graduation photos, is once again breaking the internet after posting this year's batch Tuesday on Instagram. The all-boys school has gained fame both in Korea and abroad for its unique yearbook tradition, which began in 2009. Each year, students dress up to reflect current trends, viral moments or iconic figures in Korean pop culture. Among this year's standout costumes were two students who recreated a screen capture of Hybe Chairman Bang Si-hyuk and internet personality BJ Kwajeup Seyeon, who were spotted crossing a Beverly Hills street last August in a YouTube video. One student wore a bob wig along with a patterned tube top and miniskirt, while the other sported a blue knit sweater, beige pants and sunglasses, which perfectly mimicked the original look. Other pop culture figures also made appearances, including Blackpink's Rose and Bruno Mars from their 'APT.' music video. Students also got creative with costumes that resemble dancer Kyoka's look from 'Street Woman Fighter,' a Buldak Ramen package, and even characters from the Japanese game Pikmin. One student took a more satirical approach, dressing up as a USIM card, referencing the crisis at telecom giant SK Telecom caused by a massive hacking incident in April. Meanwhile, the school said it is working closely with students to pre-approve concepts before the shoot to prevent misunderstandings. Back in 2020, broadcaster Sam Okyere criticized a student's parody of a meme featuring Ghanaians, calling it racially insensitive. In another case, a student sparked backlash from fans after dressing up as singer Park Yoo-chun, who at the time was accused of sexual assault.
