BTS' J-Hope makes crowd ‘protest' with modest remark at PSY's SUMMER SWAG, takes off shirt earning wild reaction
Taking a short time to address the crowd, J-Hope implied that he was worried that people in the audience would not be aware of him as a solo artist. He claimed that while his team is well known, being aware of all seven members might be a bit of a stretch for the local audience. That invited an 'eyy' reaction from the audience, who protested his humble remark and were also surprised at how he did not know just how famous he actually was.
J-Hope gears up to get drenched at SUMMER SWAG
With a solo attempt of Killin' It Girl, MIC Drop, and Outro : Ego, he was able to showcase all his amazing skills of singing, dancing and rapping, proving why he's called a K-pop ace. The first one of them is his latest of three single releases, following the success of Sweet Dreams and MONA LISA. Soon, getting into the mood of the show, J-Hope took off his shirt-cum-jacket, which he wore over a white colored vest and let the water hit him from all sides. In true SUMMER SWAG style, he teased the fans, who in turn reacted with loud hooting, praising his cheeky side.
The BTS star recently wrapped his solo HOPE ON THE STAGE tour with encore concerts at Goyang. The penultimate show was attended by RM, Jin, SUGA, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, falling on the day of the group's 12th debut anniversary, which they were able to celebrate with the BTS ARMY. They are all set to work on new music soon, planning an album release in Spring 2026.

Are BTS clips ruining our movie viewing experience?
Photos of (L-R) Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway & Meryl Streep have flooded social media from The Devil Wears Prada 2 shoot in NYC In 2006, The Devil Wears Prada captivated audiences with its fresh, unspoiled charm. Now, as The Devil Wears Prada 2 shoots in New York, set photos of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are already flooding social media. This has prompted fans on X to lament the loss of surprise. What was once a stylish spectacle unveiled in the theatre is now pre-digested content. This flood of behind-the-scenes (BTS) material raises a larger question: is the magic of cinema being eroded by its own marketing machine? The chroma key problem Visual-effects-heavy films also suffer from overexposure. Dune (2021) used sand-colored 'sandscreens' instead of green to better match Arrakis's lighting. Deadpool & Wolverine relied on blue screens for multiverse sequences. Despite Marvel's usual misdirection, leaks of green screen footage dulled the impact of big reveals. Fans on social media stress that the illusion of epic scale can't survive if audiences have already seen the BTS BTS snap from Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning BTS or on-screen magic: What's more important? 'It's cool to know that Tom Cruise did the stunts himself' In Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Tom Cruise performed 16 parachute jumps. But a BTS featurette released pre-film spoiled the moment for many. 'It's not cool because it's a surprise — it's cool because he's actually doing the stunt,' said one Redditor, though others felt the reveal deepened their appreciation. The illusion of drama unraveled Emotional peaks are dulled by early reveals. In Heads of State, MI6 agent, played by Priyanka Chopra, is seen in a high-stakes scene at Spain's Tomatina Festival – but it was filmed in France using fake tomatoes and skin-safe jelly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3/4 BHK Flats ₹1.65 Cr onwards Honer Signatis Book Now Undo Such details don't make for immersive viewing. When the unreal is explained too soon, the magic of cinema risks falling flat. Had a great time shooting in France, recreating the Tomatina festival…They used jelly on my skin. The skilled crew made it look so real –Priyanka Chopra on the dramatic Tomatina Festival opening scene Artiste vs algorithm Not everyone mourns the mystery. Eshan Bose, an action movie fan from Kolkata, feels the tension is gone. 'When you already know how the stunt's done, it kills the moment. You admire the logistics, not feel the thrill,' he says. Aratrick Bhadra, a budding filmmaker, disagrees. 'Cinema isn't ruined by spoilers — it's elevated by curiosity,' he explains.

Just a day back, the Golden Maknae was seen in a picture with professional bodybuilder and Physical: 100 contestant Ma Sun Ho. What became the highlight of the photo was his full chest tattoo and sculpted arms. Once known for his baby face and sweet smile, Jungkook appeared stronger and more mature in the picture, which the bodybuilder shared on his Instagram account.

Why is BLACKPINK Rosé's 2022 selfie with Gal Gadot going viral now? Old pic resurfaces amid boycott backlash
Fanwars are nothing new in K-pop, but since the Israeli-Palestinian conflict began, even the smallest actions by idols -what they wear, drink, or post - have sparked outrage. BLACKPINK's Rosé is now under renewed scrutiny as fans resurface her 2022 photo with Gal Gadot, questioning why she's escaped backlash while others haven't. The controversy reignited after BTS' Jungkook appeared in a post-workout photo shared by his trainer, Ma Sun Ho. While most fans admired his new chest tattoo, some zoomed in on the Starbucks cup in his hand - leading to online uproar. This sparked fresh fanwars, with many calling out the double standards in how BTS and BLACKPINK idols are treated. Are Gal Gadot and Rosé associated? BLACKPINK's Rosé and Hollywood star Gal Gadot crossed paths at the Tiffany & Co. event in June 2022. The moment went viral when Gadot posted a glowing selfie with Rosé, calling her "sweet @roses_are_rosie" on her Instagram story - instantly sending fans into a frenzy. What was once celebrated as a charming celebrity crossover has now become a flashpoint. With Gadot facing mounting backlash over her political stance, Rosé is being dragged into the fire. The resurgence of the photo isn't due to any new development between the two - but because it's being repurposed in the middle of a heated boycott against Gadot, triggered by her vocal support for Israel. BLACKPINK's Rosé faces online backlash That backlash, which began in 2024 and intensified into 2025, has turned every past association of Gadot into ammunition - including this seemingly innocent selfie. Now, the resurfaced image has reignited online chaos. K-pop fans are questioning why Rosé is linked to such a polarizing figure. Why is no one cancelling Blackpink's Rosé for associating herself with Gal Gadot, an known IDF soldier who has participated in the killing and genocide of Palestinians. Or do you all only care about palestine when it comes to using it for your own benefit? the day Rosé proudly posed with Gal Gadot… a woman who served in the IDF — no one cared or tried to 'cancel' her because it's Rosé. just a reminder that everything didn't start on october 7, 2023… ROSÉ is besties with gal gadot— gal gadot is actively supporting the genocide of palestinians, blood on her hands! she was a former IOF (israeli occupation force) soldier. everyone knows this! but no one will bat an eye because it's blackpink. However, her fans argue that she's being unfairly targeted and shouldn't even be brought into the conversation, as the two met in 2022 - long before the boycotts began. Others, however, counter that the conflict between the two countries didn't start on October 7, 2023, but has been ongoing for years. ROSÉ new crime update: reposting a story that gal gadot posted 2736468 years ago at a randm event?? #freerosé More about BLACKPINK's Rosé At the moment, the idol is occupied with her group's ongoing world tour, DEADLINE, which kicked off on July 5, 2025, at Goyang Stadium in South Korea.
