From MAMA Win To The White House Speech: BTS' Top 10 Iconic Moments
Last Updated: The septet, comprising RM, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook, has broken barriers no one thought was possible for a K-pop group. BTS isn't just another K-pop band– they are a global phenomenon. From starting as underdogs over a decade ago to now being one of the most renowned musicians in the world, the seven members have come a long way. The septet, comprising RM, Jin, J-Hope, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook, has broken barriers no one thought was possible for a K-pop group. Before BTS reunites following a hiatus of nearly three years due to their mandatory military service, check out these 10 unforgettable moments that prove their global dominance and showcase their inspiring journey in the industry. Their First Major Win At MAMA 2016 No one could have imagined that BTS would win an award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards, let alone the title of Artist of the Year. That moment back in 2016 was a huge win for the septet. They came from a small company, worked their way to the top and finally got recognition for their hard work. First Billboard Win In 2017, BTS became the first K-pop group to win a Billboard Music Awards. They bagged the Top Social Artist honour, all thanks to their massive fandom called the ARMYs and their strong online presence. This moment proved that BTS was here to stay. Love Yourself: Tear Tops Billboard Chart BTS' sixth studio album, Love Yourself: Tear, made history as the first Korean-language album to reach #1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2018. It was not just a win for the septet but for Korean music on the global stage. It proved that language is not a barrier if the music has merit. BTS At The United Nations The septet partnered with UNICEF to launch the 'Love Myself" campaign in 2018. Through it, BTS wanted to spread the message of self-love and hope. RM, the group's leader, even spoke at the United Nations, encouraging young people to believe and accept themselves. Dynamite Scores Another Major Win On Billboard Chart Dynamite is BTS' first-ever full English song. Released during the COVID-19 pandemic, it became a beacon of hope and lifted spirits during those uncertain times. The single was loved so much that the group scored their first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. First Grammy Nomination Dynamite became such a hit across the world that BTS received a nomination in the 'Best Pop Duo/Group Performance" category at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. With this, they became the first Korean pop act to be nominated for one. This was a dream come true not just for the group but also for their fans. BTS' Butter Broke Records In 2021, when BTS released their second English-language single, Butter, it once again took over the world. The song did not just debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart but stayed at the same position for 10 weeks straight. Butter even broke some major records on YouTube. BTS' Appointment As Special Presidential Envoys The South Korean government appointed BTS as a special envoy for public diplomacy in 2021. They spoke at the UN General Assembly to represent the youth and promote sustainability and inclusivity. This unique blend of entertainment and politics showcased their impact as cultural ambassadors. Chapter 2 Of BTS In 2022, BTS released Proof, a nod to their journey in the industry so far. During FESTA '22, the septet announced that they would embark on their solo careers while still remaining a group. This transition marked a significant change in BTS but, at the same time, showcased their unity. BTS' Speech At The White House In June 2022, BTS was invited to the White House to speak about anti-Asian hate and racial discrimination. They talked about the importance of inclusion and respect. It was a powerful moment, where BTS showcased how to use their platform for the greater good. As for their reunion, BTS' Jin and J-Hope are already out of their military service, RM and V will be discharged on June 10, followed by Jimin and Jungkook on June 11. Suga will reportedly complete his mandatory service on June 21. First Published:

Box Office: Housefull 5 set to be widest Akshay Kumar release of all time; To arrive on 5000 screens in India
The much-awaited Housefull 5 is set to hit theaters with a bang, securing the widest release ever for a film in the popular comedy franchise. The movie will release in 5000 screens across India. This grand release puts Housefull 5 in a league of its own, even with strong competition like Mani Ratnam's Thug Life hitting theaters around the same time. Despite the clash, Housefull 5 has managed to lock in its impressive screen count. All that now matters is positive word of mouth and then it will be good to go. With a whopping budget of Rs 225 crore (excluding print and advertising costs), Housefull 5 is one of the biggest investments in the franchise yet. The good news for producers is that roughly Rs 135 crore has already been recovered through non-theatrical earnings like satellite rights, digital streaming, and music deals. This gives the film a solid financial cushion. However, to be declared a hit, Housefull 5 needs to aim high at the box office. The worldwide collection of Rs 325 crore or more is required to cover costs and deliver profits. With such a massive screen count, the stage is set for the film to draw huge crowds. What makes Housefull 5 even more exciting is the producers' bold experiment with its release. For the first time, the film will have two different versions, each featuring a different killer in its murder-mystery plot. This unique move has sparked curiosity among fans, adding a layer of intrigue to the already chaotic and fun Housefull universe. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 boasts a stellar cast, including Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, and more. The franchise has always been a crowd-pleaser, blending slapstick humor with over-the-top drama. This time, the stakes are higher with a bigger budget and a wider release. The 5000-screen rollout ensures the film reaches every corner of India, from metros to smaller towns. The makers are banking on the franchise's loyal fanbase and the festive season to drive footfalls. While Thug Life poses a challenge, Housefull 5 has carved out its space. The massive screen count shows the confidence distributors have in the film. If the comedy clicks and the dual-version gimmick pays off, Housefull 5 could set new benchmarks for the franchise. All eyes are now on the audience. Will they flock to theaters for this laughter-packed ride? Only time will tell, but the stage is set. Have you booked your tickets for Housefull 5 yet?
