BTS' Jungkook's funny caricature of Jimin on Vietnam vacation has J-Hope losing it, fans want duo to ‘never change'
BTS' Jimin and Jungkook are inseparable. After enlisting in the military together under the buddy system and spending their time in service at the same base, the two have seemingly gone on a vacation around the world before reuniting with fellow bandmates. A new update from Jimin shows how the two are passing time, drawing each other, and basically being in their element, letting go of any worries. Jungkook's latest caricature of his hyung has bemused everyone, but especially J-Hope, who dropped an unending amount of laughing emojis on his post within minutes of the singer's update. Jimin 'came home' to his fans on June 26, with a new post on his scarcely updated Instagram account. Captioned 'Jay Kay', a nickname for fellow BTS member Jungkook, the photo showed a drawing made by the Still With You singer for his older friend. In the photo, the Promise singer appeared to be concentrating on something very hard, with wrinkles forming on his forehead and a post-military swollen face taking up most of the screen. Little hair and his signature plump lips affirmed the fans' belief that it was none other than Jimin in the drawing. The BTS ARMY hilariously reacted to the stars' exchange on social media, praising their camaraderie. Jimin, Jungkook and RM's vacations after completing military service Known for his artistry, Jungkook, who is said to be on vacation with him, penned the caricature, capturing the most important bits of his bandmate. The two were previously said to be in Switzerland, where fellow member RM went for a talk at the 2025 Art Basel. Following this, onlookers reported that the duo had moved to Vietnam for a private, quiet trip alongside limited BIGHIT MUSIC personnel for a relaxing time. It is also rumored that the two are filming content on their trip, believed to be the second season of their travel variety show, Are You Sure? Fans are also speculating that the Indigo star would be joining them this time around, with filming staff being spotted on their journey.

Brad Pitt recalls the need for a reboot during 2016 divorce; Angelina Jolie doesn't buy a thing
Brad Pitt , the 'F1' star, raised a couple of eyebrows after mentioning his first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, and claimed that he needed to 'reboot' from the difficult time after the explosive split from Angelia Jolie in 2016. Brad Pitt needed rebooting... In a conversation with Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast, the 61-year-old highlighted what made him get into his car and drive to seek help. 'I was on my knees. I needed to wake the f— up,' he said, before adding, 'I was trying anything and everything, anything anyone threw at me. It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting," according to Radar Online. Angelina Jolie doesn't buy a thing... During the conversation, Pitt appreciated the AA program, as he was inspired by the vulnerability of other men, who helped him get his pieces back after hitting rock bottom. However, the sources suggest that Angelina Jolie doesn't buy a thing. Not only is Jolie hesitant to believe his words, but she is also furious that Pitt's suggestion that their divorce drove him to the program. Hollywood insider Rob Shuter has a source who stated that Pitt's speech feels like more of a PR sham, and not personal growth. 'She doesn't think a podcast fixes everything. Brad's version plays well to the public, but behind the scenes, it's still a mess,' they added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The source further added that while Brad Pitt has been making headlines with his much younger girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, and promoting his brand-new sports film, Jolie has been looking after their six children: Pax, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. What happened in the infamous private jet incident? Previously, the 50-year-old allegedly claimed that the 'Fight Club' star's substance use led to the divorce, accusing him of physical abuse. During the private jet, Jolie claimed that Pitt grabbed her by the head and shook her, and further choked one of their children, pushing another when they tried to mediate.
