BTS RM and Jungkook can't get over Taehyung's post-military transformation; ARMY says: 'The way they can't stop…'
During a recent back-to-back run of livestreams, RM, Jungkook, and V (Taehyung) dubbed themselves the 'workout crew', while making it very clear that one of them had leveled up far beyond the rest.'Shocking news! Kim Taehyung is stronger than me,' RM declared mid-live, with Jungkook quickly agreeing: 'He's stronger than me too.' The two couldn't stop raving about how V had completely transformed during his military service, especially after serving in the elite Special Duty Team (SDT) — South Korea's counter-terrorism unit known for its intense physical and mental training.
While RM and Jungkook admitted they've stuck to mostly bodyweight workouts, Taehyung went full throttle with weight training. 'He's bigger than us. We can't even finish the sets he does now,' RM added. V, ever humble, laughed off the hype and insisted, 'You guys just started again. I've been consistent.' But his discipline clearly paid off — Taehyung has not only become physically stronger, he also achieved Sergeant rank, earned the elite Special Warrior badge, and was recognised as an ace marksman. For the next year, his name will be etched into the SDT's Hall of Fame.
'Taehyung was lifting weights in the Special Forces. He's way ahead,'RM said. 'I go every day at 9:30 now, but what Taehyung is doing is insane. I'd lose to him in a fight.' Fans are loving this transformation. Once known as the soft-spoken, sensitive 'Winter Bear,' V is now being called a 'real-life action hero.' 'The way they can't stop talking about Taehyung's physique 😭,' was one comment under a post. One more comment said, 'The bulk line is getting competitive, oh no 🥵.' Another claimed, 'These 3 are on mission to become HULKS.'
While Suga has been laying low, and J-Hope and Jin are busy headlining solo shows in Tokyo and Berlin, the rest of the group — RM, V, Jungkook, and Jimin — have been consistently showing up on livestreams, casually dropping gems like this. And as if things couldn't get more exciting, all seven members are now in the U.S., reportedly working on music together. J-Hope and Jin are expected to join the others in Los Angeles soon — making fans believe that something big, apart from Tae's biceps, is brewing.

Anupam Kher is unbothered by Saiyaara demolishing his film Tanvi The Great at box office: ‘Agar paisa hi sab kuch hota…'
Actor Anupam Kher's directorial Tanvi The Great released in theatres on the same day as Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara. While Saiyaara became a massive commercial success, raking in ₹500 crore worldwide, Anupam's film earned only ₹2.52 crore. Now, in an interview with News18, Anupam said that he's unbothered by Tanvi: The Great's box office performance, as films are about emotions and not earnings. Anupam Kher reacts to Tanvi The Great failing at box office due to Saiyaara's craze. Anupam Kher on Tanvi The Great the box office failure When asked if he thinks Saiyaara's craze led to Tanvi The Great failing at the box office, Anupam said, "I don't believe that's true. A few years down the line, when someone will ask you what are your five favourite films, you won't name the ones based on which of these movies made a business worth crores. You'll name the ones which touched your hearts. Maybe Tanvi The Great didn't mint much money, but it is still priceless." The actor further explained how money is not everything and said, "I recently met a lady outside the theatre who hugged me tightly and started crying, saying this was the best film she has ever watched. You don't value everything based only on money. Agar paisa hi sab kuch hota toh phir log hamesha five star hotel me hi khate na, dhaba koi kyu jata (If money was everything, then people would always eat at five-star hotels—why would anyone go to a roadside dhaba?). My film is outstanding commercially." About Tanvi The Great The film tells the story of Tanvi Raina, a 21‑year‑old woman on the autism spectrum, portrayed by newcomer Shubhangi Dutt. Driven by her late Army officer father's unfulfilled dream to salute the Indian flag atop the Siachen Glacier, she embarks on a determined journey to join the Army herself—despite societal and institutional hurdles. While the acting of the cast was appreciated, some critics were disappointed with the execution of the film. The film, which also featured Iain Glen, Jackie Shroff, Pallavi Joshi, Arvind Swami and Nassar in key roles, managed to collect only ₹2.52 crore at the box office. About Saiyaara Saiyaara, on the other hand, emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of 2025 and the biggest romantic film ever in Indian cinema, collecting ₹500 crore worldwide and ₹304 crore at the domestic box office. Helmed by Mohit Suri, the film marked Ahaan Panday's debut alongside Aneet Padda in the lead role.

BTS J-Hope's Sister Jung Ji-woo Slams ‘Pregnancy' Rumours: ‘Getting Out Of Hand'
Ji-woo, who has been married since 2021, has previously shared that she and her husband are planning to start a family. BTS member J-Hope's sister, Jung Ji-woo, has taken a strong stand against invasive and inappropriate social media comments regarding her personal life. The influencer and entrepreneur recently called out a section of internet users for spreading baseless rumours about her pregnancy and questioning her choices, calling the situation 'out of hand." In a pointed message shared via Instagram Stories, Ji-woo highlighted one particularly offensive comment that read in Korean, 'Aren't you pregnant? Or you lost the baby? There is no bump and you are wearing tight clothes and doing exercise," accompanied by a sad emoji. Shocked by the unsolicited speculation, she responded, '…? Was about to reply, but the comment disappeared. We're trying for a baby, but there's nothing to share yet. Still, I'm honestly shocked that someone I don't even know could ask such a personal and inappropriate question about our private life. Even my close friends wouldn't go there." She continued to express her frustration at the baseless rumours swirling around her. 'When did I ever say 'I'm pregnant'? I've said nothing, but some people here are making up stories like they're confirmed facts. Now it's gone from 'she's pregnant' to 'she had a miscarriage' to 'she's out drinking'? Seriously?" Ji-woo added, 'I've been ignoring it because it's so far from the truth, but it's getting out of hand. Show some respect, please." Ji-woo, who has been married since 2021, has previously shared that she and her husband are planning to start a family. In a March 2025 chat with her younger brother J-Hope, she openly talked about wanting a baby, a moment that was met with warmth and excitement. J-Hope had said at the time, 'If it's a nephew, I anticipate having so much fun with him," and added that he'd spoil a niece with gifts.
