YEONCHEON, South Korea (AP) — Hundreds of fans gathered Wednesday to catch a glimpse of K-pop superstars Jimin and Jung Kook, the latest and final members of BTS to be discharged from South Korea's mandatory military service. Supporters traveled from around the world to the public sports ground where the meet-and-greet took place. Color-wrapped buses bearing BTS members' faces lined the streets while red and yellow balloons floated above and a decorated food truck provided free coffee and water, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Beyond The Gates Recap: Kat Plants Evidence to Implicate Leslie
Beyond The Gates Recap: Kat Plants Evidence to Implicate Leslie originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Beyond The Gates recap: Bill's Law Firm: Tomas and Caroline are discussing how Bill collapsed and is back at the hospital. She asks about the woman who left a message identifying herself as Eva's mother. Garfield Memorial Hospital - Lobby: Naomi is talking to Jacob about her father's weakened condition. She admits he's better and she says Chelsa and Ashley are there with her. Garfield Memorial Hospital – Bill's Room: The doctor (who is Chelea's crush Madison) is giving Bill a stroke protocol test and notes he's not fully back to normal. Garfield Memorial Hospital – Lobby: Chelsea and Naomi see Bill and has Ashley give them an update. Ashley says he's on his way to get a scan, but the results might be slow to return. They wheel Bill off, and Chelea can't believe Hayley didn't call them. Naomi admits Hayley is problematic but says they need to work with her. Orphey Gene's: Derek runs into Andre and asks about Leslie. He notes he saw Leslie grill Ashley and thinks she is dangerous. Hotel – Eva's Room: Nicole arrives to see Eva. She tries to be accommodating, and Nicole asks why she met with Laura. Eva explains she wanted to help but Nicole is reluctant to believe her. Nicole says she knows certain people never admit defeat and notes the bond between mother and daughter is strong. Eva thinks it would be wrong of her to abandon her mother when she is her current mental state. She is all her mother has in this world. Nicole offers some advice and tells her to value her safety and self-worth of all others. Eva notes Ted would have said the same thing and says how in-sync the two still are. Nicole starts to make her way out when Eva says she hates what she and her mother did to split up her marriage. Nicole says she doesn't need an apology. Eva gets it and says she wants her and Ted to work things out and Nicole accepts her apology. With that, she exits. Leslie's Apartment: Kat arrives to see Leslie, who assumes she's there to apologize. Leslie does her best Anita impression about manners and then says she was wrong to say Eva ran Laura off the road. She notes they didn't find anything when the police searched her place. Kat says she wants mutual surrender. She says she has decided to accept the fact that Leslie and Eva have destroyed the evidence connecting them to Laura's accident. Just then, Leslie gets a call and tells Kat to stand back while she takes it. On the other end, Tomas asks what she needs. Leslie says she wants to meet face to face, and they agree to meet at Orphey Gene's. While Leslie finishes her call, Kat opens the window. After a little back and forth snark, Kat makes her exit. Garfield Memorial Hospital – Bill's Room: Naomi and Chelsea walk in. Hayley runs up and embraces Naomi saying how scared she's been for Bill. Naomi looks around at Chelea who is rolling her eyes. Chelsea asks what the doctor said, and Hayley says they think it's a stroke. Hayley tells them what happened at home and Naomi assures her that she is not to blame for what happened to her father. Hayley thanks them for their kindness. Just then, Dani opens the door and sees her daughters being nice to her enemy. Police Station: Derek arrives to ask Jacob about Leslie. He tells him about Leslie's conversation with Ashley and how she's making it look like the Duprees are trying to frame her for Laura's accident. Jacob says Leslie is at the top of his most wanted list. Just then, he gets a text about the case and asks Derek to go with him (why?). Orphey Gene's: Tomas and Leslie meet up. She says Eva has such wonderful things to say about Tomas. He inquires and Leslie says she is nothing but innocent. That being said, she knows how the rich folks always have a fixer. Tomas rightfully assumes Leslie is asking her to be just that. Leslie needs Kat to back down as she's a wee obsessed with her. She talks about their recent encounter and says calling the police will do no good. Tomas can't imagine why he would ever help her. Leslie asks him to help her with the order of protection as she needs protection from that gutter snipe. Tomas turns her down and Leslie gives him all the information about Eva's crush. She says she advised Eva against messing with him before but now thinks they belong together. Tomas says Leslie should lose his number. She ignores him and says Eva is a good girl who could be his queen. With that, Tomas exits. Just then, Jacob and Derek enter. They take a seat beside Leslie when Kat walks in. They all get very snarky before Leslie makes her exit. Kat waits for Derek to exit before Kat returns to the table. She tells Jacob she has another theory. Garfield Memorial Hospital – Lobby: Naomi and Chelsea are gathered with Chelsea when Bill returns from his scan. Ashley wheels him back to his room as they all agree to stay close. Garfield Memorial Hospital – Bill's Room: Ashley exits leaving Dani and Hayley in the room with Bill. Hayley watches as Dani tells Bill what he will and won't be doing. He agrees to do as he's told as Hayley takes his hand. Dr Montgomery returns and introduces herself to Chelsea, as if they aren't already intimately familiar. She tells Bill and his family he had a small stroke which impacted his brain stem. Dani asks about a time frame, and she says six to eight months. Bill will be in the hospital for a few days. If he cooperates, the timeline can accelerate. Garfield Memorial Hospital – Lobby: Andre arrives, and Ashley fills him in Bill's condition and her uncomfortable conversation with Leslie. Chelsea catches up with Madison and she says she didn't know if she was out to her family. Chelsea pushes for details and Madison says she is very professional and logical at work. She says how nervous she is to be interacting with a supermodel. Chelsea does her best to calm her nerves before Madison exits. Leslie's Apartment: Kat returns and climbs in the window she previously opened. She sneaks in and hides the bag in a storage area (Hey Tide!). Kat places everything else back in its place (including Tide!) and makes her exit. Hotel – Eva's Room: Leslie arrives in a panic. She begins searching the room saying she needs her daughter to hand over the helmet and gloves. Previous Beyond The Gates Recap: Endings Chelsea returns and they all ask why she went out to get water and returned with nothing. Dani exits and Chelsea crosses to help her father sit up. Ashley and Derek head out leaving Andre behind. Just then, Dani arrives. Andre says he wants to take care of her, and they agree to meet up in a few minutes. Nicole arrives and Dani provides a full update. She looks around and notes Andre's presence and Dani's reaction to him. Kat tells Jacob that Leslie always has to be the smartest person in the room. She thinks the smartest place for her to hide evidence is in her apartment as he wouldn't get a second search warrant for the same location. Jacob agrees to go back to the judge (why isn't Jacob questioning Kat's suddenly revised theory). Eva won't give Leslie the evidence and says she will continue to protect her. With that, Leslie reluctantly agrees to exit. After she leaves, Eva looks under her bed and finds the bag has disappeared. Keep checking back for the latest Beyond The Gates recaps! This story was originally reported by Daytime Confidential on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.
