Bo-gum said that one of the songs he listens to is Senorita and called it "really good". He shared how he met the group for the first met during the Music Bank World Tour two years ago.
The I-DLE members shared that they performed together on stage then. Park Bo-gum said, 'That's right. We sang Remember Me. I played the piano and you sang. We didn't have time to rehearse together, but when I heard Minnie's voice through the in-ear monitor, I was completely taken in.'

B. S. Dara: The Voice Indian Fiction Cannot Ignore
PNN New Delhi [India], August 19: B. S. Dara turned from concrete beams to sentences, from architecture to ache. Now he builds stories that hold what most people try to hide. Erotic. Emotional. Unforgiving. His Stories you swore you'd burn. His Books The Insatiable His debut novel, The Insatiable, was a storm of desire and consequence, earning praise from critics and a place in libraries that rarely open their shelves to debuts. Critics noticed. Readers felt seen. The book found its way into Top 10 Books of the Month by Delhi Wire, was among the Top 10 Books of Year 2024 to be considered worthy of Netflix series, was added to the Goodreads premier author category, and secured a place in the prestigious Qatar National Library collection, a rare honour for a debut writer. It marked Dara as someone willing to write love without filters, exposing the beauty and the damage in the same breath. Then came the second. I, You and Pune I, You and Pune is a love story that doesn't try to be one. It follows Ananya Sharma, an MBA graduate with deadlines in her calendar and damage in her chest. Enter Veer Singh. He opens doors, listens too well, kisses too deeply, and ruins her in all the quiet ways no one prepares you for. Sex mistaken for love, and love mistaken for freedom. They move in together. They make love. They fall apart. There's no happy ending. Just real ones. Set against rain-slicked streets of Pune, where loneliness feels louder than love, the novel doesn't give easy answers. It asks the harder questions: What do you do when love is real but not enough? How do you carry desire when it turns into recklessness? Click here to find "I, You and Pune" and "The Insatiable" by B. S. Dara on Amazon today. Writing Unfiltered. Unforgiving. Undone. Sensual. Stark. B. S. Dara undresses the wounds most writers avoid, love, loneliness, sex, shame, and writes them raw, wet, and unedited. No silk-draped love scenes, he writes intimacy like a commitment whispered mid-orgasm. His stories don't give you closure. They give you reminders. The Man Outside the Books Quiet in life, fearless on the page, Dara brings a rare emotional precision to Indian fiction. He writes of women who count the cost of staying, and men who only learn too late what they ruined. In a country where writers often reach for masks, Dara insists on unmasking. He has carved out a place in Indian fiction as a dangerous voice, one who writes the price of being real in a world that rewards pretending. Building His Place in Indian Literature Two books in, and B. S. Dara isn't just writing fiction, he's rewriting the anatomy of desire in Indian English literature. His stories have struck a chord with readers who know that love isn't always beautiful, that love isn't always tender. Sometimes it's unspoken. Sometimes it's wet. Sometimes it's brutal. And that's exactly why it matters "Quiet in life, dangerous in fiction--B. S. Dara is Indian literature's most precise knife."

BTS NOT most popular celebrity in South Korea? Surprising TV star takes over most influential list
BTS is a global icon when it comes to online presence and fan satisfaction. With the group's inclining upwards popularity internationally, they've often been dubbed 'living legends'. However, it seems that domestically, someone else is ruling the hearts and minds of civilians and experts. For the second year in a row, the Sisa Journal conducted a yearly survey that has placed the group at the penultimate spot on the list of the most influential figures in the entertainment industry. Surpassing BTS' standards is TV personality Yoo Jae Suk, who has remained the top pick from normal people as well as experienced professionals in the field. BTS gets one-upped by Yoo Jae Suk With a whopping 39 points difference in their standing, Yoo Jae Suk leads the list for the regular civilians, with over 70 points favoring him, while BTS stands at 31.4 points. They are followed by Kang Ho Dong, known for his hosting and variety skills often seen in shows like Ask Anything (Knowing Bros), with 13.8 points. Tied with him is singer-actress IU, coming in next with her portrayal in When Life Gives You Tangerines, aiding her fame. The top 10 is completed with Shin Dong Youp, Jun Hyun Moo, Lim Young Woong, BLACKPINK, Son Seok Hwi, and Kim Oh Jun. The expert list does not appear much different for the septet, as they trail behind Yoo Jae Suk with 23.6 points. Here, the top 3 bring in BLACKPINK with a fervor, followed by IU, Kang Ho Dong, Son Seok Hwi, Shin Dong Youp, Na Young Seok, Jun Hyun Moo, and Kim Oh Jun. Singer Lim Young Woong is not included in the professionals' list, replaced by Channel Full Moon producer Na PD. BTS' results have taken an improvement, with their civilian standing improving by around 12 points, probably thanks to the members' completed military services. The experts have regarded them in a similar ranking as last year, with a growth of only 1.6 points.
