Did BTS' V have a dinner date with IU? Viral picture raises speculation among fans
— nananajinnah (@nananajinnah)
Whispers of a budding connection between BTS icon V and beloved K-pop singer IU are swirling across fan communities, setting the internet ablaze with theories and hopeful curiosity. The speculation took flight after snapshots emerged of V sharing an intimate meal with a mystery woman at a luxurious restaurant in Seoul.While her face remained obscured, keen-eyed admirers were quick to suggest that the woman in question was none other than IU, citing similarities in attire and physique as clues.Adding fuel to the flames, IU celebrated her 32nd birthday on May 16. Just two days before, on May 14, she had been seen during a live broadcast wearing a distinctive top—eerily similar to the one worn by the woman accompanying V at dinner.Despite V currently fulfilling his mandatory military service, devoted fans believe he may have been granted leave to spend time with IU on her special day. This possibility has only heightened suspicions that the two may have shared a private birthday celebration, away from the public eye.According to a report by The Korea Times, the dinner date took place at Mosu, an upscale fine-dining establishment renowned for its exquisite menu and sophisticated ambiance. Helmed by acclaimed chef Ahn Sung-jae—known for his role as a judge on the Netflix cooking competition Culinary Class Wars—Mosu offers an exclusive 420,000 won (approximately $310 USD) tasting menu. The luxurious setting added another layer of intrigue to an already tantalizing narrative.Skeptics were quick to raise eyebrows, especially given IU's ongoing relationship with actor Lee Jong Suk, who was noticeably absent from the evening. However, much of the doubt was dispelled when it was clarified that V and the woman were joined by 2AM's Seulong and another female companion, indicating the dinner may have been more friendly than romantic.The foundation of the IU-V connection traces back to earlier this year, when V starred alongside IU in her emotionally charged music video 'Love Wins All'. Set against a dystopian backdrop, the video followed a couple's journey through despair and hope, with both artists delivering powerful performances that captivated millions. The chemistry they exhibited onscreen sparked widespread admiration and led many to wonder if their connection extended beyond the studio.Their bond didn't stop there. V was later spotted attending IU's encore concert in September 2023, reinforcing notions of a close friendship. Since then, the two have occasionally crossed paths in subtle ways, each appearance stirring new conversations among fans.Meanwhile, IU is gearing up for her much-anticipated album Flower Bookmark 3, the next installment in her sentimental cover series. Set to release on May 27, the album will also feature a guest appearance by ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo in the accompanying music video.While the truth behind the dinner date remains a mystery, one thing is certain: the dynamic between IU and V continues to captivate fans around the globe.

Lilo And Stitch Worldwide Box Office Update: Disney's live-action film marches its way towards the coveted USD 1 billion club
Disney's live-action Lilo And Stitch is setting the global box office on fire. The film is racing toward a jaw-dropping USD 1 billion in worldwide gross collections. After its second Tuesday, it has already pocketed just under USD 650 million globally. This family-comedy is proving to be a monster hit, and Disney is already counting its profits. With a modest production budget of USD 100 million (excluding marketing), the studio is laughing all the way to the bank. Let's break down why Lilo And Stitch is a box office juggernaut and how it's paving the way for massive earnings. The film's domestic performance in the US is nothing short of spectacular. It's targeting a whopping USD 450 million at the domestic box office. After its second Tuesday, it has already raked in over USD 285 million in US-Canada alone, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2025 domestically. The film's record-breaking Memorial Day weekend debut of USD 183 million set the tone, smashing past Top Gun: Maverick 's previous record of USD 160.5 million. A strong USD 63 million second weekend confirmed that the movie is in no mood to slow down anytime soon. Internationally, the film is a powerhouse, eyeing close to USD 600 million from markets outside the US. Markets like Mexico, UK and Brazil are leading the charge. However, Asia has been a bit of a soft spot, with the film yet to open in Japan. Still, the global appetite for Lilo And Stitch is undeniable. What makes this success even sweeter for Disney is the film's modest budget. At USD 100 million, Lilo And Stitch was initially planned for Disney+ but it pivoted to theaters and that move is paying off big time. Disney's global share by the end of its run will be over USD 400 million. Add to that non-theatrical revenue streams, and the studio is looking at profits exceeding USD 500 million. A huge chunk of this comes from Lilo And Stitch merchandise, which is flying off the shelves. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, Lilo And Stitch stars Maia Kealoha as Lilo. Chris Sanders has given the voice for Stitch. With no major competition until mid-June, Lilo And Stitch is set to keep soaring. Disney's gamble on this live-action remake has paid off and the losses of Snow White have been comfortably recovered.
