BTS members RM, Jimin, V, Jin, Jungkook, Suga, and J-Hope had an emotional reunion at the group's 12th anniversary, celebrated through the FESTA event. The special performance by J-Hope at the Goyang Complex brought the septet together after 18 months apart due to military service. While June saw BTS take cultural dominance to another level—with their global popularity cutting across borders and fans waiting months for a musical comeback—it was rising K-pop stars SEVENTEEN who stole the spot. Recently crowned the most popular and successful K-pop group of 2024–2025 by an American website, the Pledis Entertainment's boy band topped the brand value list once ruled by BIGHIT stars.

Their positivity-to-negativity index analysis also changed, scoring 91.78% positive reactions. Earlier this month, SEVENTEEN graced the cover of The Hollywood Reporter, which named them the biggest and most successful boy band of 2024–25. Their album sales even outperformed big-league American pop acts like Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish, with the group being compared to Taylor Swift and Drake, who hold the top two global positions. Their Asia tour (2023–2024) alone raked in $98.4 million from just 24 shows, making it the highest-grossing K-pop tour of the year. The 13-member K-pop act includes Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, DK, Mingyu, The8, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino.

Why Troy Aikman doesn't mingle with his famous neighbors Meghan Markle and Prince Harry? The NFL star finally explains
NFL icon Troy Aikman explains why he keeps his distance from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry (Getty Images) NFL icon Troy Aikman may be enjoying the peace and quiet of Montecito, California, but he has no plans to bond with two of the neighborhood's most talked-about residents — Prince Harry and Meghan Markle . The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, known for his down-to-earth nature, lives just a stone's throw away from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but proximity doesn't always translate to friendship. What's keeping Troy Aikman from befriending Meghan and Harry? In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Aikman made it clear that his social circle doesn't overlap with the royals. While promoting his EIGHT Elite Light Beer, the 58-year-old Hall of Famer jokingly said, 'I don't think they're drinking much light beer.' That light-hearted jab revealed more than just a taste in beverages — it hinted at a cultural disconnect between the NFL legend and his royal neighbors. Despite living in the same upscale enclave of Montecito, Aikman hasn't had any run-ins with the couple. 'I haven't run into them. But they are there, from what I can gather. I think anyone with a heartbeat knows that they're out there,' he said, before adding with a chuckle, 'But I'm not hanging with them, that's for sure.' Troy Aikman Jokes About Why He Hasn't Spent Time With Neighbors Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Montecito has long been known for its serenity and exclusivity, but that reputation has slightly shifted since Harry and Meghan made the move in 2020 following their royal exit. Since settling into their $14 million mansion with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Sussexes have drawn a mix of curiosity and criticism. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Вот что поза во сне говорит о вашем характере! Удивительные Новости Undo Some locals, as revealed in Vanity Fair, have expressed discomfort over increased traffic, tourist activity, and rising property prices, suggesting the couple's presence may have changed the dynamics of the neighborhood. However, it's not all icy receptions for the Duke and Duchess. They've reportedly built close ties with high-profile residents like Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, and once shared a friendly bond with Ellen DeGeneres before she relocated to England. Aikman, meanwhile, is laser-focused on his broadcasting duties. As one-half of ESPN's 'Monday Night Football' duo alongside Joe Buck, he continues to bring expert analysis and seasoned commentary to fans across the country. Having transitioned from the football field to the broadcast booth in 2001, the three-time Super Bowl champion remains a fixture in American sports media. While Aikman may not be mingling with Montecito's royal residents, he seems content with his own path — one paved with beer, football, and zero royal entanglements. As he prepares for the upcoming NFL season, it's safe to say he's staying firmly in his lane — and far from the palace gates next door. Also Read: Did Travis Kelce really lose 25 pounds?
