India Today4 days ago
Although BTS are currently off-stage, their name continues to be entangled in K-pop controversies. This time, the focus is on 'Boys Planet II' trainee Peng Jin Yu. He has come under fire for performing Jungkook's hit song 'Seven', despite a resurfaced history of making disparaging remarks about BTS and other idols.Fans discovered old Weibo posts allegedly showing Peng criticising Jungkook, as well as members of TWICE and Aespa.advertisementOn June 12, Peng was introduced as an independent contestant on Mnet's 'Boys Planet II'. But rather than generating excitement, his appearance prompted immediate backlash. Alongside clips of his audition and performances, screenshots of previous social media activity began circulating. It revealed a pattern of hate-filled posts, particularly directed at Jungkook and female idols from TWICE and Aespa.

What further angered fans was Peng's reputation as a dedicated BLACKPINK supporter, or BLINK. While being a fan isn't inherently problematic, accusations have surfaced that Peng used his fan account to share anti-BTS content during periods of heightened BLINK vs. ARMY tensions.Among the posts was one allegedly comparing Aespa members to dogs, and another mocking TWICE's Tzuyu over the Taiwan flag incident, labelling the group as pro-Taiwan independence.The backlash was swift. Many fans pointed out the contradiction between Peng's past behaviour and his decision to perform Jungkook's 'Seven'. They accused him of exploiting BTS's popularity for personal gain. Making matters worse, he has yet to publicly address the controversy, with reports stating he offered only a private apology via direct message to a single fan.

Priyanka Chopra And Nick Jonas Attend BLACKPINK's Concert, Croon Malti Marie's Favourite Song APT

Looks like the BLACKPINK fan club just got a big Bollywood-Hollywood addition. Priyanka Chopra has made it official – she is a BLINK. Over the weekend, Priyanka and her husband, Nick Jonas, attended BLACKPINK's Deadline World Tour concert in New York. The couple seemed to have a blast, and they shared glimpses from the event on their Instagram Stories. The actress was dressed in a chic grey dress paired with statement earrings, while Nick kept it cool in a shirt, jacket and pants combo. They were not just there to pose – they were all in, singing along with the crowd and soaking in the K-pop energy. Nick Jonas posted a video of BLACKPINK's Rose performing her hit song APT. In the clip, both he and Priyanka are seen vibing to the track along with thousands of other fans. He simply captioned it, ' APT,' and added a fire emoji. But here is the cute twist—turns out the song might be a hit at home too. Priyanka Chopra reshared the video and wrote, 'Winning brownie points with Malti Marie.' She also tagged Rose and Bruno Mars, who co-sung the track with the BLACKPINK star. So now we know – little Malti Marie's got great taste in music, and her parents are clearly keeping up. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas got married in 2018. The couple welcomed Malti Marie via surrogacy in 2022. On the work front, Priyanka Chopra was last seen in Heads of State alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. The film premiered on Prime Video on July 2. Up next, she is set to appear in projects like The Bluff, SSMB29 and Citadel Season 2.

What can you wear to a K-pop concert? Here's a detailed guide that'll get you through

(Image Credits: Pinterest) As the K-pop band BLACKPINK is back in action with their global tour, leaving many of us starstruck and excited to attend, let's do it in true K-pop style. What say? A sold-out stadium, a loud jamming chorus, and lit-up phone, K-pop concerts are not just any mass gathering. They're the start of an epic night. But amidst all that excitement and energy, figuring out what to wear can feel more confusing than a concept teaser drop. Questions start popping up: Should you dress according to the band's aesthetic, or add your own twist? No stress, we've got a functional wardrobe plan with the perfect balance of sparkle and glam edge to carry you through the night. K-pop concerts are anything but basic. Think of them more like a high-energy fashion show, where your idols double as luxury brand models. So, get the vibe and show up looking cute with a bold twist. A powerful appearance Build your look with strong, standout silhouettes. Start with waist-cinching shiny corsets teamed with slouchy cargos or striking asymmetrical mini skirts. Try pairing it with high-thigh boots for comfort and drama. Add a mini baguette bag that's small yet bold, perfectly matching your outfit's vibe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tiruvallur: 1 Trick to Reduce Belly Fat?

(Image Credits: Pinterest) Layering is always a good idea Layering doesn't always mean bulky coats and quirky bombers. Minimal accessories can instantly elevate your look. Pair a basic tank top with a cropped or sheer glam jacket for just the right dose of drama. Don't stop there—add fishnet stockings, comfy shorts, and functional shoes or boots to complete that signature K-pop flex. Beauty Firsts: Using a hair straightener Statement belts for the go Whether you're in slouchy cargos or tight shorts, elevate your fit with a wide, waist-snatching statement belt and a bold buckle. It gives your look a fierce aesthetic that practically screams 'K-pop baddie 101.' Bring out the high sock drama In the K-pop universe, details are never random, they're intentional. Channel the knee-high sock drama with mini coquette-style skirts and shiny corset tops. Add layered chains or metal accents to bring in that rebellious fashion energy to survive the night's chaos in style. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Denim never disappoints Go for statement denim like bootcuts or dramatic barrel jeans. Top it with a bralette-style crop top, toss on an oversized jacket or bomber, and throw in some belt chains for good measure. A quirky cap and sneakers can complete your functional-yet-fabulous concert-ready look. Whether you're serving all-black drama or sweet pastel energy, the ultimate goal is to feel powerful, confident, and totally concert-ready. Create a look that's entirely you because you're not just part of the crowd, you're the moment. So, charge your phone, grab your lip gloss, and bring an outfit that slays the night.
