J-hope reveals BTS and TWICE took a pic together on Sana's 'Fridge Interview': ARMY and ONCE demand to see the photo
While their easygoing chemistry was enough to charm both ARMY and ONCE, it was J-hope's unexpected revelation that truly caught everyone off guard - BTS and TWICE once took a group photo together. The twist? It's never been released. That single moment has now sent fans into a frenzy, demanding the release the photo online.
When was this photo taken?
According to J-hope, the photo was snapped backstage at a music show during BTS' Boy With Luv promotions. "When we were promoting Boy With Luv," he said - referencing to the time around 2019.
Fans from both fandoms quickly went into detective mode and zeroed in on a possible date that matched J-hope's description: April 26, 2019, when BTS and TWICE both appeared on Music Bank. TWICE was promoting their hit song FANCY during the same period.

Has VCHA officially disbanded? JYP Entertainment girl group disappears from social media amid fan concerns
Girl group VCHA, which came into existence all thanks to the reality competition program A2K, may have disbanded as fans await updates about the group's future. On August 5, many netizens noticed that all social media accounts had deleted their content and removed the profile photos of the girls, going into complete 'blackout' modes. This included the team's Instagram profile with 825K followers, X account with 62.7 K followers, YouTube with 674K subscribers, and even TikTok, where the team enjoyed a whopping 1.4 million following. This has further raised concerns about the group's disbandment amid the team's ongoing issues internally. VCHA's run in the K-pop industry over? Here's all we know The disappearance of VCHA's official accounts is a recent development amid the group members' struggles with their management. While usually a marketing tactic to attract more headlines and online engagement, their absence from social media appears to be a goodbye instead. Inclining more towards a break-up of the team, VCHA's name had also been removed from JYP Entertainment 's website under the artists' section, as fans observed on the same day. This has more or less confirmed their doubts as Vlights (VCHA's fandom) waited for news from the agency. The issues first came to light when member KG spoke out about the alleged mistreatment she received at the hands of the staff, which the company soon denied. After being placed on a hiatus, her departure was announced in December 2024. A case is also going on between her and the agency after she first registered it at the Los Angeles Superior Court. Following her, member Kaylee also decided to leave the team and the label in July 2025 with mutual termination, turning the group into a four-piece. While further updates have not come in from Camila, Lexi, Kendall or Savanna, it seems that the team will no longer continue its course under the South Korean giant, which was managing the group alongside Republic Records. VCHA debuted on January 26, 2024, and was all set to appear during Lollapalooza for their first music festival performance, but pulled out eventually. So far, JYP Entertainment has not shared a comment on the group's future.

Hidden Love actor Zhao Lusi claims she was locked in hotel room, called ‘cursed' when she fell ill as agency stole $350k: ‘They told me I might be blacklisted'
Chinese actor Zhao Lusi, known for popular shows like Hidden Love and The Romance of Tiger and Rose, has accused her management agency Galaxy KU Media, of emotional and financial manipulation at a time when she was severely ill. In a post shared on Weibo, Zhao Lusi accused them of making financial transactions on her behalf without her authorisation. In another livestream, Zhao claimed that instead of providing her with medical support, the team locked her in a hotel room when her health was rapidly deteriorating. Zhao shared a detailed account of her troubles and claimed that the agency withdrew 2.05 million yuan (around $350k) from her studio's account after they made her team sign off on a split earning system. She claimed that the studio was dismantled without her consent and they refused to return the operational control even when she repeatedly asked for it. Zhao claimed that she was warned against speaking out or taking any legal action, and was told that she would be 'blacklisted' if she went public with her accusations. 'They told me I might be blacklisted and should stay quiet. Is that what they call a solution?' she asked. Zhao shared that after she fell ill, the agency that had previously assured her of their support, left her alone to bear all financial losses. She also claimed that they refused to terminate her contract so she was stuck in a financial mess while dealing with her ill health. It has been reported that Zhao's health started deteriorating in December 2023 while she was filming Almost Lover. Reportedly, her health went down so rapidly that she lost the ability to walk and talk. Fans of the actor claim that she was shooting with oxygen support and was using a wheelchair while on set, and all this while, she was being pushed to shoot by her management agency. ALSO READ | Not Jungkook or V, this BTS star alone powered HYBE's 85% North American revenue boost in Q1 2025 Days after she accused Galaxy KU Media of financial manipulation, she conducted a livestream where she claimed that they denied her any medical care during her illness. They allegedly said she was 'cursed' and 'locked' her in a hotel room. 'I was sick, and instead of taking me to see a doctor, you locked me in a hotel,' she said. Fans of the actor have been putting together a timeline to show that the actor was severely sick when she was being forced to work by her agency, and have been sharing her old posts where she hinted that she was being mistreated by her agency. Reportedly, the posts go as far back as 2019. As per these reports, she allegedly sent an SOS message in December 2022 to her friend Zhirui. Her condition, as per reports, was revealed as aphasia — a condition that impacts speech. However,later Zhao's close friend, Song Nanxi, alleged that the actor has been emotionally abused by the head of Galaxy KU Media for years. These allegations were repeated by her stylist and assistant, who claim she has received bad treatment for years.
