Top 10 most followed people on X in 2025: PM Narendra Modi beats US President Donald Trump; see who is No. 1
World's most followed accounts on twitter in 2025: X, which launched as Twitter in 2006 – a microblogging site for sharing fleeting thoughts – has grown into a global digital powerhouse. It has transformed how we engage with celebrities, world leaders, and everyday voices. Over time, it has become a modern public square, where influence is measured in followers, reposts, and viral threads.

When K-Pop Meets Sci-Fi: Tomorrow X Together's Mind-Blowing Concept Photos Are Pure Cinema
Tomorrow X Together (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Huening Kai) released the mood teaser for the final concept 'Awake' version of their 4th full-length album 'Star Chapter: Together' on the team's official social network service (SNS) Okay, so if you thought K-pop concept photos couldn't get any more extra, Tomorrow X Together (TXT) just said "hold my ramyeon" and dropped something that looks like it belongs in a Christopher Nolan film. The five-member group - Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai - just unveiled their final concept photos for their 4th studio album "The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY," and honestly, the sci-fi vibes are hitting different. The 'Awake' version concept photos dropped on the 15th, and let me tell you, it's giving major Matrix meets Bollywood sci-fi energy. You know how our desi films love their dramatic awakening scenes? This is exactly that, but with a budget that would make even our biggest production houses jealous. The boys are literally connected to machines and cables in some futuristic space that screams "we're about to save the universe. " What's absolutely mind-blowing is how they've captured that exact moment when the characters open their eyes after being in some kind of technological slumber. It's like that scene in every superhero movie where the hero realizes their true power - except this time, it's five incredibly talented Korean boys who somehow make wearing metallic bodysuits look effortless. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Global Indices Are on the Move — Time to Trade! IC Markets Learn More Undo Four Concepts, One Epic Story Now here's where TXT really flexed their creative muscles. This 'Awake' concept is actually the fourth and final piece of their album's visual narrative. Before this, they gave us 'Afterglow' (which was all about the aftermath of something major), 'Starlight' (showing their determination under infinite stars), and 'Etched' (where they literally carved each other's names into their bodies - talk about friendship goals!). Each concept tells a different part of their story, and when you put them all together, it's like reading a really good webtoon that you can't put down. The progression from the lingering effects of 'Afterglow' to the awakening in 'Awake' is so cinematic that it reminds me of how our own entertainment industry has been experimenting with interconnected storylines - think of how shows like 'Scam 1992' built their narrative layer by layer. The blue lighting in the 'Awake' concept is particularly striking - it creates this metallic, otherworldly atmosphere that makes you feel like you're peeking into the future. And can we talk about how their eyes literally sparkle with that blue reflection? It's giving serious "I just unlocked my superhuman abilities" energy. The Comeback That's Breaking the Internet But wait, there's more! TXT isn't just stopping at these concept photos. They're building up to their album release on the 21st at 6 PM with a carefully planned rollout that's got MOAs (their fandom) camping on social media. On the 18th, they're dropping two different previews, and then on the 19th and 20th, we're getting music video teasers for their title track "Beautiful Strangers." The album itself, "The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY," is apparently about calling each other by name and how that simple act of recognition can literally save each other and the world. In a time when we're all so disconnected despite being more "connected" than ever, this message hits different. It's like how in our own culture, the act of truly seeing and acknowledging someone has deep spiritual significance.

'Yes, of course': Stephen King's comments on Epstein list make people suspect he's one of them
Is Stephen King on the Epstein's list? Author Stephen King has set the Internet on fire with his continuous commentary on the Epstein row, as now many social media users believe that he is definitely on the list. The administration has closed the Epstein investigation, as they said the convicted sex offender was not murdered and he did commit suicide in his prison cell in 2019. The administration also announced that the sex trafficker did not keep a list of clients whom he provided with the service of the underage women that he trafficked. "Did Epstein traffic young girl? Yes, of course. Is there a client list? Doubtful. Conspiracy fodder." This is the latest post from Stephen King who earlier compared the list with Santa Claus, tooth fairy and UFO. "Boy, I hit a nerve with that Epstein post. The 'list' is like UFOs: Everyone knows someone who's seen one," this was another post that Stephen King made. "The Epstein client list is real. So is the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus," he wrote making his debut commentary on the issue. Stephen King is reiterating what the administration said that there is no list, though it was established that Epstein trafficked underage girls. His readers, convinced that he is on the list, said it would not be surprising as his fictional characters are equally dark. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Stephen King is not a Trump-dan, and he's known for insulting Trump. But now that he's calling Epstein's list a conspiracy theory reeks of his own interest, according to X users. Some fans said he's probably taking a jibe at the president as Trump promised he would publish Epstein's list before the election and now calling it a 'hoax'. President Trump called Epstein list a 'hoax' and said his 'past supporters' fell for this conspiracy theory started by the Democrats. In an unprecedented warning to his supporters, Trump said he does not need those who are only speaking about Epstein without focusing on his achievements.
