BTS' Jungkook collaborating with Charlie Puth again? J-Hope updates as SUGA, RM and Jimin get cooking in studio
Charlie Puth is back in the studio with BTS, another hit on the way?
J-Hope 's update, captioned, 'I'm out in LA', saw glimpses of BTS members 'cooking' with rounds upon rounds of recording sessions. In one of the videos, member SUGA could be seen playing a guitar. A rare sight, fans were happy to see him back in action and work on another banger. Moreover, member RM was seen in the recording room, probably getting some raps in. Their chilling sessions included Jimin and V, the latter of whom also appeared in his own update.
The most important highlight in the series of photos and videos came last with singer Charlie Puth humoring the BTS members with a fidget spinner. Jungkook could be seen laughing with him over a muted conversation. V's own photo showed the American producer riding a scooter and Jimin in the same fit as in J-Hope's update, giving an impression that the group was indeed all together, sans Jin, who is known to be on his solo tour.
The group has been working hard while staying at a secret location in Los Angeles. Set to release a new album in spring 2026, the team has been moving to and fro, from the US to South Korea. The highly anticipated new record will be the group's first since all members wrapped up their military services.
Earlier today, BTS denied having recorded or being a part of the rumored Michael Jackson tribute album, silencing any reports saying otherwise and putting a stop to the 'song stealing' accusations that have been making the rounds. They vowed to be committed to disseminating misinformation.

Are BTS And Charlie Puth Collaborating? J-Hope's Video Fuels Rumours
One particular video from J-Hope's Instagram post features Charlie Puth inside a recording studio with BTS members. BTS is back in the spotlight, with all members currently in Los Angeles working on their highly anticipated comeback album. Excitement is running high among fans, and J-Hope has only amplified the buzz by sharing a series of photos and videos from the U.S. His social media updates offer a glimpse into behind-the-scenes moments from recording sessions and daily life. One video, in particular, has grabbed everyone's attention: a short clip featuring Charlie Puth in a recording studio alongside Jungkook and J-Hope. While no official confirmation has been made, the video has fueled speculation that a surprise collaboration may be in the works. A Surprise Guest In one of the clips shared by J-Hope, Charlie Puth is seen playfully spinning a fidget spinner, sparking laughter among the BTS members. Jungkook couldn't stop smiling as J-Hope captured the lighthearted moment on camera. Beyond the studio, J-Hope also offered fans a glimpse into their off-duty adventures, from beach walks to skydiving. Adding a quirky personal touch, he shared a close-up shot of Labubu keychains hanging on their bags and even included a fun Labubu personality test in his post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by jhope (@uarmyhope) Charlie Puth And Jungkook's Past Collaborations Charlie Puth has teamed up with BTS before. He and Jungkook worked together on the track Left and Right, which became a big hit around the world. The song came out shortly after the boy band's emotional Festa 2022 dinner, where the group talked openly about taking a break and focusing on solo work. That time was special for the members, as they were preparing for military service. BTS completed their mandatory military service in June 2025, and since then, they've been back in action. From live streams to solo events, the members have been keeping fans engaged. J Hope, who completed his service last year, recently wrapped up his solo tour Hope On Stage, which kicked off in February 2025 and took him to several cities across South Korea, North America and Asia. Along with the tour, the singer also dropped two fresh singles, Mona Lisa and Killin' It Girl. Now that all seven members are back, fans are eagerly waiting to see BTS perform together again. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Director Francis Ford Coppola doing fine after medical procedure in Rome
(Corrects to drop extraneous word in paragraph 5; corrects typo in doctor's name, paragraph 6) Filmmaker says on social media he "is fine" Coppola was promoting latest film "Megalopolis" in Italy Representative says procedure was scheduled, not emergency LOS ANGELES, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Francis Ford Coppola, the acclaimed American director of "The Godfather" movies and "Apocalypse Now," underwent a non-emergency medical procedure by appointment at a hospital in Rome and is doing fine, he and a U.S.-based representative said on Tuesday. "Mr. Coppola went in for a scheduled update procedure with acclaimed Dr. Andrea Natale, his doctor of over 30 years, and is resting nicely," the representative said in response to Italian media reports that the director was hospitalized. "All is well." The 86-year-old filmmaker was admitted on Tuesday to the Policlinico Tor Vergata, a public hospital in the Italian capital, news agency ANSA reported. The U.S. based representative declined to give any details about the nature of Coppola's medical procedure, but said: "There was not an emergency. He went to the hospital in a car." Coppola posted a photograph of himself on Instagram appearing relaxed and smiling with a message reassuring fans, "I am well." "Da Dada (what my kids call me) is fine, taking an opportunity while in Rome to do the update of my 30-year-old afib procedure with its inventor, a great Italian doctor - Dr. Andrea Natale," it said. He did not elaborate further. His U.S. representative specifically disputed as "not true" a report from the Italian website that Coppola had suffered atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat, before entering the operating room for what was to have been a long-planned surgical procedure. A spokesperson for the hospital did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. Coppola was in Italy to promote his latest movie, the sci-fi epic "Megalopolis," a $120 million self-funded production about a visionary architect's quest to transform a fictional future version of New York City called New Rome into a utopian community. The film, which has drawn mixed reviews and struggled at the box office following its 2024 debut at the Cannes Film Festival, was reported to have received a special screening at the Magna Graecia Film Festival in Catanzaro, Italy. The Italian-American director, who has won five Academy Awards, four of them for his work on the first two films in "The Godfather" trilogy, widely considered by cinema buffs to rank among the greatest movies of all time.
