South Korean singer Kim Seok-jin aka Jin of K-pop band BTS fame is bringing the finale of his solo tour to the big screen in Bahrain this Sunday, August 10. RunSeokjin Ep Tour (stylised as #RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR) is the artist's first independent gig in support of his debut album Happy (2024) and Echo (2025). The tour, which began on June 28, is set to conclude on Sunday at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with an exclusive live screening at VOX cinemas in Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and Lebanon. Formed in 2010, BTS aka Bangtan Boys consists of Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook alongside Jin. Three years ago, the band took a break to complete their mandatory South Korean military service and pursue solo careers. During this time, Jin officially debuted as a solo artist with the single The Astronaut, though he had released singles prior to the band's hiatus. The recipient of a series of recognitions, including the Recording Industry Association of Japan's (RIAJ) platinum certification for Happy in 2024, Jin is set to make more music with the band. In a live stream last month, the ensemble announced that they have started writing new material together, with new music set to be released next year.

‘It was mind-blowing': Jamie Lee Curtis cherished getting to sit in the front row at the Oscars

Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Jamie Lee Curtis 'never thought' that she would get to sit in the front row at the Oscars. The 66-year-old star took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2023 for her part in the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once and recalled how the most exciting part of the ceremony was when she and her co-stars found out they would be sitting in prime position for the show. Jamie told AARP The Magazine: 'As soon as Ke (Huy Quan) and Steph Hsu and Michelle Yeoh came and sat in the same row, I literally walked up to each one of them and I went, 'Ke, where are we?' And he said, 'We're at the Oscars.' 'And where are you sitting?' And he said, 'In the front row.' '(They) never, ever, ever thought that they would be sitting in the front row at the Academy Awards as nominees. That moment for me was the whole thing. It was mind-blowing. And still is.' Jamie is the daughter of actors Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis and felt that her Oscars triumph was even more special as she had first-hand experience of the negative side of the industry. The Halloween actress said: 'I was raised in show business, a business that is ageist, misogynist and pigeonholing. 'I've watched the sad reality when show business no longer wants you. I watched it with my parents, who went from the height of their intense fame to nobody wanting them anymore.'
