Tracy Chu eyes acting comeback
22 May - Tracy Chu recently revealed that she is looking to work as an actress again, and hopes to get a good project soon.
The actress-turned-barrister, who appeared at the opening ceremony of Cirque du Soleil's "KOOZA" recently, said that she will definitely get back to acting as soon as she encounters a good script.
"I don't need my husband's approval to film a drama. Instead, I have to consider how to manage my time. I want my husband to watch me acting because the drama I last starred in was seven or eight years ago," she said.
Tracy said that she has been balancing her work as a barrister and taking care of her family since her son was born.
"He just turned one and already knows how to walk. I have to chase him every day. Having a child is a lot of exercise," she said with a smile.
She is also happy that her friends like Priscilla Wong, Jennifer Shum and Louisa Mak are all parents now, saying that she hopes that their kids can all be friends when they are older.

Husky Freaks Out With Excitement When Baby Sister Finally Decides to Pet Her After 10 Months
Husky Freaks Out With Excitement When Baby Sister Finally Decides to Pet Her After 10 Months originally appeared on Parade Pets. Adjusting to a new baby in the household is no easy task — it doesn't matter if you're new parents getting into the flow of a major life change, or the family pet getting used to having a baby in the house. Over time, though, so many parents get to witness the beautiful bond that so many dogs have with their human siblings, even if it takes a little while for that bond to get started. Case in point: The sweet relationship unfolding between the Husky in the video below and her 10 month old baby sister. It may have taken her a little while to gather the bravery to pet her dog, but once she does, it's easy to see she already has her dog wrapped around her tiny baby finger! Dog and human mom @justlifewithstef shared this adorable footage on TikTok that included the very first time that her daughter decided she was finally ready to pet her dog, Stormy. Baby girl listened to mama's instructions to use "gentle hands" perfectly, and it seems like this was a moment Stormy was really looking forward to, because the moment she felt her baby sister's hands on her fur, she flopped over in sheer joy. These two are so sweet together, and it's clear that the time Mom has spent trying to show her daughter the right way to interact with dogs has truly paid off. It probably helps that Stormy is such a sweetheart, too!Commenters can't get enough of these two together, and it's easy to see why — this Husky is absolutely in love with her baby! "Your dog has been waiting for this day!" one commenter wrote. Another shared a comment from Stormy's perspective: "Mom, it's happening! Look!" "You need to be really careful here with babies and dogs. His body language indicates that he's about to claim her as his own and never leave her side," another wrote, adding a winking emoji. Huskies might be big, playful, busy dogs, but they can also be so sweet, and this moment is a prime example of that quality. It seems like this is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship between these two! 🐶🐾🐾 Husky Freaks Out With Excitement When Baby Sister Finally Decides to Pet Her After 10 Months first appeared on Parade Pets on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

K-pop stars RM and V of BTS complete their mandatory service in South Korean military
CHUNCHEON, South Korea (AP) — K-pop superstars RM and V are the latest members of BTS to be discharged from South Korea's military after fulfilling their mandatory service. They each saluted upon their release Tuesday in Chuncheon City as fans cheered. The pair began their service in December 2023, while three other BTS members — Jin, J-Hope and Suga — were already months into their conscription. Jin, the oldest member of the K-pop supergroup, was discharged from the army in June 2024. J-Hope was discharged in October. Jimin and JungKook are scheduled to be discharged Wednesday. The seventh member, Suga, is fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative to military service. He is to be released later this month. The seven BTS members plan to reunite as a group sometime in 2025. In South Korea, all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18-21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. The law gives special exemptions to athletes, classical and traditional musicians, and ballet and other dancers if they have obtained top prizes in certain competitions and are assessed to have enhanced national prestige. K-pop stars and other entertainers aren't subject to such privileges. The BTS members were able to postpone their service, however, after the National Assembly revised the Military Service Act, allowing K-pop stars to delay their enlistment until age 30. There was heated public debate over whether to offer special exemptions for BTS members, until the group's management agency announced in 2022 that all seven members would fulfill their duties. ___ Sherman reported from New York.

BTS' V Accomplishments During His South Korean Military Service
As V began the enlistment process to fulfill his mandatory South Korean military service in late 2023, the BTS superstar continued his ongoing global takeover without skipping a beat. V, whose full name is Kim Taehyung, enlisted for his service on December 11, 2023, and was soon assigned to fulfill his duties under the Special Task Force of the Military Police Corp. From dropping chart-topping solo singles to racking up awards from around the world, alongside new projects like his own photo book, unexpected duets, and charity donations, V's military service period still managed to be a springboard for creativity and generosity. As his duty wraps on June 10, 2025, it's clear that even in uniform, V's star power never dimmed — if anything, it's only shone brighter. Let's take a look at some of the biggest accomplishments from the last 18 months. On December 20, 2023, just days after V enlisted, Japan's Oricon Charts revealed its 2023 year-end rankings with the news that his Layover album ranked at No. 16 for the year. With 15 albums by bands or duos ahead of Layover, V earned the distinction of being the highest-ranked soloist among all releases that year. With the December 30 release of his collaboration track 'Wherever U R' with rising singer-songwriter UMI, American fans' love of the track helped it land on both the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart and Hot R&B Songs chart on Billboard. This marked V's first time entering the R&B and hip-hop charts as a soloist. The 33rd Seoul Music Awards took place on January 2, 2024, where V won a 'Main Award' at the show while Layover earned the honor of Fan Choice of the Year. It was V's first time nominated as a soloist at the show. While getting the chance to show off his acting chops in IU's 'Love Wins All' video is an accomplishment, V's work in the visual delivered virtual results across platforms even with the limited promotion he was able to show. Fans noted how music video photos of IU and V entered the Trending Topics on the Chinese social platform Weibo, earning more than 100 million views for their 'wedding'-themed photos. Meanwhile, multiple clips from the video have earned millions of views across TikTok, showcasing the broad appeal of the visual. Since its January 2024 unveiling, the 'Love Wins All' video has garnered more than 95 million views and continues to gain momentum month by month. The 2024 Korea Brand Awards surveyed over 288,000 people across Korea and Vietnam to honor the celebrities and brands that experts and fans think are leading new trends. The 2024 ceremony took place on January 9, where V was honored with the Male Idol Variety Star award, thanks to his growing recognition across reality shows like In the Soop: Friendcation and two seasons of Jinny's Kitchen. After the release of his solo single 'FRI(END)S' on March 15, 2024, the all-English song managed to top the Download Chart of South Korea's Circle Chart despite the star not being able to promote it actively. Following its release, 'FRI(END)S' managed to secure the first-place spot on the popular live performance show M Countdown, where almost all current K-pop songs can win the coveted Number One of the week. Those with the highest mix of fan votes, downloads, album sales, and social media activity are named the winner for the week, and 'FRI(END)S' snatched the top title for two weeks despite V not being able to join on stage. While BTS have been consistently taking home trophies from the iHeartRadio Music Awards since their first nomination in 2018, V landed his first win as a solo artist when Layover won Favorite Debut Album. V's success with 'FRI(END)S' continued overseas as the track hit Number 13 on the U.K. Official Chart, surpassing his career-best Number 24 peak from 2023's 'Slow Dancing,' to become V's highest-charting song in the U.K. yet. In an expansion of his creative offerings to the world, V released a 224-page hardcover photo book, Type 1, in July 2024. According to the announcement, the star was involved in every step of the process, from planning to production, with the book described as capturing 'V's moments of complete rest, revealing his comfortable and natural self as he takes a break from his busy schedule to enjoy some time alone.' Despite needing to be absent during the 2023 and 2024 shows, the Fact Music Awards still awarded him at both ceremonies. In the best Music Category that has a winner for each season, 'Slow Dancing' won the award for Best Music - Fall in 2023, with 'FRI(END)S' winning the Best Music - Spring award in 2024, proving Kim Taehyung's music is one for all seasons. V hit the 100-million mark on YouTube with 'Love Me Again.' Shortly after 1AM local time in Korea on August 3, 2024, the music video for Layover's first single, 'Love Me Again,' was confirmed to have surpassed 100 million views. The video hit the milestone in less than a year after its release in Summer of 2023. The newly created Korea Grand Music Awards honored V at its first ceremony in November 2024 with the Trend of the Year in the Solo artist category. Alongside V, chart-topping singer and 2022 Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40 honoree Lee Chanwon won Trend of the Year in the Trot singer category, rising girl group UNIS won in the Group category, and Park Jihyun was named Trend of the Year in the Rookie category. After seven previous nominations in 2022 and 2023 at the MAMA Awards across categories in Album of the Year, Best Vocal Performance - Male Solo and Best OST, our V finally took home his first statue after being named in the Fans' Choice Top 10 - Male category for 2024. Even better: his band mates RM, Jimin and Jung Kook also were part of the Top 10 as well. It's not often one of the world's biggest pop stars gets to drop a song with one of his besties, but 'Winter Ahead' allowed V and his personal friend Park Hyo Shin, a well-known balladeer in Korea, to team up for a seasonal jazz-pop collaboration. Perhaps even more rare than duetting with your best friend would be duetting with your idol — especially if that idol has long passed away. But for a long-in-the-making project between V and the estate of the late Bing Crosby, the two singers were brought together to record a new take on the holiday classic, 'White Christmas.' V has long expressed his admiration for the crooning legend, which soon got the attention of the Crosby family, who shared their blessing and excitement for the release. V has long shared his love for the Christmas season with multiple gifts of new music and holiday-themed tracks for fans. In December 2024, listeners delivered him two new presents when both his songs 'Winter Ahead' with Park Hyo Shin and 'White Christmas' with Bing Crosby went to Number One on Billboard's Holiday Digital Song Sales chart within a week of each other. No doubt, it was a lovely gift for the star's 29th birthday on December 30 that year. On December 2, 2024, V shared the news that his beloved pet dog Yeontan had died in a heartfelt statement on his Instagram. Fans had watched Yeontan grow up with the group, with V even featuring his pet Pomeranian in the packaging and photoshoot for his Layover album. While V could have chosen to keep such personal heartbreak a private matter, his words inspired fans to raise money and donate to the Korean Animal Welfare Association in Yeontan's name for V's birthday that year. The association thanked fans for donating 1.23 million Korean won (approximately $908 today) towards animal futures and stated that they would look forward to supporting V in the future as well. While serving his country in the military, V also helped out by donating 200 million Korean won (approximately $147,504 today) to the Korea Red Cross to support recovery efforts following wildfires across the country in March 2025. With just a handful of singles released in 2024, V still managed to earn a nomination at the first-ever Music Awards Japan in its Special Award: Oshi-Katsu Request Artist of the Year category, where he is competing among other major Asian acts like Tomorrow X Together from Korea, SB19 from the Philippines and more. The winners will be announced later this year — and should he win, maybe V can pick up the award in person.
