BTS' Jungkook teases upcoming military discharge, shows love for Jin and J-Hope, and shares new updates on Bam's Instagram
The highly anticipated BTS reunion is approaching, and the members are leaving no stone unturned in teasing ARMYs. After RM shared an update on his 30-day countdown, Jungkook, currently taking a brief respite, refreshed his social media accounts and delighted fans with a sprinkle of interactions, further fueling the excitement.
Jungkook interacts with fans on Weverse
On Tuesday (May 15), Jungkook popped into Weverse in a great mood and had a fun little conversation with fans. He started by checking in, asking if everyone was doing well. Then he mentioned that his discharge isn't far off and that he'd be getting out soon.
Along the way, he also took a moment to show support for J-Hope and Jin, encouraging ARMYs to continue cheering them on since they've been working hard.
When a fan called him "Hey babe," the Seven singer simply wrote, "Yo," but this was just enough to send the ARMYs into a meltdown.

Jungkook also updated his dog Bam's Instagram with a new photo, along with a few adorable shots of Bam playing with his furry friends. Fans were quick to notice that the pet account, which now has over 7 million followers, is officially verified and no longer follows anyone. Previously, the account only followed the BTS members. Another detail that fans noticed was that the singer used the viral AI♡SCREAM! song in his latest Instagram post for Bam, proving he's keeping up with the current trends, despite his ongoing military service.
Jungkook's recent achievements
Meanwhile, Jungkook continues to make his global fanbase proud. This time, two of his hit songs, 3D and Standing Next to You, were recognized at the 2025 BMI Pop Awards, earning the title of Most Performed Songs of the Year. The BMI Awards celebrate tracks with the highest radio plays and streaming numbers in the U.S. over the past year.

BTS is expected to reunite in June 2025 as all members complete their military service. RM and V are scheduled to be discharged on June 10, 2025, followed by Jimin and Jungkook on June 11, 2025. Suga, who has been serving as a public service worker, is expected to complete his service on June 21, 2025.

The Manager: J-Hope 'can't believe' BTS' reunion, reveals details of sickness on solo tour; Know when and where to watch
BTS' J-Hope is ready to show a different side of himself, away from the stage lights and thunderous applause. MBC's popular reality program The Manager (Omniscient Interfering View) is set to spotlight the artist in an upcoming episode. And anticipation is already sky-high! A preview clip, released on June 7, offers a revealing glimpse of what's to come. The episode promises to show both the energy J-Hope brings to the stage and the quieter, more personal moments that define his life off-camera. It will highlight how he maintained both his physical and mental stamina throughout the demanding HOPE ON THE STAGE solo tour. Life on the road: passion, pressure, and performance In the preview, viewers are treated to behind-the-scenes footage of J-Hope preparing for live shows. He's seen running through choreography, and discussing the fine details that make each performance unique. As the camera follows him backstage and into his downtime, fans will get to see the dedication and discipline required to carry a solo tour; one once shared by seven, now shouldered by one. His routine, as shown in snippets of the upcoming episode, includes structured workouts, healthy meals, and moments of calm reflection between high-energy appearances. The difference in atmosphere, compared to BTS ' group tours, is unmistakable. There is less chaos, fewer voices, but also a sense of independence and personal responsibility. Moroever, his manager revealed J-Hope had a 39.5°C fever during tour and pleaded to 'save him,' sparking concern among fans. Counting down to BTS reunion One of the most touching moments in the preview comes when J-Hope opens up about the nearing military discharge of his fellow BTS members. RM, V, SUGA, Jimin and Jungkook are expected to complete their mandatory service within this month of June. The countdown to a long-awaited reunion has begun and J-Hope is visibly excited about it. 'There's really less than a month left until the members are discharged,' he says, clearly moved by the realization. 'I can't believe BTS' discharge is already here.' The thought of the group coming back together, even after years apart, appears to fill him with both hope and emotion. Reminiscing about the past In addition to updates about the present and future, J-Hope also takes a moment to look back. He recalls the days when BTS toured together. How they used to gather over shared meals, support one another before performances, and laugh through the pressure. 'When it was [all of] BTS, we always had catering,' he reflects. 'When it was the seven of us performing, we would always gather and sit around together. Now, I'm on my own.' While his solo journey has allowed him to grow and shine individually, it's evident that the group is something he still cherishes deeply. When and where to watch Fans won't have to wait long to witness this intimate portrayal of J-Hope's journey. His special episode of The Manager will air on June 14 at 11:10 p.m. KST on MBC. The broadcast promises a unique window into J-Hope's life as an artist and a person. Whether you've followed him since debut or recently discovered his solo work, this episode will be a must-watch for anyone curious about the man behind the music.

Has Ivanka Trump distanced herself from MAGA? Her recent action 'subtly shading' father Donald Trump sparks buzz
Ivanka Trump recently shared a photograph on social media platform Instagram promoting a book written by a vocal critic of her father, President Donald Trump , sparking buzz online. She appeared to distance herself even further from the MAGA movement after promoting a book written by an author who actively campaigned against her father during the 2024 election cycle. The President's eldest daughter posted a shot of 'Untamed' Glennon Doyle's 2020 memoir , amongst a collection of photographs documenting the highlights of her week, according to The Independent. The post appeared on Ivanka's Instagram story. Ivanka Trump supports father's critics Ivanka Trump has chosen to openly support one of her father President Donald Trump's model-turned-business-woman has stepped away from the limelight, solely sharing glimpses into her glam life that includes lavish rehearsal dinners and Miami boat rides. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Make the move from OpenAI to Open Source Intel® Xeon® Learn More Undo This week, she shared an array of photos showing her 'week in Miami,' which includes working out, eating gourmet meals, spending time with her family and friends and lastly, but most intriguingly, reading Glennon Doyle 's book Untamed. The novel's synopsis says, 'It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member's ability to bring her full self to the table.' Live Events The book topped the New York Times bestseller list, but that wasn't what truly captured her fans' attention. The author has been an outspoken critic of the President and even publicly endorsed Kamala Harris during his presidential campaign last fall. When the former Vice President replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee last summer, she expressed support for Harris—while also taking a subtle jab at the sitting President. 'Winning this election to save America' On Instagram, she said, 'Winning this election to save America from fascism will be hard. WE CAN DO HARD THINGS. AND WE WILL. No more fear. We gotta BELIEVE and we gotta WORK. CHINS UP SHOULDERS BACK: Let's effing go." "Listen at link to our incredible conversation with the future POTUS @KamalaHarris about her vision for America, Roe v. Wade, and HOW WE MUST RECLAIM PATRIOTISM.' Untamed is Doyle's memoir, described on Amazon as a story about how she "learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story of navigating divorce, forming a new blended family, and discovering that the brokenness or wholeness of a family depends not on its structure but on each member's ability to bring her full self to the table." A few weeks before the results of the election was announced, she also said, 'If Trump wins, we lose, out daughters will have fewer rights than our mothers.' Her dislike for the President extends for the past decade, even when he was running for President for the first time in 2016. A month before that election, she took to Facebook with another strong message, stating, 'I am an American woman and I am appalled and furious that people I know and respect might vote into the presidency a man who brags about sexual assault. Go ahead, list the excuses for this. There are none.' 'There's a hell of a lot of misogyny surfacing right now and silence about it is a CHOICE,' she continued. 'If you are a woman or love a woman Speak Up Now before it's too late.'
