BTS' V and Jungkook likely to visit court for settlement procedure against Sojang in 90M KRW defamation case
Court hearing for BTS' V and Jungkook's settlement with offender to be held on July 21
V and Jungkook might participate in a court-mediated discussion on July 21 at 9:40 am KST (6:10 am IST) to explore a potential settlement in their defamation lawsuit against Sojang, the operator of the YouTube channel Taldeok Camp. This development comes after the second-level court redirected the case to this format from a full hearing, on June 16.
The discussion aims to facilitate a mutually acceptable agreement between the parties. The settlement pathway will allow the offender and the victim to engage in discussions and reach a mutually beneficial outcome with the court's assistance. If a settlement is successfully reached, it will carry the same legal authority as a final court ruling under Article 28 of the Civil Procedure Act.
Although news of V and Jungkook appearing in court themselves for the settlement have been making rounds, there is no official confirmation regarding the same.
More about V and Jungkook's defamation case
In February 2025, Youtuber Sojang was found guilty of spreading false information about V and Jungkook, through her YouTube channel from October 2021 to June 2023. She allegedly posted 23 such defamatory content related to the K-pop stars, and as a result, was ordered by the 12th Civil Division of the Seoul Western District Court to pay 76 million KRW (around 53,000 USD) in damages.
From among it, 51 million KRW was to go to BTS' agency BIGHIT MUSIC, 10 million KRW to V and 15 million KRW to Jungkook. However, initially a 90 million KRW lawsuit was filed by the BTS members in January 2025. They won the case but the damages fee amount was changed to 76 million KRW as per the court ruling.

BTS' Massive Record Broken By Netflix's Fictional K-Pop Group Saja Boys
Last Updated: This surpasses BTS' chart-topping hit Dynamite, which peaked at No. 3 in 2020, a major feat considering Saja Boys don't even exist outside the animated universe of the film. Netflix's animated hit K-Pop Demon Hunters is not just slaying demons but also slaying records. The fictional K-Pop group Saja Boys, featured in the film, has officially broken a record previously held by global K-Pop icons BTS, making waves across charts and fandoms. Their track Your Idol has soared to No. 2 on the US Spotify chart, making it the highest-charting K-Pop boy band song in US Spotify history. This surpasses BTS' chart-topping hit Dynamite, which peaked at No. 3 in 2020 — a major feat considering Saja Boys don't even exist outside the animated universe of the film. The buzz began as soon as the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack dropped, debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard charts — and climbing steadily. Fans of the film have fallen hard for the fictional group's catchy tunes and stunning visuals. In an unexpected twist, even BTS' RM was seen singing the group's peppy number Soda Pop on a livestream, signalling approval from the kings themselves. In the film, Saja Boys are secretly demons whose rise in popularity saps the magical powers protecting Earth — a plot twist that ironically mirrors their rise in the real world. But fear not: fictional rivals HUNTR/X, who serve as the protectors in the storyline, are doing well themselves. Their track Golden has also pulled impressive streaming numbers. The fictional Saja Boys are brought to life by a mix of actors and real-life vocalists. The group is voiced by Ahn Hyo-seop, Joel Kim Booster, Alan Lee, and SungWon Cho, while their songs are performed by Andrew Choi, Samuil Lee, Kevin Woo, Neckwav, and Danny Chung. KPop Demon Hunters is now one of Netflix's biggest animated hits of the year. With Grammy and Oscar buzz in the air for both its music and animation, fans are already speculating about a potential sequel, spinoff series, or even a live-action adaptation. Though nothing is confirmed yet, Netflix seems to have struck gold with this KPop-meets-demon-hunting formula. First Published:

Weekend Binge: From Padmaavat To 83, Ranveer Singh's Top 5 Films To Revisit On His Birthday
New Delhi: Ranveer Singh turns a year older on July 6, 2025. This year, the day will be all the more special since it's his first birthday as a father. Deepika Padukone and he welcomed their first child, daughter Dua, last year. From his memorable Bollywood debut with Band Baaja Baaraat to bagging the titular character in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3, Ranveer has indeed come a long way. In his career spanning decades, Ranveer Singh has struck the right chord with fans. He impressed viewers as the charming conman Ricky Bahl in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. On the other hand, he evoked a myriad of emotions among audiences with his layered performance in Simmba. On Ranveer Singh's birthday, we have curated a list of his top 5 films that you should revisit: Lootera - (2013) Prime Video Ranveer Singh's performance in this Vikramaditya Motwane directorial is touted as one of his finest, alongside Sonakshi Sinha. His character Varun Srivastav was a striking departure from his quintessential flamboyant on-screen persona. Ranveer's quiet sensitivity and transformation from a sly conman to a man riddled with guilt and love left a lasting impression. Bajirao Mastani - (2015) Apple TV Ranveer Singh did justice to the valiant Maratha ruler Peshwa Bajirao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical drama. He commanded attention with his fiery intensity and regal charm, balancing a warrior's bravado and the vulnerability of a man deeply in love. His powerful dialogue, ' Cheete ki chaal, baaz ki nazar aur Bajirao ki talvaar par sandeh nahi karte, kabhi bhi maat de sakti hai" lives in our minds rent-free. Padmaavat - (2018) YouTube Proving his versatility again, Ranveer Singh slipped into the shoes of an antagonist in Padmaavat. As the tyrannical ruler Alauddin Khilji, smitten by Deepika Padukone's Queen Padmavati, Ranveer brought a visceral and disturbing intensity to his character. His expressions, maniacal laughter and remorseless cruelty sent shivers down our spine. Gully Boy - (2019) - Prime Video Gully Boy is perhaps one of Ranveer Singh's career-defining movies. He played the role of Murad, a budding street rapper with absolute conviction. The actor embodied a raw ambition with emotional complexity. Ranveer's nuanced performance as someone rising from Mumbai's slums earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. 83 - (2021) Netflix Ranveer Singh breathed life into his role as the cricket legend Kapil Dev in this heart-warming biographical sports drama directed by Kabir Khan. With his on-point appearance, applaud-worthy bowling action and pitch-perfect Haryanvi accent, the actor transformed into the iconic captain who led India to its first World Cup in 1983.
