BTS' RM, V, Jimin And Jungkook To Address Fans Post-Discharge; BigHit Issues Crowd Warning
Last Updated: BTS' RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook will greet fans from designated locations after military discharge. BigHit warns against visiting bases due to safety concerns. The long-anticipated BTS reunion is officially on the horizon. With just days left before the final four members—Kim Namjoon (RM), Kim Taehyung (V), Jeon Jungkook, and Park Jimin—complete their mandatory military service, BIGHIT MUSIC has shared crucial updates that have sent ARMYs around the world into celebration mode. According to a June 5 statement by the label, the members will not be discharged directly from their military bases but will instead address fans in private, low-key moments at separate designated locations. These short, closed-door greetings—meant for staff and select personnel—will allow the idols to reflect briefly on their time in uniform and hint at what lies ahead. The agency emphasized that these will not be public events. RM and V, who both enlisted in December 2023 but served in different divisions (V in the elite Special Duty Team and RM in the Capital Defense Command), will be discharged and greet from Chuncheon. Jimin and Jungkook, who served together under the companionship program, will appear from Yeoncheon. BigHit clarified, 'Rather than at their respective bases, they will deliver brief messages and share their thoughts on being discharged at separate designated locations." Fans have been asked to refrain from gathering at military facilities due to safety and traffic concerns. 'There are no official ceremonies planned at the bases, and the roads and infrastructure cannot support large crowds. We kindly request your understanding and cooperation," the agency stated. While anticipation is sky-high, BigHit and HYBE have remained tight-lipped about any immediate reunion events, unlike the celebratory fanfare that accompanied Jin's return. Previous statements indicate that the group's return will be thoughtfully structured, with a phased approach to activities. Each member had wrapped up their solo schedules prior to enlistment, making an immediate group comeback unlikely. Rumors of a Jungkook world tour persist, but remain unconfirmed for now. Meanwhile, post-military life has already begun for Jin and J-Hope. The latter has returned in full force with new music including 'Dreams" (feat. Miguel) and 'MONA LISA," along with his Killin' It Girl tour, now playing to sold-out stadiums across the globe. J-Hope also recently graced the cover of Billboard. Jin dropped his solo album Happy and followed up with the heartfelt single Echo, marking his musical return in April and May 2025. As for SUGA, he continues to serve in the public sector due to a past shoulder injury, and is expected to complete his service on June 21. With his discharge, all seven BTS members will be back together for the first time since 2022. As fans hold their breath for what's next, one thing is certain—Chapter 2 of BTS is about to begin, and the world is ready. First Published: June 05, 2025, 20:00 IST

Abhishek Bachchan Pulls Off Nora Fatehi's Haye Garmi Hookstep; Amitabh Bachchan Reacts
Curated By : Last Updated: June 05, 2025, 17:35 IST Abhishek Bachchan's Housefull 5 releases on June 6. Abhishek Bachchan returns to comedy with Housefull 5, a film co-starring Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh as male leads. Ahead of the film's release tomorrow, June 6, the makers released a behind-the-scenes glimpse from Laal Pari shoot. Seconds into the video, and you'll see Abhishek pulling off Nora Fatehi's Garmi hookstep from Street Dancer 3D. His father, Amitabh Bachchan, took to X and reacted to the whole BTS clip. The shoot of Laal Pari song from Housefull 5 was a laughter riot. A video from the song's making is going viral on social media ahead of the film's release. However, the catch in the track has to be Abhishek lying on the ground and effortlessly pulling off Nora's tricky Garmi hookstep as the cast and crew cheered on. Akshay added his own flavour to the moment. Taking to X, Abhishek wrote, 'Chaotic? Yes. Glamorous? Definitely Fun? Always. Go behind the scenes of the track that's got everyone grooving! #LaalPari BTS Out Now! #Housefull5 releases in cinemas near you on 6th June 2025! Book your tickets Now!" Watch it here: The video invited a comment from Amitabh Bachchan. Numbering his X post, he wrote, 'T 5402 .. hahaha .. what a fun fun fun … !!!" Meanwhile, Housefull 5 will feature two entirely different climaxes in different theatres. Speaking about it, Sajid Nadiadwala shared, 'With Housefull 5, we wanted to take a bold creative swing that hasn't been done before internationally for any thriller film. The idea of having multiple endings, multiple experiences has been with me for 30 years. Since, i wanted to make Housefull 5 a thriller comedy, there couldn't have been a better way to execute my idea of having multiple endings than this." He added, 'It felt right to do something radical as we celebrate 75 years of Nadiadwala Grandson in the industry. Housefull is India's biggest comedy franchise and for the fifth instalment, we had to push the boundaries of what comedy can be. The idea of different endings came from a simple question: why should the audience always have just one version of the truth in a thriller? With Housefull 5, we've built a film that plays with form while staying completely rooted in entertainment. It's a killer comedy, literally, with twists that change depending on where you're watching it. and I'm proud we're doing it under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson as we mark 75 years in the business. Our legacy has always been about embracing scale, stars, and giving audiences newer experiences and Housefull 5 takes all it to another level." He further mentioned, 'It's a natural extension of the theatrical experience: creating intrigue, rewatch value, and a sense of discovery. In a world of spoilers and algorithms, we're bringing back that element of surprise. And that's where the fun begins." Housefull 5 stars an ensemble of 19 stars, comprising Akshay Kumar, joined by returning favourites and some new faces including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir.

WWE star John Cena once again professes his love for K-Pop group BTS, as ARMY awaits reunion after more than 2 years
John Cena (image via WWE) John Cena is one of the biggest names in the world of wrestling and is currently on his Farewell Tour. All this while, he is also maintaining his Hollywood commitments and being an unapologetic ARMY. And no, we are not talking about the military one, but the musical fandom one. Cena is very outspoken about his love for the K-pop band Bangtan Sonyendan or BTS, and during his latest public appearance at the Dallas Fan Expo, he once again shared his love for the South Korean sensation. John Cena on why he gravitates towards BTS John Cena was recently at a Fan Expo in Dallas when he spoke of his love for all things BTS. He has always been very candid about his ARMY status in the K-pop fandom and has often spoken of their impact. Not just on the public and the fans, but also on himself. And that is exactly what he reiterated at Dallas once again. "I don't necessarily like K-pop; I gravitate towards BTS," said the WWE veteran while sharing how the band inspired him at a time when he was struggling with self-worth. He further added: "What BTS specifically did for me is that they found me at the right time in my life to give me hope and inspiration through who they are as people. They reached a 48-year-old dude who was struggling with self-worth." It's been years since the wrestling legend began waving the purple flag, having spoken of BTS and the message of self-love they have tried to spread all over the world in numerous public appearances. And with the band reuniting after their mandatory military service this month, it looks like Cena found another opportunity to share his love for them. John Cena is gearing up for some tag team extravaganza at Money in the Bank WWE is hosting Money in the Bank on June 7 and it will be a night of some brilliant performances by the wrestling stars in the company. John Cena will face Cody Rhodes once more since that unforgettable night in Las Vegas. But this time, they will have company, as Rhodes will be backed by Jey Uso, and Cena will have Logan Paul at his side for the upcoming tag team match. The PPV event will be held at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, and is already speculated to be one for the books, given it's the first MITB to be broadcast live on Netflix for the international market. Other than the tag team match, there will be the men's and women's money in the bank ladder match as well as the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship last chance battle between Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch. Let's wait and see how the night turns out to be. Also Read: WWE Money in the Bank 2025: Final lineup for men's and women's ladder matches
