J-Hope reveals why 2018 was a difficult time for BTS, how it became scary: ‘It started feeling overwhelming'
J-Hope opens up on difficult times faced by BTS in 2018
J-Hope was asked about the most difficult time in his career. He replied, as translated by allkpop, "Around 2018, BTS was receiving so much love that I started wondering if we truly deserved all that attention. People's eyes on us became a little scary. Normally, getting a reaction is something to be grateful for, but it started feeling overwhelming. Even the members went through a bit of a slump."
J-Hope shares how BTS members sailed through the tough times
The BTS member shared that the group managed to overcome those emotions together. He added that they got through it by "reminding ourselves of our message—Love Yourself". The rapper said that the "idea wasn't just for others; it applied to us too. And as we embraced it, we found real strength'. He also said that writing songs helped BTS "learn and grow emotionally".
What are J-Hope's concerns now about BTS
When asked if he had any recent concerns, J-Hope talked about BTS' upcoming activities. 'Now that all the members have completed their military service, we're preparing to resume team activities. But it's been such a long time—we haven't been together as seven in nearly three or four years. I'm constantly thinking about how to best coordinate things with the members as we reunite. It's been so long, so I want to do it right,' he added.
As a full group, the last release of BTS was Yet to Come (2022). After that, the BTS members served in the military. Jin started his military service in December 2022 and completed it in June last year. J-Hope was discharged in October 2023. Namjoon, Suga, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook completed their service in June this year.

Nargis Fakhri Reveals Her 9-Day Water Fasting Routine: ‘Face Glows, Jawline Pops'
Last Updated: Nargis Fakhri reveals her extreme 9-day water-only fast done twice a year. She calls it effective but not recommended, crediting it for her glow and jawline. Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri has sent shockwaves through the fitness and wellness world with her jaw-dropping revelation: she fasts for nine days straight on nothing but water—twice a year. In a candid conversation with Soha Ali Khan on Hauterrfly's YouTube channel, the Rockstar actress detailed her intense wellness ritual that left the host visibly stunned. 'I do fasting twice a year, no food at all, just water for nine days. It's very difficult," Nargis confessed. 'But once I'm done, I'm telling you, you look snatched. I mean, the jawline is out, the face is glowing. But I wouldn't recommend it." While the transformation sounds visually dramatic, Nargis was quick to clarify that wellness isn't about extreme measures. 'Everybody wants a quick fix, but there's no quick fix. It's always a combination of things," she said, advocating a more holistic approach. The secret to her sustained glow and fitness, she shared, lies in the basics: good sleep, proper hydration, and mindful eating. 'I sleep like eight hours a night. I also try to hydrate. Then also, my food choices. Like, I want foods that are nutritious and have vitamins and minerals in it," she added. Nargis recently returned to the spotlight with her appearance in Housefull 5, marking a much-anticipated comeback. She first broke onto the Bollywood scene with the 2011 cult hit Rockstar, opposite Ranbir Kapoor, and soon became a familiar face with her roles in Main Tera Hero, Azhar, Housefull 3, Dishoom, and the peppy dance number Dhating Naach with Shahid Kapoor. Though she hasn't announced her next cinematic project, fans are already buzzing about her return—not just for her on-screen presence, but for her bold take on beauty, wellness, and the no-shortcuts approach to feeling your best.

Abhishek Bachchan says daughter Aaradhya is turning into a wonderful lady because of wife Aishwarya Rai: ‘She does the heavy lifting…'
Abhishek Bachchan is currently on a promotional spree. He has been promoting his film Kaalidhar Laapata that released on Zee 5 on July 4. Apart from talking about the film, he has been giving a lot of insights about his family, daughter Aaradhya and wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan that every fan is interested in knowing. In a recent interview, the I Want To Talk star revealed that his daughter does not have a phone and is not on any social media and gave all the credit to his beautiful wife. Abhishek Bachchan gives credit to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for raising Aaradhya Bachchan Talking to Nayandeep Rakshit on his YouTube channel, Abhishek Bachchan was asked about the challenges they face in raising a child in today's day and time. He was asked whether Aaradhya Bachchan had a reckoning of the fame her parents or grandparents enjoy. The Sarkar actor instantly replied that he had never really spoken to her daughter about this, but he believed that she has grown up now and understands everything. He further added that the credit for this entirely goes to her mother, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Talking about his privilege, he spoke, 'I have the liberty, I get to go out and make my movie, and Aishwarya does the heavy lifting with Aaradhya, and she is amazing and selfless. Which I find amazing.' He confessed that fathers do not have the ability to be as giving as mothers because they are wired in a different way. They cannot prioritise their child as the top priority, and this is a gift that only mothers possess, said Junior Bachchan. Abhishek Bachchan on Aaradhya being the pride of the family Elaborating on how it still stands true for him at 49, Abhishek said, 'My mom is 76, I'm 49 and that's your comfort for every child. And no matter how old you are, to your mother, you are always going to be a baby.' Bachchan further revealed that daughter Aaradhya is not on any social media and does not have a phone also. 'She is turning up to be a wonderful little lady. She is the pride and joy of the family, and ya, we are blessed,' concluded the Kaalidhar Laapata star.
