• BTS's Jin Stuns with His Post-Military Looks

    BTS's Jin has wowed fans with his amazing visuals since his military discharge.

    On August 5, Jin shared several selfies on his personal SNS with the caption "Peach." In the photos, Jin is seen enjoying a peach while sitting on a red sofa. His short haircut, noticeable since his recent discharge, caught everyone's eye.

    Jin also showed off his fashion sense. Even in a simple white t-shirt and jeans, he impressed fans with his tall figure and stylish look.

    Jin was discharged from the army on June 12, having served as a sergeant in the 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province. BTS members visited the base to celebrate, causing quite a stir.

    During the visit, RM, who was in the military band, played BTS's hit song "Dynamite" on the saxophone. J-Hope gave Jin a warm hug, and Jimin, V, and Jungkook followed with their own hugs to congratulate him. Suga, who is serving as a social service worker, was not able to attend.

    The next day, June 13, Jin joined the offline event '2024 FESTA' in Songpa-gu, Seoul, celebrating BTS’s debut with fans. He took part in the 'Jin's Greetings' hug event with 1,000 fans and performed on stage in the event 'June 13, 2024: Seokjin, Clear Weather,' showing different sides of himself.

    On July 14, Jin was a torchbearer for the '2024 Paris Summer Olympics,' a special event coinciding with France's National Day.

    Jin said, "It was an honor to take part in such a meaningful event. Thanks to ARMY for their support, I was able to fulfill this role. I was nervous, but the cheers from the crowd helped me do my best. I hope South Korean athletes do well in the Olympics, and I also hope the '17th Paris Paralympics' gets a lot of attention. I will continue to work hard and show my best side."

    In Paris, Jin carried the torch from Rivoli Street to Carrousel Plaza and handed it over to former French freestyle skier Sandra Laoura in front of the Louvre Museum’s pyramid. After a 10-minute relay, he waved goodbye to the audience.

    With Jin's discharge marking the start, BTS will slowly wrap up their military hiatus. Next up is J-Hope, who is set to be discharged on October 17.

    The other members will follow, with RM and V discharging on June 10, 2025, and Jimin and Jungkook on June 11, 2025. Suga, currently a social service worker, will be discharged on June 21, 2025.

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
