BTS V Wants To Play A Villain in Acting Comeback

Kim Taehyung is eager for his acting comeback
Kim Taehyung is eager for his acting comeback

It has been a long time since fans saw V as an actor but it looks like the BTS member is ready for an acting comeback. Kim Taehyung has just admitted he is considering a return into acting. Interestingly, V revealed that he is interested in playing a villain for a change!

V Admits Being Drawn To Villains When Watching New Films

Fans already know that V has a knack for acting. He previously played a small yet important role in KBS2’s “Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth”. But since then, Kim Taehyung has not returned to acting, choosing to focus on his career as an idol and a member of BTS.

Still, that doesn’t mean we won’t get to see Actor Kim Taehyung again in the future. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, V discussed why he was drawn to villains in films.

“I’m someone who just really loves watching movies,” he said. “Whenever I do, I find myself naturally drawn more to the villain characters rather than the heroes.”

Kim added that a great villain is what makes a film a masterpiece.

“I think that villains play a very big role in making that overall picture complete; they really have to sell their own charisma to make the movie come to life,” he said. “If the villain doesn’t really have depth to their character, or if there’s no chemistry between the characters, then the hero can’t really shine either.”

V also admitted that he is hoping to get the chance to play a villain one day.

“I’ve told a lot of my friends and people around me that I now have this ambition to play a villain at least once,” he said.

This is interesting news considering that ARMYs always view V as one of the good guys. On the other hand, it would be great to see him make his acting comeback in a villainous role. With that in mind, fans are already anticipating his return to acting in the future.

V is currently promoting his solo album ‘Layover’ and released a new music video for the track “Slow Dancing.”

BTS Jin Reminds Park Myung Soo of ‘World Wide Handsome’ Title

BTS member Jin is determined to keep his 'World Wide Handsome' title

Jin might be busy with completing his military service right now but the BTS member still found time to defend his ‘World Wide Handsome’ title. The “Moon” singer recently reached out to Park Myung Soo to remind the comedian about his title.

Jin Got Sulky When Park Myung Soo ‘Forgot’ About Him Being ‘World Wide Handsome’

In the latest episode of Park Myung Soo‘s web series “Halmyungsoo”, the comedian shared the recent text messages from Jin. In the messages, the BTS member was troubled because of something Park had said in another episode.

“I got a text message from Jin. ‘Hyung-nim, I’m disappointed,’” Park revealed while having a meal. He further explained that the BTS member had seen one of his segments where he chose the most good-looking celebrity in real life. The comedian had chosen someone other than Jin, which greatly troubled the idol.

“Jin watched my show. When I was asked who’s the most good-looking celebrity I’ve seen in person, I didn’t say it was him. So I think he got sulky,” Park said.

“I sent a long message saying I was sorry,” he continued. “He said, ‘Hyung-nim, when I get discharged, I will absolutely appear on your show again.’”

The comedian added that he was grateful that Jin contacted him even while serving in the military. Park further explained why he didn’t choose the original ‘World Wide Handsome’ during the segment.

“To be honest, of course, Jin is good-looking. Out-of-this-world [handsomeness] wasn’t included. Why are you sulking? Don’t be like that,” he said.

Jin is currently on mandatory military service. He enlisted as an active-duty soldier on December 13, 2022. Before his enlistment, Kim Seokjin released his debut solo single “The Astronaut”. The song, which he co-wrote with the British rock band Coldplay, was dropped on October 28, 2022. Jin is set to be discharged from military service on June 12, 2024.

V Confirms ‘Layover’ Is Connected to BTS’ ‘HYYH’ Era

The BTS member admitted that his solo album 'Layover' is closely connected to the group's beloved 'HYYH' era

There is little doubt that the “Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa” series is still one of BTS’ most memorable eras. In fact, the iconic music from the albums continues to be a favorite for most fans. So it’s no surprise that ARMYs are not the only ones who can’t get over the “HYYH” era. According to V, his solo album ‘Layover’ is influenced and strongly connected to the supergroup’s ‘The Most Beautiful Moment in Life’ era.

V Discusses Love for Jazz and Not Being Over the ‘HYYH’ Era

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, V delved into the creative inspiration behind his latest project, ‘Layover’, drawing special influence from the world of jazz. He recounted his journey of falling in love with jazz music, noting that his affection for the genre didn’t blossom instantaneously. Instead, it was a rediscovery that eventually led to a profound and genuine appreciation.

The interviewer then ventured into the realm of nostalgia, curious whether V’s affinity for jazz implied a nostalgic streak in his personality. To this, the idol nodded in agreement, sharing that he indeed feels a deep connection between his fondness for jazz and his memories of “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life.”

“I think you can think of it as connected to BTS’ ‘The Most Beautiful Moment in Life’ series, which showcased the theme of youth,” V said. “You know, when you look back into your past and feel sentimental about those old memories. That strange feeling that comes with reflecting back on your old self, and thinking, ‘I wish I could go back to those good old days…’”

How ‘HYYH’ Influenced ‘Layover’

He further added that the influence is evident in most of the songs in ‘Layover’.

“I think that overall sentiment is also reflected in this album,” V said. “Particularly the song ‘Love Me Again’ is about reminiscing and wanting to return to the past. I think those ideas are reflected in the music video as well. So in short, my youth is not over. Right?”

The BTS discography’s ‘HYYH’ (Hwa Yong Yeon Hwa) era encompasses a collection of albums known as “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life.” During this period, BTS delved into diverse themes associated with the trials and tribulations of transitioning into adulthood. The three albums in the series include ‘The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 1’, ‘The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2’, and ‘The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever’.

BTS’ SUGA and Taylor Swift Have Something in Common

BTS‘ SUGA, also known by his second stage name, Agust D, has carved his name into the annals of music history. 

He has become one of only two artists with at least three number-one albums on iTunes in over 100 countries. This monumental achievement places him alongside American pop star Taylor Swift, who has four albums—Speak Now, 1989, Lover, and Reputation—that achieved this distinction. Trailing behind BTS’ SUGA and Taylor are Adele and Beyoncé, who each have two. 

SUGA is the first artist in history to have all of his albums reach the top spot on iTunes in over 100 countries. He also saw three of his singles—“Daechwita,” “Haegeum,” and “People Pt.2”—reach No. 1 on iTunes in over 100 countries.

SUGA’s journey to this achievement began with his first mixtape, Agust D, released in 2016. It was a raw, unfiltered reflection of his thoughts, tracing his path from obscurity to stardom. He put out another mixtape titled D-2 in 2020. Bannered by the hit single “Daechwita,” this mixtape captured the essence of his experiences as a 28-year-old. SUGA completed the trilogy when he released his first studio album D-DAY earlier this year.

BTS’ SUGA accomplished many things

But his accomplishments aren’t limited to the charts. He recently concluded a world tour that took him to countries like Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, and Thailand. SUGA has also penetrated fashion and sports. In January 2023, he was unveiled as the brand ambassador for the luxury fashion house Valentino. By April, he was representing the NBA as an ambassador.

Fans also got an intimate look into his life with the documentary SUGA: Road to D-DAY, available on Disney+. This documentary chronicled the process of putting together his first studio album. But amid all SUGA’s success, a sad note was struck when BIGHIT MUSIC announced that he would soon enlist in the South Korean military.

While the announcement was made shortly after his tour ended last month, there has been no word from BIGHIT MUSIC or SUGA himself regarding his enlistment date. In fact, things have been so quiet that some fans believe BTS’ SUGA enlisted quietly, without all the fanfare that accompanied Jin’s and j-hope’s enlistments. 

If they’re right, all SUGA’s fans can do now is pray for his safe return. They can also take comfort in the fact that he left them with this achievement before he enlisted. – K-Pop News Writer

What Part Did BTS’ RM Play in the ‘Blooming Hwarot’ Exhibit?

The “Hwarot,” a symbol of Korean tradition and culture, is set to be showcased to the public, thanks to a generous donation from BTS’ RM. On September 15, the National Palace Museum of Korea will open a special exhibition. “Hwarot in Full Bloom, Joseon Royal Women’s Wedding Dress.” It’s a deep dive into the history and significance of the Hwarot.

What is a ‘Hwarot’?

Traditionally worn by princesses and other members of the nobility during formal ceremonies in the Joseon Dynasty, the Hwarot later became a popular wedding dress. Currently, only 40 Hwalots exist worldwide, with RM’s contribution playing a significant role in preserving one of them. In September 2022, he donated 100 million KRW (approximately 75,000 USD) to the Overseas Cultural Heritage Foundation. RM did the same thing in 2021, but it wasn’t until this year that word of his generosity came to light.

According to reports, the only request BTS’ RM made was that the foundation put his contributions toward preserving, restoring, and utilizing cultural assets abroad. So it was that the foundation fell to work with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to preserve a Hwarot. People believe artisans crafted this Hwarot back in the early 20th century. Art collector Bella Mabury donated it to LACMA in 1939. Its intricate designs make it a captivating piece for comparison and examination.

In 2022, an Overseas Cultural Heritage Foundation official said it would take around five months to restore the Hwalot to its former glory. Now that it’s in good condition, there are plans to exhibit it in LACMA next year. But it’ll stay in Gyeongbokgung Palace until December 13, surrounded by eight other exquisite Hwarots from the Joseon Dynasty. Reports say Princess Bokon, King Sunjo’s second daughter, wore one. “Visitors to the exhibit can feel the Hwarot’s beauty and the hopes for a happy life contained within it,” the museum shared.

What else is BTS’ RM up to?

But the philanthropy displayed by BTS’ RM doesn’t stop there. In a bid to introduce the beauty of Korean paintings to the world, his donation will fund the production of a catalog introducing Korean paintings. The Overseas Cultural Heritage Foundation plans to collaborate with experts to produce a catalog of Korean paintings scattered in galleries and museums worldwide. It’s unknown when and where this catalog will be distributed. But given BTS’ RM and his global popularity, it’ll surely boost interest in Korean cultural assets abroad.

RM’s dedication to preserving Korean heritage is commendable. As a foundation official said, “We’ll work with RM to spread interest in preserving and utilizing Korean cultural assets abroad.” Through his actions, BTS’ RM showcases the beauty of his country’s culture and sets an example for others to follow. – K-Pop News Writer

September 5 was a big day for the BTS ARMY. After a month away from the limelight, BTS’ leader Kim Namjoon, known to fans as RM, graced a Bottega Veneta event in Seoul.

RM made his presence felt at the grand opening of Suki Seokyeong Kang’s exhibition, “Willow Drum Oriole,” a collaboration with Bottega Veneta. The musician’s appointment as the brand’s first-ever celebrity ambassador was announced in March of this year. Since then, RM has attended different events, fulfilling his ambassadorial duties with grace. At this exhibition, he cut a dashing figure in a greenish-beige full-sleeved shirt and leather pants. His outfit screamed “brand ambassador”—it was sleek, stylish, and undeniably eye-catching.

However, what truly captivated attendees and fans alike was his approachable and warm demeanor. He engaged in meaningful conversations with people, showcasing his down-to-earth and friendly and down-to-earth nature. Notably, RM had the opportunity to converse with several prominent figures, including Bottega Venetta’s CEO, Bartolomeo Leo Rongone. These interactions not only solidified his role as a brand ambassador but also highlighted his ability to connect with everyone. His interaction with the artist behind the exhibition, Suki Seokyeong Kang, was significant as it demonstrated RM’s deep interest in the art world.

RM has always loved Bottega Venetta

Fans were quick to express their admiration on X (formerly Twitter), noting his passion for art. He has been known to visit museums globally, often sharing his experiences and insights on social media. This appreciation for art mirrors his intellectual depth and creativity, qualities that shine through in his music and lyrics.

It’s no surprise that RM’s doing well as a brand ambassador for Bottega Venetta. He has worn many pieces from the brand over the years. Before the brand brought him on board, RM talked about his desire to work with them. “I’d love to. Although I’ve lost interest in brands, fashion weeks, and the constant change in Pantone, Bottega Venetta is different,” he told media outlet El Pais in a previous interview. “They don’t use a logo, they have a history with weaving and leather, they don’t even have Instagram. They’re beyond the buzz.”

RM‘s presence at the “Willow Drum Oriole” exhibition celebrated the fusion of art and fashion. As he continues to make waves in the realms of fashion and art, fans eagerly await the next chapter in RM‘s journey as an art lover and fashion icon. – K-Pop News Writer

End of an Era: ‘BTS World’ Game to Shut Down After 4 Years

Sad news, ARMYs. BTS WORLD, the mobile game dedicated to the world-renowned K-pop group BTS, will cease its services by the end of December this year. 

On Tuesday, September 5, Netmarble, the company behind the game, announced the impending shutdown of BTS WORLD.  “Thank you for your love and support for BTS WORLD,” they told the users. 

 

“This announcement is to inform that BTS WORLD will be discontinuing its service starting Tuesday, December 26 2023.”, the statement read.

More details about the service termination schedule and rules were mentioned in the post. As of writing, the game is no longer downloadable on Play Store or App Store.

“We greatly appreciate the support and love shown by the Managers towards our game,” Netmarble said. Additionally, they also assured users that they will make sure to minimize the conveniences until the service closes.

First launched in June 2019, BTS WORLD is a story-based mobile simulation game. In it, fans step into the shoes of BTS’ manager where they guide the members from pre-debut to stardom. Moreover, the game featured original soundtrack, exclusive video clip, and new photos of the BTS members.

 

The decision to shut down the game came after the release of its final chapter, Chapter 22, was made available in June 2022. 

 ARMYs’ requests

Sadly, BTS WORLD isn’t the first BTS game to come to an end. In June 2020, Superstar BTS also concluded its services despite the global fandom’s massive support. 

Upon hearing the news of another game closing, ARMYs pleaded with the company to archive BTS’ content created for the game. Given how well-thought of the flow of the game is, some fans are claiming it would be a shame to lose it all. 

As a way to remember the game, some fans created a thread of BTS WORLD’s full story lines, including its stunning soundtrack.

“Please consider creating an archive for all the artist-made content included in the game. it would be a shame to lose all of that for good especially after all the hard work the artists put into it and how much love ARMYs have for all the material,” one fan wrote.

 

Others, meanwhile, thanked the game and its developers. Some fans listed the amount of content that fans got from the platform. While many were applauding how the game gave them “another part of the BTS multiverse storytelling.” 

BTS made their debut in June 2013 with the single “2 COOL 4 SKOOL.” The septet has since established world records and even entered the Guinness World Records Hall of Fame.

In June 2022, the group announced that they’re taking a break to focus on solo releases while other members enlist in the military. 

They marked their 10th anniversary in 2023 with the release of their book Beyond The Story: 10th Year Record of BTS
