The 14th song in SUGA's 100-million club

and now, Burn It
Fans celebrate his achievement
Burn It isn't just a song! It's a symbol of Agust D 's raw introspection and the duality of light and dark that defines his artistry. Fans are celebrating the achievement not just because of the numbers. It also reflects the emotional connection that SUGA builds with his audience. Across online platforms, ARMYs have been flooding timelines with praise for the song and its continued success.
What's next for SUGA?
This streaming milestone also comes with added anticipation, as SUGA is set to complete his military service on June 21, 2025. Having enlisted on September 22, 2023, SUGA was assigned to alternative civilian service due to his previous shoulder surgery. While other BTS members served in active duty, SUGA completed his enlistment through a public service route. He is the last member of BTS to be discharged, following the returns of Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook.
Prior to his enlistment, SUGA gifted fans with his first full-length solo album, D-Day. It's the final installment of the Agust D trilogy. Now, fans are hopeful that new music, a BTS comeback, and solo appearances might be on the horizon.

Rice, spice and quiz marks Tasty Trivia's debut in Bhubaneswar
BHUBANESWAR: Tasty Trivia, a growing quizzing community, debuted in Bhubaneswar on Saturday by hosting an interesting quiz competition themed 'Rice, Spice & Everything Nice' at Patia-based The Space. Exploring Asia through the lens of Indian history, food, pop culture, and business, the quiz saw over 80 young professionals, students and curious minds gather for a full-house trivia evening. With clue-based questions, collaborative solving, and a warm, welcoming vibe, the event saw solo participants and teams of two take on a series of clever challenges. Started by Ashoka University alumni members Susovan Mahapatra and Saloni Mehta in Bangalore this year, they said trivia and quizzing have long been niche hobbies in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon and Bangalore, often limited to exclusive clubs or formal circuits. 'We began Tasty Trivia as a passion project to re-imagine quizzing as something more accessible, beginner-friendly and community-led. Our goal is to create inclusive, joyful offline spaces where anyone, not just seasoned quizzers, can show up, have fun, and leave with a new fact and a smile,' Susovan said. While Susovan has been a quizzer since school, Saloni discovered the joy of trivia more recently and the duo now hopes to make the format more open, social and beginner-friendly. Saloni is currently chief of staff at an American edtech company, while Susovan is part of the founding team at Aramya, one of India's fastest-growing ethnic wear brands. After a successful event at Bhubaneswar, they plan to host Tasty Trivia in cities like Delhi, Chandigarh, Goa and Hyderabad.

Blending past and present through emotional character arcs, the show has built a strong following since its premiere. As episode 10 approaches, viewers are eager to see how the story continues to unfold in its final stretch. What is Our Unwritten Seoul about? Our Unwritten Seoul follows the story of identical twin sisters, Yu Mi Ji and Yu Mi Rae, played by Park Min Young, who may look alike but lead very different lives. Mi Ji, once a rising sports star, is now adrift and unsure of her direction after a life-changing accident on the track field, while Mi Rae juggles a high-pressure corporate job and hides the emotional toll of workplace bullying. In a moment of desperation, the two decide to swap lives—what starts as a simple switch quickly turns into a life-altering journey filled with unexpected challenges, revelations, and personal growth. Park Jin Young takes on the role of Lee Hoo Soo, an idealistic aspiring lawyer whose strong moral compass often clashes with the harsh realities of the corporate world. Determined to succeed in his legal career, he finds himself constantly at odds with the unethical practices around him, making his journey both challenging and emotionally charged.

Mi Rae is gradually finding her strength and finally makes the bold decision to sue Sang Yeong. Taking things at her own pace, she's determined not to lose a fight she once walked away from. She's also planning to report him to the company for his history of sexual harassment and misconduct related to the HQ project. Armed with a recording in which Sang Yeong explicitly promises she wouldn't face consequences for stepping back from the project, Mi Rae begins to reclaim her voice. And while Mi Ji and Hee Soo offer steady support, it's Se Jin's return—and the moment he finds her in Seoul—that brings her the sense of comfort she's been quietly seeking.
