BTS reunion! On World Music Day 2025, let's revisit songs by Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, & Jung Kook that built ARMY
June 21 truly marks an iconic moment - BTS is finally reunited, with rapper SUGA, aka Min Yoongi (also known by his alter ego Agust D), completing his military service. Fittingly, it's also World Music Day, a celebration of the very art that brought BTS and ARMY together. On this special day - honouring both music and reunion - let's take a look at some unforgettable BTS songs by Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook that turned listeners into fans, and fans into devoted ARMY. I NEED U (2015) The song that is widely regarded as the turning point in BTS' early career. The track catapulted them from just another K-pop idol on the block to serious contenders among top groups. The song captured their emotional depth, raw vulnerability, and had a cinematic storytelling which resonated deeply with fans. It also marked BTS' first top 10 entry on the Korean charts and earned them their very first music show win. Dope (2015) This track showcased BTS in a bold, energetic, and unapologetically confident way. The intense choreography and hard-hitting electronic beat only helped solidify their performance reputation. In fact the iconic "Welcome, first time with BTS?" line at the start of the song became an instant catchphrase and was used not only by ARMY but many other K-pop idols for their performances as well. This song only fueled their rise in Korea and gained traction internationally thanks to viral performances and reaction videos. Blood Sweat & Tears (2016) Who can ever forget this era? BTS stepped into a new kind of artistry where they combined lush visuals, a more mature concept, and a genre-blending sound. The track played a key role in elevating their domestic popularity as they achieved multiple music show wins and year-end awards. Not just that, it got in so many international fans proving that BTS could push boundaries both musically and visually. For many, this song marked the moment BTS evolved as a group that wasn't just popular, but also visionary. Boy With Luv (2019) This vibrant, feel-good track featuring American singer Halsey became one of BTS' most listen to songs, both in South Korea and abroad. It captured a softer, more joyful energy that contrasted with their previous darker themes. It broke records for YouTube views and chart performance, and its catchy chorus and colorful concept made it a favorite among both longtime ARMY and casual listeners. It was a cultural moment, further cementing BTS' place in mainstream pop. Dynamite (2020) Released during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when BTS had to cancel their tour, this song was BTS' first fully English single - and a game-changer. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making BTS the first South Korean act to achieve that feat. The song's retro disco vibe, uplifting message, and global appeal brought comfort and joy during difficult times. Dynamite wasn't just a commercial hit - it was a symbol of BTS' ability to unite fans across the world through music, regardless of language.

Butterfly OTT Release Date: If you're a fan of thrilling spy dramas with emotional stakes, action, and a global lens, Butterfly is one series you won't want to miss. Premiering on August 13, 2025, the show will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video, with all six episodes dropping on the same day. Here's everything we know so far about the thriller. What is Butterfly about? Butterfly is a rollercoaster set against the backdrop of global intelligence warfare. At its heart is David Jung, played by Daniel Dae Kim, a former US intelligence operative now living in South Korea. David is unpredictable, enigmatic, and carrying the emotional weight of a decision from his past that's now come back to destroy the quiet life he tried to build. That destruction arrives in the form of Rebecca (played by Reina Hardesty), a cold, calculated, and deadly young agent sent to kill him. But it's just business, orchestrated by Caddis, the shadowy spy organisation Rebecca works for. The cat-and-mouse chase between these two complicated characters forms the backbone of the show. Meet the cast Daniel Dae Kim (Lost, Hawaii Five-0, Avatar: The Last Airbender) leads as David Jung, the hunted ex-agent trying to make peace with his past. Reina Hardesty (The Secret Art of Human Flight) stars as Rebecca, the young, sociopathic agent sent to eliminate David. Piper Perabo (Yellowstone, Billions) and Louis Landau (Rivals) appear as series regulars, their roles tightly guarded for now but expected to bring more twists to this spy web. The recurring cast includes major Korean stars such as Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, and Kim Tae-hee, as well as international talents like Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, and Nayoon Kim. Veteran Korean actors Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa also make guest appearances. Who's behind the camera? Butterfly is based on the graphic novel of the same name, created by Arash Amel (A Private War). The screen adaptation is led by Ken Woodruff (Gotham, The Mentalist) and acclaimed author Steph Cha, who co-created and co-wrote the series. Woodruff also serves as the showrunner. Daniel Dae Kim is also executive producing Butterfly through his production company 3AD, which developed Butterfly under its first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios. Other executive producers include John Cheng (3AD), Stephen Christy and Ross Richie (BOOM! Studios), Arash Amel (The Amel Company) and Adam Yoelin (Co-EP for BOOM! Studios). The first two episodes have been directed by Kitao Sakurai, known for his stylised and offbeat approach (Bad Trip, The Eric Andre Show).

Squid Game actor Yim Si-wan: I didn't read the script, I just knew I had to be in it
Korean singer and actor Yim Si-wan has built a strong filmography that showcases his range as a performer. Si-wan began his career as a member of the K-pop group ZE:A but it was his breakout role in The Attorney (2013) that earned him critical acclaim. Establishing himself as an actor with a knack for portraying complex and intense characters, he has since been part of several popular shows and films, including Misaeng (2014), Run On (2021), Emergency Declaration (2022), and Summer Strike (2023). Now, he returns in the final season of the mega-hit Squid Game. Si-wan plays Myung Gi, a.k.a. Player 333—a former cryptocurrency influencer whose misguided investment scheme results in heavy financial losses for both himself and his followers. On the run, Myung Gi enters the deadly game, only to come face to face with those he had wronged, including his now-pregnant former girlfriend, whom he had previously ghosted. The actor reveals that he tends to immerse himself deeply in the roles he plays—so much so that he carries his on-screen characters with him long after the shoot has ended. 'I'm not the type who can easily switch on and off—that is, go in and out of character. I carry my screen characters with me to a certain extent. Rather than detaching from them immediately, I find that these characters become part of me, etched into the fabric of my life.' In an exclusive interview with HT City, the actor shares that he accepted the part of Myung Gi without even reading the script, simply because he was a fan of Squid Game. 'The first time I saw the character of Myung Gi, he came across as someone who is constantly straddling the line between good and evil. But as the show progressed, he felt very human—someone who was not capable of making the right choices due to his greed. I think it's fair to say that he may not be purely evil, but rather, a foolish person.' Si-wan says that his takeaway from playing Myung Gi is that one should neither be too greedy nor make foolish investments out of greed. One of the most sought-after actors of his generation, the 36-year-old Si-wan is also listed among the Korean actors who represent the present and future of cinema. Having lent his voice to soundtracks for The King in Love, Tracer, and Boyhood, would Si-wan contemplate the possibility of an Indian collaboration? 'Going forward as an actor, I wish to continue to wrestle with my characters, make every effort to portray them diligently, and continue developing myself. One day, I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to perform in India,' he signs off with a smile.
