Waiting for you, Min Yoongi! With 6 BTS members back, ARMY begins countdown to SUGA's military discharge

By June 11, 2025, six members of the world's biggest group, BTS, have completed their mandatory military service. Jin, the oldest member of the K-pop supergroup, was discharged in June 2024, followed by J-Hope in October.
RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook were discharged on June 10 and 11, respectively. Now, ARMY eagerly awaits the return of rapper and producer SUGA, also known as Min Yoongi.
When will BTS' SUGA be discharged?
With the final two members discharged on June 11, all eyes are now on Min Yoongi, as ARMY begins the countdown to his return. SUGA, who has been fulfilling his mandatory service in the public sector due to a previous shoulder surgery, is set to complete his duties on June 21. He will be the last member to finish his enlistment, marking the full reunion of all seven BTS members by the end of June 2025.
However, according to a user on X (formerly Twitter), SUGA might actually be discharged a day earlier, on Friday, June 20. They explained, "Yoongi is serving as a public service worker, so his discharge is likely to happen after his final shift. Since June 21 falls on a Saturday — a day when public offices in South Korea are typically closed — it's possible he could be officially free by Friday evening."
Yoongi is in public service worker, so his discharge is more likely to happen late after a finished shift. June 21st is also a Saturday, and in South Korea public offices typically don't work on saturdays. It means that he might be factually free with Friday closing on June 20th.…
The user also noted that, unlike active-duty soldiers, public service workers do not have formal discharge ceremonies. "It's more like an employee ending a contract — they return their passes and belongings, and that's it. So, all things considered, Yoongi could pop up on Weverse at any time this weekend."
Waiting for you, Min Yoongi
Soon enough, ARMY flooded X to state that they are waiting for the "cat-like" member of the group and are hoping he is doing well for now. Especially after he was made a scapegoat of fake news over him drunk riding an e-scooter and falling down while taking a sharp turn.
ARMY only wish he knows he is loved and started tags like "ARMYS ARE WAITING FOR YOU YOONGI" and "Suga we are waiting for you".

J K Rowling confirms close partnership with writers for new Harry Potter series

Washington [US], June 22 (ANI): Amid ongoing controversies surrounding J K Rowling's anti-transgender stance, the author is giving her support to the much-anticipated Harry Potter HBO series, slated to premiere in 2026. Despite a growing boycott from many fans, Rowling remains an outspoken advocate for the show, revealing that she has worked closely with the writers to ensure the series lives up to the magic of her beloved books. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Rowling raved about the first two episodes of the new Harry Potter series, writing, "I read the first two episodes of the forthcoming HBO Harry Potter series and they are SO, SO, SO GOOD!" The enthusiastic endorsement comes as the project enters its production phase, with Warner Bros. Discovery gearing up to bring the wizarding world to the small screen. When asked if she is writing the series, Rowling clarified that she isn't penning the scripts herself. However, she confirmed that she's played an integral role behind the scenes, replying, "No, but I've worked closely with the extremely talented writers." The announcement comes at a time when Rowling's controversial views on transgender issues have sparked backlash and led to calls for boycotts of the new adaptation. Critics argue that her stance might influence the new series, but HBO executives have been firm in their commitment to the project. Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO, addressed the ongoing situation in a recent interview, explaining that Rowling's personal views will not dictate the direction of the show. "The decision to be in business with J.K. Rowling is not new for us," Bloys remarked, adding, "We've been in business for 25 years. We already have a show on HBO from her called C.B. Strike that we do with the BBC," as quoted by Deadline. He added that, while Rowling's views may be polarising, the studio is focused on the story itself. "Harry Potter is not secretly being infused with anything. If you want to debate her, you can go on Twitter," Bloys said, indicating that the series would remain true to the spirit of the books, which are known for their themes of love, self-acceptance, and friendship, as reported by Deadline. Rowling's role in the adaptation has been a point of interest for fans and critics alike. It has been confirmed that she will serve as an executive producer on the series through her production company, Bronte Film and TV. According to reports obtained by Deadline, Rowling was involved in the initial pitch process for the series, ensuring her vision for the world of Harry Potter remained intact. Bloys also reassured fans that the show would prioritise the core themes of the Harry Potter universe. "Our priority is what's on the screen," Bloys shared, adding, "Obviously, the Harry Potter story is incredibly affirmative and positive and about love and self-acceptance. That's our priority, what's on screen," as quoted by Deadline. While HBO continues to back Rowling's involvement, the controversy surrounding her statements on transgender issues remains a contentious topic. The author's past remarks, including her praise for a UK Supreme Court ruling that restricts the legal recognition of trans women, have drawn sharp criticism from various sectors of the film and TV industry. In response, over 400 individuals, including actors, writers, and activists, have signed a letter urging the UK's entertainment industry to take action against her on trans rights. One notable signatory was actor Paapa Essiedu, who has been cast in the new Harry Potter series as Professor Snape. Essiedu, a vocal advocate for trans rights, joined the letter expressing concern about Rowling's controversial stance and its potential impact on the show's legacy. (ANI)

Fate intervenes in the form of Ballu (Daivik Bhagela), an outspoken, street-smart 8-year-old who's been surviving solo on India's chaotic streets. What begins as a chance meeting becomes the beginning of something far more profound. Kaalidhar Laapata will be available on ZEE5 on July 4.
