BTS member V returned to civilian life after completing his military training on June 10. It's just been over a week since his discharge, and he is already everywhere, engaging in various kind of activities, like making dance reels, attending J-Hope's concert, playing golf, visiting piano recitals and more. Recently, on June 19, he made a cameo in Kim Jong Kook's Youtube show and created a stir on social media with it. BTS' V surprises Haha on Kim Jong Kook's show Kim Taehyung aka V made a voice cameo in the latest episode of YouTube channel Gym Jong Kook. It featured Haha, his son Dream, and bodybuilder Ma Sun Ho as guests. During one segment, host Kim Jong Kook jokingly asked someone to congratulate Haha on the realese of his new album Sunny Day, as the episode was primarily focused on that. The one who responded to that, was Haha's industry acquaintance V. V chimed in with a heartfelt message, saying, "Congrats on the album, Haha hyung (older brother)," accompanied by a thumbs-up gesture in front of the camera. Despite not appearing on screen, fans didn't fail to identify the voice of the Love wins all singer. His congratulatory wish sent Haha into joyful shock. Visibly stunned, he couldn't help but laugh. He subtly hinted at V's identity by jumping and flashing a V-sign to the camera. Despite Kim Jong Kook's desperate attempts to keep his team and guests from getting distracted by V, he failed. They kept waving at V and Haha even ended up saying, "Taehyung, take care." Kim Taehyung cameo impact! Though in the video, just V's voice was heard, it managed to create a stir on social media and make it to several K-media headlines. Fans called him "main character" for his unparalleled impact and expected to see his brawny appearance in the next episode of the show. V and Haha's friendship is over a decade old. Back in 2015, the BTS member recommended Haha's song, Story of a Short Kid, on BTS' X (formerly Twitter), describing it as a track that "gave me great comfort when I was little". Giving a nod to that, Haha referred to V on Kim Jong Kook's show as "the one who gave a shout-out to my song on Twitter.'

Pele's abandoned mansion taken over by nature and left damaged by vandals
Pele's abandoned mansion taken over by nature and left damaged by vandals Content creators filmed the inside of Pele's abandoned mansion after the Brazilian icon's death in 2022 and found the property to be in a significantly run down state Pele passed away at the age of 82 on December 29, 2022 (Image: Getty Images ) Content creators have filmed the interior of Pele's mansion following the football legend's death, revealing the property to be in a state of significant disrepair. The Brazilian superstar rose to fame in 1958 at just 17 years of age when he clinched his first of three FIFA World Cups with Brazil. The forward had an illustrious career, spending 18 years with his childhood club Santos before moving to the United States to play for the New York Cosmos, where he retired in 1977. After hanging up his boots, Pele became a global ambassador for football and supported numerous charitable causes. However, his health took a toll as in 2021, he fell seriously ill and was diagnosed with colon cancer. After undergoing several rounds of chemotherapy, he sadly passed away in December 2022 at the age of 82. His cause of death was multiple organ failure, a complication from his previous cancer diagnosis. The football pitch in the garden can barely been seen because of the overwhelming foliage (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) The swimming pool is riddled with algae (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) Article continues below The Santos icon's last but one residence was a million-pound mansion on Pernambuco Beach in Guaruja, boasting a football pitch, swimming pool, tennis court and bar, reports the Mirror. In 2024, influencer Lucas Wesley and two of his content creator friends gained access to the property. Wesley, who uploaded the 90-minute video on TikTok in October 2024 which amassed over 2.5 million views, claimed they were able to enter the property after discovering the garage door slightly ajar. The influencer took to Instagram earlier this month to reshare the footage he'd captured, leading to renewed attention on his discoveries on social media. He relayed that there was no response from within the property and that it appeared vacant. The footage captured the totality of the poor state of Pele's mansion (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) "Getting to know this place and seeing up close everything that once belonged to Pelé is indescribable," Wesley said. "For anyone who is a football fan and knows Pelé's history, they would certainly be moved by everything there, just as we were." Yet, he conveyed his emotional distress upon witnessing the dilapidated state of the property, which is under the care of Pele's son Edinho. "[It was] dirty and vandalised," he lamented. "For us fans, it leaves a truly sad feeling." Pictures featuring the football icon were still seen in the home (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) Wesley's video showcased the garden's football pitch, engulfed in foliage, and a swimming pool beset with algae, imbuing the water with a greenish tinge. Edinho's legal representative, Augusto Miglioli, countered claims that the property is abandoned, asserting it's merely an inheritance from Pele. Significant undergrowth concealed parts of the estate, gates bore the signs of rust, and spiders' webs enveloped corners of the structure. Miglioli issued a stern warning to Wesley and his companions about potential civil and criminal repercussions. Collections of CDs, books and posters were clattered across the floor (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) The bar structure remained standing in the mansion (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) Lawyer Thyago Garcia has clarified the legal definition of an abandoned property, stating that it's not simply about the building being unoccupied or in disrepair. "The mere deterioration, lack of maintenance, or even being unoccupied for a long period of time does not suffice to describe it as legally abandoned," Garcia said. Article continues below He further explained that just because a property can be accessed through unlocked doors or open windows, it doesn't give anyone the right to enter without the owner's permission. Content cannot be displayed without consent "Possession and ownership are protected by law regardless of property condition," he added. The mansion in question, which now stands neglected, was once a vibrant venue where the football legend entertained friends and celebrities in parties and gatherings.

I DIY'd a 18ft dream pool in my back garden – it should have cost £40K but I saved a fortune & it looks so good
A SAVVY mum has revealed that rather than break the bank on her dream swimming pool, she decided to DIY it herself. Instead of splashing £40,000 on a deluxe 18ft pool for summer, Natalie Ward, 39, who lives in a detached house in Woking, nabbed bargains from Amazon, Costco, Halfords and even Facebook Marketplace to glam up her garden and create her own luxury chill space. 9 A DIY fan has revealed that rather than paying professionals to build her a £40,000 swimming pool, she DIY'd her own on a budget Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 9 The "wonky" garden was in need of some TLC Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 9 And Natalie wanted a pool for her children to enjoy on hot days Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 Now, Natalie has transformed her garden from a muddy patch to a backyard oasis and we think it looks incredibly impressive. The entrepreneurial strategist, who is Managing Director of Embur, a high-quality, affordable activewear brand, spent less than £3,000 on her DIY job - and it won't come as a surprise that her seven-year-old daughter and five-year-old son are obsessed with it. Not only do the other kids from her road come round to enjoy the pool, but it saved her £37,000 by doing it herself and costs less than £1.80 a day to keep it warm too. Now, Natalie has revealed all on her pool transformation to Fabulous, as she explained that while her husband and children gave her a hand during the process, she did the majority of the project herself. Natalie acknowledged that in February 2025, she decided to transform her garden and put in a pool, as she told us: 'I was on holiday in Spain and I watched this lady on Youtube build her own pool. That kind of planted the seed in my head. I was like 'she can do it, surely I can.' 'I spent the best part of 18 months researching all different things - insulation, pumps and heaters. All this stuff. 'If we did the block liner and everything else, we were looking at around £5,000, which we didn't have or didn't want to spend. 'So this seemed like a much more affordable option that wasn't one of the pop-up pools with the poles. We wanted something that was more semi-permanent and could just stay there for the next eight to 10 years. 'Where we live, we know people who've got pools and it costs £30,000 to £40,000, depending on size and whatnot. We've spent under £3,000.' The DIY process As a result of her 'wonky garden', she began by hand digging her space to create a flat area for the pool. Mum shares the £64.99 paddling pool that won't leave you puffed out blowing it up & it's perfect for the warm weather She was then offered a digger to help, which made the process much simpler. Following this, the DIY enthusiast decided to go as deep as she possibly could with the digger, which made the process 'a breeze.' The kids and even young neighbours got involved too, as Natalie highlighted: 'They were excited. They just wanted to dig and make a mess. 'There were points where [children from our road] were grabbing things from the garden and putting them in skips and, you know, trying to earn their swim. 'It was chaos and they loved every second of it.' Most popular DIY jobs homeowners love to do Paint walls New carpet Paint fence Paint ceilings Wallpapering Paint skirting boards New light fitting Re-grout/replace bathroom tiles Hang curtains/blinds Paint/oil interior doors Paint a shed Paint stairs New plug sockets New hard flooring New front door Update kitchen sink Replace kitchen worktops Hang shelves Change/update doorknobs Paint/upcycle garden furniture Natalie and the little ones then got to the water table, which she decided to use as her bottom level of the pool. After this, she put in a gravel board so if she needed to dig out to replace the liner she had a back edge to work from. It took days to make sure everything was level and following this, she laid a ground sheet and 10 packs of Halfords floor mats to help absorb any impact and stop the sand from moving. Next, Natalie covered the bottom with foil insulation to stop it from losing heat through the floor. The following job was to put up the walls, which Natalie described as 'horrendous.' 9 First, Natalie had to level out the area for the pool Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 9 Her little ones and other children in the street were happy to help Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 Once this was done, Natalie realised she had missed a step, so had to take the walls out and undo the metal cross braces to insert liner covers. Natalie confirmed that she was then able to add in the pool - the Bestway UK Hydrium 18ft x 12ft pool - which she purchased from Costco for £1,500, including delivery. Getting the pool itself in was 'quite straightforward', as she shared: 'Putting it up probably took me four days. It was the prep work that took a load of time. 'It has to be 100% level. That's the bit that takes the time.' Cutting costs Natalie stressed that to keep costs down, she nabbed bargain buys from Amazon and Facebook Marketplace to build her pool area, as she shared: 'We've got insulation around the side of it to act like a hot tub situation that I got off Facebook Marketplace for £250. 'All the aggregates and stuff that went down underneath, we got from builders' merchants. Then the mats and some insulation underneath we got from Amazon. 'The only other extra thing we've got is the heat pump. Because it's a 20,000-litre pool, it needs to be heated. Otherwise, you're never going to use it - it'd be like getting into an ice bath. 9 She used bargains from Halfords and a builders' merchant Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 9 She nabbed insulation from Amazon and Facebook Marketplace Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 'We've got a 16-kilowatt heat pump on it that I got second-hand on Facebook Marketplace for £400. That was a bit of a bargain.' Keeping costs down was important to Natalie, as she expressed: 'We've done it really smart and obviously done it on a budget. 'Some things are a bit faddish, aren't they? You don't want to spend thousands on something that you might find you don't use or decide isn't worth having. You might want to do something else with the space in five years' time, whatever it is. 'I don't really enjoy spending money. So if I could do it on a budget, why wouldn't I?' A two month process While it didn't cost Natalie anywhere near as much by doing it herself, she confessed that the process wasn't easy. 'It took me two months from start to finish. I work from home so the minute I was done for the day, I was in the garden doing stuff. It was pretty full-on. It's been an absolute delight. The children are home from school, they're straight in the pool Natalie Ward 'I was just doing as much as humanly possible in the time we had available. 'We were really lucky with the weather that actually, when we were doing all this digging, it wasn't raining. If it had been raining, we'd have been in a world of trouble, and it would have taken significantly longer,' she admitted. Not only was Natalie doing the pool project during her evenings, but she also used her weekends too, as she continued: 'If I wasn't working, I was doing the pool. 'It was a huge challenge and I don't think I realised just how big of a job it was until we'd finished. But now it's done, I would 100% do it again.' Making the weather bearable Not only is Natalie, who posts on TikTok under the username @natalie_ward15, impressed with her pool, but her kids, as well as others in the neighbourhood, can't get enough of it. She beamed: 'It's been an absolute delight. The children are home from school, they're straight in the pool. The children in the road see that the kids are in there and ask, 'Can we come in as well?' It's amazing. 'It's lovely and it's making the weather bearable as well. They're obviously getting to cool down after school. Five ways to keep your kids cool in the heat IT can be really difficult - and costly - to keep kids cool when it's hot outside. But Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter and mum-of-two Sarah Bull shares five ways to help, and they won't break the budget either. Strip them off It might sound simple, but stripping kids off at home can really help them regulate their temperature when it's warm outside. Just remember to regularly apply suncream, as more of their skin will be exposed to the sun. Cool down bedrooms before nighttime When it's hot outside, it can be difficult for kids to go to sleep - especially if their bedroom feels like an oven. If you have a room that's not in direct sunshine, keep the windows open to let in a breeze. It's also a good idea to keep the curtains closed, to prevent the room from heating up. Wear a hat Another simple technique, but one that really works. Make sure that if your kids are playing outside, they've got a hat on. It keeps their face and head shielded from the sun, and also helps if you've got a little one who struggles with bright sunlight. If your tot struggles to keep a hat on, try one with a strap that goes under the chin to help. Avoid the car The car can be one of the hottest places during a heatwave, and often takes a long time to cool down. If you have the option, it's better to stay at home rather than taking kids out anywhere in a hot car. Stay hydrated This is always important, but even more so in a heatwave. Make sure you're regularly reminding your kids to have a drink, and top them up with cool liquids whenever you can. Use ice too to ensure it's as cold as it can possibly be. 'All the kids walk out of school grumpy and miserable, with faces like they've had enough. We get home, they're straight in the pool, and their whole attitude changes. 'They're happy, they're having fun, and they've cooled down quite significantly as well. In this weather it's amazing. 'In a world where kids are attached to screens 24/7, you can't have a screen in a pool. You have to engage, you have to be present, you have to play. 'Having the children at home during half terms means they won't be stuck on a screen. I would much rather they were out playing, having fun, exercising. It's about their quality of childhood as well as the benefit of just having a pool.' Less than £2 a day to run Natalie claimed that her pool costs 'next to nothing' to run, as she acknowledged: 'Our house has solar panels - by utilising that, when we run the pool it costs us next to nothing. 9 It cost her less than £3,000 in total Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 9 Not only did she save £37,000 in the process, but it costs her "next to nothing" to run too Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15 'The most we've spent in any one day this month is £1.80, and that was a day when we had the dishwasher, tumble dryer, washing machine, and pool all going at the same time. 'The only other thing is the chemicals and treating the water. You buy multifunctional chlorine tablets with everything you need in them, and a five-kilo box costs about £30. I get through one bucket in three months.' Natalie claimed that while she is only paying £30 a month for chlorine tablets, it used to cost her £30 each time to take her family of four to a local swimming pool. As a result, she is 'definitely' saving money in the long run and advised those eager to do the same to simply 'do it'. Parents aren't allowed to take children out of school during term time, holidays aren't always an option, so why not invest in your home and garden? Natalie Ward So if you'd love a similar swimming pool in your back garden and aren't sure where to start, Natalie shared her advice. 'Join pool groups on different social media channels and learn from people who've already done it. 'Everyone's got things they would potentially do differently or things to take into consideration. Do your research before you start digging and before you buy the pool. 'The cost of the pool is one of the cheapest parts. It's the heating and the groundwork that then costs more,' she stressed. Not only this, but Natalie also advised: 'Our summers are getting hotter, the cost of going abroad is increasing. Parents aren't allowed to take children out of school during term time, holidays aren't always an option. 'So why not invest in your home and garden? Holiday at home, take the week off work, and enjoy it.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club
