BTS member Jimin to release second solo album next month

<p>South Korean actress Song Da Eun and BTS’ Jimin have become a thing and not everyone is happy about it. Over the past two years, rumours of the two dating each other secretly have been doing the rounds and now it looks like there was indeed some truth in those link-up news pieces.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The alleged secret romance got an official status after Song Da Eun, actress of The Handmaiden, dropped a major social media update. It sparked divided reactions on the internet and led to&nbsp;those in favour and those against locking horns.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She posted a photo of two cases, likely for earbuds – with one flaunting the name “Jimin” and the other with "Da Eun". The post left many confused, and some accused the actress of seeking attention by trying to cash in on the name of the K pop star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In one video, she shared a person walking by the Brooklyn Park Pier, covering the face with a flower emoji, but fans quickly noticed the similarity to a video posted by V last year featuring Jimin.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Song Da Eun and BTS Jimin dating rumours</strong></h2>

<p>It all began when actress Song Da Eun and BTS pop star Jimin were first linked in the summer of 2022. At that time, a now-deleted Pann Nate post shared a 12-piece collection of evidence suggesting they were dating. These photos showed both Jimin and Song Da Eun at the same locations, wearing the same accessories, and recommending the same movies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One picture revealed that both Jimin and Song Da Eun attended a soccer game on her birthday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another highlighted their shared love for peonies and rubber trees among other things.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even though rumours of their affair picked up momentum on the internet, Song Da Eun always denied those. She went on to say that there is no truth in these since she doesn’t know Jimin personally. She assured BTS fans that she wasn’t romantically involved with him.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Why are fans upset with link-up rumours?</strong></h2>

<p>Hence, the recent post has upset BTS fans who were heartbroken with Jimin’s link-up. Most were upset that Da Eun wasn’t serious about the whole thing and was doing this to “seek attention” while others questioned why she doesn’t want to come clean with it if “she truly loves him”.&nbsp;</p>

Fans, eagerly awaiting updates from the members, were thrilled to see their idols taking on this new phase of their careers.</p>

<p>Jungkook, who initiated his basic training in December 2023 at the ROK Army's 5th Infantry Division in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, communicated with fans on Weverse after his graduation ceremony. With a simple yet impactful message, he shared the word "Unity!" as his first official post for the ARMY after his enlistment, reassuring fans of his good spirits.</p>

<p>Meanwhile,&nbsp;a handwritten letter by Jimin was also uploaded to Weverse, in which he gave fans an update on his time in the military, after the graduation ceremony.</p>

<p>The handwritten letter read, "How are you, ARMY? I hope you are all healthy. Tomorrow is the day that I complete my basic training. It’s been about a month since I’ve been here, and although some days seem to go by slower than others, thanks to Jungkook being with me, it isn’t that bad. Although I haven’t been here long, I already miss you guys so much. The members and I keep in touch by calling one another on the public telephone, and Jungkook is doing really well. Jungkook is doing so well, in fact, that everyone keeps saying, Wow, Jungkook hyung is him. He gives me a lot of strength when I am with him, and I rely on him a lot. I will soon be assigned to my unit. I’ll do my best to do well. ARMYs, please be careful not to get sick, eat well, and think good thoughts. Anyway, I’ll write to you again once I am assigned to my unit. I love you." Check it out below!</p>

BTS' Jimin dedicates 'Closer Than This' song to ARMY; assures fans he'll come back soon

<p>All members of BTS, including Jin, J-Hope, Suga, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook, have officially started their mandatory military service in South Korea. Their enlistment has ignited global interest, particularly regarding the demanding military training procedures they will undergo, which includes the gas chamber, the obstacle course and the gruelling marches.</p>

<p>One of the most rigorous challenges in South Korea's military training is the gas chamber challenge, known as the Hwasaengbang.</p>

<p>The Hwasaengbang gained public attention through its appearance on shows like <em>Real Men</em> and <em>Infinite Challenge</em>, which showed soldiers enduring intense exercises in a gas-filled room without masks. Some struggled with the tasks, leading to instances of fainting.</p>

<p>With each BTS member now enlisted, speculation arises regarding whether they will all undergo this rigorous training. Earlier images of Jin at the Hwasaengbang camp depict soldiers practising in an actual gas chamber. A picture shows Jin washing his face, a common post-training routine.</p>

<p>Since Suga has been deemed "unfit for regular combat duty" and has been chosen to serve as a social service agent in the South Korean military, he won't have to go through the gas chamber training, however, other remaining members might soon begin the rigorous training in their country.</p>

<p>Japanese media outlet Nippoin News Network reacted to South Korea's tough military practices, mentioning that BTS members need to complete various training, including entering gas-filled rooms without masks.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, several netizens from South Korea who have undergone the task during their military service recently took to social media to share their experiences online.</p>

<p>A netizen wrote, “It's a CBR (chemical, biological + radiological) and a grenade drill. They put on a gas mask to enter and exit a gas chamber. It's part of the training programme.” Another one said “Yeah, I was medically retired a few years ago. Trust me, if I could go through the gas chamber in basic training and be fine and sure Jin will be more than okay.”</p>

<p>A third post read, "I'm pretty sure he is not gotta want us to see him go through it. As someone who has gone through military training, it really sucks. He will have to go through combat and weapons training and go through the gas chamber. Hopefully, he doesn't have to get pepper sprayed too.”</p>

First photos of Jimin and Jungkook from military camp are out and the Army can't keep calm

<p>The members of BTS, the globally acclaimed K-pop sensation, find themselves at a crossroads as all members of the band have now embarked on their mandatory military service in South Korea. This decision, confirmed by their agency, BigHit Music, owned by HYBE, last October, has significant implications for the future trajectory of the boy band and its individual members.</p>

<h2><strong>Mandatory military service</strong></h2>

<p>The initiation of this mandatory military service became apparent when Jin, the eldest member of BTS, enlisted in December 2022. Now, the remaining members, including lead vocalist Jung Kook, are following suit, adhering to the legal requirement for all able-bodied South Korean men aged 18-28 to serve in the military. The obligation, ranging between 18 and 21 months, is deeply ingrained in South Korean society, and is viewed as a rite of passage for young men.</p>

<h2><strong>ARMY's emotional response</strong></h2>

<p>This hiatus has sparked conversations about the impact on BTS's colossal fanbase, affectionately known as the ARMY. With their engagement on social media being unprecedented, the departure of the members has left a void that many fans are finding hard to fill.

<h2><strong>What the future holds</strong></h2>

<h2><strong>Historical roots of mandatory military service</strong></h2>

<p>The mandatory military service, deeply rooted in South Korea's history, traces back to the post-World War II division of Korea into Soviet-aligned North Korea and America-aligned South Korea.</p>

<p>Article 39 of the South Korean constitution established the duty of national defence, and conscription became mandatory in 1957. The duration of service, initially set at 30 months, has been reduced to the current range.</p>

<p>The necessity of military service is closely tied to the conflict with North Korea, as the two nations technically remain at war. Exemptions or deferments, whether based on being the sole breadwinner or possessing exceptional talents, reflect the complexities of the system. Notably, there have been exemptions for artists and athletes, including footballer Son Heung-min, who was exempted after the national team won gold at the 2018 Asian Games.</p>

<h2><strong>Controversies and exemptions</strong></h2>

<p>Controversies surrounding conscription include societal expectations and the potential stigma faced by those perceived as evading service. The exemption system, installed in 1973, aimed at recognising achievements in various fields. Evading conscription, as demonstrated by pop singer Yoo Seung-jun, has had consequences, including deportation.</p>

<h2><strong>Conscientious objection and legal changes</strong></h2>

<p>The practice of conscientious objection has been a point of contention, with individuals facing a choice between military service against their beliefs or punishment. Human rights groups and international organisations, including the United Nations, criticised South Korea for violating the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. In response, the South Korean Constitutional Court ruled in 2018 that alternative civilian service must be introduced for conscientious objectors, leading to a change in the law in 2019.</p>

<p>As BTS members fulfil their mandatory military service, the impact on the broader K-pop industry, the future of the group, and the global music scene are shrouded in uncertainty.</p>

<p>While the hiatus prompts reflection for BTS, their fans, and the industry, the ARMY's steadfast support, combined with the strategic planning by BTS's management, is poised to play a decisive role in shaping the group's trajectory upon their reunion in 2025.</p>

<p>The world anticipates and closely observes the unfolding of the next chapter in BTS's extraordinary journey.</p>

<p>Reports&nbsp;of Saint Von Colucci, a 22-year-old Canadian-Portuguese actor working in South Korea's entertainment industry, dying after facing complications from plastic surgeries went viral last week. If a fact check by Al Jazeera is to be believed, the news was fake.</p>

<p>The actor actually never existed, according to the latest reports. He was only a figment of someone's imagination. And, Artificial Intelligence was reportedly used to bring the character to life.</p>

<p>This is among the&nbsp;first known cases of AI being used to trick people and media to spread misinformation, heralding the dawn of a new era of AI-generated fake news, according to Al Jazeera. Newly found evidence shows that the story was just an elaborate hoax, the channel said in a report.</p>

<p><strong>How did it all start?</strong></p>

<p>It all started when a PR agency called HYPE Public Relations shared a press release with journalists around the globe and announced the passing away of Von Colucci. The poorly-written press release was full of red flags and unfortunately, dozens of media outlets couldn't pick on them.</p>

<p>Daily Mail Online was the first media house to report the story. It was quickly picked up by other media outlets worldwide. The publication took down its article on Wednesday without posting any&nbsp;retraction notice on its site.</p>

<p>Wionews.com had carried a report based on the Daily Mail story, and has now removed the article.</p>

<p><strong>How did it come to light?</strong></p>

<p>Al Jazeera reported that several web links in the document don't exist. And, Von Colucci's supposed Instagram account was also not operational. The hospital mentioned in the press release couldn't be found either.</p>

<p>Apart from the press release, there is little to no evidence that Von Colucci is a real person. He has no online footprint and nobody from his family has come forward to mourn his death. The pictures that are available online are pixelated and don't look real.</p>
