- I'm looking forward to 2025's "Military Stone" BTS...Jungkook joins the army in December → RM, Jimin, and V are going too
- BTS will begin preparing for the whole body in 2025. While Jin, J-Hope, and Suga are currently serving in the military, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have entered the military process. It is highly likely that he will join the military as early as this year or early next year On the 22nd, his agency Big Hit Music announced, "RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are preparing to fulfill their military service obligations by starting the process of fulfilling their military service obligations." Starting with the enlistment of the eldest brother Jin in December last year, J-Hope in April and Suga in September are also fulfilling their military service obligations. Since then, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have been doing individual activities. However, as the four of them also began to prepare for the military service, BTS predicted a military white flag. Since then, the complete appearance of BTS is expected to be seen in the second half of 2025. In the midst of this, Jungkook said through Weverse, "We will start a new journey in December. I'm leaving you for a while to serve in the military," he said, announcing the news of his enlistment in the military. "As I deliver this news, I feel heavy on one side of my heart, and on the other hand, my heart warms up as I recall precious memories with ARMY," Jungkook said, expressing his affection for his fans, "Every moment I've spent with you so far has been the brightest time of my life." "It is prudent to tell you to wait recklessly while serving in the military," he said. "A year and a half is a long time." So I can't say anything selfish, but after I come back, I will stand on stage with more growth where I always am," he promised his fans. In the meantime, the members of the BTS have expressed their longing and expectation for full activities. In an interview with Apple Music on the 10th, Jungkook said, "There were times when I missed my solo album while preparing and working on it. Whenever I was in the waiting room, standing on stage alone, or eating with the staff, I felt the empty seats of the members who were with me." In the meantime, he said, "I think BTS' synergy in 2025 will be enormous. I'm really looking forward to it," he said. Suga said on YouTube channel "BANGTANTV"'s "Schuta" on the 30th of last month, "I'm waiting for the whole body." The last performance as a team was in October last year. I can't wait to do it again. I really want to get together and do it together in 2025," he said. Jimin responded, "I'm waiting for you." We can't wait to get together," he said. Unfortunately, BTS left the fans for a while. However, as he returns to the fans' side starting with Jin in June next year, expectations and support poured out for BTS, which will unite again in 2025 and show great synergy.

- “Innate talent”… BTS Jungkook ‘GOLDEN’ syndrome
- "The new king of pop is getting ready to take the throne. (A new pop king prepares to take his throne)"NME (New Musical Express), a renowned British music critic with a tradition of 71 years since its foundation, introduced BTS Jungkook's first solo album "GOLDEN" earlier this month.As NME predicted, Jungkook is creating a "Jungkook Syndrome" in the global pop market with songs from "GOLDEN."First of all, there is a rich harvest on various charts. The title song "Standing Next to You" entered the main song chart "Hot 100" on the latest U.S. Billboard chart (November 18), which was released on the 14th (Korean time). It ranked first in "Global 200" and "Global (excluding the United States)," which ranks streaming and sales in more than 200 countries/regions around the world.On the "Daily Top Song Global" chart of Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform, on the 3rd, seven other songs from the new album, including "Hate You," "Yes or No," and "Please Don't Change (feat. DJ Snake), also succeeded in charting. This means that the global mainstream market is responding to the new album itself. "GOLDEN" ranked second on Billboard's main album chart "Billboard 200" and entered the album chart of the UK's official chart released on the 11th. It is all the more valuable in that Taylor Swift's new song "1989 (Taylor's Version)" is a success that swept major global charts. Music experts point out that Jungkook filled the entire album in English as the first reason why he was able to penetrate the U.S. music market. In fact, Jungkook said in an interview, "As we have prepared for the overseas music market, this album contains all English songs."An interim report released in August by Luminate, a global music market analysis company, confirms the power of "Songs in English." In the first half of this year, English ranks overwhelmingly first with 88.3% when analyzing the top 10,000 songs that have been played the most on the U.S. music platform by language. Spanish and Korean songs are then ranked second and third. As K-pop gained global popularity, Korean songs ranked third, but the proportion is insignificant at 0.9%. This is why Korean solo singers' albums have made unprecedented achievements in the global music market, citing "overcoming language barriers through full English lyrics" as a winning move.The success of "GOLDEN" is also a composition like a "pop music department store." The album is filled with 11 tracks, including UK garage, Afropop, acoustic pop, and electronic dance. In other words, he has broken down the barriers of genre within the album. USA Today commented, "Jungkook successfully melted various genres such as R&B, EDM, disco funk, and pop ballad into 'GOLDEN'." "He knows how to use his voice, the greatest 'instrument,'" said Consequence of Sound, an American music media outlet, praising his talent for fully utilizing the characteristics of each genre. Jungkook recorded four to five songs from "GOLDEN" in a week. This was possible because of the perfect interpretation of the song, voice control for the genre, and flexibility to reflect immediate feedback. The production team said, "Jungkook's natural talents and perfectionist tendencies have raised the completeness of 'GOLDEN'."High-quality and trendy music approached listeners with a variety of tastes without any sense of alienation, and songs from "GOLDEN" were played a total of 39,653,740 times during the day of release based on Spotify, setting a new record for streaming on the chart entry day among Korean solo singers.On top of that, Jungkook's charm as a male solo artist has drawn full responses from fans. Recently, male solo dance singers are not very popular in the pop market. If you look at the songs that ranked No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 from last year to the present, female musicians such as Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Doja Cat stand out. In terms of genre, country, traditionally strong hip-hop, and R&B, led by Morgan Wallen, who topped the list 16 times this year, were popular. Jungkook took the mound in the absence of a dance singer who dominated the stage with overwhelming performances to relieve the public's thirst for "pop stars."Shortly after the release of the new album, Jungkook appeared on NBC's popular talk show "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "TODAY's City Concert Series" one after another, showing stable live and high-quality performances. In the entertainment industry, it was evaluated as "a stage that shows 10 years of experience" and "a legendary stage of a new pop star." In particular, the "Fallon Show" performance was highly popular, ranking first in YouTube's worldwide trend on the 7th.NME said, "There was a 'King of Pop' every 10 years, but there were no big male solo stars yet in the 2020s. Jungkook proved that he would be able to do more than that mission with "GOLDEN". The 2020s finally found the 'King of Pop', and 'GOLDEN' will be more than guaranteeing him a throne," he said, introducing Jungkook as a new 'King of Pop' following Justin Timberlake, who dominated the 2000s, and Justin Bieber, who represented the 2010s.

[Bijillante] Nam Joo-hyuk Shreds Webtoon and Takes the Spotlight
The Disney+ series 'Vigilante' follows the typical strong-strong-weak-weak narrative. It caters to the weak with weakness and to the strong with strength. The show seeks to bring 'justice' to criminals who haven't received appropriate punishment, delivering a refreshing experience through exhilarating action. Following the success of Disney+ K-content like 'Moving' and 'The Worst Villain Ever,' 'Vigilante' based on the webtoon by Kim Kyu-sam, which has accumulated over 370 million views, proves to be another promising work. Directed by Choi Jung-yeol, known for movies like 'Glory Day' and 'Start-Up,' 'Vigilante' marks his first venture into a series. The story revolves around Kim Ji-yong, a diligent police academy student during the day, who seeks retribution against criminals who haven't faced proper punishment at night. In the first episode, released on the 8th, the reasons behind police academy student Kim Ji-yong's (played by Nam Joo-hyuk) quest to judge criminals are depicted. Ji-yong lost his mother to a thug in his childhood. When that thug received a lenient sentence due to mental illness, Ji-yong, now an adult, begins taking matters into his own hands by directly dealing with criminals. Investigative reporter Choi Mi-ryeo (played by Kim So-jin), who follows these special cases, refers to the mysterious figure who enforces her own 'justice' as 'Vigilante.' Ji-yong, by day a regular police academy student, transforms into someone who, at night, seeks justice through punches against criminals living freely despite facing no legal consequences. "Vigilante" incorporates incidents that evoke real-life events, such as episodes involving criminals who have committed sexual assault against minors but received lenient sentences and subsequently targeted their victims again after release. Beyond these episodes, the series addresses societal issues like drugs, random violence, posing questions throughout about what constitutes 'law and justice.' While the presence of a figure passing judgment on criminals is welcomed, Vigilante's engagement in personal revenge clashes with the acts of the criminals, creating tension. The existence of Vigilante, a dark hero shaped by the world, continues to make viewers ponder whether it is indeed righteous. Nam Joo-hyuk's acting transformation is impressive, shedding his previous clean image to fully embody the character of Kim Ji-yong. Whether displaying a playful demeanor with friends or unleashing a wrathful gaze to mete out justice against criminals at night, Nam Joo-hyuk captivates the audience. His agile action sequences and impactful blows, accentuated by his 187cm height, deliver a satisfying viewing experience. Director Choi Jung-yeol explained, "I thought Ji-yong is a character with two different eyes. While at the police academy, he is very upright and intelligent, but when engaging in Vigilante activities at night, he has a peculiar smile and exudes a strange feeling." 'Vigilante' is released twice a week on Wednesdays, with only the first two episodes currently available. Towards the end of the second episode, the head of the special investigation team, Cho Heon (played by Yoo Ji-tae), appears in an attempt to apprehend Vigilante. Yoo Ji-tae, who gained 20kg for the character, overwhelms the atmosphere with his mere presence. Kim So-jin, transformed into a journalist named Choi Mi-ryeo, adds to the tension of the drama by expressing her desire to catch the vigilante. With a cast including Nam Joo-hyuk, Yoo Ji-tae, Kim So-jin, and the yet-to-appear Lee Joon-hyuk, 'Vigilante' features a strong lineup of actors who question what constitutes the execution of true justice. If you're curious about the answers to these questions, the show comes highly recommended. Note that it is rated as not suitable for youth audiences.
