The last episode of Fantasy Boys showcased many issues behind each group's cohesion before their performance. Fans got to see their favorite fantasy boy's real characteristics and vote on their final visual performance as their "Fantasy Makers"! We break down the 5 Fantasy Boys with the most to lose after episode four! In order from the least risky to the most serious. 5. Yoo Jun Won Jun Won struggled with the "Avenger Boys", Deja Vu, as the top group of the show. Not the best visuals or strongest in singing, Jun Won didn't get any of the singing parts that he originally wanted. At the end of the week, Jun Won managed to improve his rapping skills and came away with four in the Fantasy Makers voting! We anticipate that as long as Jun Won continues with his strong work ethic, he will not have any problems staying on the show! 4. Hikari Hikari had a tough week as he premiered with the group Crown . During the week, he struggled with his singing skills but practiced non-stop. He actually turned out to be an excellent singer during their Fantasy Maker performance! We think that Hikari also has a good shot to stay on the show as he continues working hard on certain weaknesses such as his singing. 3. Kim Gyu Rae Gyu Rae had an emotional week which started roughly when he was given singing parts. He is a rapper first, and young, so adjusting to changes took some time as he practiced hard during the week! He killed it in the Fantasy Makers performance and missed first place by just two votes! We think that Gyo Rae has an excellent shot at staying on the show since he is so popular with the fans. As he continues to mature and grow as a performer, he will mentally get stronger and also take criticism better! 2. Kaedan Coming from the United States, Kaedan struggled with many issues including communication with his teammates. Being only 14 years old, Kaedan has a lot of maturing to go. Not fighting for parts in the song hurt him and also not taking the time to learn Korean also hurt his chances of being on the show. We think that Kaedan's attitude is the main reason that he might go home. His unwillingness to participate and learn Korean could hurt his chances of bonding with the rest of the boys and his career in Korea. What do you think? 1. Yaya Yaya showed the most concern this week with his inability to learn the choreography. His Korean pronunciation and speaking also hurt his chances of staying on the show. Yaya's facial expressions during the Fantasy Makers performance were lacking and unimpressive. Fellow countryman, Santa , also struggled to perform up to the "Korean audience's" expectations and dropped in the final visual votes. We expect Yaya will be one of the first boys to go home although being one of the most popular at the beginning of the show. Let us know if you agree with our list and our reasons! Who do you think will be the first to leave the show next episode? Please share your thoughts in the comments! #fantasyboys #YAYA #Kaedan #KIMGYURAE #HIKARI #YOOJUNWON

K-pop, rap, hip-hop? These are the thoughts running through peoples' minds as they come across BTS 's SUGA 's , otherwise known by his alter ego Agust D , new hit single "Haegeum"! Let's dive in and see what made SUGA's first solo premiere a success! Intense, chaotic, grimy, and most of all, very manly. Those are the words to describe SUGA's new single "Haegeum" which was released on Friday, April 21 at 1 PM KST . Haeguem ( 해금) , if you didn't know, is a traditional Korean 2-stringed instrument played upright like a violin. It has a very distinct sound that isn't actually featured in the song! So why did SUGA decide to name the song "Haegeum"? It's because this song is different! The lyrics, and the meaning, are all very different from what is out there today. SUGA seems to want to portray a different persona through his new solo project as Agust D . The meaning of the song is pretty much to be careful of today's influx of information, greed, money, and "me me me" persona. "Haegeum" shows Agust D as both the villain and the hero as it seems like he is having trouble defining who he is or wants to be. The beat couldn't be harder as the audience can't help but bob their heads up and down to the thick bass with elements of trap. This is another type of K-pop folks! SUGA might have just changed the game with this song and we thank he for it! It was refreshing to see this side of SUGA as this song shows a darker, more intellectual personality. It makes the listener really think about what is going on in their very own lives as the rhythmic rapping skills of SUGA flow into their eardrums. Let us know if you also enjoyed this song as well! What's the next song you anticipate Agust D will drop next? Comment below! #아미가만날_디데이 #해금_다운후스밍해 #AgustD_Haeg #D_DayOUTTODAY #SUGA #AgustD #D_DAY

Jeon Jungkook the youngest member of BTS was hoping to have his privacy while he was in California! There were rumors about the BTS maknae that violated his privacy, which caused him to feel uncomfortable and spoiled his joy! But how did these rumors start? And are they true? Let’s find out! Coachella is one of the most anticipated and prestigious music festivals in the world. It features a diverse lineup of artists from different genres and backgrounds, and it attracts thousands of music lovers and celebrities every year. Coachella 2023 started Friday, April 14 with the headliners including BLACKPINK, Bad Bunny, and Frank Ocean! Rumors spread across Twitter and the internet that there would be a surprise event from the Coachella Universal Music group. The biggest music company in the world tweeted on Thursday: And wow! Rumors began spinning and people started speculating that Jungkook might be having a surprise performance at Coachella! Although the rumors were crazy and unbelievable, fans have come up with an interesting theory that this might be possible. However, there were no official announcements from Jungkook's agency. Hybe nor Coachella organizers have given any official statement or confirmation about this schedule. So, none of these rumors were confirmed. But a lot of fans decided to attend anyways after hearing those rumors! And surprise! Jungkook did come! He came out on Coachella's live stream when he was watching kid Laroi 's stage performance, you can see him in the crowd! It's really cute because he was filming for his memories! If you didn't find him quickly from the video, here are photos from an ARMY tweet on Twitter where she found and mentioned him! @bangbdshotpiss tweet. Jungkook was at Coachella having some fun and unfortunately, a lot of people in the audience were taking photos of him without his consent when he wasn't performing on stage! After that incident, Jungkook attended the Coachella festival and was spotted by the fans. He shared a message on Weverse reacting to it. He officially posted a photo on Weverse stating, "It kind of feels good there was this photograph of him relaxing at that moment!" It was a really quick snapshot of him and he did this for us (ARMY) and we know he's probably thinking, "You know ARMY's want to see me!" So he did it! As translated by Twitter user @BTStranslation_ , Jungkook wrote on Weverse : "Man, I intended to visit Coachella quietly but (people) recognized me right away ... ARMYs are incredible ... thank you ... love you ... how did you recognize me, I even trimmed my bangs ...(I took this pic in a hurry to show armys, it would be nice if you would recognize that). (This is how) it feels to be a celebrity, feels nice for no reason) heh..." Jungkook Weverse post Many ARMYs were feeling like there was just something wrong about taking a photo of him when he was just trying to enjoy his private time. We could have just waited for him to share this post. Many fans felt it was like really honest of him to say that he wanted to watch Coachella quietly, but he just got caught right away! “I was going to watch Coachella quietly” He definitely didn’t want anyone to know and wanted to enjoy his private time without pictures and videos of him spreading on the internet and people making up rumors and lies about him to make certain flops relevant. A lot of ARMYs were feeling bad about this, but they couldn't control this unfortunately. They can't make people not take photos, not bother him, but we hope that what happened will change people's minds that that's not okay! So this is what happened when one of the most famous people on Earth attends one of the largest concerts! Let us know in the comments below how you feel! #Jungkook #Coachella #Weverse #JUNGKOOKxCALVIKLEIN #BLACKPINK

K-Soul K-Soul seems to steal the show every week as his eagerness to take each member's part was put on display.

Hong Sung Min Sung Min received the most stickers, with 23, at the beginning of the episode as the most visually striking boy this season! As a result, he had the first choice in outfits to choose from, the vampire outfit. As we said before, we can't wait to see this "Avengers" team perform next episode!

Ready to see the global phenomenon BTS on the big screen? Well, not quite. BTS along with other K-pop groups such as Le Sserafim and Brave Girls will lend their voices to the 3D animated superhero film Bastions, which is set to premiere on May 13, 2023. Let's take listen to the new song and more details! BTS, as a group, will be singing the theme song to the animated movie that revolves around a group of superheroes called the "Bastions" that strives to protect the Earth from villains trying to pollute it. It will be the first time a Korean 3D animated movie has collaborated with K-pop. Brave Girls' upcoming song for the film will be the group's final official release as a group. All four members terminated their contracts with their management company, Brave Entertainment , in February. The production company of "Bastions", Thymos Media, released a sneak peak of the theme song! Let's listen! What do you think? We think that the sound is very appropriate for children and adults altogether! With the combination of South Korea in the background of the scenes, it's almost the perfect Hallyu (Korean wave) of marketing! When asked about "Bastions", Thymos Media said this: "'Bastions' will capture the quintessence of Korean animated films," Thymos Media said. "It will bring to the fore eye-catching 3D visual experience, thrilling stories, sincere messages and music from globally popular K-pop stars." This is great news for the Korean animation industry as it has been struggling for years to become as successful as its musical and film counterparts. Let us know if you'll be enjoying this film or just for BTS! #bastions #BTSNEWSONG #BTSISBACK #BTSISCOMING #bravegirls

BTS Jungkook always supports the other members, he is one of the humblest idols you can ever see! He loves helping people and treats everyone with respect. BTS Jungkook is not only an amazing singer and dancer, but he is also one of the most hard-working, helpful, and charming individuals. He decided to support Jimin in front of everyone by having four Weverse lives on four different days where he supported Jimin and shared his reaction. Pinterest But let's go through the full story! On March 24, “Set Me Free Pt 2” , the pre-release single for Jimin’s album Face, dropped and changed the trajectory of ARMYs’ lives. The “Pt.2” in the title references BTS bandmate SUGA ’s solo song “Set Me Free,” a track off of “D-2,” released under his solo moniker, Agust D, in 2020. In the interview, Jimin stated that he intended the songs to stand alone, but the subject matter of the two complement each other. “My song talks about freedom and moving forward, and SUGA’s song talks about some of the stories that come before,” Jimin After that Jungkook deleted the Instagram he commented and stated that he would rather live on Weverse. And he did just that! For his friend Jimin, he has done four Weverse lives on four different days where he has supported him. Jungkook shared his reaction in life on Weverse where he seemed to be very proud of Jimin! He didn't blink! He looked so thrilled happy and proud while watching it, and it shows how supportive he always is! At first, Jungkook started to sing Jimin's video song, and a lot of ARMY s noticed that he knows every single lyric of the song, and this brings us to the idea of how many times he saw Jimin practice this song for him to know every word when he is just reacting to the MV back then? ● This is the Jungkook reaction video if you've already missed it! : It shows his love and support for Jimin. I laugh so much from the beginning though when he covered his face and said he didn't like bright things. Didn't expect that from him but that just made him so much more adorable 😍 An ARMY comment. One of the important reasons for Jungkook to make a reaction to Jimin MV is the fact that he missed him. This shows how much Jungkook values friendship, and how much he loves his friends. Jungkook proved how much he is such an adorable person who can support his close friends. An ARMY recommended in 2019 to Jungkook make his own YouTube channel to share his reaction videos on it! It's a great idea although four years have already passed it is still an amazing idea that it's still needed! How does this idea sound to you? Do you agree with that? And how was Jungkook reaction to you and what did you notice the most? Finally, we're all proud of our mochi, a huge congratulations to Jimin on his incredible new solo song! #Jimin #SetMeFree #Jungkook #reaction
