BTS is set to sign all of its members to new contracts with Big Hit Music.

On June 20, Hive announced that "Big Hit Music will continue to work with BTS after 2025," adding, "Based on this board resolution, we will sign contracts with all members of BTS in sequence."

BTS debuted under Hive's predecessor, Big Hit Entertainment, in June 2013 and celebrated their 10th anniversary this year.

In 2018, the group re-signed before completing their seven-year contract, and now all members have signed a second contract, allowing them to continue working together as a team beyond 2025, when all members will have completed their military service.

Since June of last year, the members have been pursuing individual activities after suspending their group activities due to military service. Their subsequent solo releases have also proved their enduring popularity, topping Billboard and global charts.

Big Hit Music will sign contracts with some members, including Jin and J-Hope, individually and in order, considering their military service. The members are reportedly hoping to resume full activity in 2025.

Hive said, "With the signing of the re-contract, we will be able to join BTS in their full activities, which they hope to do in 2025," adding, "Hive and Big Hit Music will do everything possible to help BTS further strengthen their status."

Meanwhile, BIGHIT Music will donate KRW 1 billion to the UNICEF Korea Committee as a thank you to BTS and their fandom ARMY for coming together once again. The donation will be made through the LOVE MYSELF campaign, which was launched with BTS in November 2017.

'Gangnam-daero 3 hamburgers'...'juicy' makes the wait worth it Five Guys

Customers wait in line to place orders at a Five Guys store on Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, on Nov. 28. (Reporter Koo Ye-ji sunrise@) Five Guys, one of America's top three burgers, has landed in Korea, sparking a burger war on Gangnam-daero in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Five Guys is fighting for 'American taste', Shake Shack for localization, and Superduper for fresh meat. At 9:30 a.m. on the 28th, an hour and a half before the store opened, there were already 117 teams lined up out front. With the introduction of tabling (a remote queuing application), there were no long lines like on the first day. After a long wait, we were able to enter the store at 12:10pm. On the 27th, the second day of opening, the line started at 11:44am and I entered the store at 2:54pm. I ordered a burger from Five Guys in Korea and compared it to the Five Guys burger, Shake Shack, and Superduper signature items I tried in New York City in January. The Five Guys burger comes with eight veggies, incl...

ジェニーの女優デビュー作『The Idol』が物議を醸す理由 [IssueCracker].

(出典=HBO公式YouTubeチャンネル) BlackPinkのメンバー、ジェニー主演のHBOシリーズ「The Idol」が北米で放送を開始した。 4日（現地時間）に初放送された「The Idol」は、ポップ・アイドルスターと文化産業の関係を描いたもので、ポップスターのザ・ウィークエンド（エイブル・テスフェイ）、俳優ジョニー・デップの娘リリー＝ローズ・デップ、オーストラリアのシンガーソングライター、トロイ・シヴァン、そしてジェニーが出演し、公開前から話題を呼んでいる。これに先立ち、『アイドル』は3月22日にフランスで開催された第76回カンヌ国際映画祭のノン・コンペティション部門に正式招待され、第2弾がワールドプレミア上映された。海外メディアによると、上映後には5分間のスタンディングオベーションが巻き起こったという。キャストにはジェニーをはじめ多くの著名人が名を連ね、人気シリーズ『響け！ユーフォニアム』のサム・レビンソンが共同製作・監督を務めるとあって、世間の期待は高かった。しかし、その期待はすぐに失望に変わり、特に『アイドル』を先に見たジャーナリストや評論家からは厳しい批評が殺到した。批判ははっきりしている。女性差別的な描写、男性主義的な性的妄想などなど。番組の初放送後、論争は激化した。ある放送局は、「論争が起ころうとも、面白くない」と、明らかな失望を表明した。視聴者の反応、特にBLACKPINKとジェニーのファンの反応も同様だ。しかし、この論争は『アイドル』制作当初からある程度予想できたことだった。フランス南部カンヌで開催中の第76回カンヌ国際映画祭で、『The Idol』の試写会に出席した左からエイブル・テスフェイ、リリー＝ローズ・デップ、サム・レヴィンソン。(AP/News) 2021年6月、テスフェイはレザ・ファヒム、サム・レヴィンソンとともにシリーズをプロデュースし、脚本も共同執筆することを明らかにし、眉をひそめた。しかし、当初エグゼクティブ・プロデューサーを務める予定だったエイミー・セイメッツは、翌2022年4月に企画から離脱。番組の完成度が80％を超えていたため、彼女の降板は疑問視された。彼女の後任はサム・レビンソン。彼はプロデューサー兼監督に就任した。 Deadline』は当時、「『The Idol』はすでに4、5エピソードを...
