BTS Almost Back Together as Jimin and Jungkook Return from Military Service
BTS fans around the world had a big reason to celebrate on June 11 as Jimin and Jungkook officially completed their military service in Yeoncheon, South Korea. This means that six out of seven members are now done with their service, and only Suga remains, set to finish by June 21.
Jimin and Jungkook both appeared in uniform as they were discharged. They kept things low-key but warm, thanking fans and their fellow soldiers. Jimin spoke about how much he appreciated ARMY’s patience, especially during the long break. Jungkook, known for his emotional connection with fans, shared a short but sincere message, saying he was grateful and looking forward to returning.
The excitement wasn’t just at the base. Fans had gathered at a nearby stadium early in the morning, holding signs, wearing BTS merch, and sharing snacks as they waited for updates. Even though HYBE had asked fans not to crowd the base itself, their presence nearby showed just how much this moment meant.
Just a day earlier, on June 10, RM and V had also wrapped up their service.
RM had served in the military band, and V in the special task force unit. Earlier in 2024, Jin and J-Hope had completed their service too. Now, with Suga being the only member left, the group is just days away from being whole again.
To mark the occasion, HYBE lit up its headquarters in Seoul with the message “WE ARE BACK”, sending a clear sign that the comeback countdown has officially begun. On social media, fans were quick to join in—posting emotional edits, memes, and heartfelt messages welcoming the members back. Hashtags like #JikookIsBack and #BTSReunionSoon started trending almost immediately.
BTS is also celebrating their 12th anniversary this week, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. A two-day BTS Festa is already planned for June 13–14, and with almost all members back, excitement is at an all-time high. Many believe this reunion could lead to new music, a group project, or even tour plans in the near future.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
