It’s been six months since V of BTS released his solo project, Layover, and it turns out he wasn’t quite finished working on music. Despite the fact that V is in the midst of completing his mandatory period serving in the South Korean military, alongside his bandmates, the members of the BTS Army now have a new single, titled “Fri(End)S,” to enjoy from the perpetually jazz-inspired vocalist.
“Fri(End)S” is about the desire to take things to the next level with a romantic interest, and it’s accompanied by a music video that allows V to flex his acting skills to the silliest extremes. The all-English track does feel akin to the sound V developed on Layover, where he spent time with similarly mid-tempo, confessional arrangements.

V has BTS’ fans on his mind as he heads to the military. On Sunday, the musician wrote a letter to the Army, telling them “I will miss you so much,” and shared some behind-the-scenes photos.
“Actually, I’m really sad that I can’t make happy memories with my Army for the time being,” he said on WeVerse. “It’s the hardest not to see the Army. I’II be back after 18 months of being healthy, so take care of your Army and if you’re looking for something...

Unsurprisingly, Olivia Rodrigo ruled the Billboard 200 albums chart with the release of her sophomore collection, “Guts.” It achieved 302,000 equivalent album units based on its combined record sales, individual track sales and online streams. That was slightly better than her debut album, “Sour,” which accumulated 295,000 units in its first week in 2021. Read more about this week’s chart here at Billboard.com.
The success of “Guts” also gave Rodrigo a boost on the Hot 100 singles chart, where all 12 tracks appeared in the top 40. That includes its lead single “Vampire,” which returned to number-one for the first time since it debuted at the top spot back in July. Her second single, “Bad Idea Right?,” also got a big bump, rising from number-26 to number-seven, a new high.

BTS’s V, fresh off the release of his solo project, has shared his visit to South Korea’s Tiny Desk. Backed by a crew of stellar instrumentalists and vocalists, the jazz-loving member of the septet reimagined three cuts off of Layover. Watch the full episode below.
Filmed in Seoul, V enlisted a drummer, backup vocalists, a saxophone player, a keyboardist, and a handful of other players (most of whom flew in from the US) to round out the backing band of his dreams. They kicked things off with the album’s pre-release single, “Love Me Again,” and followed it up with an extra dreamy live arrangement of the focus track, “Slow Dancing,” after V dedicated some time to introducing the members of the band. (“Slow Dancing” wisely then built in ample time for a saxophone solo.)

BTS’ V delivered a trio of tender, swooning songs during his short but sweet performance on NPR’s new Tiny Desk offshoot, Tiny Desk Korea.
The performance was filmed last month in Seoul and found V working alongside an eight-person band of musicians, most of whom had flown from the U.S. to South Korea for the gig. Despite their recent formation — and ostensible jet lag — the musicians provided V with the most dulcet of tones as he breezed through some of the songs off his debut solo EP, Layover.

V slowed things down for the debut live performance of his recent single “Love Me Again,” an R&b and jazz-influenced record that appears on his full-length solo album Layover. Accompanied by four backing vocalists, the BTS member performed the song on a special episode of Naver’s Npop show, where he also delivered live renditions of “Rainy Days” and “Slow Dancing.”
Each performance was set against a unique backdrop, reflecting the song’s tone. For “Love Me Again,” the artist, born Kim Taehyung, stood among framed photographs in an orange-hued art gallery setting.

BTS’ V gets a little impatient in the first official teaser trailer for the forthcoming music video accompanying his solo single “Blue.” In the 23-second clip, the singer walks fervently down a hallway leading up to an apartment door. When he’s reached the unit he was searching for, he rings the bell and waits all of five seconds before he starts banging on the door. Whoever is on the other side, he’s adamant about seeing them.
“Blue” will appear on V’s upcoming debut solo album Layover, set for release on Sept.

BTS’ Rm spoke about work and life during the group’s hiatus while also offering fans the ultimate assurance: BTS will “be back for sure” in 2025.
Rm made the comments near the end of a Weverse livestream over the weekend (the video is archived on YouTube). During the chat, he shared a letter and song made by an Army member that encapsulated how much BTS had meant to them — and what it’s been like waiting for the band to return in 2025 as the seven members complete their mandatory military service in South Korea.

Directed by Shin Dongle, the music video captures a rare ordinary day in the life of the superstar musician. After dallying in bed, V wrangles up some food as his dog looks on and falls asleep with cartoons playing in the background. Overall, it’s pretty relatable stuff! Watch the clip below.

Seoul, Aug 11 (Ians) BTS singer V aka Kim Taehyung is now cutting onions and turning on the waterworks with the music video of his new single ‘Rainy Days’ from his debut solo album ‘Layover’. The track is an emotionally sombre piece that infuses traditional K-pop melodies with a more experimental touch.
The music video highlights the darker and emotional approach of the track as V is shown sitting at his home in a messy bed, looking all gloomy and depressed as he misses his partner.
The BTS singer then proceeds to sing about a glimmer of hope that he may yet get a call from his loved one who has left him as he looks on into the distance.
V the proceeds to carry on with the chores, cooking meals by himself and setting up a table for two, though the second chair is empty leaving V to dine alone...

V of BTS has unveiled “Love Me Again,” the first single from his upcoming solo album, Layover. Watch the song’s accompanying music video below.
As one of the vocalists of the group, V is known for his rich lower register, and he has a particular penchant for jazz-inspired music. “Love Me Again,” a somewhat lo-fi track, allows V to slide into crooner mode once again.
To contrast the gentle nature of the song, V is decked out in a glam look, performing the track against the dramatic backdrop of a cave. “If you ever regret this, won’t you let me know?/ I’ll be honest with you, put it all out there/ I think you about you all the time,” he sings.
The six-track Layover is due out on September 8th.
V’s solo album will follow projects from BTS bandmates Jungkook, j-hope, Rm, Jimin, Suga, and Jin.

The visual released on Wednesday and features the star in a gold sequined top surrounded by stalactites hanging from the roof of a cave. Retro elements are peppered throughout the video, as the camera switches from black and white VHS-style recordings and grainy karaoke subtitles flash across the screen.
“I wish you would love me again/No, I don’t want nobody else,” V sings in the chorus.

Chicago – One of the realizations that came out of the pandemic was that Drive-In movie theaters are still viable. When regular theaters closed, the Drive-In filled the void where they were available. Filmmaker April Wright has had a lifelong love for the Drive-In, and has explored their revival and challenges afterward in “Back to the Drive-In.” The documentary will have a limited two-day run at the historic Music Box Theatre in Chicago, click Drive-in Dreams for showtimes.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Wright drove cross country to 11 Drive-Ins, both old-timey established and brand spanking new. What she found was a commonality between the owners and a love for what they do, or in some cases a reflection of a life in the business. What she also found was the magic of the Drive-In – beyond the infamous teenager reputation – that spoke to the future of this legendary way to see movies … which began over 100 years ago.

The idea that love could (should?) boil down to a science is an appealing, if unnerving, fantasy. “Soulmates,” the latest iteration of this concept, doesn’t work too hard to explain how such a game-changing technology became possible in its near future world. Instead, it imagines what the arrival of a foolproof soulmate “test” would do to the shift people’s perspectives on what “true love” means, challenge those already in relationships and make the world an irrevocably different place. From co-creators Brett Goldstein (“Ted Lasso”) and Will Bridges (writer of “Black Mirror” episode “U.S.S. Callister”), each of the six episodes focuses on an entirely different story and set of relationships. The chapters that work best, by a mile, are the ones that remain as firmly...
