The nine episodes of 'Law of the Jungle' with Jin are set to be re-aired on Japanese television this May! The show originally aired back in 2017 and had high viewer ratings. These days, Jin's name frequently appears in the headlines of Japanese media, and due to the artist's popularity among the Japanese public, the show will be aired again.
During the filming of 'Law of the Jungle' in Indonesia back in 2016, the fans of Jin were so eager to catch a glimpse of the artist that they even rented boats to get a better view. The 9-episodes adventure variety show got high viewership and was very entertaining to watch, even for those who were not familiar with Jin.
Indonesian Army are amazing! They love Seokjin so so much! He always, always trends there and look at the warm welcome he received when he was about to film LOTJ back in 2016.
The official Yahoo article announcing the re-airing of the show has an adorable title:
"The reason why BTS's Jin is so loved!"
Here's the translation of an article:
"Jin's visuals always strike the attention. However, his friendly and easy-going personality is the key. That's why in 2017, “Law Of The Jungle” episodes went viral because of “the most innocent, bright, and positive idol, Jin.” At the time of filming, BTS was also on the US Billboard main chart and started breaking out worldwide. Despite that, Jin gave up his vacation from busy group activities and participated in the show. After arriving in Manado, Jin's lovable character was fully open to the public! Even in highly harsh conditions, Jin, with his bright personality, was a mood-maker for the team.
He tried using a light stick to catch fish, cheered the crew with his dad jokes, and painted squid ink on his face. Thanks to him, the mood during filming was always cheerful and lively. On the other hand, Jin skillfully cut fish and squid, cooked for the members, carved wood to make a paddle, and treated the crew with kindness. Even though the environment surrounding him was dramatically different from usual, his beloved personality remained the same."

CinemaCon is going on as we speak, which means lots of new trailers coming down the pike, including some big ones like the new Flash movie.
This is set to be the last hurrah for the DC Universe as begun by Zack Snyder in 2013’s Man of Steel. The Flash will star human wrecking ball Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, who uses his super-speed to travel the multiverse and change his traumatic past. Watch the trailer below:
The Flash is about the Flash, but the movie is also set to be a cameo-fest. Notably, we have both Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton returning as Batman, to the point where the trailer kind of plays like a Batman movie. See The Batman The Flash in theaters on June 16.
People were crying at the first screening of The Flash
Warner Bros. Discovery screened an in-progress version of The Flash at the convention, and it seems to be going over well, at least with executives at theater chains. “I absolutely loved it,” Vue Cinemas exec Tim Richards, per Deadline. “It’s got heart, it’s got soul. You care about the characters. It’s going to be big. It’s great to see the whole Warner Bros. slate including comedies, horror and DC. Everything that our audiences are desperate for.” Another executive called it “one of the best DC films ever made.”
Kentucky-based exhibitor Rick Roman gave an assessment of the audience reaction: “The audience loved it. I thought it was very good — lots of humor. Emotional at the end with some people crying. I like how they brought in Batman to support the Flash. Smart move. The movie will have legs since people will see it more than once.”
The audience was mostly comprised of critics, who also had very nice things to say:
Just saw the first ever public screening of The Flash at CinemaCon. It is a dazzling trip thru time as the DC universe indeed flashes before our eyes. Not just a great new addition to DC but a wild and surprising tribute to what came before. A triumph for Ezra and Keatons return.
The Flash is hands down one of the best superhero films of all time. No joke, The Flash is the ultimate movie going experience as it has a little bit of everything! Action, emotion, heart, humor and plenty of nostalgia. Ezra Miller is phenomenal as dual Barry Allens. Michael… pic.twitter.com/F7SHA30vZM
BELIEVE THE HYPE! Christopher Nolan movies aside, #TheFlashMovie is the GREATEST DC movie of the last 30 years that belongs in the same conversation as SUPERMAN 78 and BATMAN 89. The movie breaks incredible new ground in superhero cinema & honors DC lore of years past. #TheFlashpic.twitter.com/zGkhpfjlsl
I didn't know what to make of the hype before The Flash, but WOW. The movie is an absolute blast from end to end. It's hilarious, thrilling, emotional, and surprising. What an incredible way to launch the next chapter of DC movies. Get excited! pic.twitter.com/4kvf1hWeih
One more thing about #TheFlash, Ezra Miller is the heart and soul of the film. Ezra’s performance carries the entire weight of the story. It is a dual performance and really showcases Ezra’s incredible talent as a performer. They bring such rich emotion and depth to the role of… pic.twitter.com/yIB2tVE5xB
#TheFlash is fantastic. I know Ezra Miller has made a lot of mistakes but they are soooooo good in this movie. Loved Keaton, the action, humor and emotion. Andy Muschietti has crafted something special. Thumbs way up.
At least one didn’t let Miller off the hook for their behavior, albeit in a tongue-in-cheek way:
Believe the hype: #TheFlash is better than being choke-slammed to the ground outside a bar in Iceland. By the end of the movie, you'll feel like you got away with multiple crimes in Hawaiʻi and are anchoring a massive tentpole superhero film with virtually no consequences.
There were other trailers shown off at CinemaCon, including new ones for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Dune: Part 2, and Wonka, but thus far none of those have made their way online. Stay tuned.

Time to take your language skills to the next level and leave your friends scratching their heads in wonder with some fancy vocabulary. All you need to know Duolingo - India’s largest language learning app!
advertisement
Here’s a list of the 10 most bizarre English words that will make your friends go "What the what?!" Trust us, they won't see it coming!
Persiflage -It's like taking a sassy, snooty shot at someone, but with a pinch of elegance and sophistication. Perfect for those moments when you want to throw shade, but still want to look good doing it
How to use: The two friends engaged in witty persiflage as they sipped their cocktails at the fancy bar.

How to use: Despite the warnings of his friends, he pursued his quixotic dream of starting a business in a highly competitive industry with little capital and no prior experience.
Solipsistic- It's like being the only one at a party but in your head all the time. You're so sure that your thoughts and existence are the only real things, that you forget to appreciate the people and world around you. It's like living in your own little bubble of reality!
How to use: Her solipsistic worldview made it difficult for her to connect with others and understand their perspectives, as she believed that only her own mind and experiences were real.
Sartorial - All about looking sharp and dressing to impress, just like how Shashi Tharoor rocks his dapper suits
How to use: The celebrity's sartorial choices always made headlines, with fashion critics praising her impeccable taste and bold fashion statements.
Bumfuzzle - It's like that feeling you get when you listen to Shashi Tharoor speak - a delightful sense of confusion and perplexity, where you're not quite sure if you're learning something new or if you're just completely bamboozled by his grandiloquence!
How to use:When the new intern was asked to set up the office printer, he became completely bumfuzzled and had to ask for help.
Codswallop- It's a charmingly British term that means utter nonsense or gibberish.

Hoi polloi- A fancy way of saying "the common people" or "the masses", which makes it sound like we're all part of some fancy club, even though we're just a bunch of regular people
How to use: The luxury brand was not interested in appealing to the hoi polloi, instead, they marketed their products exclusively to the wealthy elite.
Obfuscate- It’s like putting a bunch of big words together in a sentence that sounds impressive but actually means nothing, and Mr. Shashi Tharoor is the master of this art!
How to use: The politician tried to obfuscate the issue by using convoluted language and avoiding direct answers to the reporter's questions.
Inscrutable- When something is so mysterious that even Sherlock Holmes would be scratching his head, like trying to figure out why Shashi loves using such mammoth words all the time
advertisement
How to use: The detective found the suspect's motives inscrutable, as he gave no clear indication of guilt or innocence during the interrogation.
Did you know that India has the second-largest number of English speakers in the world, right after the US? But wait for it, only a tiny 10% of the population actually speaks it fluently. Crazy, right? With such a pressing need for English learning resources, it's no surprise that English tops the list of languages. So why not become the talk of the town and impress your friends with your newfound vocabulary?

The second trailer of Vin Diesel’s Fast X dropped recently ahead of the film’s release in May. The movie is the first part of the two-part conclusion of the Fast and Furious franchise. This time, Jason Momoa is the main villain who threatens Diesel’s Dominic Toretto’s way of life.
Much like the first trailer, this one too showcases some over-the-top action set pieces. Momoa’s Dante is planning to blow up the Vatican City and wants revenge against Dominic for his father’s death. He is the son of Fast Five’s Hernan Reyes.
Watch the new trailer of Fast X here:
Directed by Louis Leterrier, the film also stars franchise veterans Michelle Rodriguez, John Cena, Jason Statham, Helen Mirren, among others. Charlize Theorn, Brie Larson have joined the cast.
Fast X saw a few delays as Justin Lin, who had directed the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and ninth films, left the tenth film midway. The Hollywood Reporter reported that the director had some disagreements with Vin Diesel which led to him leaving the project. “Justin finally had enough and said, ‘This movie is not worth my mental health,’” the report quoted a source. But Universal said that the disagreements had nothing to do with Diesel. A part of Universal’s statement read, “Any creative differences leading to Justin Lin’s exit were with the studio, not with fellow producers, cast or crew.”

On April 14, 2023, popular Twitch personality Felix "xQc" reacted to YouTuber SunnyV2's recently uploaded video, "Why Chris Will Soon Be A Nightmare For MrBeast." The nine-minute feature became the content creator's most divisive video, attracting over 73k dislikes at the time of writing this article.
After hearing the YouTuber's take on the controversy, the French-Canadian icon stated that he didn't want to be a "Cancel Andy," and expressed some strong opinions about it:
"Yo! I'm going to keep it a stack. This video is... I don't want to be a Cancel Andy, okay? But this f**king take from Sunny is absolutely unhinged. That s**t is b*lls to the f**king; b*lls deep piped up. I don't know what the f**k I just listened to, man."
xQc voices his displeasure with SunnyV2's take on the Chris Tyson and MrBeast situation
xQc shared the aforementioned sentiments after watching a segment of SunnyV2's video in which the latter mentioned MrBeast's PO Box opening livestream, which featured Chris Tyson. The YouTuber commented on the broadcast, saying that it "acted as fodder" for drama and criticism:
"For the most part, the livestream was devoid of awkward moments. However, it would act as fodder for another 100 million views, worth of drama and criticism. Chris likely believes that people will slowly adapt to his new appearance over time. But is this really going to happen? Well... maybe? It's difficult to say, as the situation is fairly unique, especially when considering Chris' reputation and influence."
SunnyV2 continued further and mentioned:
"However, if Chris continues to transition, would it be unreasonable to say that he could jeopardize some of the personality traits, which made him a successful member in the first place? Perhaps the opposite will happen and he'll instead pick up new personality traits, that better resonate with the current MrBeast audience."
The Australian content creator then showcased a few responses from Twitter and added:
"This was put forward in many comments, supportive of Chris, who implied that there will be millions of queer kids who would look up to him. Although, this doesn't necessarily mean that it'll add any value to the videos."
Timestamp: 00:34:40
It was at this point that xQc paused the video and called SunnyV2's take on the current situation "unhinged." Fans then asked the Quebec native to provide an explanation for his sentiments. He stated that many things happen in a content creator's personal life that could cause a change in their behavior and personality:
"There is a million things that happen in private lives that change the nature of content, behavior, and personality. So, therefore, the content that they make, right? And that's just being a human. That's what that is. It's called the human experience. And sometimes, it shapes and goes through ways."
xQc expressed displeasure with SunnyV2's suggestion that Chris Tyson could possibly affect MrBeast's viewership:
"But saying, 'Oh, guys. Him being himself, doing anything that he needs to do, well that will affect the views and people watching the videos. It will ruin the videos. His personality is going to be different. LUL (Twitch emote).' It's just like, 'What the f**k, bro?!' What the f**k is this s**t?!"
At this point, xQc noticed some Twitch chatters claiming that MrBeast was supposedly affected by the ongoing controversy. The 28-year-old streamer responded by saying:
"Bro, you're saying, 'It did,' when there's 100 other things that affected the video quality and the video thing, and the personality. Right? Nobody points at any of the other things that happen. Except for that one! Because why? Because people want to be a bunch of b**ches. Like, what? Human experience! What is wrong with you?! Like, holy s**t!"
Fans react to xQc's take
Felix's take on SunnyV2's controversial video was the top post on the popular r/LivestreamFail subreddit. Here's what the Reddit community had to say:

Interestingly, MrBeast responded to the controversy on April 13. He took to Twitter to convey how absurd the situation had become. He went on to say that Chris Tyson was not "his nightmare," but rather a friend.

Earlier on April 11, Riccardo Tisci, former chief creative officer of 'Burberry', shared photos from a visit to what appears to be the well-known, luxurious mansion owned by fashion designer and entrepreneur Eva Chow.
One of the photos immediately garnered attention, as it featured none other than BLACKPINK's Rosé and actor Kang Dong Won.
Eventually, the photo led to numerous speculations and rumors online. Some claimed to see drug paraphernalia on the table with the other party members in the picture, while others speculated that Rosé and Kang Dong Won were dating.
Riccardo Tisci has since deleted the image from his Instagram.

It’s already been a pretty good year for horror movies, but nothing that’s come out so far is quite as good (or disturbing) as Talk to Me. The first trailer for the film was released on Tuesday ahead of its July 28 release date and showed off just a bit of the gruesomeness that this possession movie has up its sleeve.
The movie follows a group of teens who have a mysterious statue of a hand (supposedly a real one that’s been mummified) that can connect them with the spirits of the dead. Just like any good teen would, the group immediately start using it like a party drug, letting spirits possess them for a short of amount of time to snatch a hard-to-find high. Of course, one of them lets a spirit stay for a little too long and everything goes south quickly.
It’s an excellent premise that gives the movie room for plenty of room for scares and fun, and a few incredibly gory twists. All of that helps to already make it one of Polygon’s favorite movies of the year so far.
Talk to Me premiered at Sundance 2023 to rave reviews and was quickly purchased for release by A24. The movie is directed by first-time feature filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, and stars Sophie Wilde (You Don’t Know Me), Alexandra Jensen (Joe vs. Carole), and Miranda Otto (The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King).
BLACKPINK member and K-pop soloist Jisoo has opened up about the quartet’s reactions to rumours of feuds within the group.
Following her recent solo debut with her single album ‘Me’, Jisoo joined rapper Lee Young-ji on the latter’s YouTube talk show No Prepare. During the episode, the K-pop idol discussed BLACKPINK and how the members respond to rumours feud within the group, considering the members’ individual successes.
“Some people might think that as BLACKPINK are so famous, there will be trouble between the members and someone might think that certain members have trouble with the others,” Lee commented, asking how Jisoo felt about such rumours.
“We laugh when we see such things,” Jisoo said, sharing that such comments have become a running joke within the group.
“We say [things] like, ‘they say I’m your competition, so be careful’ or ‘why didn’t you post on your Instagram, it caused a rumour, you should’ve promoted my album’,” added the singer with a laugh. “We treat it as a joke.”
Elsewhere during the episode, Jisoo also discussed BLACKPINK’s international success and revealed that she “doesn’t get stressed out” over the group possibly losing their popularity someday. “I mean, we have to go down eventually after we’ve had our moment,” she said.
“So if we go down, then there will be someone else who goes up. Then it will be better that it continues like this at the moment, that the Korean music industry is doing well around the world,” Jisoo explained.
“And when [BLACKPINK] talk to each other, we feel proud. I think that’s important for a celebrity as a job, so we just think ‘no one can stop us!’”
BLACKPINK Jisoo recently released her much anticipated solo album ME and the music video oftitle track FLOWER. After becoming the first female Korean artist to sell 1M copies of her album, the singer has now broken the record of gaining the fastest 100M views in 2023 with her single FLOWER. Jisoo achieved this feat at 11:16 am on April 8, about 7 days and 22 hours after the music video was released.
FLOWER debuted at number 38 on the British Official Chart Singles Top 100, making her the highest ranking female K-pop solo artist. Rosé's On The Ground (42nd), followed by Lisa's MONEY (46th), held the previous record. FLOWER was also the number-one song on the iTunes Top Music Chart in 64 nations, including the US.
Jisoo also entered the sixth position on Spotify, the highest position for a female solo K-pop artist, and held that position until reaching the tenth position on the weekly chart. The album ME sold 1,172,351 copies in total from its release on the 31st of last month through the 6th of this month. It falls just behind BLACKPINK's second full-length album BORN PINK, which sold 1.54 million copies.
More about FLOWER
Talking about FLOWER, the song narrates the story of heartbreak and love. Along with the lyrics, the video also shows visuals of Jisoo in various moods. Throughout the song, the BLACKPINK star used 4 colours to explain her state of mind. As the colours are mentioned, Jisoo appears in those dresses.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is also one of the headliners at the US music festival Coachella and will soon be heading to the States for their performance. Next, they have the Hyde Park British Summertime Festival in the UK in their line-up. They will perform at the concert series in London on July 2 alongside Sabrina Carpenter, South Korean indie rockers The Rose, and upcoming English pop singers Caity Baser and Mae Stephens.

Team 23:00 (DGNA) has stepped down from JTBC’s idol survival program “Peak Time.”
Recently, DGNA’s Karam, who is currently competing on “Peak Time” as a member of Team 23:00, was involved in a controversy after his alleged past photos surfaced online. The photos showed a man believed to be Karam hanging out with Japanese AV (adult video) actresses.
The production team initially responded to the controversy by briefly stating that they’re checking into the matter. However, on April 7, the “Peak Time” production team released an official statement announcing that all three members of Team 23:00 (DGNA) — Karam, Jay, and Injun — will be stepping down from the show.
The full statement read, “After careful discussion, it was decided that Team 23:00 will no longer participate in the show starting from the upcoming ranking announcement ceremony. Team 23:00’s official statement regarding this issue will be conveyed through the broadcast.”
“Peak Time” is an idol survival show in which teams compete for the chance to become the next “worldwide idol group.” Unlike other audition programs, its contestants consist entirely of male idols who have already debuted, whether currently active or part of a disbanded group, and they compete “anonymously” under temporary group names that correspond to different hours of the day.
The next episode of “Peak Time” will air on April 12 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
Watch the full episode of “Peak Time” with subtitles below:

Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, 'Look of the Week' is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days.
The "Barbie" movie will debut this summer, and a new trailer for the Greta Gerwig-directed film has revealed further glimpses into the fantastically plastic Barbie Land.
This includes more matchy-matchy bubblegum pink outfits worn by Margot Robbie, in the title role, and Ryan Gosling's Ken as they sit in a convertible on their way to the real world. Robbie dons her chicest vacation look (her beret, tailored dress and side braid are "Emily in Paris" meets Barbiecore) while Gosling goes full wife-guy in a "B" logo jacket.
"Did you bring your rollerblades?" Barbie asks.
"I literally go nowhere without them," Ken replies, holding up a pair of highlighter-yellow skates seen in leaked photos last year.
The movie (distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, which is owned by CNN's parent company) hits theaters in July, and the new trailer hints at Gerwig's dedication to Barbie world-building and style — right from the opening shot of Barbie's feet slipping out of her shoes but retaining their signature high arch.

"Her taking her foot out of the heel only for it to still be in the Barbie foot shape... THAT IS CINEMA," tweeted Luxx Noir London, a former "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestant.
Barbie Land lore
This week's trailer was accompanied by a series of a posters that sent viewers hunting for clues about which dolls will be brought to life. The franchise's most dedicated fans may recognize newly unveiled characters, including Allan (Michael Cera), who appears to be Ken's discontinued "buddy" from the 1960s, and Midge (Emerald Fennell), who is seemingly modeled on a pregnant doll of the same name that was pulled off Wal-Mart's shelves in 2002 due to customer complaints.
Joining them is Issa Rae as a presidential Barbie, Dua Lipa as a mermaid Barbie and Kate McKinnon, who has the chopped hair, scrawled-on makeup and intense eyes of a doll who's seen one too many things.
The movie's costumes have meanwhile sparked excitement since last June, when on-set photos of Robbie and Gosling — who were spotted wearing cowgirl and cowboy outfits and neon rollerblading ensembles, complete with knee pads and visors — set the internet alight.
Last summer, on-set images of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling rollerblading in Venice, Los Angeles, went viral. Credit:MEGA/GC Images/GC Images/Getty Images
"We look like we're laughing and having fun, but we're dying on the inside — dying," Robbie told Jimmy Fallon after the images went viral. "I was like, 'This is the most humiliating moment of my life.'"
Plot details remain tightly under wraps, but Robbie has said that "Barbie" won't be anything like what viewers expect.
"We like the things that feel a little left of center," she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2020. "Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, 'Oh, Margot is playing Barbie, I know what that is,' but our goal is to be like, 'Whatever you're thinking, we're going to give you something totally different — the thing you didn't know you wanted.'"
