[K-Enter] Reliving the excitement of the tour, BTS to release their first live album

Starting off with some BTS news on an upcoming album but it's a first-of-its-kind album?

BTS will release their first-ever live concert album, "PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LIVE", on July 18.

This album marks the group's first live album since their formation. It features 22 live tracks from their 2021–2022 "PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE" tour, including fan favourites like "ON," "Fire," "Dope," and "IDOL."

BTS's agency BigHit Music commented, "We hope this album brings back memories of the "BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE" concerts. May every moment shared with BTS continue to shine in your hearts."

The 2021-2022 tour took place across 12 shows in three cities, Seoul, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, reaching 4 million fans through online live streams, live viewings, and in-person events.

During this tour, BTS also became the first Korean act to perform at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

I imagine this live album will get ARMY amped up to see them live once again.

Moving onto a member of SEVENTEEN and e-sports?

I feel this story is for our other beautiful co-host Bella as she is an e-sports fanatic but Dino , the youngest member of SEVENTEEN, has lent his voice to the official theme song for the 2025 Esports World Cup.

According to the Esports World Cup Foundation in Saudi Arabia and his agency, PLEDIS Entertainment, Dino took part in recording the theme song titled "Til My Fingers Bleed", which was released on Monday.

The track also features American hip-hop artist DUCKWRTH and metalcore band The Word Alive.

Dino will debut the live performance of "Til My Fingers Bleed" at the EWC opening ceremony on July 10 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The EWC is the world's largest esports event, drawing 2.6 million attendees and over 500 million online viewers last year.

This is the first time a K-pop artist has performed an official theme song for the competition.

Lastly over to news on a K-movie, that received big praise abroad?

Director Hur Jin-ho's "A Normal Family" has been selected by U.S. entertainment outlet Variety as one of the "10 Best Films of 2025" (So far).

Variety curated the list from standout international films screened in North America during the first half of the year, with "A Normal Family" being the only Korean film to earn a spot.

Adapted from Dutch author Herman Koch's bestselling novel "The Dinner", the film is a tense psychological thriller that follows two well-off couples, whose lives spiral out of control after discovering their children were involved in a murder.

Variety praised the film as "a suspenseful and morally harrowing drama," adding that "it's sure to grip viewers from the opening scene."
