BTS’ Arirang world tour will come to the big screen for one-night-only with a live screening of their homecoming Busan, South Korea gig.

Scheduled for June 13 — BTS’ official anniversary date — at the Busan Asiad Municipal Stadium, BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Busan: Live Viewing will screen live globally via the Trafalgar Releasing event.

Tickets for the event go on sale May 28. More information, including which theaters are participating, will be available at the BTS Live Viewing site.

The gig marks the Rolling Stone cover story stars’ first show at their home stadium since 2022, with the group returning to the venue following their mandatory military service.

“We’re proud to continue our role in BTS’ comeback of the decade with this live viewing from Busan,” Trafalgar CEO Marc Allenby said in a statement. “Marking the anniversary of the group’s debut, this special day gives fans across the globe a chance to celebrate, wherever they may be. Together with our exhibition partners, we’re excited to make this event truly unmissable.”

BTS are in the midst of the North American leg of their Arirang world tour, which concludes next week with a four-night stand at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. After that, BTS will perform two shows in Busan before embarking on a European leg beginning in late June. Another North American leg kicks off Aug. 1 with two nights at East Rutherford, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium and wraps in early September after four shows at Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium.

The Arirang world tour in support of BTS’ latest album is currently set to run through March 14.

Rihanna Shooting Suspect’s Attempted Murder Case Halted for Competency Probe

The woman accused of firing 20 shots from an AR-15-style rifle at Rihanna’s Los Angeles home, prompting the singer to push A$AP Rocky to the ground for cover, had her attempted murder case suspended Tuesday.

Judge Shannon Cooley halted the case against Ivanna Ortiz, 35, after meeting privately with a public defender and finding enough evidence to question Ortiz’s mental competency, a court source confirmed to Rolling Stone. Ortiz will now be referred to the county’s mental health court for an evaluation and a determination on whether she can understand the proceedings against her.

Honoring the Music That Made Us

Honoring the Music That Made Us

During my first presidential campaign, I became a bit particular — maybe even a little superstitious — about my debate-day rituals. I had to get in a quick workout, and always ordered the same dinner. And then, in the half hour or so before the main event, I’d set aside whatever notes and talking points my staff had given me, put on some earbuds, and just listen to some music.

Initially, I listened to a handful of jazz classics — Miles Davis’ “Freddie Freeloader,” John Coltrane’s “My Favorite Things.” But over time, I discovered that rap was the thing that got my head in the right place. A couple of songs about defying the odds and putting it all on the line — Jay-Z’s “My 1st Song” and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” — were always in the rotation, maybe because they felt suited to my early underdog status. Sitting alone in the back of the Secret Service SUV on my way to the venue, nodding to the beat, I would feel the pomp and circumstance and artifice of my immediate surroundings melt away. I’d find my mind returning to those things that were most essential to me — the friends and family that had shaped me; the values and ideals that drove me; and all the forgotten voices of people across the country that I hoped to someday represent.

Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Trilogy Turns ‘Not Like Us’ Inside Out

By now, the events of May 2024 have hardened into rap mythology. As the story goes, someone close to Drake leaked “Family Matters” to Kendrick Lamar ahead of its release, allowing Kendrick to engineer the devastating one-two punch of “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us” with near-cinematic precision. On the latter song, Kendrick is no longer battling Drake so much as narrating his death. “I see dead people,” he taunts on the song’s opening line, transforming Drake from rap rival into corpse before the public had even processed what was happening.

Kendrick’s war with Drake — the rap battle that refuses to end — was preoccupied with annihilation, the total elimination of Drake as a cultural figure. And for a time, it appeared to work. Allegations of pedophilia and grooming became permanently attached to his public image, chanted in arenas and clubs with ecclesiastical fervor. Worse still, Drake’s lawsuit against UMG over the allegedly defamatory claims in “Not Like Us” appeared to violate the unspoken rules of rap warfare itself, lending further legitimacy to the idea that, despite a nearly two-decade run atop rap’s commercial hierarchy, Drake would always remain an outsider to “the culture.”

Young Dolph Shooter Pleads Guilty, Concluding Rapper’s Murder Case

The Tennessee man who previously admitted to shooting Young Dolph pleaded guilty Friday to charges stemming from the rapper’s 2021 death, bringing the murder case to its conclusion.

Cornelius Smith Jr. pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a plea deal with Memphis prosecutors, nearly two years after Smith admitted on the witness stand that he and co-defendant Justin Johnson shot Young Dolph during a daytime ambush at a Memphis bakery; Smith served as the main witness at the trial of Johnson, who was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
