• BTS' Jin Reveals How He Ended Up Collaborating with Red Velvet's Wendy for 'Happy'

    Red Velvet member Wendy made a surprise appearance at BTS member Jin's fan showcase to show her support for his new solo album Happy.

    On November 17th, Jin held a fan showcase at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul to celebrate the release of his album.

    During the event, Jin performed his song "Heart on the Window" live, where he displayed his unique vocal style. To the surprise of fans, Wendy, who features on the track, joined Jin on stage to sing the duet.

    "Heart on the Window" is a beautiful, romantic song where Wendy’s smooth and lyrical vocals perfectly complement Jin’s voice. The lyrics talk about love and the changing seasons, giving it a warm, heartfelt vibe.

    After their performance, Jin asked Wendy, "After the duet article came out, many ARMYs were really excited. How was it working with me?"

    Wendy shared, “I really enjoyed it. I loved the song when I first heard it, and practicing was so much fun. Recording it was a great experience. Singing it live for ARMY feels like a re-debut, I’m nervous,” she admitted.

    Jin thanked Wendy for taking the time out of her busy schedule to perform live for ARMY, saying, “I’m really thankful.” Wendy replied, “I’m honored to be part of Happy’s album. Thank you,” making the moment even more special.

    Jin also shared how the collaboration came about. “I was having a meal with a friend and said, ‘I want to do a duet with Wendy.’ My friend knew her number, so I asked them to call. When Wendy answered, I said, ‘Hello, Wendy, this is Jin. Do you know me?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ I asked if she would do a duet with me, and she said, ‘That sounds great,’ so it all worked out easily,” Jin explained.

    He added with a laugh, “I want to thank Wendy and that friend. I’ve always wanted to do a duet with her, and if ARMY likes it, I’ll do it again next time. Asking her for a duet was hard, though!”

    Jin’s solo album Happy was released on November 15th, and it’s already making waves among fans.

  • Song Joong Ki Can’t Stop Gushing About His Wife Katie: "She Scolds Me, But I’m Crazy in Love"

    Actor Song Joong Ki showed just how much he adores his wife, Katie Louise Saunders, and their family during a recent appearance.

    On December 26, Song Joong Ki joined Choi Hwa Jung’s YouTube channel to promote his film Bogotá: The Land of Last Chances. But while discussing his projects, he couldn’t help but share stories about his life as a husband and dad.

    Song Joong Ki married Katie, a British actress, in January last year. The couple welcomed their first child, a son, in June 2023 and recently became parents to a daughter in November 2024.

    “My wife and kids are in the countryside near Tuscany, Italy,” he revealed. “We live on the outskirts of Rome, and we even have an olive tree in our yard. We pick olives and make our own olive oil. Since meeting Katie, I’ve fallen in love with Italian food. I can’t eat meals without olive oil now,” he said with a laugh.

    The actor also shared how Katie has been learning Korean and already impresses his family. “She’s amazing with languages. She says things like, ‘Mother, let’s eat’ to my mom. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s so adorable,” he said, beaming with pride.

    Song Joong Ki didn’t hold back on praising Katie’s personality. “She values manners and character even more than I do, which is impressive. She scolded me once when I was 20 minutes late to a meeting, saying, ‘Who do you think you are to keep someone waiting?’ She always reminds me of the basics. It’s humbling, and honestly, I love it. I sound like such a smitten husband, don’t I?” he joked, laughing.

    He also opened up about his children, sharing a heartfelt moment with his son. “My son is now 18 months old. During filming, I didn’t see him for five months. When we reunited, he took a moment to recognize me. But once he hugged me, I couldn’t stop crying,” he admitted emotionally.

    Wrapping up, Song Joong Ki said, “I feel incredibly lucky, and it’s all thanks to my wife. She often tells me, ‘You’ve got it all,’ but I think I’m the lucky one.”

    With his sweet words and glowing smile, Song Joong Ki proved once again why he’s a true family man. Fans can’t get enough of his heartfelt stories!
