BTS's J-Hope brought the house down in Paris with an unforgettable performance at the Le Gala des Pieces Jaunes charity event on January 23, leaving fans in awe. The event, held at the La Defense Arena, was a major highlight of the evening, with the French First Lady, Brigitte Macron, personally requesting J-Hope to open the event this year!

As soon as J-Hope stepped onto the stage, the arena erupted in excitement, with a sea of purple from BTS’s official lightstick, the ARMY Bomb, lighting up the venue. Fans chanted his name even before the show began, and J-Hope greeted the crowd with a cheerful "What's up Paris," instantly kicking off the spectacular performance.

J-Hope performed three powerful tracks: the solo version of "on the street" from his special album HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1, his title track "MORE" from his first solo album Jack In The Box, and BTS's smash hit "MIC Drop."

Each performance was a spectacle in itself, with "MORE" and "MIC Drop" featuring grand orchestral arrangements that added a new level of intensity and class to the already dynamic songs.

Alongside his dancers, J-Hope delivered flawless vocals and an electrifying dance routine, keeping the 35,000 fans on their feet and chanting along in Korean.

The climax of the night was undoubtedly "MIC Drop." As the intro blared, the energy in the arena reached a fever pitch. Fans completed the performance with their synchronized chants, and J-Hope ended the song with a dramatic conductor-like pose, perfectly in sync with the orchestra, leaving everyone in awe.

J-Hope shared his heartfelt feelings through his agency, BigHit Music, saying, "It’s been such a long time since I greeted fans on a European stage. I was so happy to meet you all in such a meaningful place. I realized once again how wonderful it is to give people hope and comfort through songs and dances. I want to thank the ARMY for their constant support, and if I get the chance, I’ll come back anytime to show you great performances."

The Le Gala des Pieces Jaunes is organized by Operation Pieces Jaunes, a charity foundation led by Brigitte Macron that raises funds to help hospitalized children and teenagers.

The event's performances will be broadcast on French public channel France 2 on January 28, giving fans worldwide a chance to relive the unforgettable night!

J-Hope’s stunning performance and his meaningful connection with fans are sure to make this event a cherished memory for years to come.

Song Hye Kyo has wowed fans once again with her flawless beauty and exceptional acting!

On April 1, MBC’s Son Suk Hee’s Questions featured two of Korea’s top screenwriters, Kim Eun Sook and Kim Eun Hee, as they discussed their famous dramas.

Kim Eun Sook mentioned hits like Lovers in Paris, Goblin, and The Glory, while Kim Eun Hee brought up Sign, Signal, and Kingdom.

However, the spotlight quickly turned to The Glory, as Kim Eun Sook shared how a particular scene left her in awe. She said, “I wasn’t sure if the actor could pull it off, but when I saw Song Hye Kyo’s acting, I got chills. I realized she could bring that level of intensity, and I gave her high praise.”

She couldn’t stop complimenting Song Hye Kyo’s portrayal of Moon Dong Eun, calling it absolutely brilliant.

Song Hye Kyo herself shared her thoughts on that unforgettable scene, recalling, “That scene was filmed in the middle of the shoot. By that time, I was completely immersed in Dong Eun. I acted purely based on what I felt on set, and I just followed the emotions from the script and the atmosphere.”

She added, “A few days later, writer Kim Eun Sook called me, and I was worried she didn’t like something. But instead, she told me she loved that scene and thanked me. That made me so happy,” she said with a smile.

Lim Ji Yeon, who played Park Yeon Jin, Moon Dong Eun’s rival in The Glory, also praised the scene, saying, “I thought that was the highlight of the drama. The writer has a way of making everything feel real, even in the most serious moments.”

But it wasn’t just the acting that had fans talking. Song Hye Kyo’s appearance in the video had viewers in awe. She had cut her hair even shorter than her character in The Glory, and fans couldn’t help but notice how youthful and glowing she looked. Many pointed out how much younger she appeared, even compared to her Encounter days seven years ago!

Fans flooded social media, expressing how both her beauty and her acting were on another level. With praise pouring in for her stunning transformation, Song Hye Kyo is proving she only gets better with time!
