BTS’s Jungkook was spotted enjoying aespa’s concert during his military leave!

On March 15 and 16, aespa (Karina, Winter, Giselle, and Ningning) held their 2025 aespa Live Tour - SYNK: Parallel Line - Encore concert at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. The event was filled with excitement, and fans were thrilled to see many celebrities in the audience, including BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, Yoo Jae Suk, Lee Juck, Gummy, Lee Dong Hwi, Kim Ji Won, and TWICE’s Jihyo.

G-Dragon even caused a fun moment when he jokingly acted like he had a stiff neck while aespa’s Whiplash played, making the crowd laugh.

While many stars were shown on the big screen, one guest remained hidden—Jungkook!

Despite trying to keep a low profile, fans quickly noticed Jungkook in fan-taken photos and videos circulating online. He was seen wearing a black mask and a furry hat, covering most of his face, but his bright and recognizable eyes gave him away. Fans couldn’t hide their excitement at seeing him enjoying the show.

Jungkook enlisted as an active-duty soldier on December 12, 2023, and is set to be discharged as a sergeant on June 11, 2025.

His fellow BTS member Jimin, who enlisted alongside him, will also complete his service on the same day. Meanwhile, RM and V will be discharged on June 10, and Suga, who is serving as a social service worker, will finish his duty on June 21.

With Jungkook’s military service nearing its end, fans are already looking forward to his return!

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
