BTS members RM, V, and J-Hope were spotted letting loose and fully immersed in the vibe at Tyler, the Creator’s Seoul concert. Held at a packed venue, the event saw the three BTS members dancing in the fan pit, smiling and laughing together, and soaking in the energy of the night. The moment quickly turned viral across social media as the trio posted photos and videos with Tyler and CORTIS member James, who was also in attendance.

RM, dressed in a relaxed blue sweatshirt and black shorts, was seen singing along and filming the performance. J-Hope, in a sleek black vest with matching pants, danced and shared a video of Tyler on stage. V, casually styled in a brown T-shirt and jeans, added a heartfelt touch to the evening by donning a T-shirt seemingly gifted by Tyler and giving him a warm shoutout via Instagram. In a playful message, V wrote, “Thanks for the gift 💕🙏 And welcome to Korea! I’m having a Mom’s Touch burger tonight, you’ve got to try it too.”

Tyler, the Creator didn’t miss a beat either. During his performance, he gave a playful shoutout to a local favorite, saying, “Y’all guess what I had for lunch? I had Mama’s Touch. What are you all doing out here? That stuff is absolutely delicious.” V followed up by sharing a photo of the same burger on his Instagram Story with a simple caption: “Mama’s Touch.”

Photos of the night, including the group posing by the stage, were later shared by CORTIS’ official Instagram, captioned, “Watching the GOAT with the GOATs,” tagging @rkive, @uarmyhope, @thv, and @feliciathegoat.

Notably absent from the concert were BTS members Jin, Suga, Jimin, and Jungkook, who are currently tied up with individual schedules. Jin and Jungkook are especially busy with their own events. However, all seven members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook — are now back in production mode, working on a full group album in the U.S. since July. The highly anticipated record, expected to drop in Spring 2026, will mark BTS’ first full group comeback since their 2022 album Proof.

With music, laughter, and international camaraderie, the Seoul concert wasn’t just another show—it became a fan-fueled cultural moment, signaling that the BTS members continue to make their mark, both on and off the stage.

Stray Kids Break Billboard 200 Record With Seventh No. 1 Album “Karma”

Tanisha Cardozo

Stray Kids have reached a new pinnacle in their career with the release of Karma, their seventh consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. This record-breaking feat gives them the distinction of having the most No. 1 albums by any group on the Billboard 200 since the year 2000, surpassing major acts like BTS, Linkin Park, and Dave Matthews Band.

Karma debuted with 313,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. for the week ending August 28, according to Luminate, making it the third-largest week of 2025 in terms of overall album units and the second-largest week in pure sales. The 11-track album features the lead single “Ceremony” and was entirely produced by the group’s in-house trio 3RACHA—Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han—reinforcing the group’s unique identity as both performers and producers.

Stray Kids’ historic streak began in 2022 with Oddinary, and each of their seven albums since then has debuted at No. 1. In 2024, Hop set a Billboard first by making Stray Kids the only act in history to have their first six albums debut at No. 1 on the chart. With Karma, they’ve pushed that legacy even further.

The momentum shows no signs of slowing down. A broader CD rollout is set for September 5, likely to drive even more sales. Meanwhile, the album’s lead single “Golden” is spending its third consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, further solidifying the group’s presence on both the albums and singles charts.

In other chart highlights this week, Laufey scored her first top 10 debut with A Matter of Time, entering at No. 4 with 99,000 equivalent album units, boosted by a wide array of vinyl and signed CD variants. Deftones returned with Private Music, debuting at No. 5 and earning the band their best sales week to date with 87,000 units. Tyler, The Creator’s Cherry Bomb re-entered the chart at No. 6 thanks to a deluxe reissue for its 10th anniversary, and BigXthaPlug achieved his highest placement yet with I Hope You’re Happy at No. 7.

But the week ultimately belongs to Stray Kids, whose chart-topping consistency, self-produced artistry, and fan-fueled momentum have made them not just K-pop giants—but global record-setters.
