Jin of BTS has officially completed his mandatory military service in South Korea. The 31-year-old appeared to be in happy spirits as he made his exit from a military base in Yeoncheon on Wednesday, June 12. Dressed in uniform, the K-Pop star was greeted by his bandmates, J-Hope, Jimin, Jungkook, V and RM, who played a saxophone in celebration of his return. The singer later reunited with all six members of BTS in a photo posted by the band on X (formerly known as Twitter). The image showed him sitting in the middle of the group on a couch in front of a wall decorated with tinsel and balloons that read, “Jin is Back.” “I’m home!” the group captioned the photo, which has garnered over one million likes on the platform. Jin also appeared with the band on a Weverse livestream for a 19-minute broadcast as he spoke with fans and thanked them for their continued support while he was away. He also posted a message to his fans on the platform, writing, “Thank you so much to the reporters and the ARMY who came to the company for my discharge from the military. I couldn't say hello properly because I was afraid it would get crowded, but thank you so much. Our ARMY is the best.” Jin’s return home comes a day ahead of the group’s 2024 Festa festival in South Korea, celebrating the band’s 11th anniversary and Jin’s homecoming. Jin became the first BTS member to enlist in the service under the requirement of able-bodied men in South Korea after enrolling in late 2022. The band has taken a break as the remaining members fulfill their mandatory service. In January, BTS released a pre-recorded video on YouTube of Jin celebrating the New Year with fans as he continued his military service. “Ta-da everyone! Hello! Seok-jin came to say hi for the new year,” he said in the clip. “It’s January, everyone. The new year has come. I will become a year older in January. I’d be in my mid-30s by now.” “I miss you all. I miss you a lot,” Jin continued. “Guys, please wait a few more months. Now that it’s the new year, we have a few months left. Make a lot of snowmen and think of me as you make them.” BTS confirmed they have plans to reunite by 2025 after fulfilling their military duties.

Aesha Scott's upcoming wedding will feature some '90s TV nostalgia! The Below Deck Mediterranean star, 31, revealed in a new interview that she plans to include a classic Dawson's Creek throwback on her big day, when she ties the knot with fiancé Scott "Scotty" Dobson in her home country of New Zealand. "I just really want Scott and I to have this Joey-Dawson moment that I have forced on him since we first started dating," Scott told Entertainment Tonight, referring to Katie Holmes and James Van Der Beek's characters in the hit teen series, which also starred Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams. She went on to explain what sparked the idea. "So when we first started dating, we went on a road trip and we drove through Santa Barbara, and I saw this wharf — and you can walk underneath the wharf, like through the wooden pillars — and we don't have that in New Zealand," she recalled to ET. "And when I saw that, I was like, 'Oh, my god! It's like the opening scene of Dawson's Creek with Joey and Dawson.' "

Miranda Derrick is telling her side of the story after the newly released Netflix docuseries Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult insinuated that she was involved in an alleged cult. On Tuesday, June 4, the TikTok star refuted claims made by her family and others who have spoken out against Robert Shinn’s 7M organization, the subject of the series. “Hey guys, I hope you’re having a wonderful day! I just wanted to hop on here really quick and first of all, say thank you so much to everybody who’s been so supportive during this time,” she began in a video shared to her Instagram Stories. In the two posts that followed, Derrick shared screenshots of her lengthy statement. “I want to start by saying that I appreciate the concern that has been expressed for my well-being. Due to pending litigation, in which I am a plaintiff in a defamation lawsuit, it's not appropriate for me to comment on specific allegations. Though I will state that I do not condone abuse in any way,” the influencer wrote.

Julie Bowen's relationships with her Modern Family children transcend off screen — in fact, when Sarah Hyland found herself in an allegedly abusive relationship, Bowen was the first person she called. In an episode of The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast released on June 3, the actress, 54, recalled how she was there for her TV daughter during a tough period in her life in 2014. At the time, Hyland was dating Matt Prokop and eventually secured a restraining order against him in over claims he had verbally and physically abused her during their five-year relationship. The month before the order was granted, Bowen had intervened and helped Hyland end her relationship, which allegedly led to Prokop threatening to kill her dog and burn down her house. "I was a responsible adult that happened to be around at the right time," Bowen recalled of the ordeal. "I mean, I'm sure another responsible adult would have done the exact same thing. I just love her." The actress, who played Claire Dunphy on the hit sitcom, revealed that she and Hyland, as well as her other onscreen children Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould and Rico Rodriguez (who played her young stepbrother) still possess a tight-knit bond today. "I look at them all like my kids, I love them," she continued, adding that they can call or text anytime.

In the caption, Gaga emphasized her call to get fans to vote, writing, "Register to vote or check if you're registered EASILY at www.headcount.org." The 10-second clip showed Gaga lip-syncing to an audio clip that said, "I don't have to find an aesthetic; I am the aesthetic. I mean, I'm sure there's somebody out here right now who is going into Pinterest trying to type up all these adjectives to describe me."

Eva Amurri is unveiling her chic furniture line designed to complement the home of any modern family. The actress and entrepreneur, 39, launched a new capsule collection of luxury furniture with BenchMade Modern on Tuesday, June 4. The line is in collaboration with her lifestyle brand, Happily Eva After, and features 19 pieces ranging from sofas and sectionals to benches and accent chairs. Amurri, who first stumbled upon BenchMade Modern while furnishing her new home in 2023, says one of her favorite things about the line is that it’s stylish and stands up to the messes that her three children make. “When I became a mom, I had a vision that beautiful pieces in our homes can and should stand up to families,” says Amurri. “None of us should apologize for living beautifully chaotic and full lives, and our shared spaces can mirror that ethos.
