 PETALING JAYA, Nov 20 — K-pop group BTS is making waves once again with the release of their fifth album BE.

The band shot to the number one spot on the US iTunes Top Albums chart less than an hour after the album dropped at 2pm KST (1pm MYT) today, according to the Twitter account @chartdata.

 

As of 2.40pm, BE’s entire tracklist is dominating the top seven spots in the US iTunes Top Songs chart as well.

 

BTS fans, known collectively as the ARMY, are definitely a force to be reckoned with when it comes to hyping up the group’s releases.

More than three million people tuned into the YouTube premiere today for BTS’ latest music video Life Goes On, which carries a message of hope and encouragement amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

BTS and ARMYs were left dejected after the group axed their 2020 world tour in April due to health and safety concerns related to Covid-19.

The group was originally slated to perform for four nights at the Seoul Olympic Stadium that same month.

In one scene of the Life Goes On music video, member V drives past the Seoul Olympic Stadium, seemingly longing for what could have been if the pandemic hadn’t put the tour on hold.

The music video was directed by none other than BTS’ youngest member Jeon Jung-kook, who previously expressed an interest in filmmaking.

Despite the setbacks of 2020, BTS continues to achieve new heights this year and the K-pop megastars recently received their second platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America for their album Map of the Soul: 7.

BTS became the first Korean artiste to go platinum in the US in February with the album Love Yourself: Answer and are the only Korean musicians to have two albums certified platinum in the country.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says.  ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
