Taehyung, popularly known as BTS’s member V, shared a post on his Instagram account that sparked a massive controversy and attracted a lot of criticism from netizens. Recently, the K-pop idol was announced as the brand ambassador of Coca-Cola. Since then, he has been getting a lot of harsh comments from people, as the brand is on the Bds boycott list amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

As soon as the BTS member took to his Instagram handle to share an update about himself and the other members, it went viral. The post garnered a lot of views and appreciative comments, but he also received a lot of criticism as netizens noticed the cap he was wearing, which featured the Coca-Cola logo. Here’s how they have been reacting to it.

How Are Netizens...

The cool, soothing tone of Hamish Linklater has been disarming audiences since he first came onto the scene more than two decades ago. That’s why he was the perfect man to don the top hat and beard of President Abraham Lincoln for Apple TV+’s Manhunt and why he was the right choice to portray a priest attempting to shepherd his followers towards the truth in Mike Flanagan’s Netflix series, Midnight Mass. Once again stepping into the spotlight and allowing his mild-mannered tone to lull us into a false sense of security, the actor is set to join the cast of Gen V for its second season, which arrives next month. Linklater will be taking on the role of Dean Cipher, the new leader at Godolkin University — a place for young superheroes to grow their powers. But, as the trailers have told us, there’s nothing safe about...

The Legend of Vox Machina's upcoming Mighty Nein spinoff sounds like a great addition to the franchise, and the new Prime Video show officially has a premiere date. Given the original series' success — The Legend of Vox Machina has maintained a consistent 100% streak on Rotten Tomatoes for three seasons — it's no surprise that it's spinning out into another project.

And as part of Screen Rant's coverage at San Diego Comic-Con, we've learned that The Mighty Nein has a release date that's much sooner than expected.

BTS has released its first group album in three years, Permission To Dance On Stage — Live, returning for the first time post-enlistment with a live album of the K-pop stars’ sold-out tour of the same name.

The nearly hour-and-20-minute-long album features 22 songs from the supergroup’s 2021 tour, which consisted of 12 shows across Seoul, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The group originally launched the tour as an online concert, due to Covid-19 restrictions, before expanding into an in-person experience as restrictions lifted. The tour, according to a release, amassed 4 million attendees across in-person, live-viewing (real-time broadcasts of the show held at nearby venues; YouTube Theater in L.A. and the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas) and online livestreaming.

Permission To Dance On Stage — Live features BTS mainstays like “DNA,” “Idol,” “Fake Love” and “Boy With Luv (feat. Halsey),” along with fan favorites like “Black Swan,” “Spring Day,” “Airplane pt.

While the superhero genre has gained a lot of popularity in the last decade, the early 2000s superhero movies felt quite different. What they lacked in special effects and CGI imagery, they made up for in gritty, grounded stories that hit too close to home. While features like Fantastic Four, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy, and X-Men franchise are easily recalled as they focused on the origin stories of our favorite heroes, films like V for Vendetta are remembered for their themes and interpretations.

James McTeigue’s adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel, which stars Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman,has found a new home on Netflix, as per ComicBook. So, if you feel fatigued by DC and Marvel’s franchise-based storytelling, it’s a good time to watch this standalone film.

What’s ‘V for Vendetta’ About?

Set in a dystopian future, London is a police state occupied by a fascist government.

Gen V's second season will continue to expand the world of The Boys thanks to several returning characters from the flagship show. Gen V's first season introduced viewers to Godolkin University (God U), a superhero training campus for Vought's up-and-coming best and brightest. With Gen V existing in the same world and same timeline as The Boys, it was naturally full of familiar faces and references, which will continue into Season 2.

The ending of Gen V Season 1 was also designed to set up Season 4 of The Boys, which focused on the Supe-killing virus that had been tested in the illicit God U facility of The Woods. This led to some characters from Gen V also crossing over into The Boys' fourth season, and the favor will be returned when Gen V Season 2 arrives on September 17.

With memorable roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” “Dexter,” and Saw V, Julie Benz has earned the tile of scream queen — and now she’s playing one in Horrified.

Deadline reports that Benz will star alongside Busy Philipps (“Freaks and Geeks”), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), and Jim Rash (“Community”) in the meta horror-comedy.

Due to shoot this summer, the film marks the feature debut of writer-director Michael Zara (“Major Crimes”). Adam Biddle (Crank) will serve as cinematographer.

They’re back. Or at least… almost all the way back. For ARMYs who’ve been counting down the days, the BTS military chapter is officially closing, and the world is bracing itself for what comes next. The past couple of years have been a weird mix of solo glow-ups, heartfelt letters, livestreamed goodbyes, and Jin saluting the nation with his signature smile.

SXSW is about to be invaded by the army.

No, not the army you might be thinking. We’re talking about Army – the “Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth” – the acronym for the legion of supporters of the massively popular K-Pop band BTS.

On March 1, not quite five months after J-Hope had completed his mandatory military duty in the South Korean Army, the BTS rapper performed for another kind of Army — his fans.

j-hope of BTS has unveiled a new single, a breezy pop track titled “Sweet Dreams” featuring Miguel. Stream the easygoing new song below.

“Sweet dreams come after hours,” Miguel sings on the chorus, interspersed with j-hope’s promises to “love you like that.” It’s a more melodic performance from j-hope, who often straddles the line of rap and vocals; not unlike bandmate Jung Kook’s Golden era, he tackles “Sweet Dreams” entirely in English. The music video leans into the fantastical escapism of it all, depicting j-hope in the realm of an enormous floating house.
