Earlier this year, BTS had a limited theater run for their BTS: Yet To Come In Theaters concert film. Now, fans who couldn’t make it will get to experience the new version, BTS: Yet To Come, as it heads to streaming. Here’s what to know about the release date.

BTS: Yet To Come will be out on November 9 in 240 countries with Prime Video access. For fans in Japan, the film will be out just a few weeks later, with a streaming release date starting December 1.

“We are thrilled to partner with Hybe in welcoming BTS: Yet To Come to Prime Video,” David Simonsen, director of Prime Video in Southeast Asia, said in a statement. “We know the popularity of high-quality Korean content worldwide, and we look forward to delighting consumers around the globe with BTS: Yet To Come. We are excited to see the concert movie and this genre find new audiences from different countries on Prime Video.”

The movie is centered around BTS’ free performance from last October. The band took the stage at Asiad Main Stadium in Busan, South Korea, as the city was seeking a World Expo 2030 bid, according to Deadline.

While the band is on hiatus, fans can still expect to hear them perform “Dynamite,” “Butter,” “RUN,” “MIC Drop,” “Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment),” and more, from the comfort of their homes.

Bullying is a huge problem. According to DoSomething.org, 1 in 5 students ages 12-18 in the United States are bullied during the school year, and approximately 160,000 teens have skipped school because of bullying.

So when Randy Smalls of South Carolina discovered that his teenage daughter was making fun of a classmate over her clothes and makeup, he took swift action.

Smalls instantly felt sympathy for Ryan Reese, a seventh-grader at Berkeley Middle School, having been bullied in his youth. So he took money meant for his daughter and went on a shopping spree with Ryan to get some new clothes and a makeover.

Smalls’ wife and Ryan’s mother Richauna Reese are friends, but they weren’t aware of the bullying until recently. The families got on the phone after speaking to Ryan, and Smalls asked if he could take Ryan to buy new clothes and get a makeover at the beauty salon.

Smalls used money initially intended to buy his 13-year-old daughter some new clothes, but after learning about her bullying, he decided to spend the money on Ryan instead.

“I say, ‘When you laugh along, you’re co-signing the bullying,” Smalls told Yahoo News.

“My daughter was upset, especially because she is into fashion,” he said. “So she came with us and helped pick out Ryan’s new clothes.”

While his daughter was at church, Smalls took Ryan to the beauty salon and paid for twice-a-month appointments until the end of the year.

After hearing about the good gesture, local salons have also offered to keep Ryan looking stylish for the next few months.

Richauna, Ryan’s mother, told Yahoo News that her daughter was struggling after the recent deaths of her father, grandfather, and aunt, as well as non-epileptic seizures caused by the stress.

The shopping trip has helped Ryan immensely. “I wasn’t expecting it. I just started to cry. It (the bullying) was really sad for me because I had lost my grandpa, father, and aunt, and it really took me deep down in my depression,” Ryan explained.

“This is the first time I have seen a parent take such a stance on bullying,” Richauna added.

Smalls was overwhelmed by the response and says that it’s helped his daughter see her mistake.

“I didn’t expect for this to get big but I’m glad if other parents [can learn from it],” Smalls said. “My daughter learned her lesson.”

“As parents, we have to take responsibility for what our children do,” Smalls told ABC’s Strahan, Sara, and Keke. “We can teach our children, but when they go and are around other children they can veer off a little bit. When situations like this happen, we have to take action and be the parent and not the friend.”

And the pair seem to be getting along better for the experience. “They’re cool now,” Richauna said.

Hocus Pocus initially underperformed at the box office before becoming a Halloween-season classic among millenials. But maybe it would have been an immediate hit if it starred Leonardo DiCaprio.

The Killers of the Flower Moon actor technically auditioned for the lead male role as Max in Hocus Pocus, but he was off limits to actually starring in the Disney film. “[My casting team] called me up,” director Kenny Ortega told Entertainment Weekly, “and said, ‘We’re sending someone in, but you can’t have him.’ They said, ‘We want you to know who he is, we want you to meet him, he’s agreed to come in to meet you, but he can’t do the role. He’s being offered a movie with [Robert] De Niro and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.’”

This was pre-Titanic Leo, but he was already famous (to fans of endearingly corny ABC sitcoms, at least) for playing Luke on Growing Pains. “He came in, and he was just amazing — so extraordinary and unique — he came and he was stressed,” Ortega recalled. “He said, ‘I feel bad that I’m here because I can’t do this, because I’m really focused on these other things,’ and I said, ‘Understandably.’ We shared a sandwich together. He was super cool.”

Ortega did not reveal what kind of sandwich it was. Leo seems like a bison liver on rye kind of guy. Anyway, the part ended up going to Omri Katz, who later retired from acting and now works as an “ambassador of the cannabis culture.” It’s more legit than being a vaping ambassador.

d4vd might have tipped Uproxx off to “Call Me Revenge,” his collaborative single with 21 Savage for Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

“I want to leak too much, but I literally just left a meeting about gaming,” d4vd told Uproxx’s Wongo Okon in an interview published on September 8. “I’m working a lot on Fortnite stuff, the new Fortnite season is dropping, and everybody’s on the game again. Gaming is going back on the radar. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III is dropping. I’m working hand in hand and being more in the gaming space and telling a story because that’s where I came from. I’m more of a gamer than a musician; it’s telling that story even more. I’m working on scoring and a lot of soundtracking, too.”

21’s “Call Me Revenge” featuring d4vd hit streaming services on Thursday, October 19. Per press release, it marks 21 Savage’s first original material as a solo artist since 2020’s “Secret” with Summer Walker.

“21 Savage will also star in an upcoming Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III trailer, and Call Of Duty players can access 21 Savage as an operator in the game now and carry over the playable skin and their progress from Modern Warfare II to Modern Warfare III when it launches on November 10,” the release states. You can pre-order the game here.

In “Call Me Revenge,” d4vd’s smooth vocal runs perfectly complement 21 Savage’s confident flow about loyalty (“Keep my enemies closer / Than I keep my friends / Gotta get my payback / Been on that since way back”) and resiliency (“You gon’ shed blood if you made me shed tears”).

While it’s been three-and-a-half years since 21 dropped “Secret,” he hasn’t fallen off in the slightest — dropping joint albums Savage Mode II with Metro Boomin and Her Loss with Drake. Each project hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, d4vd has released two 2023 EPs, Petals To Thorns and The Lost Petals, and is opening on the second leg of SZA’s SOS Tour.

Gwyneth Paltrow is currently on a tour of sorts to promote her “accessible” beauty care line (“good. clean. goop”). In doing so, she did suggest that there would be a day when she would evaporate from public view after selling the goop business. First, however, she decided to weigh in on the Nepo Baby controversy, and surprisingly, Gwyneth (who is the daughter of director Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner) sees no problem with children of famous people following in their parents’ footsteps.

She, of course, ignores the point that people often make about Nepo Babies, which is that they have an easier leg up into a lucrative career like showbiz, where public perception and visibility mean everything. And Gwyneth seems to think that the profession doesn’t matter when children go into the same field as their parents. Here is precisely what she told Bustle when the subject of her daughter, Apple Martin (who, to be clear, does not appear to want to be in show business), was brought up:

Now there’s this whole nepo baby culture, and judgment that exists around kids of famous people. She’s really just a student, and she’s been very… She just wants to be a kid and be at school and learn. But there’s nothing wrong with doing or wanting to do what your parents do. Nobody rips on a kid who’s like “I want to be a doctor like my dad and granddad.” The truth is if you grow up in a house with a lot of artists and people making art and music, that’s what you know, the same way that if you grow up in a house with law, the discussions around the table are about the nuances of whatever particular law the parents practice. I think it’s kind of an ugly moniker.

Paltrow did stress that Apple is a “very private person” when asked if she would ever model for goop. She’s concerned for her children, but Gwyneth also could have framed the conversation differently, given that she is arguably a Nepo Baby herself. However, this is not a terribly surprising outcome because Gwyneth has shown herself to not really be in touch with civilian struggles. A handful of years back, Gwyneth took the Food Stamp Challenge and bought a bunch of limes along with a few staples meant to last a week. She later admitted to caving in and enjoying some chicken and licorice.

Yet at least Gwyneth realizes that a survivalist reality show isn’t a feasible career leg for her. Baby steps.

BTS recently announced that their concert film titled BTS: Yet To Come is heading to streaming. Given that the band is on an indefinite hiatus as the members complete their mandatory military service, this allows fans to still feel connected with their favorites.

While it previously had a limited run in theaters earlier this year, the movie will now be available for all to stream on Amazon’s Prime Video platform. Starting November 9, it will be available in 240 countries. Japan will be able to watch it starting December 1.

“We are thrilled to partner with Hybe in welcoming BTS: Yet To Come to Prime Video,” David Simonsen, director of Prime Video in Southeast Asia, said in a statement. “We know the popularity of high-quality Korean content worldwide, and we look forward to delighting consumers around the globe with BTS: Yet To Come. We are excited to see the concert movie and this genre find new audiences from different countries on Prime Video.”

BTS played their biggest hits for free last October at the Asiad Main Stadium in South Korea, which held around 50,000 people — plus fans waiting outside who tried to catch a glimpse of the show. At the same time, it was also livestreamed through WeVerse. However, many fans reported lagging and poor quality.

Thankfully, many will get another chance to watch BTS: Yet To Come as many times as they want when it arrives on Prime Video.

As Jim Jordan lost his second round of voting for Speaker of the House thanks to even more Republicans refusing to back him, The Daily Show decided it would step up and help the embattled Ohio congressman with a nifty campaign video.

In the 20-second spot, The Daily Show reminds everyone that Dennis Hastert exists, and when you think about it, Jim Jordan is slightly better than him. On the scale of awfulness, Jordan is at least one or two notches above the convicted House Speaker, and that’s gotta be worth something, right?

Via The Daily Show on Twitter:

Dennis Hastert was an admitted pedophile. He abused multiple young boys and tried to hide his horrific actions with payoffs. Jim Jordan is only accused of enabling sexual abuse. And the victims weren’t children. He is the progress we need.

Jim Jordan: Not as bad as a pedophile.

Could the campaign video help Jordan’s chances? Well, it certainly couldn’t hurt at this point. The Ohio congressman was humiliated yet again on Tuesday, but has vowed to pursuing his bid for House Speaker. However, Jordan went from 20 GOP votes against him to 23, and the situation is getting very nasty.

According to CNN, Jordan’s colleagues and their spouses have been receiving threatening messages for not backing the MAGA-endorsed candidate for House Speaker. That course of action has clearly backfired as Jordan now faces even steeper opposition from his own party.

Rappers often talk about retirement. Whether they actually retire is another article entirely, but T.I. seems serious. The Atlanta legend recently stopped by the We In Miami Podcast and doubled-down on his decision to walk away from the rap game.

“It’s time to evolve beyond [my] career as a rapper,” T.I., 43, said. “I think it’s a lot more people who are carrying the torch and pushing the culture forward. So, I’m on my final album, Kill The King.”

After a round of applause from his in-studio company, T.I. added, “OK, this is breaking news: I’ve decided that it’s gonna be a double-album. So, there’s gonna be Kill The King and Kiss The King. One of the first records that I plan to release is a record with me and NBA YoungBoy.”

T.I. has spoken plenty about retiring with his 12th and final LP, even as recently as last month.

“When you look at my first two albums, I’m Serious and Trap Muzik, you’re looking at a young man from the trap who had just been afforded the opportunity to live his dream in a new industry where there was so much to learn and to be done,” T.I. told Insider for a piece published on September 27. “Now it’s like, ‘Okay, this is what I’ve taken from my tenure.’ […] It is reflective in that sense. I’ve been here 20 years now, seen all the sights, rode all the rides. This is my conclusion.”

T.I. also told Insider that the title Kill The King is meant to serve as a metaphor for “killing to ego,” and in this case, his long-standing alter ego as the “King Of The South.”

PinkPantheress recently announced that her debut album, Heaven Knows, is arriving next month. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, she is giving fans some hints about what to expect from the full-length project.

She points out that while she had an initial hope for her debut, the sound shifted into something different. “I actually wanted this album to sound like classic Brit-pop, and then it turned into something I actually don’t know how to categorize,” PinkPantheress said.

Throughout the piece, PinkPantheress cited inspirations like Lily Allen, Imogen Heap, and Grace Jones.

“I think with my essence there’s a constant underlying sadness, even when the lyrics aren’t sad,” she added at another point in the interview, speaking to how her environment guides her songwriting process. “[It’s] also one of hope and lost hope, and, like, gray… My essence was very inspired by Britain. There’s a certain feeling that I feel like none of us can really put our fingers on when it comes to being here.”

With Heaven Knows, she also moved away from what some might have expected to focus on experimenting as an artist.

“It was hard to let go of drum-and-bass, but,” she noted. “It wasn’t, actually — it was so easy. I just realized I had to mature lyrically and do things like sampling in a different way. We’ve got more guitars in there, more live instruments.”

Heaven Knows is out 11/10 via Warner Records UK. Find more information here.

PinkPantheress is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
