BTS has been on hiatus for a while now as members fulfill their mandatory military service requirements in South Korea. Gradually, members have been getting discharged from their service, and a reunion could be in the cards soon. Actually, a type of reunion has already happened.

As Korea JoongAng Daily notes, J-Hope performed in South Korea on his Hope On The Stage tour today (June 13), and he was joined by both Jin and Jung Kook (here’s a video), the latter of whom completed his military service just a few days ago. Also, Jimin, V, RM (who have all been discharged), and Suga (who is set to be discharged this month) were also seen in the audience (video).

J-Hope recently discussed his time in the military, telling Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, “I think it’s only natural for young people in South Korea to take on this responsibility. […] It’s a different experience. Also, in reality, I’ve learned a different life. And in many ways, I got to meet people from all walks of life and I received a lot of good energy. And I heard a lot of good things. But also, you know, a year and a half is actually not a very short time. That bit made me feel a lot of things. In the end, I think the most important thing was I realized how important the work I’ve been doing for all these years is incredibly meaningful to me.”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco released their new album, I Said I Love You First, a few months ago. There haven’t been any live shows in support of it, and it doesn’t look like there will be any either.

During a recent interview with Australia’s Hit Network, Blanco was asked if he and Selena are planning on doing any concerts in support of the album and he responded:

“That’s like my worst nightmare. Doing live shows, like, anytime I had to do SNL or, like, AMAs, I’m always just like, ‘When’s it over? When’s it over?’ I just want to be home on my couch.”

Meanwhile, Blanco recently spoke about what it was like creating the album with Gomez, saying, “She’d wake up, I’d have a pen out, and I’d write what was on her mind. Then we’d go into the other room and create it, and it became a song. It was such a cathartic and therapeutic experience. All the songwriting, it’s all our friends. There’s no, like, ‘Man, we’re gonna get in with this person for the first time — I wonder how this is gonna go.’ We also kept this one really close to the chest, because I feel like it was so important for it to be written exactly how we wanted it and to feel exactly how we wanted it to feel.”

You want fireworks? Macy’s and NBC have fireworks: The 49th annual Macy’s 4th Of July Fireworks special is set for, well, July 4, on NBC.

There’s a musical component to the show as well, and the list of performers includes Jonas Brothers, Ava Max, Eric Church, Lenny Kravitz, Keke Palmer, and Trisha Yearwood. Additionally, Questlove and James Poyser of The Roots produced a 25-minute musical score to accompany the fireworks display, and Ariana DeBose, who is also hosting the show, will sing live during it to highlight “themes of community, resiliency, and shared connection,” per NBC.

The special is set to air from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, followed by an encore presentation immediately after on NBC. There will be “over 80,000 firework shells, containing 30 different colors and mind-blowing special effects.”

Jen Neal, Executive Vice President of Live Events and Specials of NBCU Entertainment, said in a statement, “Year after year, this telecast continues to inspire and awe, lighting up the New York skyline — this time with a stunning fireworks display near the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. It’s the kind of unforgettable national live event that brings us together as a country while showcasing the power and uniqueness of both our NBC and Peacock brands.”

This week’s Indiecast opens with a tribute to two fallen icons, Brian Wilson and Sly Stone, who both passed away at the age of 82 within a few days of one another. The guys discuss their respective legacies and the influence they have on modern music. They also discuss a recent article on dad rock and how the term now is used to describe any form of rock music. Then they check in on the Fantasy Albums Draft, which Ian is suddenly dominating. In the mailbag, they answer several emails — topics include the utility of Metacritic, a yay-or-nay verdict on Title Fight, and “tennis-core” bands.

In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the SoCal emo band First Day Back and Steven recommends the Chicago indie group Beauty Saloon.
