BTS are responding directly to the internet as anticipation builds around their upcoming album Arirang.

In a new video released by GQ, the K-pop superstars go undercover online, responding to fan questions pulled from platforms including X, Reddit, TikTok, Quora and YouTube. The segment follows the publication’s recurring format in which artists read and react to discussions circulating about them online.

Throughout the episode, the members address a mix of fan theories, inside jokes and long-running debates within the BTS community. They also fact-check details on their Wikipedia pages and respond to comments about the group’s reunion and evolving sound.

At several points in the video, the conversation turns to how the band’s music and perspectives have shifted since their early years, with the members acknowledging that their current material reflects a more mature stage of their careers.

The clip also touches on BTS’ long relationship with their global fanbase, ARMY, with the members reacting to questions about favourite fan moments and the culture that has grown around the group’s music over the past decade.

In one segment, the group discusses what they have missed most about working together while away from the spotlight and what it has been like to reunite in the studio.

The GQ appearance arrives ahead of the March 20 release of BTS’ next album, Arirang, which marks one of the group’s most significant projects since completing their mandatory military service and returning to activities as a full group. The upcoming record will be the group’s first major release since reconvening following the hiatus period that began in 2022.

Alongside the album, BTS are rolling out several additional projects tied to the comeback.

A concert film titled The Comeback Live is scheduled to debut on March 21, offering fans a performance-focused companion to the new era. A documentary, The Return, will follow shortly after, with the film set to begin streaming on Netflix on March 27.

The two concerts that P!nk had scheduled for this spring at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City have been canceled, promoter Ocesa announced Friday (March 6).

A show by singer Carolina Ross and another by rapper Lucho SSJ were also canceled, but Ocesa tells Billboard Español the cancellations are unrelated.

In a statement shared on social media, the promoter said the cancellation of the pop star’s performances originally scheduled for April 26 and 27 is due to “complications arising from an unforeseen circumstance that affects the logistics of the event,” a situation that is “beyond the control of the artist, the promoter, and the venue.”

The shows would have marked the return of the “So What” and “Get the Party Started” singer to Mexican stages after more than two decades. “We understand how much fans were looking forward to these concerts, and we deeply appreciate their understanding,” Ocesa added.

The company informed that those who purchased tickets online through Ticketmaster Mexico would receive a full refund automatically, including service fees, directly to the card used for purchase, in accordance with the timelines established by each banking institution. Those who bought tickets at box offices can request their refund at the original point of sale in the coming days.

Regarding the cancellation of the show by regional Mexican singer Carolina Ross, which was scheduled for May 2 at Mexico City’s Teatro Metropólitan, the promoter explained that it was due to “unforeseen logistical circumstances completely beyond the control of Ocesa, the artist, and the venue.” Tickets purchased online will also be refunded directly to the bank card used for the purchase. If the tickets were purchased at the venue’s box office, refunds can be requested starting March 12.

The third canceled show was that of rapper Lucho SSJ, at Foro Puebla, also in the capital city. As with the cases of P!nk and Ross, the promoter said that this was due to “logistical reasons completely beyond the control of the artist, the venue, and Ocesa.” Refunds would also be processed automatically to the bank card used for purchase, and directly at the venue’s box office starting this Friday. 

Like father, like daughter. North West is looking to follow in her dad, Ye’s (formerly Kanye West), footsteps as a dual-threat artist and producer.

North previewed some unreleased music on her TikTok Live earlier this week, and one track finds her sampling her father’s 808s & Heartbreak track “Coldest Winter.”

The electropop tribute — which interpolates Tears for Fears’ “Memories Fade” — pays homage to Ye’s late mother, Donda West, who died in November 2007 from coronary artery disease and post-operative complications related to cosmetic surgery.

North’s hard-hitting beat features punchier drums than Yeezy’s original, but uses the same melody, aided by Ye’s haunting vocals faintly in the background.

Back in January, North previewed a collaboration with her father on social media. “All my friends are hits, you know I’m not lazy/ You’re so angry that I’m so mainstream,” she raps. “I’m not sure I’m crazy/ I want more piercings and tats/ I love blue hair, put it in some plaits/ Put the music to the max/ I want like a hundred thousand racks.”

Days later, a blue-haired North joined Kanye in Mexico City on the La México stage at his first Mexico show in 20 years. She accompanied her father for his performance of the emotional “Only One.” North remained on stage and also performed her “Piercing on my Hand” track.

North stayed busy in 2025, where she notched a collaboration with FKA Twigs, which saw her rap in Japanese on Eusexua standout “Childlike Things.” The 12-year-old also contributed to the Ye-produced “Lonely Roads,” which landed on King Combs’ Never Stop EP.

According to Rolling Stone, North signed a record deal with Larry Jackson’s Gamma in February and has more new music on the way. It’s a family affair as Ye also signed to the independent music company earlier in 2026.

It’s official: Olivia Dean is standing on Australia’s all-time chart podium.

The newly-minted breakthrough artist winner at the Grammy Awards holds top spot on the ARIA Albums Chart with The Art Of Loving, for its 10^th non-consecutive weeks at No. 1. At the same time, “Man I Need” retains top spot on the ARIA Singles Chart for the 16th consecutive week.

With that feat, “Man I Need” is the third longest-reigning single since the ARIA Charts were first published in 1983.

The English singer and songwriter is nipping at the heels of Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” (from 2025) and The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s Stay (2021-22), which are tied in second place on the all-time list, each with 17 weeks at No. 1. “Man I Need” is still some distance behind the greatest of all time, Tones And I’s “Dance Monkey,” which logged 24 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2019-2020. Whatever happens, Dean’s reign on the ARIA Chart is the longest by a Brit.

“Man I Need” leads three Olivia Dean top 10 hits on the latest chart, published Friday, March 6, ahead of “Rein Me In” with Sam Fender, which holds at No. 2, and “So Easy (To Fall In Love),” down 3-4.

Alysa Liu played a hand in ensuring Dean didn’t dominate the top 3.  The gold medal skater’s now-viral moment at the Winter Olympic Exhibition Gala gives PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson’ 2025 song “Stateside” a bump, up 11-3 for a new peak position. PinkPantheress’ Fancy That, meanwhile, glides 39-6 on the albums chart, for a new peak position.

Texas artist Bella Kay enters the top 10 for the first time with the single “Iloveitiloveitiloveit,” which vaults 20-7; Alex Warren scores his fifth top 50 single as “Fever Dream” debuts at No. 20; and BLACKPINK bows at No. 30 with their DEADLINE EP. It’s the K-pop quartet’s 10^th top 50 appearance on the national singles frame, including three top 10s and a groundbreaking No. 1 with 2022’s “Pink Venom.”

The only Australian-made title on the ARIA Top 50 Singles Chart belongs to Tame Impala, as “Dracula” lifts 21-17 for a new peak position.

Over on the ARIA Albums Chart, Bruno Mars has the top debut with his fourth studio album, The Romantic. It’s new at No. 2. Mars also peaked at No. 2 in 2010 with Doo-Wops & Hooligans; went all the way to No. 1 for three weeks with 2013’s Unorthodox Jukebox; and hit No. 3 with 2016’s 24K Magic. Also, his Silk Sonic collaboration with Anderson Paak bagged a top 10 appearance with 2021’s An Evening With Silk Sonic, peaking at No. 4. The Romantic generates the top new debut on the ARIA Singles Chart, “Risk It All,” new at No. 13.

Mitski enjoys a career high with her eighth studio album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, which opens its ARIA Chart account at No. 3. That eclipses the No. 7 for her 2022 collection Laurel Hell.

Close behind is Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s “virtual band” Gorillaz, with The Mountain. It’s new at No. 4, for Gorillaz’s sixth top 10 appearance on the ARIA Chart, a tally that includes their 2010 leader Plastic Beach.

Finally, new album releases from Australia acts Pacific Avenue (Lovesick Sentimental at No. 17) and Telenova (The Warning at No. 28) impact the top 40 at first attempt.
