Multinational girl group Katseye to visit PH in Sept

MANILA, Philippines — Hybe's new multinational girl group, Katseye, featuring Filipino member Sophia Laforteza, will visit the Philippines from Sept. 17 to 19, 2-24 as part of its highly anticipated Asia tour.

The group announced the tour on Saturday via X, revealing that it would kick off in Seoul, South Korea, on Sept. 12, followed by stops in the Philippines and Japan, where the tour will conclude on Sept. 23.

Katseye, which debuted in late June, also includes members Daniela, Lara, and Megan from the United States, Manon from Switzerland, and Yoonchae from South Korea.

Laforteza, the girl group's leader, is the first Filipino artist under Hybe, the agency known for managing global acts like BTS, Tomorrow X Together, Seventeen, Enhypen, and NewJeans. Her mother was a stage actress and singer Carla Guevara-Laforteza, while her father, Basilio Godfrey Laforteza III was a former dancer and currently an executive chef in Newport World Resorts.

Katseye was formed through a global talent search that began in November 2021 when Hybe and Geffen Records launched a joint venture, Hybe x Geffen Records, to create a new girl group with "contestants from around the world." Out of over 120,000 applicants, 20 contestants were selected to compete in the reality show "Dream Academy," which determined the six-member lineup of Katseye through a series of intense "missions." The contestants underwent a year of rigorous training in Los Angeles, California, following the Korean idol trainee system. The competition premiered on August 19, 2023, and concluded on Nov. 18, 2023.

The group's formation and their journey toward debut were documented in the Netflix series "Pop Star Academy: Katseye," directed by Nadia Hallgreen and premiered on August 21.

Katseye's debut was officially announced on June 14, 2024, with the release of their first EP, "SIS (Soft Is Strong)." In the lead-up to the EP, Katseye released two singles, "Debut" and "Touch," in June and July, respectively.

Details about Katseye's upcoming events in the Philippines have yet to be announced.

Harris and Walz heading to Georgia as campaign seeks to build on convention momentum

Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will launch a bus tour of southern Georgia next week, the duo’s first time campaigning in the state together and, as of now, their first public event after the Democratic convention in Chicago.

The pair will be using the momentum from the party’s convention to drive them into the last couple months of the general election. In addition to the bus tour, Harris and Walz are expected to tape their first joint interview next week and attend multiple fundraisers, most likely to take place in New York, California, Florida and Georgia, according to two sources familiar with the planning.

Following the tour, Harris will headline a solo rally in Savannah, Georgia. The trip will mark Harris’ seventh visit to the state this year and her second since launching her presidential campaign last month.

“Campaigning in this part of the Peach State is critical as it represents a diverse coalition of voters, including rural, suburban, and urban Georgians — with a large population of Black voters and working class families,” the Harris-Walz campaign said in a press release announcing the bus tour.

Harris and Walz’s visit will come as the Republican ticket ramps up its campaigning in the state. Vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance of Ohio held a campaign event in Valdosta on Thursday, following a rally by former President Donald Trump in Atlanta earlier this month. Republicans, too, have sought to capitalize on polling that suggests the party could pick up a larger share of Black and Latino voters this election cycle.

The southern Georgia bus tour is expected to echo the campaign’s bus tour of western Pennsylvania earlier this month, which included stops at a local campaign field office, a firehouse and a high school football practice.

Harris and Walz initially planned to visit Savannah during the campaign’s battleground state tour earlier this month, but they had to postpone the event due to Tropical Storm Debby.

Though it’s unclear exactly where Harris and Walz will go, southern Georgia is home to some of the state’s largest Black populations, including Dougherty County, which has the second-highest proportion of Black residents in the state. The campaign has opened field offices in the predominantly Black cities of Albany and Valdosta.

“The south Georgia region is a priority for the campaign: We have nearly 50 full time staff across seven offices in the area, including Valdosta. We have hosted more than 500 events in the region since May 31,” Harris-Walz Georgia campaign spokesperson Adelaide Bullock said.

Ranada Robinson, research director for the New Georgia Project Fund, said appealing to Black voters in both rural and urban areas will be critical to Harris’ success in the state, as it was to Biden’s victory in 2020.

“Black voters are the key to winning Georgia. Of course Black Georgians can’t do it alone, but we are absolutely the reason 2020 turned out the way it did,” she said. “Black voters had historical turnout, and it has to happen again for there to be victory in Georgia.”

Earlier this month, Harris held the second rally of her presidential campaign in Atlanta, an event that featured Megan Thee Stallion; the campaign said it attracted more than 10,000 people.

It then launched a mobilization effort in the state and now touts more than 35,000 volunteers, 174 staffers and 24 coordinated campaign offices sprawled across Georgia. The campaign refers to its ground game there as “the largest in-state operation of any democratic presidential campaign cycle ever in Georgia.”

The Harris-Walz campaign said it has recruited nearly 400,000 news volunteers nationally since Harris launched her presidential bid last month. The campaign refers to its ground game there as “the largest in-state operation of any democratic presidential campaign cycle ever in Georgia.”

Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon identified Georgia as one of the campaign’s top targets, noting shifting demographics that could aid the vice president in expanding support from 2020.

“The Vice President’s advantages with young voters, Black voters, and Latino voters will be important to our multiple pathways to 270 electoral votes,” Dillon wrote in a recent memo.

Harris and Walz are also expected to barnstorm battleground states around Labor Day, before Harris focuses more of her time on debate prep ahead of her September matchup with Trump.

A Trump adviser said the campaign expects Harris will get a “bump” coming off the convention but compared it to a “sugar high,” saying they didn’t believe it will change the overall state of the race.

CORRECTION: (Aug. 25, 2024 2:05 p.m. ET) A previous version of this article misstated the number of volunteers the Harris campaign has in Georgia. It has 400,000 nationally, not in the state of Georgia.

22 Places to Visit if You’re a BTS Fan

Welcome to BTS Seoul Tour!

We won’t be talking about concerts here, but if you are planning to go to Seoul soon , or already are in the city, and are fans of BTS, this list will definitely peak your interest.

BTS left an impressive mark in the world’s music industry, and their discography is LONG.

It is impossible in this day and age not to have heard about them!

We tried to compile a list of the best places to visit in Seoul for any BTS fan, to have you walk in their footsteps, feel the hustle of Seoul, create memories for yourself and take memorable pictures to bring back home.

This list is not exhaustive and the group have certainly visited a lot more places, so be sure to let us know in the comments if we should add more, and tag us on Instagram with your own pictures!

BTS Seoul Tour | Walk in BTS’s Footsteps BTS Seoul Tour | Shooting Locations in Seoul BTS Seoul Tour | Shooting Locations Around Seoul BTS Seoul Tour | Places to Eat BTS Seoul Tour | More Places to Visit BTS Seoul Tour | More BTS & Kpop

NOTE | The famous abandoned swimming pool from The most beautiful moment in life : prologue (HYYH) will not be part of the list, as it no longer exists !

Walk in BTS’s Footsteps

Let’s start with 3 iconic places to start your BTS Seoul Tour.

HYBE Entertainment Building

Big Hit Entertainment moved to its new headquarters in the district of Yongsan as it became HYBE Entertainment in March 2021.

HYBE is now the headquarters of multiple labels and spans across all 19 floors of the building.

It is not possible to enter the building and the chances are rare for you to meet your idols here, but it is a place to visit absolutely in your BTS Seoul Tour!

Address | Floor Yangjin Plaza 5F, 5 Hakdong-ro 30-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Old Big Hit Entertainment Studio

The Old Big Hit Entertainment Studio has now become a must-visit place for fans of BTS, as this is where it all began.

This building has seen a lot of blood, sweat and tears from the boys, but it produced the massively popular group we know today!

Although the place is not easy to find and will require you to put on your best pair of glasses, once you find it you’ll see how iconic this place still is for the fandom.

The walls are filled with written messages from ARMYs, and in a whole lot of languages. People travel far to see the place!

Address | 10-31 Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea

 BTS’ Trainee Days Restaurant – Yoojung Sikdang

Yoojung Sikdang is the best place to get the ‘pre-fame’ BTS feel.

The group would eat at this restaurant very regularly in their pre-debut days, and even mentioned it later in variety shows.

The restaurant is still open today, and is now filled with BTS merchandise. The group’s favourite dishes are still on the menu: Dolsot Bibimbap and Jeju Black Pork.

Address | 14 Dosan-daero 28-gil, Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Shooting Locations in Seoul

This list will mix photoshoots and filming places. You might recognise a few!

Laundry Pizza

FROM | BTS Love Yourself: Her E, Version Photoshoot

We’re not the only one writing lists like this one, but the Laundry Pizza is ALWAYS included.

It is an iconic and highly photogenic place to visit, a great place to take your own pictures.

By the way, this is a real restaurant, and you can eat delicious pizzas there!

Address | 810-13 Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea 

Dongjak Bridge

FROM | Love Yourself trilogy photo teaser with V.

Dongjak Bridge, or Dongjakdaegyo Bridge, must be the most popular bridge in Seoul as a lot of K-dramas were filmed there.

It crosses the Han river and includes a railway in addition to the road.

It is one of the busiest bridges as well, with large numbers of pedestrians using it, so you should probably plan to come early to take nice pictures.

Make sure to always pay attention to the vehicles coming and going, and stay safe.

Address | 386 Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Seoul Forest Woodland Playground

FROM | Love Yourself: Answer Photoshoot with Suga.

Unlike the gloomy tunnel in which Suga looks particularly sad and lonely, the area of the park the photoshoot was done is very lively with children running everywhere!

Seoul Forest is a place where people can ride bikes, walk around and bring their children to playgrounds.

Address | 273 Ttukseom-ro, Seongsu-dong 1(il)-na, Seongdong-gu, Seoul

Iryeong station [ 일영역 ]

FROM | Spring Day (MV) – Scenes with V

This abandoned train station became hugely popular overnight, after V shot a few scenes of Spring Day there.

You are allowed to visit the scene and take pictures, but even though the station has been discontinued, you should remain careful when crossing the rails.

Address | Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

You can see the station as soon as the MV starts:

Dongho Bridge

FROM | I Need You (MV) – Scenes with J-Hope

Here’s another bridge for you to visit!

Just like Dongjak Bridge above, Dongho also combines road and rails to cross the Han river.

As always, be careful of vehicles when taking pictures of the place.

Address | Oksu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Shooting Locations NOT in Seoul

Alright, this is a BTS Seoul Tour but we couldn’t resist and added 4 more shooting locations for you to see!

If you have time leave Seoul for a bit and visit those?

Yongin Daejanggeum Park

FROM | Daechwita [대취타], Suga’s solo video as Agust D.

You probably remember this MV as vividly as me, as the location chosen to film was just magnificent.

It is in fact the largest outdoor film set for historical dramas in South Korea, and has replicas of ancient buildings from the Samguk, Goryeo and Joseon periods.

The most recent K-dramas filmed in this location are:

• Haechi (2019)
• Extraordinary You (2019)
• Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung (2019)
• My Country (2019)
• Mr. Queen (2020)

The site has been open to the public since 2011, so you will be able to enter freely and take pictures yourself.

PS – You might also recognise the place from Stray Kids’s MV “ Double Knot (English ver.) “.

Address | 778-1 Yongcheon-ri, Baegam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do

Jumunjin Beach Bus Stop

FROM | You Never Walk Alone – Album Cover

The bus stop featuring on the album cover was so popular after the album’s release that the city Gangneung in Gangwon Province decided to build a replica with the sole purpose of being a photo spot for BTS’ fans.

Address | 8-54 Hyangho-ri, Jumunjin-eup, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea

Bomun Tourist Complex

FROM | The most beautiful moment in life pt.1 – Photoshoot

Remember this beautiful photoshoot where the group poses under cherry blossom trees near to a lake?

Yep, it’s this one and you can visit this location too!

Bomun Tourist Complex is an immense area filled with leisure and tourist facilities such as shopping malls, golf resorts, palace gardens etc.

Address | Sinpyeong-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

Camellia Hill

FROM | Love yourself trilogy – Photoshoot with Jin

Located on Jeju Island, Camellia Hill is a camellia arboretum created in 1979.

According to this website “The arboretum is home to 6,000 camellia trees of 500 different species including species that are known to produce the world’s largest and earliest blossoms.”

A beautiful photoshoot was made with Jin in this location.

Ossu Seiromushi [오쓰 세이로무시]

They serve traditional Japanese dishes and quickly became a very popular place to dine in.

The restaurant is always full so you’ll need to make a reservation beforehand!

Address | 30 Baekjegobun-ro 45-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea

This cafe is in Busan but if you happen to be in the area you should go and take a look!

Unfortunately, the cafe permanently closed recently.

BTS Seoul Tour | More Places to Visit

These places are not filming or shooting locations but still have a link to our favourite group, and are all worth checking out.

Banpo Hangang Park 

Banpo Hangang Park  always has been a go-to place for Seoul locals, and for that reason was featured in “BTS’ Life in Seoul”.

Address | 40 Sinbanpo-ro 11-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea

See Banpo Hangang Park in the first part of the video :

You read correctly, RM has in fact two forests!

• Forest 1 was created by fans in celebration of RM’s 25th birthday.
• Forest 2 was created in celebration of his 26th birthday.

RM has always been an advocate for the preservation of our environment, so these gifts couldn’t have been more spot on.

Addresses: Forest 1 | 65 Hangaram-ro, Jamsil 2(i)-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul Forest 2 | 389 Ichon 2(i)-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

This location is probably the least popular of the list, just because people don’t know it exists!

If you happen to be in Gwangju, you must visit the “hopeworld” sculpture the city revealed near the end of 2020.

The sculpture, a collaboration between the city of Gwangju and a K-pop Art School, was created in honour of J-Hope.

By JUSTINE PUNZALAN Published Jan 19, 2023 4:12 pm Updated Jan 19, 2023 6:16 pm

Sad news for BTS ARMYs flying to Seoul, South Korea in the coming days: HYBE INSIGHT Museum is taking a hiatus.

On Jan. 15, the museum announced that it is closing its doors on the same day and will soon move from HYBE's Yongsan building in Seoul to an undisclosed location.

"We are closing our HYBE INSIGHT museum at HYBE's Yongsan building as of Jan 15, 2023," the cultural center wrote on Twitter. " We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back soon at a new location with more engaging exhibits. Stay tuned to our Twitter and website for all future updates. Thank you!"

The entertainment company is converting the space to dance studios, production rooms, and other facilities for its expanding lineup of artists.

We are closing our HYBE INSIGHT museum at HYBE's Yongsan building as of Jan 15, 2023. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back soon at a new location with more engaging exhibits. Stay tuned to our Twitter and website for all future updates. Thank you! — HYBE INSIGHT (@HYBEINSIGHTtwt) January 15, 2023

Launched on May 14, 2021, HYBE INSIGHT has been a must-visit attraction for ARMYs all over the world for its interactive displays and exhibitions where they can learn and connect with the agency's top talent, BTS, among its other artists.

The art complex, located on the two basement floors of HYBE's headquarters, allows visitors to "see, hear, touch, and feel the power of [HYBE's] music and beliefs" through exhibitions themed as "sound," "movement," and "story."

The "Innovative Sound" section provides a deep dive into the company's process of creating songs, such as BTS's 2020 track "ON," with the musical equipment and amenities used by its producers and engineers.

"Dynamic Movement," meanwhile, is an area with three massive displays giving visitors a new perspective on creating the complex yet catchy dance choreography of HYBE artists while "Inspiring Story" illustrates the success journey of HYBE artists through photos and text displays. 

In addition, the museum was designed to make visitors "touch" and "smell" the tracks produced by HYBE artists when they touch the speakers and enter a room with a scent inspired by the song "Euphoria" by BTS' Jungkook.

Meanwhlie, the leaders of HYBE's K-pop groups such as RM of BTS  and Yuju of GFriend can serve as the visitors' audio tour guide with the use of the museum's guided tour app.

Reservations to HYBE INSIGHT are only booked through the Weverse Shop.

Apart from BTS, the agency is home to bands like Tomorrow X Together, ENHYPEN, Seventeen, GFriend, and NU’EST.
