After almost four years, the wait is over. BTS officially announced their comeback as a group with the album ‘ARIRANG’, which will arrive on all platforms on March 19, 2026. The project includes 14 completely new songs and none have been leaked as a single, so it will be a total surprise.

A title with cultural weight and luxury collaborations

The name is not coincidental. ‘Arirang’ is a fundamental Korean folk song, considered almost an unofficial anthem of the country. UNESCO recognized it as Intangible Cultural Heritage. It speaks of longing, resistance and hope.

“The word can be interpreted as ‘my beloved’ or ‘my dear,’ and its narrative revolves around crossing a difficult pass while maintaining the memory of those left behind,” the statement explains.

To shape this comeback, they brought together heavy producers: Diplo, El Guincho, Mike WiLL Made-It, Kevin Parker (from Tame Impala) and Ryan Tedder. It sounds like they want to make noise.

The comeback calendar: concerts, Netflix and world tour

It’s not just an album. It is quite an event with key dates:

  • March 19, 2026: World premiere of ‘ARIRANG’.
  • March 20: Special concert “BTS The Comeback Live” in Seoul, broadcast on Netflix.
  • March 27: Premiere of the documentary “BTS: The Return” on Netflix.

1. April 9: Start of the Arirang World Tour, which will extend until 2027.

– May 7, 2026

After years of watching them shine alone, the seven return to the studio. Looks like it was worth the wait.

Jack White faces his third divorce, now with Olivia Jean

The singer requests support after alleging irreconcilable differences with the guitarist.

Three years after getting married in the middle of a concert, Jack White and Olivia Jean legally separate.

Lawsuit filed in Nashville

According to documents accessed by People magazine, Olivia Jean went to the Nashville court on June 3 to request a divorce. In the letter, he alleges irreconcilable differences and points out that the musician’s behavior constituted an “unsafe and improper coexistence.”

The singer also did not offer additional details about that behavior, but the lawsuit describes the situation as “inappropriate marriage.”

Financial requests

In addition to the dissolution of the bond, Jean asks for alimony, that White continue paying his medical insurance and that she remain the beneficiary of the guitarist’s life insurance. She argues that she depends on him financially.

Musician’s background

This is the third divorce for Jack White, 50. He was previously married to Meg White, his partner in The White Stripes, and to the singer and model Karen Elson, with whom he has two children.

So far, neither party has made public statements about the end of the marriage.

Claudia Martín takes a break to raise her son Máximo

The actress takes a break to enjoy her six-month-old baby.

Claudia Martín prioritizes raising her son Máximo

Actress Claudia Martín decided to take some time away from soap operas to dedicate herself to her son Máximo, who was born on December 29 of last year. Her current priority is the family she forms with actor Carlos Said.

The couple was caught at the Mexico City airport after visiting Oaxaca, Claudia’s home state. There they talked about the happiness that the arrival of their first child has brought them.

“The first son who gave us life and, I am very happy, to be honest,” said Carlos Said.

Claudia Martín specified that her last leading role was in “Juegos de amor y poder”. Now, she focuses on her marriage — which celebrated its first anniversary on June 21 — and each stage of Máximo’s growth.

“We are not in that yet, we are enjoying our baby and once the right project that they propose to us arrives, we will gladly return,” said the actress.

For Carlos Said, it is important to enjoy fatherhood without rushing to return to the sets. His wife agrees:

“Right now, I am one hundred percent focused on the family, on my baby; obviously, it is a process that you have to return as a woman first, the new version of Claudia, who is also a mother, and then, well, the actress, who has to be prepared psychologically, physically and mentally as well and, when she is ready, I will return,” she considered.

The actress does not rule out returning to acting, but only when the right project arises. For now, her priority is raising Máximo.

Since appearing in the Angel of Independence, Merlin has gone from being a local mascot to a viral figure. His owner, Karla, walked him along Paseo de la Reforma wearing a Tricolor t-shirt while selling water.

“The duck lasts a maximum of seven years if they take good care of it. The World Cup is over in a month and the duck becomes history, and with that wool they fix up their house and buy another set of better clothes,” De Nigris wrote in X.

Faced with criticism, the businessman defended his position and assured that his intention was to make Merlin the mascot of Ring Royale, one of his projects. He warned that the offer would only be valid as long as the World Cup fever lasted.

“We are nowhere near. Half a million friend and soon you will shit my entire house, but because of the value now I forgive you as a RR mascot,” he added in another message.

He then confirmed that he was already in contact with Karla’s representatives and increased the offer to 800 thousand pesos. “We’ll probably see each other this weekend,” he said.
