South Korean boy band BTS is going on hiatus

The group told fans during a televised dinner celebrating their anniversary they had decided to take an extended break and pursue solo projects.

Band member Jimin says the group is going through a “rough patch”.

Their whole conversation, which lasted more than an hour, was uploaded to their official YouTube channel.

The seven members of BTS are aged between 24 and 29

In the video, Jimin explained they’re still trying to find their identity.

“I think that’s why we’re going through a rough patch right now, we’re trying to find our identity and that’s an exhausting and long process.”

During the conversation, another band member RM said that while they had achieved a great deal as BTS, the individual members needed to grow and mature as individuals.

BTS arrived on the scene in 2013.

Their biggest hits include Dynamite, Butter and the Coldplay collaboration My Universe.

Charlie Kirk united GOP grassroots through social media and activism, but his death raises questions about future leadership.

Charlie Kirk transformed the Republican grassroots movement by fusing social media reach with in-person activism, turning Turning Point USA into a cultural and political force.

His bold campus debates, viral online presence, and close alliance with Donald Trump energised young conservatives and boosted GOP turnout.

With his assassination, questions now loom over who can continue his unique blend of digital influence and grassroots organising.

Dollar steady ahead of Fed’s expected rate cut decision on Wednesday

In Short:
– The U.S. dollar stayed stable as investors await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut announcement.
– Asian equities rose, with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index hitting a record high amid U.S. market gains.

The U.S. dollar remained stable on Monday as investors await the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting, where the central bank is expected to announce its first interest rate cut in nine months.

Trading volumes were low due to a holiday in Japan, causing currencies to remain rangebound.

Market participants have largely priced in a 25 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate, anticipated to bring the key rate to between 4.00%-4.25%.

This marks the first easing action since December 2024.

Recent economic data indicates a cooling labour market, with jobless claims rising to the highest levels since 2021, overshadowing inflation concerns.
