BTS Army members had already been sleeping outside for days, turning an elite stretch of Fifth Avenue into a campground — no thunderstorm was about to dampen their “Euphoria” for Jung Kook’s solo debut in New York’s Central Park Friday morning.And to the squealing delight of his young female fans, the K-pop star was able to tape his three-song set — including a brand-new bop, “Seven” — before looming lightning forced an evacuation that nixed his scheduled live performance as part of the “Good Morning America” Summer Concert Series.At 25, Jung Kook is the youngest member of BTS — and the latest to go solo while the boy band is on hiatus. And despite ominous skies that had dawn looking more like dusk at Rumsey Playfield, the masses behind the mania were still weathering the “hostage situation” — as warm-up comedian Tom Kelly put it — with sunny smiles on their faces.With his shy, modest manner, Jung Kook — despite being one of the main singers in BTS — almost seemed embarrassed by the attention when he entered from the side-stage bleachers to sing “Euphoria.” Although the song is from the 2018 BTS compilation “Love Yourself: Answer,” the singer recorded it as a solo — and seemed to hardly miss his six bandmates.And when the heartthrob crooned to the crowd, “You are the source of my euphoria,” it was clearly more like the other way around.Then Jung Kook launched into his new single “Seven” — which features rapper Latto  — riding the guitar-inflected garage groove with his smooth moves and easy charm.As the rain began to fall, Jung Kook closed the abbreviated festivities with “Dynamite,” BTS’ first No. 1 hit in the US.

“Candy Girl,” was none other than the Material Girl.“Madonna actually opened up for New Edition at Roseland Ballroom in New York City,” Ronnie DeVoe told The Post.“For her to open up for us and [then] see her take off worldwide and just knowing that we were right there at the beginning — it was a special time in our lives,” bandmate Ricky Bell added.Four decades after New Edition’s 1983 debut album, also titled “Candy Girl,” was released — the same month as Madonna’s self-titled debut, to be exact — the guy group is still packing arenas on their Legacy Tour that hits Prudential Center in Newark, NJ this Sunday.

Jonas Brothers famously sang about “Burnin’ Up” (for you, baby) on one of their biggest hits in 2008.Fifteen years later, the New Jersey-born siblings — Joe, 33, Nick, 30, and Kevin, 35 — are hotter than ever. The late-aughts icons kicked off a Broadway mini-residency Tuesday night at the Marquis Theatre, as the trio gears up for the release of their sixth studio LP, simply titled “The Album,” on May 12.So what’s the secret to their longevity?“Writing things that we’d want to play in 20 years,” Nick said in front of a largely female — and loudly squealing — audience that significantly lowered the median age on Broadway on the first of five nights.“We never thought we would get here.

“… Baby One More Time” being originally sung by anyone else. But if pop impresario Simon Cowell had gotten his way, those infamous lyrics would have been delivered by one of his former UK boy bands — and not One Direction, either.

posted his first TikTok on Tuesday sporting gray hair, a full beard and thick glasses — causing several fans to call him a “silver fox.” The “Tearin’ up My Heart” singer posted the 11-second clip while tagging his former bandmates and asking if he was “doing this right.” “That’s really bright, give me this,” said Chasez before grabbing the phone’s camera. “OK, how’s this s–t work,” Chasez can be heard saying while the band’s iconic song “Bye Bye Bye” plays in the background.“Silver fox much?! Hot damn,” wrote one user. “JC went from teen heartthrob to silver fox and I’m here for it,” wrote another.

The footage shows one of the many floating screens above the stage coming unhinged and landing on performers. It is unclear which of Mirror’s 12 members was injured, but the South China Morning Post reported that two of the band’s male dancers — including a popular dancer known as Mo — were taken to the hospital.

the “Butter” boy band. And just to prove that he’s gone from bubblegum to badass, he even drops the F-bomb on on the album-closing “Arson,” of which the fiery video also arrived Friday.“I burned it all/And I wanted it all,” J-Hope raps over an eerie, almost sinister undercurrent.Clearly, with the harder hitting hip-hop of “Jack in the Box” — which finds J-Hope switching between English and Korean — he wants to torch his old BTS image.But the track that perhaps has the biggest hit potential, “= (Equal Sign),” returns J-Hope to poppier territory, delivering a “come together” message with echoes of the Black Eyed Peas and Justin Timberlake hit “Where Is the Love?” Although J-Hope will be making history as the first South Korean artist to headline a major US festival when he rocks Lollapalooza on July 31, the jury is still out on whether he will be able to pull a Timberlake and become a solo superstar.Here, we look back on the hits (Harry Styles) and misses (Nick Carter) when boy-banders have gone solo.MJ set the template for going from a boy band to a solo idol when he left behind his brothers in the Jackson 5 and ascended to the King of Pop throne with the back-to-back blockbusters of 1979’s “Off the Wall,” 1982’s “Thriller” and 1987’s “Bad.” And even though child-molestation allegations before and after his 2009 death have tarnished his legacy, nobody has ever ruled the music world like he once did.The former One Direction heartthrob still sings the group’s biggest hit, “What Makes You Beautiful,” in his concerts.

“Livin’ La Vida Loca,” members of his former boy-band Menudo — one of the biggest Latin groups of all time — were living a nightmare.In a new documentary, Angelo Garcia — who joined Menudo after he had just turned 11 — said he was raped during his 1988-90 stint with the quintet. He details the sexual assault — which he said took place in his hotel room after he was given alcohol by an undisclosed man — in “Menudo: Forever Young,” a four-part docuseries that premieres on HBO Max Thursday.

taking a break as a group to pursue solo projects.However, news surfaced on Thursday that the band is not breaking up and the hiatus phrase was a simple mistranslation, according to their management team HYBE.A rep for the boys told The Post, “To be clear, they are not on hiatus but will take time to explore some solo projects at this time and remain active in various different formats.”While the members will still be undertaking solo work, they won’t stop collaborating together.BTS released a video in Korean earlier this week to announce the next stage of their careers when they reportedly said they would be going on a “temporary hiatus,” but promised they would “return someday.”Band member RM said in the video that it was time to work on their own so they can grow as people.“I always thought that BTS was different from other groups, but the problem with K-pop and the whole idol system is that they don’t give you time to mature. You have to keep producing music and keep doing something,” RM said.“We can’t help but think of our fans no matter what, we want to be the kind of artists that are remembered by our fans.

You saw her — have I got this right? — in the crowd at a gig and you knew there was a connection, there was something,” Thornton asked the band’s eldest member.

No. 1 single “Watermelon Sugar” in 2020, a judge on Britain’s “The X Factor” was sour on the future pop superstar.After the then-16-year-old bakery worker crooned Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” a cappella during his 2010 audition, he was unceremoniously shot down by music manager Louis Walsh.

“MMMBop,” but Hanson’s No. 1 smash hit — which had everybody bopping 25 years ago — is deeper than you might think.“The song [is] all about the passage of time and how very few things will last,” Zac Hanson told The Post.

heartthrob boy band BTS were gifted a creative loophole to show their love for the pop sensations, despite harsh COVID restrictions at Thursday’s Seoul, South Korea, performance.“Cheering loudly, yelling, chanting and standing up during ‘BTS Permission To Dance On Stage — Seoul’ is strictly prohibited according to government guidelines,” the band’s management released in a statement ahead of showtime, according to the Mirror.The outlet also noted the homecoming show — their first for the South Korean capital in over two years — had only 15,000 seated fans of an originally anticipated 70,000 allowed in the Seoul Olympic Stadium.However, those lucky enough to nab a spot inside were still able to share their love for the “Boy With Luv” singers — with good old-fashioned clapping.

the BBC reported.Per the statement, Fu had pretended to be a guy so she become a member of YGN Youth Club’s boot camp, a challenging program that trains preteen boys, aged 11 to 13, the requisite dance and vocal skills to become rich and famous pop stars. A study, entitled the “White paper on idol industry and fan economy in 2019,” projected that China’s idol economy would attain $15 billion by 2020.The aspiring diva was never an official member of the band, only the boot camp, but she did appear in training videos, which depict her rocking a short haircut a la “Shakespeare in Love,” according to the Daily Mail.
