Good morning and welcome to Kid News, I'm Kim, today's Thursday, June 16, 2022.

The famous K-Pop boy band shocked the music world Tuesday by announcing a break-in group

In a video to fans, singer RM suggested the pace of K-Pop didn't give him or his bandmates

added, I think that's why we're going through a rough patch right now, we're trying to

and even visited the White House, and now range in age from 24 to 28 years old.
