THE BTS ‘EXTENDED BREAK’ ENDS AFTER JUST A MONTH: BTS has ended their “extended break” after only one month. Big Hit Entertainment announced that the group would take time off to rest and relax back in August. They previously said, “This period of rest will be an opportunity for the members of BTS, who have relentless driven themselves towards their goal since their debut, to recharge and prepare to present themselves anew as musicians and creators.” Fans most likely expected the break to last much longer than a month, but Big Hit has confirmed that the guys are ready to hit the stage again. “Wrapping up its extended vacation, BTS departed overseas this morning for an engagement abroad,” the management team told E! News. Next month, the group’s Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour will visit Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Seoul, South Korea.

AJ MITCHELL AND AVA MAX RELEASE ‘SLOW DANCE’ VIDEO: AJ Mitchell and Ava Max have released a video for their collab “Slow Dance.” In the clip, the two singers croon together and separately while in a Gothic church with stained glass and a million candles, which also, apparently, doubles as a spot for raves. The two also get very close in a hallway, but don’t quite kiss, and later, they take the plunge in a pool, holding hands underwater and smiling at each other while soaked. “Slow Dance” comes from AJ’s EP of the same name, which came out August 23rd. It features four songs: “Move On,” “Slow Dance,” “Talk So Much” and “Out My Mind.”
