Singer JJ Lin reveals he has a heart condition during final show of current world tour
According to Lin, he received his diagnosis in April 2024. Since then, he has been required to take medication daily.
"This news left me in shock. I never thought this problem would happen to me," said Lin. "I felt, for the first time, that the sands of time are flowing faster. How long can I sing? That question suddenly became a reality.
"But I told myself that even if my heartbeat becomes irregular, I will continue to work hard."
After his announcement, fans cheered for Lin, with many telling him to press on. "I believe that with mine and the team's hard work, we will present everything to make all of your hard work and money spent to be here, worth it."
He continued: "But no matter how well we do, there will always be trouble; these noises hiding in the corner. I'm not blind or deaf to these, but I choose to laugh it off and continue to do what I do.
"Because I know that this stage is not just mine, it also belongs to my true JMs (JJ Lin's fan club name). Together we use music and love to build this sanctuary that won't fall easily."
He concluded by thanking his fan club, also called Lin Ju Li, which translates to JJ's Distance.
"We have cried and laughed together, grown together, and evolved into better people together. You will always be my closest music family. I love you."
He also thanked his family, friends and colleagues for accompanying him through his highs and lows, believing in him and supporting him when he needed it most.
"I, Lin Jun Jie, will remember this love for the rest of my life."

Byte The Habit About the show: Byte the Habit is a heartwarming social experiment series that tackles the timely and often unspoken questions of our time: What is technology doing to us and our families—and what can we do about it? From dinner tables interrupted by notifications to downtime routines governed by algorithms, screens have seeped into every corner of our domestic lifestyle. Over six episodes, behavioural scientist Dr. Jean Liu, guides three families into a process of tailored experimentation, inviting us to pause, reflect and reimagine the way we live with technology. These aren't stories about going analog.

Actor Chen Xi, son of veteran artistes Xiang Yun and Edmund Chen, is married
Actor Chen Xi is married. He and his Japanese wife, Mimi, first met through a language-exchange app and previously announced their engagement in May 2024. On Monday (Jul 14), the 34-year-old son of Singaporean actors Xiang Yun and Edmund Chen announced the good news on Instagram with a series of Peranakan-themed photos. 'Tied the knot with my Player two,' Chen Xi wrote, adding that he and Mimi decided not to have a full-blown wedding ceremony in Singapore, but instead, a 'small and heartfelt' solemnisation with their closest family. 'We chose to keep things simple, sincere, and true to us, and what better space than a charming Peranakan shophouse at Little Social which also reflects a small dream Mimi and I share for the future.' He continued to thank everyone close to him as well. 'To my parents, thank you for being my anchor, for your quiet sacrifices, and for showing me what love and family truly look like,' he said. He also thanked his younger sister, actress Chen Yixin, for 'stepping up without hesitation' and being the 'real MVP (Most valuable player)' behind the scenes. 'To my aunties, uncles, and my brothers and sisters, thank you for being the roots and rhythm of this day, and for surrounding us with so much love,' he added. Chen Xi also thanked Mimi's family. 'To my new Japanese side of the family, thank you for making the long journey here, even with little ones in tow. Your presence truly means the world to us.' The actor, lastly, thanked his team for the 'insane hours, the love, and the beautiful memories captured'. 'From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all. Here's to a lifetime of side quests together,' he concluded. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chen Xi 陈熙 (@chxnxi) Under the post, his mother, Xiang Yun commented: 'May you respect and love each other, walk hand in hand for a lifetime, and be happy and fulfilled. Mommy's blessing.' Fellow actors Romeo Tan, Richie Koh, Edwin Goh, Hong Hui Fang and many others also congratulated the couple on tying the knot. Chen Xi and Mimi met in 2020 during the pandemic when he signed up for an online language-exchange app to learn Japanese. In the process, Chen Xi also taught Mimi Singlish. When Chen Xi went to London for his Master's programme for 16 months in 2023, he thought he and Mimi would have to call it quits. She, however, managed to get a visa to work in England and found a job there. The pair's relationship thus blossomed after.
