Photos: Reuters, Gibson TV/YouTube Michael J. Fox and other stars of classic film Back To The Future appealed for the public's help on June 3 in locating the red Gibson guitar featured in a memorable scene. Marty McFly, the time-travelling teen portrayed by Fox in the 1985 film, stunned students at a 1950s high school dance with wild electric guitar riffs played on a Gibson ES-345 Cherry Red guitar in the movie. The guitar went missing after production wrapped. "It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum, or it's in some Teamster's garage," Fox joked in a video released by Gibson. Co-stars Lea Thompson, Christopher Lloyd and Harry Waters Jr. also urged the public to join the search, as did singer Huey Lewis, whose song The Power Of Love was featured in the movie. Gibson is filming a documentary called Lost To The Future about the search for the guitar. It also plans to re-issue the ES-345 Cherry Red in October. People can submit tips about the guitar's whereabout via or via a phone number provided on the site. – Reuters

Malaysia's K-pop princess Lingling saddles up for a fierce debut
Published on: Wednesday, June 04, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jun 04, 2025 By: Ian Jeremiah Patrick, Malay Mail Text Size: Lingling (third right) was named leader of K-pop group KIIRAS. - Pic by social media KUALA LUMPUR: The wait is over! Malaysia's first female K-pop idol Alicia Wong Lingling has finally made her industry debut recently, with the release of her group KIIRAS' first single. On May 29, its agency Leanbranding officially released the music video for Kill Ma Bo$$, which is currently racking up 262,151 views and over 28,000 likes on YouTube. It has also received positive reviews for its fresh Americana and Country R&B concept, riding at the back of the popular musical trend. With an overdriven guitar line at the background, the song is a fierce, playful anthem about taking control, breaking free from authority, and owning one's power with confidence, charm, and a rebellious killer attitude. Taking centre stage was none other than group leader Lingling, donning a denim vest, cowboy hat and riding a horse. She radiates youthful charm and lively energy, while alongside her, KIIRAS members captivate viewers with dynamic choreography and colourful styling. A promotional video was uploaded weeks prior, which featured singer-actor Eum Moon-suk and Seo In-guk, whom K-drama fans might recognise from Death's Game (2023) or the South Korean reality-documentary show Law of the Jungle. The official teaser for the music video was released shortly after, further building anticipation ahead of the full release. The music video was supposed to be a pre-release, but it changed to a debut, and it continues to gain views and spark conversations on social media, as fans eagerly await what's next for this newly formed six-member girl group. Together with Lingling, the full line-up of KIIRAS — Harin, Kurumi, Kylie, Doyeon, and Roah — was officially announced earlier this month, and they have since performed the song in M Countdown, the weekly music show at Korean broadcaster Mnet. - Malay Mail * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

(Video) DAY6 YoungK's Recent Song Cover Was Filmed In Mega Star Arena?
Last year, K-pop rock band DAY6 (데이식스) won over Malaysian fans with their first Malaysian concert at Mega Star Arena. Almost a year after the show, the quartet continues to make headlines among Malaysian fans, with some suspecting that their newest cover drop could have been filmed at last year's concert venue. Yesterday (3rd June 2025), DAY6 member YoungK (영케이) posted a short cover of 'Close To You' by The Carpenters on their socials. The 48-second cover features a familiar red seat in a dimly lit hall, which eagle-eyed fans have speculated could be the upper seating area of Mega Star Arena. The observation was made by a local fan via Twitter, who pointed out that the red seats look like those on the upper deck of Mega Star Arena. The fans speculate that the filming of the cover could have taken place in Malaysia during their first concert last year. Fans have also pointed out the similarity of YoungK's outfit in the cover video to what he wore during the soundcheck session on the show's second-day performance, which solidified speculations. Other than the similarity in outfits and hairstyle, other fans have also noticed the familiar green sign, which resembles Malaysia's exit sign. Twitter user @/day6inifinite comments, 'Am I delusional or is this Mega Star Arena and the green exit sign with the YoungK outfit for sound check day 2 in KL?'. The comments section is also filled with fan support for the vocalist's new cover. While there's no confirmation yet, fans are convinced the cover was filmed in our very own city.
