NewJeans' Danielle Marsh stars in a campaign for the new Omega Aqua Terra collection

CNA19-06-2025
K-pop idol Danielle Marsh of NewJeans is one of the faces of a new campaign by Omega promoting its new Seamaster Aqua Terra collection.
The Australian-South Korean singer stars in the campaign alongside rising actress Marisa Abela, Academy Award-winning actress Ariana DeBose, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Tems, model and entrepreneur Ashley Graham and Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, a new face in modelling and the daughter of actress Nicole Kidman.
The campaign, titled What's Your Secret, highlights the Aqua Terra in a new, smaller size of 30mm.
There are a total of 12 new references to choose from in a range of vibrant dials and precious materials. These include five stainless steel models with polished and brushed bracelets, one model in 18K Sedna Gold and three references in 18K Moonshine Gold, available in their pure form or in a choice of three two-tone gold combinations with stainless steel.
Dial options include deep blue, deep purple, vibrant green, cool black, warm brown as well as mother-of-pearl options. Each model features a date window at six o'clock and a sapphire crystal caseback that reveals the movement within.
'I find that the Seamaster Aqua Terra's ladies' collection is actually a very neutral, elegant timepiece. And the one I'm wearing right now is the 30mm model with the pink dial and stainless-steel bracelet. I think it's a flattering size that fits perfectly on my wrist,' Marsh said of the new collection.
The Aqua Terra collection debuts at a time when watch brands are embracing a trend towards smaller case sizes, catering to growing demand for more refined and wearable proportions. Blancpain recently launched a new Fifty Fathoms collection in a 38mm case size.
The new Aqua Terra watches are powered by one of two new Master Chronometer movements, both with a 20mm diameter designed specifically for the 30mm case: Calibre 8750 (with a thickness of 3.98mm) for stainless steel and two-tone models and Calibre 8751 (with a thickness of 4.08mm) for precious metal models.
These new movements feature the Co-Axial escapement, free-sprung balance with silicon balance spring, and automatic winding in both directions. They also boast magnetic resistance to 15,000 gauss and more than 48 hours of power reserve.

A Singaporean teen chasing K-pop dreams in Seoul

Meet Cassa, a Singaporean teen chasing her K-pop dreams By CNA/Nuria Ling Cassa Tan, 15, left school in Singapore to pursue K-pop training in Seoul. 'K-pop is my calling,' she says confidently. Awarded a six-month scholarship by SM Universe, Cassa goes to a performing arts high school in the morning and spends the rest of the day at vocal and dance training. Her parents support her fully. 'This journey alone is already a huge gain,' said her father. 'She's also learning Korean as a third language, which will open more doors for her.' 'I know the industry is harsh and I've read stories about idols struggling with mental health, which saddens me. But I'm mentally preparing myself to handle the pressure,' said Cassa. Next Story

J-pop idol Kenshin Kamimura found guilty of indecent assault in Hong Kong

J-pop star Kenshin Kamimura was found guilty by a Hong Kong court on Wednesday (Aug 13) of the indecent assault in March of a woman who served as his interpreter during a fan event. Kamimura, 26, was previously a member of the six-member boy group One N' Only. He pleaded not guilty in April and chose not to testify during the trial in July. Magistrate Peter Yu said that Kamimura's behaviour showed obvious disrespect towards women, noting that his touches suggested a sexual undertone. "Such behaviour should be condemned," Yu said, fining him HK$15,000 (US$1,923) after his lawyer in mitigation urged a financial penalty rather than jail. On hearing the sentence, Kamimura hugged his court translator, while a handful of fans wept in the public gallery. Dozens more waited outside after the hearing ended as Kamimura left court without saying anything. The victim, identified only as X, testified in July that Kamimura and actor Junsei Motojima hired her as an interpreter to translate during a fan meeting in Hong Kong on Mar 1. The group then attended a celebratory dinner at a restaurant in the city's Mong Kok district. She told the court Kamimura moved to sit beside her during a toasting session and started repeatedly brushing and patting her thigh before suggesting they visit the bathroom together. He asked both in Chinese and Japanese if she knew what he meant, she added. X said she declined, telling him, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself." She said she then moved away to get some tea, but Kamimura blocked her path and again asked her to go outside. She told the court she refused. After X returned to her seat, Kamimura also came back and sat beside her. He apologised and said, "Forget what just happened," she recalled in her testimony. The singer also asked her about her relationship status and whether she planned to marry her boyfriend, she said. Kamimura then brushed her inner thigh again with the back of his right hand, X told the court. She shrank away, but he repeated the action about two to three times. Kamimura's lawyer said in mitigation that his client did not intend to coerce or threaten and that alcohol might have affected his judgment. The magistrate said that Kamimura had paid a huge price for the incident, saying he was immediately fired by his company and forced to leave the band.

'Unhappy Meal': McDonald's Japan sorry for Pokemon debacle

McDonald's Japan has apologised after a campaign giving away limited-edition Pokemon cards with "Happy Meals" triggered long queues and social media outrage about food waste. Cards with the "little monsters" are extremely popular among children but also adult superfans and collectors, with billions printed and some selling for millions of dollars. There have even been cases of shops that sell the cards – which represent monsters and their attributes – being broken into and physical fights breaking out in low-crime Japan. Launched Friday, the McDonald's stunt soon went awry with some people flocking to buy meals in bulk to resell the attached cards at a higher price on e-commerce sites. Social media was awash with complaints about long queues at McDonald's outlets, with unverified pictures of plastic bags full of uneaten burgers and fries. Some dubbed it the "Unhappy Meals" campaign. "I couldn't buy a Happy Meal for my daughter because of these people", one user posted on X. "I'm sure there are adult Pokemon fans who genuinely want the cards, but these resellers are truly embarrassing," another wrote. "They go to great lengths to collect them and then throw away food ... for how much profit?" Similar problems have hit other McDonald's campaigns, including past collaborations with manga series such as "Chiikawa". Announcing the latest campaign, the firm stressed that each person could buy a maximum of five meals. In a statement Monday (Aug 11), McDonald's conceded there were some instances of "resale-driven mass purchases by customers" that led to "our food being thrown away or discarded". It added that it was looking to "introduce a stricter cap" on future Happy Meals purchases. "Any attempts to buy more than permitted, repeatedly stand in the line, and behave intimidatingly toward our staff" will be met with a rejection, the firm said.
