Local VFX Artist Sofian Teases Latest Collab With SEVENTEEN Member Jun
His upcoming collaboration will differ from his previous one, as this time he'll be working with a K-pop singer rather than a Hollywood actor. He had previously teased on Twitter that he was awaiting approval to proceed with a project, without specifying or hinting at what it was. However, it has now been revealed that Sofian will be releasing a video with SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) member Jun (文俊輝/준).
Yesterday (Tuesday, 5th August), Sofian announced that he had recently completed filming a VFX video with Chinese singer and SEVENTEEN member Jun. 'I was worried that Jun might have trouble imagining things that weren't actually there, but once the cameras started rolling, he was so full of energy and gave his all. Please look forward to it!,' the content creator wrote in his caption.
For context, Jun (real name Wen Junhui) will be starring alongside Jackie Chan in the upcoming action-thriller 'The Shadow's Edge'. Courtesy of Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), Sofian is collaborating with the idol to promote the film, which is set for release next weekend on 16th August. As expected, SEVENTEEN fans were thrilled by the announcement, with many even urging the local star to invite the actor to Malaysia to promote the film.
Sofian updated that the editing process for the collab video is nearly completed, so we'll just have to wait a little longer to finally see it. For now, how about checking out the trailer for 'The Shadow's Edge'?

Malaysia's zaniest and craziest hotel crew is back - and fans can start buckling up for all-out laughter in 'Boleh Saya Bantu? 2'
They are a crazy lot and top it up tops in being zany, and naturally, the "Boleh Saya Bantu" gang is back for a second season, and that too by immense popular demand. After the success of its first season, the immensely popular "Boleh Saya Bantu" team is back to rib-tickle and delight their many, many fans. Directed by Shuhaimi Lua, the main man of the show has promised that viewers that the latest edition promises to be more laugh-riot, more dramatic, and more 'messy'. If previously the audience was presented with the humorous antics of the Tea Tree hotel workers who faced various guest troubles, this time their journey continues with a deeper and more colorful narrative, interspersed with personal conflicts that will change everything for the zany lot. The same cast that has been the mainstay since the beginning, fills the screen once again, including Andi Bernadee, Riena Diana, Mark Adam, Wanie Ooi and Nasz Sally, along with the appearance of new characters such as Aliff Hadi. To top up the cast recipe, this season is also graced with special appearances by influential Malaysian artists such as Fadlan Hazim, Khatijah Tan, Joey Daud, Muaz Zabir, Josiah Hogan, Ropie, Fizo Omar, and many more. Viewers will be taken into the twists and turns of Nasar's (Andi Bernadee) life after going through a sudden divorce from Jannah. Now assigned to manage the Love Wave Hotel, a hotel owned by Tuan Joe that is almost bankrupt, with Datuk Sudin (Mark Adam), his life becomes increasingly complicated when he gets entangled in a love triangle between Farida (Riena Diana) and Haiza (Wanie Ooi). Nasar, who initially tried to keep his divorce situation a secret, finally came to terms with it when his status was revealed, but insisted on staying away from any commitment as he was still haunted by the trauma of his failed marriage. Things became even more chaotic when he was persuaded to get back together with Jannah, something he refused to accept. Despite the emotional turmoil, the mission to save the Love Wave Hotel operation is also beset by various trials of its own. A series of unexpected incidents begin to occur, from the presence of suspicious guests, mysterious calls, the appearance of a modern shaman (bomoh moden), to the discovery of a new incident that will determine Farida's true soulmate. Can Nasar give his full attention to managing the hotel when his own emotions are still disturbed? And what is the secret hidden behind the disruptions that suddenly keep appearing in their life and the hotel? Andi Bernadee, who returns to play the main character as Nasar, admits that it is not an easy role, let alone portraying the character of a widower who is full of internal conflicts. 'I have never been married, so trying to understand the emotions of a man who has failed in a relationship is challenging,' he said. For Andi, the character of Nasar also carries a meaningful message by showing the emotional side of a man, especially when faced with pressure in his career and personal life. "I also chatted and got information from friends who are married and have gone through this problem. I tried to delve into their lives. Some struggled and some just went on with life, and the sentence I remember the most is, 'life must go on.' I understand that there are definitely sad times and happy times. So I took an approach based on the script of this drama," added Andi. But the much-awaited series is not just a love story and comedy, but also touches on the various challenging realities faced by hotel workers, a life that is rarely given the spotlight on television. According to Riena Diana, who plays Farida, "There are scenes that are very close to reality, such as issues of physical and mental abuse in relationships, dangerous cosmetics, and career women who are willing to support 'living lizards'. Each scene in this drama brings its interpretation, reflecting the reality of society from the perspective of hotel workers." "Boleh Saya Bantu? 2" begins on Friday (Aug 8, 2025), every Friday and Saturday, at 9pm on Lestary TV3 slot.

RM32 Fried Rice, RM11 teh o ais limau? M'sian says ‘No Fuiyoh' to Uncle Roger's overhyped eatery
A Malaysian man's recent dining experience at Uncle Roger's Restaurant has sparked debate online after he claimed the food wasn't worth the RM370 he paid. Steven Chan took to Facebook to share a detailed review of his visit to the Mid Valley Southkey outlet, listing 16 items he and his group ordered, which included service charges and SST. ALSO READ: Hong Kong content creator calls Uncle Roger's new KL restaurant 'worst dining experience' While price was a concern, Steven's main issue was the food quality. 'I ordered the cheapest fried rice for RM16. 'The owner asked if I wanted to add anything. I said garlic prawns, and that added another RM16 — but I only got five bland prawns. Total RM32. One bite in, and my heart sank,' he wrote. 'Even the boss double-checked the bill, asking, 'How did simple fried rice cost RM37?' Yeah, I want to know that too. 'As for the fried dumplings — sure, they were stuffed, but still felt way overpriced,' he lamented. 'I also ordered Uncle Roger's 'favourite drink' — RM11.50, and it turned out to be just a teh o ais limau. 'Sorry Uncle Roger. No Fuiyoh, No Next Time,' he stated. In conclusion, he advised others to skip the restaurant unless they're die-hard fans. 'Unless you're really craving for it, don't go. This is the kind of place you try once and never return,' he said. Since its opening in September 2024, Uncle Roger's Restaurant — founded by Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, famous for his viral food critique videos — has received mixed reviews, with many diners pointing out long waiting times and inconsistent food standards. Steven's post triggered swift reactions online, with some netizens siding with him while others argued that he had the choice not to eat there in the first place. One user called Wong Ta Fat wrote: 'The expensive part isn't even the food — it's the 'IQ tax' that cost RM300, while the actual food was just RM70. I have no interest at all in trying these kinds of restaurants.' '6 plates of fried rice, 1 fried noodles, 6 bottles of water, 1 serving of satay, and 2 portions of mala dumplings. The average price per item came to RM23.18, including service charge and tax. Comparable to prices at a shopping mall — though the portion sizes, that's another question,' Vincent Yeap pointed out.

YG Entertainment Suspends Fan Gatherings Outside Building Amid Safety Concerns
For years, fans have flocked to the front of the official HYBE building in Hapjeong, Seoul, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourite K-pop idols. The site quickly became a must-visit for K-pop enthusiasts, it was known for spontaneous sightings, casual meet-and-greets, and fan-organised events. More than just a company headquarters, it came to symbolise a unique connection between artists and fans. As time went on, the area transformed into a cultural touchpoint. Fans from all over the world gathered there, not just to see idols, but to bond with each other. They left handwritten letters, thoughtful gifts, and heartfelt messages. Some simply stood by to soak in the atmosphere. The space offered a shared experience that few other places could replicate. On 6th August (Wednesday), YG Entertainment released an official statement announcing that all face-to-face interactions outside their building would come to an end. The company pointed to growing safety concerns for both artists and fans. Additionally, complaints from nearby residents about noise and overcrowding have been ongoing for years, but the recent surge in attendance has made the situation harder to control. In the statement, the agency thanked fans for their continued support and enthusiasm. However, they emphasised that the safety and well-being of their artists must come first. They also asked fans to avoid lingering outside the building for extended periods and urged everyone to respect the new guidelines moving forward. While HYBE has yet to release an official explanation for the sudden shift in approach, many fans believe it's driven by similar safety concerns. During TREASURE (트레저) member Yoon Jaehyuk's (윤재혁) recent birthday, an overwhelming crowd gathered outside the building. The situation escalated so quickly that police had to step in, highlighting just how intense these gatherings can become. Reactions from fans have been mixed. While some support the change, hoping it will give idols more privacy and reduce potential risks, others feel disappointed that a long-standing ritual has come to an end. Many are frustrated that the behaviour of a few has affected the entire fan base. Regardless of opinion, the decision marks a bittersweet turning point in how fans connect with their favourite artists in real life. Here is the full statement: Sources: Koreaboo, YG Entertainment Zaima Humaira contributed to this article
