China's Pop Mart, maker of the Labubu doll, says profit soars nearly 400% in first half
SHANGHAI, Aug 19 (Reuters) - China's Pop Mart ( opens new tab, which has taken the world by storm with its ugly-cute Labubu doll, reported a nearly 400% first-half net profit on Tuesday on high demand for the toys and a shift towards higher-margin overseas markets. Net profit of 396.5% and a 204.4% jump in revenues exceeded numbers flagged in an earnings preview last month forecasting revenue growth of 200% in the first half of 2025 and a recurring net profit increase of at least 350% on the year. Shares in Pop Mart have risen more than 200% year-to-date, making the Chinese toy company more valuable than traditional industry giants like Barbie-maker Mattel (MAT.O), opens new tab and Hello Kitty parent company Sanrio (8136.T), opens new tab. Pop Mart often sells its collectable figurines in so-called "blind boxes" with buyers not knowing the exact design they will receive until they open the packaging. One of the major drivers of the toothy-grinned Labubu's success has been its popularity with celebrity fans, who include Lisa of K-pop group Blackpink, singer Rihanna and ex-soccer star David Beckham. Pop Mart is pledging to increase supply of the dolls, which have sold out in stores around the world. Its CEO Wang Ning, in an interview with Chinese state media last month, said sales of Labubu will surpass 10 million units per day from September this year. Pop Mart classifies Labubu under its "The Monsters" intellectual property (IP) characters. It said on Tuesday that "The Monsters" raked in 4.81 billion yuan ($669.88 million) in the first half, accounting for 34.7% of total revenue. Four other IPs earned over 1 billion yuan during the period, including "Molly" and "Crybaby", it added. The company now has 571 stores - 40 of which it opened in the first half of this year - as well as 2,597 automated robot shops across 18 countries and regions, it added.

Former Man United star Jesse Lingard scoops first major prize in South Korea - 18 months after making shock move
Former Manchester United player Jesse Lingard has won his first major award since making a shock switch to South Korean side FC Seoul 18 months ago. Lingard, 32, made the surprise move having spent 11 years at Old Trafford after coming through the club's academy. His most recent stint in England came with Nottingham Forest as he made 17 Premier League appearances in the 2022-23 season. After being released, he returned to football by signing for FC Seoul in February 2024 in a transfer that was labelled as the most significant in the K-League's history. Lingard has enjoyed a fine month for his current side, scoring twice in four games to pick up two Man of the Match awards. He also picked up a Player of the Week award to see him earn the accolade as the league's Player of the Month. Lingard has enjoyed a fine month for his current side, scoring twice in four games to pick up two Man of the Match awards It comes after Lingard called out a Manchester United fan on social media earlier this year after he was accused of 'destroying the culture' at the club. 'He was let have his own culture with [Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba] after Sir Alex left.' Meanwhile, Lingard was quick to reply: 'Please explain how me paul and Marcus destroyed Manchester United's culture?' Another fan entered the conversation: 'You made us play well which some dumb b*****ds that 'support' this club don't like because you dance and have fun' However, Lingard defended his position by saying: 'Lool we were just enjoying our life of we played for biggest club in the world of course we made mistakes and we learn but we gonna have fun and smile and dance'. He was often criticised for his performance at Old Trafford, having a turbulent time towards the end of his United career. After initially struggling at Seoul FC, he managed to turn things around and has captained the team on various occasions. He said: 'Coach Kim Gi-dong is someone who has a great understanding of football. He leads the team according to a clear plan. 'The K-League is gathering more fans. I hope that everyone in the football industry, including the coaching staff, players, and front office, will not be satisfied with this atmosphere and continue to move forward.'

Things are getting serious! Jelena Dokic shares a look inside her romantic holiday in Bali with new man Yane
Jelena Dokic and her boyfriend Yane Veselinov are on their first romantic holiday as a couple. The pair, who went Instagram official in recent weeks, have headed off on vacation to Bali together. The former Australian tennis champion was spotted at the airport arriving for the trip on Monday, and on Tuesday shared a glimpse at the getaway with her fans. In the photo, shared to Instagram, the 42-year-old beamed as she posed alongside Yane while they visited some sweet monkeys. 'Two monkeys,' Yane captioned the holiday snap, which Jelena re-shared to her own social media. She also posted several more images from the trip. The sports commentator enjoyed a luxurious lunch in one image, posing in an emerald dress which showcased her recent weight loss. Further images showed Jelena enjoying the natural surroundings, with Yane behind the camera capturing her bliss. The couple went Instagram official, posing together in a loved-up selfie last month. Jelena gushed over her man in the caption, writing: 'You are my calm, safe, peaceful and happy place. So glad I found you.' Little is known about Yane, who is a hospitality operations manager, but his Instagram bio describes him as a 'food and wine enthusiast, pleasure seeker and life enjoyer.' It comes after the pair sparked marriage rumours last month. Jelena sent tongues wagging when she visited a Melbourne bridal store and hinted that 'something special' was coming. 'Something insane coming very soon...,' she gushed in the post alongside images of bridal gowns from bridal boutique Alin Le' Kal. 'Something special in the works with Alin Le' Kal,' she captioned the second image. Lastly, Jelena uploaded a video as she panned the camera to show the entire bridal store. Only weeks earlier, she was spotted cuddling up to a 'mystery man' at Melbourne Airport, who turned out to be Yane. Late last year, Jelena revealed she had been 'closed off' to finding love ever since she split from her long-time Brazilian boyfriend, Tin Bikic. The couple were together for almost 19 years before announcing they had ended their relationship in 2021. Despite saying that her walls have been up ever since, Jelena took to Instagram to make the heartbreaking admission that she's 'scared of being alone' for the rest of her life. 'Love. It's been a challenging personal period. We don't talk about this enough but relationship breakdowns are so tough,' she said alongside a selfie. 'And if you have been the one left hurt or abandoned then let's be honest, it's just life-shattering. And as you get older, it only gets tougher with more scars, pain and hurt. 'My 19-year relationship ended 4 years ago and while we will always care for each other especially because we were together since we were 20, that chapter is over.' Jelena went on to say that she was 'built' to love one person 'unconditionally and so fully that it gets me in trouble'. The Australian tennis commentator said she now has 'a lot of abandonment issues' from her past, which make her 'feel like I will be alone forever'. The former tennis star is riding high after winning her first-ever Logie on Sunday night in the Best Factual or Documentary Program category for her documentary special Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story. Jelena admitted she was in complete shock over the win, confessing she hadn't prepared a speech and had planned to simply 'wing it' if her name was called.
