Did Michelle Yeoh Confirm BLACKPINK's Lisa & Frederic Arnault's Rumoured Romance?
Rumours surrounding BLACKPINK's LISA's (리사) high-profile relationship have taken the internet by storm, with netizens speculating on the validity. For over a year, the alleged couple have not made it public on their status; however, we might just be catching hints on a big reveal soon. In a recent Instagram post posted on Saturday (26th July 2025), Michelle Yeoh drops a big hint at LISA's relationship to LVMH Watches' CEO, Frédéric Arnault. The picture taken at an event in Paris shows the 62-year-old actress next to Frédéric with her caption, 'Love and congratulations to my dearest Diego, and hope to meet u soon Lisa'. The carousel of pictures posted by Yeoh sparked flurries of comments from netizens as her caption seemingly takes a jab at the couple's relationship. Most netizens show support for the two renowned Asian artists. However, questions remain whether this confirms that their relationship. Instagram user @/lilianquezadac comments, 'When I saw it on the internet, I thought it was an edit.. But now it's real, so does this confirm Lisa and Frederic's relationship?'. Other netizens have also come out to express their dislike over the rumours of LISA's partner, with Instagram user (@/woyoyoursan_) commenting, 'For what? I feel like it's really rude to mention LISA's name when she's not there'. At the same time, LISA has been posting more frequently about her lavish lifestyle, mainly featuring her array of sports cars that have had fans speculating whether it could be sourced from her billionaire boyfriend. Do you think Michelle Yeoh could be confirming the relationship of what would be K-pop's most high-profile couple? Source: Instagram Alyssa Gabrielle contributed to this article

(Video) Colgate Malaysia Teases Collaboration With K-pop Icon IU; Is She Coming To KL?
These brands do love to tease fans when it comes to collaborations with Korean stars – not that we're complaining, of course. Recently, several companies have been teasing their partnerships with idol groups and actors ahead of official announcements to build excitement. These promotions are clearly doing the trick, as fans are almost always able to guess the mystery collaborators based on nothing more than a silhouette. And now, it seems one singer could be making her way to Malaysia very soon. Who is she? Let's find out. Over the weekend, oral hygiene brand Colgate Malaysia posted a video on social media teasing a future collaboration with a K-pop icon. The clip featured a female singer dressed in purple, posing for the cameras with her face obscured, revealing only her smile. 'The queen of K-pop is about to spill her secret beauty hack for a radiant smile 😁✨ Any guesses? Coming your way soon. Stay tuned!' the brand wrote in the captions. If the smile wasn't already a clear giveaway, the hint 'Queen of K-pop' certainly is, as there's only one person known by that title. As expected, fans flocked to the comments section to share their guesses, but the majority had one name in mind: none other than IU (아이유). Not only is she celebrated as a gifted singer-songwriter, but she's also an accomplished actress, having recently won Best Actress at the Blue Dragon Series Awards and Baeksang Arts Awards for her role in 'When Life Gives You Tangerines'. While Colgate Malaysia's teaser is certainly exciting, there has been no confirmation or indication, at the time of writing, that IU will be making a special appearance in Malaysia. Still, that hasn't stopped fans from urging the brand to invite the icon back to Malaysia for an event. The last time IU was here, she performed at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil back in 2024 and even handed out snacks to fans upon her arrival at KLIA. We personally would love to see IU again, but for now, we'll have to wait for the official announcements for more details about this collaboration. Watch the teaser below: Source: Instagram

Indie vibes take centre stage in KromaKuning's Sarawak Day tribute in Kuching
The 'KHEMAH I.N.D.I.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.C.E DAY' programme brought together local creatives in a night of music, expression, and community spirit. KUCHING (July 28): Over 50 people gathered at Khemah Café, Jalan Dagok Timur here to celebrate this year's Sarawak Day in an alternative and independent spirit. Themed 'KHEMAH I.N.D.I.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.C.E DAY', the programme was jointly organised by KolabBasi: Kumpulan Tidak Konsistan (KromaKuning) and Khemah Café, spotlighting the independent music scene and alternative artistic expression, offering a grassroots platform for the local voices. 'We built this event with the true spirit of independence; not just nostalgia, but the freedom to be yourself, to speak out, and to feel accepted without having to follow industry formulas. 'And most importantly, we did this with our own hands, for ourselves,' a KromaKuning spokesperson told The Borneo Post. The night featured performances by five independent acts, starting with a soulful R&B showcase by Dayangmu. Coming up next was Lydbie, who delivered introspective, melancholic pieces that resonated with the audience. Akmal Kamisly followed up with a solo set before being joined by Dayangmu for a duet. Wan Purong added humour and interactive energy to the evening, while Adruce Azman closed the event with a series of original songs that blended folk and jazz. His set began with a heartfelt rendition of 'Ibu Pertiwiku', paying tribute to Sarawak Day. Beyond the music, the event also included a digital campaign titled 'Follow & Freebie', which boosted online engagements. Attendees who followed the organisers' Instagram accounts (@kromakuning and @ received exclusive merchandise items, including limited edition stickers and customised design pieces. Those dressed in a 'camping vibes' theme received special drink promotions, further enhancing the laid-back and free-spirited atmosphere. 'This event is not just entertainment, but a manifestation of alternative voices that rarely find space in the mainstream. 'Through an open and community-driven format, we've created space for new talent to shine,' added the KromaKuning spokesperson. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many describing it as 'a fresh breeze' in the Sarawak Day celebration scene. KromaKuning expressed hope of making the camp-themed gathering an annual event, continuing the open mic sessions and alternative art programmes. 'We would also welcome collaborations with other groups in promoting independent culture and community arts,' said the spokesperson. KolabBasi is an independent art collective led by KromaKuning, engaging Sarawakians in music, visual arts, writing, and community activism. Known as the Kumpulan Tidak Konsistan, the group operates informally but consistently to champion a space for alternative expression in Borneo. Khemah Café, known for its tropical camping-themed décor, continues to serve as a hub for creative gatherings, including photo exhibitions, poetry readings, book discussions, and acoustic shows.
