Sean 'Hongdae Guy' Solo is in Malaysia, invites fans to hang out with him today
Sean Solo (pic), better known online as the 'Hongdae Guy', has touched down in Kuala Lumpur, bringing his infamous catchphrases and comedic flair with him.
He has shared his locations with followers on his Instagram today (July 24) saying that he will be in the "Sunway area" around noon, specifically stating that he will be at Myburgerlab Sunway University Area at 12pm followed by Sunway Pyramid's Oasis area at 2pm.
In a quick video update, he will be shooting content and hanging out around those spots and welcomed followers to come "Say hi and hang out", telling his followers to just come say hi as he would love to meet them.
"I had such a good time in Malaysia today, Kuala Lumpur is awesome, I love it, amazing. The people, food," he said in the clip.
Known for his sharp-witted skits that mock the exaggerated behaviour of certain young men in Seoul's buzzing Hongdae district, Sean has carved a name for himself through his unique comedic style.
With overly expressive gestures and hilariously awkward English, such as 'Do you live alone?' and 'Are you open-minded?', his videos parody the bold, often cringeworthy attempts made by some local men to woo foreign tourists, particularly Western women around the Hongdae nightlife scene.
Hongdae, located near Hongik University in Seoul's Mapo area, is a hotspot for nightlife, street performances and alternative youth culture.
It's a favourite among local students and international visitors alike. Within this energetic setting, the 'Hongdae Guy' persona emerged as a satirical symbol of a certain type of overconfident young man, and Sean's take on it has struck a chord with global audiences.
Earlier this month, Sean teased fans via his Instagram story, announcing his upcoming trip: 'Going to Malaysia 22nd to 25th! Who should I collab with?,' he wrote, hinting at future collaborations and inviting suggestions from his followers.
Sean, also known by his TikTok handle @itsseansolo, helped turn the 'Hongdae guy' stereotype into an international comedy trend. His sketches expose the awkward charm and misplaced confidence of these fictional characters, poking fun while maintaining a light-hearted tone.
As a result, his content has not only gained massive online traction but also made his catchphrases part of global meme culture. – Sinar Daily

Soccer-England women to return home to hero's welcome after Euro 2025 win
Soccer Football - UEFA Women's Euro 2025 - Final - England v Spain - St. Jakob-Park, Basel, Switzerland - July 27, 2025 England's Lauren Hemp celebrates with the trophy after winning the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 REUTERS/Matthew Childs LONDON (Reuters) -The England women's soccer team will return home on Monday to a hero's welcome following their Euro 2025 triumph, with government ministers hosting a reception to mark a victory hailed as an inspiration for young people across the nation. Striker Chloe Kelly fired in the decisive spot-kick as Englandbeat Spain 3-1 in a penalty shootout in Basel on Sunday to win the European Championship, successfully defending the title they won on home soil three years ago. "Our Lionesses are absolute champions and they proved that again last night," said Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, who will host the reception at Downing Street. "Not only are they bringing it home for England again, but they're inspiring the next generation of champions too." Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who will not attend the reception as he is in Scotland to meet U.S. President Donald Trump, called the team's victory an inspiration for the country's youth. Sports Minister Stephanie Peacock, who will be at the Downing Street reception, said England's win "builds brilliantly on the momentum we're creating in women's sport". The team return to England from Switzerland, and will be welcomed at Starmer's official residence in London, joined by ministers and Football Association (FA) representatives. The FA has urged fans to avoid going to the airport due to limited space and instead join Tuesday's homecoming event in central London, which will feature live music and big screens showing tournament highlights. In a video shared on social media on Monday morning, players were seen arriving at their post-match party, celebrating with a glass of wine as cheers erupted around them. "I am so proud of this team. So grateful to wear this badge. So proud to be English," Kelly said. England captain Leah Williamson said she was in total disbelief - yet deep down, she always knew they would bring the trophy home. "Playing for this England team is unbelievable," Williamson said. "You cannot put us down." (Reporting by Catarina Demony, Editing by Ed Osmond)
