K-POP Meets Web3: StarGlow Launches to Redefine Fan and Artist Connections
The world of K-POP is about to experience a seismic shift. RedSlippers, South Korea's trailblazing entertainment-tech company, proudly announces the official launch of StarGlow (STARGLOW) — the next-generation Web3 platform that is redefining the relationship between fans and artists, and turning fandom into a real investment opportunity.
Transforming Fans into Stakeholders
For too long, K-POP fans have been passionate supporters, but rarely true participants in the growth of their favorite artists. StarGlow is changing that narrative. By fusing cutting-edge AI artist valuation with secure blockchain technology, StarGlow empowers fans to become investors, managers, and co-producers — not just admirers.
Direct Investment: Fans can now invest in artist IPs, influencing the trajectory of rising stars and established icons alike.
Transparent Participation: Every action — from voting to completing quests — is rewarded with STARGLOW tokens, making every moment of engagement meaningful.
Exclusive Access: Tokens unlock a world of artist merchandise, concert tickets, private content, and more.
A Platform Built on Scale, Experience, and Trust
StarGlow isn't just another fan platform — it's a global movement. With a foundation built on six years of industry leadership, RedSlippers has produced over 4,000 live performances and assembled Korea's largest K-POP behavioral database. The platform is launching with over 3,000 artist profiles and 15 major IP partners, each boasting hundreds of thousands to millions of followers. Backed by Korea's Most Trusted Institutions
StarGlow's vision is validated by strategic partnerships with some of Korea's most respected public and financial organizations:
These alliances ensure that StarGlow operates on a foundation of trust, compliance, and real-world value.
StarGlow is pioneering the application of Real World Assets (RWA) in entertainment. Through NFT purchases, fans can now participate in actual artist revenue streams, transforming digital collectibles into tangible financial opportunities. This innovative model merges the decentralized power of Web3 with the global reach of K-POP, creating a new paradigm in entertainment finance.
Building the Future of Human Capital Investment
StarGlow's ambitions don't stop at K-POP. The platform's next phase will open up investment in creators, athletes, and artists across diverse fields — forging a Web3-powered ecosystem where fandom becomes partnership, and passion translates into shared growth and value.
What's Next for StarGlow?
NFTs and the STORE will go live in August, offering new ways for fans to engage and invest.
Airdrop and token reward events are now underway for early adopters.

This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream your skin will be SO happy to soak up — this is formulated with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil to help hydrate, tighten, and gently exfoliate your skin so effectively that you should be able to see early results in two weeks.

A lot of people note that this used to be easy to find in stores, but most stopped stocking it — enter the internet, here to save the day! Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes.

A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles, and longer ones that are 10 times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! A set of super affordable hydrocolloid nose pore patches (compare to the $16 Mighty Patch equivalent) that will make you go "boy HOWDY" when you see how much gunk collects on them overnight.

First Aid Beauty's Facial Radiance Pads, a set of compostable (!!) beauty prep pads you can use before putting on makeup to gently tone and exfoliate your skin, making it the ultimate primer for getting the most out of your foundation. Bonus — unlike a lot of toning products, these are super gentle and sensitive skin–friendly! A hair identifier spray to make shaving or dermaplaning *that* much more efficient — this not only highlights where your hair is so you don't miss a spot, but also moisturizes and protects skin while you're shaving. This is also a great way to ensure you aren't *over*-shaving areas, since you'll know right away if the hair is taken care of! L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed.

Why Microsoft (MSFT) Stock Is Up Today
What Happened? Shares of tech giant Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) jumped 4.5% in the afternoon session after the company reported impressive fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst expectations, fueled by significant growth in its cloud and artificial intelligence divisions. The tech giant's Intelligent Cloud segment saw revenue increase by 26% to $29.8 billion, with its Azure cloud platform leading the charge. Management highlighted strong customer adoption of AI-powered services. Notably, Microsoft revealed that Azure and its associated cloud services brought in over $75 billion in the past fiscal year, marking a 34% increase from the previous year. In a clear indication of its commitment to AI, Microsoft announced plans to invest over $30 billion in capital expenditure in the next quarter alone to enhance its AI infrastructure. Overall, this was an impressive quarter. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $536.42, up 4.4% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Microsoft? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Microsoft's shares are not very volatile and have only had 4 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 3 months ago when the stock gained 10.4% on the news that the company reported strong first-quarter 2025 results, with revenue and operating income both beating Wall Street estimates, driven by surging demand for cloud and AI services, signaling resilient enterprise spend amid broader tech budget scrutiny. Sales rose 13%, supported by broad-based strength across all business segments. While Productivity and Business Processes grew 10% and More Personal Computing rose 6%, the standout performance in Azure tipped the scales, thanks to increased customer adoption of AI workloads and infrastructure. The bottom line was equally strong. Operating income climbed 16%, outpacing revenue growth, with operating margins expanding across all three segments. This margin strength helped boost net income, pushing earnings past analysts' estimates. Overall, this was a solid quarter with key areas of upside. Microsoft is up 28.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $536.42 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Microsoft's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,616. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
