SEVENTEEN's Joshua, DK and Dino confirm Malaysia visit in Mister Potato collab
The trio revealed the news themselves in a behind-the-scenes vlog posted on Youtube yesterday, where they were seen filming promotional content for snack brand Mister Potato's new Jinjja Crunch campaign.
'We have exciting news for you guys. We love you, Mister Potato! See you in Malaysia!' the members said in the video.
While Mister Potato — a brand under Malaysian food company Mamee-Double Decker — has yet to release official event details, the collaboration featuring the idols and three snack flavours was announced last week.
The visit was first hinted at when Mamee-Double Decker Group CEO Pierre Pang shared a teaser on Instagram earlier this month.

No (fake) labubu for you!: Shanghai police bust gang selling counterfeit Labubu toys
SHANGHAI, July 30 — Police in Shanghai busted a gang making and selling fake Labubus this month, detaining eight people and 5,000 counterfeit toys worth US$1.7 million (RM7.2 million), local state-owned media reported. Made by Beijing-based toymaker Pop Mart, Labubu dolls have become a must-have item internationally, adorning the handbags of celebrities such as Rihanna and Dua Lipa. The furry, fanged creatures, which typically sell for around $40, are released in limited quantities and have caused frenzies at stores around the world. Knock-offs—many of which are also made in China—have flooded online platforms, dubbed 'Lafufus' by social media users. The Shanghai bust in early July uncovered 12-million-yuan (RM7.09 million) worth of fake Pop Mart toys, state-run Shanghai Daily reported late yesterday. Pop Mart notified police when a customer reported that one purchased online was in fact fake. This led to the discovery of an online store that sold fans, speakers and gaming consoles—but was also a front for selling the counterfeits. Police raided a warehouse, detaining eight people and the 5,000 toys, complete with forged trademarks and fake anti-counterfeit stickers, the report said. It is not the first time the fluffy monsters have been associated with crime. In Singapore, CCTV footage captured a family stealing Labubu dolls from a claw machine last year, according to online media outlet AsiaOne. And in June, burglars broke into a store in California and took several Labubu dolls along with electronics and other valuables, US news outlet ABC reported. — AFP

From Silly Hats To Bicep Touching: Things That Went Viral During SEVENTEEN's Recent Fansign
Fansigns are essentially another form of meet-and-greet event, where fans have the chance to see and interact with their favourite idols up close. These events often lead to many memorable moments and sometimes viral content. K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) recently held a fansign event in Shanghai, where fans had the opportunity not only to receive autographs from the members, but also to present them with quirky items to try on and pose with. Here are some of the highlights that went viral: Vernon in silly hats & costumes It's not unusual for fans to gift their idols with quirky and adorable headpieces to wear during such events. However, for some reason, many seemed to have the same idea when it came to gifting Vernon (버논) with hats. The idol was seen wearing a variety of items, including a Statue of Liberty headpiece, a rooster hat, a monocle, Hello Kitty ears and fox ears. He was even spotted trying on costumes such as an apron and a bulletproof vest. Fans were amused by his reactions and how he looked in these quirky outfits, with photos of him quickly going viral on social media. Some even began to wonder whether a single individual was behind all the amusing costume gifts. Fanboy touching Mingyu's muscles When it comes to male idol groups, the majority of fans are understandably female, but there's also a notable number of male fans. One such fan made all the girls jealous when he met Mingyu (민규) in person. During a fansign event, he asked if he could touch the idol's biceps, and Mingyu happily obliged. Many took to Twitter to express their envy, wishing they had either the same opportunity or the courage to ask, like the fanboy did. Of course, there were a few more memorable moments during the fansign, but these two garnered the most attention on social media. Which was your favourite part of the recent fansign?
