Hype Malaysia18-07-2025
It's been approximately 10 months since beloved singer and INFINITE (인피니트) member Nam Woo-hyun (남우현) released his solo track 'Boyfriend', and fans have been eagerly anticipating his return to the stage. Now, with the announcement of his upcoming comeback tour, 'Tree High School' kicking off this October, excitement is reaching new heights.
The news has reignited anticipation among WHITREEs (Woohyun's fanclub), who have been waiting to see what Woohyun has in store next. As one of K-pop's most emotionally expressive vocalists, his return promises not only powerful performances but also a reconnection with fans who have stood by him through every era of his solo journey.
Since the official announcement of his upcoming album 'Tree Ring' on 6th July (Sunday), Nam Woo-hyun has been steadily building excitement by sharing a series of concept images on his official social media channels. Fans have eagerly been counting down the days until 30th July (Wednesday), the highly anticipated release date, wondering what fresh sounds and stories Woohyun has prepared this time.
Among the concept images released so far, the fifth instalment stands out with a noticeably edgier vibe, showcasing a 'Bad Boy' energy that contrasts with the softer, more introspective tones of the earlier photos. This shift has sparked even more curiosity about the album's overall concept and the musical direction Woohyun is exploring.
In addition to his latest posts, the solo artist is keeping fans hooked by sharing a short clip of himself covering the popular 'Soda Pop' dance from SONY's 'K-pop Demon Hunters'. The dance, well-loved by fans, showcased a fun and lighthearted side of the singer, offering a refreshing break from the intense anticipation surrounding his comeback.
He wore the same outfit featured in many of his concert promo posters, tying the playful moment back to his upcoming performances. This sneak peek added an extra layer of excitement as fans eagerly await what's next from Woohyun, with many speculating that his upcoming shows will blend both his dynamic stage presence and charming personality in new and unexpected ways.
Here is the viral clip of him partaking in the 'Soda Pop' trend:

#SHOWBIZ: Cha Eun-woo covers Demon Hunters song 'Free' with movie's lead actress

SEOUL: The wait is over for fans eager to hear the collaboration between South Korean singer-actor Cha Eun-woo and American actress Arden Cho. On July 27, Netflix released a video of their duet for the song 'Free' from the streaming platform's hit animated movie 'KPop Demon Hunters' (2025). The film follows the members of Huntrix, a fictional K-pop girl group, as they battle to save the world from soul-stealing demons, all while competing with Saja Boys, a fictional K-pop boy band from the demon world. "This cover of Free by Huntrix has officially pierced my heart," Netflix posted on Instagram, extending thanks to the two stars. In the film, the romantic ballad is sung by the characters Rumi, the leader and lead vocalist of Huntrix, and Jinu, the leader of Saja Boys. Cho, best known for her roles in the American supernatural series 'Teen Wolf' (2011 to 2017) and the legal drama 'Partner Track' (2022), voices Rumi, with Korean-American singer Ejae providing the character's singing voice. Jinu is voiced by Canadian actor Ahn Hyo-seop, and South Korean singer Andrew Choi provides his singing voice. K-drama idol Cha was reportedly the inspiration behind Jinu. Cho, 39, also posted a video on her Instagram and YouTube channel on July 26, showing her chatting with Cha, 28 – a member of K-pop boy band Astro – about their duet. He is set to begin his mandatory military service on July 28. "I'm here with one of my awesome 'dongsaeng' (Korean for younger sibling or friend)," she said. Cha mentioned they were introduced about five years ago by a South Korean producer who worked on some of his shows. He has starred in K-dramas such as 'My ID Is Gangnam Beauty' (2018), 'Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung' (2019), and 'True Beauty' (2020 to 2021). "When I was in America, she introduced me to a lot of cafés and restaurants," Cha said of Cho. Cho remarked that Cha resembles Jinu, adding: "And I thought it'd be really fun and special if we did a collaboration." Cha also said that Cho resembles Rumi, a sentiment shared by many of his celebrity friends in South Korea. "We were texting about 'KPop Demon Hunters', and when we were talking about the movie, I mentioned I was coming to Korea to do some press," Cho explained. "We were like, wouldn't it be fun if we covered it?" Cha stated he loves all the songs from the movie, especially 'Free'. Cho added that her fiancé is a huge fan of Cha's. She announced her engagement on social media in April without revealing his name.

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
