Korean Actor Hwang In-youp To Hold Private Meet & Greet Event In Penang This September
It has been announced that another Korean actor will be visiting a state on the north‑west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Here's what we know so far about actor Hwang In‑youp (황인엽)'s upcoming event:
Over the weekend, food brand Nuuna Malaysia teased fans with a post across all its social media platforms, hinting that a famous Korean actor will be making a special appearance very soon. As with previous teasers, the post featured a silhouette of a male star, prompting many to share their guesses in the comments section.
Yesterday (Monday, 21st July), it was officially revealed that Hwang In‑youp will be coming to Malaysia for a special private meet‑and‑greet event in Penang. While full details have yet to be released, the brand did confirm the following so far:
Date: 6th September 2025 (Saturday)
6th September 2025 (Saturday) Time: 5pm
5pm Venue: TBA
Judging by the poster, it's clear that there will be a contest for fans to enter in order to win passes to the meet‑and‑greet event. But that's not all. On the same day, ecoBrown also shared the same silhouette teaser, announcing that a famous Korean actor will be making an appearance the same day as Nuuna Malaysia's event. While it's widely assumed that the mystery star is Hwang In‑youp, it remains unclear whether that particular event will also take place in the same venue.
We'll have to wait for the official announcement to find out. However, based on previous events, it's likely that this upcoming one will be open to the public, with a few lucky winners given the chance to take photos with the actor on stage.

Widower visits Barbie Hsu's grave every day
KOREAN DJ Koo Jun-yup is still mourning the passing of his wife, actress and singer Barbie Hsu, China Press reported. He was seen visiting her grave every day, come rain or shine, in New Taipei. One fan who visited the cemetery to place flowers on Hsu's gravestone spotted Koo sitting there alone. 'I saw a man sitting in the middle of the cemetery. As I got closer, I saw that it was him,' the fan said. In a photo uploaded by the fan, Koo is seen wearing a black tank top and baseball cap as he stares at Hsu's gravestone. When the fan moved closer, Koo smiled and thanked them for coming. The photo later went viral, with many Internet users calling Koo 'the most devoted man on earth' and some saying that it moved them to tears. 'I hope he can recover from his heartache someday,' one netizen wrote. It was reported that Hsu was married to Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei, but they divorced in November 2021 after 10 years of marriage. Just four months after the divorce, Hsu shocked the public by marrying Koo, whom she had dated some two decades prior. However, only three years after their marriage, Hsu died of pneumonia on Feb 2 this year during her Chinese New Year vacation with Koo in Japan. > A woman in China's Shanxi province sparked a discussion on domestic violence after she killed her boyfriend by smashing his head into a wall, Sin Chew Daily reported.
