The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 episode 3 sparks memefest over Belly's engagement tiny ring; Conrad's reaction is now viral
The much-anticipated third episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 dropped today (July 23) on Prime Video, following last week's two-episode premiere. Fans had been waiting for this one, and for good reason. It marked the first time Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Christopher Briney) shared a real scene this season that wasn't just a flashback. But what could've been a heartfelt Bonrad moment quickly turned into a meme-worthy disaster when Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) pulled out a proposal ring so tiny, you'd need a microscope to spot the diamond. And no, that's not an exaggeration. The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Episode 3: Quick Recap Belly and Jeremiah are officially engaged. While he popped the question at the end of episode 2, it's in episode 3 that we finally see the ring—and let's just say, fans were not ready. Belly's junior year has wrapped, Jeremiah's still stuck in his super senior era, and Conrad? Still pining... and currently jobless. Meanwhile, Steven and Taylor are hitting a rough patch of their own. The big engagement reveal happens at a family dinner following a memorial for Susannah. When Laurel, Belly's mom, assumes they're joking, Belly sharply pulls the ring from her pocket and slides it on with full dramatic flair. It was supposed to be a powerful moment, but the internet couldn't get past that ring. If you've read Jenny Han's books, you'd know the ring is described as tiny… but nothing prepared fans for how hilariously underwhelming it would look onscreen. Belly's ring sparks a social media memefest The internet has pretty much unanimously crowned this the first filler episode of the season, with many calling it painfully slow in terms of plot progression. But if there's one thing that saved the episode from total snoozefest status, it's Belly's engagement ring. The storyline may have stalled, but that tiny ring sparked a wave of memes that had social media in stitches. One X user wrote, "Belly says she wishes she could wear the ring now. Mind you, she could, and nobody would notice." belly saying she wish she could wear the ring now mind u she could and nobody would notice "Belly girl, what are you even trying to show off here, like... is the engagement ring in the room with us?" another user mentioned, referring to the scene where Belly tried to show off her ring. belly girl what are you even trying to show off here like .. is the engagement ring in the room with us? "I've seen promise rings bigger than Belly's engagement ring," added one user. i've seen promise rings bigger than belly's engagement ring "I don't see the couple Jeremiah and Belly as an endgame in this series, Tsip, unless they become more mature together at the end of the series. They're missing something. Now... what's that mosquito-sized engagement ring, please??? It's embarrassing," wrote one individual. I don't see the couple Jeremiah and Belly as an endgame in this series Tsip unless they become more mature together at the end of the series.

Episode 4 of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is setting the stage for a full-on clash between Belly and her mom. Will Laurel manage to snap her out of it, or is Belly too far gone? Find out when the next episode drops on July 30 on Prime Video.

Although BTS are currently off-stage, their name continues to be entangled in K-pop controversies. This time, the focus is on 'Boys Planet II' trainee Peng Jin Yu. He has come under fire for performing Jungkook's hit song 'Seven', despite a resurfaced history of making disparaging remarks about BTS and other discovered old Weibo posts allegedly showing Peng criticising Jungkook, as well as members of TWICE and June 12, Peng was introduced as an independent contestant on Mnet's 'Boys Planet II'. But rather than generating excitement, his appearance prompted immediate backlash. Alongside clips of his audition and performances, screenshots of previous social media activity began circulating. It revealed a pattern of hate-filled posts, particularly directed at Jungkook and female idols from TWICE and Aespa. (Credit: X/mhereonlyforbts) What further angered fans was Peng's reputation as a dedicated BLACKPINK supporter, or BLINK. While being a fan isn't inherently problematic, accusations have surfaced that Peng used his fan account to share anti-BTS content during periods of heightened BLINK vs. ARMY the posts was one allegedly comparing Aespa members to dogs, and another mocking TWICE's Tzuyu over the Taiwan flag incident, labelling the group as pro-Taiwan backlash was swift.

Saiyaara proves star kids don't need hype, just a good film and a killer soundtrack
The film relied on one star—the music. Suri, known for his films Zeher (2005), Woh Lamhe (2006), and Aashiqui 2 (2013), has let his films' music do the talking. Each of these films had a breakout song that pushed the film to audiences. Be it ' Woh Lamhe' from Zeher to ' Kya Mujhe Pyar Hai' of Woh Lamhe and ' Tum Hi Ho' from Aashiqui 2 , Suri's films capture the mood of heartbreak like no other in their album. The star-crossed lovers, the looming tragedy, and the music have all been done before by Suri. Gen Z has now succumbed to what was millennial 'poison'. The film's unprecedented opening even had Ajay Devgn scramble to postpone the release of his film Son of Sardaar 2 from 25 July to 1 August. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is a lesson in successfully launching new actors. The film did not hold press conferences, 'exclusive' interviews, or have its lead pair jet-setting across cities to interact with crowds. Instead, it opted for radio silence. It banked on the release alone. The movie had a box office opening of Rs 21.5 crore , and has now crossed the 100-crore mark before completing the first week of its release. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda stole the thunder when it came to making a memorable big-screen debut. Learning from others' mistakes While most star kids were launched with an overdose of PR appearances, from doing a hook step of their movie's title track to being part of creators' videos, Saiyaara's lead cast was conspicuous through their absence from social media. The PR team clearly decided to learn from others' mistakes. Ahaan Panday had a blink-and-miss appearance in his sister Alanna's wedding and was absent from her Prime Video show, The Tribe (2024). In contrast, his cousin Ananya Panday was everywhere before and during her debut in Student of the Year 2 (2019). Her social media already had a massive follower count, and she was seen rubbing shoulders with the who's who of Bollywood. More recently, massive social media hype was built before Ibrahim Ali Khan made his debut with Nadaaniyan (2025). In 2023, content related to The Archies (2023) was all anyone could spot on social media before it launched Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Agastya Nanda. Both films not only failed spectacularly, but also inspired memes that were more memorable than their debuts. Junaid Khan, whose debut film Maharaj (2024) failed to make much impact except for a court case filed against it, tried the PR hype with his romantic film Loveyapa (2025) with Khushi Kapoor. After their respective disastrous debuts, both Kapoor and Khan were given a makeover of sorts and went on every conceivable platform doing the hook step of the film's title track. What it actually led to was a slew of parody videos, making fun of how uncomfortable the duo looked selling their film to audiences. When placed in this context, Ahaan and Aneet appeared refreshingly unknown, and made an impact as the characters they play—the 'troubled' rockstar and his demure, writer girlfriend. People have sobbed, whistled, and clapped to the two actors' performances in packed theatres. Also read: Is reading news destroying your femininity? Instagram reels say so Rise of new icons The PR machinery started its work after the movie's release. Ahaan and Aneet are being given the monikers of national crush and heartthrob. Reviews may say they need to do more work on their craft, but they are Gen Z icons already. Social media posts with Aneet's old ads to clips of Ahaan at some family function, and childhood photos are circulating online, adding fuel to the box office dominance. The only pre-release hype was when Suri went on to say in an interview that Saiyaara was originally meant to be Aashiqui 3, the sequel to his hit tearjerker Aashiqui 2. The title song did the rest of the work as Irshad Kamil's songwriting made its way into Instagram, and broken-hearted lovers used it as their audio for both reels and posts. Soon, the trailer was released and the audience had fallen hook, line, and sinker. The packed theatres were inevitable. It really is less is more at play, and other PR teams should take detailed notes. Views are personal. (Edited by Ratan Priya)
