BOYNEXTDOOR faces backlash over 'meet & greet' that lacked both meeting and greeting
The BOYNEXTDOOR fans were disappointed when their 'meet & greet' during the KNOCK ON Vol.1 concert on July 25, 2025 (KST), didn't meet expectations. Who would've thought that a paid meet and greet would only result in a meet? Furthermore, fans paid an extra ₩44,000 KRW (about $31.80 USD) only to receive no meeting and no greeting with any of the group members. Recently shared videos on social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), captured exactly how underwhelming the meet and greet was for fans. Rather than the members greeting their fans, videos captured them walking—or in this case, rushing—to a line of fans for the so-called 'meet and greet.' The 'interaction,' as it's called, lasted no longer than 5 seconds, leaving attendees confused and frustrated. The entire scenario was so absurd that one fan tweeted, 'I literally pulled out my IV and left the hospital just for today's meet-and-greet. So, yeah. I feel seriously betrayed… Of course, it's not their fault. But still, others shared their experience as well; however, many of them agreed with the thought that while they do not blame the 'meet and greet' on the members, the overall arrangement and lack of fan engagement were very disappointing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Luxury 3 & 4 BHK @₹3.51 Cr*+ Yeshwantpur Godrej Tiara Book Now Undo Criticism went further than just the attendees. People on the internet voiced their frustrations regarding the phenomenon of sponsored fan meetings that don't seem to offer any real engagement. Reactions included, 'Why are they rushing past like that? ' and, 'What even is this… Do idol companies just think fans' money is a joke? ' Others observed how such meetings pale in contrast to those given by other groups, who provide handshakes, brief discussions, or even hugs during similar fan meetings. 'They could've at least pretended to walk sideways, facing toward the fans… But they just looked straight ahead and rushed through full speed,' one fan stated. This is not the very first time BOYNEXTDOOR, handled by KOZ Entertainment (a HYBE subsidiary), has faced complaints over fan service. Regardless of their rising popularity and hit tracks, constant negative experiences of fans could harm their public profile. Fans wish this reaction becomes a wake-up call—not just for BOYNEXTDOOR but for the broader K-pop industry—to bring back meaning to the term 'meet & greet.' Honoring the bond between idols and fans can only lead to deeper devotion, confidence, and a successful future.

Too hot to handle! Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson fuel dating rumours with their cute banter
Oh we're shipping it! Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson's chemistry is too cute to ignore!(Photos: X) Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson are making the cutest pair as they fly through promotions and press for their upcoming release, The Naked Gun. Now while neither have actually commented on the elephant in the room, their relationship status, real or not, is definitely inching towards a label as far as the Internet is concerned. And to be honest, their bubbly, coy chemistry is a dead giveaway. During a chat with Entertainment Tonight Liam, 73, jumped right into the kind of energy he believes he shares with co-star Pamela, 58. 'I think we have a lovely, unique chemistry', he said to which Pamela quipped, albeit sultrily, 'We have a chemistry'. Ok then! Period. They do. Brushing his hand on hers Liam was very prompt to agree, correcting himself: 'I'm sorry, you're right', he said, adding, 'We didn't analyse it, or put it under a microscope. (We were like) 'Ok, it's working' '. Liam, partly owing to his action packed, rescue-heavy filmography and partly due to that towering aura, has always been better known as stoic and serious as opposed to the fun and funny side of him now coming to the surface. So when asked what else might the audience not know about him in Pamela's gauge of his public persona, she huffed, 'He's silly. Definitely has that little boy sense of humour. (He's) funny'. 'Disgusting', Liam added jokingly, to which Pamela exclaimed, 'No! What!'. The Naked Gun is the fourth film in the Police Squad! franchise, the first of which came out in 1982. This was followed by The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear which came out in 1991. The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult released in 1994 with the fourth instalment rolling in just shy of the franchise's 30-year anniversary. The 2025 update is eyeing an August 1 release.

Meet actress who started her career with Mahesh Babu at 24, played a surrogate mom at 31, is a National Award winner, her name is....
Before the lights, fame, and awards, Kriti Sanon stood teary-eyed in the middle of a ramp walk, humiliated, shaken, but quietly determined to rise. Today, she's a celebrated actor, a National Award winner, and a rising force in Bollywood, but her journey wasn't all red carpets and spotlights. From a middle-class dreamer to the big screen Born on July 27, 1990, into a humble middle-class family, her father a chartered accountant, her mother a professor, Kriti always dreamed of cinema. She started her film journey in 2014 opposite Mahesh Babu in the Telugu film 1: Nenokkadine, which earned her praise and set her path toward Bollywood. That same year, she made her Hindi debut with Heropanti, co-starring Tiger Shroff. The audience noticed her, and soon, so did the industry. But success didn't come without scars In an early modelling assignment at a farmhouse, Kriti's heel sank into wet soil mid-ramp walk. What followed was a public scolding by her choreographer in front of a crowd. 'I felt humiliated… I cried right there,' she shared in an interview. But instead of breaking her, the moment pushed her harder. 'It made me more focused,' she recalled. 'Mimi' changed everything Though films like Dilwale, Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi, and Raabta built her reputation, it was Mimi (2021), where she played a surrogate mother, that earned Kriti her first National Film Award. Her portrayal was powerful, emotional, and career-defining. Where is she now? At 35, Kriti has worked with some of the industry's biggest names and even turned producer with her upcoming film Do Patti. She's starred in Adipurush, Bhediya, Ganapath, Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, and Shehzada, proving her versatility and command over the screen.
