SEVENTEEN's Mingyu, TXT's Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu and Taehyun channel boyish charm in Dior outfits, PICS
The 2025 Menswear Paris Fashion Week is in full swing and K-pop stars could not be left behind. June 27 saw luxury menswear brand Dior open up its doors for some fun and adaptive clothing, with Korean stars from the groups SEVENTEEN and TOMORROW X TOGETHER marking their attendance. Dressed in business casual fits, they graced the event, which also saw attendance from the likes of industry biggies like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Mile Phakphum Romsaithong and Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat, Josh O'Connor, Li Yunrui, Pharrell Williams, Mia Goth, and Daniel Craig.
Mingyu's look for the 2025 Paris Fashion Week
Framing his 188 cm (6'2') frame in a monochromatic look, the SEVENTEEN member slipped into a white shirt and white shorts combo accentuated by a stunning brown belt. His footwear matched his fit, as the singer exchanged flirty gazes with fans on the way in. Lightly tousled brown hair resting comfortably on top of his head, Mingyu seems to have taken the theme to heart with a laid-back appearance.

4th Generation IT boy group, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, showcased a large spectrum of accessorised looks with bags and jackets adding more drama to their serious expressions on the carpet. Multiple pops of colors could be noted in their fits as the group seems to have assembled with business in mind. Youngest star of the team, Huening Kai, was nowhere to be seen as he was previously noted taking on another overseas event instead of this, carrying on his team's name far and wide.
The members were spotted exchanging chatter with 007 himself, opening up to Daniel Craig about their upcoming album and overall being an adorable bunch at the gig. This year's looks from the ready-to-wear Spring-Summer 2026 collection were right on brand and very acceptable, and we're expecting to see them around the blocks soon!

Squid Game 3's most hated character is, surprisingly, a beloved K-drama star no one expected: ‘Worst in history'
If there was one character fans had hoped would take a transformational turn, it was player 333, who many believed would be the game-changer and join forces with Gi Hun to flip the system. Turns out he did change, but in the worst possible direction. Im Si Wan's character has now surpassed every level of hate in viewers' minds, overtaking even the previous betrayers. Fans are frustrated, especially since the show's tagline, 'how low humanity can sink', seems to have been written just for this character, someone who was ready to kill his own child for prize money, right after his ex jumped to her death, disgusted by him. Im Si Wan, with his series of selfish, manipulative, and downright ruthless actions through the game, has easily become the most frustrating part of the entire season. But his Squid Game role also marks a major shift in his career, where until now, he had mostly ridden on the fame of playing good-boy roles in K-dramas. He's known for portraying kind, warm-hearted characters, barely speaking yet managing to express layers of emotion, which even earned him the nickname Mal Nun Gwang ('innocent-eyed lunatic'). So, for a section of fans, it was tough to watch him play villain. Especially the moment he tried to kill his own baby, that, for many viewers, was the final straw.

'The fallout of Seong Gi Hun's plan was devastating. The final games are more brutal than ever. Some of our favourite characters give in to their most animalistic, violent instincts. No one's safe,' another wrote. 'I have never hated a character in my entire life as much as player 333. He disgusted me. Sorry, I'm Si Wan—you weren't meant for this role,' said a third. #SquidGame3 #player333 Bro literally surpassed every existing character to become the worst character in the history of squid game. — Ruhiiii💫 (@ruhipreeran) June 27, 2025 Crypto Scam Background: Im Si Wan joined Squid Game in Season 2, and his character was introduced as a former YouTuber who used to scam the public with his crypto game. This was the reason why, in the first place, his girlfriend Jun Hee (Player 222) and Thanos (Player 230) lost a massive amount of money and ended up in the game. In the second season, Jun Hee got pregnant, with Myung Gi vowing to protect both. Murder of Hyun Ju (Player 120) In Season 3, Jun Hee was left disgusted and lost all faith in Myung Gi after he killed Hyun Ju in the hide-and-seek game. Hyun Ju had helped Jun Hee deliver the baby with elderly lady Geum Jaa, but was met with a tragic and betrayed end. Myung Gi's action was seen as cold-blooded and opportunistic, eliminating a strong character. Also read: Squid Game Season 3 ending explained: The truth about Gi Hun's fate, the mystery woman, and all survivors Following Hyun Ju's death, Myung Gi showed little to no remorse. He did the same when Jun Hee jumped to her death while trying to save Gi Hun and the baby. In the last game, when only Gi Hun, the baby, and Myung Gi were left, Myung Gi, despite being the baby's biological father, was ready to throw the baby off the platform just to ensure his win. This act sealed his status as truly deplorable. Though many were left disappointed by how the show ended, hoping for a happy closure, some believe it stayed true to its theme, raw and unsettling in the best way. The show has always focused on extreme capitalism and how it strips away human values, turning people into commodities for the rich to enjoy their misery. Gi-hun's final sacrifice — choosing to die to save the baby (Player 222), became the ultimate act of defiance against this system. His last words, 'We are not horses. We are humans. Humans are…' were aimed directly at the VIPs who saw the players as nothing more than toys for their amusement.

Prada reps kolhapuri chappals: Grace is always in vogue
Long before it gave its name to one of the most iconic patterns in fashion, Paisley was just another Scottish town. Its star rose in the 19th century, when it became so well-known for its imitation Kashmiri shawls that the shawls' traditional 'buta' pattern was soon named 'paisley'. This erasure of the pattern's origin, removing it from the specific cultural context in which it was first created — the 'buta' is said to be inspired by the shape of either a pinecone or mango — makes it an early instance of cultural appropriation. But is this also what is happening with the footwear — strongly resembling Kolhapuri chappals — that the Italian fashion house Prada featured as part of its Spring-Summer 2026 collection this week? In its show notes, Prada described the footwear as 'leather sandals', with no reference to an Indian connection. This has infuriated many in India's fashion community as well as traditional makers of Kolhapuri chappals. The history of fashion, of course, is one of crosscurrents and confluences, with textiles, motifs and styles passing from region to region, and wardrobe staples in one place inspiring luxury creations in another. But fashion labels in the West have a history of appropriating and flattening different cultures — often tipping over into controversy, such as when Gucci sent out models wearing Sikh-style turbans in 2016. This understandably leads to wariness among designers and craftspeople in the Global South. Change, however, is already underway, with labels like Dior and Louboutin starting to look for collaborators, not just ideas, in other cultures — the former worked with Mumbai's Chanakya School of Craft for its pre-fall 2023 line, while the latter teamed up with designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee for a capsule collection in 2017. With Prada yet to make the details of its latest collection public, it still has the chance to give credit where it's due. Grace, after all, is one of those things that never go out of style.

Squid Game 3 ending: 7 burning questions answered in Netflix thriller finale; future possibilities explored
Squid Game wrapped with Season 3 dropping on June 27. The Lee Byung Hun, Lee Jung Jae-led Korean thriller may not return for another season, but it hints at a spin-off, possibly an American one. Since the finale aired, Hwang Dong Hyuk's direction has drawn mixed reactions, with many fans let down by how things ended, especially some characters who felt completely pointless and Gi Hun's fate undoing everything he fought for. The tagline teased how low humanity can sink, and sure enough, survival came at a brutal cost. We got a winner, yes, but not much closure. So here we are, breaking down all the loose ends that still need answers. Also read: Squid Game Season 3 ending explained: The truth about Gi Hun's fate, the mystery woman, and all survivors While some viewers are still holding on to theories that Gi Hun might be alive, there's no real possibility. The core message of the show has already been delivered. The economic divide, the dehumanisation, and Gi Hun's final words, 'We are not horses. We are humans'. were aimed at those enjoying these brutal games, using people as pawns for their entertainment. He makes the ultimate sacrifice in the final round, choosing to throw himself off the tower rather than kill the newborn. But yes, it's safe to say his sacrifice will trigger another story, a fresh web of entanglements. Because nothing really ends here. In the final moments, we see In Ho, aka the Front Man, ordering the island's self-destruction and escaping with Jun Hee's newborn. Cut to a few months later, he's spotted in LA, visiting Gi Hun's family. So yes, Front Man survived and vanished. Jun Ho failed. But what's loud and clear is this: In Ho isn't done. His next move, possibly tied to a global expansion of the Game, is already being teased. Also read: Squid Game Season 3 review: Brutal games and bigger moral dilemmas make you pause and reflect The Latin phrase 'hodie mihi, cras tibi' ('today it's me, tomorrow it will be you'), the words written on the dormitory walls, sugegsting, the game is far from over. Korean writing '사람 조심 바보' ('Beware of people, idiot') teasing player 333 betrayal '안전 제일' ('safety first') was ironically written at the final game. Player 456's game timer reads '4:56' just before Gi Hun manages to eliminate the other player. The 'blacklist players' binder that No-eul skips, hinting that more is yet to come. The original mastermind, Oh Il Nam, is long gone. The Front Man, once a winner himself, now runs the show. In Ho survives Season 3, and as the story gears up for a spin-off, a new player steps in. Cate Blanchett's mystery woman is seen recruiting new players, playing Ddakji, hinting at a new organisation pulling the strings. Meanwhile, operations in South Korea have shut down. After 2 years of digging through islands, Detective Jun Ho finally tracked down the betrayer, Captain Park, and landed on the right one, just as the game wrapped up. But before he could act, Jin Ho gave the order to blow up the island and bailed. Jun Ho and No-eul made it out, but the entire Korean operation went up in smoke, with the Front Man wiping out every trace. So, yeah, the authorities failed again. Still, with spin-offs teased, Na Eul might've already cracked open a lead that changes everything. They appear to have evaded justice for the most part. We saw the VIPs enjoying the deaths and betting on contestants, but towards the end, it seems like they managed to escape. Unconcerned about being caught, they were seen gulping down drinks, which shows continued power and the difficulty of exposing such a powerful, clandestine organisation. There is a big possibility, and it makes sense, given Cate Blanchett's role was a treasure in the very last part as a recruiter, suggesting the operations will now be shifted to America. Earlier, in an interview with talk show host Jimmy Fallon, actor Lee Byung Hun, who plays the Front Man, teased a possibility of a spin-off featuring his character. So either we get that, or the story shifts oversees with Lee continuing his role.
