BTS' Jimin visited Seoul restaurant with family for mother's birthday Jimin visited an Italian restaurant named Trattoria Moro in Seoul in May on the occasion of his mother's birthday. Notably, it was during the time he was still enlisted in the military, and making the most of the time from the training break to celebrate his mom's birthday is enduring. The restaurant is reportedly located at 115-17 Samseong-dong in Seoul's upscale Gangnam district. As per the fan account @PJM_data, the owner of the diner shared with them details of Jimin's visit. With the news surfacing, the BTS vocalist has since been dubbed "sweet family guy" by fans. They feel that his kind nature is the result of growing up in a "supportive family."

Everybody wants a Labubu doll
What can a plushie fetch you? If the plushie in question is Chinese company Pop Mart's Labubu doll, the answer is $22.7 billion dollars, soft power and explosive popularity. Based on a character from The Monsters, a toy series created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, the dolls were launched in 2019. The stories are centred around Labubu, who is described by the creators as having a 'cheerful grin' which 'reminds us that no matter what challenges we face, a smile can lift our spirits and lead us towards happiness' . Their popularity rose steadily, until it blew up this year after celebrities, including Rihanna, Dua Lipa and K-Pop star Lisa of Blackpink were spotted toting Labubu dolls. This is not the first time a toy has caused a frenzy. In 1983, the craze for Cabbage Patch Kids dolls — which came with birth certificates — caused riots in several shops in the US, even landing customers in hospital. The 1990s saw a similar fad with Beanie Babies, which were marketed as limited edition collectibles amid a scenario of contrived scarcity. What explains the dizzying interest shown in a doll, including by adults? Part of it may come down to the fuzzy cuteness of the design: With their big eyes and toothy smile, Labubus have a goofy appeal. In its home market of China, for example, the doll shot to popularity during the pandemic as a cuddly distraction from the gloom and doom. Its character description also says that the Labubu is 'kind-hearted and always wants to help, but often accidentally achieves the opposite'. Perhaps this is also key to the toy's popularity. After all, who hasn't felt a little bit useless or inept, despite the best intentions? It may be the Labubus' relatability that has made them one of the most viral toys of recent times.

Days before their star-studded wedding, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez threw a foam party to celebrate her son Evan's 19th birthday. The festivities took place on the billionaire's superyacht over the weekend. The 61-year-old tech mogul and his 55-year-old soon-to-be wife aboard the massive floater off the coast of Europe were seen flirtatiously dancing in the soapy bubbles on Sunday. Ahead of the grand wedding celebration, the couple donated to local charities, a source informed Page Six.
