Newcastle United's Magpie Emblem Inspires a New Exhibition
Coinciding with its Asia tour, the free-to-attend exhibition aimed to give fans in the country a closer look at Newcastle United's history through archival imagery and posters. Besides the historic display, it also delivered several specially commissioned works fromJoonho Ko, a local concept artist known for his moody editorial cartoons and vibrant animations.
In a unique blend of Korean culture and football spirit, Ko reimagines the club's magpie motif through the lens of ancient folklore, where the bird is regarded as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Illustrations, includingWinter MomentumandBack at the Nest, find the magpie perched in the foreground as he captures iconic matches, while pieces likeHome Advantagesee birds flocking behind veteran players.
As the club makes their return to Newcastle later this month, the exhibition will go on public display at the Baltic Center for Contemporary Art alongside a curation of mixed-media artwork fromEwen SpencerandJimmy Turrell.

Massive domino finally set to fall to allow Alexander Isak's Liverpool transfer
Liverpool have had to be very patient with Alexander Isak. Newcastle United have been reluctant all summer to let go of their prized asset. But it has become very apparent that Isak does not intend to stay with the Magpies. LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! In fact, he doesn't want to play for Newcastle again. That has made his situation pretty untenable at the club and it has forced Newcastle's hands. They now need to act in the transfer market in order to replace the Swede. How they go about that is a difficult question. Newcastle have failed to land their first choice targets and have struggled to get deals over the line all summer. In the meantime, Liverpool just have to rely on them to turn things around and wait it out for Isak. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Isak is someone who is well worth waiting for. He's an elite forward and he will take Liverpool to the next level. Now it looks like there could finally be some movement that will kickstart a domino effect and get his move over the line to Liverpool. That's because The Athletic's Seb Stafford-Bloor is now reporting that Amine Adli is closing in on a move to Bournemouth and his transfer should be finalised next week. Why does this matter to Isak to Liverpool? Well, it's a game of dominoes. Adli is coming into Bournemouth to replace Dango Ouattara, who in turn will be joining Brentford in order to replace Yoane Wissa. And well, if you've followed the saga long enough, you'll know that Wissa is joining Newcastle United. So, finally with Adli the domino game will begin, and it will end up with Isak being a step closer to Liverpool. Ideally, Newcastle will want two forwards to replace him. But right now, they don't even have one. Anthony Gordon had to play as a forward option in their most recent pre-season friendly. This is why they know it would be dangerous to let Isak go now. With Wissa though, Newcastle's stance will change. They will have at least one player who can replace Isak, and with the money coming in from Liverpool they should be able to buy at least another forward option as well. So, it all starts with Adli. Finally things are moving, and next week could be the turning point in this saga.

Here's How Rei Ami Of "KPop Demon Hunters" Responded To A Viral Rumor That The Hit Song "Golden" Is Actually AI
Everybody's rightfully obsessed with Sony's KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix. The movie's already making history as the iconic single "Golden" from the movie has reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, but not without a bit of controversy. So, KPop Demon Hunters is voiced by a star-studded, all-Korean cast with a visual style and music that pays homage to popular Korean music, anime, and culture. It's dope because it's like one long, action-packed music video. In the animated film, three present-day demon hunters are tasked with saving the world from an evil demon king — Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo). The best part is that they're not just demon hunters but also the super famous K-pop girl group Huntr/x. The singing voices of the animated characters are... ...K-pop singer-songwriter and record producer Ejae for Rumi... ...Korean-American R&B singer and rapper Audrey Nuna for Mira... ...and actor, singer-songwriter, and rapper Rei Ami for Zoey. The movie features several songs that have become instant hits with fans, but the song "Golden" which plays important part in the movie has crossed over into world as chart-topping hit making the virtual girl group HUNTR/X one of the first girl groups to hit #1 since Destiny's Child. It is the second track from an animated film to occupy the top of the Hot 100 this decade since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto. Other tracks from animated characters have charted before, including Alvin and the Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song" or the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar," and "Nobody Like U" from Pixar's Turning Red boy band 4*TOWN. The difference between these past groups is that they didn't have to defend themselves against "artificial intelligence" accusations. A viral tweet with over 12 million views said, "Y'all realize this is one step toward AI completely taking over the music industry as well right?" The tweet triggered a debate over whether or not the performance of "Golden" was AI-generated, prompting a response from one of the real-life artists behind the song. On Aug. 12, Rei Ami shared an X post, writing, "EJAE, AUDREY NUNA AND I ARE NOT AI — ARE U BITCHES DUMB?!" Like her character Zoey with the shin-kal knives, she responded one more time against the accusations, sarcastically writing, "Yall I just found out I've been AI for 30 years omg help I'm just a code oopsie oh noooooooooo me so sad." Thanks to fans, Kpop Demon Hunters has become Netflix's second most-streamed movie ever and gave both Huntr/x and the fictional boyband Saja Boys chart-topping songs. And these same loyal KPop Demon Hunters fans are hilariously ten-toes behind Rei Ami's playful clapback, and they're not pulling any punches. No seriously. Why is Rei Ami so hilarious?

Pick of the stats: Millwall v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough will look to bounce back from a disappointing Carabao Cup loss to Doncaster Rovers when they visit Millwall on Saturday (15:00 BST). Boro boss Rob Edwards called his side's 4-0 defeat on Tuesday 'unacceptable' and will be hoping his side are able to produce something more to his liking this time around. For Millwall, it's a different story. Head coach Alex Neil was 'pleased' with his team's midweek performance against Newport County and he should be - the Lions are yet to lose this season after also defeating Norwich City in their Championship opener. Millwall have lost just one of their last five home league games against Middlesbrough (W3 D1), keeping four clean sheets in the process. Middlesbrough have won three of their last five league games against Millwall (L2), as many as in their prior 11 encounters (D5 L3). Following their 2-1 win at Norwich on MD1, Millwall will be looking to start a league campaign with back-to-back wins for the first time since 2014-15 in the Championship. Middlesbrough beat Swansea 2-1 at home on MD1, but haven't started a league campaign with consecutive wins since 1994-95 in the second tier. On his Millwall debut last weekend, Alfie Doughty played 18 passes into the opposition's penalty area – the most of any player on MD1 in the Championship.
