Bosco Wong Denies Romance With Mystery Woman At G-DRAGON's KL Concert
Last weekend, Korean superstar G-DRAGON performed his two-day 'Ubermensch' show at Axiata Arena, attracting many famous faces to the concert hall in Bukit Jalil. One of the stars who went viral on social media for attending the show was Bosco Wong. However, after photos and videos of the actor at the concert emerged online, it prompted many questions about the mystery woman by his side.
As shown in photos, Bosco attended the concert in a low-key manner, dressing casually in a white shirt, a bucket hat and a grey mask. The same grey mask was also seen on the woman next to him, sparking rumours that the two may be a couple and that the masks are 'couple items'. Additionally, concertgoers claimed the two seemed close and were chatting during the show, intensifying the rumours.
However, in a recent interview with Hong Kong media, Bosco denied the dating rumours with the mystery woman. He also explained how he came to attend the concert in Malaysia, saying, 'I went to Malaysia to watch the concert with a large group of friends, and there were more than 10 of us watching the show together. I happened to know the organiser, so of course I had to come! The tickets were also very difficult to get.'
As for the 'couple masks', Bosco clarified that it was merely a coincidence. He said, 'That box of masks was bought for us by my friend in Malaysia, so of course the masks would have the same style if they're from the same box.' Interestingly, the dating rumours emerged days after Bosco's viral statement from a recent talk show appearance, where he said he has no plans to get married.
It's funny how romance speculations can arise just from wearing something similar. We're glad Bosco could clarify the issue before the rumours started spreading – but what are your thoughts on this?

The 'KPop Demon Hunters' food guide: What do the Huntrix members eat?
In KPop Demon Hunters , food is more than just a background addition – it's central to the characters' energy and their culture. The film follows Huntrix, an all-female K-pop trio who moonlight as demon slayers. And slaying all those demons leaves them with an appetite. Their meals, featured throughout the film, are packed with iconic and sometimes lesser-known Korean dishes, revealing a deep culinary layer to the storytelling. For writer-director Maggie Kang, the choice to incorporate a variety of Korean dishes wasn't just aesthetic. It was personal. 'I remember telling the crew I only want kimchi on the table,' Kang said in an interview with US media outlet Salon. 'I never want anybody to say the word 'kimchi' or to feature it, because it's just such a cliched thing to talk about kimchi like that is the one representative thing for Koreans. So I made that a kind of a harsh rule.' Instead, she and co-director Chris Appelhans aimed to present a broader, more intimate portrait of Korean food. That starts early on in the film with Pyongyang naengmyeon, a chilled North Korean noodle dish in beef broth.

A Michelin Guide-listed restaurant and two-time Blue Ribbon recipient, Jinmi offers a version of the dish that satisfies both seasoned aficionados and newcomers. The broth is rich yet clean, the flavors subtle but addictive – a reflection of chef Yim Se-kwon's 20 years of experience. At 15,000 won, the dish is served in the traditional stainless steel bowl and often paired with classics like boiled pork (pyeonyuk), bulgogi or handmade dumplings. Beyond noodles, KPop Demon Hunters also showcases the everyday street foods and convenience store staples familiar to many Koreans: Shrimp crackers, cup ramyeon and skewered fish cake soup all make cameo appearances. Food is central to the characters' energy and their culture. Fuel up with kimbap There's also kimbap, the beloved seaweed rice roll that's ubiquitous in Korean dramas. In Seoul, one standout spot is Botanic Garden Kimbap in Seocho. The shop has recently gained viral popularity thanks to singer and influencer Kang Min-kyung of Davichi. The most popular choices include the flying fish roe, aged kimchi and tuna kimbap, and the mentaiko egg kimbap.

The shop is small and only offers takeout, so ordering ahead via a delivery app is highly recommended. Seollongtang for comfort The girls' post-rehearsal comfort food scene features seolleongtang, a hearty, warming ox-bone soup. 'The soup seolleongtang was a must for me,' Kang told Salon. 'I think anytime Koreans are thinking about comfort food, it's 'tang,' it's stew and soup. So that felt right for that moment, just something warm and comforting.' Seolleongtang is a hearty, warming ox-bone soup.. — Photo: Oegojip Seolleongtang, via ANN Fans can find that same comfort at Oegojip Seolleongtang, a Michelin-recognised establishment also located in Gangnam. Launched in 2005 with a recipe passed down from the founder's mother-in-law, the spacious restaurant takes pride in using only 1++ grade Korean beef from Hoengseong, Gangwon Province. At 14,000 won, their seolleongtang comes generously packed with beef and noodles, paired with house-made radish kimchi, kkakdugi. In addition to seolleongtang, the menu includes hearty options such as yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) for 18,000 won, and sizzling platters of suyuk (boiled pork slices). In a film filled with choreography, action and supernatural flair, KPop Demon Hunters doesn't overlook the small, human comforts. Whether it's a humble bowl of broth, a seaweed-wrapped lunch or a cold noodle dish, each meal grounds the story in something deeply Korean and delicious. For those inspired to take their own culinary tour through Seoul, just follow Huntrix's trail.

Actor Lee Dong-wook on why he became 'The Nice Guy' in new series
The series centres around the eldest son in an organised crime family (Dong-wook, left) and his first love (Sung-kyung). — Handout Hallyu favourites Lee Dong-wook and Lee Sung-kyung partner up in the new series, The Nice Guy , which is a fresh yet nostalgic mix of romance and crime. The story follows Seok-cheol (Dong-wook), the eldest son in an organised crime family who dreams of becoming a writer, and his first love Mi-young (Sung-kyung). Together, they navigate a story brimming with youthful longing and harsh realities. Speaking at a recent press event in Seoul, Dong-wook – celebrated for his performances in TV drama hits such as Guardian: The Lonely And Great God and A Shop For Killers – explained why he took the role. 'For the past four to five years, I've mostly been doing fantasy-based works, and I was feeling a bit worn out,' he said. 'I wanted to do something more grounded and realistic, where I could portray a realistic character.' Adding that he did not do a lot of special preparation for the role, he said: 'You could call it everyday acting. At times, it might even feel like you're seeing the real Lee Dong-wook. 'I wanted to portray a more relatable, ordinary character – someone you might actually encounter in real life – by staying flexible on set and working closely with the other actors,' he said. 'Director Song Hae-sung described the show's vibe as a throwback to the 1980s and 90s, with a focus on first love and gangster life. 'We aimed for something subtle, like Pyongyang cold noodles – simple at first but lingering in your mind,' Dong-wook added. Addressing ongoing concerns about glamourising gangsters – a frequent challenge in Korean noir storytelling – Dong-wook spoke candidly. 'The role of a gangster might come off as old-fashioned or cliche,' he said. 'But by showing the character as somewhat pitiful and pathetic, it feels more real.' He added: 'When I spoke with the director and writers, we all agreed that there would be no glamorisation. 'I had no intention of making the character look cool at all.' – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network The Nice Guy is available on Disney+ Hotstar.

Shuttler Sze Fei weds sweetheart before Paris campaign
PETALING JAYA: Former world No. 1 men's doubles shuttler Goh Sze Fei has officially tied the knot with his sweetheart, Yoke Shan, on Saturday (Aug 2). A photo that has gone viral on social media shows a dashing Sze Fei in a grey suit beaming with joy alongside a radiant Yoke Shan, who looked stunning in a white wedding gown, accompanied by Sze Fei's siblings. The 27-year-old had gotten engaged to Yoke Shan in December last year. Tying the knot couldn't have come at a better time for Sze Fei, who was gearing up for the World Championships in Paris next month with Nur Izzuddin Rumsani. Sze Fei and Izzuddin have been enjoying a strong season so far, having started the year ranked world No. 2. They kicked off their campaign in style by capturing the India Open title in January, defeating South Korea's Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae in the final. The pair continued their fine run by reaching the final of the Japan Open three weeks ago. However, they had to settle for second place in Tokyo. They even had a brief taste of the world No. 1 ranking, holding the top spot for a few weeks from May 27 before ceding it to the Korean pair.
