Esther Yu's camp asks fans to calm down over rude behaviour
31 Jul - Esther Yu's management recently found themselves having to release a statement reminding her fans to remain rational, following several instances of their unruly behaviour online. The whole issue sparked after Esther's fans lashed out at her studio, accusing it of being "negligent" in managing her career, and focused their rage especially on her manager Li Jing. They claimed that her studio has failed to secure top-tier opportunities like global endorsement deals. In one instance, her fans even went to the social media account of Esther's sponsored watch brand to call her the "first Chinese spokesperson" of the brand, only to be corrected by others who pointed out that the late actress Barbie Hsu was actually the first. Angered by the fact-check, some of these fans left rude comments like, "Why mention her when she is already dead?", sparking anger among many. As the situation escalated, Esther's studio released a statement on Weibo, stating that they have read all the concerns, and that they have the same goal as the fans. "We will strive to secure the resources that she deserves and increase the number of liaisons as soon as possible to expedite the process," her management said. At the same time, they remind fans to remain rational, stating that fans' extreme behaviour online may violate the law. (Photo Source: Esther IG, Meteor Garden Fanpage IG)

This forward-looking project explores the creative possibilities at the intersection of art and technology – beginning with a large-scale digital installation by Korean media artist TZUSOO, on view at MMCA Seoul's iconic Seoul Box from August 1, 2025, through February 1, 2026. The "MMCA×LG OLED Series" transforms Seoul Box – a soaring, publicly accessible space at the heart of MMCA – into a dedicated platform for contemporary media art. Each year, the series will present a new work by a leading contemporary artist, with LG as the title sponsor providing technical support to help bring ambitious artistic visions to life. For the inaugural edition, TZUSOO presents "Agarmon Encyclopedia: Leaked Edition," a multimedia installation comprising the sculpture "Agarmon" alongside the two-channel video work "The Eight Spirits of Flesh." Known for her distinct voice rooted in digital-native culture and her explorations of gender and identity, TZUSOO engages themes of life, desire, and generative cycles through a hybrid of organic forms and digital avatars. The installation is powered by 88 55-inch LG OLED screens, arranged into two towering media walls specifically designed to fill the Seoul Box space. With perfect blacks and vivid colors, LG OLED displays enhance the visual intensity of "The Eight Spirits of Flesh," immersing viewers in a world where digital creatures shift and interact across screens. The scale and technical sophistication of the installation mark a significant moment for media art at MMCA – and underscore LG OLED's digital canvas as a powerful and creative medium. "It's an honor to support the first of many exhibitions of the MMCA×LG OLED Series by helping bring the artist's bold visual experiment to life through the immersive power of our LG OLED technology," said Kate Oh, head of Experiential Marketing at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. "We hope this series offers audiences a deeper, more sensory experience of contemporary art and expands the possibilities for how it can be expressed and appreciated by art enthusiasts on a digital canvas."
