(Video) Local VFX Artist Sofian Teases 'Superman' Promo Collab With Actor David Corenswet
It looks like he'll be adding another Hollywood collaboration to his portfolio. Earlier this week, the local content creator teased his followers that he was heading to the Philippines to work on a promotional video with a very 'super' actor, who is set to release his upcoming film later this year.
'I'll be flying to the Philippines to film a new collaboration with an actor from an upcoming superhero film! Any guesses who it is?' Sofian captioned a photo of himself at the airport on Instagram. With several titles announced this year, many speculated it could be either Marvel's 'Fantastic Four' or DC's 'Superman'. However, the answer was officially revealed yesterday (Thursday, 19th June).
The Malaysian VFX artist posted a Reel on his Instagram, showing him walking down a street in formal attire while reading a newspaper. Suddenly, beams of light, possibly missiles, appeared in the sky, with one striking a section of the building directly above him and several civilians. Sofian sprang into action, shielding the bystanders from the falling debris with his body before flying off, as the camera panned to reveal the iconic 'S' symbol in the sky.
If that wasn't obvious enough, the influencer confirmed the exciting news in his caption, writing: 'I had the opportunity to join the 'Superman' movie junket in the Philippines. Soon, I'll be filming content with Superman himself, David Corenswet. Pray that everything goes smoothly.' As expected, Malaysians expressed their excitement over Sofian's achievement, praising him for representing the country on an international stage.
Some even joked that the content creator collaborating with Hollywood stars is akin to Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones in 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' Others quipped that it was Superman who was lucky to be meeting Sofian, joking that the iconic 'S' symbol actually stands for the first letter of the Malaysian star's name. We look forward to seeing Sofian's upcoming collab with the American actor!

TV host Lee Teng and wife welcome rainbow baby after 2020 miscarriage
TV host Lee Teng and his wife Gina Lin are now first-time parents to a girl named Ellison. Photo: Gina Lin/Instagram Singaporean TV host Lee Teng and his Taiwanese wife Gina Lin are now first-time parents to a baby girl named Ellison. Announcing the good news on Instagram on Aug 13, he joked about how he should now be called 'Ellis' dad'. The 41-year-old thanked his wife, 32, for her unwavering perseverance in her journey to becoming a mother. Calling their newborn a 'rainbow baby', Lee recounted how the past five years had been anything but easy for the couple after they lost their first child in July 2020. Lin was six months pregnant when she suffered a miscarriage after returning to Taiwan to prepare for the birth of their baby boy, nicknamed Xiao Dou Ya (Little Bean Sprout). Lee was then in Singapore for work and could not leave the country to be with her because of Covid-19 travel restrictions. He managed to reunite with her in August that year, and they subsequently spent three months in Taiwan to heal from the grief together. He apologised to his followers for keeping their second pregnancy a secret. He said: 'My wife and I have faced countless setbacks, and there were moments when I couldn't bear to see her disappointed. At times, I asked if we should give up, simply because I couldn't stand watching her suffer. 'The wait has been long, but the moment I saw the smile on our rainbow baby's face, I knew every second was worth it.' Lee also apologised for turning down work over the past year to be with his wife. Lin shared her heartfelt post on Instagram on Aug 13, writing in Chinese that the past few years had been 'incredibly challenging'. 'Facing physical, mental and emotional strain, and concerns from everyone, I've managed to appear calm and composed. But in reality, I've become incredibly sensitive and insecure,' she admitted. She added that she had been living under a constant barrage of repressed emotions and spent almost the entire pregnancy at home. Addressing her daughter in her post, Lin said: 'Thank you for choosing me to be your mother, thank you for working so hard to grow up, thank you for giving me the courage to face my birthday and thank you for piecing together the broken me bit by bit.' She added: 'From the moment I heard your first cry, it felt so unreal. I wake up every morning and ask myself, 'Is this true?' Thank you for coming safely to us. Your father and I only hope you will be healthy and safe.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gina Lin (@ginalin)

SUPER JUNIOR Siwon Under Fire For Alleged Homophobia After Recent Controversial Actions
In recent years, K-pop fans have become increasingly critical of how idols approach LGBTQ+ topics. This scrutiny grows sharper when an idol has a history of controversy. Online communities are quick to call out behaviour they view as performative or dismissive, especially when it comes from someone with past accusations of homophobia or transphobia. That's exactly what happened with SUPER JUNIOR's (슈퍼주니어) Choi Siwon (최시원). During a recent concert in Tokyo, he had a brief on-stage interaction with NCT's (엔시티) Jaemin (나재민). While some fans saw the moment as harmless or even heartwarming, others didn't. For them, it brought Siwon's past back into focus and reignited long-standing concerns about where he truly stands on LGBTQ+ issues. At the 'SMTOWN LIVE 2025' concert on 10th August (Sunday), Siwon was seen holding the younger idol's hand as they spoke on stage. The brief moment quickly gained attention online. While many fans found the gesture sweet, others reacted differently. One viral tweet reignited backlash, calling Siwon a 'homophobe' and accusing him of being 'gay for pay' or interacting with someone of the same gender for fan service. This criticism isn't new because it actually draws from a history of controversy that spans over a decade. When Siwon was more active on Twitter, he often shared personal views that sparked debate. In one instance, he retweeted a pastor's statement claiming that gay marriage 'doesn't exist.' The message also supported Kim Davis, the American who notoriously refused to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple. After facing widespread backlash, Siwon apologised in a series of tweets. He expressed regret and said he felt ashamed for sharing the post. In 2022, further backlash followed when a leaked message from Siwon on the fan messaging app Bubble was seen as transphobic. He had shared a meme based on a scene from the film 'Titanic' (1997), in which a character lies to save his life. In the edited version, Siwon replaced the dialogue with the phrase 'I'm trans', a move many saw as mocking transgender people. This incident added to a growing list of controversies, including Siwon's vocal support for conservative political figures like Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, as well as his take on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Against this backdrop, his interaction with Jaemin has left many fans uneasy. Fans argue this isn't the first time Siwon has performed closeness with other male idols for attention, with many saying the interaction feels especially disingenuous given his history.
