P. Ramlee: A cultural icon whose legacy continues to unite Malaysians
GEORGE TOWN: The late legendary artiste Tan Sri P. Ramlee was more than just a cultural icon; he was also a symbol of national unity whose legacy continues to unify Malaysians regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity, said Deputy National Unity Minister K. Saraswathy. She said P. Ramlee's lifetime creative works transcended racial and religious boundaries, depicting the lives of ordinary people with profound humanity, including love, mutual respect, looking out for one another and a strong sense of family. "I believe messages of unity reflected in the works of P. Ramlee, whose real name was Teuku Zakaria Teuku Nyak Puteh, will continue to be remembered, remain relevant and serve as a beacon for the harmony of Malaysia Madani. "This aligns with the government's aspiration to foster a united Madani society that is respectful of one another, regardless of race, culture, or religion. P. Ramlee has left us with a timeless legacy through his creative works and brilliant ideas," she said when launching the closing ceremony of Minggu Kenangan P. Ramlee: 'Satu Dalam Sejuta' and the music forum "Kisah Di Sebalik Lagu" here today. She said messages of harmony, unity, cooperation, and mutual respect were brilliantly captured and highlighted in the artiste's works. Also present were National Archives director-general Datuk Jaafar Sidek Abdul Rahman, Penang P. Ramlee Fan Club president Tan Sri Yussof Latiff and renowned lyricist Datuk Habsah Hassan. Various programmes were lined up throughout the event, including a lecture by preacher Datuk Mohamad Kazim Elias, better known as Ustaz Kazim, titled "Sedangkan Lidah Lagi Tergigit" on May 24 and the "Satu Dalam Sejuta" run on May 25 at Padang Kota Lama. Saraswathy said the programme aligns well with the aspirations of Ikhtiar 4 under the National Unity Ministry's 2025 Strategic Plan, particularly within the Socio-Cultural Community Cluster: Semarak Perpaduan, which aims to deepen appreciation for national heritage, instil pride in cultural identity and strengthen bonds among Malaysia's multiracial communities through the arts and shared history. "Besides that, collaboration and partnership in organising such programmes are crucial in efforts to preserve the nation's cultural heritage. "I would like to take this opportunity to encourage government agencies, non-governmental organisations, and corporate bodies to collaborate in forming similar partnerships for the benefit of society and the nation. "May the National Archives' aspiration to disseminate information and strengthen public understanding of unity through the messages conveyed in P. Ramlee's works be successfully realised. "It is hoped that through these efforts, the spirit of cohesion and harmony among the Malaysia Madani society can be preserved," she said. – Bernama

It was more than J-Hope's concert — BTS reunites on debut anniversary
SEOUL: Some 27,000 fans roared as they chanted 'J-Hope' over and over until the K-pop star finally appeared on stage at exactly 7pm, wearing sunglasses and a striking red outfit, for his encore solo concert 'J-Hope Tour 'Hope on the Stage' Final' at Goyang Sports Complex, Gyeonggi Province, Friday (June 13). Marking the final stop of his world tour that began in end of February, J-Hope kicked off the show with four back-to-back tracks — 'What If,' 'Pandora's Box,' 'Arson' and 'Stop.' 'What's up, Army (BTS' fan name). What's up, Goyang. Thank you so much to everyone who came to 'Hope on the Stage Final,'' he said, greeting the crowd that filled the stadium. 'This is it — the final show. I can't believe it myself. Starting in Seoul at the end of February, this tour has lasted for three months and it's finally come to an end. I'm honored that the finale is happening on such a meaningful day — June 13,' he said. BTS debuted on June 13, 2013. The 'golden maknae' surprises Army And meaningful it truly was. Following four songs from his special album 'Hope on the Street Vol. 1,' J-Hope was joined on stage by none other than Jungkook, surprising fans who had anticipated the appearance of at least one BTS member. Four members — RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook — were recently discharged from their 18 months of mandatory military service.

'I was so nervous waiting under the stage. I've missed you all so much during the past year and a half,' Jungkook said shyly, clearly not yet used to the crowd. 'My brain kind of froze for a moment. It feels so surreal to be here. Memories are coming back, but it all feels so new. I've missed you so much. It's such a joy to sing in front of you again.' 'I was watching Hobi (J-Hope's nickname) backstage and he was so cool — he's on a different level,' Jungkook added, before performing 'Seven (feat. Latto)' to give J-Hope time to prepare for the next segment. A bold new chapter: J-Hope's stage three Stage 3 was all J-Hope. Of the four songs performed in this section, three were fresh singles — 'Killin' It Girl (feat. GloRilla),' 'Mona Lisa' and 'Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel) – FNZ Remix.' 'Killin' It Girl' had just been released half a day earlier. 'This one doesn't need a long explanation,' J-Hope said, referring to his latest single. 'It's a song that shows the sexy side of J-Hope. I released the three singles this year — all exploring love in my own way, made for easy listening. I wanted to give the songs a beginning, middle and end.' Later, he fired up the crowd with a BTS medley including 'MIC Drop,' 'Baepsae' and 'Dis-ease,' fueling anticipation for BTS' eventual return to group activities. The final segments, titled 'Fantasy' and 'Wish,' reflected J-Hope's ideals and his hopes for happiness for everyone. The setlist included his Billboard Hot 100 debut track 'Chicken Noodle Soup (feat. Becky G),' the B-side 'Hope World' from his first mixtape, BTS' beloved hit 'Spring Day,' 'Equal Sign' from 'Jack In The Box' and 'Neuron,' the main track of 'Hope on the Street Vol. 1.' A show-stealing finale with Jin and the members But the true highlight of the night came in the encore — when Jin joined J-Hope on stage for a duet performance of 'Spring Day.' He followed it up with a live rendition of his second solo EP's main track, 'Don't Say You Love Me.' 'Today is June 13 — our debut anniversary. I felt like I had to perform. So I just asked Hobi directly if I could do a stage with him. And here I am,' Jin told fans. While only Jungkook and Jin appeared on stage, the rest of the BTS members were also present at the venue to support J-Hope. RM, V, Jimin and Suga were spotted in the VIP section and waved to fans when J-Hope mentioned them during his closing remarks. 'Today is such a happy day — not just for me, but for all of our members,' J-Hope said. 'They came to support this concert. BTS members are so precious to me. Without them, there would be no me. And without all of you (Army), there would be no BTS.' 'As long as I can keep moving, I'll show you the best performances and continue sharing good music with you. Thank you so much for coming.' Goyang Sports Complex once again erupted with thunderous cheers from Army — a moment many will remember as the start of BTS' next chapter. - The Korea Herald/ANN

From Poses To Lighting: Selfie Tips From 6 K-pop Idols To Make Your Photos Stand Out
When it comes to taking selfies, K-pop stars do it a lot, whether it's for their photocards or social media. Since these global stars have a lot of experience in the selfie biz, who else but them to share the best tips for a better selfie? While their good looks and clear skin definitely help make their selfies stand out, perhaps these few tips also play a role in creating a 'photocard-worthy' selfie.

TWICE Mina (트와이스 미나) According to TWICE member Mina, the best tip for an enviable selfie is to find a spot with good lighting. She also recommends setting your camera higher at a 45-degree angle – not too much, not too little. Incorporating simple poses could also enhance your selfies. Try doing a finger heart or a peace sign when taking the photo to add pizazz! I-DLE Yuqi (아이들 우기) Yuqi of I-DLE's selfie tips all lie in the poses. A simple one she demonstrated was the 'flower pose' where you rest your chin on the palm of your hand. She also said idols often do the 'cheek heart' pose, where you curve your hand and put it beside your cheek. Another pose she recommends is winking, but having your face close to the camera to add some cuteness. ENHYPEN Sunoo (엔하이픈 선우) ENHYPEN's resident selfie master, Sunoo, has a lot of tips for the best selfies. First, he recommends checking yourself in a mirror to ensure you look good. He also said the lighting is crucial, so make sure not to have shadows in the photos. Lastly, tilt the camera to highlight your best angle and make your face look smaller – and voila! The perfect selfie! I-DLE Miyeon (아이들 미연) I-DLE member Miyeon is so dedicated to taking selfies that she even has a video on the topic. While her video focuses on taking selfies at photobooths, you can apply the same tips to phone selfies. In her video, Miyeon recommends wearing something that complements your skin tone. She also used props in some of her photos, so try those out if you need help with poses. SEVENTEEN Jun (세븐틴 준/文俊辉) The tips that SEVENTEEN member Jun shared might not be conventional, but sometimes going against the norm can give you the best results. Unlike the others, Jun recommends taking selfies in a dark room but raising your phone's brightness to illuminate your face. He also said that taking mirror selfies without makeup can make your skin look better in the photo. aespa Giselle (에스파 지젤) Giselle from aespa is known for having a strong selfie game – and it's thanks to this unexpected app. In one of the group's vlogs, the idol revealed that she uses Snapchat to take selfies. More specifically, she uses the flash feature. She recommends using the ring flash rather than the regular flash because it gives the photo a more airbrushed finish. Now that you've gotten all the tips from these idols, all that's left is to practice, and you're on the way to better selfies! Which tip do you think is the most helpful?
