2NE1's Dara sparks buzz with Kuala Lumpur snapshots on Instagram
The 2NE1 member, better known as Dara, posted several photos yesterday showing her dressed casually while exploring some of the capital's iconic landmarks, including Dataran Merdeka, the National Library, the Kuala Lumpur City Gallery, and the Old Chartered Bank Building.
One image shows her posing with the ground markings commemorating Kuala Lumpur's 50th Golden Jubilee, alongside a caption that read: 'Tourist Dara in #KualaLumpur #Malaysia Such a beautiful city.'
'Thank you Dara for coming — we Malaysians love you,' one Instagram user commented.
Some netizens speculated that the post may be a throwback, possibly from her visit during G-Dragon's concert in Malaysia earlier this year, where she was spotted among the audience.

Starchild: The unique friendships of Malaysian kids
The International Day of Friendship is celebrated on July 30. Declared by the United Nations in 2011, it signifies how friendships between people, cultures and nations can promote peace and unity. Bethany Wang Qi Syuen, 10 Do you have a best friend or several best friends? A close friend is someone we can laugh with, share secrets with, and count on when we need help. They stand by us during happy times and sad moments too. That's why having a good friend is so special. Friends make our lives more colourful too. A best friend doesn't have to be someone who is exactly like us. In fact, many best friends are different from each other! What matters most is being kind, respectful and understanding. A good friend listens when you talk, cheers you up when you are sad, and celebrates your achievements – no matter how big or small. Some people may have one best friend, while others may have a group of close friends. Either way, having good friends makes school more fun and life more exciting. You will always have someone to play games with, do homework together, and share stories during recess! Here are the letters from Starchild readers on the topic, My Best Friend. "My best friend is Yu Ze. He always shares his snacks with me. He helps me with my homework. He is good at making me laugh with his comics. He is friendly and caring. I am happy to have a friend like Yu Ze," says Gian Zhe Cheng, nine. Ho Shin Hong, 9 Ho Shin Hong, nine, writes: 'I have two best friends. Their names are Ye-Za and Raj. We play together during recess and help each other in class. I am happy to have kind friends like them.' Kyra Grace Chang Kai Er, 11 'My best friend is Ariel. We sit next to each other in class. She always discusses homework with me when I don't understand something. We like to talk to each other. Ariel is a great friend,' says Kya Loo Qing Xin, nine. Ariel Li Xin Yue, 9 'My best friend is Kya. She always shares her colour pencils with me. We love to draw and colour together. She is kind and funny. I like being her best friend,' says nine-year-old Ariel Li Xin Yue. Kya Loo Qing Xin, 9 'Cayra and Hayley are my best friends in school. We have known each other for four years. We like to chit-chat and invent stories for our comics strips which we draw during free time in class. We share lots of fun and laughter together; memories that I shall treasure for many years to come,' says Bethany Wang Qi Syuen, 10. ITEM: We are celebrating Hari Merdeka on August 31! This day is very special to all Malaysians, as we will be marking 68 years of independence. This year's theme is 'Malaysia Madani: Rakyat Disantuni' (Malaysia Madani: The People Cared For). Starchild wants to know – what makes you proud to be Malaysian? Is it our delicious food, colourful festivals, or the many cultures and traditions that make Malaysia unique? Maybe it is our beautiful nature or the kindness of our people. Show us your love for Malaysia by sending in your letters, stories or drawings. Let's celebrate Merdeka together! Email your contributions to lifestyle@ by Aug 15. Please put 'STARCHILD: Merdeka' in the subject line of your email. Scanned drawings should be in JPEG format, with a resolution of 200dpi. Your contributions must carry your full name, age (open to children aged 12 and below only), gender, phone contact, and address. Instead of handwritten letters, please type out your letters.

‘We'll carry on': Second My Chemical Romance Malaysia show sells out in six hours
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — The Bukit Jalil National Stadium will be packed for two days straight next year, as tickets for the second day of the highly anticipated My Chemical Romance (MCR) Live in Malaysia concert have sold out. This will be MCR's biggest concert in the region, set to take place on April 30 and May 1 next year. Organiser Hello Universe took to social media to announce that all 60,000 tickets for the second day, which went on sale at 10am this morning, were officially sold out by around 4pm. SOLD OUT SOLD OUT We are OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! Thank you Malaysia We made history together See you in 2026! My Chemical Romance South East Asia Tour 2026 30 April 2026 (SOLD OUT) 1 May 2026 (SOLD OUT) National Stadium Bukit Jalil#MCRLiveInKL… — Hello Universe (@hellouniversemy) August 1, 2025 'Thank you Malaysia, we have made history together. 'See you in 2026,' Hello Universe captioned their post. Malaysia is currently the only country in South-east Asia with additional MCR shows. A brief check online showed that the second-day ticket sale went more smoothly compared to the chaotic first-day sale in early July, which saw tickets snapped up within four hours. The first-day sale was also marred by website crashes, as well as scalpers mushrooming online and attempting to resell tickets at exorbitant prices. Some tickets, originally priced at RM499, were seen listed for resale at over RM900, intensifying calls for anti-scalping laws. However, today, several users on X (previously known as Twitter) were seen complimenting the organiser and ticketing platform for their seamless ticket purchasing experience. damn this is the most normal concert ticket that i purchase so far sumpah tenang 3 min je dah secured pls do like this la eh semua eo kat malaysia#MCRliveinKL #mcrinkl — シ (@jenhyuflmz) July 31, 2025 Decided to leave ticketing purely to our own fate and luck and they have decided that we should go for day-2 as well.... SEE YOU NEXT YEAR @MCRofficial ! Didn't expect ticketing to be smooth and secured our ideal section without burning our wallets #MCRLiveinKL #MCRinKL — y e e (@kobrakiddo) July 31, 2025 'This is the most normal concert ticket that I've purchased. It is so seamless, it took me only three minutes to secure the tickets. To other event organisers in Malaysia, please take note,' user jenhyuflmz tweeted. 'Didn't expect ticketing to be smooth and (we managed to) secure our ideal section without burning our wallets,' tweeted user kobrakiddo. MCR last performed in Malaysia in 2007. Other stops on the band's South-east Asia tour include Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia.
