Cristiano Ronaldo in Hong Kong: fans greet superstar's arrival at hotel
A crowd gathered at the Regent Hong Kong hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui during the morning after word spread of the Portuguese's rumoured arrival ahead of next week's Saudi Super Cup, which is being staged in the city.
They were rewarded shortly before 3pm local time when Ronaldo – who last month
opened a museum in Hong Kong chronicling his career – arrived with his teammates from Saudi club Al-Nassr on their team bus.
Emerging from the bus to cheers, Ronaldo was ushered past fans and quickly into the hotel, while his fellow players stopped to retrieve their bags.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr prepare at Hong Kong's Football Training Centre
Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates have accelerated preparations for their Saudi Super Cup campaign with twin training sessions at Hong Kong's Football Training Centre. Footage obtained by the Post showed Portuguese Ronaldo and his colleagues being put through their paces at the sun-drenched Tseung Kwan O venue on Saturday morning. Al-Nassr, who have been trumpeting the signing of Champions League winner Kingsley Coman, posted videos on their social media accounts of their players, including ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid star Ronaldo, training at the same location on Friday. The 40-year-old Ronaldo arrived in the city with his club amid plenty of fanfare on Thursday. Hours after checking into the Regent Hong Kong hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Al-Nassr had a sodden introduction to the city as Tropical Storm Podul raged while they trained in Kowloon Tong. Al-Nassr, third in last season's Saudi Pro League, will face champions Al-Ittihad in their Super Cup semi-final at Hong Kong Stadium on Tuesday. Meanwhile, on Friday, the club learned they had been drawn in a group with Iraqi club Al-Zawraa, Istiklol from Tajikistan and Indian sides FC Goa for their AFC Champions League 2 campaign.

Who is Kim Nam-gil, the Korean actor best known for K-dramas Trigger and The Fiery Priest?
Korean heartthrob Kim Nam-gil remained as hot as ever this year, performing double duty on global streaming platform Netflix as the lead of the topical action-drama Trigger and in a cameo role in the dark thriller Karma Advertisement Like many others, Kim made his acting debut in the KBS anthology series School, a programme that has become a training ground for many small-screen stars over the years. He appeared in the very first iteration of the show, back in 1999, when he was still a teenager. Among his co-stars that season were other future bright lights such as Bae Doona , Yum Jung-ah, Jang Hyuk, Yang Dong-geun and Choi Gang-hee. But unlike other School alumni, Kim would not parlay that appearance into a screen career straight away. In fact, it would be five years until he notched another credit. Kim Nam-gil in a still from the new drama series Trigger.

This period-set tale, starring Cho Seung-woo, was one of the latter works of legendary Korean filmmaker Im Kwon-taek. Why we love him
