Lofi Girl finally graduates after seven years of non-stop studying
PETALING JAYA, July 31 — After seven years of hitting the books, Lofi Girl — the beloved animated figure behind the viral 'lo-fi hip hop radio – beats to relax/study to' YouTube stream — has finally wrapped up her studies. In a TikTok video shared on July 29 spotted by E! Online, the ever-studious character apparently swapped her signature headphones for a graduation cap, proudly holding a laptop that read, 'THE END'. The clip featured audio from Disney Channel's A.N.T. Farm: 'Finally, finished with all my homework. I don't know what I learned, but I know I'm done learning.' The internet, of course, rejoiced. YouTube's official TikTok account commented, 'girl congratulations and we MEAN THAT', while Duolingo Brazil chimed in with 'End of an era'. Lofi Girl has been a fixture on YouTube since 2018, looping endlessly in a cozy, Studio Ghibli-style animation as lo-fi beats played in the background. Her study sessions were briefly interrupted in 2020 and 2022 due to copyright complaints, but YouTube later restored the streams. The channel, originally known as ChilledCow, now boasts over 15 million subscribers. As for what's next? No one's sure — but for now, Lofi Girl is finally taking a well-earned break.

(Video) CRAVITY Members Try Malaysian Snacks & Receive Duit Raya From Muna Bella
Last month, K-pop boy groups ATEEZ (에이티즈) and CRAVITY (크래비티) shared the stage, performing for Malaysian fans at the 2025 KPop Masterz in Kuala Lumpur. The latter also took part in several interviews, including one with Hype Malaysia, which you can read more about here. In one of their interviews with local media, the members not only had the chance to sample some Malaysian snacks but were also given duit raya. Duit raya in June? Why not! Here's what happened: Earlier this week, ERA FM posted the second part of their interview with CRAVITY during the group's recent visit to Malaysia. In the video, host Muna Bella told the members that a part of their song Break All The Rules had gone viral among Malaysians during Hari Raya due to a case of misheard lyrics. She then asked the group to sing the misheard line '이제 그 두 발을 내디뎌봐', which sounded like: 'Encik, ketupat rendang di depan.' Since Hari Raya had come up in conversation, and with Aidiladha, or Hari Raya Haji, being celebrated at the time of the interview, Muna took the opportunity to gift each member an envelope containing duit raya. 'Selamat Hari Raya!' she said cheerfully as she handed them out. Another highlight of the interview was when the host introduced the group to a variety of nostalgic Malaysian childhood snacks, including Tiger Biscuits, Apollo, Mamee Monster, and Nyam Nyam. Taeyoung, who lived in Malaysia when he was younger, recognised one of the foods on the table. 'Sangat Sedap!' the members said after trying the local snacks. The interview quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising the CRAVITY members for their politeness when receiving duit raya from Muna. The host herself echoed the sentiment, saying it was one of the most fun interviews she had ever done. We hope that CRAVITY will return to Malaysia for their next tour, and maybe they'll get to do more exploring during their next visit. Watch the full interview below: Sources: YouTube, Twitter

#SHOWBIZ: Malaysian K-pop star Lingling of KIIRAS returns home for debut showcase
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian K-pop fans are brimming with excitement as Lingling, the 20-year-old leader of rising girl group KIIRAS, makes her triumphant return to her home country this week. Spotted at the airport proudly holding her Malaysian passport, Lingling's arrival has sent a wave of national pride across social media ahead of KIIRAS's highly anticipated debut performance in Kuala Lumpur. Formed in South Korea in May 2025 under LeanBranding, KIIRAS is a six-member multinational group that has quickly made a name for itself in the competitive 5th-generation K-Pop scene. Their bold debut single, "Kill Ma Bo$$," showcased their unique blend of Western cowgirl aesthetics with hip-hop and R&B, earning them strong digital engagement and widespread praise. Lingling, originally from Klang, Selangor, stands out as the first Malaysian female K-pop idol, captivating fans with her multilingual talent in Malay, Chinese, English, and Korean. The spotlight is firmly on Lingling as KIIRAS prepares for their inaugural Malaysian showcase, part of their first overseas schedule. The group will deliver a free live performance at the Dato Teo Hang Sam Auditorium at UOW Malaysia, as part of "The Music Journey 2" roadshow, tomorrow (Aug 1). The show kicks off at 3pm, and fans are encouraged to arrive early to witness this momentous occasion. Joining KIIRAS on stage will be a lineup of local and regional acts, including Priscilla Abby, Uriah, RYOTA, and Haoren, promising a vibrant celebration of music. Ahead of their Kuala Lumpur stop, KIIRAS travelled to Singapore for promotional activities. On July 28, as the group departed Incheon International Airport en route to Southeast Asia, Lingling, whose full name is Alicia Wong Ling Ling, unintentionally created a viral moment. While all six members looked stylish in their coordinated tropical outfits, a photo of Lingling casually holding her red Malaysian passport quickly circulated online. The image resonated deeply with Malaysian netizens, who expressed immense admiration and pride for the K-Pop idol's global success while still embracing her national identity. Many celebrated her "flexing" the Malaysian passport, often regarded as one of the world's strongest. After their Aug 1 show, KIIRAS is also scheduled to appear at a brand event in Sunway Pyramid at 2pm on Aug 2.
