Labubu maker Pop Mart sees profit soar nearly 400% in first half of 2025
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Pop Mart is pledging to increase supply of the Labubu dolls, which have sold out in stores around the world. SHANGHAI - China's Pop Mart, which has taken the world by storm with its ugly-cute Labubu doll, reported a nearly 400 per cent first-half earnings on Aug 19 on high demand for the toys and a shift towards higher-margin overseas markets. Net profit of 396.5 per cent and a 204.4 per cent jump in revenue exceeded numbers flagged in an earnings preview in July forecasting revenue growth of 200 per cent in the first half of 2025 and a recurring net profit increase of at least 350 per cent on the year. Shares in Pop Mart have risen more than 200 per cent year to date, making the Chinese toy company more valuable than traditional industry giants like Barbie-maker Mattel and Hello Kitty parent company Sanrio. Pop Mart often sells its collectable figurines in so-called 'blind boxes' with buyers not knowing the exact design they will receive until they open the packaging. One of the major drivers of the toothy-grinned Labubu's success has been its popularity with celebrity fans, who include Lisa of K-pop group Blackpink, singer Rihanna and ex-soccer star David Beckham. Pop Mart is pledging to increase supply of the dolls, which have sold out in stores around the world. Its chief executive officer Wang Ning, in an interview with Chinese state media last month, said sales of Labubu will surpass 10 million units per day from September this year. Pop Mart classifies Labubu under its 'The Monsters' intellectual property (IP) characters. It said on Aug 19 that 'The Monsters' raked in 4.81 billion yuan (S$860.6 million) in the first half, accounting for 34.7 per cent of total revenue. Four other IPs earned over one billion yuan during the period, including 'Molly' and 'Crybaby', it added. The company now has 571 stores - 40 of which it opened in the first half of 2025 - as well as 2,597 automated robot shops across 18 countries and regions, it added. REUTERS

"Ketamine Queen", Jasveen Sangha, to Plead Guilty in Matthew Perry Overdose Case
The "Ketamine Queen," 42-year-old Jasveen Sangha, has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges related to the overdose death of Friends star Matthew Perry. She is the last of five defendants charged in the case, and she has agreed to a plea with prosecutors rather than going to trial, whose date had been set in September. Jasveen Sangha X In her signed plea agreement, Sangha also confessed to five charges, distributing the ketamines directly blamed for Perry's October 2023 death. She is owning her conduct, aggressively answering those questions," said her lawyer, Mark Geragos. Perry, who found international fame playing Chandler Bing in the hit US sitcom Friends, was discovered unresponsive in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home. An autopsy confirmed that the immediate effects of ketamine were the cause of death. According to prosecutors, Sangha was at the helm of a North Hollywood "stash house," in which she stored and distributed drugs, including ketamine, methamphetamine, and other substances. She provided 51 vials of ketamine to an intermediary, Erik Fleming, 55, according to officials. Fleming ultimately handed the vials to Perry's assistant, 60-year-old Kenneth Iwamasa, who then injected the actor several times, records show. Detectives said it was the doses from Iwamasa that killed Perry, who was found dead in the jacuzzi by Iwamasa. Sangha pleaded guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premise, three counts of unlawful distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution resulting in death or serious bodily injury. She also admitted she sold ketamine to someone else in August 2019, who died of an overdose just hours later. While she had originally been facing nine criminal charges, prosecutors had, as part of the plea deal, agreed to reduce that number to five. If found guilty, she could be sentenced to as much as 65 years in prison. She is expected to plead formally in the coming weeks. Four other defendants in the case have reached plea agreements. They consist of two doctors who sold ketamine—Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez; Erik Fleming, a man who received drugs from Sangha; and Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry's assistant, who not only bought the substance but also injected the actor with it. All five defendants knowingly provided Perry with ketamine, using his addiction to turn a profit, federal officials said. The dual U.S.-British citizen was a familiar Hollywood name. Friends and acquaintances said she partied with celebrities and attended events, including the Golden Globes and the Oscars. Her social media accounts depicted a life of glamour, featuring pictures from luxury parties and trips to places including Mexico and Japan. Her public persona versus her charges has made for a striking juxtaposition that has caught the attention of many. In March 2024, authorities raided her home and found over 80 vials of ketamine, in addition to significant amounts of methamphetamine, cocaine, and Xanax. Federal authorities have said Perry's death has brought attention to the escalating misuse of ketamine in Hollywood. Although the drug does have legitimate medical applications, as an anesthetic or to treat depression, experts warn that using the drug as a party drug rather than under a doctor's care can be dangerous and that it can kill.

Conversational games, pitch zone and lifestyle market among highlights at SG Youth Forum 2025
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox SINGAPORE – What are acceptable pathways of success in Singapore? For Ms Clarice Song, 37, there is no fixed route. It should be shaped through exploration and fun, said Ms Song, co-founder of the youth organisation Bold At Work, adding: 'There are not enough conversations about how one can pursue alternate pathways in Singapore.' Hoping to encourage more of such conversations, Ms Song and her team created That's How We Roll!, a tactile game which encourages players to explore their own narratives of success and what it means to them. Inspired by the principles of design thinking and the storytelling elements of the game Dungeon & Dragons, the game encourages players to take charge of their life's narratives. The game is one of many youth-centred resources that will be showcased at the SG Youth Forum 2025 on Sept 6, where 30 organisations will be setting up booths. (From left) Bold At Work co-founders Clarice Song and Hong Ruoyi, project coordinator Jocelyn Teo, and intern Siti Al' Mira demonstrating how That's How We Roll! is played. Players are posed an open-ended question. They then roll the dice, and weave the dice symbols into their response, prompting reflection on how they might shape their own journey in life. ST PHOTO: NG SOR LUAN Organised by National Youth Council (NYC) Singapore, the forum will be held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre and feature a variety of activities such as a dialogue, pitch zone, and workshops. The forum will spotlight the sentiments gathered from youth through various engagement sessions since November 2024 under the SG Youth Plan. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

It will be presenting their survey findings on how youths are redefining success. IUN president Edison Ng, 24, said forum participants 'can expect to be challenged, in terms of reflecting on the goals they have in life and how these goals came about'. 'Ultimately, we hope to send the message that there is not one definition of success, and youths should be free to chase whatever they want to do,' he added. Friendzone, a social organisation whose mission is to connect communities and youths through conversations, will invite visitors to a game of Sometimes Life Sucks and Sometimes Life's Good conversational poker at its booth. The poker cards contain tough conversation starters, such as 'share a memorable or relatable quote/lyric that inspires you', designed to spark meaningful conversation and deepen social connection.

'Friendzone was inspired by our time living in NUS student residences, which had a very strong sense of community,' he said. The forum will be attended by Mr David Neo, Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth, and Ms Goh Hanyan, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth. Mr Neo will take part in a dialogue discussing how youth can be more involved in shaping Singapore's future. At the forum's project pitch zone, 20 youth-led initiatives will be given the platform to showcase their ideas to attendees, who can then vote for projects that resonate with them to receive up to $2,000 in funding. Among the other activities are a free colour analysis demo station by image consultants, a youth-led lifestyle market, and live panels hosted by Singaporean content creators such as The Hop Pod, Charlene Chew and James Reiner.
