Final Boss meaning explained as Ibiza raver Jack Kay returns to party island
Jack Kay has become an internet sensation after a video of him dancing in a club in Ibiza went viral - with many dubbing him the Ibiza Final Boss. But where does the term come from? Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, you're likely aware of the 'Ibiza Final Boss' - or Jack Kay - who has become an internet sensation. The 26-year-old Brit was recently caught on camera raving at an open-air club on the White Isle, and the video quickly went viral thanks to his 'Battle of Hastings' bob-style haircut. After the video was shared on TikTok, Jack quickly became the latest addition to the internet hall of fame, attracted the attention of brands and even swapping budget airlines for a private jet. It comes after the now infamous Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay's girlfriend speaks out after his incredible haircut goes viral. But what exactly is a 'Final Boss' and where does the phrase originate from? we explain everything you need to know as the 'Ibiza Bob' legend returns to the party island to dance the night away with his pals. What is a Final Boss? If you're familiar with the world of gaming, then you'll recognise the term 'Final Boss'. The term typically refers to the ultimate boss - or villain - that you have to fight at the end of a level or game, reports the Daily Star. Think Bowser in Super Mario, or Doctor Eggman in Sonic. They're the 'Final Boss' - the toughest to defeat, the best of their kind, they hold the power and no one can surpass them. So how does that relate to the Ibiza Final Boss? Well, Jack simply embodies 'Final Boss' energy - he is the epitome of what an Ibiza party lad is according to the internet. He's got the gear, the flashy gold sunglasses, the dazzling white teeth, the muscles, the dance moves, the gift of the gab and the questionable hairdo. Where did the term 'Final Boss' originate? Now that we've established that, let's delve deeper into where the term 'final boss' originated. Surprisingly, it might not have been born from Super Mario's Bowser - despite the evil turtle being the most recognisable. We have to look all the way back to 1974, when fantasy tabletop roleplaying games started to become a massive hit for young lads in basements. Amongst gaming-related forums on Reddit, many computer buffs believe that Dungeons and Dragons has the original 'Final Boss'. Throughout the campaign of chaotic evil and neutral good characters making their way around the map, the game would feature a main enemy acting as the 'boss' to the minions that players would have to battle. Others have speculated that video game Galaga, of 1981, was the first to have a 'final' boss. The arcade shooter game includes the ultimate bad guy called 'Boss Galaga'. Then there's the Nintendo super fans who believe that Bowser is actually the first final boss, making the style of character popular from his initiation in 1985. Perhaps someone needs to create an Ibiza Final Boss game - we'd love to see it.

SM founder's Chinese girl group 'A20 May' enters US, China charts — marking start of global push
Group's debut single, "Under My Skin," lands at No. 39 on US Mediabase chart — a first for a Chinese girl group A20 May, a new Chinese girl group launched by SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo-man, is quickly gaining global traction, breaking into music charts in both China and the US ahead of its scheduled performance at the 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango festival Sunday. The multinational group will be the first Chinese act to perform at the well-known festival in Huntington Beach, California, which this year features artists such as Doja Cat, Meghan Trainor and David Guetta. A20 May's second single, 'Boss,' released April 25, recently entered the No. 8 spot on the Hot Song Chart of QQ Music, China's largest music streaming platform. It also topped the platform's New Song Chart, where it debuted at No. 1 and has remained in the upper ranks — helping it break into the platform's main Top 10 chart. 'Boss' is also gaining attention in the US, where it entered the Mediabase Top 100, a key mainstream radio chart. Following the success of debut single 'Under My Skin,' which peaked at No. 39 on the same chart, A20 May has become the first Chinese act to have two songs in the Mediabase Top 100 at the same time. The music video for 'Boss' has surpassed a combined 60 million views across Weibo and YouTube, demonstrating the group's growing global reach and the appeal of their signature "Zalpha Pop" sound. Zalpha Pop, a term introduced by Lee, is a genre that blends Gen Z and Alpha Generation sentiments. A20 May is produced under A20 Entertainment, led by Lee as key producer and visionary leader. The group's concept centers on Zalpha Pop, which aims to reflect the unique spirit of a new generation and foster a deeper cultural connection with fans worldwide. Following their successful debut in December, A20 May returned in April with 'Boss,' showcasing a refined yet powerful charisma. The track features punchy drums and siren-like synths that build tension, layered with playful sonic textures that add intrigue.

Generate Key Takeaways K-pop star S. Coups is Boss' newest global ambassador, the brand announced on Monday. The singer is expected to be featured in forthcoming campaigns and style pieces from the German-based fashion label at high-profile events. 'Known for his outstanding leadership and sophisticated style, S. Coups brings a bold presence both on and off the stage — setting the tone for a powerful synergy with Boss,' the brand said via statement. More from WWD S. Coups for Boss. Since his rise to fame, S. Coups' profile has conquered his space in the fashion world. In July 2024, he was announced as brand ambassador to Spanish fashion house Loewe, and he attended the label's spring 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week in September. S. Coups' appointment as Boss' global ambassador follows the label's collaboration with David Beckham on the Boss One Bodywear collection campaign, which was released in January and featured the former soccer star modeling underwear from the German apparel brand. Boss' newfound partnership with the K-pop star also comes after the label struggled with sales in 2024, per a WWD report from last November. 'You know, 2024 was a difficult year for nearly all brands. I think the world was kind of upside down from all perspectives, and it was for our customers,' said Daniel Greider, chief executive officer of Hugo Boss. 'There was less traffic and people were not in a mood to buy. I cannot talk about the year-end yet, but we had a better second half than the first half. So things eased a bit up.' Along with Beckham, S. Coups joins the likes of Lee Jong Suk, Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bündchen, Burna Boy and Matteo Berrettini as the brand's ambassadors.
