Interview: GOT7 Jay B On La Roche-Posay's New Anthelios UVMune 400, His Skincare Routine & Future Solo Projects
Skincare brand La Roche-Posay recently launched its latest innovation, the Anthelios UVMune 400 Anti-Dark-Spots Fluid SPF 50+, in Malaysia with a special celebrity appearance by Jay B (제이비), leader of GOT7. Formulated to meet the challenges of Malaysia's extreme UV levels, this next-generation sunscreen offers ultra-long UVA protection and visible dark-spot correction in a single, ultra-light formula. During the launch at Mid Valley Megamall, the K-pop idol also shared his personal skincare journey, underscoring the importance of reliable sun protection during both his performances and outdoor personal activities, so he can effectively shield himself from the sun. We also got to interview the idol himself to hear what he said about the new product, his skincare routine and his upcoming projects. 1. What is your daily skincare routine, and how do you incorporate the new Anthelios UVMune 400 into your day? Firstly, I start every morning with a mild cleanser and moisturising products. Lastly, I applied La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 sunscreen before going out. 2. What skincare or beauty products do you always bring with you when you travel? Since I'm mostly involved in outdoor activities. I always need to bring sunscreen with me. I genuinely carry sunscreen everywhere. Besides that, I have experienced sunburn before, and I felt like the skin tone didn't suit me. I also realised that under stage lights and when I'm out at beaches or doing water sports, sun protection isn't just about avoiding burns. Long-wave UVA can bounce off surfaces or slip through windows, and I began to notice small dark spots after a while. Now I never step outside without sunscreen—it's the first thing I put on. That's why sunscreen has become essential for me to always bring it. 3. What is your personal beauty philosophy, and how has it evolved over time? When I was young, my skin was naturally smooth, so I didn't have a specific beauty philosophy or routine. Now, looking back, I think if I were still at that age, even 1 year younger, I would have put more effort into skin care. 4. Your last visit to Malaysia was in April for your solo concert. Now that you're back, is there anything you'd like to try that you didn't get to do the last time? Actually, I got some travel recommendations from my friends, and I really want to go travelling. I recently went to Bali. I heard that some places in Malaysia offer scuba diving. I would love to go and try it. If I get the chance, I'll definitely bring La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 sunscreen with me. 5. What's a typical day like for you when you're not working? When I am not working, I look for various activities. But usually, I spent time practising, whether it's vocal training, instrument practice as well or language learning sessions. 6. What is next for your solo career? Are you currently working on new music? I am always working on new music. However, when it will be released depends on the right timing. I hope it will be released as soon as possible, so I can share the new album and meet my fans as well.

Belfast Pride latest to ban political parties over puberty blockers
Belfast Pride have become the latest organisers to ban political parties who supported a ban on the sale or supply of puberty blockers to under-18s from taking part in its December, the four parties in the executive - Sinn Féin, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), Alliance and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) - voted to introduce an indefinite permanent blockers are drugs used to delay or prevent puberty happening and had sometimes been prescribed to children questioning their month, organisers of Foyle Pride, Causeway Pride and Mid and East Antrim Pride told political parties not to attend their Pride events over the ban. Belfast Pride Festival is one of the biggest festivals in the city, with hundreds taking part in the parade which marches through the city centre. 'Anger and frustration' In a statement on Friday, Belfast Pride said following a community consultation, the organisation would not be accepting applications from those executive parties to take part in the parade."Belfast Pride is deeply concerned about the impact this decision has had, and will have, on trans young people," it said what was universal in responses to its consultation was the "anger and frustration expressed at the decision to ban puberty blockers in Northern Ireland". "For at least a decade concerns about the failures in trans healthcare have been expressed to political panels at Belfast Pride and by our partners in the LGBTQIA+ sector," it added."Despite this, no meaningful action to improve these services has been undertaken or plan developed - other than to remove one of the limited services available."Belfast Pride also said the failure to include LGBTQIA+ people in the Programme for Government was "extremely disappointing"."We are living in unprecedented times where our hard-won rights are once again under threat," the statement said."We call on all political parties to take meaningful action to address the inequalities still experienced by our community."Sinn Féin's equality spokesperson, Carál Ní Chuilín, said the decision to exclude executive parties was "deeply disappointing" and a "backwards step"."Pride has always been an inclusive event welcoming people from all backgrounds to participate and celebrate LGBTQIA+ people," she said."While we fully respect the right of the organisers to take this decision, we believe this is a missed opportunity to once again stand together to confront those whose agenda has been, and continues to be, to marginalise, undermine and divide supporters of LGBTQIA+ rights." Puberty blockers in Northern Ireland Until the ban in Northern Ireland, puberty blockers were only available on NHS prescription for under-18s, for those young people who were accepted onto the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Gender Identity Service endocrine pathway prior to March is understood children already on this medical pathway will continue to receive suppressors also remain available for patients receiving the drugs for other uses, such as early-onset move to ban puberty blockers came after a report into children's gender services - the Cass Review - said there were "gaps in evidence" around the review was led by leading paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass and prompted the last government to ban the use of puberty blockers for under-18s questioning their gender – a move which was then supported by Labour when they won the election.
