Exact location of new Banksy artwork revealed
This is the spot in the France's second city Marseille, where the first new artwork of 2025 by Bristol street artist Banksy has been painted. The spot in Marseille is a striking one - close to the Mediterranean waters, and Marseille's Old Port, on a road that runs along the bottom of a cliff and through an open-sided tunnel. The location is the tunnel section of Rue Felix Fregier, a back street in the Saint Lambert part of the city, just south of the port.

Banksy continued the shadow to paint a lighthouse on the wall beyond, captioned with the words: "I want to be what you saw in me". Bristol Live first revealed the location as Marseille yesterday (Thursday, May 29) just after Banksy posted a photo of his work on his Instagram account, but the precise spot in the French port city was not clear. Locals in Marseille have contacted Bristol Live to reveal the exact location as the tunnel - which is already understood to have seen hundreds of visitors this morning, Friday, as word spread of the location.

Everland selects lucky couple to have park to themselves on Valentine's Day
Having an entire theme park to yourself for a romantic date night sounds like a Korean drama cliche -- but it is happening in real life for one lucky couple. South Korea's largest theme park in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, on Friday selected the pair, who will have the entire park to themselves on Valentine's Day. Everland said it notified of the couple individually. They couple was chosen among those who applied for the once-in-a-lifetime night out by commenting on the special event's post on Everland's official Instagram account, which garnered more than 7,000 comments between Tuesday and Thursday when the application closed. The two lovebirds will have Everland exclusively to themselves for two hours after the theme park closes to the public at 8 p.m. They will also have the opportunity to walk around Everland's gardens, known for their nocturnal splendor, ride the Royal Jubilee Carousel, shop at the Moomin-themed store and enjoy churros. As part of the event, the couple will also have their date filmed by a professional, and if the couple agrees, the video will be shared on the amusement park's social media accounts.
