YEONJUN Just Became Asia's Coolest Cider Ambassador – Free Drinks & Exclusive Merch Incoming
Subscribe to our FREE If you've been doom-scrolling through another Tuesday morning, wondering why adulting feels like an endless cycle of nonsense, Somersby has found the perfect person to commiserate with you: Let's be real – YEONJUN was basically born for this gig. The guy's known for his cheeky humour, his 'I 'll-do-it-my-way' attitude, and yes, his well-documented love affair with apples. It's like the universe conspired to create the perfect apple cider ambassador, complete with killer dance moves and a fan base that spans continents. When Life Gives You Nonsense, Grab a Cider (And Some Freebies) Somersby's new campaign isn't your typical celebrity endorsement where someone awkwardly holds a product and pretends it changed their life. Instead, it's built around a truth we can all relate to: adulting is full of absolute nonsense. Between work pressure, social expectations, and the general chaos of existing in 2025, sometimes you just need something refreshingly straightforward. 'As one of the world's most popular fruit-flavoured alcoholic beverages, Somersby continues to grow its relevance in Malaysia by tapping into authentic cultural voices and moments that matter,' said Olga Pulyaeva, Marketing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia. YEONJUN isn't just a familiar face, he represents the generation that values authenticity, individuality, and playfulness. This isn't your typical celebrity endorsement. We're building something long-lasting, creating genuine connections with fans who crave fresh, meaningful experiences that go beyond just great taste. The campaign film shows YEONJUN doing what he does best – being authentically himself while casually tossing aside all the usual advertising clichés. It's the kind of energy that makes you want to crack open a cold one and forget about your overflowing inbox for a hot minute. (Pix: Instagram/ Free Drinks and Exclusive Merch? Say Less Here's where things get interesting for your wallet and your weekend plans. While Somersby's takeover at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur has wrapped up (hope you caught those free samples!), the real treasure hunt is just getting started. Here's the deal for K-pop fans: Somersby is dropping exclusive YEONJUN postcards throughout July. We're talking four different designs that'll make your Instagram feed infinitely cooler and your friends infinitely more jealous. Buy any eight bottles or cans of any Somersby products in one receipt from 1-31 July, and these collector's items are yours while stocks last. Think about it – you're probably planning weekend hangouts anyway, and now you can stock up for multiple sessions while scoring limited-edition merch that'll probably be worth something on the resale market (not that we're encouraging that, but just saying). (Pix: Instagram/ The Real Win for Fans Beyond the exclusive postcards, this whole campaign speaks to something bigger. In a world where everything feels performative and over-complicated, there's something genuinely refreshing about a brand and an artist who are willing to just… be real. Whether you're winding down after a brutal work week, catching up with friends on the weekend, or need an excuse to step away from the endless scroll of social media, sometimes the answer is as simple as a chilled cider and good company. Plus, now you get to do it with YEONJUN's stamp of approval and some pretty sweet collectibles. The math is simple: you get refreshing drinks for your social gatherings, exclusive K-pop merch, and the satisfaction of supporting a campaign that gets what it's like to navigate modern life without taking everything so damn seriously. Keep tabs on all the Somersby action by following Just remember – all activities are for non-Muslims aged 21 and above, and if you drink, don't drive. Because being responsible is actually the coolest thing you can do. Now excuse us while we calculate how many friends we need to invite over to justify buying 8 bottles for those YEONJUN postcards.

Astaka and Kimlun break ground on Arden, Johor's newest landmark within JS-SEZ
KUALA LUMPUR: Johor-based developer Astaka Holdings Ltd, in partnership with Kimlun Corporation Bhd, has officially begun construction of Arden — a premium serviced residence that marks the first component of Phase 3 of its flagship integrated development, One Bukit Senyum. Strategically located within the newly established Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), Arden is set to become a defining feature of Johor Bahru's skyline. The 68-storey tower will soar to 260 metres, making it the second tallest building in Johor Bahru, after The Astaka, also developed by Astaka Holdings. With a gross development value (GDV) of RM800 million, Arden is a freehold project comprising 618 upscale serviced residences with built-ups ranging from 797 to 1,700 square feet. Units are priced between RM1,300 and RM1,500 per square foot, and completion is targeted for 2030. Astaka has appointed GDP Architects Sdn Bhd — the firm behind landmark developments such as Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, TRX Residence, EQ Hotel Kuala Lumpur, and The Astaka — to lead the architectural design of Arden. Designed for modern, urban living, Arden will feature more than 50 thoughtfully curated facilities, including sky dining, a KTV lounge, family-oriented amenities, co-working spaces, and an indoor golf simulator. A key highlight is its Hotel Stay Management model, offering property owners a fully integrated solution for short-term leasing. This includes professional unit management, housekeeping services, and dedicated guest lobbies — a concept that has already attracted strong interest from overseas buyers seeking both lifestyle flexibility and investment returns. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on May 19, officiated by Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB) Mayor Datuk Mohd Haffiz Ahmad, to commemorate the start of construction. "Arden is set to be a remarkable addition to Johor Bahru's skyline. It will not just be a skyscraper, but also a symbol of our rapid growth and commitment to becoming a world-class city," said Mohd Haffiz. "As one of the major projects in Johor Bahru since the formation of the JS-SEZ, Arden stands as a testament to the confidence investors have in our city's potential. We look forward to witnessing this landmark project accelerate Johor Bahru's transformation into a vibrant and prosperous city." Astaka Holdings executive director and chief executive officer (CEO), Allen Khong described Arden as a milestone collaboration with Kimlun, following successful joint ventures such as Menara MBJB and Aliva Mount Austin. "I am proud to highlight that this project brings together two renowned, Johor-based real estate players dedicated to world-class developments that deliver exceptional value to residents and investors." Khong extend his appreciation to the Johor State Government and MBJB for their continued support. Kimlun CEO Pang Khang Hau added that the company is proud to partner with Astaka once again as a JV partner and the main contractor on another transformative project that will redefine Johor Bahru's skyline. Launched in 2014, One Bukit Senyum is an ambitious 11.85-acre freehold integrated development, envisioned as Johor Bahru's future Central Business District (CBD). Its location — just 800 metres from the CIQ complex and 600 metres from the future Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link — makes it a prime beneficiary of cross-border infrastructure enhancements and deepening Johor-Singapore economic ties. The development's momentum is further supported by the JS-SEZ agreement, signed in early 2024, and progress on the RTS Link, both of which are expected to significantly boost trade, connectivity, and investment flows between the two regions. Phase 1, The Astaka, was completed in 2018, comprising two towers standing 65 and 70 storeys high. At 1,020 feet above sea level, it remains the tallest residential building in Southeast Asia, with buyers hailing from over 15 countries, including Singapore, Indonesia, China, Germany, Japan, and Finland. Phase 2, the 15-storey Grade A Menara MBJB, was completed a year ahead of schedule in January 2020 and now houses the Johor Bahru City Council's headquarters. Phase 3, currently in progress, will be developed in stages starting with Arden, followed by a lifestyle shopping mall and a five-star hotel, reinforcing One Bukit Senyum's role as a transformative anchor of Johor Bahru's urban and economic evolution.
