Gossip mill: Wife of veteran Hong Kong actor Ai Wai dies of liver disease, Kwon Yul announces wedding, Shinee's new single has same name as late Jonghyun's final album
Veteran Hong Kong actor Ai Wai's wife Lisa Chan died on May 18 from liver disease while waiting for a transplant. She was 61. According to Hong Kong media, she suffered from complications related to polycystic liver and kidney disease and, in 2015, had surgery to remove a 6kg uterine tumour. Following the surgery, fluid reportedly built up in her liver and kidneys, leading to her liver function decreasing to 20 per cent. Ai Wai, known for his roles in Running Out of Time (1999), Flash Point (2007) and Hooked on You (2007), made an appeal on Facebook on May 10 after Chan was hospitalised. The 66-year-old wrote: "My wife's condition is critical, and she was put on the waiting list for a liver transplant about two months ago. Unfortunately, there is still no suitable liver, and all her young family members are not healthy enough. "Now I can only do my best. I would like to appeal here, hoping that there are kind-hearted people willing to donate. Hong Kong's liver transplant technology is very mature now, and the risk of accidents to donors is as low as one to two per cent... I would be very grateful." However, Chan was transferred to the ICU after contracting a bacterial infection and developing fluid in her abdomen, according to TVB Entertainment News. She succumbed to her illness at around 1pm on May 18. The couple married in 2002. They separated in 2020 over her mahjong addiction, but reunited two years later.

"We ask for your warm blessings and support for actor Kwon Yul who is about to embark on a new chapter in life. Kwon Yul will continue to greet [audiences] through various projects as an actor, showing his best on screen. Thank you." Kwon Yul, 42, made his acting debut in 2007's Mackerel Run.

Artist' comeback announcement brings SHAWOLs to tears
SHINee, the SM Entertainment boy group, announced that they will be making their long-awaited comeback on May 25. The return has been highly anticipated by fans, especially following the departures of Taemin and Onew from SM Entertainment after many years with the company. This upcoming release already carries emotional weight for SHAWOLs. While reports suggest the new release will be a single, it's the title that has struck a deep emotional chord with fans. Ringing in the 17th anniversary of their debut, the single, titled Poet | Artist, holds special meaning, as it shares the name of the late Jonghyun's final album, released posthumously on January 23, 2018.
