Chen Xiuhuan and daughter visit Jeju for Mother's Day after watching When Life Gives You Tangerines
Chen Xiuhuan and daughter visit Jeju for Mother's Day after watching When Life Gives You Tangerines SINGAPORE – Local actress Chen Xiuhuan and her eldest daughter Shanisse Tsai were so touched by hit Netflix K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines (2025) that they decided to travel to South Korea's Jeju Island, where the period drama was set. 'This would have to be the most precious and moving Mother's Day gift I've ever received,' Chen wrote on social media on May 11. Mother's Day falls on May 11 in 2025. With much of the story set in 1950s Jeju, When Life Gives You Tangerines stars South Korean singer-actress IU and actor Park Bo-gum as childhood friends-turned-high school sweethearts. The 16-episode series spanning different timelines and generations concluded on March 28. 'We had just finished watching When Life Gives You Tangerines – laughing, crying and feeling every moment together,' Chen wrote. 'The drama didn't just move us. It helped us see through each other's eyes – a mother and her firstborn daughter, each carrying our own quiet struggles, each learning to understand the roles we've had to take on.' Tsai, 27, then suggested to Chen, 59, that they travel to Jeju together to view the scenic sights featured in the tearjerker as part of a Mother's Day trip. Chen has two younger daughters – Shalynn, 25, and Shavinne, 21 – with her businessman husband Fred Tsai. 'This trip – from planning to execution – was all taken care of by (Shanisse): the itinerary, accommodations, restaurants, car rental routes,' wrote Chen. 'I need to do only one thing: Be her Mother's Day queen with peace of mind.' Sharing video highlights of the holiday, the star of Channel 5 series Sunny Side Up (2022 to 2024) added: 'I got to know her again during these few days of the trip.' The duo travelled between the coast and mountains of Jeju Island. The veteran actress praised her daughter for finding a beautiful and comfortable Airbnb, and for planning a barbecue night for them. 'And somewhere between those shared meals and soft silences, I saw her – not just as my daughter, but as a woman, strong and kind, holding me now with the same love I once held her,' Chen wrote. Concluding the post, she added: 'In those few precious days, she gave me a gift no present could match – a quiet, breathtaking reminder of how much she's grown… and that the love between a mother and daughter is a blessing beyond words. Wishing all the mums out there Happy Mother's Day.' Join ST's WhatsApp Channel and get the latest news and must-reads.

Christie Brinkley shows off her $30M 'castle' in Sag Harbor
Christie Brinkley gave the internet an inside look at her "storybook" home in Sag Harbor, New York. Caleb Simpson is an internet personality that stops people on the street and asks them how much their rent is in New York City. He then asks them for a tour of their homes. On Feb. 3, Simpson shared an inside look of Brinkley's home on Long Island with the former supermodel leading the tour on TikTok. He originally posted the video with Brinkley on YouTube in 2023. "How much do you pay for rent in Sag Harbor?" Simpson asked Brinkley at the beginning of the clip. "Oh, I don't rent, I actually own a home here," she replied. The camera panned to a view of Brinkley's home, which Simpson pointed out looked "like a castle." Brinkley noted that she was in the process of "re-wilding" her fields, so by spring, it would be full of flowers. "I've lived here for 24 years, it's the longest I've ever lived in any place in my life," she shared. According to Page Six, Brinkley purchased the 11-bedroom Tower Hill estate in Bridgehampton in 1998, and her property spans over 20 acres. "I've lived here for 24 years, it's the longest I've ever lived in any place in my life." Brinkley introduced Simpson to some of her chickens, including, "Scrambled, Sunny Side Up, Benedict." Her outdoor space includes a chicken coop, a greenhouse, an outdoor pool and spa and lots of open fields. She said her home is "like a little storybook house." In Brinkley's residence is a tower where she took Simpson to the top. "This makes you, like, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Hamptons," he told her. "Kind of," she replied with a laugh. Brinkley showed off some of her prized possessions in her home. She pointed out framed artwork from her children. She has three children from past relationships: Alexa, Jack and Sailor. Brinkley also showed Simpson her 270-year-old bonsai tree: "270-year-old bonsai tree," she said with a laugh. Fans were in awe of Brinkley's home and lifestyle in Sag Harbor. "she looks fantastic and I love her home," one user commented on Simpson's TikTok. "this house is stunning, I'd never leave," another added. "she's living my dream life," a third wrote. According to People, Brinkley's Hamptons home was on the market for $29.5 million in 2021. Brinkley told Simpson that she "occasionally" considers selling her home and thought, "'Oh, maybe I'll sell it and just, like, live on a sailboat or something," but her children have stopped her. "The kids are like, 'No, mom. We grew up here. This is our home, you can't.' As a result, the kids really are always here. I love it for that," she said.

Contemporary art served sunny side up at the Great Park Gallery in Irvine
At the Great Park Gallery in Irvine, visitors have the chance to walk on eggshells. The surface in question is part of an installation from Seattle-based artist Eriko Kobayashi called 'Sunny Side Up.' Two sculptures made of glass eggs, sunny side up, float in front of an orange and blue sky painted on the wall. Below, glass-blown 'eggplants,' green stems with white eggs perched on top like a tulip bulb, sprout from the eggshell-covered ground. The work is featured in the gallery's latest exhibit, 'More Than You Can Chew.' 'It is deigned for the audience to walk through the eggshells,' said Adam Sabolick, arts program coordinator for the city of Irvine. 'It is a very specific sensation.' 'More Than You Can Chew,' on view through April 20, showcases contemporary artworks that use food as a way to examine culture and politics. Co-curated by Sabolick with Andrea Chavez, the group exhibition features 17 artists from around the world who use a multitude of techniques to express their viewpoints. For Kobayashi's meditation on eggs, she worked with a bakery to collect the shells and cleaned them by hand for the installation. 'For me, a sunny-side-up egg is an icon that celebrates the morning,' Kobayashi's artist statement reads. 'Each morning, when I crack an egg and drop it into a hot pan, a unique shape emerges in white with a sizzling sound. Every day, the egg white appears to repeat itself, yet it never takes the same shape. To me, it seems like a cloud, the shape of the clouds in the sky is never the same.' The delicate shells crumble beneath the feet of gallery visitors with a satisfying crunch. The details of the work, like a glass raw egg sliding through the shells, are a testimony to Kobayashi's ability as an artist. 'There is this lightheartedness to the work but also the skill set of producing glass work like this is somebody who is clearly well experienced,' said Sabolick. Other exhibiting artists include Paola de la Calle, Edward Givis, Jody Joyner, Amy S. Kauffman, Alicja Kozlowska, Thomas Linder, Dustin Metz, Baby Mueller, Andrew Orloski, Kristopher Raos, Colin Roberts, Luke Rogers, Kim Rugg, Henrik Munk Soerensen, Michael Thế Khôi Trần and Sarah Anne Ward, each using different media and processes. 'With this exhibition, there are a lot of different forms of painting represented and forms of sculpture represented,' said Sabolick. Colin Roberts, a Los Angeles-based artist, commissioned a sculpture specifically for the show, 'Big Banana,' a large-scale realistic sculpture of the ripe fruit, complete with spotting. 'It is kind of a reflection on the process of aging and the psychology of going through life experiencing things that kind of leave a mark on you,' said Sabolick. Nearby, sculptures of a smaller scale from Alicja Kozlowska include a can of Heinz baked beans, bottles of Coca-Cola and a can of sardines that look familiar. But upon closer examination, it becomes clear the unassuming objects are soft sculptures fashioned from art quilt, a creative textile, and finished with embroidery to appear realistic. A cluster of figs made of deep purple patterned fabrics and adorned with glass beads and Lego pieces for the seeds, stems and flesh, sparkle like freshly cut fruit. The skills of the culinary and fine arts worlds collide in the work of Henrik Munk Soerensen, whose pieces are carved from wood using only hand tools. 'What is also important to note about Henrik's work is he studied gastronomy, so he is a chef in his own right and has this insane understanding of food through a culture lens, and a chemical lens and dietary lens,' said Sabolick. After studying food, Soerensen earned his master of fine arts, and Sabolick said it is easy see the artist's eclectic background present in the work. A block of wood is chipped away at, peeled almost, to reveal a ceramic dish filled with the messy remnants of a lasagna dinner. The peaks and valleys of the leftovers reveal stratification not unlike a raised-relief map. The detailed painting on the wood emulates the look of a ceramic baking dish complete with a poppy design underneath the slick of red-orange grease. 'He uses the oil paint in so many different ways. The flowers that are a decorative part of the dish are oil painted, and all of the parts that represent the juices of the dish are also oil painted,' said Sabolick. Paintings from Orange County-based artist Edward Givis focus on the beauty of everyday objects and fleeting moments so often overlooked: a perfect slice of cherry pie, for instance. 'He calls his work 'the most beautifully generic moment,'' said Sabolick. 'You can take something as simple as a slice of pie or strawberry cake and elevate it through the process of how it is painted and the attention to detail you put into the colors describing a shadow.' The paintings are comforting in their familiarity, and up close the deep precision used to blend together the colors that make up a graham cracker crust deserve the viewer's admiration. Despite the rain on opening day, Jan. 26, nearly 300 visitors showed up for the exhibition, a testament Sabolick said, to local interest in food as well as a connection to art. 'Everybody has different taste and everybody wants something different out of art, and I like being able to tell a story through a range of approaches,' he said. In conjunction with the exhibition, the Great Park is hosting art activities, including DIY button-making on Feb. 1 and an Origami for Breakfast event on April 19, in which visitors can learn to fold a paper breakfast. Live Jazz is scheduled for the Palm Court on Feb. 14, March 15 and April 19. The Great Park Gallery is located at 8000 Great Park Blvd. in Irvine, and admission is free.
