Street protests against Pakistan-backed terrorists good sign for peace in J&K: LG
LG Manoj Sinha (File photo) SRINAGAR: The development of tourism sector was possible only in a peaceful and secure environment, J&K lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha said on Tuesday, adding that ordinary citizens in Kashmir were taking a stand against terrorism, which meant that the people wanted peace and development. Addressing a tourism secretaries' conference in Srinagar, Sinha said while security forces had a huge role in combating terrorism in J&K, the role of society was no less. 'Terrorists' attempt to draw their sustenance from society should be foiled,' he said. 'Street protests against Pakistan-backed terrorists is a good sign to establish permanent peace in the Valley. Entire Jammu and Kashmir must rise and make sure terrorists have no place in this beautiful Union Territory,' Sinha said. Union minister for Culture and Tourism, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, was also present on the occasion. The LG said the conference was a befitting reply to terrorism and reflected J&K's march towards peace, progress and prosperity. 'God has truly been generous to Jammu and Kashmir. This land, adorned with snow-capped peaks, shimmering lakes, apple-laden orchards, temples and rolling meadows, is a living canvas of natural beauty, spirituality and peace,' he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

We have ensured that the benefits of tourism reach every corner of the UT and transform lives.' Sinha said the G20 Tourism Working Group meeting held in the UT was a defining moment that helped in building J&K's brand in global tourism. This was followed by major international and national events, which presented J&K as 'a destination for luxury, film, entertainment and global engagement', he added. The administration was committed to promoting sustainable tourism under SPREAD (Strategic Promotion and Revamping of Emerging Alternate Destinations in J&K), the LG said. 'This strategy aims to mitigate environmental pressure by diversifying tourist activities to lesser-known and emerging destinations.' The government hoped to bring nine emerging destinations on the tourism map and provide direct employment to at least five lakh people in the first year, Sinha said.

Entrepreneur Turned Beauty Mogul Is South Korea's Newest Billionaire
In a 15-second TikTok clip that has racked up millions of views, Kylie Jenner glides a sleek silver device across her face, swearing by its ability to help skin absorb serums more effectively. Dubbed the Booster Pro, the gadget's video has gone viral — and with it, the fortunes of its maker APR Corp., a once-obscure Seoul-based startup now at the center of the K-beauty boom. Behind the firm is 36-year-old Kim Byung Hoon, a tech entrepreneur-turned-beauty mogul whose company has made him South Korea's newest billionaire. His 31% stake in APR is now worth about $1.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, after the firm's shares soared 200% this year. Kim started out dabbling in mobile apps — including a dating app — after studying in California as an exchange student over a decade ago. It was there that he first witnessed the smartphone revolution and got hooked on entrepreneurship. His pivot to skincare came in 2014 when he launched APR, initially focused on cosmetics. In 2021, the business expanded into producing high-tech facial devices that promise spa-like treatments at home. It's a product line that Kim personally evangelizes — he uses APR's facial gadget for 30 minutes every day — APR's Chief Financial Officer Shin Jae Ha told Bloomberg News in an interview. After going public last year, APR is now the second-largest publicly traded beauty firm in South Korea with a market capitalisation of more than $4 billion. Endorsements from top-tier influencers reflect the growing mainstream appeal of K-beauty, the umbrella term for South Korea's booming beauty exports. Once the domain of Gen Z or Asian American influencers, they have gone mainstream in the US, where sales of Korean beauty products jumped 56% to $1.9 billion last year. With global interest rising alongside K-pop music and Korean dramas, celebrities began spotlighting products from APR's flagship brand Medicube in their routines. Hailey Bieber first posted about its gel mask in late 2023, unprompted, the company said. That organic buzz paved the way for APR's global campaigns in 2024 featuring Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian. 'Now it feels that K-beauty has reached the stage where it's spreading from early adopters to mass-market consumers,' said APR's CFO Shin, a former M&A banker at HSBC Holdings Plc, who joined Kim in 2016 after being drawn to his vision. While the rise of K-beauty has mirrored the global surge of South Korean culture, APR is part of a new wave of cosmetic exports. Unlike legacy brands that relied heavily on duty-free shops or China-focused lines, APR found its niche in TikTok-powered skincare campaigns and sleek devices that serve up beauty tech. "K-beauty companies that are good at marketing on digital platforms tend to show faster growth in e-commerce,' said Eun-Jung Park, an analyst with Hana Securities in Seoul. China remains South Korea's largest beauty export market — but just barely. While Chinese imports are slowing, the US is now growing faster and offers higher margins, thanks to its premium retail landscape. More than 70% of APR's revenue now comes from overseas markets — and the US is its biggest driver of growth outside South Korea. The company is now preparing for its biggest retail push yet: in August, Medicube will be sold at cosmetics retailer chain Ulta Beauty Inc. stores across the US, expanding its presence beyond online platforms like Inc. and its own e-commerce channels. 'APR is one of the strongest marketing players among K-beauty brands,' said Park. 'Its Medicube is No.1 in sales [in the US] for a single K-beauty brand.' APR's current lines of skincare and devices focus on anti-aging, moisturising and brightening, with a possibility of expanding into healthcare, the company said in an email. But it is not immune to global trade pressures. For now, APR pays a 10% tariff on beauty goods imported to the US, which Shin calls 'manageable.' But potential escalation in trade tensions, or US clampdowns on Asian imports, could disrupt its rapid growth. On Monday in the US, President Donald Trump unveiled a tariff of 25% on goods from South Korea beginning Aug. 1. That effectively buys South Korea — and other affected nations — an extra three weeks to cut a deal with the White House. Meanwhile, Shin expects the company's sales to hit 1 trillion won ($730 million) in annual revenue this year, a metric in which it is currently lagging its the business grows, founder-turned-billionaire Kim's personal moves are making local headlines. He recently purchased a penthouse in Seoul's upscale Seongsu-dong neighbourhood for 29 billion won ($21 million), the company confirmed, setting a new national record for the highest price per square meter. The luxury residence is also home to well-known movie stars and sports figures, signaling his arrival as one of the country's most visible new billionaires. Despite his new wealth, Kim, who serves as the company's chief executive officer, remains intensely hands-on — coming into the office daily, closely tracking consumer trends and market reactions, and holding strategy meetings with top management even on weekends, Shin said. A few years ago, Kim shared a before-and-after video on social media showcasing the effects of APR's facial gadget on his own skin. But in recent years, he's largely stepped back online, keeping a lower profile as the company's visibility has soared. He declined Bloomberg News requests for an interview, but has in the past spoken about being influenced by the business models of Apple Inc. and Tesla Inc. 'If someone asks me what my career goal is, I'd say now I want to make a big company everyone knows,' Kim told local media around the time of his last Instagram post. 'Like Apple, we want to introduce products that would make us the most innovative company in the beauty industry.'

Japan, South Korea, Malaysia among 14 nations facing tariffs; what might get pricier for Americans
President Donald Trump on Monday, July 7 sent letters to the leaders of 14 countries, warning them of higher tariffs on goods exported to the United States . The move is a renewed push in his trade strategy to narrow the US trade deficit and pressure countries to offer better market access to American products. At the same time, Trump signed an executive action delaying the implementation of these tariffs except for China until August 1, giving countries a few more weeks to reach new trade deals with the US. The tariffs were originally paused in April, but are now set to take effect starting August 1 unless new trade deals are reached. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo The first letters were sent to Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and South Korea's President Lee Jae-myung. Both nations now face a 25% tariff starting August 1. Soon after, Trump announced similar letters were sent to Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Myanmar, and Laos, with tariff rates as high as 40%. Live Events Later in the day, Trump released more letters addressed to leaders of Tunisia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Serbia, Cambodia, and Thailand. In his letters, Trump criticized the trade imbalance, arguing that the US buys far more from these countries than it sells to them. He urged the countries to either lower barriers to US exports or move manufacturing to American soil to avoid tariffs. Trump also warned that tariffs could be raised further if countries retaliate with their own trade restrictions. What could get more expensive? If President Trump's new tariffs take effect on August 1, a wide range of everyday and essential goods could become more expensive for American consumers. Cars and Electronics Japan and South Korea, which now face 25% tariffs, are key suppliers of cars, auto parts, semiconductors, and electronics. That means vehicles from brands like Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and electronic goods such as chips and components for phones, laptops, and appliances could become more expensive. Pharmaceuticals and Machinery Both countries also export large volumes of pharmaceutical products and machinery to the US The added tariff burden could raise costs for medical supplies and industrial equipment. Jewelry and Industrial Metals South Africa, facing a 30% tariff, is the top foreign supplier of platinum, a metal used in jewelry, electronics, and vehicle catalytic converters. Products containing platinum could also see a price hike. Computer Chips Malaysia, which will see a 24% tariff, is the second-largest source of semiconductors to the US These chips are essential in everything from cars to phones, so costs across the tech and auto industries may rise. Clothing and Accessories Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Cambodia, which are now facing tariffs as high as 36% are major hubs for apparel and accessories. This could make clothing, footwear, and fashion items more expensive in stores. In some cases, new rates are higher than what was proposed in April, while in others, like Cambodia, the rates have dropped slightly. Market Reaction The U.S. stock market dipped sharply following the announcement. The S&P 500 dropped 0.79 per cent, the Dow Jones fell 422 points (0.94 per cent), and the Nasdaq lost 0.92 per cent, marking the worst day for stocks in about three weeks. Auto stocks were hit especially hard, with shares of Toyota, Nissan, and Honda falling between 4 per cent and 7 per cent. Europe Left Out, For Now Although Trump has often criticized the European Union over trade, EU leaders said they had not received any letters. Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris said the extension to August 1 could allow time for negotiations toward a "mutually beneficial agreement."
