(Video) G-Dragon Draws Thousands Of Fans To Taipei Restaurant; Meets Up With Jay Chou For Wine
The 'POWER' singer recently completed a three-day show at the Taipei Arena in Taipei, Taiwan. Following the conclusion of the concert's final show on 13th July (Sunday), the star headed to the Gold Pig Korean barbeque restaurant for a well-deserved dinner. However, news of the singer dining at the restaurant made its way to fans, who then rushed to gather at the eatery.
According to reports, hundreds of fans were already waiting for G-Dragon at the restaurant, even before he finished his performance. After his show ended, even more fans started crowding the building. When the BIGBANG (빅뱅) leader arrived on the scene, the fans cheered, causing a huge commotion. After finishing his meal, G-Dragon appeared once again in front of the waiting fans. As a show of respect, the star took off his hat to bow and wave to the crowd.
Fans filled up each corner of the street where the restaurant was. However, security was strict during the night, so there were barriers placed to ensure G-Dragon's safety as he entered and exited the restaurant. The restaurant staff also reportedly covered all the windows to block outsiders from looking into the building when the star was inside.
During his stay in Taipei, G-Dragon also met up with another international superstar, Mandopop icon Jay Chou (周杰倫). Yesterday (14th July 2025, Monday), the latter shared a couple of photos of himself with the Korean singer. According to Jay Chou, the pair bonded over their shared interest in wine and art. The stars previously met in January 2025 in Paris. There are also rumours that the two's recent meeting was to discuss a potential collaboration.
It seems that G-Dragon made the most out of his visit to Taiwan. Let's hope he'll have a great stay in Kuala Lumpur when he arrives in town for his concert at Axiata Arena later this week.

Fan Bing Bing Sells Out Over RM862 Million Worth Of Fan Beauty Face Masks
After her tax evasion scandal that left her with a hefty fine and a hiatus, Fan Bing Bing (范冰冰) has started appearing more in public in recent years. With her achievement in the Malaysian Book of Records for boosting Melaka's digital image and a Malaysian movie completing in November, the Chinese actress has risen above and beyond, and she's not stopping anytime soon. It was recently reported that Fan Bing Bing's famous Fan Beauty Diary face mask made over RM862 million in sales last year. During her hiatus, the actress can be seen frequently applying facial masks in photos on her social media, which could be the leverage for the amazing sales as fans and the public strive to achieve her clear complexion. Fan Beauty launched in 2019 with their best-selling product, the Fan Beauty Diary Face Masks. Since its launch, the product has garnered impressive sales over the years. In a recent promotional shoot involving an amateur photographer and the 43-year-old actress, the brand sold over 200,00 units of face masks alone in less than 72 hours, marking Fan Bing Bing's entrepreneurial prowess, leveraging on her popularity with active promotions. Other than her business prospects, Fan Bing Bing is also set to return to the big screen in the Malaysian film 'Mother Bhumi', speculated to premiere late this year. 'We have closely followed Chong [Keat Aun]'s cinematic evolution since his critically-acclaimed debut. We're also utterly captivated by Fan Bingbing's career-redefining performance through daring characterisation in this film,' said Meng Xie, CEO of film distribution company Rediance. As we follow along Fan Bing Bing's journey, moving past her scandals, we believe that this actress has a lot more coming than we know!

A Trio of Talent: Spanish Maestro, Korean Violinist, and Local Soprano Launch New Youth Orchestra in Hong Kong SAR
The Hong Kong RH Philharmonic's inaugural 'Echoes of Resilience' concert aims to inspire fortitude in challenging times HONG KONG, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The newly established Hong Kong RH Philharmonic (RHPhil) will present its debut concert, 'Echoes of Resilience,' on 19 July 2025 at the Academic Community Hall, Hong Kong Baptist University. This event celebrates Hong Kong's enduring spirit and unity through music. Led by Stanley Chen and Alan Tam, and supported by RH Music Gallery and Y Mission Limited, RHPhil brings together 80 exceptional music graduates aged 18 to 35, creating a youth-driven professional orchestra rooted in the community with a global outlook. Stanley stated, 'Having myself inspired under various batons when I was younger, understanding the true value of diverse learning, we are dedicated to building an international stage for our young musicians—so they may shine through exploring limitless possibilities in their musical journey—and we remain committed to creating more opportunities to support their growth and development.' To foster East-West cultural exchange, the debut concert features Spanish maestro Unai Urrecho Zubillaga, Korean violinist Jeong Yeonoo, and Hong Kong SAR's acclaimed soprano Hedy Chan. Together, they will present rare masterpieces: Bernstein's Overture to 'Candide,' Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major (Op.35), and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 in D minor (Op.47). Shostakovich's works, known for their large orchestration and technical difficulty, are considered a major challenge for orchestras. In fact, major Hong Kong orchestras only perform such works about once every three to four years, with just five large-scale performances in the past decade. This concert will offer a rare live rendition of both concerto and symphonic masterpieces, promising audiences an unforgettable first-hand experience. The concert aims to: Spark intercultural creativity through international collaboration Showcase the resilience of Hong Kong's youth in challenging times Provide performance and career opportunities for young musicians, advancing local arts development Reimagines classical music as civic cultural infrastructure through grassroots participation Event DetailsDate: 19 July 2025 (Saturday)Time: 8:00 PMVenue: Academic Community Hall (AC Hall), Hong Kong Baptist UniversityTicketing: 3972 3880 or orchestra@
