HK star Nicholas Tse launches chilli crab mayo hot dog for JJ Lin's concert
Singapore's Mandopop king JJ Lin had some star-studded support for the Hong Kong leg of his JJ20 Final Lap World Tour.
The 44-year-old star performed at Kai Tak Stadium on May 24 and will play another show there on May 25. Hong Kong singer-actor and chef-entrepreneur Nicholas Tse launched a shrimp hot dog with chilli crab mayo, inspired by Singapore's famed chilli crab dish, to be sold at the concert venue in conjunction with Lin's gigs.
In a joint Instagram post with Lin on May 23, Tse, 44, said: 'Good music must go with awesome food.'
Lin also posted an Instagram Story of the hot dog buns on May 24 while preparing for his show backstage at Kai Tak Stadium. He could be heard saying in the video: 'A hot dog with a bit of Singaporean style to it. It looks yummy.'
Aside from Tse, many of Lin's celebrity friends also showed their support.
Lin posted a clip of the flower arrangements he received from his show-business friends, including veteran Hong Kong A-listers Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau, as well as Taiwanese singer-actor Richie Jen and martial arts movie star Jackie Chan.
Fellow Mandopop king Jay Chou had drinks delivered. Chou, 46, sent over bottles and cups of beverages from milk tea chain Machi Machi, which is known to be his favourite milk tea brand. Machi Machi will soft launch in Hong Kong on May 26.
Lin posted about the drinks in an Instagram Story on May 24 and said: 'Thank you to my bro (Chou) for these refreshing drinks.'
Lin kicked off his JJ20 Final Lap World Tour in Singapore with a two-night show at the National Stadium in December 2024. This is an extension of his JJ20 World Tour, celebrating two decades since his debut, which ran from 2022 to 2024.
The Final Lap tour has travelled to cities in North America and Europe, including New York and London. After Hong Kong, it will continue on to Taipei and Seoul, and finally end with nine nights at the Beijing National Stadium in June and July.

Ju Hak-nyeon, formerly of The Boyz, cleared of charges over alleged prostitution activities
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox South Korean singer Ju Hak-nyeon, formerly of K-pop boy band The Boyz, will not face charges after he was accused of being involved in prostitution activities. The 26-year-old was embroiled in a controversy in June when the South Korean media reported that his then agency, One Hundred Label, had received an enquiry from Japanese tabloid Shukan Bunshun about his personal meeting with Kirara Asuka, a Japanese adult film actress-turned-influencer, in Tokyo in late May. A South Korean media outlet then claimed that he had allegedly paid for sex with the 36-year-old woman. The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul then received a complaint from a netizen requesting an investigation into Ju. On July 2, South Korean media outlet Sports Kyunghyang reported that the police had decided on June 25 not to prosecute Ju, as the complaint was based on an internet article and that there were insufficient specific reasons or circumstances to initiate an investigation. Ju had admitted on June 19 in a letter of apology on Instagram Stories to meeting Asuka, but denied rumours of being involved in prostitution activities. The apology came after he was booted from The Boyz on June 18. He wrote another post on Instagram on June 20, threatening to take legal action against media outlets which continued to spread false information about him. He also said that he was removed from The Boyz with no valid reasons and that his contract termination was done unilaterally by One Hundred Label. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

One Hundred Label warned that it would take legal action against Ju if he continued to repeat the distorted claims. Asuka broke her silence on social media platform X on June 21, saying that she had never accepted money for private sexual services, including during the encounter with Ju. The singer then took to social media on June 22, denying the prostitution allegation again and detailing the sequence of events leading to his sacking from The Boyz. South Korean newspaper The Korea Herald said that a court ruling is expected to determine whether the contract termination is lawful.

KRU singer Yusry grateful for return of lost phone at Universal Studios Singapore
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Malaysian singer Yusry Abdul Halim had visited the theme park with his wife, Malaysian actress Lisa Surihani, and their three children. SINGAPORE - What was supposed to be a fun day with his family turned out to be a downer for Malaysian singer Yusry Abdul Halim from pop trio KRU, after losing his iPhone during a visit to Universal Studios Singapore (USS) on June 29. But the 52-year-old's distress was short-lived, as the phone was found later on the same day. In a June 30 post on social media platform Threads, Yusry wrote that his phone went missing at Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, an outdoors river raft ride at USS. The actor-director visited the theme park at Resorts World Sentosa with his wife, Malaysian actress Lisa Surihani, 39, and their three children aged four to to nine a day after KRU staged their Singapore concert at The Star Theatre on June 28. Yusry, who holds the title of Datuk in Malaysia, 'felt quite miserable' about the incident. He reported the loss and accepted that his phone was gone forever. The family then headed to a relative's house to have dinner. At 7.45pm, Lisa received a call from USS informing her that a phone that matches the description of Yusry's had been found. He conveyed his thanks in a mix of English and Malay: 'Whoever found an iPhone with a black cover and returned it, may Allah repay your kindness and make your fortune abundant.' The music star's post garnered over 100 comments, many of them expressing relief and happiness. Some netizens recounted their own experiences of losing their items in public places, while others wrote that items left behind in public in Singapore have a good chance of being returned due its civic-minded citizens. KRU, which also comprise Yusry's brothers Edry, 49 and Norman Abdul Halim, 49, are best known for 1990s pop, hip-hop and R&B hits such as Jangan Lafazkan (Don't Say It, 1999). They have also won multiple awards including Anugerah Industri Muzik 1995's Best Pop Album for Awas (1994). The trio built the KRU brand into an entertainment empire that spans music, film and live events. They also wrote and produced hits for other popular music acts such as Anita Sarawak and Anuar Zain. The group disbanded in 2018, but reunited in 2024 and released their 15th album, Kaset, in April.
