The veteran television personality, who gained popularity by hosting cultural programs, award ceremonies, and variety shows, said it is an honour to be a part of this glamorous event. "In an era when streaming series are at the forefront of K-culture, it is an honor to host the Blue Dragon Series Awards every year, which stands at the heart of it. Coincidentally, the first year I hosted the Blue Dragon Series Awards was also when the focus of content began shifting toward streaming series.

High energy, strong vocals: J-pop boy band Be:First makes explosive debut in Singapore, Entertainment News
No fancy effects, no outfit changes, not even a backing track. But these didn't matter. The two-hour Who is Be:First? sold-out performance on July 5 was not just the Japanese boy band's debut concert in Singapore. It was also my first J-pop concert and just like the lyrics of their opening song Mainstream, they certainly showed me a new standard. The seven members of Be:First - Leo, Manato, Shunto, Junon, Ryuhei, Sota and Ryoki - are a balance of skilled vocalists and dancers, with a strong stage presence that amplified their performances. The high energy from the start didn't dim one bit, even though almost every song had a dance break to keep the beat up. Halfway through, they slowed things down a little with SOS, the track I looked forward to hearing the most. As expected, they didn't disappoint, and I would argue it sounded better in person with their clear vocals that weren't drowned out by instrumentals or backing tracks. What impressed me was how everyone sounded stable when singing and rapping despite the often-intense choreographies their songs had. Sota, for one, stood out with his confident, clean and sharp moves, but that's not to say the other members were lacking. They each knew how to keep the audience engaged with their stage charisma. "Singapore too hot," remarked the youngest Ryuhei, 19, at one point, after a loving Sota wiped his perspiration with a towel. The latter then asked the crowd if they were doing okay, and Shunto, 21, looked up at the second level of Capitol Theatre to ask in English: "Are you okay?" Sota, 24, joined him, making fanning gestures: "Are you okay? Not hot?" I was admittedly disappointed that there was no interpreter for their talking segments, but it was little moments like this one where I appreciated the sweet attempts to break the language barrier. We agree Ryuhei, Singapore is really hot 🥲#BF_WORLDTOUR2025 — AsiaOne (@asiaonecom) July 5, 2025 The members, who made their debut in 2022, talked about having local dishes like chilli crab and paper-wrapped chicken and visiting the Merlion Park before asking fans for recommendations on other places to go to. Their fandom Besty matched the group's energy by tenfold, be it through singing when asked to or giving enthusiastic cheers and answers to the boys' questions. Many suggestions on where to go were heard from the audience, with the popular ones being Sentosa, Universal Studios Singapore and Night Safari. Light sticks unite the crowd in K-pop, but I noticed J-pop fans make up for that with their handheld banners and matching merchandise. I also personally loved that official fanchants aren't a thing for the latter, as fans often drown out the artistes' live singing at K-pop concerts. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself - the setlist had something for everyone: From catchy, dance-heavy tracks like Scream and Grit to spirited and lighthearted tunes like Sailing and Blissful. Who is Be:First? They might just be the new standard indeed. Watch for our E-Junkies video interview with Be:First coming out soon!

Divorced actress Lee Si-young confirms pregnancy through IVF
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox South Korean actress Lee Si-young is pregnant with her second child, several months after her divorce. The 43-year-old had confirmed in March that she and her then husband , restaurant entrepreneur Cho Seong-hyun, had split after submitting divorce documents to the Seoul Family Court earlier in 2025. The actress married Mr Cho, who is nine years her senior, in September 2017. She gave birth to their son in January 2018. Lee took to Instagram on July 8 to deliver the surprise announcement of her latest pregnancy. 'Eight years ago, when I had Jung-yoon, who is now the most important person in my life, I was not married and was filming a TV drama,' she wrote in Korean. 'I was younger at that time and had many shortcomings.' Lee said as her son grew , she regretted spending her pregnancy in anxiety and negativity . She had vowed not to repeat the same regrets, if she was pregnant again. 'I prepared for my second child through in-vitro fertilisation during my marriage,' she added . 'The fertilised embryo was not implanted and, as time passed, the topic of divorce was raised. As all the legalities (of our marriage) were being sorted out, coincidentally, the time came for us to make a choice as the five-year embryo storage limit was almost up.' Lee said she made the decision to have the embryos implanted , even though it was done without her former husband's consent. 'I had always wanted another child, and I didn't want to experience the regret I felt with Jung-yoon again,' she wrote. 'I couldn't bear the thought of disposing the embryos as they reached the end of their storage period.' Lee said the only thing that kept her going through her difficult marriage was her son, who filled her with happiness, hope and inspiration. 'I had a miraculous child who made me feel like this life called 'motherhood' was the reason for my existence,' she said. 'I know there are a lot of challenges ahead, and I have had concerns about various scenarios, but all these aside, I want to believe that my choice is worth it.' Mr Cho confirmed to South Korean media outlet Dispatch that he was initially against Lee's decision, as they are divorced. However, he said he would fulfil his responsibility as a father now that his former wife is pregnant with their second child. 'We have been communicating frequently, due to our first child,' he said. 'We will do our best to fulfil our respective roles by discussing the necessary aspects of giving birth and raising a second child.' Lee made her acting debut in 2008 and rose to prominence in the hit K-drama Boys Over Flowers (2009) and the first season of reality variety show We Got Married in 2009 . More recently, she acted in Netflix apocalyptic series Sweet Home (2020 to 2024), receiving favourable reviews for her role as Yi-kyung, a firefighter and former special forces soldier. She is currently starring in comedy-action drama Salon De Holmes, playing one of the four housewives who become amateur sleuths in their neighbourhood while rediscovering their aspirations.
