Taiwanese girl group S.H.E reunite – for Hebe Tien's concert
Taiwanese girl group S.H.E are back together, though it was in support for member Hebe Tien's concert.
Tien, 42, is on a Live In Life tour in Taiwan, where she is playing at smaller scenic locations on the island. She performed at the Outdoor Theatre of National Kaohsiung Centre for the Arts (Weiwuying) on June 21 and 22.
The singer posted several throwback photos of her Kaohsiung shows on social media on June 26. They included one of her with bandmates Ella Chen, 44, and Selina Jen, 43. Both Chen and Jen wore the official white T-shirts of the concert.
That photo drew the most number of 'likes' – more than 1,700 – on Facebook, compared with fewer than 400 for the other photos. Tien also posted photos of Chen and Jen entering the venue together.
'The city of Kaohsiung has added different stories to my life, and made me deeply understand the uncertainties of life,' she wrote in Chinese on June 26. 'It has also taught me to deeply cherish the daily life of being able to sing safely and healthily.'
In September 2022, Tien had to postpone her concerts at Kaohsiung Arena for a week after she came down with a bad bout of flu. She then had to cancel her third and fourth shows due to safety concerns following an earthquake in south-eastern Taiwan.
'Thank you, Kaohsiung, for your acceptance and patience, and thank you to my sisters who have been loving and supporting me all the way, and to the friends who came and cheered for me. Kaohsiung is very hot, not just due to the temperature, but also due to everyone's passionate love. '
Formed in 2001, S.H.E left their long-time label HIM International Music in 2018, with the three singers setting up their own management agencies. They said they were not disbanding despite going solo. Their last studio album was 2012's Blossomy.
Tien released her fifth studio album, Time Will Tell, in 2020. It nabbed three awards at Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards in 2021, including for Best Female Singer (Mandarin).
Meanwhile, Chen took part in reality shows such as Ride The Wind 2023, where she emerged the winner, and acted in dramas such as Dr Lifesaver (2023 to 2024) and Us Without Sex (2024). She released her second studio album Bad Habits in 2024.
Jen starred in her first horror movie Funeral (2022) and released her second mini-album, My Own Beauty, in 2022.

China fund beats 97% of peers by buying Gen Z darlings Pop Mart, Laopu Gold
Shares of Gen Z-favoured Labubu-maker Pop Mart and Laopu Gold, known for distinctive gold pendants, have staged wild gains this year. PHOTO: BLOOMBERG BEIJING - A 30-year old Chinese fund manager is trouncing peers this year with a portfolio stocked with Gen Z-favoured names like Labubu-maker Pop Mart International Group, betting that new-age shopping trends can help his fund overcome the country's economic sluggishness. Xie Tianyuan's Penghua Selected Return Flexible Allocation Mixed Fund has returned 24 per cent this year, ranking in the top 3 per cent among roughly 2,300 peers, data from fund tracker East Money Information show. That's a turnaround from its recent past when holdings in traditional sectors like alcoholic beverages and farming dragged performance. A gauge for Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong has risen 20 per cent this year. The Shenzhen-based fund manager, who took over early 2024, wasted little time in replacing what was then the fund's top holding Kweichow Moutai, a baijiu distiller, with the maker of smash-hit Labubu dolls, Pop Mart. His repositioning for the fund, which has about US$7 million (S$8.9 million) in assets under management, reflects how cultural shifts – brought on by digital influence and youth spending – are creating opportunities for Chinese investors navigating broader challenges in the world's second-largest economy. His conviction strengthened after witnessing the popularity of the toy maker's products in Thailand, which, he says, signalled 'non-linear growth with every metric showing breakout potential.' Growing up immersed in Japanese anime culture – his desk is adorned with Dragon Ball Z figurines – Mr Xie said he developed an eye for identifying promising characters or designs, called 'IP brands,' by mixing personal fandom and online research. That he himself is demographically a member of Generation Z, the driving force behind China's new 'emotional spending' consumption trend, helps him understand what may resonate beyond advertising and go viral. 'Opportunities in the sector in the years to come will be on the single stock level as the population dividend comes to an end,' he said. 'I pick companies that have breakthrough products, new business models and innovative sales channels – products that are both visually appealing and fun.' His top pick, Pop Mart, accounted for 10.5 per cent of the fund's total assets as of March, the top end of its maximum ownership in a single stock allowed, filings show. Other big bets include Mao Geping Cosmetics, up 83 per cent this year, as well as Chongqing Baiya Sanitary Products, and Yantai China Pet Foods. Mr Xie's strategy lies firmly in targeting the Gen Z consumption trend, where purchase decisions are driven by emotional triggers and hobby interest. Despite looming threats from Donald Trump's proposed tariff hikes, this behavioural change fuelled rallies in pockets of China's stock market, especially after the momentum from artificial intelligence began to fade. Shares of the companies at the heart of this trend – including Pop Mart and Laopu Gold, known for distinctive gold pendants – have staged wild gains in 2025. Laopu is up more than 2,000 per cent since its initial public offering in Hong Kong a year ago. The rally has expanded to include sectors like medical aesthetics, pet foods and even vape products. Another potential area for Mr Xie: tapping into the rising popularity of sparkling yellow wine. Still, the consumption-driven rally is showing cracks. Pop Mart tumbled after a People's Daily commentary on June 20 that called for stricter regulation of 'blind-box' toys – products in sealed packaging designed to conceal content and induce surprise and greater desire to collect them. Laopu faces greater selling pressure after the lock-up period from its IPO expired on June 30. Meanwhile, many Gen Z stocks are near or above their average price targets, and in turn, driving analysts to constantly find reasons to bump up their outlook. Mr Xie acknowledged that valuations in the sector may be getting ahead of fundamentals, with some stocks already pricing in earnings three to five years ahead. Still, he remains overall bullish, particularly on the stocks he's heavily invested in. 'The gains may look incomprehensible to some people, but it's actually all rooted in earnings,' he says. 'Growth for some is underestimated, while others are just in the early stages of their life cycle.' BLOOMBERG Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Theatre review: Singapore, Michigan a confident debut about adulting and privilege
Singapore, Michigan cast (from left) Zane Haney, Shrey Bhargava and Ching Shu Yi give real depth to their trio of characters on a road trip in search of the titular American town. PHOTO: PANGDEMONIUM Singapore, Michigan Pangdemonium Lasalle College of the Arts – Singapore Airlines Theatre June 28, 8pm A Singaporean couple and their American classmate drive through a Michigan winter in pursuit of a silly quirk of history – an American ghost town called, perplexingly, Singapore. Over a blustery weekend, the trio realise that the rest of their lives will not so much be a frivolous jaunt, but a series of calculated choices. Playwright Ong Chong An's first professional script is an elegant snow globe of a road trip story. It is a finely crafted drama of young adulthood, as the trio, encased in a dingy motel, trade ghost stories, bad takeaway Chinese food and secrets. Ong's talky script draws out the heightened emotional state that young adults on the cusp of graduation often feel, when every decision appears life-altering. Carol's (Ching Shu Yi) parents own an oil corporation but she wants to work for a non-profit, which annoys her pragmatic boyfriend Manish (Shrey Bhargava), who is tied to a hefty scholarship bond. Jesse (Zane Haney), an English major who comes from money, sides with Carol, but antagonises Manish, who in turn rubs Jesse the wrong way when he calls America a Third World country. Like three volatile elements dropped into a confined space, the trio's biographies and traits play off one another well. Class, gender, nationality and race come to inflect a slow-burn argument about responsibility and desire, choice and circumstance. Under Timothy Koh's direction, the three characters are furnished with a complexity that allows them to be a goofy trio when together, then markedly different in their respective pairs when one steps out into the snow for air or, well, better Wi-Fi. The actors give each of their not-quite-adult characters real depth – Janus-faced Jesse, micro-managing Manish and Carol, adrift between two worlds. Fortunately, the destination of Singapore, Michigan, is kept to a lean five-minute exposition early on – so the ghost town does not become too overt an allegory for the play's themes. That restraint allows Singapore, Michigan, to be the blank canvas on which the characters project their disappointments and hopes. Set designer Eucien Chia's set is as lovely to marvel at as a beautiful winter diorama. The drivable open-topped car prop is the mesmerising centrepiece of the opening winter drive scene and the alabaster forest landscape subtly suggested through what looks like a hand-painted curtain background. In the motel, a brilliant white blizzard at the window is rendered convincingly by light designer James Tan. It is a well-paced story until the play's final act, which is bogged down by an inelegant excess of plot twists and abrupt revelations that try to tie up its complex threads too tightly. Its final act builds up too quickly and risks melodrama in an otherwise assuredly realistic direction. Although equatorial heat is endemic to Singapore arts, winter has not been completely absent, and Ong's 'Singaporean students abroad' play has echoes of writer Carissa Foo's university road trip novel What We Learned From Driving In Winter (2022). It joins the likes of film-maker Anthony Chen's The Breaking Ice (2023) and writer Daryl Qilin Yam's Shantih Shantih Shantih (2021) in Singaporean depictions of winter. More than a coming-of-age story, the play is also about growing up with the burden and allure of privilege, comfort and templates. Writ large, it interrogates a Singaporean brand of exceptionalism – heightened perhaps when one is young and abroad, beneficiary of an imperfect system, and certainly played up in the age of a more insular America. Singapore, Michigan is a confident debut with substantial complexity. The snow falls differently each time you give the globe a little shake.
