(Video) Colgate Malaysia Teases Collaboration With K-pop Icon IU; Is She Coming To KL?
These brands do love to tease fans when it comes to collaborations with Korean stars – not that we're complaining, of course. Recently, several companies have been teasing their partnerships with idol groups and actors ahead of official announcements to build excitement. These promotions are clearly doing the trick, as fans are almost always able to guess the mystery collaborators based on nothing more than a silhouette. And now, it seems one singer could be making her way to Malaysia very soon. Who is she? Let's find out. Over the weekend, oral hygiene brand Colgate Malaysia posted a video on social media teasing a future collaboration with a K-pop icon. The clip featured a female singer dressed in purple, posing for the cameras with her face obscured, revealing only her smile. 'The queen of K-pop is about to spill her secret beauty hack for a radiant smile 😁✨ Any guesses? Coming your way soon. Stay tuned!' the brand wrote in the captions. If the smile wasn't already a clear giveaway, the hint 'Queen of K-pop' certainly is, as there's only one person known by that title. As expected, fans flocked to the comments section to share their guesses, but the majority had one name in mind: none other than IU (아이유). Not only is she celebrated as a gifted singer-songwriter, but she's also an accomplished actress, having recently won Best Actress at the Blue Dragon Series Awards and Baeksang Arts Awards for her role in 'When Life Gives You Tangerines'. While Colgate Malaysia's teaser is certainly exciting, there has been no confirmation or indication, at the time of writing, that IU will be making a special appearance in Malaysia. Still, that hasn't stopped fans from urging the brand to invite the icon back to Malaysia for an event. The last time IU was here, she performed at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil back in 2024 and even handed out snacks to fans upon her arrival at KLIA. We personally would love to see IU again, but for now, we'll have to wait for the official announcements for more details about this collaboration. Watch the teaser below: Source: Instagram

Photo: Arden Cho/YouTube The wait is over for fans who have been looking forward to the collaboration between South Korean singer-actor Cha Eun-woo and American actress Arden Cho. On July 27, Netflix dropped a video of their duet for the song Free from the streaming platform's hit animated movie KPop Demon Hunters (2025). The film follows the members of Huntrix, a fictional K-pop girl group, who are fighting to save the world from soul-stealing demons and competing with fictional K-pop boy band Saja Boys from the demon world. 'This cover of Free by Huntrix has officially pierced my heart,' Netflix wrote on Instagram, and thanked the two stars. In the film, the romantic ballad is sung by the characters Rumi, leader and lead vocalist of Huntrix, and Jinu, leader of Saja Boys. Cho, best known for her roles in American supernatural teen series Teen Wolf (2011 to 2017) and legal drama Partner Track (2022), voices Rumi, with Korean-American singer Ejae providing the character's singing voice. Jinu is voiced by Canadian actor Ahn Hyo-seop, with South Korean singer Andrew Choi providing the character's singing voice. K-drama idol Cha was reportedly the inspiration behind Jinu. Cho, 39, also posted on Instagram and her YouTube channel on July 26 a video in which she chatted with Cha, 28 – a member of K-pop boy band Astro – about their duet. He is set to begin his mandatory military service on July 28. 'I'm here with one of my awesome 'dongsaeng' (Korean for younger sibling or friend),' she said. 'But people don't really know you're one of my 'dongsaeng' because we never posted a picture or anything.' Cha said they were introduced about five years ago via a South Korean producer who worked on some of his shows. He had starred in K-dramas such as My ID Is Gangnam Beauty (2018), Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung (2019) and True Beauty (2020 to 2021). 'When I was in America, she introduced (me to) a lot of delicious brunch cafes and restaurants,' Cha said of Cho. 'We love eating.' Cho remarked that Cha looks like Jinu, adding: 'And I thought it'd be really fun and special if we did a collaboration.' Cha also said Cho resembles Rumi, and that it was a sentiment shared by many of his celebrity friends in South Korea and his staff. 'We were texting about KPop Demon Hunters and when we were talking about the movie, I mentioned I was coming to Korea to do some press,' Cho said. 'We were, like, wouldn't it be fun if we covered it?' Cha said he loves all the songs from the movie, especially Free . Cho added that her fiance is a huge fan of Cha's. She announced her engagement on social media in April without revealing his name. 'He's been waiting for our cover. He said you're so cool and so good-looking. You really look like Jinu.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
