Not (just) like Jennie: ‘KPop Demon Hunters' director/writer clarifies Blackpink's Jennie only one of many references

SEOUL, June 28 —There has been a lot of online speculation as to which K-pop idol specifically inspired the K-pop idol groups Huntrix and Saja Boys in Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters. The show has proven to be quite a hit, with a very warm reception from K-pop fans. Unfortunately, if there's one thing fans are a little too good at is starting conflicts between fandoms, so it's not surprising that writer and director of the show Maggie Kang decided to clear the air in a post on X. 'Rumi was inspired by many leading ladies, some not even K-Pop. Names are going around (individual idols + groups) bc we only said 'yes' as they were mentioned by interviewer to us but list of inspo for both Huntr/x & Saja Boys is endless. This has been clarified by us to press,' Kang said. She said it in a post quoting an X account stating that the character Rumi of Huntrix was reportedly inspired by Blackpink's Jennie.

Hopefully the online vitriol doesn't scare off Kang from making more stories from the Kpop Demon Hunters universe. Right now Netflix is already selling merchandise from the show and has even opened preorders for a plush version of the blue tiger Derpy.

‘I could eat this everyday': Jason Derulo gives Singapore's chicken rice a ‘10 out of 10', but says no to ‘rojak' and ‘gong gong' (VIDEO)

SINGAPORE, June 28 — American pop star Jason Derulo recently visited the Lau Pa Sat hawker centre in downtown here during his recent stop in Singapore. Guess which local dish caught his eye? According to Derulo, his best pick was the chicken rice — which he gave a stellar rating of 10 out of 10. 'I could eat this everyday,' he said in a TikTok clip along with local influencer Denise Teo. He also gave top marks for ice kacang, and biryani with prata and curry — giving them eight marks out of 10. 'It doesn't look like it's going to be creamy but it's very creamy, it's a lot of different flavours going on. I love mango,' he said of the dessert. However, the singer was not too enthusiastic about steamed sea conch or whelk — also called gong gong in Singapore — rating it a dismal one out of 10. 'I'll have to say this is not my thing,' he said. He also did not like the rojak — slices of cucumber, pineapple, and fritters slathered with prawn paste sauce and peanut sprinkles. 'I don't love peanuts with my dinner so it's not really my vibe,' he said of the dish. The singer, known for his songs 'Whatcha Say' and 'Talk Dirty' recently performed at The Star Theatre in Buona Vista as part of his Nu King World Tour.
