How Did Kylie Page Die? Adult Film Star Who Appeared on Netflix Series Found Dead at Her Home Aged 28 as Tributes Pour In
Page's body was found at her home on June 25 and is set to be transported back to the Midwest for her funeral services, according to the coroner. Born Kylie Pylant, Page launched her adult film career in 2016 and went on to appear in more than 200 erotic movies.
Found Death at Her Home
In 2017, Page appeared in the Netflix series "Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On", which explored the lives of people working in the adult entertainment industry. During her honest appearance on the show, she spoke openly about her battles with substance abuse.
Page was known for her collaborating with big banners in the porn film industry, including Vixen Media Group and the Canadian platform Brazzers, both of which paid tribute to her after news of her death broke.
"The Brazzers team is deeply saddened to learn of Kylie Page's passing," Brazzers wrote in a statement on X. "Kylie will be remembered for her laughter, kindness and bringing light wherever she went. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Kylie's family, friends, and fans during this difficult time."
Star in Her Own Right
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help cover the expenses of transporting Page's body back to Oklahoma and to help with funeral costs, her family said. "Kylie was a daughter who loved hard, a sister who never let go, and a friend who showed up without being asked," the fundraising page said. "She was the kind of person who made you feel like family — no matter who you were.
"We lost her too soon, and now her family is trying to bring her home from California to the Midwest — to lay her to rest surrounded by friends and family."
Page's talent agency, Hussie Models, also paid tribute to her after the unexpected death of the actress.
"Losing Kylie is truly heartbreaking. She was a kind soul, a wonderful friend, and always brought warmth and energy wherever she went," Hussie Models talent agent Alex Mack said in a statement shared with adult industry outlet AVN.
"That's exactly how I'll always remember her, full of life and kindness," he added.

‘Squid Game' Season 3 originally had happy ending: director Hwang Dong-hyuk
July 2, 2025 SEOUL – 'Squid Game,' director Hwang Dong-hyuk's brainchild, wrapped its saga with Season 3, which topped Netflix's global TV charts on FlixPatrol within a day of release on Friday. But reviews have been divided — some lauding its gripping twists and some criticizing it for falling short of the original's creativity. Much of the backlash also centered on the ending, where Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) dies to save a baby born during the deadly games. In a surprise twist, Hwang has revealed that the original plan was for the series to conclude on a much more hopeful note. 'When I first started thinking about the second season, I had a vague idea that Gi-hun would return to the game — maybe to destroy it or at least help a few people escape — and then go to see his daughter in the US,' Hwang said during a press interview held Monday in Seoul's Samcheong-dong. 'That was the rough storyline I initially had in mind. But as I began seriously writing the project, I asked myself, 'What is the story I truly want to tell?' And that led me to the realization that Gi-hun's journey had to end here.' Hwang emphasized that the show has always served as a reflection of contemporary realities. 'Compared to when I created Season 1, the world has gotten even worse. Economic inequality has deepened, ordinary people's lives have become more difficult and wars continue to escalate with no sign of ending,' he said. 'Every year, things seem to grow more serious by the day. But people don't seem to have either the will or the ability to fix it. If things continue this way, the future looks truly bleak. That's a reality I felt needed to be addressed.' He added that Gi-hun's tragic arc was meant to underline those themes, portraying 'the painful journey of someone like Gi-hun, an average or even below-average person.' In addition to the social message the series relayed, one of the elements that helped define 'Squid Game' for viewers worldwide was its use of traditional Korean children's games repurposed into brutal life-or-death challenges. For Season 3, selecting the right games was not a straightforward task, according to Hwang. 'It may seem like any game could work, but when you actually try to adapt it, it becomes challenging,' he said. 'You have to figure out how players will be eliminated, and there needs to be enough space in the game to allow character dynamics and story to unfold. The rules also must be clear so that the line between failure and success is well defined.' Some games did not make the cut. Hwang recalled considering the game 'Why did you come to my house?' which relies heavily on rock-paper-scissors and lacks narrative tension. Another idea involved tying players to a conveyor belt in 'Open the Dongdaemun gate,' but he ultimately rejected it due to the excessive randomness and lack of character agency. One game that did survive development was tag, reimagined as a direct battle-to-the-death between contestants. 'Like the marble game in episode four of Season 1, I wanted the fourth game this time to carry the most emotional weight — a life-or-death moment for the characters. That's why I added the element of killing: to heighten the dramatic tension.' The finale also featured a surprise appearance by Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett, who plays a recruiter conducting a game of ddakji with new candidates in the US. Hwang said casting Blanchett was a deliberate choice aimed at flipping the script. 'Since the person playing the ddakji game in Korea was a man (Gong Yoo), I thought it would be interesting to have a female character appear at the end in the US,' he said. 'I was thinking, it's such a brief scene, who's the actress who can charismatically command the screen in that short amount of time? She's someone I've always admired, and I thought she was the perfect fit for the role. Our CEO and producers agreed, so we reached out to her.' The US-based final scene and Blanchett's cameo sparked rumors of an American remake or sequel, but Hwang dismissed the speculation. As for the future of the franchise, Hwang left the door open for potential spinoffs rather than direct sequels. 'I've already conveyed all the messages I wanted to share in this season, so continuing the main story wouldn't be meaningful,' he noted. 'If anything, it would make more sense to carry on with a spinoff or side story. For example, something like the private lives of the masked figures. Remember the photo found at Captain Park's house with the Front Man? It was just a fun little Easter egg we included, but wouldn't it be interesting to explore what kind of relationship they had and what happened between them?'

New Squid Game season breaks Netflix records
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Actors perform during a parade and final fan event of the Squid Game series, in Seoul, on June 28. SEOUL – The third season of Netflix's blockbuster series Squid Game (2021 to 2025) racked up record viewership in its first three days, reinforcing the South Korean survival drama's status as a global cultural phenomenon. The final season of the dystopian thriller logged more than 60 million views in its first three days – the biggest debut in that time frame – and ranked No. 1 across all 93 countries with top 10 rankings, according to Netflix. That compares with the debut of the previous season, which drew 68 million views in the first four days. The runaway success of Squid Game highlights the enduring international appeal of South Korean storytelling and Netflix's pivotal role in amplifying it. The series reflects deep-seated social anxieties while spotlighting South Korea's creative firepower. For Netflix, which has invested billions of dollars into South Korean content, the challenge now is sustaining momentum with a pipeline strong enough to command global attention. Originally released in 2021, Squid Game was an instant hit and a cornerstone of Netflix's local-for-local strategy. The series remains Netflix's most-watched title of all time, amassing approximately 600 million views across its first two seasons to date. 'Squid Game really must have been the first real Korean drama for a lot of people outside Korea to watch,' said Mr Don Kang, vice-president of Netflix's Korean content, in an interview. 'Ever since then, 80 per cent of Netflix members have watched Korean content and many of them still continue to do so.' Despite receiving mixed reviews for the third season, the show generated significant international buzz on social media following its debut on June 27. An American adaptation of Squid Game is reportedly in the works, directed by American filmmaker David Fincher. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

A massive parade was held in central Seoul on June 28 to celebrate the launch of the final season and as part of the South Korean government's push to position the city as a cultural hub and global tourism destination. 'We want to be the place where creators come to us with stories that no one else will tell at a scale that hasn't been possible before,' Mr Kang said. 'If we keep doing that, I think the next Squid Game will come.' Netflix's South Korea team has also transformed its variety shows into global sensations with hits like Physical: 100 (2023 to present) and Culinary Class Wars (2024 to present). Both shows are set to return later in 2025 and are currently in discussions for potential international adaptations, according to Mr Kang. In an increasingly crowded streaming market, Netflix has partnered with South Korea's Naver, to attract a new segment of users. Naver, which owns the New York-listed Webtoon Entertainment platform, brings added value to the collaboration, though the partnership is still in its early stages. Mr Kang also said live streaming and sports content are being considered as part of Netflix's broader South Korean strategy to boost global user engagement. Bloomberg

Uniqlo to debut Labubu collection in September, here's what to expect, Lifestyle News
The Labubu craze in Singapore is set to continue with Japanese retail brand Uniqlo launching a collection featuring this devilish little creature. Set to drop in September, the collection is titled The Monsters and consists of 14 styles of T-shirts and sweatshirts, priced from $14.90 to $39.90. The collection will be in women's and girls' sizes, while male customers can check the sizes when making a purchase. Although Uniqlo is expecting high demand, the brand will not be implementing a purchasing limit for each customer, The Straits Times reported. No specific launch date was provided as of the time of writing, so Labubu fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for when exactly can they snag these exciting pieces. For the uninitiated, Labubu is a devilish character that is part of The Monsters series created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung back in 2015. Labubu's popularity skyrocketed onto the world stage after international celebrities such as Lisa, Dua Lipa and Rihanna were spotted with the dolls, often attached to a bag. It's not just clothing collaborations and dolls either. In June, a human-sized Labubu figure was sold for $194,000 at an auction house in Beijing. [[nid:718315]] amierul@
