Viral Now: Vlogger Tries To Make Labubu-Themed Cookie, Here's How It Turned Out
A Labubu fever has taken over the world, and there's no coming back from it. This slightly spooky doll with oversized ears and a mischievous grin had its origins in an indie character from Kasing Lung's 2015 storybook, 'The Monsters.' Now, it is apparently everywhere, from designer handbags to decor items. The popularity boomed when K-pop icon Lisa was spotted with a Labubu doll hanging from her bag. Next, it was the turn for artists like Dua Lipa, Rihanna, David Beckham (yes) and Bollywood celebrities like Ananya Panday and Karan Johar to hop onto the bandwagon. Also Read: This Viral 'Labubu Doll' Can Be Grilled And Eaten The trend has seeped into the food world, too. Recently, a content creator dropped a video on Instagram where she surprised her viewers by baking a Labubu Cookie. You read that right. The giant cookie had a striking resemblance to the eerie-looking doll. The cookie was covered with dough, and chocolate chips were used for the eyes. But there's a catch. When the cook put the life-sized cookie into the oven, it came out all crumbly, cracked and distorted, looking even more bizarre. View this post on Instagram A post shared by juliette (@itsmejuliette) The internet had a gala time watching the video. It received more than 6.4 million views. One user said, 'Bro was smiling before he went in.' 'Ok, so this is art,' lauded another. 'When are we gonna learn our lesson?' asked one person sarcastically. 'Now we need a Birkin cookie to go with it,' noted a foodie. 'It looks exactly like the real one,' pointed out an individual. 'Still cuter than the real thing,' read an honest remark. Before this, a video of a Labubu Toast by a digital creator grabbed attention online. The Instagram caption revealed, 'Couldn't resist making this Labubu toast! I used whatever I could find in the kitchen - the end of a masher for the ears, the back of a cookie stamp for the teeth, black olives (with a dot of yogurt) for the eyes, salami for the ears and nose, and grated cheese for the fluff. So much fun to make - share with anyone who loves Labubu!' Click here for the full story.

K-pop star Shinji's wedding announcement sparks controversy among fans - Here's what we know
The K-pop Wedding That's Got Everyone Losing Their Minds If you thought only Bollywood weddings could get this dramatic, think again! K-pop legend Shinji from the iconic group Koyote just dropped the bomb: she's tying the knot with Moon One, a singer seven years her junior. But instead of the usual "congrats, unnie!" flood, the internet basically exploded with a tsunami of "NOOOO!" from fans. We're talking full-on wedding opposition, wild rumors, and netizens going full Sherlock Holmes on Moon One's past. The drama is so spicy, even your favorite reality shows can't compete. From Fairy Tale to Full-On Fandom Meltdown Here's how it all went down: Shinji, who's been open about wanting to get married, finally announced her big day with Moon One, and they even did a cute wedding photoshoot. It should've been a double celebration - her bandmate Kim Jong Min just got married too! But then, Shinji posted a video on her YouTube channel, introducing Moon One to her Koyote fam (Kim Jong Min and Baekga), and that's when the internet lost its collective chill. The video, meant to be a sweet meet-the-family moment, turned into a viral sensation. In just one day, Shinji's channel doubled its subscribers, and the video racked up over 1.6 million views. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Public Speaking Course for Children Planet Spark Book Now Undo But instead of heart emojis, the comments section turned into a battleground. Fans started digging up Moon One's past, and what they found had everyone gasping. Moon One's Past: Divorce, Daughter, and a Whole Lotta Drama So, what's the tea? Moon One confessed on camera that he's divorced and has a daughter living with his ex-wife. He even showed official divorce papers to Shinji's agency, confirming that the split was due to "personality differences." He says he pays child support and stays in touch with his daughter. But the internet wasn't satisfied. Rumors started flying: some claimed Moon One was involved in shady real estate deals without a license, others accused him of dating multiple people at once, and a few even brought up alleged bullying during his school and army days. Moon One admitted to working in real estate without the proper license (he says he didn't realize it was wrong and just needed to make a living), but he denied all the other accusations. Still, the fans weren't buying it. Comments like "Baekga, please stop this wedding!" flooded social media. Even Baekga, Koyote's rapper, couldn't escape the heat-fans begged him to talk Shinji out of marrying Moon One. Baekga responded with a cryptic Instagram post showing the Koyote members together and a blue heart emoji, hinting at his loyalty to Shinji no matter what.
