Puspal denies responsibility for (G)I-DLE, Bam Bam concert cancellation
In a statement released on Thursday (5 June), the committee stated that the concert received pre-approval on 28 April.
"The decision to cancel the concert was made based on a request from the organiser, after considering justifications and the interests of all parties involved.
"In this matter, organisers are required to make thorough preparations, including obtaining early approvals from relevant authorities before organising a concert involving prominent international artistes, as stipulated in the Puspal Guidelines (GPP)," the statement read.
The guideline is available at https://portalpuspal.komunikasi.gov.my/garis-panduan-2/.
It was reported last Sunday (June 1) that the K-Pop Big 2 Super Concert featuring (G)I-DLE and Bam Bam, scheduled for June 16, had been cancelled due to unavoidable circumstances and compliance with local laws and cultural guidelines.
Following this, the organiser decided to issue full refunds. – Bernama

YEONJUN Just Became Asia's Coolest Cider Ambassador – Free Drinks & Exclusive Merch Incoming
Subscribe to our FREE If you've been doom-scrolling through another Tuesday morning, wondering why adulting feels like an endless cycle of nonsense, Somersby has found the perfect person to commiserate with you: Let's be real – YEONJUN was basically born for this gig. The guy's known for his cheeky humour, his 'I 'll-do-it-my-way' attitude, and yes, his well-documented love affair with apples. It's like the universe conspired to create the perfect apple cider ambassador, complete with killer dance moves and a fan base that spans continents. When Life Gives You Nonsense, Grab a Cider (And Some Freebies) Somersby's new campaign isn't your typical celebrity endorsement where someone awkwardly holds a product and pretends it changed their life. Instead, it's built around a truth we can all relate to: adulting is full of absolute nonsense. Between work pressure, social expectations, and the general chaos of existing in 2025, sometimes you just need something refreshingly straightforward. 'As one of the world's most popular fruit-flavoured alcoholic beverages, Somersby continues to grow its relevance in Malaysia by tapping into authentic cultural voices and moments that matter,' said Olga Pulyaeva, Marketing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia. YEONJUN isn't just a familiar face, he represents the generation that values authenticity, individuality, and playfulness. This isn't your typical celebrity endorsement. We're building something long-lasting, creating genuine connections with fans who crave fresh, meaningful experiences that go beyond just great taste. The campaign film shows YEONJUN doing what he does best – being authentically himself while casually tossing aside all the usual advertising clichés. It's the kind of energy that makes you want to crack open a cold one and forget about your overflowing inbox for a hot minute. (Pix: Instagram/ Free Drinks and Exclusive Merch? Say Less Here's where things get interesting for your wallet and your weekend plans. While Somersby's takeover at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur has wrapped up (hope you caught those free samples!), the real treasure hunt is just getting started. Here's the deal for K-pop fans: Somersby is dropping exclusive YEONJUN postcards throughout July. We're talking four different designs that'll make your Instagram feed infinitely cooler and your friends infinitely more jealous. Buy any eight bottles or cans of any Somersby products in one receipt from 1-31 July, and these collector's items are yours while stocks last. Think about it – you're probably planning weekend hangouts anyway, and now you can stock up for multiple sessions while scoring limited-edition merch that'll probably be worth something on the resale market (not that we're encouraging that, but just saying). (Pix: Instagram/ The Real Win for Fans Beyond the exclusive postcards, this whole campaign speaks to something bigger. In a world where everything feels performative and over-complicated, there's something genuinely refreshing about a brand and an artist who are willing to just… be real. Whether you're winding down after a brutal work week, catching up with friends on the weekend, or need an excuse to step away from the endless scroll of social media, sometimes the answer is as simple as a chilled cider and good company. Plus, now you get to do it with YEONJUN's stamp of approval and some pretty sweet collectibles. The math is simple: you get refreshing drinks for your social gatherings, exclusive K-pop merch, and the satisfaction of supporting a campaign that gets what it's like to navigate modern life without taking everything so damn seriously. Keep tabs on all the Somersby action by following Just remember – all activities are for non-Muslims aged 21 and above, and if you drink, don't drive. Because being responsible is actually the coolest thing you can do. Now excuse us while we calculate how many friends we need to invite over to justify buying 8 bottles for those YEONJUN postcards.

(Video) Fans React To BLACKPINK Jennie & Samuel L. Jackson Lip-Syncing To Each Other In New adidas Ad
Sometimes, you might spot your favourite celebrity in an advertisement for a brand they represent as an ambassador, or have collaborated with. Other times, an ad will feature an all-star cast, including some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. adidas did just that with their latest campaign for the adidas Superstar collection. The black and white video advertisement, posted on Instagram, features rappers Missy Elliott and GloRilla, actor Samuel L. Jackson, model Gabbriette, and BLACKPINK's Jennie (제니). While the video has been gaining plenty of attention on social media, it's not necessarily for the shoes they're promoting. Here's what we mean: Yesterday (Monday, 7th July), adidas shared their latest advertisement on their official social media platforms, featuring the aforementioned celebrities. The promo was created to celebrate the brand's timeless classic, with narration by Samuel L. Jackson and the other stars joining in with their lines throughout the video. On Instagram, fans were raving over Jennie's appearance, praising her ethereal visuals in the promo. Over on Twitter, however, the conversation took a different turn. At one point in the advertisement, many viewers were caught off guard when BLACKPINK's Jennie and the Marvel actor appeared to lip-sync to each other's voices during the line, 'Trendy today, tacky tomorrow.' The unexpected moment instantly went viral with many finding it unexpected and hilarious. Some likened the viral clip to the 'you make a face, I make a sound' game that's been trending on TikTok. Others joked that this might be the closest we'll get to a Jennie and Marvel collaboration, given that one of Samuel L. Jackson's most iconic roles is Director Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Whatever the comments are, most appear to be positive, and fans love the new campaign, knowing the K-pop idol is part of it.

It's certainly been a while since this boy group last performed in Malaysia, but the wait is finally over, as they're officially making their return to give fans a night to remember! Earlier today (Tuesday, 8th July), concert organiser CQ Entertainment announced on social media that K-pop boy group WINNER (위너) will be embarking on their 'OUR MOMENT' tour across Asia later this year — and it's now confirmed that Malaysia is one of the stops. Here's what we know so far: Back in May, YG Entertainment announced that WINNER would be holding a three-day concert this July at the Olympic Hall in Seoul, South Korea.

While there's no news of a new album just yet, what we do know is that the boys will be returning to Malaysia as part of their upcoming Asia tour, marking their first concert here since 2020. Although limited information has been released at the time of writing, here are the confirmed details so far: WINNER 'OUR MOMENT 2025 ASIA CONCERT' in KUALA LUMPUR Date: 1st November 2025 (Saturday) 1st November 2025 (Saturday) Venue: TBA TBA Organiser: CQ Entertainment Be sure to stay tuned for more updates, or follow CQ Entertainment on all their social media platforms for the latest information about the upcoming KL show in the coming days.
