(Video) Chinese Singer Della Ding Dang Sports Red Kebaya & Performs Malay Song During KL Concert
We've seen many international stars perform in Malaysia, and sometimes, the stars would include a little surprise for the local fans. During her recent concert in KL, Chinese singer Della Ding Dang (丁噹) went on stage in a traditional garment to honour the local culture. The singer was recently in town for her 'A Night Tour' concert at Mega Star Arena. During the concert on 5th July 2025 (Saturday), Della wowed the crowd with her powerful vocals and emotional performances. The last time the vocalist was in town was two years ago, so it's no surprise that fans were excited to see her back in KL. Della was equally happy to see her Malaysian fans, showering them with praise for their enthusiasm during the show. Throughout the night, the 43-year-old made an effort to interact with fans as much as possible, greeting them with hi-5s and handshakes. As another show of appreciation to her local fans, Della also prepared a surprise performance. During the encore session, the star went on stage in a red Nyonya Kebaya to perform the Malay duet 'Masing-Masing' by Ernie Zakri and Ade Govinda. The 'Masing-Masing' performance was a Malaysia exclusive, so only fans at Mega Star Arena got to hear Della sing the song live. After the surprise stage, the singer laughed in glee and said, 'Wearing traditional clothes, I suddenly feel that I have become elegant'. She also made sure to show her Malay skills, telling fans 'terima kasih (thank you)' and 'aku cinta padamu (I love you)' before ending the concert. Interestingly, yesterday (6th July 2025, Sunday) also marked Della's 18th anniversary as a singer. The star celebrated the occasion with her Malaysian fan club at a local karaoke. She shared a highlight video of the event on her Instagram account and thanked fans for all the love and support over the years. She also shared a few snapshots of her in KL, including photos of her posing with the PETRONAS Twin Towers. It appears the love between Della and her fans is mutual. We hope the star had a great time in KL, and we look forward to her next performance here. In the meantime, here's a look at Della's 18th-anniversary celebration with her Malaysian fans and her performance of 'Masing-Masing': Source: China Press, Facebook, Instagram (1)(2)

K-parenting 101: Don't forget the socks
Leaving the house with a newborn feels like prepping for battle. From bottles, diapers and pacifiers to extra clothes, everything has to be packed like you're never coming back. And once the door opens, it's game on. For South Korean parents, among the countless things to pack, there's one item that must never be forgotten: socks. If you dare to take your baby out without socks, be ready for stares and a flurry of nagging from Korean grandmothers on the street, at the supermarket, or wherever they spot you. In a video posted last month by American YouTuber Della, who has more than 4 million followers, she walked the streets of Seoul with her sockless baby, and Korean grandmothers didn't hold back. Some paused to say the baby must be cold, and one middle-aged woman even bought a brand-new pair of socks from a nearby clothing store and gently slipped them onto the baby's feet. So, why is it that Koreans can't stand to see a baby's feet uncovered? In traditional Korean medicine, feet are seen as an important area where cold air can enter the body and throw off its natural balance. This belief is especially strong when it comes to babies, whose bodies aren't yet able to control their own temperature well. This warmth-centered approach to child care has been passed down through generations, with socks viewed as a first line of defense against illness. So, Korean babies are expected to wear socks everywhere — at home, outside and even in bed. Dear foreign daughters-in-law across Korea, don't be startled by your mother-in-law's sock obsession. It's part tradition, part love. K-parenting 101 is a new series exploring the world of Korean parenting, from unique, sometimes quirky practices to essential baby care tools, shaped by tradition and trend. -- Ed. cjh@

Billy Joel's wife says singer's ‘health has to take priority' after he postponed tour due to medical condition
Billy Joel's wife, Alexis Roderick Joel, is speaking out about her journey with endometriosis. Alexis, who has been married to the 75-year-old rock legend since 2015, struggled with debilitating symptoms, misdiagnoses and failed surgeries for years before later discovering that she was suffering from the frequently misunderstood condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. During the time in which Alexis was battling her then-unknown disease and experiencing chronic pain, she was also raising her two young children and accompanying Billy while he performed at concerts around the world. While speaking with Fox News Digital, Alexis admitted that being on tour with Billy and her children while dealing with the symptoms of endometriosis had been "really rough." "I was doing it, but I was not doing it very well," she said. Alexis continued, "So, especially with kids, if you've ever traveled with children and done a time zone change, that alone is an insane situation. So, if you add in also having a husband, that requires time and attention — you know, he's working, we're not vacationing. And me going through what I'm going through, it was really rough. "Luckily, when he's touring, we have a lot of support, which was really helpful," And it was huge. So I'm lucky in that I do have people to help me. And you have to, because you reach your limit. I mean, there's nothing you can do." Alexis and the "Piano Man' singer share daughters Della, 9, and Remy, 7. Billy is also father to daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 39, whom he shares with his ex-wife Christie Brinkley, 71. Alexis explained that it was an especially challenging time because neither she nor Billy knew what was causing her symptoms. "We all entered this not knowing anything about it, I think as most of us do," she explained. "And it's difficult because I know that I didn't feel well." "And I also know I didn't want him to tell me that I didn't feel well," Alexis continued with a laugh. "Your fuse is very short at that point when you're dealing with two little kids traveling the world and you're in excruciating pain. And every day, you don't know what your day is going to be like, so it's difficult to plan." WATCH: Billy Joel's wife Alexis Joel shares warnings signs of endometriosis "But as time has gone on, he's extremely supportive," she added. "So picking up where I leave off and covering my deficits during that time was huge. We're just always researching — he'll email me articles like 'Did you know that this happens with endometriosis?'" "Never in a million years would I think that he would be sending me that kind of stuff, but when you're watching someone suffer, you pick up. You have to. It's what we do, we're a family." Over the past few months, Billy has been struggling with health challenges of his own. In March, the five-time Grammy Award winner shared a statement on social media in which it was announced that he was postponing eight tour dates due to a "medical condition." "The current tour will be postponed for four months to allow him to recover from recent surgery and to undergo physical therapy under the supervision of his doctors," the statement read. WATCH: Billy Joel's wife Alexis Joel says singer is 'trying to get better' after postponing tour "Joel is expected to make a full recovery. The tour will resume at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on July 5, 2025." Billy shared a personal comment as well, writing, "While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first. I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding." During her interview with Fox News Digital, Alexis shared an update on her husband's health. "He's doing well," she said. "It's funny, I was just having this conversation the other day. He's going to be 76. And I don't think of him that way. People don't think of him in that way, but he is. And he's been doing this job nonstop for 15 years — just this recent run." "With the exception of COVID, he's been working every two weeks for 15-plus years," Alexis continued. "And it's a lot. At 75, 76, there comes a time where you can't always plan out everything you need to do a year and a half in advance, you know? And that's how long these schedules are. That's when you're booking things. You're booking it that long prior." "So, sometimes your health has to take priority, and things have to get postponed," she noted. "But really, in the grand scheme of things, he's a healthy person, and he's well and working on himself, trying to get better and do what he has to do medically. So it's important, you know, we need him around so he has to do what he has to do. I had to do what I had to do. Now he has to do what he has to do." "But at least I'm able to pick up his deficits now, so it's OK." Alexis, who usually stays out of the spotlight, first went public with her health battle in a post shared on Billy's Instagram page during Endometriosis Awareness Month in March. She posted a photo of herself posing with Dr. Tamer Seckin, who she described in the caption as her "earth angel." Seckin is a New York-based gynecologist, laparoscopic surgeon and endometriosis specialist who co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America (EndoFound) with celebrity chef Padma Lakshmi in 2009. In her post, Alexis recalled how she had found Seckin and how he had been able to treat her condition. "We all have war stories, and I am no different: years of pain, misdiagnosis, failed surgeries, followed by internal bleeding, and most importantly, Doctor after Doctor telling me I was fine," Alexis wrote. "I ran the gamut from 'It's all in your head' to 'Just get a hysterectomy.'" She continued, "I had gone to my third ER out of excruciating pain. I was non-functional. This was the moment I just started researching specialists and everything pointed me to him." WATCH: Billy Joel's wife Alexis Joel shares how singer supported during her battle with endometriosis "One surgery later, 27 lesions removed, one less appendix and my entire abdominal cavity rid of this horrible disease. I am forever grateful," Alexis added. "The work he does with The Endometriosis Foundation of America is so important to this battle. They work to raise awareness, implement teaching in schools, and continue his research for the next generation. Our family has privately supported this work, but in honor of March being Endometriosis Awareness Month, I wanted to do my part to help others who are unheard. It is a tough road, but believe in yourself and find your earth angel - they are out there!" On May 1, Billy joined Alexis as she spoke at a press conference to announce the grand opening of the Seckin Endometriosis Center for Women's Health at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). EndoFound and CSHL partnered to establish the center, which was named after Seckin. According to a press release, it is the first dedicated endometriosis research center within a leading U.S. basic science institution. Billy later posted photos from the event on his Instagram page, noting in the caption that the Joel Foundation, which he co-founded with Alexis, supports the work of EndoFound. Endometriosis is estimated to affect more than one in 10 women of reproductive age — over 200 million worldwide. Though surgery can help alleviate pain from endometriosis, symptoms may eventually return. There is currently no cure for endometriosis. During her interview with Fox News Digital, Alexis shared details about the work that will be conducted at the Seckin Endometriosis Center for Women's Health. WATCH: Billy Joel's wife, Alexis Joel, reflects on hardest part of endometriosis battle "Cold Spring Harbor Lab is a location that is world-class in what they do as far as research at a molecular level," she said. By co-founding EndoFound with Lakshmi, Seckin launched the first phase of funding research and education about endometriosis, according to Alexis. "And through his work, surgically, he came upon someone who was affiliated with Cold Spring Harbor Lab. And they began the discussions of placing all his specimens here. And it's actually the perfect location," she said.

Hiranandani, Krisala, Della tie up to develop Rs 550 cr theme township near Pune
Della, which is looking for a listing in over a year now, is looking to sign up 10 such themed townships to be created around themes like adventure, racecourse etc by end of FY26, Mistry said, adding that these will have a revenue potential of Rs 20,000 crore. The township spread over 40 acres has a revenue potential of Rs 1,100 crore, and Della's chairman Jimmy Mistry said the themed development pushes up the receivables by 40 per cent for the builders. Mumbai, May 8 (PTI) Hiranandani Communities, Krisala Developers and Della Resorts and Adventure on Thursday announced a tie-up to build a racecourse-themed township near Pune at a cost of Rs 550 crore. The project near the IT hub of Hinjewadi in Pune will have a 300-room resort, corporate conference and wedding venues and villas along with an 8-acre race course. The 40-acre plot is carved out of a 105-acre township being developed by Hiranandani and Krisala having a revenue potential of Rs 7,000 crore, which will have 10,000 residential units and other facilities such as schools, hospitals and colleges. Mistry said his company keeps 15 per cent of the revenue bookings with itself, and will get 6 per cent of the revenues of the hospitality services over a period of time. In some projects, he also keeps a sweat equity component for the conception, design, marketing and operations of the facility. The company, which has been operating an adventure themed resort near Lonavala has already tied up to bring such facilities in Chennai, Nagpur and Goa, and is on the verge of launching similar themed township in Navi Mumbai, Igatpuri and Indore, among others. The Navi Mumbai facility will be built around the formula one theme, and will have a 5.2-km race track, hotels, hangars and other facilities spread over 275 acres, Mistry said, adding that he is in talks with a UK-based entity to partner for that. He said the F1 facility will be dedicated to autonomous vehicles, and will act as a venue for car shoots rather than as one for races. PTI AA HVA This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
