Miriam Yeung, Joey Yung and Nancy Wu among celebs seen at Lady Gaga's Singapore concerts, Entertainment News
Hong Kong celebrities Nancy Wu, Joey Yung and Miriam Yeung are among the latest handful of stars who attended Lady Gaga concerts in Singapore, which concluded yesterday (May 24).
Mother Monster, as Gaga is affectionately known to fans, performed four shows at the National Stadium on May 18, 19, 21 and 24.
Other stars who were spotted during her earlier two performances included Gigi Leung, K-pop girl group Babymonster, Simon Yam and Elva Hsiao.
The string of celeb sightings is perhaps no surprise, considering that Singapore was Gaga's only Asian stop in her Mayhem world tour.
Actress-singer Nancy posted about the exhilarating performance today: "I'm so happy to have experienced your powerful vocals live, it was a very artistic concert! Amazing!"
The 43-year-old also remarked, like other concert-goers had noted, that the experience was "a sweat-filled one" both on- and off-stage.

Singer Joey evidently had a great time as well, with videos that she posted to her social media on May 24 showing her energetically grooving and bopping to Gaga's hit, Born This Way.
Her hyperactivity though, might have been borne of a sleep-depraved mind.

In her post, the 44-year-old indicated that she'd caught a red-eye flight straight after wrapping her own Eternity concerts in Macau to catch Gaga live.
"Unfortunately the endorphins in my body wouldn't let me nap on the plane but it didn't dampen my mood at all," she wrote, praising Gaga's "absolutely breathtaking" performance.
"She is truly one of a kind, and gave her all from start to finish," Joey added.
What was a bummer, though, was losing her brand-new pair of sunglasses she'd purchased specially for the occasion.
"I miss my beautiful red shades that I'd just bought for Lady Gaga," said Joey, who stated in an Instagram Story (IGS) that she last had the Gentle Monster shades at the airport.
"Thank god my head is stuck to my body otherwise I may need to find it at 'lost and found'," she joked in another IGS.
Besides Joey and Nancy, Xiaohongshu users also caught glimpses of other celebs such as Miriam and Taiwanese singer-actor Jiro Wang.
Veteran actress-singer Miriam, 51, was captured by an excited fan seated one row behind who took multiple photos and videos of and with the star. Miriam Yeung 'harassed' by excited fan
Miriam, who appeared to be accompanied by her husband Real Ting, was seated among the audience and not in the VIP box on May 21.
While she remained polite and agreed to a selfie, the fan's over-zealous demeanour — she was captured by other concert-goers continuously pointing her camera at Miriam at close range — raised the ire of some netizens.
Wrote one user: "Although she (Miriam) is a singer, she's also a concert-goer. She ended up being harassed, it's annoying to watch."
The fan's post has reportedly been deleted.
Besides these Hong Kong celebrities, former Fahrenheit band member Jiro Wang, 43, was also spotted in the crowd.
Based on photos captured by fans, the Taiwanese singer-actor was believed to have attended the concert on Saturday.
"He was surrounded by many people asking for a photo. He's very nice," wrote one Xiaohongshu user.

BTS member Suga discharged from South Korean military service
K-pop group BTS member Suga finished his military tenure as a social service agent on June 21. PHOTO: AGUSTD/INSTAGRAM SEOUL - K-pop group BTS member Suga was discharged from the South Korean military on June 21 , the seventh and final member to complete the country's mandatory national service amid expectations of the band's comeback from a hiatus. Suga finished his military tenure as a social service agent on June 21 with little fanfare as fans looked forward to his reunion with the rest of the band, a K-pop sensation since it started up in 2013. 'We confirm that Suga effectively completed his alternative service on June 18 by using his remaining leave. His official discharge date is June 21,' BTS' label, Big Hit Music, said in a statement. Unlike with his BTS bandmates, there was no public event planned to mark Suga's release because of overcrowding concerns. The seven members of the group put their global music careers on hold in 2022 to begin their military service, starting with Jin in December that year. South Korea's mandatory national service can be for terms of up to 18 months. Shortly after his official discharge, Suga posted a message on fan community platform Weverse, saying he was 'sorry for the disappointment and concern caused by what happened last year', and also apologising to his bandmates. In 2024, Suga was fined 15 million won (S$14,037) by a court for drunk driving while on an electric scooter. The group is expected to hold its largest-ever world tour in 2026, an NH Securities entertainment analyst said in a report. Entertainment group HYBE, which manages BTS, is closely monitored by securities companies. Details of a reunion have not been released.

NewJeans' Danielle attends Omega event in Japan with Ador staff
SEOUL – K-pop girl group NewJeans' Danielle was spotted at an event in Japan accompanied by staff from her agency Ador, a first since the girl group took legal action against the company. The 20-year-old Korean-Australian singer was in Kyoto, Japan, on June 18 to attend Swiss luxury watchmaker Omega's product launch for its new Aqua Terra 30mm collection. Also at the event were celebrities such as American model Ashley Graham, Nigerian singer Tems, American singer-actress Ariana DeBose and British actress Marisa Abela. Danielle, whose full name is Danielle Marsh, appeared at the event as a global ambassador of the brand, which she has endorsed since 2024. According to officials quoted by South Korean news outlet Sports Chosun, the event was part of Danielle's endorsement commitments, which had been planned way in advance by Ador. NewJeans also comprise Minji, 21; Hanni, 20; Haerin, 19; and Hyein, 17. The girl group have been in conflict with Ador since November 2024, when the members unilaterally declared they had terminated their contracts with the agency, citing a breach of trust. Since then, the group have attempted to operate independently under the name NJZ. The Seoul High Court on June 17 rejected an appeal filed by NewJeans , which challenged an injunction that barred them from independently signing advertising contracts or pursuing entertainment work without Ador's prior approval. The court's decision upheld a previous ruling in favour of Ador, a label under K-pop conglomerate Hybe, reinforcing its claim that the girl group's exclusive contracts remain valid. July marks three years since NewJeans' debut. THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
