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.

Max Mara's resort 2026 collection is an ode to womanhood and Italian heritage Vogue Singapore
Under the vaulted grandeur of La Reggia di Caserta, Max Mara set the stage for a visual feast celebrating women through the cinematic lens of Italian culture: ornate, historic, and deeply Italian. The mood? Cascading marble staircases and gilded ceilings—the perfect backdrop for the its resort 2026 collection—a considered tribute to Naples and to the evolving codes of womanhood the brand has dressed since its founding. And to add to the shimmer of the evening, a lineup of stars showed up, including the likes of Alexa Chung and South Korean actress Lee Sung Kyung. Lee Sung Kyung at the Max Mara resort 2026 show.

German Larkin Griffith's vision encapsulated elements of the brand's past, seen especially through archival references trickled throughout the collection. Starting with a collaboration that reaches into the heart of Neapolitan craft—in partnership with tie maker E. Marinella, Max Mara reinterprets vintage cravatte prints across silk pyjamas and oversized cashmere sweaters. Rendered on soft, fluid silhouettes, the motifs offer a modish expression of familiar codes—connecting storied heritage to the sartorial culture of the moment. Max Mara's 2026 resort collection was unveiled at the grand La Reggia di Caserta. Courtesy of Max Mara There's also an earthy sense of charm that runs through the entire collection—sun-faded pinks, powdery blue, off-white, and muted tobacco. Silhouette play was also apparent in the ensembles: f ull circle skirts came with lozenge-shaped pockets that jutted out slightly, lending a sculptural dimension to the silhouette, while some were paired with portrait-collared tops and matching strapless bras. There's a certain playfulness, too, in the rolled-up shorts—referencing Silvana Mangano's turn in Riso Amaro—reimagined with a polished, intentional edge. The tailoring shifts throughout, but the coats are a steady anchor—Belted, shawl-collared, funnel-necked, or fringed, they speak to the luxury brand's core—practical yet always poised. The range also sees a quiet contrast between ornament and architecture: strapless gowns in dense panno scattered with crystals, their silhouettes underpinned by boned silk gauze bodices that peek just above the neckline. The cherished Whitney Bag returns to the runway, reinterpreted in four new editions for the season. Courtesy of Max Mara Accessories extend that duality of refinement and utility. The Whitney Bag, a cherished silhouette since 2015, returns in four new editions, sculpted with cleaner lines and softened curves. Another standout accessory seen on the runway were silk scarves, printed with Marinella's reinterpreted archival designs, offering a more intimate and meaningful detail to any look. Together, these elements sketch a portrait of a woman who is empowered by history—a visual representation of Italian culture, heritage and cinema.

Not nominated for Star Awards' Best Audio Personality but Dennis Chew says The Breakfast Quartet 'should be confident of ourselves'
They've won Best Radio Programme for four years consecutively, but the four DJs in local radio station Love 972's The Breakfast Quartet were surprisingly left out of the Best Audio Personality nominations in Star Awards 2025. Two of the DJs, Dennis Chew and Mark Lee, told AsiaOne in a recent interview that it's not something they worry about. The other two DJs in the team are Marcus Chin and Chen Biyu. Mark, 56, shared: "I feel that the main reason for us not being nominated is because the judges have different preferences for the styles that each DJ presents. "It could be a coincidence that this year's judges are a little 'stricter', so 'innocent and cute' DJs like us are not nominated. But it's okay, because the judges are different every year." Dennis, 51, said: "I feel that it doesn't matter whether we are nominated or not. Most importantly, we should be confident of ourselves, just like how the four of us feel that we are good enough and that's sufficient." The nominees this year are Yes 933 DJs Chen Ning, Hazelle Teo, Kenneth Chung and Zhu Zeliang as well as Capital 958 DJ Pan Jia Biao. In response to queries from AsiaOne, a Mediacorp spokesperson said that as with all Star Awards' programme and performance awards, the nominees for Best Audio Personality are determined by a panel consisting of industry veterans and established media practitioners who would evaluate everyone who is eligible with a standard set of criteria. They added: "Given how competitive this award is, not being nominated in any given year does not necessarily take away from the calibre of their work nor their popularity. "The Breakfast Quartet remains a contender in the Best Radio Programme category, testament to the enduring excellence the show continues to deliver daily." The quartet won the above category for four consecutive years from 2021 to 2024. This year, Dennis' programme Mr Zhou's Ghost Stories is also in the running. On whether they feel pressured to continue winning the award this year, both of them said the achievement doesn't affect their emotions. Dennis shared: "To be honest, we didn't expect to go on stage to receive the award. It's a surprise to us every year. So whether or not there is any surprise this year, we would feel the same way." "If we can receive it for another year, it's the best, but even if we didn't get it this year, it's okay also. Most importantly, it's whether the judges like it or not, because the judges are different every year. If we are awarded again this year, then 'Oh dear, we are the first again!'" Mark quipped. Both Mark and Dennis received their All-Time Favourite Artiste award in 2010 and 2022 respectively. The award is given to artistes who have won the Top 10 Most Popular Artiste honour 10 times. When asked which artistes they wish to see joining them at the 'altar', Dennis shared that he hopes actor-host Guo Liang — who has been in local showbiz for three decades — would bag the award soon, because he "truly deserves it". For Mark, it would be Marcus, 70, who debuted in local showbiz in the 1970s. He quipped: "I looked at his fortunes before and concluded he can live till about 95 years old, so if he receives his 10th Top 10 award before 90 and goes up the 'altar', I think it's not bad because he is really very hardworking." You can vote for the Star Awards Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes from now till July 6, 7.30pm on the Mediacorp website. Voters can make up to 10 votes per account, per award category, per day. On July 6 from 12am to 7.30pm, voters can make unlimited votes for each category. Star Awards 2025 will be presented on July 6, starting from Backstage Live at 3.30pm to 10.30pm, Walk of Fame from 5pm to 6.30pm, the awards show from 7pm to 10pm and Post-Party from 10pm to 10.30pm. Backstage Live will air on Mewatch and the Mediacorp Entertainment YouTube channel, while Walk of Fame and the awards show will air on Channel 8, Channel U, Mewatch and the Mediacorp Entertainment YouTube channel.
