#SHOWBIZ: Bella Astillah: It's an honour to meet Lee Min-ho
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer and actress Bella Astillah, 31, is delighted to finally meet one of her idols, South Korean actor Lee Min-ho.
The 31-year-old Sabahan artiste spent RM500 to join a recent contest to meet and greet the South Korean star.
In an interview with Harian Metro yesterday, Bella said that the contest was organised as part of a campaign by a product for which he was a brand ambassador.
"I've been a long-time fan of Min-ho, so when the opportunity to meet and greet him came, I quickly bought products worth RM500," said Bella.
Bella's good friend, Muar Member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman, however, felt that her move was a "waste of money" at a time when the cost of living was on the rise.
"I told him it could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so it was worth it," said Bella, who shed tears of joy when she finally won her ticket to meet Min-ho.

DJ SODA Shares Heartbreaking Hair Disaster; Alleges Threats From Salon Following Fans' Protest
Colouring your hair can be an exciting experience, but it does come with risks. The bleaching process, in particular, can be harmful and may lead to various negative effects if not done correctly. This is why K-pop fans often express concern for their idols, as many of them change hair colour with every comeback. Even if you stick to one hair colour, the process of touching up your roots still carries some risk. Unfortunately for South Korean DJ Hwang So-hee (황소희), aka DJ SODA, her recent hair treatment didn't turn out as well as she had hoped. Earlier this week, DJ SODA posted about her recent visit to her regular hair salon to dye her hair blonde for the first time in 3 years. It was meant to be a surprise for her fans, but unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when the salon accidentally left the bleach on for too long. 'My hair was originally thick, full, and in healthy condition thanks to a 3-year break from bleaching and consistent care. But they left the bleach on for too long, and my hair melted from the roots. In the end, I had to shave the entire back and sides of my head,' she said. The musician went on to explain that the damage was so severe, she could no longer hide it when attending events and shows. She felt devastated as her hair continued to fall out in large handfuls every day, to the point where she had trouble sleeping for two weeks. 'I cried every day. It's really hard for me to look in the mirror. When I see videos fans took of me, I feel even more heartbroken,' she added. Unfortunately, due to the extent of the damage, she was unable to get hair extensions to cover the bald spots and could only use what's left of her natural hair to conceal them. After sharing the news with her fans, many reportedly began protesting outside the hair salon. This led the management to contact DJ SODA in an attempt at damage control. However, rather than offering an apology, the company demanded that she take down the post. 'I received a message directed at my manager saying, 'I will give you 5 million won if you write a settlement agreement and take down the post.' [I want to make it clear that], even if I were offered a fortune, it cannot change my appearance now or undo the pain caused by this,' she said in a follow-up post. DJ Soda explained that the salon had offered to provide a list of hospitals (under their supervision) where she could receive hair treatment. However, despite repeated reminders, they failed to follow through on their promise. She did not disclose whether she plans to take legal action, but if her claims are true, the salon could be in serious trouble for damaging the hair of a public figure.

K-pop singer Ju Hak-nyeon denies paying for sex
South Korean singer Ju Hak-nyeon was reported to have had a personal meeting with a Japanese adult film actress-turned-influencer. Photo: Ju Hak-nyeon/Instagram South Korean singer Ju Hak-nyeon has admitted in a letter of apology to meeting a former Japanese adult actress, but denied rumours of being involved in prostitution activities. The apology on June 19 came after he was booted from K-pop boy band The Boyz on June 18. His agency One Hundred Label had announced on June 16 that the 26-year-old would be taking a break for personal reasons, without providing details. A Japanese media outlet then reported that Ju had a personal meeting with a Japanese adult film actress-turned-influencer, who is 11 years his senior, in Tokyo. The outlet added that he had allegedly paid for sex with the woman. One Hundred Label announced on June 18 that Ju will leave The Boyz and that his exclusive contract with the agency has been terminated. On June 19, Ju uploaded a handwritten letter on social media, in which he apologised for his behaviour. He admitted that he had a drink with an actress, along with acquaintances, in May. But he said he did not pay for sex, insisting that he had not committed any illegal acts. The Boyz, originally a 12-man act, debuted in 2017 with the EP The First. One member, Hwall, departed in October 2019 and the band released their first studio album, Reveal, in 2020. They launched their third studio album, Unexpected , in March. It was the band's first release since signing with One Hundred Label in late 2024 after leaving management company IST Entertainment. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
