(Video) The Funny Reason Why Local Emcee Hani Fadzil Introduced GOT7's Bambam To Her Husband
Many of our local emcees and hosts have become close acquaintances with the international celebrities they've worked with for events. Radio announcer Hani Fadzil is one of those hosts, and she recently shared an adorable interaction between GOT7 (갓세븐) member Bambam (뱀뱀) and her husband. Last week, Hani flew to Bangkok, Thailand, to host an event featuring GOT7 member Bambam. The emcee revealed that the K-pop idol and his team had personally asked her to host the gig, noting their great chemistry because Hani had hosted several events for Bambam in Malaysia. The event went smoothly, and the 33-year-old received lots of praise for her hosting skills and on-stage interactions with Bambam. However, the most adorable interaction came after the event when Hani officially introduced Bambam to her husband, Faiz. In her Twitter post, she wrote, 'Finally got to officially introduce my husband to Bambam backstage! He was very welcoming, and it felt like we were long-time friends. Thanks, BamBam, for always being so warm and humble. See you next time!'. As it turns out, the meeting was long in planning. It all started in 2023 when Bambam learned about Hani and Faiz's marriage during his concert press conference in Kuala Lumpur. The Thai star even went viral for his humorous reaction. However, from then on, Bambam would bring up Hani's husband every time they met in person. Even during the recent event in Bangkok, the singer joked that he and Faiz would one day become best friends. Many fans and netizens have reacted to Bambam and Faiz's long-awaited meeting, cooing over the interaction. Some quipped that Hani and Bambam had gotten close enough for the emcee to introduce her family to the idol. Others also joked that Hani should worry because Bambam will 'steal' her husband now that they've met. On the other hand, some wished Bambam and Faiz all the best in their growing friendship. It's heartwarming to see Hani and Bambam grow closer over the years, and we hope to see them working together again soon. As for Bambam and Faiz, we also hope they'll become the best of friends.

Singer Ju Haknyeon Claims Former Agency One Hundred Forced Him To Leave THE BOYZ
It looks like former THE BOYZ (더보이즈) member Ju Haknyeon (주학년) is standing his ground against the recent allegations made towards him. The K-pop idol will also take action against several parties, including his former label, One Hundred. Last week, the idol faced rumours of engaging in prostitution after being spotted drinking with Japanese influencer Asuka Kirara. In response to the allegations, Ju Haknyeon's now-former label, One Hundred, announced the termination of his exclusive contract and his departure from THE BOYZ. Ju Haknyeon would later share a brief statement denying the prostitution allegations. However, over the weekend, the 26-year-old shockingly announced his decision to take legal action against One Hundred for unlawful termination. In his statement, Ju Haknyeon claimed that the agency had forced him to sign a termination agreement and demanded over KEW 2 billion (approximately RM6.1 million) in damages. After refusing the demands, One Hundred announced the singer's departure from his group and the label. One Hundred denied Ju Haknyeon's claims, even mentioning a specific reason for terminating his exclusive contract. Following this, Japanese news outlet Shukan Bunshun released alleged photos of the idol and Asuka. Korean news outlet Dispatch also released its own exposé, alleging that Ju Haknyeon spent the night with Asuka and bragged about it to his groupmates. The exposé also claimed that the vocalist had agreed to leave the group but changed his mind. Following these allegations, Ju Haknyeon released another statement to reinstate his innocence. In the new statement, the idol also alleges that someone is trying to frame him for something he didn't do, noting the suspiciously 'planned' revelations from news outlets. Additionally, Ju Haknyeon is taking legal action against news outlets for defamation. He said he would continue fighting to reveal the truth and clear his name. The public's reaction to the situation remains mixed. However, fans continue supporting Ju Haknyeon, hoping he can clear his name. We also hope that justice will prevail and the truth will reveal itself. What are your thoughts on this?
