Stray Kids' Hyunjin's live becomes topic of discussion, fans spot KATSEYE's Sophia and Manon ‘fangirling'
Fourth gen K-pop boy band Stray Kids are known for their talent and visuals. Not just fans, but fellow industry colleagues often appreciate their tough choreography, musical prowess and good looks. Recently, two of KATSEYE members were spotted fangirling over Hyunjin by fans during a live broadcast of the latter. Though the idol missed it, it didn't escape fans' eyes. They quickly captured the moment and circulated it online. Hyunjin presented raw visuals during live broadcast Stray Kids member Hwang Hyunjin, popularly known mononymously as Hyunjin, did a live broadcast on June 5, featuring his effortless chic look. He sported a casual black t-shirt and bare-faced look, complemented with silver earrings. The live event delighted the fans, with many thanking him for the sudden opportunity to reconnect with him. Comments like "this made my whole day fill with so much happiness" flooded the internet. His raw visuals, devoid of makeup, was appreciated not just by fans but by fellow artists. KATSEYE's Sophia and Manon spotted during Hyunjin's live In an unexpected event, fans spotted two celebrities in the comment section of Hyunjin's live. It was HYBE LABELS' Gnarly Sophia and Manon. The duo had their fangirl mode on as they shared their reaction to Hyunjin's beauty. Both of them wrote "omg" in the comments of the live broadcast, getting fans into a frenzy. Being a global girl group, KATSEYE is subsequently free from the extreme scrutiny faced by K-pop artists. Hence, they are often seen expressing their appreciation for other artists freely. This incident was one of them. Check out fan reactions to Sophia and Manon fangirling over Hyunjin Fans found the KATSEYE members' reaction extremely relatable, stating "they're so real." They also noted how the duo wrote the comments just 5 minutes after Hyunjin's live started, showcasing their love for the artist. Some others felt that it would have been amazing if they joined Hyunjin's live show as well. One fan even jokingly said that "it would have been gnarlyyyy" if they did so, giving a clever nod to the girl group's viral song. Another X-user wrote, "Pretty girls are stay (Stray Kids' fandom)", showcasing that they accept Sophia and Manon as part of the squad. However, their desire for a Stray Kids X KATSEYE interaction remained unfulfilled as Hyunjin most probably missed their girls' comments.

Watch: Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds kisses Palestinian flag on stage, sparks firestorm
Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds sparks firestorm after kissing Palestinian flag on stage Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds has ignited a fierce online backlash after kissing a Palestinian flag on stage during the band's May 27 performance in Milan, part of their Loom World Tour. Reynolds, shirtless and visibly emotional, draped himself in the flag during the show's closing moments, waving it before tens of thousands of cheering fans and planting a kiss on it. The act, captured in multiple fan videos, immediately sparked mixed reactions across social media, with some hailing it as a bold statement of solidarity and others condemning it as a political provocation. Outrage and accusations Critics slammed Reynolds' move, accusing the band of aligning with extremism. Brigitte Gabriel, chairman of ACT for America, posted on X, "It looks like the band Imagine Dragons supports terrorism." Other users voiced similar sentiments, interpreting the flag display as a betrayal. "I actually really liked Imagine Dragons, but now it seems they genuinely hate my people. It's disgusting how people still view Palestine as a moral virtue when it's all a myth," one pro-Israel fan wrote. One particularly heated post accused the band of hypocrisy for advocating LGBTQ+ rights while allegedly supporting a territory where such rights are not protected, "Imagine Dragons ends their concert by waving their solidarity with TERRORISTS. They just called for the deaths of all gay people — and their music career." Support from pro-Palestinian fans Despite the backlash, many fans applauded the gesture. "Very nice to see more people showing support,' one Palestinian X-user wrote. Another viral post described the moment as a 'powerful gesture.' Comedian Matt Lieb chimed in with a tongue-in-cheek comment, 'Omg Radiohead has now been lapped by IMAGINE DRAGONS?!?' — referencing Thom Yorke's decision to walk off stage after a confrontation with an anti-Israel protestor last year. A complicated history This isn't the first time Imagine Dragons has found itself in the middle of the Israel-Palestine debate. The band previously faced criticism from pro-Palestinian activists for performing in Tel Aviv on August 29, 2023, just weeks before the October 7th Hamas attacks that escalated regional tensions. That same Milan concert also featured Reynolds waving a Ukrainian flag earlier in the evening, adding to the politically symbolic performance.

Cardinals are ‘raw dogging' the conclave, CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil bizarrely says on live TV
A CBS anchor bizarrely said Catholic Cardinals were 'raw dogging' the conclave in a cringe-inducing characterization of the strict sequester for clergymen that bans, among other things, cellphones. 'CBS Mornings' co-host Tony Dokoupil made the forced faux pas as a correspondent explained how the Cardinals pass the time while they are sequestered in the Sistine Chapel for rounds of voting during the solemn ritual. 'The one thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated,' CBS News Papal Contributor John Allen said, stating that the clergymen will read from prayer books and silently pray during downtime. 'I believe the kids call that 'raw dogging,' if you're going to go a long period of time with no electronic device,' Dokoupil said. 'Oh right,' a co-anchor said, apparently enlightened. The term 'raw dogging' has recently been reappropriated to refer to time spent without modern comforts or gadgets — often used in reference to air travel — however, it is conventionally understood to be a reference to unprotected sex. The Gen-Z-inspired, inappropriately timed innuendo from the 44-year-old anchor rubbed plenty of viewers the wrong way. 'You know it's a weird timeline when CBS is casually using 'rawdogging' to describe the College of Cardinals,' one user wrote on X. 'We just witnessed the exact moment CBS stopped pretending they had standards,' another tweeted, adding, 'Rawdoggin the conclave is WILD.' 'What a great news station to employ people that make grotesque statements during one of the largest ceremonial events in Catholicism,' an angry X-user posted. During the conclave, Cardinals are 'sequestered' from the outside world — cut off entirely from communication while they remain in the Vatican for the duration of the papal conclave. That includes access to cell phones or any other means of contact with the world outside the conclave. CBS's Dokoupil was most recently in the news for his viral interview with Bill Belichick, 73, which was disrupted by the legendary coach's 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, who told the anchor the couple wouldn't answer some of his questions.
