Be The Next Face Of UBERMEN With The Men’s PlayBook Challenge Vol.2!

Kim Soo-hyun, one of South Korea&rsquo;s most prominent actors and highest-paid advertisement models, is facing intense backlash over allegations concerning his past relationship with the late actress Kim Sae-ron. Despite his repeated denials, the controversy has significantly impacted his career, particularly in the advertising sector, where major brands are reevaluating their partnerships with him.
The &ldquo;Queen of Tears&rdquo; actor, who reportedly earns an estimated KRW50 billion (~RM152 million) annually from endorsements, has seen several brands take steps to distance themselves from him. Companies like K2 Korea and Shabu All Day have removed promotional materials featuring him, while cosmetics company Dinto has suspended all scheduled activities involving the star. Additionally, CJ Foodville, which engaged Kim as the face of Tous Les Jours in September 2024, has chosen not to renew his contract, set to expire at the end of March 2025.
Brands Under Pressure to Cut Ties
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/025e859e6f3fd52389b48b67a18e6e2f6e5620a67a79557b38a27610ff4a6447" />
As of 12th March 2025, Kim Soo-hyun remains a brand ambassador for 18 major companies, including Eider, Homeplus, Shinhan Bank, Prada, and Jo Malone London. However, growing public scrutiny and concerns over brand image have placed these partnerships under strain, with many companies facing pressure to sever ties.
Advertising industry insiders warn that breaches of contract due to morality clauses could result in severe financial penalties. Given Kim Soo-hyun&rsquo;s high endorsement fees&mdash;typically around KRW1 billion (~RM3 million) per company&mdash;experts estimate that the total penalties he may face could amount to KRW20 billion (~RM61 million). His reputation in the endorsement industry had already been affected by his military enlistment, and this ongoing controversy has further jeopardized his standing.
The Allegations and Timeline
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b794ada45c0d002209d55ab7d108850f72dfd62ed27f23f420345b0d9e46cb23" />
The controversy initially erupted following claims that Kim Soo-hyun had been romantically involved with Kim Sae-ron when she was underage. These allegations gained traction when the YouTube channel HoverLab shared purported photos of the two together, allegedly taken when Kim Sae-ron was just 15.
On 13th March 2025, the media outlet &ldquo;Sports Kyunghyang&rdquo; published a critical article comparing Kim Soo-hyun&rsquo;s handling of the situation to past scandals, such as Ko Joon-hee&rsquo;s involvement in the &ldquo;Burning Sun&rdquo; controversy. The report suggested that Kim Soo-hyun&rsquo;s silence worsened the public reaction. Furthermore, netizens accused the actor of media manipulation, particularly as he owns his management company, GoldMedalist, and alleged that he used other celebrities as shields to deflect criticism.
Financial Dispute with Kim Sae-ron
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2182601e02ceae3123aa7f2e7799d11b72da9b81c0d0c7c42c0de425f566dadc" />
Adding further complexity to the controversy are reports of a financial dispute between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron before her tragic passing in February 2025. Allegedly, Kim Sae-ron owed KRW700 million (~RM2.1 million) due to damages related to her previous drunk driving incident. Reports claim that Kim Soo-hyun and his agency pressured her to repay this debt, leading to significant emotional distress.
Kim Sae-ron&rsquo;s family revealed that she had sent a desperate message to Kim Soo-hyun in March 2024, pleading for more time to repay the amount. &ldquo;Oppa, it&rsquo;s me, Sae-ron. I received the payment notice&hellip; Please, I beg you, just give me some time,&rdquo; the message read. Allegedly, Kim Soo-hyun ignored her repeated calls, and when she attempted to contact him through her cousin&rsquo;s phone, the number was leaked to entertainment reporters, resulting in unwanted media attention for her family.
Additionally, a viral comment in a live chat suggested that actor Won Bin had been willing to cover Kim Sae-ron&rsquo;s debt, which further fueled public criticism of Kim Soo-hyun. Many netizens expressed disappointment, questioning why a wealthy actor like Kim Soo-hyun would insist on legal action despite his significant financial resources.
GoldMedalist&rsquo;s Response and Official Statement
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7a832a2bd3cbe09f501211e105cab646c9a5596b17848421b1d19fd57ed2d4d8" />
Facing increasing backlash, Kim Soo-hyun&rsquo;s agency, GoldMedalist, issued an official statement on 13th March 2025, ahead of schedule. The agency confirmed that Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron had been in a relationship but only between summer 2019 and autumn 2020, after she had legally reached adulthood.
&ldquo;It is not true that Kim Soo-hyun dated Kim Sae-ron when she was a minor,&rdquo; the statement declared. The agency also denied claims that Kim Soo-hyun had pressured her to repay any debts, stating that GoldMedalist had covered the amount as an &ldquo;uncollectible accounts expense.&rdquo; To support this, they cited a letter from Kim Sae-ron&rsquo;s legal representative, dated March 2024, which acknowledged the agency&rsquo;s financial assistance.
GoldMedalist further dismissed speculation that financial stress over the debt played a role in Kim Sae-ron&rsquo;s tragic passing, calling such accusations &ldquo;an unreasonable and excessively malicious claim.&rdquo; However, despite this statement, public opinion remained divided, with many questioning whether the agency&rsquo;s response came too late to salvage Kim Soo-hyun&rsquo;s reputation.
Kim Soo-hyun&rsquo;s Psychological Struggles and Future Prospects
Amid the ongoing controversy, reports suggest that Kim Soo-hyun is experiencing significant psychological distress. GoldMedalist disclosed that the actor has been struggling with &ldquo;severe psychological instability&rdquo; as he faces accusations of having played a role in Kim Sae-ron&rsquo;s downfall. The pressure has reportedly intensified, with individuals even gathering outside GoldMedalist&rsquo;s offices, adding to the actor&rsquo;s stress.
As public backlash continues to mount, Kim Soo-hyun&rsquo;s future in the entertainment industry hangs in the balance. With major brands reconsidering their partnerships and his public image under fire, the coming months will be critical in determining whether he can recover from this scandal or if his career will take a lasting hit. Whether he can reclaim his position as one of South Korea&rsquo;s most sought-after stars remains to be seen.
Kim Soo-hyun faces an uphill battle in rebuilding his reputation, and recovering from this controversy won&rsquo;t be an easy feat. While his acting talent remains widely acknowledged, lingering concerns about his past interactions with underage celebrities and athletes have only added to the scrutiny surrounding him.

Kim Soo-hyun Faces Industry Fallout Amidst Controversy Over Past Relationship

As Ramadan approaches each year, many Malaysians eagerly anticipate the return of cooking videos from beloved content creator and entrepreneur Khairul Aming (KA). Known for his easy-to-follow, delicious recipes, KA has built a loyal following of home cooks who rely on his guidance to prepare festive dishes during the holy month.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6b8c6a0de6c3a52d57411ebb90985f79b4f16b4349f2b1fe5a465fe90229730b" />
His signature style&mdash;clear instructions, accessible ingredients, and a warm, engaging personality&mdash;makes his videos a staple in many households. Whether it&rsquo;s a rich, flavourful sambal or a comforting traditional dish, his recipes inspire both seasoned cooks and beginners alike.
However, with every new recipe release, a familiar and humorous trend emerges&mdash;fans attempting to recreate his dishes, only to produce results that range from slightly off to completely unrecognisable. While some successfully replicate his meals, others end up with burnt, broken, or hilariously disastrous versions, much to the amusement of social media users.
Cooking Fails Go Viral Again
This year, the trend resurfaced in full force, with TikTok once again flooded with videos of KA&rsquo;s fans documenting their cooking struggles. One particular clip, posted on KA&rsquo;s own TikTok account (@khairulaming), gained widespread attention after showcasing a fan&rsquo;s attempt at his recipe that had gone horribly wrong.
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@khairulaming/video/7481034447186332946" data-video-id="7481034447186332946">

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>
&nbsp;
In the video, a home-cooked dish&mdash;meant to be golden and appetising&mdash;ended up completely burnt and unrecognisable. The clip then cut to KA&rsquo;s reaction, where he sat in silence, his expression one of pure exhaustion, as though he had accepted his fate of watching his recipes repeatedly &lsquo;betrayed&rsquo; year after year.
To add to the hilarity, KA then played a melancholic recording on his laptop, featuring solemn background music and a religious sermon that stated, "Allah does not test His servants beyond their abilities." His reaction perfectly captured the mix of amusement and disbelief that he&mdash;and his followers&mdash;experience every Ramadan as this trend inevitably plays out.
Fans Join in on the Banter
The video instantly went viral, drawing waves of laughter from fans who flooded the comments with jokes and playful remarks. Some sympathised with KA&rsquo;s mock frustration, while others teased him about how he should be used to this annual tradition by now. The lighthearted banter only fuelled the trend further, with more and more people joining in by posting their own failed attempts.
&ldquo;Every year, same thing. Khairul Aming should have a &lsquo;Resepi Derhaka&rsquo; (recipe betrayal) segment by now.&rdquo;
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:

Despite his exaggerated reaction in the viral video, KA later admitted that he actually enjoys seeing people attempt his recipes&mdash;even when they go disastrously wrong.
In another TikTok post (@khairulamingfans_), he reflected on the ongoing trend, saying:
"After eight years of making cooking videos, I think this year has been the most entertaining. Watching so many people get into the kitchen and try my recipes&mdash;even if they don&rsquo;t turn out as expected&mdash;is really fun."
He also addressed the common assumption that most people fail to follow his recipes, clarifying that this isn&rsquo;t actually the case.
"Actually, the majority of people get it right! Thousands successfully make the dishes. But the ones that go wrong? Those are the ones that end up going viral because they get the most engagement. People keep asking, 'Why did it burn? Why did it explode? Why did it leak?'"
Every Mistake Is a Learning Process
KA reassured his fans that kitchen mishaps are a natural part of learning how to cook and encouraged them to keep trying.
"These are all great first steps, so keep going! Even if you fail, just post it&mdash;I&rsquo;ll probably repost it too," he said with a laugh.
Despite the countless failed attempts flooding his timeline, KA remained appreciative of his followers for supporting his content and taking the time to try his recipes. He ended with one final piece of advice&mdash;half-joking, half-serious:
"But please, I beg you&mdash;don&rsquo;t disobey the recipe!"
Cooking is a wonderful skill, but before diving into anything fancy, it's always best to master the basics first. Now, the real question is&mdash;will Khairul Aming ever start a series dedicated to his fans' hilarious cooking mishaps?
We can only hope! What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Khairul Aming’s Ramadan Struggles: His Hilarious Reaction To Fans’ Epic Cooking Fail

Living in the bustling metropolis of Kuala Lumpur, we can all appreciate the city&rsquo;s charm. However, amidst its beauty, there are neglected spaces&mdash;abandoned structures and poorly maintained infrastructure&mdash;that can be an eyesore.
Fortunately, local artists have stepped in to transform these overlooked areas, replacing vandalism with vibrant street art that breathes new life into the city. Their efforts not only add colour but also enhance Kuala Lumpur&rsquo;s unique character. Yet, it seems not everyone shares their enthusiasm, as some of their work has faced opposition from the authorities.

Recently, Malaysian street artist Cloakwork recently expressed his disappointment on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHF3IogycmB/?img_index=1">social media</a> after discovering that his murals on several old bus stops in Kuala Lumpur had been painted over. His work, which aimed to revitalise neglected public spaces, was removed by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL), sparking public debate over the decision.
Cloakwork is celebrated for his ability to transform dull, urban spaces into striking, vibrant murals. In late 2024, he took it upon himself to restore a number of derelict bus stops across the city. These stops were originally constructed with attached mini-shops that provided underprivileged individuals a space to sell snacks and beverages to commuters. However, as Kuala Lumpur modernised, these mini-shops disappeared, leaving behind shelters that fell into neglect&mdash;graffiti-covered, litter-strewn, and largely abandoned.
A Labour of Love&mdash;Erased Overnight
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/3c8c8600cad83086d44a4bd42ebed6ec82173be164e20c58d89715194a18ebbc" />
While many saw decay, Cloakwork saw potential. Using his artistic talents, he brought life back to these forgotten spaces with vibrant murals that immediately captured public admiration. For months, his artwork brightened the cityscape, adding character to the urban environment and providing a fresh perspective on these once-forgotten structures.
However, earlier this month, Cloakwork was shocked to find that his murals had been completely erased, with the bus stops returned to their dull, neglected state. The artist took to Instagram to voice his frustration, directly addressing DBKL:
&ldquo;Dear DBKL Malaysia, why did you remove my art? These old-fashioned bus stops were originally built by the government to help the underprivileged by allowing them to run small kiosks selling drinks and snacks. Today, only a few of these bus stops remain, and many are in a terrible state. One day, I passed by one and thought&mdash;why not use my skills to give it a fresh, vibrant makeover and bring some life back to the area?&rdquo;
Public Outcry: A Question of Priorities
His post quickly gained traction, with netizens expressing outrage over the removal of his work. Many questioned why authorities prioritised covering up harmless public art instead of addressing more pressing urban issues.
Cloakwork&rsquo;s criticism was direct: &ldquo;Instead of spending taxpayers' money to cover my harmless art, why not try to fix the potholes on the road?&rdquo; His statement resonated with many, reigniting discussions about the city&rsquo;s maintenance priorities.
Supporters argued that street art enhances urban spaces, adding character and cultural value. They pointed to international cities such as Melbourne, Berlin, and London, which actively encourage public murals as a form of urban beautification. Many felt that Kuala Lumpur should follow suit rather than treating street art as vandalism.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7822c3dd05e8b7700a09459048ed5b029508a178c58f5ff12613e41cdbe01ee9" />
Art for the People, By the People
Cloakwork&rsquo;s influence extends far beyond Malaysia, with his murals gaining international recognition. His work is not merely about aesthetics&mdash;it represents a deeper philosophy of giving back to the community.
&ldquo;My life motto is 'Give and Take'. After completing a commissioned project, I always set aside some funds and leftover spray paints to contribute to the community,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;I want to make the streets more vibrant and colourful, bring joy to people, and inspire young artists to pursue their dreams.&rdquo;
Despite the setback, Cloakwork remains committed to his craft. His experience highlights the ongoing tension between local authorities and street artists, raising an important question: should cities embrace public art as a tool for revitalisation, or continue to erase it in the name of regulation?
One thing is certain&mdash;Kuala Lumpur could benefit from a little more colour, and artists like Cloakwork are more than willing to provide it.

Local Graffiti Artist Cloakwork Questions DBKL For Erasing His Vibrant And Beautiful Murals Around KL

In the niche world of designer toy collecting, where limited-edition figurines can fetch staggering prices, a Malaysian con artist has orchestrated a fraud that has left more than 30 victims empty-handed. This scammer vanished with nearly RM300,000, luring collectors in with promises of exclusive Royal Molly figures&mdash;only to disappear without delivering a single item.
A Carefully Crafted Deception 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0baf0db7806ff9944802db40456d85877100058af69d5a6c05d26d6d4cd59bf2" />
The fraudster, a live-streamer who had built a strong reputation within the collector community, used his online presence to earn the trust of buyers. He cleverly priced his Royal Molly figures to appear like a great deal&mdash;affordable enough to attract interest but not suspiciously cheap. Exploiting the fear of missing out (FOMO) that drives many collectors, he managed to secure payments from multiple buyers before vanishing into thin air.
One victim, identified as Ms A, was personally approached by the scammer, who knew of her enthusiasm for Royal Molly figures. On 5 February, she placed an order with a promised delivery date of 5 March. However, the excuses soon began rolling in&mdash;first, he blamed shipping delays from China, then tried to upsell her a different colour variation for an extra RM500. By 7 March, he finally admitted he had never placed her order. Despite promising a refund, he disappeared, leaving Ms A with a RM7,488 loss and no collectables to show for it.
A Web of Deception Unravelled 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b4accc16c34bd1c0187e5b2ff88bd48ac01929da3a7ea8ea9c29b6c6296f0ca8" />
As more victims began realising they had been scammed, they connected through social media and formed a WhatsApp group&mdash;a support network for those who had fallen prey to the fraud. The scale of the scam became clear: over 30 collectors had been swindled, with individual losses ranging from RM1,000 to RM35,000. In total, the stolen amount was nearly RM300,000&mdash;enough to purchase a small apartment.
Eventually, the victims managed to track down the scammer&rsquo;s brother. However, his response was nothing short of insulting&mdash;he proposed a repayment plan of RM500 per month, a sum so small it would take decades to fully repay the victims. To make matters worse, he issued a threat: if anyone reported the fraud to the police, all repayments would cease immediately, turning the situation into a financial hostage crisis.
A Shameless Display of Audacity
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5ca75103837e8a209e4c8038af5af03ddaf430c91e45fb84905a8e0af6139e3c" />
If the scam itself was not outrageous enough, the fraudster&rsquo;s next move was even more shocking. Under mounting pressure from victims demanding their money back, he claimed his mother had been hospitalised. Instead of returning any of the stolen money, he had the audacity to ask his victims for loans ranging from RM2,500 to RM5,000, supposedly to cover urgent medical expenses. It was an act of deception within a deception which really blew the mind of many.
As of now, only three victims have officially filed police reports, while others have either accepted the slow repayment plan or decided to cut their losses. The scammer, meanwhile, is believed to be overseas, potentially surrounded by a collection of Royal Molly figures bought with stolen funds.
A Costly Lesson for Collectors
This case is a stark reminder of the risks associated with unchecked trust in online purchases, particularly in tight-knit collector communities where passion often overrides caution.

Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng, who has been approached by victims for assistance, has urged more people to come forward and report the fraud. He advised that the scammer should be given one last opportunity to refund the money before the matter is escalated legally.
Ultimately, this incident serves as a harsh reality check: in the world of designer toys, the most valuable commodity isn&rsquo;t a limited-edition figurine&mdash;it&rsquo;s financial prudence. No collectable, no matter how exclusive, is worth the risk of losing thousands to a scam, leaving victims with nothing but regret and empty shelves.

Malaysian Collector Community Scammed: Nearly RM300,000 Lost in Designer Toy Fraud

Malaysian MONSTIEZ, brace yourselves! Rising K-pop powerhouse BABYMONSTER is heading to Kuala Lumpur as part of their first-ever world tour, HELLO MONSTERS. The highly anticipated concert is set to take place on 21st June 2025 at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil.
Formed by YG Entertainment in 2023, BABYMONSTER consists of seven talented members: Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora, and Chiquita. Hailing from South Korea, Thailand, and Japan, the multinational group has quickly cemented itself as one of the most exciting acts in the industry today.
A Meteoric Rise in K-pop

​BABYMONSTER, often stylized as Baemon, is a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment. The septet comprises Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora, and Chiquita. They officially debuted on April 1, 2024, with the EP BabyMons7er, featuring the hit single "Sheesh." This debut was monumental, as the album achieved the highest first-week sales for a debut girl group in South Korea, solidifying their status as formidable newcomers in the K-pop industry.​

Prior to their official debut, BABYMONSTER released two singles as a six-member ensemble: "Batter Up" on November 27, 2023, and "Stuck in the Middle" on February 1, 2024. These tracks served as pre-debut releases, generating significant buzz and anticipation among fans. Member Ahyeon, who was on hiatus due to health reasons during these releases, made a full recovery and rejoined the group for their official debut as a seven-member unit. ​
Building on their early success, BABYMONSTER released their first full-length album, Drip, on November 1, 2024. The album featured collaborations with prominent K-pop icons such as G-Dragon and Mino from WINNER, further elevating their musical repertoire. The title track "Drip" showcased their versatility and musical craftsmanship, blending various styles that resonated with a global audience.

The group's dynamic stage presence, electrifying performances, and razor-sharp rap skills have captivated audiences worldwide. Their striking visuals and engaging personas have earned them the title of "MONSTER ROOKIE," reflecting their rapid ascent in the global music scene. In early 2025, BABYMONSTER embarked on their "Hello Monsters 1st World Tour," performing in major cities across Asia and North America. The tour's success led to additional shows in the U.S. and Canada, including cities like Toronto, Atlanta, and Seattle, further cementing their status as K-pop's next global phenomenon. ​
With chart-topping songs, high-energy performances, and a rapidly growing international fanbase, BABYMONSTER continues to make significant strides in the music industry, solidifying their place as one of K-pop's most promising groups.
