TWICE Set to Make History With Australian Stadium Show - Billboard

TWICE carves out a slice of history with the announcement of a one-off stadium show in Australia later this year.

Produced by Live Nation, TWICE will bring their 5th World Tour ‘Ready To Be’ to Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 4.

With that show, TWICE will become the first female group to headline a stadium in Australia, and the first K-pop stadium concert to be held in the land Down Under.

The one-off show follows four sold-out Australian arena dates in May.

“Australian fans have fallen head over feels for their signature high energy performance and stellar setlist of chart-topping hits,” reads a statement from LN.

General tickets go on sale from Wednesday, Sept. 6, with the Live Nation presale starting earlier, from Monday, Sept. 4.

The nine-member South Korean pop act was formed by JYP Entertainment in 2015, when Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu were selected from Sixteen, a one-season talent show.

Earlier this year, TWICE claimed their third No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated March 25) as Ready to Be: 12th Mini Album debuted atop the list with the act’s best sales week ever.

The EP peaked at No. 2 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and is one of the group’s four top 10 appearanced on that chart.

TWICE recently completed the North American swing of their 5th World Tour ‘Ready To Be,’ playing 13 sold-out performances at nine stadiums and arenas, according to LN. The second leg of the tour will run from September through December, with the group playing venues across Europe and Asia.

In March of this year, the performers were honored with the Breakthrough Award at Billboard’s 2023 Women in Music, which Sabrina Carpenter presented.

Also on the night, TWICE dazzled with a rendition of Ready to Be cut “Moonlight Sunrise,” the artists’ second English-language single, following “The Feels,” which dropped in October 2021.

Dylan Mulvaney Honored at Streamy Awards - Variety

Dylan Mulvaney, the social medial influencer who faced a transphobic backlash after setting a partnership with Bud Light, was saluted Sunday night at the Streamy Awards honoring social media creators.

Mulvaney won the award for breakout creator at the ceremony hosted at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. An emotional Mulvaney urged the audience to work hard at being allies for the LGBT community. Mulvaney told the crowd that trans people and social media stars have a lot in common. “People often underestimate us,” they said.

Mulvaney nodded to the flap that they endured after Bud Light backed away from a promotional partnership with them after Anheuser-Busch was inundated with an organized campaign of homophobic complaints. The TikTok sensation called on the Streamy crowd to use their reach and influence to promote anti-hate messages.

“If we can influence people to buy a $25 smoothie at Erewhon, we can also do this,” Mulvaney said. “I’m going to go have a beer.”

More to come…

Man in viral 2006 BBC interview mixup says he will sue for royalties - The Guardian

A man who became a viral sensation after being interviewed on the BBC in a case of mistaken identity 17 years ago has said he plans to sue the broadcaster for a share of the royalties.

Guy Goma went to the BBC for a job interview in 2006 and ended up on air when he was mistaken for an IT expert, Guy Kewney.

The business presenter Karen Bowerman thought she was talking to Kewney for analysis, leading to her and Goma becoming increasingly confused.

Goma, now 54 and a computer technician, has revealed he was not paid for his infamous appearance on BBC News 24. The clip has been screened repeatedly over the last 17 years and Goma told the podcast series Accidental Celebrities that he believed he should earn a share of the royalties.

When asked if the BBC had contacted him since the mistake, he said: “I contacted them. They didn’t answer me.”

He suggested the BBC had been waiting for him “to take them to court”. When asked if he would go to court, he said: “I am going to go because of the money they made from it. They didn’t give me a single penny.”

The podcast’s hosts, Josh Pieters and Archie Manners, told him the lack of payment seemed “incredibly unfair” given how popular the clip became.

Goma replied: “They have been using it for nearly 20 years with no penny to me. When I see that they are paying people millions here and there, that clip made them richer.”

Goma, who now works for a charity supporting people with learning disabilities, said he was considering writing a book called Wrong Guy.

After the 2006 mixup he was initially thought to have been Kewney’s taxi driver, but it was later revealed that he had turned up at the BBC for an interview about an IT position.

Goma appeared again on the BBC for a follow-up interview in which he apologised to Kewney, the founder of newswireless.net, whom the BBC had thought it was interviewing.

The Other Meaning Of "ARMY" That BTS Fans Might Not Know About - Koreaboo

With BTS‘s growing popularity worldwide, their fandom, too, has become one of the most notable collectives globally, known by the name of “ARMY.” Much like BTS’s decade-long journey, the name of their fandom also has an interesting history.

BTS in the “Butter” music video | *@HYBELABELS/YouTube*

The group announced their official fandom name on July 9, 2013. But they had to go through multiple options to land on their final choice. In 2021, Jimin mentioned in the ARMY Corner Store video that one of the contenders for BTS’s fandom name was “Cherry.”

RM then added that the final candidates for the fandom name were ARMY and “Bell.” Since in Korean, “bell” is called “bangwool,” it was considered a creative name that could connect the fans with BTS’s Korean name, “Bangtan Sonyeondan.”

But the final choice of ARMY proved itself to be a legendary decision in the future. The name comes with two interpretations that both connect the fandom to BTS’s core values and concept. Firstly, “ARMY” goes with the concept of “Bulletproof Boy Scouts,” which is the literal meaning of BTS’s Korean name. Secondly, ARMY is also the acronym for Adorable Representative MC for Youth, which reflects the heart of BTS’s music — representing youth.

— ARMY Connect | ʟᴀʏᴏ(ꪜ)ᴇʀ (@Army_Connect) May 26, 2023

Over time, the name has also acquired a new meaning from fans, which the members also picked up on. In French, “ami” means friend, which Suga pointed out to be fitting for the group’s relationship with their fans.

But there is another meaning of ARMY that not many fans are aware of yet. It was the group’s leader RM who offered this interpretation a few years ago.

After BTS’s 2020 Map Of The Soul tour had to be canceled because of COVID-19, the group made their much-anticipated comeback on stage in 2022 with Permission to Dance on Stage concerts. They performed at the Seoul Olympic Stadium in three consecutive shows from March 9 to March 11. The in-person tickets were limited due to strict COVID-19 protocol, and the audience members were also prohibited from shouting during the concert. The only way for the audience to respond to the performance was through the use of clappers.

During this concert series, all the BTS members expressed how much they missed hearing ARMYs shout and cheer along with them. On the third day of the concert, RM said that the word ARMY is an abbreviation of the phrase “areumdaun miseong,” which means “beautiful voices” in Korean, adding that he couldn’t wait to hear the voices of ARMYs again!

When Joon looked at the voiceless clapper ARMYs and told them that ARMY (아미) stands for 아름다운 미성 (areumdaun miseong) which means "beautiful voices"

Ferragamo Taps Tyler Mitchell for Renaissance-Inspired Campaign at the Uffizi Gallery - ARTnews

For visuals promoting the brands forthcoming Fall/Winter 2023 collection, the Italian fashion Ferragamo brought on photographer Tyler Mitchell to capture Renaissance-inspired visuals shot at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

Director Maximilian Davis’s second campaign as the house’s newly appointed director features models donning sleek Ferragamo clothes before backdrops printed with Italian paintings from the Uffizi’s collection. In a statement announcing the Uffizi collaboration, Davis said, “The Renaissance is hardwired into Florence.”

Works from the 15th and 16th centuries were among the scenes that appeared in his images for Ferragamo. Models were posed in front of canonical subjects: Italian nobles, biblical figures, and Tuscan landscapes visible in works like Botticelli’s The Annunciation of San Martino alla Scala (1481) and Piero della Francesca’s Diptych of Federico da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza (1467–72). At various points, Mitchell also serves as a model.

Over the past few years, Mitchell has gained a following for his imagery that have centered Black subjects, ranging from the famous to unrecognized. In 2020, Mitchell joined the roster of Jack Shainman Gallery; he was just 25 at the time. Not long beforehand, he’d been the subject of a traveling museum exhibition that opened at the Fotografiemuseum in Amsterdam and traveled to New York at the International Center of Photography in 2019.

Mitchell’s work has collapsed divisions between the worlds of fashion and art. In 2021, Mitchell told Art in America that he leans on his background in filmmaking to inform his art and commercial projects, saying, “I think of myself as basically a director.”

"Straight Up Evil": Fans criticize SM Entertainment following the endangering circumstances of EXO's Chanyeol in Travel the World on a Ladder - Sportskeeda

On Friday, August 25, following the release of Travel the World on a Ladder's latest episode, many fans expressed concerns about EXO's Chanyeol. Given that this is the fourth season of the reality show starring the EXO members, it garners a huge audience. As fans excitedly looked forward to each episode's release, many were displeased with the situation Chanyeol was put in.

During the latest episode, the idol was seen on a roof without any fence and was also blindfolded at the same time. While this was already dangerous, fans also noticed that he was alone on the roof without any staff accompanying him. As a result, many were left angered at the show's production team and at SM Entertainment for the lack of safety and protection of their artist.

Fans frustrated after the latest Travel the World on a Ladder episode showed EXO's Chanyeol in a dangerous situation

The reality show starring the EXO members is organized by SM Entertainment. During each season of the show, the idols are seen going on a vacation to a new location. However, the unique twist is that their decisions in the show are determined through the ladder game.

With this season consisting of all the EXO members, fans have been excitedly tuning in for each episode. Especially since Chanyeol wasn't present for the earlier season due to his mandatory military enlistment, fans were also looking forward to seeing him on screen again.

While the past five episodes were well received, the sixth episode, which showcased the dangerous situation in which Chanyeol was placed, left fans angry and concerned.

Given that the members have to participate in several games and missions throughout the reality show, one of the games was a survival game.

For this segment, the members were taken to an empty school with blindfolds on, and were placed in particular locations in the school with the help of the staff. Chanyeol was the first one to be taken to his location, which happened to be the roof of the school. After he was placed there, no staff members were seen accompanying him and he was given no information on his next move.

Since the roof had no fences, fans believed that if the idol had moved too much, it might have resulted in quite a dangerous situation.

The idol was also seen becoming uneasy and uncomfortable during the segment, especially after realizing where he was placed. He even expressed:

"I honestly can't see anything at all. It's driving me crazy...I'm outdoors, for sure...What's this place?"

Since it clearly looked like the idol wasn't given any prior information about the location or how it could be dangerous, fans were all the more concerned and angered.

Following the same, fans have been flooding Twitter and social media platforms criticizing and expressing anger at the improper and careless management of both SM Entertainment and the show's production team.

"So We Can Be Here in 100 Years": In Conversation with Josephine Michau, Curator of Danish Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale - ArchDaily

"So We Can Be Here in 100 Years": In Conversation with Josephine Michau, Curator of Danish Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale

This year’s Danish Pavilion at The 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, was curated by Josephine Michau. Titled “Coastal Imaginaries,” the exhibition addresses solutions to alleviate global challenges such as rising sea levels and storm floods. Onsite in Venice, ArchDaily had the chance to speak with the curator Josephine Michau, where she discussed the thought process behind the pavilion, the collaborations, and her hopes of starting meaningful dialogue as a result of the exhibition.

+ 1

“Coastal Imaginaries” finds a common link between Denmark and Venice, addressing a shared struggle. In fact, both cities “share the enchantment and the threat of the ocean.” With sea levels rising and storm floods growing faster than ever before in human history, the pavilion represents the world's climactic state. “Coastal Imaginaries” directly asks architects, designers, and viewers to rethink their relationship to the climate crisis, urging architects to find new ways to respond to these threats.

The pavilion explores “nature-based solutions” for coastal protection and climate adaptation. Through many collaborations and presentations of key researchers in the field, the pavilion provides a holistic understanding of both short and long-term solutions to the crisis. For example, the display invites “Mitigating Sea Level Rise,” a group focused on finding ways to work with nature around rising sea levels. They were able to identify 7 core principles and ways of working with the natural processes of water flow, instead of against them. In fact, the pavilion urges the Copenhagen authorities to implement the solutions, ensuring that water can be both absorbed and rereleased according to the mitigation strategy. Overall, the proposals focus on Copenhagen, a city celebrated as the UNESCO 2023 World Capital of Architecture, yet under the constant threat posed by rising sea levels.

Indonesia Plans to Build Its New Capital from the Ground Up to Replace the Sinking City of Jakarta

Involved in many initiatives in Copenhagen, Josephine Michau is also the founder and director of the Copenhagen Architecture Festival, an annual event since 2014 that aims to broaden the concept of architecture and its pervasive influence on every aspect of human existence. This year, their global short film competition focused on the goals of the UN's agenda, in time for the UIA 2023 Congress of Architects in Copenhagen.

Through the interview and the exhibition, curator Josephine Michau aims to show the public and industry professionals a catalog of nature-based solutions that respond to today's storm surges and flooding challenges. Many coastal cities are in formidable positions that “demand a massive restructure of architecture and what architecture should do.” Another example of collaboration with solution-based researchers is the showcase of the “Architecture for Extreme Environments” solution-based portfolio. The exhibition invites researchers to show their findings on extreme weather environments. The research is expansive and aims to provide solutions and prototypes for cities that are in urgent situations. For example, Jakarta is a megacity that is under sea levels as of right now. A big operation to move the entire city to a new island is being planned for the next few years. Michau goes on to state that “a third of Pakistan is under water, Bangladesh is also experiencing it, as well as Indonesia.”

Overall, the curation encourages both short and long-term solutions to be considered. Some urgent situations call for prototypes that can deal immediately with frequent flooding. However, the exhibition is also engaged with landscape urbanists providing more long-term solutions. Overall, the aim of the display is to create a dialogue around new ways and processes to deal with the looming climate crisis “so we can be here in 100 years.”

Many other exhibitions have been interested in the same pressing issues in the 18th International Architecture Exhibition. Under Lesley Lokko’s overarching theme, The Laboratory of the Future, many pavilions are exploring what threats we are facing today that will shape the way in which we live in the future. Argentina’s Pavilion, “The Future of Water,” highlights the country’s intimate relationship with water, reflecting on future actions. Urban Radicals presented “A Brick for Venice,” a temporary pavilion made entirely of mud from the city’s canals. Finally, the Pavilion of Slovenia explores the theme of ecology and its relation to the built environment. Moreover, the exhibition explores energy efficiency and its application to vernacular European buildings.

Netizens surprised by the number of steps it takes for an idol to send a Bubble message - allkpop

In the age of the fan messaging service Bubble, K-Pop idols and their fans chat with one another just like they're texting friends.

But what does it actually look like on the artists' end when one sends a Bubble message?

MIRAE's Son Dong Pyo previously broke down the surprisingly daunting task for artists who were still transitioning from other messaging services to Bubble.

Step 1: Type a message.

Step 2: Upload the message to the 'Waiting for Upload' stage.

Step 3: Press 'Send Waiting for Upload Message'.

Step 4: Confirm preview of message.

Step 5: Press 'Send'.

Step 6: Press 'Confirm' to the question, 'Are you sure you want to send this message?'.

Step 7: The message will be sent.

According to Dong Pyo's explanation, an artist will have to tap his/her finger at least 4 times for a single Bubble message to be sent out.

So how many times did Seventeen's Vernon tap his finger to send these Bubble messages on this day?

Many netizens were quite surprised by the strict "mistake prevention" measures of the service, while others also shared some comments from other artists on how they dealt with the numerous steps.

One said, "My idol said they just 'press-press-press-press' because it gets annoying lol", while another added on, "But you can add up to 10 'Waiting for Upload' messages onto it at once", and more.

Whose Bubble service are you subscribed to?

'Before, Now & Then' Review: Love and War - The New York Times

Set amid the upheaval of 1960s Indonesia, this drama tells the story of a woman caught in an unhappy marriage and haunted by the traumas of war.

Kamila Andini’s “Before, Now & Then” is a domestic drama set against a tumultuous historical backdrop: In 1960s Indonesia, as communists are massacred by the state and the authoritarian president Suharto seizes control (with the backing of the United States), the film alights on the story of one woman, Nana (Happy Salma), who is caught in an unhappy marriage and haunted by past traumas. It’s a daring narrative mix of the personal and the political, though Andini struggles to find the right balance between the two.

The movie begins in the aftermath of Indonesia’s fight for independence in the 1940s, with Nana on the run, fleeing nationalist soldiers who are forcibly taking women from villages. Nana’s husband is presumed dead, and, in a startling scene, she imagines her father being beheaded by a group of men. A temporal jump then transports us to her new life 15 years later, when she is the wife of a wealthy, absent and adulterous plantation owner. From the high-stakes prologue we switch, jarringly, to a languid, mist-swept melodrama about Nana’s fraying relationship with her unfaithful husband and her friendship with his younger mistress, Ino (Laura Basuki).

The political and historical contexts fade into the background, emerging only in stray scenes of locals discussing current events, which Andini inserts like punctuation marks in an otherwise typical midcentury tale of a woman awakening to her independence. It doesn’t help that this feminist arc is a little too cute, particularly after the brutality that precedes it: All it takes to bring Nana out of her shell is Ino — a manic-pixie figure — encouraging her to dive into a lake fully clothed. It’s a pity for both Salma and Basuki, whose expressive faces convey depths of feeling that the script and direction cannot quite match.

Before, Now & Then

Exploring Rounded Shapes: An Examination of Interior Design Trends - ArchDaily

Exploring Rounded Shapes: An Examination of Interior Design Trends

After years of dominance, orthogonal lines and right angles are giving way to organic designs and rounded shapes within interior design projects. This profound shift in formal language has led to the infiltration of gentle curves and amorphous volumes into design pieces, furniture, and decorative elements, a transformation that's becoming increasingly evident. Some argue that this change may be indirectly linked to the growing interest in sustainability and the pursuit of strategies that reconnect people with nature, as seen in the consistent presence of biophilia across projects of various scales. The period of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic further heightened this inclination, prompting individuals to devise ways to incorporate nature into their living spaces, thereby enhancing well-being in day-to-day life.

+ 21

In this context, organic forms draw inspiration from natural elements such as plants and rivers, resembling living organisms that embody flexibility and movement. Furthermore, these shapes evoke a sense of coziness, warmth, and relaxation, imparting tranquility to the spaces they inhabit. Projects that embrace this design language excel in incorporating pieces that ensure the fluidity of natural, curvilinear, and ergonomic movements, offering benefits such as enhanced spatial circulation and increased safety by minimizing prominent and acute angles. It's important to note that curved shapes possess additional characteristics that reinforce the concept of a return to nature. They are seamlessly integrated into spaces that engage in a dialogue with exterior landscapes and vegetation. Additionally, the utilization of sustainable materials sourced from nature, often with minimal or no polishing, such as stone, wood, clay, and ceramics, further enhances the connection with natural origins, characteristic of construction practices

We have compiled a collection of projects that materialize organic forms in their furniture, ranging from residential examples to commercial and outdoor applications. Feel free to get inspired.

Residential

When crafting projects for residential interiors, numerous considerations come into play. These aspects not only imbue a particular style or aesthetic preference but also demand functionality and spatial efficiency. Curved shapes and organic designs play pivotal roles in reconciling these requirements, introducing concepts like uniformity and continuity to spaces while often facilitating improved circulation. Whether adorned with natural elements like wood and stone or enriched with vibrant colors, organic furniture fosters comfortable and inspiring living spaces that seamlessly cater to the residents' daily lives.

Commercial

Curves are increasingly taking center stage within commercial spaces. Organic shapes not only strengthen the brand's identity but also leave a lasting impression on customers' minds with their distinctive volumes. Moreover, owing to their inherent associations with warmth and hospitality, these forms find perfect synergy with spaces intended to engage and captivate visitors. In contrast to residential settings, commercial environments often fuse curves with vibrant colors and distinctive textures, imbuing these places with a unique and memorable identity.

Landscaping

While it might appear redundant to discuss organic and natural shapes in projects involving squares and parks, the integration of fluid forms with nature serves to underscore the playful essence of these spaces. This combination fosters diverse interpretations and showcases an inherent dialogue and synergy with the environment. In such instances, organic design extends beyond its application in flowerbeds and pathways, also influencing the creation of inviting furniture that encourages interactions and connections. Furthermore, various recreational elements within these spaces embrace organic shapes, limited only by the bounds of imagination.
