(Video) XngHan Makes Acting Debut On Indonesian Sinetron “Asmara Gen Z”

Last year, fans were left devastated by the news of Hong Seunghan (홍승한)'s departure from RIIZE. The idol was reportedly removed following several controversies, including his past relationships before debut, which sparked online debate about unfair treatment and unjust behaviour towards K-pop artists. Thankfully, things have been going well for him lately.

In July 2025, the singer made his solo debut under the stage name XngHan (승한) with 2 singles, "Waste No Time" and "Heavenly Blue". Since then, he has kept himself busy, but few expected that one of his solo projects would include a cameo appearance in an Indonesian sinetron.

Over the weekend, SinemArt Indonesia teased fans with the news that a special guest would be starring in the "Asmara Gen Z" series. The promotional poster featured the silhouette of a male singer, which, unsurprisingly, many K-pop fans quickly recognised as XngHan. The announcement sparked not only excitement but also confusion, as few would have expected a K-pop idol to make an appearance in an Indonesian drama.

Those speculations proved to be true when the singer made his acting debut, appearing in the show's 312th episode. The 21-year-old essentially played himself, with his character visiting his friend Fattah (portrayed by Fattah Syach), who invited him to a party. After agreeing to join, the two went out to eat nasi padang. Later in the episode, the soloist appeared at the party, where he performed a song for the crowd.

Since the episode aired, fans have been both baffled and excited by XngHan's cameo. Many were curious about how the opportunity came about, while others praised his acting, noting how natural his performance was. Some also found the situation humorous, as no one would have guessed that a K-pop idol would make his acting debut outside Korea, let alone in an Indonesian soap opera.

Watch XngHan's scenes below:

Aaron Kwok’s Wife Moka Fang Reportedly Gave Birth To Baby Boy

Congratulations are in order for Hong Kong superstar Aaron Kwok (郭富城) and his wife, Moka Fang (方媛)! According to reports, the Chinese-born model has given birth to the couple's third child, a healthy baby boy!

On 30th September 2025 (Tuesday), Hong Kong news outlets reported that Moka had given birth at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital. The baby boy was born on 28th September 2025 (Saturday), a week earlier than Moka's due date of 4th October 2025 (Saturday). News outlets report that both the mother and baby are healthy. However, Aaron and Moka have yet to confirm the news.

Regardless, fans are excited to hear about the new addition to the Kwok family. Aaron and Moka are already parents to two daughters, aged 7 and 5, making the newborn the couple's first son. Previously, there were claims that Aaron was so happy to have a son that he increased Moka's credit card limit and prepared a luxury gift as a push present. It's also worth noting that the singer would be the first of the Four Heavenly Kings to have a son.

Additionally, Moka is likely spending her confinement period at an upscale postnatal facility in Hong Kong. According to reports, Aaron has arranged for his wife to stay at the Saint Bella Maternity and Baby Care Centre, following its 56-day "Queen" tier package that costs nearly HK$2 million (approximately RM1.08 million). The package reportedly includes round-the-clock service with one-to-one care for the mother and baby in a private villa or hotel-style setting.

Of course, Aaron is also taking time off his busy schedule to spend time with Moka and the new baby. During his recent appearance at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Hong Kong Film Gala Presentation at The Exchange TRX, the 59-year-old said he will take a short break after his concert in Chengdu this weekend to care for his family. However, since Moka has given birth earlier than scheduled, fans are now wondering whether his concert will proceed as planned.

Nevertheless, fans and the entertainment industry are ecstatic for Aaron and Moka, sending their congratulations to the couple and their family. We would also like to congratulate them on the new arrival and wish a smooth confinement period for Moka.

“The Simpsons” Finally Getting A Second Movie After 20 Years

It's been a long wait, but "The Simpsons" fans are finally getting the movie sequel they've been asking for. The iconic American animated series has confirmed that a sequel to their 2007 movie is finally coming after 20 years.

On 30th September 2025 (Tuesday), 20th Century Studios and The Walt Disney Company shared a poster on social media, announcing a new "The Simpsons" movie. The poster depicts Homer Simpson grabbing a classic pink-frosted doughnut sprinkled with the number 2. Also written on the poster is the line, "Homer's coming back for seconds," and the movie's United States release date, 23rd July 2027.

SOURCE: INSTAGRAM (@thesimpsons)

This upcoming movie marks the second movie under the franchise, 20 years after the release of the first one. The first "The Simpsons Movie" was released in 2007 and follows the famous animated family after Homer accidentally pollutes the town's water supply, leading the Environmental Protection Agency to imprison the fictional Springfield. The film was a blockbuster, earning over US$500 million (approximately RM2.1 billion) in box office revenue.

The project is part of Disney's 2027 release line-up, replacing an untitled Marvel movie that formerly held that spot on the calendar. However, the movie isn't a last-minute project. It has been in the works for many years, since as early as 2014. Unfortunately, there are no details about the movie's plot yet, but "The Simpsons" fans can expect to see something new for the Springfield family.

Fans have since reacted to the news, mostly excited about the new project. However, there were quips about the studio being "20 years too late". Interestingly, some fans noted that the series had unintentionally predicted the two-decade delay. Two months after the first film's release in 2007, the show's Season 19 premiered with Bart's famous chalkboard gags, with him writing, "I will not wait 20 years to make another movie."

As they say, it's better late than never. Of course, there's still over a year until the release date, but are you already looking forward to a new "The Simpsons" movie?
