30 Jun - Actor-producer Louis Koo is keeping mum about rumours that he is acquiring Celia Sie's entertainment company, Jacso Media, as reported on Mingpao News.

The company, which manages Korean artistes' work in Hong Kong, is part of a joint venture of eSun Holdings. Jacso has managed several events involving Korean stars such as Kang Gary's Gary Showcase, both in 2014 and 2015, as well as several concerts, including BTOB and B1A4's tour in November last year.

When asked about it recently, Louis, who attended an event alongside Korean actress Song Ji-hyo, declined to respond, although admitted that he is currently observing the Korean market.

"I watch South Korean movies, but I don't have any intention to invest in one, since I am just an actor after all," he said.

When asked if he would like to work with Song in the future, Louis responded, "As an artiste, I hope to have this kind of opportunity."

Russia has found the critical vulnerability in Nato’s American tanks
The arrival of the US M1A1 Abrams tanks in Ukraine was hailed as a turning point in the war. Coming in at roughly $10 million a unit, the Nato stalwart was supposed to provide the armoured fist that would punch through the Russian lines. But tactics evolve quickly in warfare, and Russia’s use of surveillance and hunter-killer drones has led to heavy casualties for Ukraine’s tank fleets. This is alarming for NATO. If Russia has found critical vulnerabilities in our armour, our borders are beginni

Relegated Sheffield United are a Premier League laughing stock – they may be gone for a while
At some clubs they ban the “R” word during the season, as relegation is unthinkable. But it has been a different story at Sheffield United, where dropping back to the Championship has come off a long run-up and was confirmed at St James’ Park. They have not won two consecutive matches all season and even victory in their final three games will see them rooted in the bottom three.

The Israel Defence Forces are the most moral soldiers in the world
Just when coverage of Israel in much of the broadcast media couldn’t seem any more spiteful and misleading – the slippage into the mainstream of slurs like “genocide” and “famine”, for instance, neither of which are remotely accurate descriptions for what is going on in Gaza – a story breaks that destroys all my remaining confidence that such outlets will cover the war impartially.

How the 'Bengaluru dream' turned into a nightmare
STORY: Nineteen-year-old Kkavya landed in Bengaluru with dreams of getting a degree in English literature and an exciting job at a tech firm.During a job interview, Khavya, who hails from Kashmir, was told she would have amazing job opportunities in India's Silicon Valley.She was sold the "Bengaluru dream.""What was promised to me when I came to work, they were like, 'Listen, the weather is going to be amazing, you're going to get paid, come work for us for seven hours, go home, take a beer, chill, sleep."After three years in the city, the dream is falling apart, and fast.One problem is the traffic."Do you see the horn? Did you hear it? This is my nightmare."As it was transformed into India's tech hub, the city has struggled to keep up with the massive population influx.Kkavya now spends up to five or six hours on her daily commutes.In the 1990s, Bengaluru rapidly became India's answer to Silicon Valley.It attracted millions of workers and the regional headquarters of some of the world's biggest IT companies.But unrestrained urban expansion has affected Bengaluru's character as a liveable city.With the city poised to vote in the second phase of India's national election on Friday (April 26), Kkavya said she felt frustrated to see that these issues are rarely addressed by local politicians and candidates."We are that sad now, we don't even think that this is something politicians can fix, because they never talk about it. Traffic is our problem, roads are our problem, hospital is your problem. So when I tell my boss that I can't reach on time, it's my problem, not the people who made the roads, not the people who are responsible for the traffic."And she struggles every morning to get water for her daily use. Weak southwest monsoon rains last year failed to replenish depleted groundwater causing shortages.This forced residents to ration water use and pay a much higher price.Water rates at her apartment have gone up by almost four times from about $8.40 per month to more than $27. "Water is expensive as it gets. It is something like we fight for, cause I remember, two days back, this building and the next building had a war over one tank. Because there was only one tank available, and we both wanted it, so basically they paid more and they got it."
