Samsung calls off its partnership with fake Supreme in China
Took long enough
After drawing the ire of hypebeasts around the world, Samsung is finally pulling out from its collaboration with the knock-off Supreme brand in China.
It was last December when Samsung China announced its partnership with the lifestyle brand, knowing full well that it isn’t the original company based in New York.
However, working with an imitation didn’t fly well with both Samsung fans and those who value the authenticity of actual Supreme products. Two days after the initial announcement, Samsung China said it was re-evaluating the partnership.
Now, nearly two months later, Samsung confirmed in a Weibo post that it’s no longer working with Supreme Italia, which is the copycat of the original brand.
While Supreme Italia is actually allowed to operate thanks to a win in court against the legit Supreme, any sort of connection with a company as big and influential as Samsung isn’t necessary, and the Korean tech giant eventually realized that.
The timing seems overdue, but it definitely needed to happen before Samsung’s Unpacked event hits its stride. On February 20, the company will release a new line of Galaxy S10 flagship smartphones, as well as a foldable phone and possibly a new sports-oriented smartwatch.

Clips from One Piece Season 2 are circulating across TikTok, Threads, and X — and the internet has reached a very clear conclusion.
Screenshots of Zoro, Nami, Luffy, and Miss All Sunday have been circulating widely online.
This cast is aggressively attractive.
One Threads post even asked the question outright: “Why is the One Piece cast aggressively attractive?” Judging by the reactions online, plenty of fans seem more than happy to investigate.
And after watching the new season ourselves, we can confirm: yes, the viral moments making the rounds online are very real.
Zoro continues to be the internet’s favorite

A big chunk of the viral clips revolve around Mackenyu as Zoro.
Specifically, a scene where the swordsman appears shirtless — showing off a physique that fans immediately began thirst-posting about across social media.
It’s the kind of moment that practically feels engineered for screenshots. Stoic expression. Scarred swordsman energy. Abs fully visible.
Naturally, the internet noticed.
Luffy gets his Hollywood abs moment

Even Iñaki Godoy gets a similar viral moment.
One circulating clip shows Luffy wearing nothing but a towel, with his abs in full view. Fans quickly clipped the scene and began sharing it across social platforms.
Godoy himself seems aware of the moment. In one interview clip now floating around online, the actor joked that he might as well enjoy the “Hollywood abs” moment now — since his next role might just have him playing a regular guy.
Fair point.

The internet also noticed Miss All Sunday
Another character generating plenty of reactions online is Miss All Sunday, also known to fans as Nico Robin.

Trailer comments posted by Netflix quickly filled up with reactions from viewers pointing out the character’s striking appearance — including jokes asking why her chest looked so prominent in the preview.
Other fans quickly pushed back, asking the obvious question: why complain?
Nami might be winning the internet

Still, the character that seems to be getting the biggest reaction online is Nami.
Clips and screenshots of Emily Rudd wearing a tiny red bra have been circulating widely, with fans praising both the character’s look and Rudd’s screen presence.
The scene is brief, but it clearly made an impression.
And judging by the number of screenshots floating around online, a lot of viewers had the exact same reaction.

Some people tuned in out of curiosity.
Others may have tuned in after seeing those screenshots.
Honestly, fair.
Either way, the viral clips are real — and they’re all pulled directly from the new season.
One Piece Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

Samurai Champloo is getting a live-action adaptation
The adaptation is coming from One Piece’s Tomorrow Studios.
The live-action One Piece, which recently premiered its second season on Netflix, is one of the rare wins for the anime adaptation segment, especially after a string of misfires. Now, after the success of that series, things are getting bolder. Tomorrow Studios, which produced Netflix’s One Piece, will adapt Samurai Champloo into a live-action format.
Still from the brilliant mind of Shinichirō Watanabe, Samurai Champloo is often touted as the samurai version of Watanabe’s more popular Cowboy Bebop but with a more cohesive story and a hipper soundtrack. Since its first airing over two decades ago, the series has enjoyed a cult following, especially for those who enjoyed Cowboy Bebop.
First reported by Variety, Tomorrow Studios will adapt the show into a live-action series. Critically, Watanabe will be involved in the show’s production.
Because the show is still in early development, there’s no news beyond that. In fact, though it’s likely that Netflix will pick the series up, Tomorrow Studios hasn’t shopped the series to platforms yet.
Samurai Champloo is going to be a huge gamble for the studio. Previously, Tomorrow Studios crashed and burned with its Cowboy Bebop adaptation, which ended up getting canned soon after its premiere. Watanabe even criticized the series for changing the plot too much.
This time, however, Watanabe has given his blessing and will likely steer the adaptation to success. The studio has also promised an adaptation more faithful to the original’s story and soundtrack. Both of which were crucial to the original show’s success.

ARTMS Heejin shows KPop concert day through Ray-Ban Meta glasses
Heejin films concert POV
What does a KPop concert look like from the idol’s perspective? Heejin of ARTMS gives fans exactly that.
In a short Instagram Reel filmed using Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, the ARTMS member records an entire concert day from her point of view — from backstage moments to standing on stage in front of hundreds of fans.
The clip begins with Heejin showing off the Ray-Ban Meta glasses before putting them on. She then continues vlogging on her phone while already wearing the smart glasses, casually demonstrating how the wearable camera fits into her usual routine.
From there, the Reel jumps through several moments leading up to the show. We see Heejin signing what appear to be albums for the concert, followed by a quick meal before rehearsals begin.
At one point, she even chats with staff members who seem curious about the Ray-Ban Meta glasses she’s wearing.
Then the highlight arrives.
The perspective suddenly shifts to the stage.
View this post on Instagram
From Heejin’s POV, the crowd stretches across the venue while she performs alongside her fellow ARTMS members. There’s a quick glimpse of choreography while she’s still wearing the glasses — offering fans a rare look at what performing in front of thousands of people actually feels like.
The Reel winds down with the group bowing to the audience as the concert ends.
Finally, the video returns to the same visual from the opening. Heejin lies down on a bed, mirroring the start of the day — a quiet signal that the long concert schedule has finally wrapped.
There are a few fancams too showing the day Heejin wearing the glasses while performing on stage.

From LOONA to ARTMS
For longtime fans, Heejin needs little introduction.
She first debuted in 2016 as the very first member of LOONA, a group known for its ambitious storytelling and global fanbase.
Following LOONA’s restructuring, Heejin went on to become part of ARTMS, a project group that reunites several former members while continuing their creative direction.
Moments like this Reel give fans a small but personal glimpse into that journey — this time through the lens of smart glasses.
What the Ray-Ban Meta glasses actually do
The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are wearable smart glasses created by Meta in collaboration with Ray-Ban.
They feature a built-in ultra-wide camera, microphones, and open-ear speakers that allow users to capture photos and videos completely hands-free.
Because the camera sits directly in the frame, the footage naturally captures a first-person perspective — exactly the kind of viewpoint that makes Heejin’s Reel feel so immersive.
Instead of watching a concert from the audience, viewers briefly experience what it’s like to be the person standing on stage.
A new perspective for fans
POV videos aren’t new online, but using smart glasses to capture a full concert day adds a new layer to behind-the-scenes content.
For a few moments, fans aren’t just watching the performance.
They’re seeing it through the idol’s eyes.
And for longtime fans who first met Heejin during her early days in LOONA, the moment carries a little extra weight.
From debut stages to a new chapter with ARTMS, the view has changed — but the stage is still the same.
Now the real question is: Which idol would you want to see try this next?
