#PopVultures Ep 53: Let’s talk Shane Pow, Chantalle Ng, Britney Spears and Squid Game!
18:48 mins
Synopsis: The Straits Times examines the ins and outs of pop culture in the Asian entertainment and Hollywood scene.
This week #PopVultures host Jan Lee runs down note-worthy entertainment news for listeners.
In local news, she talks about former Mediacorp Shane Pow’s comeback after his second drink driving conviction landed him in jail and goes through local actress Chantalle Ng’s allegations that her father, retired actor Huang Yiliang, physically abused her when she was 11.
Ng is the daughter of Huang and veteran actress Lin Meijiao – the pair divorced before Ng turned one. Huang has responded to the allegations, claiming that he hit Ng because Lin had told him to play the bad cop parent.
Next, she goes into overseas news – she celebrates Britney Spears’ father being officially suspended from her conservatorship and Netflix’s original K-drama Squid Game becoming a viral hit and taking over the world.
Here’s what she talked about:
1. Shane Pow’s comeback and how it was like covering his interview (0:38)
2. The sad story of Chantalle Ng and Lin Meijiao versus Huang Yiliang (2:16)
3. We’re on track to #FreeBritney! (8:46)
4. Squid Game on track to becoming Netflix’s biggest drama ever (14:22)
