Said the Malaysia-born actress: "It all began in 2000. With God's intervention, I travelled from Malaysia to Singapore for work. I experienced and learned about life, made close friends, got married and built a home…
"I've experienced a lot and finally received my pink card in 2022, taking root on this little red dot."
Kim Tae-ri sends her Tiffany & Co ring flying
When people talk about sending love, they certainly don't have this in mind.
In a press conference for the new South Korean film Alienoid held on July 13, actress Kim Tae-ri waved to the audience — only to send her Tiffany & Co ring flying off her finger.

Her cast members, including Kim Woo-bin, So Ji-sub and Ryu Jun-yeol, had only just taken the stage and greeted the audience when it happened. As the 32-year-old actress was clearly distracted as she looked around for the ring, her co-stars began to help search for it as well, leaving the audience confused about what was happening.
The ring is said to be sponsored and costs approximately US$6,800 (S$9,500), Allkpop reported.
Eventually, Ji-sub found the jewellery about two to three metres left of where Tae-ri stood and returned it to her. Tae-ri quickly returned to her seat, sporting a large smile.
K-pop idols Chae-yeon and Eun-bi in Singapore
Singapore seems to be a hotspot for South Korean artists as of late.
Former Iz*One members Lee Chae-yeon and Kwon Eun-bi were spotted in Singapore yesterday.
Multiple TikTok videos have been uploaded of their arrival at Changi Airport where the duo received a warm welcome from fans.

Although there are no news yet on why they are here, both singers reportedly travelled with a film crew and appeared to have a mic on them upon arrival.
In a video uploaded to TikTok by user Norman Ramli, 22-year-old Chae-yeon was later spotted at Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck, where she looked to be filming a music video.
