Disney+ Officially Starts Production on ‘Moving’ Season 2

 In a move sure to delight fans around the world, Disney+ today announced that production has begun on Moving Season 2, with stars Ryu Seungryong, Han Hyojoo, Zo Insung and Go Younjung set to return for the eagerly awaited second installment of the award-winning series about super-powered South Korean agents risking it all to protect their families.

 

Picking up in the days immediately after the Jeongwon High School Incident, Moving Season 2 will follow our heroes as they settle back into their everyday lives. But just as things seem to be returning to normal, new and familiar threats will emerge to endanger their loved ones.

 

With production on this highly anticipated series now officially underway, audiences can look forward to the return of Season 1 stars Ryu Seungryong, Han Hyojoo and Zo Insung as former super-powered special agents; Ryu Seungbum as the lethal assassin Frank, and Go Younjung, Kim Dohoon and Shim Dalgi as former Jeongwon High School students; as well as the newly announced Won Gyubin as Kim Bongseok.

 

Moving Season 2 marks the continued development of Kangfull’s streaming universe that audiences first immersed themselves in with Moving Season 1 and that later expanded with the release of Light Shop. Season 2’s world building will also be further enhanced by the exciting creative partnership between screenwriter Kangfull, and award-winning Kingdom director Kim Seonghun.

 

Speaking on the eve of the start of production, Kangfull – the creator of the original Moving webtoon universe and the screenwriter of Moving Season 1 and 2, said: "With the first season of Moving, my goal was to establish a new benchmark for Korean superhero narratives. For the second, I intend to raise that bar even higher, evolving the series into something truly exceptional."

 

To celebrate today’s announcement, a special teaser video was also released, featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the first table read, as well as a greeting from some of the Season 2 cast.

 

Speaking on today’s announcement, Carol Choi, Executive Vice President of APAC Original Content Strategy at The Walt Disney Company said: “Moving demonstrated that premium Korean storytelling, rooted in emotion and delivered with cinematic ambition, can resonate with audiences around the world in a truly powerful way. As we look ahead to Season 2, we’re excited to build on that success with our creative partners and further expand the world of Moving for fans across the globe.”

 

First debuting in August 2023, Moving went on to become the most viewed Korean original series on Disney+ and Hulu* that year, with the series being dubbed “the next breakout hit from Asia” by Variety, and “surprising and powerful” by IGN. The series was nominated at the 29th Critics’ Choice Awards, and also took home awards for Best Creative, Best Visual Effects, Best Writer (Kangfull), Best Lead Actor (Ryu Seungryong), Best Newcomer Actor (Lee Jungha) and Best Newcomer Actress (Go Younjung) at Busan International Film Festival’s Asia Content Awards & Global OTT Awards, as well as the Best Series and Best Actress in a Series (Han Hyojoo) awards at the 59th Daejong International Film Award.

 

In its award-winning first season, Moving told the story of a group of South Korean special agents working to protect their super-powered children from harm and exploitation at the hands of malicious government agencies. Initially recruited because of their extraordinary abilities to fly, instantly heal, and use their enhanced senses in the field, the agents disappeared without a trace after being tasked with carrying out increasingly dubious missions. But with their children exhibiting similar abilities and a dangerous assassin rapidly picking off super-powered individuals, the parents were forced to leave their peaceful lives behind to become the “monsters” they once were. 

 

Fans of unmissable Korean storytelling can sign up to Disney+ today to enjoy immediate access to Moving Season 1 and Light Shop from Moving screenwriter Kangfull, as well as a whole host of other exceptional series including Perfect Crown, Nine Puzzles, Hyper Knife, A Shop for Killers, Big Bet, and so much more.

 

Stay tuned for more information about Moving Season 2 coming soon. The first season of Moving is now streaming on Disney+ globally.

Miss Universe Philippines 2026 Gets a Beauty Boost from Ever Bilena

Ever Bilena steps into a meaningful new chapter as it becomes the official color cosmetics sponsor of Miss Universe Philippines 2026 for the first time.

The partnership was introduced through a runway event at Ayala Malls Arca South, drawing an estimated crowd of 30,000. It was more than just a pageant appearance. It felt like a shared moment between the candidates and the women who see themselves in them.

Miss Universe Philippines 2026 candidates (L–R) include Alexandra Krishna Oriño of Albay; Megan Baldevia of Bacolod City; Felicia Aldanaof Bacoor City; Roxie Baeyens of Baguio City; Kathleen Dale Caseñas of Batangas City; Ryla Hernandez of Cabanatuan City; Erica Cadayday of Camiguin; Jencel Caña of Cavite;Apriel Smith of Cebu City; Nicole Borromeo of Cebu Province; Clarissa Westram of Cotabato Province; and Tyra Jane Godino of Dasmariñas City

One of the most memorable parts of the afternoon was when the delegates stepped off the stage and into the crowd, personally handing out Ever Bilena beauty kits along with fresh flowers. Each kit featured the brand’s best-selling Serum Tinted Lip Balm. It turned what could have been a typical event into something more personal. A simple but meaningful way to celebrate women, not just those on stage, but everyone watching.

The collaboration reflects Ever Bilena’s long-standing belief that beauty goes beyond makeup. It is about confidence, self-expression, and showing up as you are. Partnering with Miss Universe Philippines brings that message to a bigger platform, one that continues to shape how Filipina beauty is seen today.

“Ever Bilena has always been about empowering women through beauty,” said Rafeea Custodio, Brand Manager. As the competition continues, the brand also introduces the Miss Ever Bilena special award. This will be given to a candidate who best represents confidence, authenticity, and a kind of beauty that feels real and relatable.

More than a milestone for the brand, the partnership is a reminder of what Ever Bilena has always stood for. Beauty that includes, uplifts, and celebrates every Filipina.

Hong Kong’s Hasting Ng Wins Global Title at DaVinci Gourmet Barista Craft Championship 2025–26

 Hasting Ng of Hong Kong has been crowned Global Champion of the DaVinci Gourmet Barista Craft Championship 2025–26. Following an intense final at World of Coffee Bangkok 2026, Hasting secured the title against first runner-up Yasmim Rodrigues Sarandy da Silva (Brazil) and second runner-up Çetin Alpay Başkan (Türkiye), with a performance that perfectly captured this year’s theme, Espresso Your Flavour. 

This year’s competition went beyond technical mastery to celebrate individuality through flavour, storytelling and craft. By using DaVinci Gourmet’s flavour range as their toolkit, finalists were challenged to create beverages that reflected their personal journeys and cultural roots.

Hasting Ng impressed the judges with two distinct creations. His “Non-alcoholic Mulled Wine” combined Columbine Las Flores filter coffee with DaVinci Gourmet Spiced Chai and Blue Ocean syrups to build a complex, festive profile, followed by “Mango Sticky Rice”, a chilled co-fermentation espresso drink that served as a homage to Southeast Asian flavours, featuring DaVinci Gourmet Pandan and Lychee syrups. 

“Winning the Global Final in Bangkok is a milestone for me. This victory validates my belief that ‘simple is best’,” said Hasting. “When you have great ingredients and the variety of flavours from DaVinci Gourmet, you don't need to overcomplicate things to create something world-class. I wanted to bring the flavours of Thailand to the stage with my Mango Sticky Rice drink, and I’m happy it resonated with the judges.”

The Global Finalists (L-R): Yasmim Rodrigues Sarandy da Silva (Brazil, 1st Runner Up), Çetin Alpay Başkan (Türkiye, 2nd Runner Up), and Hasting Ng (Hong Kong, Champion).

The runners-up also delivered standout performances that pushed the boundaries of traditional coffee. 

Yasmim Rodrigues Sarandy da Silva (Brazil) showcased her heritage with “La Cura”, combining espresso and tea with mint, featuring DaVinci Gourmet Lemonade and Ginger syrups, and “Abuela”, a sparkling mix of carrot and beetroot juice incorporating DaVinci Gourmet Blood Orange and Almond syrups. “This competition has been an enriching journey of cultural exchange and learnings”, said Yasmim. “I am proud to have shared my beverage concepts and explored new flavour profiles on a global stage. This experience has only encouraged me to keep pushing the boundaries of creativity in my career.”

Çetin Alpay Başkan (Türkiye) delivered the savoury and bold purple basil tea-based “Aegean Breeze”, utilising DaVinci Gourmet Forest Berries syrup and Cheesecake sauce, and the “Pink Panther”, a cold brew creation featuring DaVinci Gourmet Pink Guava syrup and Condensed Milk Flavoured sauce. “Representing Türkiye and my region on the world stage, and exchanging ideas with such respected colleagues and judges has been a life-changing experience,” Çetin. “This journey with DaVinci Gourmet has been a significant milestone for my professional development, sharpening my technical skills and motivating me to reach new heights.”

The finalists were evaluated by a prestigious panel of judges, including Mikael Jasin (2024 World Barista Champion, Sensory Judge), Edward Choo (Founder of Toothless Coffee, Sensory Judge), Sarawut “Bank” Manngan (Three-time Thailand National Latte Art Champion, Technical Judge), and Shanya “Kath” Taratikundech (Founder, Promchim Coffee Academy, Sensory Judge).

“At the global finals, the theme ‘Espresso Your Flavour’ took on a powerful new meaning,” said Mikael Jasin. “I was looking for how these baristas could translate the unique flavours of their home regions into a sophisticated, global coffee experience. Each of these champions has navigated through an incredibly challenging journey, and they bring with them a depth of wisdom and expertise that was reflected in their creativity.”

“We saw more than just technical skill today; we saw identity,” said Eloise Dubuisson, General Manager, Food Service Brands, Marketing, Kerry Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa. “Hasting, Yasmim, and Çetin proved that the future of coffee is personal, and in this championship they’ve  set a new standard for beverage innovation.”

As the DaVinci Gourmet Barista Craft Championship 2025–26 concludes, the beverage solutions brand reaffirms its commitment to championing the artistry of baristas worldwide, providing the tools, flavours and platform for the next generation of coffee innovators to express who they are through what they do best.

Landco Lifestyle Ventures and NaHeal Launch “Soulful Connection” Wellness Retreat

 A moment comes when rest and reset are no longer luxuries — they become essential. Recognizing the modern leader’s need for deep restoration and clarity, LandcoLifestyle Ventures (LLV) and NaHeal, natural healing and holistic wellness platform, announce its partnership to hold “Soulful Connection”, an intimate three-day leaders’ circle wellness retreat at CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach) in Batangas.

Situated a scenic two to three-hour drive from Metro Manila, LLV flagship estate CaSoBe’s serene coastal setting provides the perfect backdrop for leaders to unplug, reflect, and re-center through immersive experiences that nourish the mind, body, and spirit.

LLV collaborates with NaHeal for curated health and wellness experiences, with a shared focus on practitioner-led activities to support the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of participants. CaSoBe is positioned as a leisure and lifestyle destination where quiet luxury is found in wellness retreats and workshops. This is part of LLV’s signature Life on Vacation philosophy, bringing to life its vision of a hospitality-led, experience-driven approach to real estate.

“Today’s leaders are constantly in motion. They are juggling strategy, teams, growth, and decisions, often at the cost of their own well-being,” said Janine Huang, Head of Brand Experience & Hospitality Commercial, Landco Lifestyle Ventures. “This partnership with NaHeal invites leaders to pause, breathe, and rediscover clarity. At CaSoBe, the rhythms of nature become part of the reset, from mindful movement by the shore to restful evenings amid the stunning seaside sunset.”

NaHeal is a wellness heart-led ecosystem where practitioners and seekers come home to themselves. Healing isn’t passive; it’s a return to alignment with the self and nature — a journey we walk one soul at a time.”

Activities include life mapping, art for healing, mindful movement sessions, sound healing, guided reflections, and restorative rest at Crusoe Cabins. The intimate sessions are intentionally comprised of 10–12 participants per schedule.

Holistic Wellness Sessions

Laxamana leads the wellness activities alongside certified practitioners and facilitators, including specialists in somatic sound resonance, Tibetan sound healing, and vibrational massage.

Each retreat day begins with mindful beach walks and coastal meditation. The art for healing session uses abstract expression as a bridge to inner emotions, while life mapping helps participants creatively trace past milestones and future aspirations to deepen self-awareness and informed decision-making.

Participants are treated to a one-hour holistic massage, and provided with a curated NaHeal Wellness Kit, designed to support participants before, during, and beyond their retreat experience.

Quiet Coastal Sanctuary at Crusoe Cabins Casobe (Calatagan South Beach)

Far more than accommodation, Crusoe Cabins at Casobebecomes a restorative haven where leaders can rest deeply and breathe freely. Stay includes nourishing meals.

Inspired by the spirit of Robinson Crusoe, the cabins are designed from innovative upcycled container vans transformed into fully furnished, modern resort units that blend rustic charm with modern comfort.

Contemporary amenities include air conditioning, mini-bar, flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and comfortable seating areas.
