As soon as Mei Ting's lines of dialogue came out, it had the flavor of a drama that would mark the beginning of the Year of the Horse. From "In the World", which revived period dramas, to the hit "South and North" the year before last, and even last year's "Six Sisters"...
From July 8th to 9th, the 2023 TMEA Tencent Music Entertainment Festival (hereinafter referred to as "TMEA" or "Grand Ceremony") hosted by Tencent Music Entertainment Group was grandly held in Macau, China. With the new theme of "Music For Fun", this year's TMEA brings together an international lineup of performers, better and more diverse stage performance designs, and a newly upgraded two-day and four-session music ceremony and music festival carnival, creating a music journey that is twice as happy for thousands of music fans.
With the support of Tongcheng Travel, the general sponsor of this event, TMEA will work with Tongcheng Travel to accompany music fans to explore the music world and experience the joy of travel, making every gathering meaningful. In order to allow more music fans to experience the live spectacle of the music ceremony, Tencent Music Entertainment Group's four major platforms, QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music, and National Karaoke, will be presented online.
Not only that, this year's TMEA also joined hands with global music partners to demonstrate the continuous improvement of the high level and inclusiveness of the Chinese music industry. While bringing high-quality experience to users and crowning industry honors, it also provided more new opportunities for domestic and foreign high-quality artists and their works with both international influence and national attention, jointly creating a new benchmark for the global high-quality stage of the Chinese music market.
Go in both directions to witness glorious moments with outstanding musicians from around the world
Re-engrave the youth of the times and record the growth of the industry. This year, TMEA's international lineup can be called "the most ever", including not only Jolin Tsai, Chen Zhuoxuan, Deng Dian, Faye Zhan Wenting, Guo Guanting, Huang Guanzhong, Hu Yan Bin, JJ Lin, Li Jiawei, Liu Xijun, Liu Yuxin, Meng Jia, MIKA, Pan Yunqi, Wang Jingwen, Shang Wenjie, Su Xing, Xu Jiaying, Xianzi, Yuan Yawei, Zhang Dongliang, Zhang Jie, Zhang Liangying, Zhou Shen and other outstanding singers from different generations in the Chinese music scene, as well as Cui Zige, Deng Yujun (Waiting for Who?), Pharaoh, Gao Wuren, Liu Shuang, Man Shuke, Su Yuyang, TizzyT, Wang Yinuo and other representative musicians of different music styles, as well as Aimer, Greyson Chance, Hanazawa Kana, milet, Uesugi Noboru and other overseas musicians who are loved by music fans around the world have joined the band. It not only realizes a two-way journey between singers, musicians and music fans, but also conveys the Chinese music market's tolerance for diverse music, and demonstrates the increasing attention and respect that overseas musicians have for the Chinese music market.
Aiming to create a chronicle of the Chinese music industry, TMEA will continue to reward practitioners, singers and musicians who have contributed to music creation, stage performances, user love and the development of various fields of the music industry in the past year. Among the high-profile winners, the Best Mainland Male and Female Singer of the Year, Best Chinese Group of the Year and Popular Physical Album of the Year awards were respectively won by Zhang Jie, Jane Zhang, Gao Wuren and Wang Yuan's "Living Room Carnival" Secret Greenhouse Series Vinyl, in recognition of these musicians in front of and behind the scenes. People and creators have set benchmarks for the development of the Chinese music scene; the announcement of the annual best rapper, Chinese style singer, electronic music DJ, rock band and other music category awards also demonstrates the strong and diverse vitality of the Chinese music market in the past year.
In addition, the "Top Ten Hot Songs" that attracted much attention in the last session will also continue to be presented as the choices of netizens, recording the real development and evolution of the Chinese music scene. The "Top Ten Hot Songs" and the "Top Ten Golden Songs" together show different aspects of the diverse development of the Chinese music scene.
TMEA also presented important awards to overseas singers and musicians such as the Most Influential Overseas Singer of the Year and the Most Influential Overseas Group of the Year. Through an honorary stage that focuses global attention, TMEA allows the world to see the professionalism and high standards of the Chinese music industry, as well as the huge market potential.
Music Festival + Music Ceremony, a global music event worthy of everyone
As another highlight of this year's TMEA, the newly upgraded music ceremony and music festival gathers thousands of music fans on the "most wanted stage of the year". Based on the links and themes of different chapters of the performance, it creates a collision between the world's top singer lineup and trendy culture. To care for music fans through super musical aesthetics, on the one hand, national-level singers in the Chinese music scene gathered together, while living up to the expectations of music fans, and constantly conveying the theme of "singing for happiness"; at the same time, international musicians who exceeded expectations also led online and offline audiences to experience the borderless charm of music culture.
From Jolin Tsai's 30-minute super long medley and gorgeous stage singing and dancing performance, medley of JJ Lin's nearly 10 golden songs, medley of many Jianghu heroic songs by Zhang Jie, to "OST King" Zhou Shen's soulful performance of "Brilliant Adventurer", Jane Zhang's appearance with the "beautiful love song" "One Circle", Shang Wenjie's "Follow your" The premiere of the new song "Love with My Heart", Yuan Yawei's hit medley "Dancing on the Moon (EMO WHISKEY)" and "God's Prophecy", and then Liu Yuxin's powerful naked-eye 3D lava stage "Boom Tick" Boom", powerful singer Li Jiawei tells a touching and profound regret with a song "That Moment", Tencent musician Liu Shuang creates an immersive audio-visual experience with "Rose Thief" with elements of inverted city and petal rain... These singers who have accompanied the youth of music fans from different circles gathered together to bring a "memory killing". They have always insisted on devoting all their love to the music scene, adding a mellowness that has accumulated over time to the happy atmosphere of this ceremony.
In addition to "national" singers, singers such as Deng Yujun (Waiting for You), Wang Jingwen and others who are "by your side" also performed the Beijing Winter Olympics support songs "Treading on the Snow", "Be Careful" and "A Good Marriage", "Fifty Years Later", "Once You Said" and "Dive In" Familiar songs such as "Small Town Summer" reflect the vast love for music among music fans. The real user listening behavior behind them and the different musical lives reflected behind the songs are also the kind of happiness that this TMEA Music Ceremony wants to present.
It is worth mentioning that, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the founding of Beyond, TMEA also created a special tribute segment and invited Huang Guanzhong to sing the classic songs "Glory Days", "No More Hesitation" and "Broader Seas and Sky". The classic songs "Lonely Warrior", "Light Wrapped in the Heart" and "Ke", reinterpreted in a new style by Chen Zhuoxuan and Mika, and "Until the End of the World" sung by Noboru Uesugi, who came to the TMEA stage for the second time, also reminded everyone of the songs in time and the people who were remembered in the familiar melody.
On the first day of the music ceremony, the TMEA ceremony set up a special tribute session to commemorate the treasure singer CoCo in the Chinese music scene. At the scene, two singers, Jane Zhang and Yuan Yawei, gave introductory speeches and sang CoCo's masterpiece "365 Days of Missing You" together, expressing their love and memory for CoCo with the most sincere emotions.
In addition, as a new upgrade of TMEA, the two-day TMEA Music Festival, supported by all walks of life in Macau, also uses Tencent Music's ecological integration capabilities to use the ultimate stage and unprecedented close-up experience to bring a dizzying "shock wave" of global trend music culture. It also allows many music fans to meet their favorite singers and idols for the first time, and experience first-hand the annual debut of musicians from around the world and different cultural charms.
The industry works together to tell the story of the influence of Chinese music
Committed to creating its own pinnacle event for China's digital music entertainment industry, TMEA has continued to write records for the development of Chinese music culture since the first event, and actively builds a bridge for cooperation and interaction between artists at home and abroad, providing users at home and abroad with more diverse and high-quality entertainment content.
At present, thanks to the continuous value creation and international exploration of enterprises and creators in all aspects of the domestic music industry, the global ranking of China's music market has jumped to fifth place in the world this year. Under this trend of "global attention", as a representative of China's high-level music events, TMEA is based on its continuous in-depth development of industry services and deep insights into the emotions and needs of users. With the purpose of creating high-quality happy experiences for users, it joins hands with the entire industry in front of and behind the scenes to tell the influential story of Chinese music. While creating a shocking stage visual effects experience at a high level and setting a new benchmark for global high-quality stages, it also further assists the internationalization process of the Chinese music industry.
Responding to global respect with continued strengthening of influence building, this two-day, four-event 2023TMEA builds a Chinese music culture scene where the entire industry prospers together. It not only creates a happy experience for users, but also achieves the continuous release of the influence of quality music in various fields. As China's music industry continues to develop, I also look forward to seeing TMEA again with music fans with richer achievements in building global influence.
With the popularity of the TV series "Hurry Up", Zhang Songwen, one of the leading actors, has also gained recognition from the audience for his superb acting skills in the drama. Many people have become his fans, making him completely popular, even though he was not very popular at first. He is still red and purple. Especially in recent days, topics about him often appear in hot searches, and the popularity continues to rise.
Zhang Songwen can be said to be top-notch now, and his activities have naturally attracted the attention of countless people. Previously, when he went to the celebration party of "Hurry Up", he was mobbed by fans at the airport. This time, some gossip media posted a picture of Zhang Songwen buying vegetables at the vegetable market on social platforms. There were more than one gossip paparazzi following him that day, and many of them were secretly filming, hoping to get first-hand revelations.
On that day, I saw Zhang Songwen dressed very low-key, wearing a black sweatshirt worth 100 yuan, a white baseball cap and a black mask, wrapping himself very tightly. Even so, he was recognized by the media and came to follow him. He was buying vegetables at the vegetable market that day and stood in front of a stall to communicate with the stall owner. He was very friendly to the people and had no celebrity airs at all. Although he is now a famous star, he is still the same as before, no difference at all.
The communication between Zhang Songwen and the stall owner was very smooth. It seemed that he often came here to buy things. After he became famous this time, the stall owner also wanted to take a photo as a souvenir. He did not refuse and allowed the stall owner to take pictures without any celebrity airs. It seems that his popularity did not inflate him and he remained very low-key in his private life.
It is worth mentioning that after becoming famous, he has not forgotten his true feelings. He still lives a low-key and simple life. He does many things by himself. When he was surrounded by fans, he even said that he was very panicked. He had never seen such a scene. He even said sorry to fans, which was so down-to-earth.
His acting skills in the drama "Hurry Up" have been recognized by everyone, and he deserves to be famous. I look forward to his next work and hope it will be released as soon as possible!
After experiencing the "horror design" controversy, Jiangnan Buyi has chosen to make a fortune in a low-key manner in recent years.
Jiangnan Buyi, which is listed on the Hong Kong stock market, announced its results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 (July 2025-December 2025) at the end of February.
The financial report shows that in the past six months, the clothing company's total revenue reached 3.376 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7%; gross profit was 2.246 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.2%; net profit was 676 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.9%; net cash flow generated from operating activities was 996 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.1%. In addition, the company's gross profit margin also reached 66.5%, an increase of 1.4 percentage points from the same period last year.
Although the growth rate is not significant, in the fiercely competitive clothing industry, especially the women's clothing industry, Jiangnan Buyi seems to have stepped out of the shadow of the "horror design" that once caused an uproar among children's clothing brands, and has experienced upward performance for two consecutive years.
The company's CFO Fan Yongkui said at the interim fiscal year results meeting that the "10 billion retail" target remains unchanged for the time being, but it does not purely pursue digital growth and does not intend to rely on mergers and acquisitions to increase scale. He also said that based on the performance in the first half of the year, the full-year net profit target is expected to be exceeded.
Men's clothing is still "underperforming", LESS and children's clothing have strong growth
A careful look at Jiangnan Buyi's performance will reveal that although revenue and performance are still growing, the growth rate is very difficult.
Although everyone is already familiar with Jiangnan Buyi's brand, Jiangnan Buyi has actually positioned its internal brands in three directions: mature brands, namely the main brand JNBY; growth brands, namely men's clothing sketch, children's clothing jnby by JNBY, and high-end women's clothing LESS for working women; and emerging brands, including POMME DE TERRE (Pengma), JNBYHOME, onmygame, and B1OCK.
In addition, Observer.com noticed that Jiangnan Buyi also successfully registered the trademark RERERE RERERE in February this year. The categories include jewelry and watches, furniture, fabrics and bed sheets, material processing and other fields. It does not rule out the establishment of new brands in new fields.
The mature brand JNBY is still the main contributor to performance. The revenue of a single brand of 1.86 billion yuan accounted for nearly 55.1% of the total revenue, and it is still growing based on the 2025 fiscal year. However, mature brands are also the slowest growing among all distributions, with a year-on-year growth rate of only 5.7%.
Despite this, based on the huge base of the main brand, this part's proportion of the company's performance is still expanding.
The "growth potential" of growth brands is better than that of main brands. The revenue of this part of 1.279 billion yuan has a year-on-year growth rate of 6.3%.
Among them, LESS, a brand targeting women in the workplace, is growing the fastest, with revenue of 390 million yuan growing 16.3% year-on-year, much higher than jnby by JNBY and Kuaishou. Fan Yongkui said that LESS's brand growth is the result of coordinated promotion of multiple strategies, not a single measure.
Children's clothing jnby by JNBY still has the highest revenue among growing brands, reaching 495 million yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 4.1%.
The most “lost” performance is the men’s clothing brand Sketch. Its revenue of 389 million yuan has been ranked at the bottom of this series, with a year-on-year growth rate of only 0.4%, which is almost negligible.
Although the retail sales of the men's clothing market have been increasing year by year in recent years, Jiangnan Buyi does not seem to have captured this wave of demand. On the contrary, sketches that emphasize the literary and youthful style are not as affordable as Uniqlo and more suitable for casual workplace needs, nor are they more functional than outdoor brands with a surge in demand. They have not been able to successfully seize the limited equipment budget of male consumers.
What surprised the market was that in terms of growth rate, the fastest growing revenue came from emerging brands. Revenue of 237 million yuan increased by 22.42% year-on-year based on last year, which is the fastest growing part of each segment.
Among the emerging brands, POMME DE TERRE and onmygame are mainly for children's clothing, JNBYHOME is for home and lifestyle, and B1OCK is a boutique fashion department store brand acquired in 2024.
It is not difficult to find that both jnby by JNBY and children's clothing brands among emerging brands have shown strong purchasing power in the context of overall sluggish consumer demand. Jiangnan Buyi also captured this and opened a new store type "jnby+ children's clothing imagination collection store" at the end of 2025.
Executive Director and CEO Wu Huating emphasized the importance of the children's clothing field at the interim results meeting, saying that the new store types the company is exploring in the children's clothing field are not just in the retail field, but also the exploration and innovation of the relationship with consumers, and create a full-scenario experience space around the children's clothing brand.
With 281 million yuan spent on land to build a base, can the “10 billion retail sales” goal be achieved?
Although the consumer market's impression of Jiangnan Buyi is still a fashion apparel company, judging from its past investments, it is no longer limited to the apparel industry.
Jiangnan Buyi made a large expenditure last year when it won the bid for a land parcel in Shuangpu, Hangzhou, for 281 million yuan in July. This industrial land is located in the hinterland of the Shuangpu unit of Zhijiang in Hangzhou, covering an area of 200,000 square meters. It is intended to be the global digital base for Jiangnan Buyi in Hangzhou.
According to the project registration form, the total investment in this base is US$306.16 million (converted to approximately 2.18 billion yuan). The construction content mainly includes factories, R&D headquarters, living facilities, etc., and is required to start construction in May 2026 and be completed in April 2029.
Fan Yongkui also gave a detailed explanation of the project at the performance meeting, saying that the original Xiaoshan site can no longer meet the business scale. The base is not only a traditional logistics park, but also positioned as a national goods distribution center. It will realize the sharing of all products online and offline nationwide channels: "According to business planning, outsourcing logistics costs are high, and self-construction is more cost-effective than leasing."
According to public information, the land will be divided into two phases, one of which covers an area of 72,000 square meters. It is also positioned as focusing on logistics functions as mentioned by Fan Yongkui, and has been basically finalized. The second phase covers an area of approximately 131,300 square meters. The current plan is to serve as a cultural center, including a creative research incubation base, brand marketing venue, etc.
However, the positioning of the second-phase land parcel is also the most controversial part among investors. Supporters believe that investment in digital research can produce exclusive, high-quality fabrics through independent research and development and strengthen the product moat; but opponents believe that from land to factories to fabric production, the company will increase the proportion of heavy assets and drag down funds and finances.
In fact, the management also revealed that this base is based on the Xiaoshan Logistics Center invested in 2019, which will pay back the capital in about 20 years, and is focused on the asset value after 20 years. This aspect is an advantage for the company's major shareholders, but it is difficult to say whether it will not have a negative impact on the income of small shareholders.
In addition to acquiring land last year involving factory construction and future park operations, Jiangnan Buyi also jointly acquired the British furniture company Established & Sons (E&S) in 2024 with the Contemporary Art and Design Brand Management Agency (GDD), which can be said to be both overseas and cross-border.
However, after nearly two years, Jiangnan Buyi’s overseas business performance does not seem to be eye-catching. The financial report shows that in the first half of fiscal year 2026, the company's revenue from non-Mainland China businesses was approximately 19.792 million yuan. Although there was a 14.57% growth rate over the previous year, it only contributed less than 0.6% to the overall revenue.
Jiangnan Buyi's management emphasized in the financial report that the company is "China's most influential designer brand fashion group" and will further optimize designer brands and categories, as well as continue to improve forward-looking design and R&D capabilities, as the company's focus. Fan Yongkui also emphasized that he will strive to make the company an enterprise that can survive economic cycles.
A specific time node is that by the middle of 2026, it will also be the target node of Jiangnan Buyi’s “10 billion retail sales”. The market will also wait and see whether he can complete the goal he set seven years ago.
According to Xinhua News Agency, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bagaei said on the 3rd that the United States was "telling lies" and that Iran did not conduct uranium enrichment activities during the negotiations.
According to a report by the Islamic Republic of Iran News Agency on the 3rd, Bagaei held a press conference at an attacked primary school in the capital Tehran that day. He said that Iran is a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Although it enjoys the right to enrich uranium, it did not conduct uranium enrichment activities during the negotiations between Iran and the United States last week.
Bagaei said that U.S. President Trump’s special envoy Witkov said in an interview a few hours ago that the U.S. asked Iran to stop its nuclear and missile programs, stop all support for its Middle East allies, and even abandon its navy during the Iran-U.S. negotiations, but “these issues were not mentioned at all during the negotiations. These are lies fabricated by the U.S. to make excuses for military operations.” “Deception has become a pattern of U.S. diplomacy.”
The third round of indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States was held on February 26 in Geneva, Switzerland.
According to CCTV News, on March 3, local time, Ali Bahraini, Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, stated that if any military base in a neighboring country is used to attack or invade another country, it will be regarded as a legitimate target for defensive strikes. It is unacceptable to use the land of neighboring countries to facilitate the invasion of Iran. Iran will continue to defend itself until its aggression ceases.
Bahraini also expressed deep doubts about the effectiveness of US-Iran negotiations and said now is not the time for negotiations.

On October 25, Korean media reported that the Incheon Police Department filed a non-detention case against G-Dragon on suspicion of violating laws related to drug management.
In addition, the police did not release any more information and said: "This is a case under investigation and the specific content cannot be disclosed."
Immediately afterwards, G-Dragon's agency responded that it was understanding, while his former agency YG said it was inconvenient to answer because G-Dragon is no longer an artist under its umbrella.
After the matter brewed for two days, on the 27th, G-Dragon responded to the drug-related investigation through his lawyer Kim Soo-hyun: "I am G-Dragon. First of all, there is no fact that I have taken drugs."
In the statement, G-Dragon denied taking drugs and said that he had nothing to do with the "violation of drug control laws" recently reported in the media. However, because many people are worried, he will actively assist the investigation agency in the investigation and treat it more honestly.
Is G-Dragon really as innocent as he says? Not really!
As early as 2011, Quan Zhilong was found to be taking drugs. The police conducted a hair test on him and tested positive for marijuana. Quan Zhilong explained that he smoked because he was offered cigarettes by an unknown person at a party and was too embarrassed to refuse.
But at that time, the prosecutor believed that Quan Zhilong had not smoked marijuana for a long time, and the amount of marijuana involved in this case was very small, so he was sentenced to suspended prosecution.
According to the prosecutor in charge of the case, suspended prosecution is a criminal penalty that determines the facts of the crime but does not prosecute after a comprehensive evaluation based on factors such as age, criminal motive, and whether to reflect.
However, professionals have analyzed that it is not normal for a positive reaction to occur after just a few puffs of cigarettes.
G-Dragon once apologized to fans at a concert for this matter.
Unexpectedly, 12 years later, Quan Zhilong would be involved in a drug abuse case again. If we look back, Quan Zhilong's statement of "accidental inhalation" at the time may be to cover up his history of drug abuse.
Quan Zhilong was born in 1988. He showed extraordinary creative ability since he was a child. He joined the child star group "Roo' Ra" as a singer at the age of 6.
When he was 8 years old, he was asked by SM to sign a contract as a trainee, but in the end SM did not sign him because G-Dragon's appearance was too ordinary.
When he was 13 years old, G-Dragon's self-composed song "My Age is 13" attracted widespread attention and he became a signed trainee of YG. After that, he debuted in the five-member group Bigbang with Dong Yongbae, Kang Daesung, Choi Seunghyun, and Lee Seunghyun.
In August 2006, Big Bang appeared at YG's 10th anniversary concert and quickly became the idol boy group that created an era. They have achieved great success in the Asian music scene with their unique music style, personality and fashion taste, and are known as "Asia's No. 1 Boy Group".
As the leader, G-Dragon is the soul of the Bigbang boy band. He has an original "G-style" singing, and is also responsible for lyrics, music, dance, rap and production.
Not only that, he can also serve as a concert stage designer. He is regarded by the Korean entertainment industry as an idol with no shortcomings and has become the most unique label and symbol of Hallyu.
When the negative news about drug-related news comes out this time, you can imagine how frustrated fans will be.
It is reported that the South Korean police discovered clues about G-Dragon during their recent investigation into actor Lee Sun-kyun's alleged drug abuse.
Last week, Lee Sun Kyun was accused of smoking methamphetamine with a woman at a residence in Gangnam District, Seoul multiple times between 2019 and 2020.
The police tracked Quan Zhilong through the woman's mobile phone call records and bank account transaction records, so they launched a specific investigation against him.
Moreover, the woman is one of the persons in charge of an entertainment venue, and the entertainment venue is a high-end venue frequented by entertainers and descendants of chaebols. The police are currently expanding the scope of the investigation, and it is estimated that more people may be involved!
So far, the five members of Bigbang (now there are only three members), except for the lead singer Dong Yongbae (Taeyang), who got married early and had children, and did not cause any negative issues, the others have all collapsed, and they are also involved in drugs.
Bigbang's collapse started when Jiang Da Daesong hit someone with his car and died in 2011.
The police said that the deceased fell to the ground after hitting a streetlight while driving a motorcycle under the influence of alcohol. Jiang DaDaSheng did not notice the deceased and the crushing accident occurred. Since the specific time of death could not be confirmed, Jiang Da Da was eventually dealt with without suspicion, but this also had a considerable impact on his career.
Thereafter, drugs were allegedly circulated in the entertainment business premises in the building under Jiang Dasheng's name, and drugs were secretly provided to VIP customers. Although this is not directly related to Jiang DaSheng, Jiang DaSheng has been criticized for his drug-related reputation.
In June 2017, TOP Choi Seung-hyun was accused by the prosecutor of smoking marijuana and was sentenced to 10 months in prison with two years of probation. Being riddled with negativity, he quit the team directly to reduce the negative impact on Bigbang as a whole.
It was Lee Seung Hyun (Victory) who made Bigbang's reputation hit rock bottom.
After police investigation, he was suspected of drug abuse, sexual assault, money laundering, sex trafficking, pimping, political and business collusion, illegal distribution of sex videos, etc. In the end, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison on nine charges including introducing prostitution, overseas gambling, instigating special violence, and money laundering.
In addition, Li Shengli was also accused by the prosecutor of taking MDMA (a common ecstasy ingredient) and other drugs. Li Shengli was involved in everything from pornography, gambling, and drugs.
Li Shengli was released from Liju Prison in February this year. However, it was later revealed by the media that he still did not give up his beloved "old business" and kept contacting acquaintances and friends in the entertainment industry to make appointments to go to nightclubs.
In addition to Quan Zhilong this time, four of the five people in the group collapsed, which is really disappointing.
Previously, including "Best Actors" Lee Sun Kyun and Yoo Ah In, singers Nam Tae Hyun, Don Spike, Ha Jung Woo, Ju Ji Hoon, "Uncle Psy" PSY... and other drug abuse incidents occurred one after another.
Drug-related celebrities include actors, singers, singing and dancing idols, behind-the-scenes producers and other industries in the entertainment industry; the drugs they are involved in include propofol, marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, ketamine and heroin, which can be called an encyclopedia of common drugs.
In recent years, the drug epidemic in South Korea has become increasingly serious, and celebrity drug involvement is obviously just the tip of the iceberg.
It is reported that the South Korean government has begun to increase its efforts to crack down on drug crimes, hoping to stop the spreading trend. However, with such a strong crackdown, it is likely that more Korean celebrities will be exposed for drug involvement.
On March 2, local time, the Mobile World Congress (MWC26) will open in Barcelona, Spain. Observer.com learned from the scene that Huawei will display the latest Atlas 950 SuperPoD and TaiShan 950 SuperPoD and other multiple models of super node products and solutions overseas for the first time, emphasizing its insistence on open source and openness, building a solid computing power base, and providing new choices for the world.
The Atlas 950 super node first appeared at the Huawei Full Connection Conference in 2025.
At that time, Huawei Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun introduced the Ascend 950DT chip, which focused more on the inference Decode stage and training scenarios. The Atlas 950 super node supports a maximum of 8192 Ascend 950DT cards through the "Lingqu" all-optical interconnection, which will be more than 20 times that of the Ascend 384 super node. Its computing power scale will also be significantly improved, with FP8 computing power reaching 8E FLOPS, FP4 computing power reaching 16E FLOPS, and interconnection bandwidth reaching 16PB/s. This number means that the total interconnection bandwidth of an Atlas 950 product is more than 10 times the peak bandwidth of the global Internet today.
Judging from indicators such as computing power scale and interconnection bandwidth, Atlas 950 will be the world's strongest super node for many years to come. Compared with NVIDIA's NVL144, which will be launched in the second half of 2026, the scale of the Atlas 950 super node card is 56.8 times, the total computing power is 6.7 times, the memory capacity is 15 times, reaching 1152TB, and the interconnection bandwidth is 62 times, reaching 16.3PB/s. Even compared with the NVL576, which NVIDIA plans to launch in 2027, the Atlas 950 super node is still ahead in all aspects.
Huawei demonstrates super node at MWC2026
Frankly speaking, Ascend chips are limited by the manufacturing process, and single-card indicators will be in a state of catching up for a long time. So is it as simple as stacking 8192 chips for Atlas 950 to surpass Nvidia? Observer.com has also reported before that stacking cards is a way to increase the scale of domestic computing power, but simply stacking cards roughly does not necessarily have good results. The scale of large model parameters has entered the era of trillions. The traditional server stacking model faces the dilemma of larger cluster size, lower computing power utilization, and more frequent training interruptions.
Super nodes are born to solve the multiple challenges faced by traditional computing clusters. It has changed from a traditional CPU-centered architecture to an all-equal interconnection. Whether it is CPU, NPU or memory unit, they no longer need to go through the CPU, but can be interconnected equally, improving communication efficiency. At the same time, the "highway" connecting the computing units has also changed, with new protocols and bus capabilities supporting the interconnection between devices. A true super node should have key features such as ultra-large bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and unified memory addressing, so that it can learn, think, and work logically like a computer.
Therefore, with the support of the new open interconnection protocol UnifiedBus, Atlas 950 not only increases the computing power scale and memory capacity, but also significantly enhances memory access speed, interconnection bandwidth and other capabilities. Compared with the Ascend 384 super node, the training performance of Atlas 950 is improved by 17 times, reaching 4.91M TPS. By supporting FP4 data format, the inference performance of Atlas 950 is improved by 26.5 times, reaching 19.6M TPS.
According to Observer.com, the Atlas 950 super node is expected to be released in China in the first half of this year and will be available in the fourth quarter. In addition to the Atlas 950, there is also the Atlas 850E super node unveiled in Barcelona this time, but the specific specifications have not yet been announced.
At the same time, Huawei will also showcase TaiShan 950 SuperPoD, as well as TaiShan 500, TaiShan 200 and other new generation general computing servers in Barcelona this time to meet customers' choices of high, medium and low computing power. Among them, TaiShan 950 is the world’s first general computing super node. Xu Zhijun once said that TaiShan 950 plus the distributed GaussDB database can help the financial system solve core problems and will become the terminator of all types of mainframes and minicomputers, completely replacing mainframes and minicomputers in various application scenarios as well as Oracle's Exadata database server.
Super nodes are powerful enough, but they are supported by not only chips, optical modules and other hardware, but also a large number of software ecosystems, such as heterogeneous computing architecture CANN, operating system openEuler, database openGauss, AI framework MindSpore, etc. Huawei stated that it will always adhere to technological innovation, open source and openness, build a solid computing power base, jointly build an open and win-win computing industry ecosystem, and provide new choices for the world.
