The Straits Times
|December 27, 2025
The concerts here by K-pop girl group Blackpink may have ended in November, but one member still has Singapore on her mind.

On Dec 25, South Korean singer-actress Jisoo posted an Instagram Story showcasing macarons from a Singapore-founded artisanal brand Sugarsmith. She captioned it “Merry merry christmas”, adding emojis of two hearts and a Christmas tree. The post was unsolicited and not a paid partnership.
Sugarsmith is a premium macaron patisserie known for handcrafted, character-themed macarons and official Sanrio licensing, which means Sanrio characters can be used on its sweet treats. The brand was launched in June by co-founders and couple Andreas Koh and Adriana Zheng, and has an outlet at Jewel Changi Airport.
