Your favorite men’s lifestyle magazine’s latest issue for June/July 2019 have hit the newsstands – featuring the star of Disney’s brand new sensation, “Aladdin”, the title character himself, Mena Massoud on the cover.
A message from our Publisher/ Editor-in-Chief Ronald Liem
Every May, while preparing DAMAN’s June/July issue, I will always set aside a day or two to go over the photos taken during the year’s DAMAN Party. In this case, the twelfth. I always find it an uplifting experience to relive the event from a fresh perspective. It’s also uplifting to see a new format—a new tradition, if you will—really taking root and becoming a celebrated part of the magazine.
I am talking, of course, about the Awards portion of the DAMAN Party experience. Introduced last year, it proved to be quite popular among guests and fans of the magazine. Award ceremonies are always exciting, but being able to be the one to say to an artist, “Hey, your work has really inspired a lot of people and we want to thank you for that” feels great. DAMAN has always celebrated talented people—and being able to take it a step further is a true privilege.
Of course, we also have a range of new talents—new to the magazine, at least—that we want to highlight in this issue. There’s Mike Moh, for one, who is set to take up the mantle of Bruce Lee in the upcoming “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” We also have Mena Massoud, star of the upcoming liveaction adaptation of Disney’s “Aladdin.” It goes without saying that these two have quite a lot of interesting stories to share. The same goes for Jack Quaid along with local stars Arifin Putra and Jessica Iskandar.
So, as always, I invite you to cruise through the pages of this issue, and hopefully, you will find stories that will inspire and entertain. Happy reading.
