  "account": "Former Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, widely known as KJ, has apologized to newlywed couple Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and Bella Astillah for his fashion faux pas during the couple's wedding. KJ and co-host Shahril Hamdan playfully addressed the incident on their podcast show, asking for forgiveness for visually disrupting the aesthetic harmony of the big day. KJ admitted to not double-checking the invitation details, taking responsibility for the mistake with good cheer. The wardrobe blunder quickly became the internet's favorite meme, as KJ stood out starkly against the predominantly white-dressed guests at the reception. Images of the incident circulated on social media platforms, prompting lighthearted jokes and teasing from netizens. The fashion mix-up occurred due to the ceremony's all-white dress code, which KJ inadvertently contrasted with his own attire. Despite the humorous incident, the BASS wedding, which took place on October 10, was a grand success, bringing together a star-studded and memorable event.",
