  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Roundtable.

  • You're listening to Roundtable.

  • I'm liuhenglin, joined by Yu Shan and Lai Ming.

  • When is the last time you shop in a mall?

  • These days Gen Z is rediscovering the magic of those nostalgic department stores.

  • It's not just about shopping, it's about the vibe.

  • Affordable, genuine and maybe even a little bit retro.

  • Those old school giants are back on the scene.

  • So what's pulling them in?

  • And who knew that staring into the lens could become the latest trend?

  • Iris photography.

  • Yeah, that's a thing now.

  • A flash of light, a click and suddenly your eyes are a piece of art.

  • Let's talk about what makes these quirky close up eyeshots so fascinating for Gen Z and if there's any hidden danger behind this new obsession.

  • But first, picture this.

  • You walk into a department store where the lightning is a little dim, the floors are a bit worn and the sales staff gives you a smile that feels like a hug.

  • You might not find the trendish brands, but you definitely score some serious deals.

  • No need to be you influencers or any kind of bloggers to be there.

  • Just good old fashioned shopping works.
