The energy was electric as thousands of fans gathered at Axiata Arena to witness K-pop’s rising girl group, BABYMONSTER, light up the stage for their first ever concert in Malaysia. As part of their 2025 world tour, the Kuala Lumpur stop was a night full of excitement, talent, and unforgettable moments.

The group, known for their powerful vocals, stunning visuals, and energetic performances, opened the show with their hit song “DRIP,” immediately sending the crowd into a frenzy. Fans, known as MONSTIEZ, cheered loudly and waved light sticks throughout the night.

Throughout the concert, BABYMONSTER performed fan-favourite songs like “BATTER UP,” “REALLY LIKE YOU,” “CLIK CLAK,” “LIKE THAT,” and songs by BABYMONSTER's members. Each performance was filled with charisma and perfect choreography, showing how much they have grown since their debut under YG Entertainment.

The members also took time to talk to fans in English and a few Malay phrases, like “APA KHABAR MONSTIEZ,” “KORANG RINDU SAYA TAK?,” and “SAYANG KAMU,” which made the audience feel special and appreciated.

The concert ended on a high note with an emotional encore, as fans sang along, held banners showing their love, and got the photo of lovely memory with MONSTIEZ. It was clear that BABYMONSTER had left a strong impression on Malaysian fans.

With their powerful performance and close connection to fans, BABYMONSTER’s Kuala Lumpur concert was a huge success. It is proven that this group is not just the future of K-pop, they are already making history.

media release: KIIRAS Makes Explosive Debut, Storms Malaysian Music Charts with ‘KILL MA BO$$’

Rising K-pop girl group KIIRAS is already making waves in the music scene, landing impressive chart positions in Malaysia just days after their debut. Their debut album, KILL MA BO$$, clinched the No. 5 spot on the Malaysian iTunes Top Album Chart upon its release on June 13. 

Dubbed as the “5th generation super rookie,” KIIRAS is a six-member multinational girl group composed of LingLing (Malaysia’s first-ever K-pop girl group idol), Kurumi from Japan, and Harin, Kylie, Doyeon, and Roah from South Korea.

The group has gained widespread attention not only for their impactful debut but also for their electrifying live performances and commanding stage presence on major Korean music programs.

Musically, KILL MA BO$$ is a genre-blending pop track rooted in country, layered with R&B and hip-hop elements. The song’s modern “Western” twist introduces a fresh sound to the K-pop scene. Lyrically, it delivers a daring message, calling out outdated norms as “the BOSS,” and signalling the group’s intent to break boundaries and redefine standards with bold energy and flair.

Ahead of their debut, KIIRAS also turned heads with a visually striking concept teaser for KILL MA BO$$, shared via the group’s official social media platforms. The concept showcases a playful and kitschy cowgirl aesthetic set against a vividly colourful desert backdrop. From western-inspired outfits to eye-catching props, KIIRAS presents a bold and refreshing visual identity.

In the teaser images, the members balance innocence and mystique, exuding dual charms of youthful vibrancy and fierce confidence. This contrast is further highlighted in the teaser video, where soft, sunlit scenes shift into high-fashion denim looks and intense expressions.

With momentum building, KIIRAS is expected to rise even further on the charts. The group is already planning to expand their presence across Korea, Malaysia, and other global markets.

From his electrifying win on Mnet’s talent show Superstar K in 2009, which instantly launched him into national recognition, to the immediate success of his debut mini-album [Calling] which topped music charts, Seo In-guk has consistently demonstrated his star power. But his ambition didn't stop at music. He made a seamless and impactful transition into acting, achieving breakthrough success and critical acclaim with the 2012 drama 'Reply 1997.' This pivotal role solidified his status as a versatile and multi-talented entertainer, paving the way for a remarkable acting career.

Since then, he has graced our screens in a string of highly successful TV dramas that showcase his incredible range, including fan favourites like 'Master’s Sun' (2013), 'High School King of Savvy' (2014), the intriguing 'Hello Monster' (2015), the charming 'Shopping King Louie' (2016), the deeply emotional 'The Smile Has Left Your Eyes' (2018), the fantasy romance 'Doom at Your Service' (2021), and his more recent standout performances in 'Café Minamdang' (2022) and the critically acclaimed 'Death’s Game' (2023).

2025 is already proving to be an extraordinary year for Seo In-guk, packed with exciting collaborations and highly anticipated projects. He recently delighted fans by releasing "Couple," a beautiful duet with his Reply 1997 co-star Jung Eun-ji, marking their first musical collaboration in 13 years and stirring nostalgic excitement among long-time fans. Looking ahead, he is scheduled to appear in several high-profile dramas, including KBS2’s 'Twelve' and Netflix’s 'Boyfriend On Demand' (working title). However, the most anticipated upcoming drama is undoubtedly 'Boyfriend On Demand,' where he stars opposite BLACKPINK’s Jisoo.

This series, which promises a captivating blend of romantic comedy with heartfelt realism, has already generated massive buzz across Asia, largely due to the electrifying pairing of these two top-tier stars. Fans are eagerly awaiting the onscreen chemistry between Seo In-guk and Jisoo, predicting it will be one of 2025’s biggest hits.

The "Heart Cookie" Asia Fan Meeting Tour is meticulously designed to create intimate, memorable experiences for fans across the region. Each stop will feature captivating live performances showcasing his vocal prowess, surprise segments to delight attendees, engaging games, and truly heartfelt moments, offering "Heartriders" a unique and up-close opportunity to connect with Seo In-guk.

A standout highlight of the evening was a surprise fan video created by Malaysian Villains. The video showcased touching messages and clips expressing how Xdinary Heroes’ lyrics have helped fans overcome difficult times and emotional struggles. The heartfelt tribute moved the members and deepened their connection with the audience.

In return, the band charmed local fans by speaking in Malay, using phrases like “Apa khabar” and “Terima kasih” to express their appreciation for the overwhelming support received in Malaysia.

Xdinary Heroes’ debut in Kuala Lumpur was more than just a concert—it was a celebration of music, healing, and unity between artists and fans. The performance solidified their place in the hearts of Malaysian Villains and set the tone for more memorable moments as the <Beautiful Mind> World Tour continues across the globe.

media release: Taiwan’s K-pop group GENBLUE wraps up 15-day Asia promo tour, tries batik painting and roti canai in Kuala Lumpur

Fresh off the release of their debut mini album ACT LIKE THAT, Taiwan’s K-pop girl group GENBLUE recently embarked on a promotional tour across Asia, making stops in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.

In their first-ever appearance in Malaysia, the six members — AYEON, XXIN, YUAN, LILI, AYAKO and NICO — spent time with the media, visited iconic sights around the capital and immersed themselves in local culture.

Adding the element of surprise is their flash mob at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, where they performed the album’s title track, 'ACT LIKE THAT,' leaving onlookers and passersby in awe. As they greet the crowd with “Apa khabar? Kita GENBLUE!”, their attempt at speaking Malay further endeared them to Malaysia’s COOKIE – the group’s fan base.

Taking the opportunity to experience Malaysian culture, GENBLUE participated in their first traditional batik painting workshop. Using melted wax on their pens to outline the patterns before colouring, each member added a unique touch to their artwork, earning the guide’s praise.

No visit to Malaysia would be complete without a taste of its cuisine. The girls stopped by a local mamak stall to try roti canai for the first time, with the word “sedap” on repeat as they savoured the simple yet flavourful dish.

Meanwhile in Thailand, GENBLUE collaborated on dance challenges with several Thai stars, including Pisitpol “Jump” Ekaphongpisit, Patchata “Fiat” Janngeon, girl groups Véra and Blyss, as well as Gen Alpha icon Nina Nutthacha Jessica Padovan.

As an indication of their growing influence and hard work paying off, the group’s social media following grew by nearly 20% after embarking on the tour, on top of their K-POP Rookie Award win at the Korea Culture Entertainment Awards last year.

With their already loaded suitcases now added with souvenirs and memories, GENBLUE returned to base in Taiwan for a fan meeting and signing event, marking the tour’s final stop.

While the tour has wrapped, there is much more to come from GENBLUE. Fans will be elated to know that new GENBLUE music is on the way, expected to be released sometime in September 2025.
