First Time, Forever: ATEEZ & CRAVITY’s Unforgettable Malaysian Debut at Kpop Masterz 2025

Wednesday, June 04, 2025


If the walls of the MIECC could talk, they’d still be echoing the thunderous cheers from the night of May 31, when KPOP MASTERZ 2025 IN KUALA LUMPUR brought ATEEZ and CRAVITY to Malaysian shores for the first time ever. For the lucky fans who packed the venue to the brim, it was more than a concert — it was an emotional high, a celebration of K-pop, and a dream come true.


CRAVITY opened the night with their explosive hit “VENI VIDI VICI,” instantly lighting a fire under the crowd. With the members — Serim, Allen, Jungmo, Woobin, Wonjin, Minhee, Hyeongjun, Taeyoung, and Seongmin — visibly glowing with excitement, the rookie group made their long-awaited Malaysian debut with infectious joy. “We love this stage!” they shouted, as LUVITYs responded with deafening screams.

To showcase their playful side, CRAVITY dove into a round of interactive games including dice guessing, a floating plastic bag challenge, and bottle fishing. Each game was met with cheers and laughter, especially when the losing members were hilariously “punished” with runway walks and exaggerated aegyo.

The night also had some heartfelt and cheeky moments, especially when the group shared their love for durian, finally getting to taste the iconic fruit on this trip. “Do you like durian?” they asked with grins, only to follow up with a flirtatious, “But do you like durian... or CRAVITY more?”

As they wrapped up their hour-long set, the boys offered a sweet touch that melted hearts, greeting Malaysian fans with Raya wishes, a thoughtful nod to the local culture that earned them another wave of adoration.


If CRAVITY lit the spark, ATEEZ brought the fire. The roar that greeted the group’s appearance shook the venue — so loud, it nearly drowned out the opening beats of their set. And when the members dove into tracks like “Ice On My Teeth,” “BOUNCY,” and “Say My Name,” it was clear the night had reached a fever pitch.


The ATINY fan chants were so powerful and synchronized, it felt like a military drill — and not just any drill, but one fueled by love, adrenaline, and years of anticipation. 

In a highlight that pulled at every heartstring, ATEEZ surprised fans with a performance of “Turbulence”. It’s a slower, reflective anthem rarely included in recent setlists, and the moment it began, fans knew they were witnessing something special. For Malaysian ATINYs, it was a gift wrapped in sentiment and sincerity, one that many had waited years to see live.

Between the eye contact games, emoji-inspired triple poses, and spontaneous moments of fan interaction, ATEEZ made sure no one left without a smile or tears.

Just when fans thought the night was over, one final surprise awaited: a special BYE session. Fans from the VVIP, VIP, CAT1 and CAT2 sections were treated to an up-close farewell as both groups walked the front of the stage and circled the standing zone, waving, smiling, and soaking in the love from every corner of the venue.

For many in attendance, it was the kind of memory that lasts a lifetime.
