TAEYONG Successfully Wrapped His 1st Solo Concert in Malaysia
Tuesday, April 14, 2026
After nine long years, TAEYONG finally returned to Malaysia — and this time, it's for his solo concert.
Held last Saturday (11 April) at Idea Live Arena, the 2026 TAEYONG CONCERT IN KUALA LUMPUR marked not only his first-ever solo concert in the country, but also a meaningful moment just four months after his military discharge. For fans who had waited nearly a decade, the night felt both surreal and deeply personal. The show exploded to life with a powerful opening sequence of “Locked,” “Loaded,” “Skiii,” and “APE,” immediately setting the tone for a high-energy, no-holds-barred performance. From the very first beat, TAEYONG commanded the stage with precision, charisma, and a renewed sense of freedom that only amplified his artistry.Balancing intensity with emotion, he treated fans to beloved tracks like “Ruby” and “Tap,” before unveiling a newer side of himself through “Am I In Love or Not,” seamlessly transitioning into “Love Theory.” Each segment of the concert reflected his evolving musical identity — raw, experimental, yet undeniably heartfelt.
What made Kuala Lumpur especially meaningful, however, went beyond the setlist. As the final stop of his solo Asia tour, the city holds a special place in TAEYONG’s heart thanks to his longtime collaborator and best friend, Zayson. The Malaysian-born producer, who has worked closely with TAEYONG on projects including his “404” series, became the bridge that connected the artist more deeply to the country.
“It's been such a long time since I came to Malaysia. I really miss y’all, and I promise I will come back more often to meet everyone,” TAEYONG shared sincerely, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
He also expressed his desire to experience more of Malaysia beyond the stage. “Every time when I visit, the schedule is very tight. I always wanted to visit Batu Caves, but didn’t have the chance. Hopefully next time, I get to go.” He added with a smile that he hopes to finally try satay on his next visit — a simple wish that fans are already eager to see fulfilled.Throughout the night, TAEYONG made an effort to connect in a more personal way, charming fans with his Malay phrases like “Saya rindu kamu,” “Korang enjoy tak,” and “Saya sayang kamu,” each one met with overwhelming cheers and affection.
In an exciting surprise, he also hinted at new music on the way — a promise that quickly turned into reality as teasers for his upcoming single “Rocks Solid” featuring Anderson .Paak dropped shortly after the concert, with the release set for 17 April. The night closed on a high with two encore performances, leaving fans both fulfilled and longing for more. As the final notes faded, one thing was certain — this wasn’t just a concert, but a long-awaited reunion, a new beginning, and a reminder of the unbreakable bond between TAEYONG and his Malaysian fans.
With new music on the horizon and future group activities with NCT and NCT 127 to look forward to, the story doesn’t end here — in fact, it’s only just getting started.
