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.

Special thanks to Genesis Entertainment, co-organized by S.Case Entertainment and Three Angles Production, for inviting us and bringing this unforgettable experience to Malaysian fans.

Colors of a New Era: Spotify Brings Tokyo Dome’s ‘Unicon’ Magic to Fans Worldwide

Tuesday, April 29, 2025

Spotify, the world’s most popular audio streaming subscription service, has partnered with SBS to bring fans around the world closer to the music, the artists, and the defining moments of the recent SBS Inkigayo “Unicon” in Tokyo Dome.

Held on April 12–13 in Tokyo, Japan, the two-day concert brought together Korean and Japanese artists under the theme “Colors of Spectrum”, and was broadcast on SBS over the past weekend. The lineup featured some of today’s most exciting K-Pop acts and Japanese artists—including TAEYANG, KAI, MARK, NCT DREAM, =LOVE, ATEEZ, aespa, imase, NMIXX, ZEROBASEONE, TWS, and ILLIT. Together, they delivered electrifying performances that celebrated the diversity and collaborative spirit of the region’s music scene.

To allow fans to relive the magic and energy of the event, Spotify launched the ‘SBS Inkigayo “Unicon” in Tokyo Dome’ Live Set playlist. In addition to tracks from the concert setlists, this curated collection offers a unique Spotify playlist experience with exclusive artist clips from the red carpet, and live audio recordings from artist-fan interactions during the shows.

A particularly memorable highlight from the concert took place on a special stage presented by Spotify, which saw NMIXX delivering their rendition of “APT.” by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars - one of the most-streamed K-Pop tracks on Spotify in 2024. The performance is now available to global audiences on this K-Pop ON! Spotify YouTube playlist.

Additionally, a series of exclusive performance clips by artists such as NCT DREAM, ATEEZ, ILLIT, and more have been released on the K-Pop ON! Spotify YouTube channel as well.

“We’re grateful to SBS for their partnership and for sharing in our vision to celebrate and elevate talent from the region,” said Jungjoo Park, Head of Music Korea, Spotify. “We hope fans around the world enjoy the content we’ve released as part of this collaboration—and that it brings them even closer to the artists and music they love.”

ATEEZ has done it again— a comeback promotion strategy like never before

Forget about the mainstream releases of comeback schedules and dropping off concept photos to announce a comeback.

The marketing team behind ATEEZ’s comeback preparations has introduced an absolutely new and fresh strategy for the group’s comeback!

For context, since debut, the ATEEZ lore or storyline has been extremely detailed, rich and certainly one with depth. Fans also believe that their storyline could have been curated by drawing inspiration from several movies, exploring the dystopian and time-travel themes.

Here are some engaging and spellbinding comeback promotion strategies done to promote ATEEZ’s June comeback!

In-line with (a part of) ATEEZ’s lore of ‘wanted’ fugitives who want to overthrow the ‘government’ in a dystopian world where art and music are banned, ‘WANTED’ posters were pasted around Hongdae. The QR code attached to the poster also leads us to the Official Trailer of ‘The World EP.2: OUTLAW’, the teaser for their comeback!

At the end of their Seoul concert on 28 April, fans were greeted by a mysterious billboard outside the concert venue, upon leaving the venue after the concert.

The following day, fans discovered that the same billboard was torn up and destroyed, together with the addition of red ATEEZ flags.

Fans who have been in touch with ATEEZ’s lore immediately understood that the reason behind the 'destruction' aligns with their group’s storyline and being in promotion of their June comeback!

Hidden codes were also subtly revealed on their comeback promotions photos uploaded on social media.

These codes are supposed to be used at printing franchise kiosks, where fans could print out new comeback promotion posters.

btw for those who didn't know atinys went to a printing box and they entering the code and got the poster, like woah 😧 https://t.co/IuZj5wSGYG pic.twitter.com/u8FQ0F3WpD

Following their Hot Chili Pepper ‘element’ in this comeback, mini delivery trucks, ‘selling’ Chili peppers, were seen driving around. ‘Announcements’ to promote the comeback, in HONGJOONG’s voice, could also be heard coming from the truck.

Ktinys found these mini trucks (that's usually used for selling stuff on go) with 'cheongyang chili pepper' banner & the announcement is actually in hongjoong's voice??!

2 KPOP groups to look forward to in 2022— ATEEZ & IVE

Wednesday, February 02, 2022

Looking back on 2021, it has been another amazing year for the KPOP industry yet again, from stunning debuts to addictive song releases. We simply can’t wait to check out what’s in for us, KPOP fans, in 2022!

Here are 2 groups that we believe you should look forward to in 2022!

1. ATEEZ

Members: Seonghwa, Yunho, San, Yeosang, Hongjoong, Jongho, Wooyoung & Mingi

Although ATEEZ has already been named the leader of the 4th Generation KPOP groups several times, the team continues to soar to greater heights early into 2022!

The 8-member boy group had just completed their world tour ‘The Fellowship’ in the US and they have successfully sold out majority of their stops for the concert. More stops were planned in Europe but have been postponed due to the pandemic situation. (Hopefully Singapore and Malaysia will be included in their world tour stops one day!)

On 31 January 2022, ATEEZ also released a new track, ‘Don’t Stop’ through the platform Universe. Although the team has been overseas for their world tour since mid-January, new achievements continue to follow them wherever they are!

‘Don’t Stop’ has ranked #1 in the iTunes Charts in at least 21 regions, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia! The song also debuted at #1 on the Worldwide iTunes song charts and this certainly is a huge achievement for a young 4th generation KPOP group!

ATEEZ has showed that the future of KPOP is indeed very bright and we are very much looking forward to ATEEZ’s activities in 2022!

Check out one of ATEEZ’s legendary Immortal Song performance below:

2. IVE

Members: Gaeul, Liz, Wonyoung, Yujin, Leeseo & Rei

Another group to look forward to in 2022 are the monster rookies IVE! The group also consists of former IZ*ONE members Yujin and Wonyoung.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7, you make me feel like eleven!~ It took IVE 7 days to achieve their first win and the girls have a total of 11 music show wins till date!

Debuted on 1 December 2021, the STARSHIP Ent. rookie girl group has been making headlines for breaking the record to be the fastest girl group to achieve a music show win after debut.

Visual, vocals, dance, rap, style and charisma, the rising rookie girl group has them all and they have proven to be able to show duality through their strong performances!

Check out some of IVE’s performance videos below!

Pure IVE vs Girl Crush IVE:

We will look forward to the activities of both groups in 2022! Do share with us on our socials if there are other groups that we can anticipate for this year.

3 KDramas to End Your 2021 on a Good Note

Sunday, December 26, 2021

This year, with the pandemic still keeping most of us at home, many of us have sought to spending our free time binge-watching KDramas and we have been blessed with plenty remarkable dramas!

Here are some of our KDrama picks for 2021.

Inspector Koo

Lee Young Ae as Inspector Koo Kyung-Yi

Starring Lee Young Ae, ‘Inspector Koo’ tells a story of a former police officer in her 40s, who now works as a private detective and insurance investigator.

Compared to other thriller or mystery films, the drama is directed in a rather unconventional yet refreshing manner. Slightly dark yet entertaining with a perfect mix of comedy and mystery, viewers can expect to be hooked on ‘Inspector Koo’.

Imitation

ATEEZ Yunho (Yujin), Jung Ji-so (Maha), UKISS Jun (Kwon Ryeok), T-ARA Jiyeon (La Lima)

Based on a webtoon with the same title, ‘Imitation’ talks about the life of idols, on-stage and off-stage, giving a snippet of the reality behind the glamorous lives of idols.

With the star-studded cast, namely UKISS Jun, T-ARA Jiyeon, members of ATEEZ (Yunho, Jongho, Seonghwa & San) and SF9 (Hwiyoung & Chani), the drama will show the hardships of idols, and how they will eventually make their breakthrough in their industry.

‘Imitation’ also brings together a great album of original soundtracks.

With majority of the cast members being idols themselves, they have professionally showcased their talents from a performer on stage, to an actor or actress on set.

‘Imitation’ will bring comfort, hope and many heart-warming moments to viewers.

Racket Boys

Son Sang Yeon (Yoon Dam), Tang Joon Sang (Hae Kang), Kim Kang Hoon (Yong Tae), Choi Hyun Wook (Woo Chan)
‘Racket Boys’ is a sports drama, where middle school badminton teams from Haenam, come together to attend competitions and forge friendship with one another. Viewers can look forward to the witty characters and touching stories in the drama.

Written by Jung Bo-Hoon (writer of Prison Playbook), ‘Racket Boys’ will be an emotional roller coaster with hilarious scenes to heart-wrenching moments.

We would like to thank all directors, actors, actresses and production staff for producing such great masterpieces in these difficult times.
