The wait is over, Malaysian fans! Jay B, the charismatic leader of GOT7, is all set to perform his first solo concert in Kuala Lumpur as part of his highly anticipated "TAPE: RE LOAD" tour. After a successful comeback concert with GOT7 at ‘Nestfest’ in South Korea, Jay B will bring his unique blend of music, passion, and stage presence to the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur. Organized by LINE UP ENT and executed locally by STORMEX ENTERTAINMENT, this exciting concert promises to be an unforgettable night for fans. 

Paris Fashion Week is always a spectacle, but this year, all eyes were on one man: Jackson Wang. The multi-talented artist and Louis Vuitton brand ambassador was a vision of style and charisma as he attended the Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring-Summer 2025 Show. This marked his fourth appearance on the iconic Parisian runway, a testament to his growing influence in the fashion world.

Dressed head-to-toe in a full Louis Vuitton SS25 runway look, Jackson Wang was the epitome of modern elegance. His ensemble, a flawless fusion of contemporary design and timeless sophistication, captured the extraordinary allure that both he and the Louis Vuitton brand represent.  

Jackson’s frequent appearances at Paris Fashion Week not only highlight his deep-rooted friendship with the Louis Vuitton brand but also underscore his personal international influence.  It further solidifies his exceptional status in the fashion industry.

Beyond the runway, Jackson Wang is making waves in other creative ventures. He recently launched a high-profile auction project in collaboration with Pharrell Williams’ digital auction platform, Joopiter. It is reported that all proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity. We look forward to his continued creation of more exciting projects behind the scenes in the future.

The first set continued with change up, exhausted and at my low from his 'the other side' album. He continued the show with far away, last breath, this song carried sentiments for fellow Ahgase as it was Mark's first solo song after returning to his home in LA. Malaysia fans were satisfied and happy that we got to listen to this live and let you go. Before singing the next song, Mark greeted and interacted with the fans. Mark shared that it has been 10 years since he debuted with GOT7. The past 10 years has precious part of him and he is thankful for the continous support fans has been giving. He promised there will be more of GOT7 in the near future. They are working very hard as solo for now but will return as a group when the time align and hopefully have a concert tour. Of course, Malaysia will be part of it (hopefully). p/s: We're marking your words Mark! We want the whole GOT7 here to perform and enjoy the Malaysia fans warmth.

Mark quipped that the next song will be his saddest and most emo song for the night by singing my life. Through this song, fans got to see another side of Mark. Listening to his vocals accompanied by the soft piano telling his own story. The songs travels through his journey in self discovery through hardship, wanting things to be different and navigating to find his true self.

And now, we got the upbeat and hype side of Mark back dancing and singing songs from his latest EP, Fallin' that matches his skill and personality so well! The songs are groovy, cheerful yet with a hint of shyness really does make up to his vocal and dance style. What's makes this EP more meaningful for him and us Ahgase is that Mark was involved in the entire creative process and we could feel the pride he has on the EP through his songs. The retro style choreography and matching his outfit for the night, couldn't help but have us heads over heels with him over and over again with him. Performing Fallin' and Your World got our eyes all glued to him.

Can’t help Fallin in love with #MarkTuan charisma on stage 🥰 He’s amazing!!! #MarkTuan_TheOtherSide_KL #MarkTuaninKL #MarkTuaninMY pic.twitter.com/B3QJBAC45e

Mark stage presence is something notable, the fans managed to bring out the extrovert side of him inspite of his introvert personality who is usually quiet and shy. Mark kept the crowd moving by interacting with fans from all direction. The set continue with Mark performing broken, selfish, hard 2 love, more before inviting his friend, Wesley on stage collaborating 2 faces. Turning up the atmostphere a little more with uptempto of lonely. How we wished time will slow down a little when Mark mentioned he has 3 more songs left for the night. Well, we will make every moment count! And this is when Everyone Else Fades is being sung and it does feel like only Mark Tuan existed and shining brightly on stage and performing for fans he loves. Nights Still Young got crowd on their feet and having a great time - might be a silent reminder for us and Mark that the night still can go on as it's young :p. The set ended Carry Me Out (well, can we carry Mark home?) The second Mark left the stage, the atmosphere was filled with encore! Wanting more from Mark. Mark came back for his encore stage with Never Gonna Come Down, One In A Million, my name, This Is Everything and a remix version of imysm.

Last song for the night 🥺 all ahgase are screaming ‘imysm’ #MarkTuan already. Please come back soon as promise!! 🫶🏻#MarkTuan_TheOtherSide_KL #MarkTuaninKL #MarkTuaninMY pic.twitter.com/o4eIA55Dmw

It was a cute moment when the music suddenly stopped for photo time! She requested the lights to be switch on for better photo lighting in Mandarin. Her cue for audience was 'SoShi (소시)' and Hyoyeon. Just before leaving the stage ending the night Hyoyeon thanked the fans in English and Mandarin and mentioned in Mandarin 以后见面吧，今天热死了 (yi hou jian mian ba, jin tian re si le) (Translation: See you night time, it's been a really hot day today) It was indeed an incredible night with amazing artiste line up!
