HallyuPopFest Treats Fans to an Exhilarating Weekend

Thursday, May 30, 2019

HallyuPopFest kicks off its second round this year after it made its way in September last year. With an equally exciting line-up of artistes, the 2-day festival delights fans once again over a fun-filled weekend on 25 - 26 May 2019 at Singapore Indoor Stadium. From showcases to a grand red carpet and finally the concert itself, K-pop frenzies were taken on a wild ride as they indulged in the mega festival.

N.Flying

N.Flying, a rap-rock band under FNC Entertainment, started the party on Saturday night by belting out tracks such as 'How R U Today', 'Leave It', 'Rooftop', 'Spring Memories' and 'Flowerwork'. Fans were so thrilled that member Cha Hun even commented, "I am wearing earpieces, but I can hear you guys screaming in my ears."

GWSN

After ending their segment with 'The Real', a surprise appearance was made by GWSN. The 7-member girl group performed 'Pinky Star' and 'Yolowa', and blew away the audience with their impressive English during their introductions.

Oh My Girl

Much to the enthusiasm of male fans, Oh My Girl took over the stage in their lovely red dresses. The WM Entertainment girl group performed hits like 'The Fifth Season', 'Liar Liar', 'Secret Garden', 'Real World' and 'Remember Me', even including a slower number 'Love Speed'.

NU'EST

The fourth performer was NU'EST, who graced Singapore as full-member five after six years. Regaining success after participating in survival program Produce 101, their appearance also marks Minhyun's return after Wanna One's separation.

Bringing fans down a nostalgic path with 'Hello', 'Love Paint' and 'Look (A Starlight Night)' to newer tracks like 'Bet Bet' and 'Segno', the Pledis Entertainment boy group proved that the wait for Singapore L.O.ㅅ.Es was worthwhile. The fans even sang a birthday song for Aron - he also hinted about meeting fans again soon on the very same stage!

Hyolyn

It was time for some female power as Hyolyn continued the night with Paradise. Her two back-up dancers, whom she affectionately terms as her friends, came all the way from the U.S to Singapore for the first time to perform with her. Performing songs like 'See Sea', 'Goodbye' and 'Dally', Hyolyn even included a short but engaging SISTAR medley - 'Ma Boy' and 'Shake It'.

WINNER

As Day 1 came to a close, the highly-anticipated WINNER made their way to the stage with deafening screams from INNERCIRCLE. The four boys from YG Entertainment immersed the fervent audience in an array of hits like 'Love Me Love Me', 'Empty', 'Everyday', 'Millions', not forgetting their latest release 'Ah Yeah' and finally ending off with their much-loved sensation 'Really Really'.

HYOLYN Brings the Cali Vibes to Puma Cali Party: Exclusive Interview

Tuesday, April 30, 2019

Hyolyn hit the stage at the by-invitation-only PUMA CALI party held at Sentul Depot last Saturday, which also marked her first solo appearance in Malaysia. Organised by PUMA Southeast Asia, the event was held in conjunction with the PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign featuring the iconic PUMA Cali sneakers and Hyolyn, the campaign ambassador.

Hyolyn's energetic performance kept the crowd on their feet the whole time

In line with the adventurous and fun “Cali vibes”, the venue was transformed into a boho-chic party ground with an array of free-to-play activities such as mini bungee for party-goers to participate with their friends, festival foods including burgers, popcorns, cotton candy from food trucks and stalls, all these set in a colorful Instagrammable space perfect for photo mementos.

In addition to fans and winners in Malaysia, the 500-strong turnout at the by-invitation-only event included regional media from Singapore and Indonesia, PUMA friends and brand ambassadors such as actress Dawn Yeoh and radio DJ Sonia Chew from Singapore. Malaysian celebrities such as DJ Cza, Charis Ow, Alexis Sue Ann, Koe Yeet and Hanan Helme were also in attendance.

The finale of the evening was the much-anticipated “live” performance by Hyolyn. Illuminating the stage with her impeccable choreography and powerful vocals, Hyolyn wowed the audience with her hit singles - 'SEE SEA', 'BAE' and 'Dally'. Hyolyn’s signature dance move, the 'Dally' dance, got the audience to groove along with her.

Hyolyn spoke briefly between songs and shared her excitement to be in Malaysia for the PUMA CALI party with the host of the evening - popular Malaysian content creator, Jenn Chia. “Kuala Lumpur is one of the stops included in my World Tour and I am really excited to perform here again. It will be my chance to entertain the Malaysian audience and interact with my fans whom I dearly miss,” added Hyolyn.

To top of her solo tracks, Hyolyn sang 'My Love From the Star' OST, 'Hello, Goodbye' and surprised the packed audience with a mash-up of SISTAR's hit track, 'Shake It' and sub-unit SISTAR19's 'Ma Boy' (ps: those nostalgic feelings when the songs were played).

3 lucky fans were up on stage to dance 'See Sea'

In addition to Hyolyn’s “live” performances, three exhilarated lucky fans were invited to do a dance-off with Hyolyn on stage, making this one of the thrilling highlights of the PUMA CALI party. Closer to the end, Hyolyn did a cover of 'Bang Bang' and she literally nailed every note.

An exclusive group interview with Hyolyn

Thanks to Puma Malaysia, we have the opportunity to sit down with Hyolyn and talk about her return to Malaysia, fashion style and her upcoming solo world tour.

Hyolyn is the face of the regional PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign in Southeast Asia that rolled out since January 2019.

In addition to the by-invitation PUMA CALI party, fans of PUMA CALI stand a chance to win a ‘Cali Dream Trip’ (worth USD4000) and enjoy a unique holiday experience in California.

PUMA #CaliTravelog featuring Hyolyn: Stand A Chance to Win A Trip to California

Tuesday, January 08, 2019

PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign starts from Jan 2019

PUMA Southeast Asia rolls out its anchor campaign of the year - the PUMA #CaliTravelog - featuring PUMA Cali sneakers and K-Pop star Hyolyn in the campaign. Set to be one of the biggest regional campaigns that spreads across in-store, out-of-home as well as online platforms in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, the PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign will be held over 6 months from January 2019.

Inspired by the west coast sunny vibes in California, the main theme of the #CaliTravelog campaign epitomizes the spirit of a PUMA Cali girl - one that seeks out adventure, fun, personable yet confident. Once a court staple, the popular OG California sneaker is now launched in revamped versions of a versatile chunky rubber sole and subtle metallic details with an understated neutral colourway, making this into a dreamy street style mainstay.

Hyolyn for PUMA #CaliTravelog

As a sports lifestyle brand that always recognises the strength, grace, and confidence of women, Hyolyn is the perfect representation of these qualities in the PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign.

Formerly from popular K-Pop group SISTAR, Hyolyn decided to pursue music solo, and has since amassed international success with hits such as SEE SEA, BAE and Dally. Besides her musical prowess, Hyolyn is also a source of inspiration to youth around the world as an unconventional K-pop star.

A fighter since birth, Hyolyn was born prematurely and in her younger years suffered from biliary astresia – a rare life-threatening disease of the liver and bile ducts that occurs in infants. Over the years, Hyolyn underwent two rounds of surgery to combat her illness, leaving her with visible scars on her abdomen. Refusing to give into her insecurities, she turned her scars into strength, getting a tattoo of a cross to cover up the marks. Not to be a reminder of her illness, the tattoo is instead a reminder of confidence, willpower and fighting spirit. Today, Hyolyn’s remarkable display of boldness, determination and fearlessness makes her the perfect ambassador of the PUMA #CaliTravelog campaign.

The K-pop star will be making an appearance in Southeast Asia at a “Secret Party with Hyolyn” in April 2019, where fans will be able to meet, greet and party with the star. Details of this closed-door event will be announced in the following weeks.
