If you’ve attended concerts at Arena of Stars, you might know the venue isn’t typically known for its high energy. But not this time. Fans came prepared. Upon entry, each attendee received a yellow light wristband, turning the entire hall into a glowing sea of yellow – the color that represents DAESUNG. It was a beautiful tribute, coordinated by fans who wanted to make his solo debut in Malaysia extra special.

The crowd – made up of VIPs from across the country – came ready to sing, dance, and show their unwavering support. Their energy matched DAESUNG’s from start to finish, with loud chants, enthusiastic cheers, and heartwarming fan projects that made the night unforgettable.

EXO’s Kai captivated fans in Kuala Lumpur with his first solo concert in Malaysia as part of the 2025 KAION tour. The concert, held on May 24 at the Mega Star Arena, marked his first international stop after launching the tour in South Korea.

Kai delivered a dynamic performance, showcasing his signature choreography and stage presence. The setlist featured tracks from his solo discography, including hits like “Mmmh,” “Peaches,” and “Rover,” as well as a selection of EXO classics

Aside from performing his hit solo songs, Kai made the night even more special by revisiting EXO’s early days, performing a touching medley of ‘My Lady,’ ‘Baby Don’t Cry,’ and ‘Angel’ that left fans reminiscing.

Fans sang along word for word, their voices uniting in a powerful chorus that echoed the deep connection they’ve had with Kai since his debut. The emotional weight of seeing him perform those beloved tracks live, especially for long-time supporters, made the night feel like a full-circle moment. 

For many in attendance, it wasn’t just a concert—it was a heartfelt reunion with an artist who’s grown alongside them. His Kuala Lumpur concert was more than just a showcase of talent; it was a heartfelt celebration of music, growth, and the unbreakable bond between artist and fans.

For Malaysian EXO-Ls, it was a night to remember, and for Kai, it was another unforgettable chapter in his solo journey. We hope to see more Kai visiting in KL real soon!

We would like to express our gratitude to CK Entertainment for inviting us!

It may be summer all year round in Malaysia, but for one night, Super Junior’s Yesung brought the feeling of spring to Kuala Lumpur with his heartfelt vocals, soft ballads, and signature warmth, marking the final stop of his solo concert tour, 2025 YESUNG CONCERT [It’s Complicated] in ASIA.

The venue at Zepp KL was filled with fans dressed in pink and white, creating a dreamy springtime vibe that perfectly matched the emotional tone of Yesung’s music. It was a sight to behold—ELFs coming together in unity, as if blooming like cherry blossoms in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

During the night, Yesung surprised the crowd with a special performance of ‘Paper Umbrella’, the beloved title track from his second mini album Spring Falling. “It’s been a long time since I performed this song,” he shared. “I wasn’t in my best condition, but I thought you guys would love to hear it, so I specially prepared it for you.” The crowd responded with a roar of cheers and soft singalongs, soaking in the rare and sentimental moment.

Throughout the night, Yesung delivered a powerful and emotional set of 24 songs, including all tracks from his sixth mini album: “It’s Complicated,” “There She Goes Again,” “Easy,” “Beautiful Paradox,” and “Curtain.” Of course, fan-favourites like “Pink Magic,” “Slide Away,” and the iconic drama OST “It Has to Be You” were also part of the night’s touching setlist.

But one of the most unexpected highlights of the night? Yesung’s playful attempt to turn the ballad-heavy stage into a Waterbomb Festival experience. Using nothing more than a regular water bottle with a straw, he playfully sprayed water toward the standing-zone audience, testing whether such a move could work during a ballad concert.

To his surprise—and the fans’ delight—it did. Laughter erupted throughout the venue as the moment turned light-hearted and full of joy. Who says a ballad singer can’t do this? cause Yesung can!

Kuala Lumpur held a special place in his heart that night, as he acknowledged the unique layout of the venue. "Other stops didn’t have standing zones like this. It feels different and exciting to perform with this kind of energy. I feel a little shy when performing, cause you guys are just right in front of me."

Towards the end, Yesung shared a heartfelt message with fans: “What made this tour special was being able to meet ELF in new places. I exist because of you, the fans. It’s an honor to continue this journey with you, and I sincerely thank you. If I could make a small wish, it’s that you’ll continue to love and support me in the future.”

Before saying goodbye, he gave fans one more reason to hold on with excitement: “Malaysia is a special place for Super Junior. I hope I’ve created good memories with you today. After I return to Korea, we’ll begin recording for Super Junior’s 20th anniversary album.”

With Super Junior’s 20th anniversary this year and Yesung’s solo 20th anniversary next year, the beloved vocalist teased more activities to come, cheekily adding: “Just focus on me and don’t go to other concerts!”

As the night came to a close, fans were left with not just melodies and memories, but a promise of more to come—whether as a soloist or with his Super Junior brothers. Here's hoping Yesung returns to Malaysia very soon.

The legendary ballad group 2AM made a triumphant return to Malaysia with their much-anticipated concert, 2AM is Coming to Town, held at the Mega Star Arena, KL on 16 February 2025. As expected, the night was filled with powerful vocals, heartfelt ballads, and an unexpected showcase of their dancing skills, proving once again why they remain one of the most beloved vocal groups in K-pop history.

The concert opened with an uplifting and festive performance of To. AM and 2AM is Coming to Town, instantly setting the mood for the night. The energy soon transitioned into an emotional ballad medley featuring What Should I Do, You Wouldn’t Answer My Call, Like Crazy, and Like a Fool, transporting the audience down memory lane.

Adding to the nostalgic atmosphere, the group continued with their iconic hits, including Moment from The Heirs OST, followed by I’m Sorry I Can’t Smile for You, One Spring Day, and Flower Road.

One of the most unforgettable highlights of the evening occurred during Flower Road, when the members stepped off the stage to meet fans up close. However, the biggest surprise of the night came when Seulong reappeared in a traditional baju melayu after losing a game. Jokwon playfully revealed that they initially considered dressing Seulong in a baju kurung but hesitated due to size concerns. The moment was met with loud cheers and laughter, with fans applauding Seulong for embracing the cultural outfit so effortlessly.

As the concert progressed, 2AM surprised the audience yet again by temporarily transforming into a dance group. Performing covers of recent hit songs such as NewJeans’ Supernatural, aespa’s Supernova, DAY6’s Happy, and Rosé’s APT, they showcased their versatility beyond ballads, hyping up the crowd with their energetic choreography and stage presence.

Fans were also treated to special stages where the members covered Jokwon and Gain’s legendary We Fell in Love from We Got Married, and a heartfelt rendition of Nagging, originally sung by IU and Seulong. These performances brought waves of nostalgia and made for one of the most memorable moments of the night.

The emotional journey continued with classic 2AM songs like I Wonder If You Hurt Like Me, Never Let You Go, Confession of a Friend, and This Song, each performed with raw emotion that resonated deeply with the audience.

The concert concluded on a high note with I Did Wrong and Always Me, leaving fans both satisfied and emotional. With a full live band accompanying their performance, the night truly felt like an intimate reunion with an old friend. Despite the years that have passed, the ability to sing along effortlessly to every song proved that 2AM’s music remains timeless.

The concert felt like a grand karaoke session, with thousands of fans singing along to every song, reliving cherished memories with 2AM. Their ability to evoke deep emotions through music remains unmatched, making this night another unforgettable chapter in their enduring legacy.
