Fans began queuing as early as morning to secure the best spots, creating an electrifying atmosphere long before the performances began.The festival kicked off with Malaysian singers Uriah See and Firdhaus, who warmed up the crowd with a selection of their popular hits. Uriah also surprised fans with a special guest appearance by Elyn Leong, drawing loud cheers from the audience as they delivered an engaging opening set. 

Eight months, countless cities, and thousands of memories later, TREASURE finally brought their 2025-26 TREASURE TOUR [PULSE ON] to its final destination in Kuala Lumpur on May 30, turning Unifi Arena Bukit Jalil into a night of celebration, and anticipation for what's next.

From the moment the group burst onto the stage with "MMM," "KING KONG," "BONA BONA," and "BOY," it was clear that this would not be an ordinary tour stop. The arena shook with fan chants as TEUME welcomed the group back to the shores, matching every beat and every lyric with unwavering energy.

While the concert delivered the explosive performances fans have come to expect from TREASURE, it was the emotion surrounding the final stop of the PULSE ON tour that gave the night its special significance.

Reflecting on the journey, JIHOON shared that it had already been eight months since the tour began, a period filled with unforgettable experiences and memories alongside fans around the world. While acknowledging the bittersweet reality that Kuala Lumpur marked the final chapter of the tour, he quickly reassured fans that there was plenty to look forward to, revealing that TREASURE's upcoming 4th mini album, NEW WAV, would be arriving soon.

The mention of the new release immediately sent excitement through the arena, and the anticipation only grew when DOYOUNG and JUNGHWAN surprised fans with a brief rap snippet from one of the unreleased tracks. The spontaneous preview offered a glimpse into TREASURE's next era, drawing thunderous cheers from the crowd eager to hear more.

The excitement surrounding NEW WAV extended beyond the stage. In one of the evening's most memorable fan-driven moments, Malaysian TEUME transformed the venue into a giant "new wave" by creating a coordinated lightstick wave across the arena. As waves of glowing Teu-Lights rolled from one section to another, the visual perfectly embodied the spirit of the upcoming album while creating a breathtaking moment of unity between artist and fans.

Adding to the warmth of the evening was TREASURE's continued effort to connect with local fans through the Malay language. Throughout the show, members enthusiastically sprinkled their conversations with phrases such as "Mantap," "Bolehlah," "Semua Jerit," "Lama Tak Jumpa," and "Rindu Kami Tak?" Each phrase was met with deafening cheers, turning simple interactions into memorable moments and showcasing the group's affection for their Malaysian fans. The local touches gave the concert an intimacy rarely felt in an arena setting, making the night feel less like a stop on a world tour and more like a reunion among friends.

As the concert approached its conclusion, emotions began to surface both on stage and in the audience. To commemorate the final stop of the PULSE ON tour, a celebratory cake was brought out, transforming the stage into an impromptu party. The moment carried a bittersweet feeling as everyone reflected on a journey that had finally reached its end after eight memorable months.

The cake also brought back memories of TREASURE's previous visit to Malaysia. JIHOON fondly recalled how Malaysian fans had celebrated his birthday during the group's last stop in Kuala Lumpur, a memory he said remained close to his heart. Although this year's celebration was not for a birthday, he shared that he was equally grateful for the cheers and love received throughout the tour, while asking fans to wait for TREASURE's return with NEW WAV.

Even with emotions running high, TREASURE made sure to end the night the only way they knew how: with maximum energy. Returning to the stage for an extended encore, the group delivered fan-favorite performances of "KING KONG," "PARADISE," and "I WANT YOUR LOVE," giving fans one final chance to sing, dance, and celebrate together before the night ends.

Before saying goodbye, YOSHI reflected on the memories created throughout the tour and promised fans that the members would stay healthy until they met again. He ended his message with a heartfelt "Terima Kasih Semua" while forming a giant heart above his head, a simple gesture that perfectly captured the gratitude shared between TREASURE and their fans.

As confetti filled the arena and the final lights faded, Kuala Lumpur became more than just the last stop of the PULSE ON tour. It became a celebration of everything the journey represented: music, growth, and the bond between TREASURE and Teume around the world. 

While the tour may have come to an end, fans will not have to wait long for the group's next chapter. With NEW WAV set to arrive soon, TREASURE has already given TEUME plenty to anticipate, and if the excitement inside the stadium was any indication, their upcoming comeback is poised to usher in an exciting new era for the group.

Special thanks to Live Nation Malaysia for the invitation.

It wasn’t just another tour stop—it was a night that felt deeply personal, intimate, and uniquely for Malaysian. MOODZ. At the Kuala Lumpur leg of his 2026 WOODZ World Tour ‘Archive. 1’, WOODZ didn’t just perform—he connected, listened, and most importantly, made fans feel seen.

Taking the stage right on the dot at 8PM, WOODZ opened the night with a powerful trio—“Bloodline,” “Downtown,” and “Dirt On My Leather”—instantly setting the tone with his signature intensity and charisma. The energy in the hall surged as fans welcomed him back, marking his long-awaited return after three years.

Greeting the crowd with a warm smile, WOODZ shared, “It’s been 3 years since I last performed here, and I’m really happy to be back.” But what followed wasn’t just a standard setlist—it was a carefully crafted experience, filled with thoughtful moments that made Kuala Lumpur feel like the most special stop on the tour.

From fan-favourite tracks like “Drowning,” “I’ll Never Love Again,” “Cinema,” to “To My January,” WOODZ delivered each song with emotional depth and vocal precision. Yet, what truly set the night apart was his genuine effort to bridge cultures—effortlessly interacting with fans in Bahasa Malaysia. “Korang enjoy tak?” he asked, met with roaring cheers. “Terima kasih for singing with me… Sayang~ Gempak! Syiok! Hari ini memang best! Mantap! Korang sangat cantik!” His playful use of local phrases didn’t just entertain—it warmed hearts, drawing fans even closer to him. 

One of the biggest surprises of the night came when WOODZ treated fans to a special cover of “Sempurna” by Malaysian band Insomniacks. What made the moment even more memorable was his impressively clear pronunciation, delivering the song with sincerity and care. He shared that he had prepared the performance just two weeks prior, expressing how happy he was to be able to perform such a beautiful song in Kuala Lumpur. The unexpected cover instantly struck a chord with the audience—“Sempurna” being a fan-favourite among locals—and his effort alone earned him a perfect score in the hearts of many. 

The highlight of the night came when WOODZ transformed the concert hall into something unexpected—a massive karaoke session. Stripping things down to just his guitar, his voice, and thousands of fans, the atmosphere shifted into something beautifully raw and emotional. Together, they sang “Cinema,” “Drowning,” “Sempurna,” “To My January,” and “Human Extinction,” creating a harmony that blurred the line between artist and audience. And just when it seemed like enough, fans shouted “한번 더!”—“one more time.” WOODZ listened. Not once, not twice—but multiple times, he granted their wishes, repeating “Cinema” and “Drowning” up to three times, laughing along as he did. “You guys love singing?” he teased. “You sing better than me… mantap!” The joy was contagious. It wasn’t just a performance—it was a shared experience, one that felt spontaneous, unscripted, and deeply sincere. 

During one of his heartfelt ments, WOODZ reflected on his last visit. “Three years ago, I was a little sick… but I promised to come back healthy. And now, I’m good. Thank you, everyone.” The room softened in that moment, as fans responded with warmth and quiet support, turning the concert into something more than just music—it became a story of growth, healing, and return. 

As the night neared its end, WOODZ reignited the energy with explosive performances of “I Hate You,” “Bump Bump,” and “Stray,” reminding everyone why he’s celebrated as an all-rounder artist. 

A true singer-songwriter, WOODZ continues to prove his versatility—effortlessly blending pop-rock, R&B, hip-hop, and rock ballads, while writing, composing, and producing his own music. His artistry isn’t confined to a single genre, and neither is the way he connects with his fans. Every note, every lyric carries a piece of his story—and Kuala Lumpur got to feel that up close. 

More than just a concert, ‘Archive. 1’ in Kuala Lumpur was a night of shared voices, laughter, and genuine connection. And if there’s one thing fans are hoping for—it’s that the next reunion won’t take another three years.

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. “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.
