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.

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.
