Whether you were there or not, be sure to check out what happened last Saturday.

Impressive Dance Moves & Versatile Vocal

Ong Seong Wu kick-started the fan meeting with a dance cover of Bruno Mars's 'Treasure'. Performing alone did not dim Ong Seong Wu's spotlight as he showcased his impressive dance moves. Riding on the dance track, Seong Wu treated the fans with ballads such as Lee Sora's 'Please' and Kim Jin-ho's 'Love This Moment'. The moment when Seong Wu sang 제발 (Please) 제발 (Please) 제발 (Please) towards the end of the few notes, the emotional resonate with us so deeply that it triggered goosebumps.

Get to Know More About Ong Seong Wu: OngTalk

OngTalk, a segment where he answered random questions sent by the fans via his 'OngTalk' group chat When being asked about the pros and cons performing solo, he answered the pros is being able to show more about himself as Ong Seong Wu but the cons is loneliness - "I feel bored sometimes when I'm alone.", said Ong. (ps: we know he definitely misses his former members when performing solo.)

Seong Wu lighten up the atmosphere with his witty answer when being asked about the secret of his good looks - "Thanks to my parents, thanks to my stylists and cameramen who took a good photo of me". (ps: Seong Wu never failed to mesmerise the crowd with his funny personality ><) When being questioned whether to return to Sabah once again he then replied "I'll pack a bag full of food and return" - which brought the crowd to laughter. (ps: he visited Sabah previously for Law of the Jungle shooting)

OngStagram & OngPlay

During Ongstagram segment, Seong Wu shared the stories of the most memorable shots taken by himself during Golden Disk Awards, family trips to Danang and Kyoto and more. By looking at the photos we know why Seong Wu revealed during the press conference that he enjoyed taking photos of people with beautiful scenery as the background.

He also revealed that he's more confident with his right side when comes to the perfect selfie angle and not to forget his favourite, V-pose. He even did a quick tutorial by asking the fans to pose for a groupfie.

What surprised us was Seong Wu's dance to a medley of Wanna One hits - 'Energetic', 'Beautiful', 'Burn It Up' and 'Day by Day' during the 'OngPlay' segment. When the opening riff of 'Energetic' began playing at the background, the fans went wild chanting and singing along with the lyrics, showing how much they missed the members' LIVE performances. (ps: Seong Wu even did Wanna One's official greetings - All I Wanna Do, Wanna One before the music played TT')

Games Session: The Claw Game, What's In the Coffee & Sing A Malaysian Song

Seong Wu is all confident for the claw game

The first game of the night was the 'Claw Game' which Seong Wu is all confident to grab 5 toys out of the claw machine before starting the game. But, in the end, he only managed to grab 2 and eventually asked for another chance. > < 2 lucky fans were picked and walked home with the toy with Seong Wu's kisses and autograph.

Malaysian fans were definitely feeling special when the last game session required Seong Wu to sing 'Rasa Sayang'.

Ong is so good in singing "Rasa sayang" 😊😊

ps: I think Ong can make a debut in Malaysia 😁😁😉 #OngSeongWuinMY #OSWETERNITYinMY pic.twitter.com/vA0fUKds45

To commemorate Seong Wu first time performing solo in Malaysia, fans made a video and also gifted a basket of flowers to thank him and express their love. The video was peppered with funny moments from his appearances on the reality shows to tearjerkers from the time on Produce 101.

The fan meeting concluded with a precious hi-touch session for all the attendees and a group photo session for the lucky winners. We surely believe that being able to get a high-touch from Ong Seong Wu is definitely a dream comes true to all the fans who attended the fan meeting.

Lovelyz fills Singapore with love at Lovelyz 3 of Winter World

Sunday, March 24, 2019

Lovelyz, Woolim Entertainment's first girl group, visited Singapore to hold their concert - Lovelyz 3 of Winter World! Debuting in November 2014, the group is made up of eight members - Baby Soul, Jiae, Jisoo, Mijoo, Kei, Jin, Sujung and Yein. The girls expressed that they were excited to be on our sunny shores for the first time!

Decked in all-white outfits reminiscent of angels, the members started off with their opening number 'Lost N Found'. They then proceeded to their first ment, asking Lovelinus to sing along if they know the songs! The eight charming girls continued sweeping fans off their feet with cheerful dance tracks 'Bebe' and 'Joyland', before slowing things down with ballads 'Rewind' and 'First Snow'.

It was time for the girls to head backstage and prepare for their next segment. While they did, Lovelinus were entertained with an ASMR VCR of half the members - Soojung, Kei, Baby Soul and Yein preparing food in silence. The hilarious VCR had the fans filling the hall with laughter; it was clear how much they adore the girls!

Much to everyone's anticipation, the members appeared onstage again with brighter outfits. They continued hyping up the mood with lively tracks 'Cameo' and 'Wowz!', performing their perfectly executed choreographies. After the performances, the group was asked to rate their comeback - Jiae gave a full 5 out of 5 stars, while Kei felt that there could be room for improvement and gave a 3 out of 5. 'Like U' and 'Emotion' were the next two songs performed!

Lovelyz also showed potential variety sides of themselves by 'warning' fans to forget their silly get-ups in the ASMR video; and with Mijoo praising their own English skills "our English very very good"! We look forward to seeing the group on more variety shows! Not forgetting to interact with Lovelinus, they invited them to stand up for the next track 'Dear U', where lucky fans even caught the presents they threw! '1cm' also saw party streamers being strewn on the audience, lifting the mood more than ever.

Jiae, Jisoo, Mijoo and Jin were the remaining members to appear in the second half of their ASMR video, sending everyone into laughter once again! All members came out again with a fresh set of outfits; performing upbeat songs from 'Destiny' and 'Daydream' to soothing ballads 'Shooting Star' and 'Fallin''.

"We're towards the end of the concert. Unbelievable!" Mijoo exclaimed adorably. After performing their last four tracks 'Ah Choo', 'Hi', 'That Day' and finally 'Now, We', Lovelinus could be heard shouting for more as they chanted 'encore' enthusiastically. Hearing their fans' wishes, the girls appeared once again and performed their encore track 'Twinkle'.

The pretty members spoke their ending ment one by one; where a cake was even brought out for birthday girl Kei! To top off their surprise, a VCR made by fans was played on screen; where it touched the girls to tears. Lovelyz concluded the concert with 'Good Night Like Yesterday' - filled precious moments of the girls trying to finish the song in tears. All in all, Lovelinus had the time of their lives with the group, and we're sure they're already waiting for the next chance to meet the girls again!

We would like to thank IME Entertainment for the invitation.
