Jay Park Wows Fans at SEXY 4EVA Concert in Malaysia

Thursday, October 17, 2019

Korean-American rapper and singer-songwriter Jay Park returned to Malaysia to hold his “SEXY 4 EVA” show at KL Live on 29^th September 2019.

It was definitely an unforgettable night for Malaysian fans as they were treated with fiery performances and special guests – including label mate Wonjae and Haon, as well as Malaysian rapper Joe Flizzow.

Before Jay Park made his grand entrance on stage, Wonjae wow-ed the crowd with his hit songs including '119 Remix' and 'Hate You'. After briefly introducing himself, the crowd further cheered him on to perform more songs - he proceeded with his 'Show Me The Money' and his debut single ‘We Are’.

When Wonjae ended his stage, Jay Park finally came on stage and started off the performance with his hit single 'Forget About Tomorrow'. The crowd went wild as the singer busted some dance moves and showcasing his stable vocal abilities. Jay Park continued to perform other songs including 'Iffy', 'Me Like Yuh', 'Joah', and 'All I Wanna Do'.

His AOMG labelmate, Haon soon took over the stage and continued to hype up the crowd with his hit songs, 'NOAH', 'Flower' and 'Boong Boong'.

After Haon finished his set, Jay Park came back on stage with a different outfit and this time, he surprised the fans as Malaysian rapper Joe Flizzow joined him to perform their title track 'Twisted Dreams' together for the first time ever!

The temperature went up even further as Jay Park performed his biggest sexy hit song , 'Mommae', which got the entire crowd dancing and grooving along. After performing his last song 'Sexy 4 Eva', fans were asking for more - Jay Park stepped back on stage with 'Who You' and 'All Day' alongside with Wonjae and Haon.

Jay Park’s show was nothing but full of fiery and powerful performances. We simply can’t get enough and we hope that he will come back again with more shows in Malaysia soon.

Starlight Carnival offers a fantastic array of movies, music, food & games from now til 2 November

The Starlight Carnival is a unique open-air festival in a unique setting that will take place every Thursday, Friday and Saturday through 2 November 2019. Featuring four key elements – movies, music, food and games – the Starlight Carnival brings together all the ingredients for a perfect time and sets it in a picture-perfect setting at the Century Lake Park.

Online ticketing: https://www.rwgenting.com/Starlight-Carnival/

Movies Under The Stars Screening Schedule

The attractions at the Starlight Carnival are as varied as they are entertaining. At the Carnival Cinema, a red carpet of blockbuster movies – including A Star is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody, Jersey Boys, Mamma Mia & The Greatest Showman will play out on a supersized pop-up screen for guests to lay back on beanbags and cushions to enjoy. The open-air ‘Movie Under The Stars’ will lend a new dimension to the atmosphere of the movie, where clouds could blow in during a mysterious scene or the chirping chorus of nocturnal animals elevates key scenes.

Multiple food trucks serving a wide variety of snacks and foods

If hunger strikes, then grab a bite (or several) from one of the many gourmet food trucks and dining options scattered across the Carnival. While the food trucks serve up an unbeatable variety of snacks – from hot dogs to chocolates – Resorts World Genting will also be showcasing some of the latest additions to its F&B suite. Vibe dining restaurant FUHU by Zouk, which is part of the Zouk Genting complex, will be cooking up examples of its unique fusion cuisine, including FUHU spice tacos and FUHU duck essence porridge. Harry Ramsden brings London’s beloved fish and chips to Malaysia, while the taste of Italy – pizzas, pastas and more – arrive in hearty servings at the Il Lago kiosk. Cosmic Café will offer local favourites like nasi ayam and mee bakso, while ice cream and mango-based drinks will be available from the La Cremeria tent and the Sjora truck.

Free outdoor night movie screenings by the lake + music by tribute acts & other live performances

From sunset onwards, the Starlight Carnival will also be a space filled with melodies. A talented line-up of musicians, including Aidan Soloist, VIBES, McBE Duo and Double Aze, will take to the pop-up Gazebo stage to provide the soundtrack and mood for the twilight fiesta. Sip on drinks to the gentle chords of acoustic music, because music is the inspiration, and the Starlight Carnival is the stage.

Colourful funfair games

And what carnival would be complete some fun and challenging carnival games? So step right up, ladies and gentlemen, to test your luck and skills at a variety of game kiosks like shooting some basketballs at Shooting Star, spinning the wheel for luck at Milky Way Spin, a test of lobster pots at Asteroid Toss, cathartic pyramid smash at Topple Galaxies and skilfully hooking ducks at Pick A Star. Hours of fun and a full merry night of challenge await at the Carnival Game Zone, as well as the chance to take home some cool prizes.

As October comes to a close, this is the season to be scary. For its final weekend, the Starlight Carnival will be given a scary season makeover for a special Halloween Weekend. Expect the same fantastic combo of film, food, fiesta and fun as before, but with a new spooky veneer as the Starlight Carnival embraces Halloween with jack o’lanterns, zombies, cobwebs and all the other elements of a truly scary Halloween evening.

Eat, Drink And Be Merry At The Starlight Carnival Oktoberfest Hall

Up to 19 types of premium beers are served at Oktoberfest Hall

While the main Starlight Carnival promises a family-friendly atmosphere, guests who want to party a little bit harder also have a place to go. Because it is October and October is the time for Oktoberfest, the annual German funfair celebrates all things beer originating in Munich. Resorts World Genting will be presenting up its own version of a Bavarian festival at the Oktoberfest Hall, held at a separate area of the Carnival with its own set of food, drink and entertainment offerings.

Oktoberfest Hall at Starlight Carnival Details:

Date: 1 October - 2 November (every Thursday, Friday & Saturday)

Online ticketing: https://www.rwgenting.com/enews/casino/Starlight-Oktoberfest/

*It is open to non-Muslims aged 21 years old and above only.

*Entry is by Starlight Carnival tickets but food and beverage coupons are sold separately.

Special event by Zouk Live

Date: 2 November (Saturday)

Time: 3PM - 1AM

The main feature will, of course, be beer. Up to 19 types of premium beers – from Carlsberg Special Brew to Brooklyn OPA, from Franzikaner Hefe to Connor’s Stout Porter – will be served up in chilled glasses.

Beer is always best paired with food, so the Oktoberfest Hall will also come with its own food kiosks. Serving the best pairings to a cold mug of beer, hungry Oktoberfest celebrants can arrive at the kiosks to choose from truffle sausages, kimchi hot dogs, cheese beef burgers and spicy lamb burgers from Banger Hanger & Burgers, chicken wings topped with a variety of mouth-watering sauces at Extreme Wings and a fully-laden plate of cheesy nachos at Loaded Nachos.

Live up the night with a variety of music genres

The Oktoberfest Hall will also come with its own set of musical entertainment. Spanning genres from classic rock to modern dance, a variety of bands will take to the Oktoberfest Hall stage to rock the crowd and get everyone into the groove. Confirmed performers include Part III, Society of Souls, an Oompah Band and tribute bands to the Gypsy King, The Beatles and Queen. And for one evening only, Zouk Genting takes over the Oktoberfest Hall stage on 2 November 2019 in a celebration of dance music as Starlight Carnival presents the first-ever Resorts World Genting Zouk Live!

Imagine an inky black sky studded with pinpricks of stars, twinkling like diamonds against a satin background. The strains of tuneful melodies drift in the breeze as the smell of luscious food wafts through the air. On the left, exclamations of delight at the fun fair where someone has won a prize; on the right, the iconic fanfare that heralds the start of a blockbuster movie. If this sounds like a fantastic night out, then Resorts World Genting’s first-ever Starlight Carnival is exactly where you should be right now.
