2026 PARK JIHOON ASIA FAN CON [RE:FLECT] IN KUALA LUMPUR

Park Jihoon Finally Reunites with Malaysian MAY at his Solo Fancon 'RE:FLECT' in KL

Wednesday, June 10, 2026

The double digital celebration of 6.6 felt extra special this year as Malaysian fans were finally reunited with PARK JI HOON after eight long years. Held at the KLCC Plenary Hall on 6 June, the 2026 PARK JI HOON ASIA FAN CON 'RE:FLECT' IN KUALA LUMPUR marked Jihoon's long-awaited return to Malaysia — and this time, it was all about him as a solo artist.

The evening kicked off with a powerful opening sequence as Jihoon took the stage with "Blank Effect", followed by "Serious" and "GOTCHA", instantly igniting excitement throughout the venue. Dressed in style and overflowing with charisma, Jihoon greeted fans warmly in Bahasa Malaysia, saying, "Saya sangat gembira dapat jumpa semua hari ini" ("I'm very happy to see everyone here today"), drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

The fan-con then shifted into an interactive segment where Jihoon transformed into "Prince Jihoon" while his beloved fandom, MAY, became princesses awaiting rescue. The prince had to complete various missions to save his fans, leading to plenty of memorable and heartwarming moments.

One of the highlights came during the aegyo mission, where Jihoon recreated his iconic catchphrase, "내 마음속에 저장" ("Save in my heart"). Years may have passed, but the legendary phrase still had the same effect, sending fans into a frenzy as they happily "saved" Jihoon's heart in their own hearts once again.

In fact, Jihoon's endless stream of adorable expressions and natural charm became a running theme throughout the entire fan-con. Whether it was his playful reactions, sweet interactions, or spontaneous fan service, he continuously melted hearts across the hall. Adding to the excitement, lucky fans also walked away with exclusive polaroids personally prepared by Jihoon.

Following the fan interaction segment, the venue transformed into Jihoon's very own music party. Showcasing his growth as a solo artist, Jihoon delivered a series of energetic and captivating performances, starting with his latest tracks "Body Else", "Watercolour", "Nitro", and "Matador". The energy only intensified as he continued with "360", "Dawn Moon", and "I Can't Hold Your Hand Anymore", keeping fans on their feet and singing along throughout the night.

The passionate response from Malaysian MAY clearly touched Jihoon. Moved by the deafening cheers and warm welcome, he shared, "The process of coming from Korea to Malaysia just makes me feel so happy. Thank you everyone for the warm welcome."

As the fan-con approached its finale, Jihoon performed "I Wonder" and "MayDay", creating an emotional atmosphere inside the hall. However, he wasn't quite ready to say goodbye. As a special gift to his fans, Jihoon performed "MayDay" once more, dedicating the meaningful song to MAY and turning the moment into one of the night's most unforgettable memories.

Yet the experience didn't end when the lights went down. Fans were treated to a Hi-Bye session, allowing each attendee a brief but precious interaction with Jihoon. Watching him sincerely greet every fan with warmth and gratitude showcased the genuine affection he has for the people who have supported him throughout his journey.

Over the past few years, Jihoon has earned widespread recognition as an actor through his successful dramas and films, impressing audiences with his acting abilities. For a brief moment, many may have forgotten that Jihoon first captured hearts as a singer. But throughout 'RE:FLECT', he reminded everyone exactly why he is one of the industry's most versatile performers — seamlessly combining strong vocals, powerful dance performances, captivating stage presence, and remarkable acting talent.

As Malaysian MAY bid farewell to Jihoon after a night filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt memories, one thing became certain: the wait was worth every second. With his military enlistment on the horizon, fans can only hope that this won't be another eight-year wait before they welcome PARK JI HOON back to Malaysia once again.

CxM, TWS, CRAVITY, 82MAJOR, STAYC, Butterbear and more Concludes DAY 2 of 2026 AsiaTop Music Festival with High Note

Friday, June 05, 2026

The second day of the 2026 Asia Top Music Festival, presented by Hong Leong Bank, officially lit up the Sepang International Circuit in Selangor, Malaysia with another spectacular showcase of music, energy and unforgettable fan moments. Co-organized by JOOX and QQ Music under Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME), the festival returned with a dazzling Day 2 lineup featuring CxM (SEVENTEEN's S.Coups and Mingyu), TWS, 82MAJOR, CRAVITY, STAYC, Butterbear, Uriah See and Firdhaus.

Over the course of two days, the festival attracted nearly 50,000 music lovers, cementing its position as one of the largest and most influential music festivals in Malaysia and Asia in 2026. 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.

Next up was Thailand's beloved sensation Butterbear, who instantly won over the crowd with her adorable charm. Fans erupted with excitement as Butterbear surprised everyone with special covers of BTS's "Butter" and the viral KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack track "Golden." Her cute dance moves and energetic stage presence had the audience cheering throughout the performance.

The K-pop festivities officially began with rising boy group 82MAJOR. Returning to Malaysia once again, the members expressed their happiness at seeing Malaysian fans and delivered a powerful set featuring songs from their latest mini album, including "SIGN," "W.T.F," and "YESSIR!" They also performed fan-favourite tracks such as "Passport," "Need That Bass," "TROPHY," "Takeover," and more, showcasing their explosive stage charisma and growing popularity.

Keeping the momentum going, STAYC took over the stage with their signature bright energy and captivating performances. The group delighted fans with hit songs including "ASAP," "Poppy," "Stereotype," and "Teddy Bear," while charming the audience with their visuals and stable live vocals. Adding to the excitement, the members teased that they would be making a comeback in June with a brand-new song, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their return.

CRAVITY then raised the energy level even higher with performances of "AWAKE," "Now or Never," "A to Z," "Lemonade," "Fever," and many more. Throughout their set, the members constantly interacted with the audience and showed off their Bahasa Malaysia skills. Hyeongjun repeatedly encouraged fans to scream "Kuat Lagi!" while Allen shared that he hoped to try local favourites ketupat and rendang. Their efforts to connect with local culture earned loud cheers from Malaysian fans.

One of the most anticipated acts of the evening was TWS, marking the group's first-ever visit to Malaysia. The rookie group received an incredibly warm welcome from fans who had eagerly awaited their arrival. Making the day even more meaningful, 31 May also happened to be member Youngjae's birthday. The members and fans came together for a heartwarming birthday celebration on stage, complete with a birthday song and cake celebration.

Although member Hanjin was unable to attend due to injury, he prepared a special video message for fans who came to support the group. His thoughtful gesture touched many fans, who expressed their wishes for his speedy recovery. TWS also delivered a memorable set featuring beloved tracks such as "plot twist," "If I'm S, Can You Be My N?," "Oh Mymy : 7s," "Fire Confetti," "Overdrive," "hey! hey!," and more. Despite the lengthy setlist, fans were still left wanting more, proving just how much excitement surrounds the group. Many are already hoping TWS will return soon for their own concert in Malaysia.

Closing the night was the long-awaited duo CxM, consisting of SEVENTEEN members S.Coups and Mingyu. Bringing a taste of their concert experience to Malaysia, the duo delivered an impressive 12-song set featuring tracks such as "Fiesta," "Worth It," "Water," "5, 4, 3 (Pretty Woman)," "Young Again," "For You," and "Earth." The duo also thrilled fans with their individual stages. Mingyu captivated the crowd with his visuals and charisma during "Shake It Off," while S.Coups showcased his powerful performance skills with "Jungle."

The excitement reached its peak when they performed SEVENTEEN's beloved anthem "Very Nice," prompting thousands of fans to sing along. For Mingyu, the performance marked his return to Malaysia after visiting last year for a Snickers event.

Meanwhile, it had been seven years since S.Coups last visited Malaysia for a The Saem event. During their ment segments, S.Coups expressed how much he had missed Malaysian CARATs and acknowledged how long fans had been waiting to see SEVENTEEN members perform in the country again. With many SEVENTEEN members expected to begin their military service this year, S.Coups and Mingyu reassured fans that they would return in 2028, drawing emotional reactions from the crowd. Their promise has left fans eagerly looking forward to either a future CxM concert or, hopefully, a full SEVENTEEN world tour stop in Malaysia.

As the final performances came to an end, Day 2 of the 2026 Asia Top Music Festival concluded on a high note. With two successful days of world-class performances and nearly 50,000 attendees, the festival has once again demonstrated Malaysia's growing prominence as a major destination for international music events. Fans can only hope this is just the beginning, and that even more large-scale festivals will continue to make Malaysia their home in the years to come.
