 [ENTERTAINMENT] PREVIEW SCREENING AND PRESS CONFERENCE OF AIRFORCE THE MOVIE: SELAGI BERNYAWA

 

AIRFORCE THE MOVIE: SELAGI BERNYAWA UPLIFTS THE SPIRIT FOR NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION!

 


Kuala Lumpur, August 2022 - The GSC Mid Valley hosted a media screening and press conference for the local military blockbuster AIR FORCE THE MOVIE: SELAGI BERNYAWA. Members of the media were given the first look at the action blockbuster, which was followed by a press conference and Q&A session with the film's directors, Zulkarnain Azhar and Frank See, as well as the cast, which included Aiman Hakim Ridza, Dato' Adi Putra, Nas-T, Sara Ali, Pablo Amirul, Johan As'ari, Luqman Hafidz, Anas Ridzuan, Jack Tan, Iman Corinne, Scha Alyahya and Carmen Soo.

 


AIR FORCE THE MOVIE: SELAGI BERNYAWA is presented by Malaysian Armed Forces and Royal Malaysian Air Force, along with five prominent industry players Multimedia Entertainment, Golden Screen Cinemas, Astro, FXHammer Films and SixFun Media.


The plot revolves around a PASKAU team led by Captain Adib and his mentor, Major Adnan, who are tasked with protecting humanitarians serving in the war-torn country of Namburi. On their way home, their plane is shot down by local militants; 9 of the passengers manage to jump before the plane crashes. Back in Malaysia, the air force prepares for a rescue mission after learning of the news. Zafran, Adib's brother-in-law and a daring SUKHOI pilot who is temporarily grounded, fights for the chance to save them. The air force mobilises its combined assets for the mission, and the survivors make one last dash for salvation.


The film's Gala Premiere is held on the same night, with Guests of Honor including the Chief of Defence Force, Jeneral Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Haji Affendi bin Buang RMAF and Deputy Chief of Air Force, Lieutenant Jeneral Dato’ Indera Muhamad Norazlan bin Aris RMAF as its Guests of Honor. Also present at the event are Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Khalid bin Abu Bakar, Chairman, Multimedia Group; Datuk Steven Lim, Managing Director, Multimedia Group; Ms Koh Mei Lee, Chief Executive Officer, Golden Screen Cinemas Group; Mr Henry Tan, Chief Executive Officer, Astro Group; Mr Frank See, Director, FXHammer Films and Mr KC Hoe, Chief Executive Officer, SixFun Media.


More than 2,300 guests, including officers from the Malaysian Armed Forces and the Royal Malaysian Air Force, attended the Gala Premiere of AIR FORCE THE MOVIE: SELAGI BERNYAWA, which was held in 17 cinema halls at GSC Mid Valley. Representatives from its main sponsors Bonia and Cuckoo, as well as co-sponsors AHB and 7 Days, were in attendance.


The action-packed AIR FORCE THE MOVIE: SELAGI BERNYAWA is set to soar in 170 cinemas across Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore on August 25, 2022, thanks to the support of the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS). It is also available in Dolby Atmos and 4DX for a more immersive and enhanced experience. Please visit https://www.gscmovies.com.my/air-force-the-movie-selagi-bernyawa/  for more information.












During the press conference, the directors and the stars have shared with the media members regarding their experience during the filming of the show. 


Both of the directors Zulkarnain Azhar and Frank See have informed the media members regarding their most challenging scenes to film in the show. They also shared on how their production team made special pods to be attached to the fighter jet for their great aerial scenes. They did not inform the exact costs of production for the film but they assured the media members that the amount is huge!



Dato' Adi Putra who played Major Adnan was very happy to be involved in this film and he even paid respect to the TUDM and the respective teams during the press conference for their commitment in helping the filming process. He hopes that he can take part in Air Force future spin-offs or prequels if there are really any. 


All of the cast members were very honoured to be involved in this film. Apart from the filming, they were glad to learn more about the mechanisms of the jets and military training.



Pablo was surprised that he was being casted as a protagonist instead of an antagonist because he was always being casted as villains in other films. He's thankful that they do not need the artistes to buff up prior to the film. On the contrary, Anas Ridzuan who played a comedy relief in the film reprises his own comedic character during the press conference by jokingly mention about how he's been training his own body to prepare for the shooting process.



Jack Tan shared on how he was being casted in the show and kept expressing his apology to his fellow directors and co-actors for all the rain he caused during the shooting process due to his character's alias "Hujan" for the film.


Otherwise, Scha Alyahya, Iman Corinne and Carmen Soo have all expressed on how their female characters could be the representatives for female empowerment in movies like Air Force The Movie: Selagi Bernyawa!



Our team watched the film and really think it is a very impressive Malaysian production! We would highly recommend everyone to visit your nearby cinema to watch such a great film now!

[Press Conference] “Hello, Big Kid” “哈啰,交换生”

 [Press Conference] “Hello, Big Kid” “哈啰,交换生

 


Astro has launched a brand new original quiz game show “Hello,Big Kid哈啰,交换生” which invites parents, children, and artists to play the role as "primary students" to take on the primary school curriculum and promote joyful learning! Jack Lim 林德荣 urged parents to consider their children's perspectives and learn from one another; Darren 庄文杰  revealed that he made Lynn林佩盈cried on the show! Koe Yeet 高艺 dislikes being referred to as a "top student," claiming that intelligence is not equated with academic achievement. KAKA 卡卡杨铠嘉believes that pressure is frequently applied by adults onto the children.

 







This "most difficult" adult quiz game show titled “Hello,Big Kid哈啰,交换生” will premiere on Astro Channel 307 on September 4th, 2022. Some of the guests for the show including Jack Lim 林德荣, Lynn林佩盈,Koe Yeet 高艺,KAKA 卡卡杨铠嘉and the program's host Darren 庄文杰were invited to chat about the fun of the programme recording.

 

According to Jack Lim 林德荣, the show is appropriate for parents and children to watch together in order to strengthen their relationship and learn from one another.

 

"Many times, we must put ourselves in the shoes of the children; otherwise, there will be a sense of distance and a generation gap. This show is excellent and meaningful! Even as we get older, we should continue to learn. I spoke to reporters in English for 45 minutes at a press conference a few days ago." He laughed and said that whether the reporter could understand what he said or not, he felt that he has already outperformed himself.

 





During the press conference, Darren 庄文杰revealed that he did something in the show that he may never be able to do again, which was to make Lynn林佩盈cry. Lynn林佩盈 revealed that she has tried her best not to put any strain on her children. “Darren庄文杰misguided me to choose a high-scoring difficult problem at the time, but I couldn't answer it. So I had to ask my daughter, who was a student on the show, for help. Even though my daughter answered correctly, I still felt very guilty because I think I put too much pressure on her." She praised the programme planning team for all the efforts in presenting multiple aspects of the show such as the psychological perspective, syllabus revision scenes and etc are being captured to be shown. It definitely worth a watch for both adults and children!

 




On the other hand, 高艺Koe Yeet said that while she was in her schooling days, her teacher told her openly, "If you like acting so much, go act and don't study anymore." She used to think, "If you say I can't do it, I'll show you that I can," so she put in a lot of effort in school. "I dislike being referred to as a "top student." Being intelligent does not imply being obsessed with grades. Good grades do not imply that you are born intelligent; rather, it is dependent on how much time and effort you put into your studies."

 

KAKA 卡卡杨铠嘉, who challenged her boss陈培永Chan Phei Yong in the same episode, stated that she attended the show just for the sake of learning. She believed that the show's test was emotional intelligence rather than IQ. During the press conference session, KAKA was being tested on a few questions on the spot. It seems like the questions can be tricky too that even adults may have difficulty in answering.

 




The recording also featured new-father Jack Yap 叶朝明,  highly educated artist Joey Leong梁祖仪, Malaysia social media celebrity陈培永Chan Phei Yong,  MELODY DJ Jentzen Lim 林震前and Vivienne温慧茵and Wayne Chua蔡佩璇.

Furthermore, the show also invites non-celebrities parents to participate and take on the challenge together.

Selangor, August 2022 – AniManGaki 2022, the annual convention that brings together thousands of animation, comics, and games (ACG) fans, was held on the 27th and 28th of August 2022 at the MINES International Exhibition & Convention Centre!

 








AniManGaki 2022 is undoubtedly one of Malaysia's largest anime events this year! After nearly two years of pandemic, it's great to see anime fans physically gather and interact with one another. The event was so large that you could spend your entire day there for two days straight and still want more!

 













Furthermore, there is a significant increase in the number of exhibitors, artists, and cosplayers booths this year when compared to previous editions. I'm sure many fans were overjoyed to meet and interact with their favourite cosplayers.

 

























In addition, the merchandise market appears to be very large this year. You can basically get anything and everything related to anime, comics, and games here!

 









Aside from that, many stage activities take place over the two days, such as singing performances, guest appearances, Animangaki Idol, cosplay competition, lucky draw, and many more.

 [Coverage] Symphonic Anime by Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO)

Kuala Lumpur, August 2022 – It was a pleasant weekend last week at Dewan Filharmonik Petronasbecause anime fans were able to enjoy an anime-themed concert titled "Symphonic Anime"!

 

There are many anime fans all over the world due to the growing cultural phenomenon of anime, and many Malaysians are also part of the growing community! Many anime fans as well as cosplayers dressed up as their favourite characters attended this event! It was a very happy occurrence! In fact, some celebrity cosplayers and guest cosplayers attended the show! Hakken, the popular cosplayer beloved by many ACG fans, was one notable attendee during the show on 27 August 2022!


All 4 concerts are sold out with full capacity of over 3,600 people (920 people per concerts)!






Symphonic Anime has featured a wide array of anime songs ranging from the ones by Mamiya’s “Grave of the Fireflies: Setsuko & Saita”, Hisaishi’s “Princess Mononoke”, “Gake No Ue No Ponyo”, “Spirited Away Suite”, “Kimi Wo Nosete from Laputa”, “Kiki’s Delivery Service”, Fuyuki “Ultraseven Symphonic Poem: Selections”, Nomi’s “Whisper of the Heart: On A Hilly Town”, Tanaka’s “One Piece : To The Grand Line & I’m becoming the Pirate King”, Takanashi’s “Naruto Shippuden: Departure To The Front Lines”, Revo’s “Attack on Titan: Guren No Yumiya” and last but not least, the encore of “Dragon Ball Theme”!

 





The MPO and conductor Naohisa Furusawa delivered an outstanding performance throughout the show! The musical presentation of everyone's favourite anime songs is superb! In between performances, Naohisa Furusawa gave a tributary speech about the anime in which the songs were featured. He has expressed his love for Ultraman and even reminded audiences of the upcoming Ultraman film's release date!

 


The show's high points came in the second half, following the intermission! This segment of the show featured anime songs from popular Shonen anime such as One Piece, Naruto, Attack On Titan, and Dragon Ball! I believe that many people grew up watching shonen anime, and it has undoubtedly brought many nostalgic moments to the audiences! Furthermore, prior to the performance of "Attack On Titan: Guren No Yumiya," the conductor instructed the audience to yell the key lyric "Jäger!" after his cue. Everyone was able to join in the fun by shouting "Jäger!" as instructed during the performance! It was a really enjoyable interaction! This song was played again during the final encore, and the audience was once again led into the performance! What a memorable experience!

 



Of course, it's difficult to deny that many people also enjoyed the other encore song, "Dragon Ball Theme"! Even the conductor returned to the stage wearing a Dragon Ball T-shirt and made a "Kame Hame Ha" gesture to the audience and musicians before beginning the magnificent musical piece.

 



Overall, Symphonic Anime delivered on the promise of fun for anime fans! I really hope MPO organises another anime-themed concert in the near future!


In the meantime, hopefully all of you can check out these upcoming concerts in MPO:

 [Media Interview] MindaRyn @ AniManGaki 2022

Selangor, August 2022 – It was an awesome weekend on 27th and 28th August 2022 with the happening of AniManGaki 2022 (you can check out my coverage on the event here: https://www.wljack.com/2022/08/coverage-animangaki-2022.html)!

 

MindaRyn's presence is one of the event's highlights! MindaRyn is a Thai YouTuber and Singer who began on YouTube by covering anime theme songs! She made her debut in Japan, where several of her songs were featured in popular animes. (For eg, “Like Flames” in the anime of “That Tome I Got Reincarnated As A Slime”)

 

Thus, it was really a pleasant honour for our team to interview her during the event of AniManGaki 2022!

 

MindaRyn expressed her passion and love for music during the interview. In fact, if possible, one of her future goals would be to hold her own big solo concert.

 

In addition to that, she also mentioned about how different her life is now compared to the past as she is now a debuted singer with additional pressures on her shoulder.

 

Our chief editor Jack has taken the opportunity to ask MindaRyn regarding her thoughts on Malaysia. According to her, Malaysia felt like home to her because the weather and atmosphere here are pretty similar to her own home country, Thailand.

 

Jack further extended a question on what would MindaRyn tell her old self if she could travel back in time. MindaRynmentioned that she would have advised her old self to invest into Bitcoins. However, if she was able to get rich since the beginning, she would still pursue her passion in singing.

 

Lastly, MindaRyn shared that she really loves game musics and some examples are those from Final Fantasy series. When asked what was the first video game she ever played, she replied, "Red Alert!"

 


The interview ended pleasantly with the friendly and down to earth MindaRyn! All of the media members have the opportunity to take a group photo with her after the session! Look at our chief editor Jack putting his thumbs up, as he’s a huge fans of MindaRyn’s music!

 

We wish MindaRyn the best of luck with her future projects and hope that this is not her last visit to our country!

[Movie Review] Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

 [Movie Review] Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero


Synopsis

Magenta, CEO of Red Pharmaceuticals, wants to resurrect the Red Ribbon Army, which his father Commander Red led and was eventually destroyed by Goku. Magenta recruited Dr. Gero's surviving grandson Dr. Hedo, a superhero-obsessed mad scientist recently released from prison for grave robbing. Despite his reservations, Hedo accepts the offer after Magenta convinces him that Capsule Corp and the Z-Fighters are evil organisations. While Gokuand Vegeta are training under Whis on Beerus' planet alongside Broly, the world is threatened by the Red Ribbon Army, and the only ones available to defend the earth are the remaining Z fighters, particularly Gohan, Picollo, and others.

 





Will they be able to repel the Red Ribbon Army's impending attack? Let's kamehameha through the theatre and see the movie right now!

Review

"Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" has made extensive use of 3D animation as the primary medium for story presentation. The animation is very much similar to that of "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse"! Although "Dragon Ball Super: Broly"partially incorporated similar technology, the film this time has pushed it even further by making it fully animated in 3D! The action choreography appears more fluid with this animation style, with a variety of angles in capturing! While some fans may dislike this novel approach, I believe it is a welcome change, especially for younger fans who prefer 3D animation!






The film also brought back a lot of memories for DBZ fans who grew up during the DBZ era! Since his birth, Gohan has been regarded as one of the strongest Z fighters. However, following the Cell saga, he was demoted to the backbench, which is a travesty! Fortunately, this film has brought Son Gohan back into the spotlight, which will delight old fans! Furthermore, the film has done Picollo justice by giving him the power boost that he so richly deserves. The film also shows a different side of Picollo, which is a lot of fun to watch. Picollo, in reality, acts as a much more caring surrogate father for Gohan and his family. After seeing this film, many people will fall back in love with Picollo.

 








Aside from that, there's a lot of slapstick humour in this show. I remembered Dragon Ball having some funny moments in their show, but this movie has a lot of such humour that surprised me. As a result, the tone of the show is actually quite lighthearted, even though it becomes more serious in the final act!

 

However, the film has flaws of its own. I found the plot to be quite predictable, with some inconsistency in the pacing. Furthermore, while it's refreshing to see the animation in a different style, the fight scenes aren't as memorable as those seen in "Dragon Ball Super: Broly"! There are also fewer fights in this show than in "Dragon Ball Super: Broly"!

 







Overall, it's still a good time for long-time Dragon Ball fans because it provides a lot of fanservice to old fans by providing flashbacks and re-illustrating some memorable moments from the originals. In fact, the audience clapped and cheered for Gohan and Picollo in some scenes! Last but not least, there is a post-credit scene that will delight fans of Goku and Vegeta'srivalry! So keep an eye out for the post-credit scene!

 


The movie was reviewed by Chief Editor WLJack and co-editor John during the premiere screening!

 [Press Conference] KARNIVAL KEBAYA MALAYSIA 2022

MOTAC, TOURISM MALAYSIA, AND MISS MALAYSIA KEBAYA TO DEBUT ONE OF M'SIA'S LARGEST KEBAYA FESTIVALS - KARNIVAL KEBAYA MALAYSIA 2022

 


Kuala Lumpur, September 2022 - YBrs. Encik Shahrin Mokthar, Director of Package Development Division of Tourism Malaysia officiated the announcement of Malaysia’s first and greatest Kebaya Festival - Karnival Kebaya Malaysia 2022, an enticing cultural experience embracing the colours and traditions of Malaysia for all walks of life.

 




The festival, which is supported by the Ministry of Arts, Tourism, and Culture (MOTAC) and Tourism Malaysia, commemorates Miss Malaysia Kebaya's (MMK)efforts to preserve and educate on Malaysia's tourism, culture, and heritage through traditional fashion. Furthermore, it is a stepping stone aligned with the 'Malaysia Truly Asia'campaign, which aims to capture and define the essence of Malaysia's unique multi-ethnic and multi-cultural nation, making Malaysia an exceptional tourist destination; full of culture and heritage from all walks of life.

 


"With only a few inaugural events like this in Malaysia, it will function as a tourist attraction for foreigners and locals alike to drop by as they visit Malaysia's capital where they can learn about our traditions, heritage, and culture all at once," said Mr Adam Ham on behalf of the government. What MMK is attempting with the Kebaya Karnival Malaysia 2022 is an excellent example of how we can preserve and educate the rakyat about our roots, and we are delighted to assist them on their journey of showcasing Malaysia's culture, heritage, and tourism for future generations."

 





Malaysia is known for being a multi-ethnic and multicultural country, so when it comes to traditional clothing, the variety and choices are limitless. With the rapid development of technology and the rise of the new modern era, it is unavoidable that modernization is gradually displacing traditional aspects of Malaysian culture, including clothing, as it is now more common to find modern 'baju kebaya' or modern 'baju kurung' available in the Malaysian market as opposed to traditional outfits.

 




"In this era, we observe that everything is being modernised, including our traditional assets," MMK organiser Dr. Jason Hee said. “Although we welcome and support these changes, we also want to remind and re-educate Malaysians about our unique traditions, particularly our traditional clothing. With that, I hope that this festival will be more than just a fashion festival, but a festival of heritage and culture that will leave a lasting impression on all attendees."

 

Over two weekends in October, festivalgoers can expect a jam-packed 6-in-1 immersive cultural experience that includes - workshops, forums, kebaya exhibitions of various varieties, and beauty competitions to engage the public during their time at the event. Furthermore, MMK will work with industry fashion designers, as well as universities and colleges, to successfully establish a platform that inspires and encourages future designers in the country.

 



The event will begin on the 15th and 16th of October 2022 at Damen Mall, USJ, where visitors and participants can participate in the colourful culture exhibitions, forums, and workshops hosted by designers as well as universities and colleges. The semi-finals of Miss Malaysia Kebaya 2022 will be held there, and the audience will be able to enjoy a display of Kebayas down the runway. The event will conclude in a festive manner with a gala night officiated by MOTAC on 30th October 2022 in conjunction with the grand finals of Miss Malaysia Kebaya 2022.

 





MOTAC and Tourism Malaysia, in collaboration with MMK, are thrilled to share Malaysia's culture and heritage with the world, and they hope that this festival will encourage more people to visit Malaysia and experience the culture for themselves.

 [Upcoming Event] The Tales of The Moon @ Sungei Wang Plaza

 


Kuala Lumpur, September 2022 – This year marks the 45th anniversary of Sungei Wang Plaza, and what better way to commemorate the occasion than by winning The BrandLaureate BestBrands Awards 2021-2022, Nation's Pride Brand of the Year in Nation's Most ICONIC & Renowned Mall. Indeed, this is a timely acknowledgement as they prepare to launch the iconic Sungei Wang Plaza's Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, Sungei Wang Plaza debuts its latest cultural and art installation, 'Mid-Autumn The Tales of the Moon,' which will run from September 1st to September 25th, 2022.

 

"After a three-year hiatus from hosting a full-fledged Mid-Autumn Festival, it is now time for us to bring back one of Sungei Wang Plaza's most anticipated events of the year, the Mid-Autumn Lantern Parade." This parade brings back many happy memories of exciting times, as well as the rich history of Sungei Wang Plaza. Mr Ng Yih Chen, Chairman of Sungei Wang Plaza Management Corporation, says, "The Mid-Autumn Festival has always been a platform to promote our cultural and heritage to locals and tourists alike."

 

With a giant inflatable moon at the Centre Court, a giant rabbit at the Main Entrance, four hand-painted jade rabbits, and an entire street filled with over 500 lanterns along the Lantern Walk, the mall is transformed into an insta-worthy photo and video-taking location.

 

Sungei Wang Plaza will also be handing out over 500 goodie bags to invite shoppers to join for the upcoming Lantern Parade on September 10th, 2022 at the Main Entrance. On that day, there will be a variety of activities and performances, including a drumming workshop, a lantern painting workshop, and a colouring contest. A line-up of performances will begin at 3.00pm at the Centre Court, followed by the launch of 'Mid-Autumn The Tales of the Moon' at 6.00pm. At the event, you can also meet your favourite local celebrities, @kelkelhee, @klayheng, @adelinewongg, and @zuvia p from Dissy and Co. Yang Berhormat Tuan Fong Kui Lun, Member of Parliament for Bukit Bintang, will lead the Lantern Parade, which will cover a 1-kilometer radius around Bukit Bintang. Over 32 lion dance troupes will perform at the Lantern Parade, including two lion dances for the Launching Ceremony! This is an event not to be missed.

 

Sungei Wang Plaza is also pleased to announce Magnum as the main sponsor, who has consistently supported their cultural and CSR events. Their event sponsors include Tourism Malaysia, the Federation of Selangor and the Federal Territory Dragon and Lion Dance.

 

Persatuan Hakka Wilayah Persekutuan dan Selangor, Persatuan Ka Yin Wilayah KL & Selangor, DJI, Becon Stationery, The Malaysian Book of Records, and Craft Space are among the organisations involved.

 

Tales from the Moon

As you enter the mall, look up to see Malaysia's Largest Inflatable Moon, which spans 10 metres and is hung at the Centre Court. Take your time gazing into the open space as you admire this record-breaking moon in the mall's centre. The Malaysia Book of Records has certified the 10 metre diameter moon as the Largest Inflatable Moon in Malaysia.

 


The Jade Rabbit's Tales

 [Coverage] (G)I-DLE WORLD TOUR JUST ME IN KUALA LUMPUR


 

Kuala Lumpur, September 2022 – Jointly presented by Yoodo and Great Eastern, ACO Media & Hitman Solutions in partnership with The WonderLand+ have brought us (G)I-DLE WORLD TOUR JUST ME in KUALA LUMPUR on 9th September 2022!

 


Our team is honored to be able to attend the show thanks to Bio-essence Malaysia for the VIPs tickets! We get to enjoy and scream our lungs out along with other Neverlands at Zepp Kuala Lumpur!

 

Kicking Off The Show, “Oh My God”!

The show began on time at 8.30pm with the incredible track of “Oh My God”! The girls from (G)I-DLE including So-yeon, Mi-Yeon, Minnie, YuQi and Shu Hua have wowed the audiences with their impressive stage performance! The show's ambience and atmosphere were only heightened by subsequent performances of "Villain Dies" and "LATATA"!

 



Intermissions with members’ self introduction!

The girls from G(I)-DLE has introduced themselves to the Malaysian Neverlands in very adorable ways of their own. YuQi and Shu Huaspoke Mandarin as well, knowing that many of the local Neverlands spoke it. They also wished the Neverlands a "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" Every time G(I)-DLE spoke to the fans on stage, it felt so heartwarming because they are so friendly!

 






(G)I-DLE then enthralled the audience with"Blow Your Mind,""Senorita,""DUMDi DUMDi," and "Luv U"! They also involve the fans into the performance by instructing the Neverland to sing along to"DUMDi DUMDi"!

 





Several pre-recorded videos were also shown on stage during the girls' intermissions when they went backstage for costume changes. They also revealed to the fans that HANN (Alone in winter) actually tells a story that has connection with their other songs.

 

The heat and excitement further escalated with the following tracks of “Lion”, “Liar”, “My Bag”, “Pop/Stars” and “Tomboy”! The peak was definitely during the performances of “My Bag” and “Tomboy”! (G)I-DLE has taught the fans to dance along for “My Bag” and sing along the iconic lines for “Tomboy”!

 










The surprise for the show was when all the Neverlands pulled out the card showing “Happy Birthday to YuQi”! YuQi expressed that she didn’t expect this scenario. Coincidentally, her lunar birthday actually fell on the same date as the concert. So, it was indeed her birthday that day if based on lunar calendar. 


The girls then proceeded with 2 encore songs before the superb concert has come to an end!



 

Our team from wljack.comreally enjoyed the show very much. Once again, we would like to thank Bio-Essence Malaysia for making our dreams to watch (G)I-DLE concert come true!
