Girls’ Generation To Perform At The Post-Race Concert In Sepang!

Sepang International Circuit (SIC) today announced that one of South Korea’s hottest pop groups, Girls’ Generation will be performing at the post-race concert for the 2015 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysia Grand Prix on 29th March 2015. This follows the announcement by American rocker Lenny Kravitz who recently cancelled his tour in Asia, including the scheduled performance in Sepang.

The concert, to be held at the Helipad in the Sepang Circuit has also been brought forward to an earlier time slot. Gates will now open at 4:30pm, with the main act set to perform at 5:30pm and concert ending at 8pm.

Upon the announcement, Sepang International Circuit CEO Dato’ Razlan Razali said:

We are very pleased to secure an act like Girls’ Generation for the concert, following our recent disappointment. Indeed, we are still working on securing another world-class performer for the concert, but we just had to share the good news on Girls’ Generation as soon as possible. Having this hugely popular group performing right here in Sepang makes the post-race concert a very special occasion, so we hope their fans will take the opportunity to see them, from only RM80 onwards, besides also watching the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix. With their large fan base here in Malaysia and wide appeal – from youths to families of all ages, it is good for us to create opportunities to introduce the experience of watching the F1 race live to these fans that may not have been to a race weekend at Sepang.

On behalf of the SIC team, I thank the relevant authorities including the Central Agency for Foreign Artists’ Filming and Performance Application (PUSPAL) for their support in accepting and processing all the required documentation and paperwork for the replacement artistes. We have worked hard to secure the artistes but it is the support from these authorities that will make the post-race concert possible.

Girls’ Generation is an 8-member girl group created by SM Entertainment, a prominent South Korean entertainment company. This popular group debuted in 2007 and became one of South Korea’s most popular musical acts after the success of their 2009 song, “Gee”.

Their popularity transcends borders – proven by their large international fan base comprising men and women from various cultures.

Tickets purchased for the Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysia Grand Prix allow ticketholders entrance to the after-race concert plus the F1 Carnival and other selected activities at no extra cost, besides also rewarding them with One Ticket Unlimited benefits, including discounts and promotions from various retail outlets and brands in Kuala Lumpur.

Ticket prices begin from RM80 – with tickets ranging from RM340 to RM1,770 for seats in the Main Grandstand, RM440 for the Tower, RM280 to RM660 for Grandstands F and K1, and RM80 to RM160 for Hillstand tickets.

The F1 tickets can be purchased:

• online at SIC’s website

• from a ticket agent – just check the location from SIC’s website

Take couple's photo with Boyfriend!

I guess this machine can be found in Japan. It is like the photo booth machine that can be found in Malaysia. It's just that they have programmed to add in Boyfriend's photo in it so that when fans take photos, it seems like they are taking photos with Boyfriend. Many photo taking machines in Korea and Japan have this kind of programmed ones that they use to attract fans to visit their shop more often. Girls' Generation, Super Junior, and Boys Over Flower's actors/actress can be found easily too in Japan.

As Boyfriend have debut in Japan not long ago, they have been promoting hardly in Japan. They have endorsed Dearberry cosmetics/beauty products that is also available in Japan. Boyfriend's popularity in Japan is sky rocketing.

Check out the interesting sticker photos below!

MBLAQ's G.O confessed that he dropped out of high school because of SNSD's TaeYeon

It was shocking to know that MBLAQ's G.O dropped out of high school because of SNSD's TaeYeon. So what's the real story behind this? G.O revealed on Sesame Player that he dropped out of high school because of TaeYeon and it shocked everyone. He said that when he was in high school back then, he joined a nation wide singing competition and end up getting crowed as the 1st runner up. He was then informed that the champion was a girl who was younger than him by 2 years.

G.O said, "I won second place at a nationwide singing competition and was shocked to find out that I had lost first place to someone two years younger than me." In that case, G.O begged his mother to allow him to drop out of school and to pursue his singing career. He continued, “I realized that I had to do more and completely immerse myself in this and begged my parents to let me drop out of school so I could prepare to become a singer. I took my GED later and was fortunately able to get into college.”


Shockingly, the champion that night was none other than SNSD's TaeYeon. Well, at least this proves that the both of them of good singers! And A PLUS are proud of G.O on how far he is willing to sacrifice to make his dream come true. Well done to G.O and also TaeYeon.

SNSD's SeoHyun celebrated her 22nd birthday with some of her close friends in an open-aired restaurant. EunHyuk, being one of SeoHyun's close friends have been tweeting live photos to share with his fans.

He first tweeted, "Last night… I received a Kakao Talk message from Seohyun saying, 'Oppa, what are you doing tomorrow night??' I asked back, 'Why, what's up?' Seohyun said, 'I'm going to have a birthday party with some close friends!!^^' I replied back, 'Then why are you inviting me…' Anyway, I headed there tonight to wish her a happy birthday. Unexpectedly, I ended up being the first person to arrive."

In the next photo with a caption, he tweeted, "We’re drinking juice… Suffocating awkwardness". SeoHyun was pouring him a drink in the photo tweeted.

After KyuHyun arrived, EunHyuk uploaded a group photo with KyuHyun included. Tweeting, "After 30 minutes, Kyuhyun arrived! Still kind of a weird combination. We tried to make it look like a bright environment"

Finally, HeeChul, SooYoung, JinWoon and Amber arrived. Excitedly, EunHyuk tweeted a photo with the caption, "Heenim and Sooyoung arrived!! It’s getting better. But where are Seohyun’s friends…” and “An hour after the promised time, Seohyun’s real friend Jinwoon and Amber arrived!! Seohyun, is this the group photo you were looking for?”

At least, YoonA and Sunny arrived with SeoHyun's birthday cake. Lastly, EunkHyuk tweeted, "YoonA and Sunny arrived with cake!!!! This ended up being SuJu&SoShi&JYP Jinwoon kekeke. I left after that. I heard that Leeteuk and Changmin came after me. Anyway, happy birthday, Seohyun^^."
