Sepang International Circuit (SIC) today added to the Formula 1 K-Pop extravaganza when they announced that popular South Korean male pop group SHINee will be joining Girls’ Generation as joint headline acts at the post-race concert for the 2015 Formula 1 PETRONAS Malaysia Grand Prix on 29th March 2015.
Gates will open at 5pm after the F1 race, to allow all ticket holders to head to the Helipad at the Sepang Circuit, where the concert will be held.
In a specially customised performance, the K-Pop idol groups will perform in rotation for 2 hours, from 6pm to 8pm accompanied by Korean DJ Hitchhiker which will elevate the performance, after which the concert will end by 8:30pm. SHINee and Girls’ Generation will be joined by popular local artistes as the opening act.

Upon the announcement, Sepang International Circuit CEO Dato’ Razlan Razali said:
We are excited to offer this Kpop extravaganza this year, knowing that there is a significant fan base among Malaysians from all walks of life. This is also in line with our F1 theme “Experience F1 Like Never Before” and our family-oriented focus this year. Kpop appeals to young and old alike, and will also attract a new audience to come to the Sepang International Circuit to experience the adrenaline-laden atmosphere of Race Day. The rotating performance by the two groups is indeed something new we are offering, and we hope it will make this day even more memorable for all spectators.
SHINee, a 5-member group formed by SM Entertainment in 2008, is considered one of the best live performance acts in South Korea with good vocal performances and complex choreography. The members – Onew, Jonghyun, Key, Minho, and Taemin – have won several awards together, including emerging #1 in the Mnet M Countdown in 2013 and #1 in the KBS Music Bank Chart in ​2013.
While they are known for their fashion sense trailblazing the “SHINee Trend”, the members have also made news for more serious activities, such as taking part in the Help African Children project co-organised by the Korean Red Cross Society and the Korean UNICEF committee, and becoming honorary ambassadors for Seoul’s Gangnam district to promote tourism.

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

20 January 2013






Fans started to queue at the Sepang International Circuit entrance as early as 8am to secure a front row view. The entrance was opened at 2.30pm. By the time, fans were geared up to enter the venue. Fans had to walk a long stretch of road before they could reach the ticket entrance. Fans have to line up according to their ticket category. The exclusive red carpet event was scheduled to start around 5.00pm so the Samsung Galaxy ticket holders were allowed to enter the venue at 4.30pm.

Gates were opened on time and fans were pleased as it was tiring queuing up as early as 8am and waited under burning hot sun for 8 hours straight. The red carpet event was simple and short as nominated artistes arrived at the red carpet area with their SUVs. It was more of a short photo taking session by the medias and the artistes did a short briefing on themselves before heading backstage to do interviews with medias. Fans were all hyped out when screams could be heard along the way.

When the stage entrance was opened, fans became a little too chaotic as they could not wait to enter. The gate were pushed open, leaving securities worrying about their safety. The award show was predicted to kick off at 7.30pm and it did. The emcee for Day 1 was CN Blue’s Jung Yong-hwa and KARA’s Nicole Jung. Yong-hwa spoke in Korean as it is a Korean award event while Nicole spoke English, impressing the crowd with her fluent English. Before they take their role as the emcee of the day, the 2 of them who are from popular boy band and girl group gave fans an explosive opening performance. Nicole and Yong-hwa sang “Because Of You” (Neyo’s version). What captured the hearts’ of the fans was Nicole’s sexy chair dance at the very beginning.





First off, Yong-hwa and Nicole did a short introduction and gave an opening speech by giving fans insights of The Golden Disk Awards on how votes were calculated and how awards were granted. The first award was the Golden Disk Award Album Division. It was won by Infinite, B1A4, CN Blue, FT Island, BEAST, 4minute, KARA, SHINee and Super Junior.

Each performance from the artist comes along after they have given their thank you speech. The first 2 groups to perform were Infinite and B1A4. Infinite performed 2 of their hit title track, “The Chaser” and “Paradise”. B1A4 sang their new comeback song “Tried To Walk” and “Baby Goodnight”. Infinite wow fans with their synchronized choreography while B1A4 surprised fans with their striking red costumes.






The second award to be given out was New Rising Kpop Star. This award is to be given to a rookie or rookie group who have debuted not long ago and have proved that they are definitely a star or group to keep an eye on with their skyrocketing popularity. This award were granted to SM’s new creation, EXO and FNC’s new it girl, Juniel. EXO proved to the crowd that they deserved the award by performing their hit debut song “MAMA” and “History”. Juniel in other hand, sang a lovely song “Bad Person” and a duet with her senior CN Blue’s Jong-hyun, “Illa Illa”.






Next up, 3 awards were given away at the same time, Next Generation Star, Best Dance Performance and Best Group Performance. BTOB, the newly debuted boy group from Cube Entertainment took the Next Generation Star award home, leaving Melodies with a smile on their faces. The Best Dance Performance was awarded to the talented mixed group, Trouble Maker. Since the exotic performance Trouble Maker gave during the MAMA Stage in Singapore, they have been conquering hearts of many young fans around the globe with their sexy and powerful dance moves. Lastly, nobody deserves the Best Group Performance other than Infinite. Infinite was well known with their synchronized group performance and have made them a tough competitor in the industry.




Trouble Maker, made up from Cube Entertainment consisting HyunA from 4minute and Jang Hyun-seung from Beast was the first to perform among the 3 of them. The sexy performance of them made fans cheered for more but unfortunately, they only sang their title song, “Trouble Maker”. Next up, BTOB took the stage. The new boy group rocked the crowd with their hit songs “Insane” and “WOW”. The catchy song of theirs made Melodies hyped up.




FT Island continued to heat up the crowd by singing “I Wish” and “Life”. Lee Hong-ki, the main singer of the group was the bomb of the night. The vocal and expression of his throughout the night was indescribable. The band was amazing as they showed off their guitar and rapping skills perfectly on stage. Lee Hong-ki was the emcee for The 27th Golden Disk Awards on Day 2 along with Da-som from SISTAR.




MSN Southeast Asia Award, a special award given to Super Junior was they were voted for the best group on MSN. Si-won, a member of Super Junior gave his thank you speech after receiving the award from the MSN representative. Followed by CN Blue and Kara, they were voted as Malaysia’s most favourite group. Yong-hwa, the emcee of the day thanked Boice for voting for them and even stated that they will be back for CN Blue’s concert in Malaysia soon. The sweet girls of Kara were thrilled to receive the award. Nicole, emcee of the day thanked Malaysian Kamilias in English and walked away with a trophy on their hands.

B1A4 had a special stage after KARA and CN Blue left the stage. They shed off their striking red look and appeared in a black and white look. BTOB and Exo also performed a special stage song after B1A4 which were dedicated to Melodies and Exotics. The powerful performance by Exo really amazed the crowd. 





4minute and CN Blue came under the spotlight to receive their Golden Disk Award Album Division. 4minute teased fans with their long legs and pretty faces. 4minute performed “Volume Up”, “Pretend” and “Hot Issue” afterwards. The catchy song of theirs made fans craved for more. CN Blue gave their best on stage by performing “Hey You” and “Intuition”. The awesome performances leave fans with jaw-dropping expression.





After the performance, it is back to award ceremony time. This time, 2 awards were given at the same time. JTBC Best Artiste goes to Beast and Producer of the Year goes to Han Seung-ho from FNC. Beast was dressed in smart black and white suits with tie. They were more than happy to receive the meaningful award. This is the 5th time for Beast to land their feet in Malaysia and Beauties were excited to meet them after a long time. Artistes from FNC such as FT Island, CN Blue and Juniel came up to the stage and congratulated Han Seung-ho for winning the award.




Beast sang “Special” and “Beautiful Night” for the night. Lee Gi-kwang, unfortunately tore his pants while dancing to “Special”. He went backstage to change his pants but I guess there were no extra pants for him and he had to continue performing, without changing his tore pants. Still, Beast gave a beastly performance and sang to their latest hit song “Beautiful Night”.




Kara in the other hand performed their sexy song “Pandora”, “Mister” and “Step”. However, due to the spotlight problem, lighting went off during Kara’s “Pandora” performance. The girls were requested to dance again for the recording as the award show wasn't a live show. While waiting for the lighting problem to be solved, the girls went backstage, preparing to hit the stage again. As a professional emcee, Yong-hwa kept the fans entertained by creating Mexican wave. Fans were more than excited to cooperate. Good job Yong-hwa!




The last two performance of the night were Super Junior and SHINee. Super Junior brought home 3 big awards which were Golden Disk Award Album Division, Album of the Year and MSN Southeast Asia Award. Super Junior performed their hit songs such as “Super Man”, “Bonamana”, “Oppa Oppa” and “Sexy, Free & Single”. Their extraordinary performance captivated ELFs heart and made the long wait worthwhile. They were friendly to the crowd and Kang-in nearly shed tears while receiving the grand award and were teased by his fellow group mate.




Last but not least, SHINee finally step on the land of Malaysia. Despite the cancelled event in 2012, SHINee made Shawols shed tears by performing “Sherlock” and “Lucifer”. Shawols were screaming their lungs out for SHINee and chanted “SHINee’s back” and “SHINee’s in the house”. It was a touching performance as it was a dream comes true for all Shawols who have been waiting for them. 




At the end of the event, all the artistes gathered on stage to bid farewell to their fans and to make the closing. A few of the groups did not last until the end because of their tight schedule and had to depart early. Once again, congratulations to all the winners and do comeback to Malaysia soon!
