Fans crowded Kenanga Wholesale City on 2012 Asia Super Showcase ticket launch

Kenanga Wholesale City was packed with kpop fans as it was the ticket launch day of 2012 Asia Super Showcase organized by Marctensia and Universal Music Malaysia. Fans started queuing up as early as 4am-7am although the ticket was launching at 12pm. Fans lined up in front of the closed gates, just to make sure that they can secure one good ticket for themselves to see Super Junior M, BtoB and Exo M.

The flow of the event was very organized. Fans were not pushing each other but lining up in order instead. Floor plans were uploaded a day before the ticket launch so that ticket buyers can have a good look on which lane they should be queuing up. Before the clocks struck 12pm, the organizers played a few songs sang by the artiste and get the fans to sing along.

 

Fans started buying tickets right on time. Staffs and securities were in tight hands as they were busy sorting out tickets, counting money, taking care of the safety of the fans and make sure the flow is smooth. Fans were happy jumping around after getting their desired tickets. All ticket holders are entitled to get a Q&A form from the backstage after purchasing their tickets. They wrote down the question they would like to ask the artiste and placed it into separated boxes.

The staffs were working fast and hard but lines were still long after 2 hours. We could expect a full house on the 2012 Asia Super Showcase in Malaysia event day.

Wonder Girls rocked Wonder World Tour in Malaysia

Wonder Girls was in Malaysia a few years back for their first ever concert at Genting Highlands. This time, Wonder Girls are back to Malaysia to see their supportive Wonderfuls. The concert was held at Stadium Negara. Although the opening act wasn't JJ Project (Singapore had JJ Project as opening act), the concert was still full with female Wonderfuls.

As expected, Wonder Girls kicked off their concert with their recent hit title song "Like This". Fans stood up immediately when the girls showed up causing the VVIP and VIP area turned chaotic. Although the securities were trying their best to control the crowd, the girls' power were unresistable. Luckily nobody was hurt. The girls continued their concert by greeting the Malaysian fans in Malay. There were some mispronouncation but their covered up with their shy smiles.

Throughout the concert, they sang songs from their debut album until the recent US album. "So Hot" was performed by Yu-bin during her solo stage, "GNO", "Be My Baby" was specially performed by the girls wearing Malaysia's traditional costume Baju Kurung, "2 different tears" was sang in a different version, "Like Money", "Nu Shoes" and many more. Sun-ye's solo stage was extraordinary as she played the keyboard and sang Miss A's Touch. It was a new feeling hearing Sun-ye's voice singing Miss A's song.

"Nobody" was the encore song. Fans stood up and race to the barrier in front of the stage to catch a last glimpse of the girls. The girls were so friendly and started handshaking with their fans and handed the mic over to the fans to sing along with them. During the concert, Wonder Girls threw printed T-shirts and also candies for the crowd. Fans went wild when the stuffs were thrown towards them.

Wonder Girls said that it was great to be back in Malaysia and they will definitely come back to Malaysia soon. We can see the girls really enjoyed themselves here in Malaysia as they constantly tweeted Malaysia to thank the fans on Twitter. Yu-bin celebrated her birthday in Malaysia too. She later uploaded a birthday cake's photo which was given by Malaysian fans.

Wonder Girls with their funky look at press conference

Wonder Girls said that they are very excited to meet their fans in Malaysia again after 2 years and they are happy to be back here. When they were asked whether is there any plans that JYP Nation might be coming to Malaysia, they replied that there are no plans yet but they would definitely like to come. Sun-ye also marked that she is happy with her relationship now and the other members are really supportive of her which makes her very thankful. She said if there is any further development in her relationship, she will definitely announce it publicly.

When they were asked whether what was the difference between acting and singing, they said that acting was a bit tougher because during their acting days, they had to speak English all the time. Wonder Girls said they are still concentrating and preparing on their US album for now so solo album is still not on the list in their schedule yet but maybe in the future. Hye-rim said she likes Akon because his songs are fun and catchy, Sun-ye prefer Beyonce because she really looked up to her and hope they might have the chance to collaborate in the future. Yenny likes Usher which impressed the medias. Yu-bin likes the talented Katy Perry while So-hee likes Rihanna because she is cool and trendy.

Working at America was the toughest time for them as they had to speak English where they weren't really good back then but it was a great experience looking back now. Facing more and more newly debut groups in Korea, Wonder Girls tried to come up with their own music and they are grateful to see more styles of Kpop. Since JJ Project was one of the new idol group who debut this year, Wonder Girls asked medias to keep an eye on them because they are truly talented.

When the girls were asked what kind of character they would like to challenge in a drama, Hye-rim wanted to act in a romantic comedy or fantasy movie. Sun-ye preferred action movies like Angelina Jolie. Yenny likes Cat Woman and Yu-bin challenged Yenny saying they might have to compete with each other for the action and cool movie. Soo-hee, the maknae of the group said she would like to be a teenager in a movie simply because she wants to wear a school uniform. Isn't that cute?

Lastly, Wonder Girls said fans can expect debut songs and hit songs from them during the concert and also solo stages. Sun-ye thanked everyone for supporting them since their debut and they would love to spend wonderful time with fans at the concert.

T-ARA exploded the showcase with their charms

T-ARA came to Malaysia yesterday (3rd Oct) to hold a showcase at Menara PGRM, although it was their first ever showcase here in Malaysia, they manage to give out an extremely excellent performance. Fans went wild when they made their appearance by kicking off with their hit songs Lovey Dovey, Why Are You Like This, Roly Poly, Bo Beep Bo Beep, Day By Day and Sexy Love.

During their Bo Beep Bo Beep song, T-ARA wore their iconic cat costume gloves. The cute facial expressions of them really brought the crowd to the peak! The girls then threw their gloves to the fans. The glove from one of the girls actually hit by leg as I was sitting in front, before I could turn back and pick it up, a fan at the back manage to grab it before me, how sad.

T-ARA changed 2 sets of performance outfit that day, one was a bright red theme outfit with ribbons and polka dots, the other one was a black tight shorts and tube with a white stripe coat. T-ARA kept their promise as they really did tried their best to speak Malay and English throughout the showcase. They keep on tossing lovable phrases they learnt such as "Am I cute?" "Aku Cinta Padamu" "Terima Kasih"...

In between the performance, T-ARA drew the lucky draw box to choose lucky fans up on stage to play games with T-ARA. A few were called but none of them went up to claim their "prizes", and so T-ARA decided to do the countdown and continue drawing other lucky winners. At last, both selected fans were male fans. EunJung, HyoMin and Boram was grouped as group 1 while SoYeon, JiYeon, Qri and Ahreum was on group 2. EunJung shook the lucky guy's hand while HyoMin gave him a big hug when he went on stage. Both of them were asked to dance to T-ARA's song. Who ever gets louder applause will be crowned as the winner. Luck was on group 2's side as the lucky fan manage to grab more attention from the crowd. Therefore by winning the challenge, he got to take a group photo with T-ARA using his own phone and also an autographed Sexy Love album by T-ARA. Both fans won themselves an autographed album but the winner got a big group hug from the pretty girls as an additional reward. The crowd went wild when T-ARA initiated the group hug.

After singing 6 songs, the girls announced that they are going to sing their last song, Sexy Love. After their performance, fans didn't move an inch but yelled encore. After 5 minutes, T-ARA returned on stage and sang Roly Poly again. This time, the girls were so hyper and full of extra energy as they were busy giving fan service and posing for their fans. When the crowd went wild with the fan service, fans started to throw their smartphones on stage. BoRam took one of the smartphone and selca on stage as requested by fans. After that, more and more people started throwing phones on stage and asked the girls to take photo with it.

Lucky me as I brought my polaroid camera along, I asked a Korean photographer who was in front of the stage to pass the camera to JiYeon. JiYeon noticed I was going to pass her the polaroid camera, she stood near the stage and took the camera from the photographer. JiYeon then asked SoYeon to join her in the picture. The photo came out perfect! JiYeon then wanted to pass me back my polaroid camera, but then she did not know how to pass it down back, she stood there in front of the stage, waiting securities to take notice. I tapped one of the security guard to pass the camera and the polaroid back to me and he did. I was so happy to get the polaroid back.

T-ARA then proceeded with their high five sessions with fans. The first 200 fans who bought the VIP tickets were entitled with a stage access pass and also a pre autographed poster. To catch T-ARA's attention, I spotted a few fans who turned up with something unique. A group of Japanese fans came to support T-ARA and one of them was wearing a full outfit of Rilakkuma. Another guy I spotted shaved his hair to label "T-ARA" on his head.

Before the showcase end, fans sang SoYeon a birthday song and brought her a cake for her surprise birthday celebration. The showcase lasted around 1 and a half hours. SoYeon said they are so happy many fans came to support and they will be back soon. So Queens, keep supporting T-ARA and wait for their return!

T-ARA was also asked whether how do they feel about all the competitions in the entertainment industry as more and more new groups are debuting. T-ARA responded by saying that they try their best to present different styles of T-ARA in every album. Not too sexy not too cute, and they want to try different concepts and let fans see what they have it in them.
