Delivering an electrifying and emotionally charged two-and-a-half-hour performance, XIA captivated fans from start to finish, creating an unforgettable night filled with powerful music, heartfelt moments, and memories that will be cherished for years to come.

Throughout the night, XIA demonstrated his remarkable artistry and versatility with a carefully curated setlist featuring “HANA”, “Pit A Pat”, “Forest of Memories”, “My Night”, “Slowly”, “Homage”, “Reach”, “Red Diamond”, “XIAHTIC”, “ROCK THE WORLD”, “GRAVITY”, and “INCREDIBLE”, effortlessly transitioning between powerful dance performances and moving ballads.

A standout moment of the evening was his performance of “GRAVITY”, the title track of his latest full-length album. XIA shared that although fans may have listened to some of these songs online, this concert marked the first time he was able to perform them live in a solo concert setting. Every song had been thoughtfully selected to make the evening especially meaningful for his Malaysian fans.

Beyond the spectacular performances, it was XIA’s genuine warmth and exceptional fan service that made the night truly unforgettable. The singer transformed the concert into an intimate gathering, constantly interacting with fans and enthusiastically responding to their spontaneous requests. He delighted the audience by dancing to the legendary hit “Mirotic”, bringing his beloved musical characters to life on stage, and even singing an impromptu request while reading the lyrics from a fan’s mobile phone, prompting deafening cheers throughout the venue.

The evening also revealed XIA’s softer, appreciative side. He was visibly touched upon seeing the Malaysian snacks and gifts thoughtfully prepared by fans and expressed his heartfelt gratitude for their unwavering support. To the delight of the audience, he shared his love for durian and hoped to enjoy the iconic Malaysian fruit before returning to Korea.

As one of Korea’s most respected musical actors, XIA also reflected on his journey beyond music. While he admitted that pursuing musical theatre has been both demanding and challenging, he credited the continuous love and support from fans for giving him the strength to persevere and achieve new milestones, including receiving critical acclaim and awards for his performance in Beetlejuice.

The emotional peak of the night arrived when fans surprised him with a specially produced appreciation video and handmade gifts prepared exclusively for him. Deeply moved by the gesture, XIA thanked fans for their years of support and expressed his sincere hope to return to Malaysia again in the future.

.

.

More than just a concert, the evening was a long-awaited reunion between an artist and the fans who have stood by him throughout the years. Through an extraordinary two-and-a-half-hour performance filled with outstanding music, spontaneous moments and heartfelt exchanges, XIA not only delivered an unforgettable show but also reaffirmed the special bond he shares with Malaysian fans—making his first solo concert in Malaysia a night that will be remembered long after the final encore.

Following the successful Kuala Lumpur show, XIA will continue his GRAVITY Asia tour with upcoming stops in Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, and Singapore, bringing the powerful experience of GRAVITY to fans across the region.

MCM celebrates 50 years with a bold expression of identity where music and fashion converge.

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 JUNE — Global luxury haus MCM unveils ‘MCM x ATEEZ with MINGI —FIX ON,’ a capsule collection created in collaboration with globally acclaimed K-pop group ATEEZ. Inspired by the signature message of ATEEZ’s main rapper and dancer MINGI, the collection explores self-expression through a bold visual language shaped by movement,emotion, and evolving identity.

Rooted in the idea of turning inward rather than seeking external validation, “FIX ON” becomes more than a phrase — it emerges as a statement of focus, individuality, and self-definition. Through striking graphics and layered design elements, the collection reflects the fluid nature of identity and the confidence to embrace one’s truest self.

The collection reinterprets MCM’s signature bag silhouettes — including backpacks, crossbody bags, and Boston bags — through bold FIX ON-inspired painted detailing. Combined with ready-to-wear pieces such as T-shirts, zip-up hoodies, and caps, the capsule reflects a dynamic balance between heritage craftsmanship and contemporary self-expression.

Blurring the boundaries between fashion and music, the collection also appears within the visual narrative of MINGI’s solo LP project released in May, including oficial cover imagery and music video moments that further expand the world of “FIX ON.”

“FIX ON represents staying focused on who you truly are,” says MINGI of ATEEZ. “I hope this collection encourages people to express themselves freely and embrace their individuality.”

Since its founding in 1976 amid Munich’s vibrant cultural scene and the era of disco, MCM has continuously evolved alongside music and youth culture — from the rise of hip-hop in New York to the global influence of K-pop today. Building on this legacy, the collaboration with ATEEZ opens a new cultural dialogue, celebrating creativity, individuality, and fearless self-expression through the language of luxury.

The MCM x ATEEZ with MINGI — FIX ON capsule collection will be available in MCM boutiques in Pavilion KL, TRX & The Gardens Mall starting 7 June.
