KUALA LUMPUR, 13 September 2026 – Malaysian fans gathered for an exciting afternoon as iQIYI International Global Ambassador Cheng Lei (丞磊) made his first-ever appearance in Malaysia with iQIYI at iQIYI STARSHIP 2026, held today at Sunway Velocity Mall, Kuala Lumpur.

The event brought Cheng Lei closer to local audiences through interactive games and memorable on-stage moments, followed by a dedicated press conference.

Cheng Lei Turns Up the Charm for Malaysian Fans

The afternoon kicked off with fans gathering to welcome Cheng Lei and experience a more playful side of the actor beyond his on-screen roles.

A highlight of the afternoon was seeing him learn Malay phrases and playfully use them to charm the crowd, drawing enthusiastic cheers and laughter. The exchange added a distinctly Malaysian touch to his first iQIYI STARSHIP appearance in the country.

The atmosphere grew more heartfelt as Cheng Lei read messages from fans and watched a touching fan video, creating a warm, meaningful connection with the audience.

At the close of the public event, Yang Xianghua, President of iQIYI International, presented Cheng Lei with a commemorative award in recognition of his role as iQIYI INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL AMBASSADOR.

Dinesh Ratnam, Senior Managing Director of iQIYI Southeast Asia, said: “Bringing iQIYI STARSHIP to Malaysia for the second time this year reflects the strength of this market and the growing local engagement with Chinese entertainment. Following previous appearances by artists such as Luo Zheng, Chen Zheyuan and Esther Yu, we are delighted to welcome Cheng Lei and bring him closer to Malaysian fans. Through drama promotions, fan events and exclusive experiences, iQIYI STARSHIP allows us to extend entertainment beyond the screen and strengthen the connection between Chinese artists and local audiences.”

From Popular Roles to Growing International Recognition

Cheng Lei’s popularity continues to grow among international audiences, supported by a strong portfolio of Chinese dramas. His starring drama How Dare You!? (成何体统) has become one of iQIYI International’s top C-dramas, with his portrayal of Xiahou Dan, a “transmigrated tyrant” full of striking contrasts, resonating strongly with viewers.

His other popular works, including Legend of the Female General (锦月如歌) and Shadow Love (与晋长安), are also eagerly anticipating his upcoming drama, Leading Stars (许你星河千里).

Cheng Lei shared: “This is my first time joining iQIYI STARSHIP in Malaysia, and I’m truly happy to meet everyone here. The welcome has been incredibly warm, and seeing everyone’s enthusiasm in person has made this visit even more memorable. I’m very grateful for the support and hope to return to Malaysia in the future.”

Continuing the Conversation with Malaysian and Regional Media

Following the public event, Cheng Lei joined Malaysian and regional media for a dedicated press conference. He spoke about his impressions of Malaysia, his experience with local food and his acting journey, including the challenges and creative process behind bringing different characters to life.

Sunway Pyramid transformed into an absolute hotspot of excitement last Sunday, September 6, 2026, as hundreds of enthusiastic fans gathered to welcome Thai star Phuwin Tangsakyuen at the “MizuMi First Glow with Phuwin” event. Presented by MizuMi, the No.1 Thai sunscreen brand, the high-profile showcase brought the vibrant energy and excitement of T-Beauty closer to Malaysian fans, turning the mall’s Blue Atrium into a sea of glowing banners and passionate cheers.

An Impromptu Mini-Concert That Stopped the Mall

The atmosphere reached a fever pitch when Phuwin stepped onto the stage, immediately captivating the crowd. Delivering an unforgettable highlight of the afternoon, the multi-talented star treated his supporters to a live two-song performance, dazzling the atrium with high-energy renditions of “BLACK CARD” and “ALL IN.”

The venue instantly erupted into an electric concert arena as fans matched his vocal energy line for line, singing along in unison so loudly to every chorus that it felt less like a brand appearance and more like a sold-out arena tour stop.

Fun Games and Close-Up Fan Interactions

The excitement didn’t stop at the music. Phuwin kept the energy soaring by teaming up with the host for a nostalgic twist, playing a fun round of the local-favorite mini game “flipping eraser” right on stage.

The interactive segment continued as lucky fans were selected from the crowd to join Phuwin up close for engaging stage games, including “long pitch” and “telepathy” challenges. Laughter and playful banter filled the venue, giving the chosen supporters unforgettable moments with the star. To top it all off, fifty lucky contest winners secured an exclusive photo session with the actor, creating memories to last a lifetime.

Skincare Secrets and the T-Beauty Wave

During a special sharing segment, Phuwin opened up about his personal beauty tips, detailing how he maintains a fresh, glowing complexion and incorporating MizuMi’s cult-favorite products into his busy daily routine.

Beyond the celebrity fan experience, visitors explored MizuMi’s innovative multilingual AI Skin Analysis, available in Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, and English. The tech-driven consultation helped attendees better understand their unique skin needs and discover tailored product matches. Fans also had the opportunity to test out the Watsons HWB Award-winning MizuMi UV Bright Body Serum.

Malaysia, 2 September 2026 — Skechers, The Comfort Technology Company™ and global leader in lifestyle and performance footwear, marked a new chapter last Friday, in its continued growth across Malaysia with the opening of its newly relocated and expanded Superstore at Sunway Pyramid (LG1.129).

Bringing together a series of brand milestones under one roof, the celebration marked the first official public appearance since their appointment as Skechers Regional Brand Ambassadors DK (@dk_is_dokyeom), SEUNGKWAN (@pledis_boos), and DINO (@feat.dino) of SEVENTEEN, alongside a special big-screen showcase of the brand’s latest campaign video featuring the trio.

Located within Sunway Pyramid, the newly relocated store spans approximately 8,650 square feet, nearly six times the size of its previous 1,453 square-foot location within the mall. The newly expanded Superstore is the first of its kind in Subang Jaya and offers consumers a broader selection of Skechers lifestyle and performance footwear, apparel and accessories in a more immersive shopping environment.

The event attracted an estimated of more than 8,000 attendees, comprising invited guests, fans and shoppers, as the celebration brought together the store opening and an immersive experience at the mall’s iconic Ice Rink. From a combined fashion and parkour performance featuring the Skechers Fall Winter 2026 Shoes and Apparel to interactive fan activities and entertainment, the event brought together fashion, performance and community in one of the brand’s largest consumer activations in Southeast Asia to date.

A NEW CHAPTER FOR SKECHERS AT SUNWAY PYRAMID

Following its soft opening on 7 August 2026, the newly relocated Sunway Pyramid Superstore represents Skechers’ continued investment in enhancing its retail presence across Malaysia.

Designed to meet growing consumer demand, the expanded space houses Skechers’ most comprehensive product offering in Subang Jaya to date. Alongside its full range of lifestyle footwear, apparel and accessories, the store features dedicated zones for Walking, Running, Pickleball, Trail, Kids and Performance Apparel, creating a more intuitive shopping journey while making it easier for consumers to explore products tailored to different lifestyles and activities.

The Superstore brings together the brand’s lifestyle and performance categories within a single retail destination. This further reinforces Skechers’ commitment to being a one-stop destination for consumers seeking footwear, apparel and accessories across a wide range of sports and everyday wear

Complementing the expanded retail space are also new in-store experiences designed to make shopping more interactive and personalised. Customers can utilise Skechers’ SafeSize foot-scanning technology to receive personalised fit recommendations, while the DIY Customisation Corner allows shoppers to customise selected footwear and apparel with charms, shoelaces and heat-pressed graphics, offering a unique way to express their personal style.

STEPPING INSIDE THE NEW SPACE

To officially mark the opening, Skechers Regional Brand Ambassadors DK (@dk_is_dokyeom), SEUNGKWAN (@pledis_boos), and DINO (@feat.dino) joined Skechers’ senior leadership for the Opening Ceremony, which featured a photo opportunity with a giant Skechers AERO Burst shoe display. Inspired by the bold design of the AERO Burst performance running shoe — renowned for its responsive cushioning and smooth ride — the display anchored the moment as the trio celebrated the store’s official launch.

Following the ceremony, DK, SEUNGKWAN and DINO toured the newly expanded Sunway Pyramid store, exploring the refreshed retail concept and engaging with fans and guests onsite.

Malaysian LUNÉs experienced an unforgettable mid-week spectacle last Wednesday, August 19, 2026, as HYBE’s global powerhouse group &TEAM brought their highly anticipated “BLAZE THE WAY” Concert Tour to the Idea Live Arena in Kuala Lumpur. Marking their historic first-ever live performance in Malaysia, the nine-member multinational group—consisting of EJ, Fuma, K, Nicholas, Yuma, Jo, Harua, Taki, and Maki—delivered a high-impact, deeply immersive show that proved why they are elite stage performers.

What made the night even more impressive was the sheer professionalism of the members. Coming straight off a grueling 20-hour flight from Los Angeles to Malaysia, the boys battled intense jet lag. Yet, stepping onto the stage, they delivered a world-class, high-energy spectacle without missing a single beat, proving they are truly top-tier performers through and through.

From the moment the lights dimmed, the energy inside Idea Live Arena was electric. Malaysian LUNÉs brought a deafening level of passion to the venue, screaming and cheering so loudly that the &TEAM members themselves explicitly paused to acknowledge it, marveling on stage at how insanely loud the crowd was—and calling it one of the coolest things ever!

The boys completely won over the crowd by stepping up to introduce themselves in Malay. They even carved out a special interactive segment asking MYLUNÉs to teach them fun local phrases, proudly showing off bits of conversational Malay throughout the night.

In one of the cutest segments of the evening, the members interacted playfully with adorable local kuih plushies tossed onto the stage. Seeing the boys hold up plushies shaped like karipap, bahulu, durians, coconuts, and manggis while singing had the entire arena melting. The cultural exchange didn’t stop there, as the members also chatted with fans during the show about what local Malaysian delicacies they should try. Proving they always follow through, the boys treated fans to a post-concert live stream where they happily dug into piping hot nasi lemak and nasi goreng.

Above all, the connection between the group and the fans was undeniable. Even after the scheduled show wrapped up, MYLUNÉs refused to leave, chanting endlessly for more. The sheer dedication of the crowd prompted a massive four encore rounds, turning the night into an extended celebration.

As the final notes of Dropkick faded and the lights went up at Idea Live Arena, &TEAM’s first-ever night in Kuala Lumpur officially etched itself into memory as an absolute triumph. From conquering heavy jet lag with top-tier professionalism to sharing unforgettable laughs over local kuih plushies, Malay phrases, and post-concert nasi lemak, the boys and Malaysian LUNÉs created a bond that felt truly one-of-a-kind. With four incredible encore rounds echoing just how deeply the fandom wanted them to stay, this stop on the “BLAZE THE WAY” tour proved that it won’t be long before &TEAM returns to our shores.

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.

From the moment he opened the show with “Beat’s Knockin” and “eXtreme Love”, the atmosphere inside the venue erupted with excitement. 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.

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.
