KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — Get ready for a night of spiritual healing as legendary Nasyid group Rabbani will be holding a mega concert really soon. Set to take place this September 20 at the Idea Live Arena in Petaling Jaya, the Konsert Intifada Rabbani will also mark the group's 28th anniversary since their inception back in March 1997. Rabbani initially consisted of eight members including the late Mohd Asri Ibrahim, Azadan Abdul Aziz, Asri Ubaidullah, Zulkiflee Azman, Luqman Abdul Aziz, Muhammad Rithauddeen, Mohamad Afandi Shahbudin and Ahmad Shafie. However, since the passing of lead vocalist Mohd Asri Ibrahim back in 2009, the group has been performing with the remaining seven members. Aside from Rabbani themselves, the two-hour concert will also feature three more local Nasyid groups including Brothers, Yabang as well as Aeydan who will be joining in as guest performers. As previously reported by Sinar Harian, Aeydan actually consists of the sons of Rabbani members including its main vocalist Muhammad Ilham Fikri who is the fourth child of the late Mohd Asri. Meanwhile Brothers is another popular 90's Nasyid group whose members includes Syah Rizal Mohamed, Abdullah Faiz Mohamad, the late Mohd Salleh Mohamed Deril as well as convicted singer Yasin Sulaiman.

Fans can also expect to sing-along to some of their timeless hits such as Intifada, Pergi Tak Kembali and Satu Qiblat Yang Sama. The Konsert Intifada Rabbani is organised by Universe Gateway, the team behind The Journey of Sound by Judika and Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza concert last December 14. Tickets for the Rabbani concert will go on sale starting this July 31 (Thursday) via or with ticketing price ranging between RM150 to RM258. Aside from Rabbani, another popular Nasyid group InTeam will also be serenading fans at the Idea Live Arena this September 28.

(Video) The Reason Why 'K-pop Demon Hunters' Star Arden Cho Was In Malaysia Recently

Even a month after its release, 'K-pop Demon Hunters' remains Netflix's most-streamed animated film on the platform. On top of that, the soundtrack made history by outperforming actual K-pop idols, including BTS and BLACKPINK, on several US music charts. The voice cast and singing voices behind the characters have also been actively promoting the film, making special appearances, giving interviews, sharing behind-the-scenes insights, and even collaborating with fellow idols and content creators. However, no one quite expected Arden Cho (아덴 조), the film's lead star, to be in Malaysia recently, and it turns out her visit wasn't necessarily to promote 'K-pop Demon Hunters'. Here's why she was here: Over the weekend, Korean-American actress Arden Cho revealed on Instagram that she had recently attended an event in Kuala Lumpur. The voice of Rumi, the main character in 'K-pop Demon Hunters', was apparently invited as a special guest to the inaugural Malaysia Bridal Fashion Week. As seen in the photos she shared, the actress wore a stunning, sparkly, feathered white gown by luxury brand The Gown Atelier, completed with jewellery from Tiffany & Co. According to Malay Mail, she recently got engaged to her unnamed fiancé, so the timing of her appearance at the fashion event seemed perfect, offering her a preview of some exquisitely crafted wedding dresses to consider for her big day. The 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' live-action star also posted a video showcasing a sneak peek of what went down on the day she attended the show. Shortly after posting on social media, Malaysian fans were both thrilled and surprised by Arden Cho's unannounced visit to Kuala Lumpur. Many praised how stunning she looked at the event, while others expressed their hope that she enjoyed her stay in the country. In other news, Arden Cho also teamed up with singer-actor Cha Eun-woo (차은우) for a special cover of 'Free', a duet between Rumi and Jinu from 'K-pop Demon Hunters'. The collab instantly went viral, especially since the ASTRO member was one of the character design inspirations for Jinu.

Malaysian Jazzy Pictures teams up with Korean studio for disability-themed film ‘Bluefish'

KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — Malaysian production house Jazzy Pictures is collaborating with South Korea's Oh' Yes Co., Ltd and Indonesia's Timeless Productions to co-produce an upcoming South Korean film titled Bluefish. The film will be directed by acclaimed Korean filmmaker Lee Sang-hoon and produced by Joanne Goh, founder of Jazzy Pictures and the Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest). Bluefish will star Ji Seung-hyun, known for his role as Gim Ji-sang in the 2024 Korean legal drama Good Partner, alongside Cecilia Choi, a familiar name in Hong Kong cinema with credits including Beyond the Dream (2019). Jazzy Pictures' involvement in the project is part of its ongoing mission to work with international production houses and bring bold stories to audiences. The film also marks a dream collaboration between South Korea and Hong Kong, highlighting the power of cross-border Asian storytelling. The story of Bluefish Bluefish follows Gwang-su (Ji Seung-hyun), a troubled drifter with a violent past whose life changes when he meets Yeon-jeon (Cecilia Choi), a mute girl who delivers milk. Instead of fearing him, she offers quiet kindness — something he has never known. Her compassion prompts Gwang-su to question himself. Over time, his anger turns into guilt, then tenderness. But just as he begins to change, a misunderstanding separates them. When he learns that Yeon-jeon is in danger, he must decide whether to return to his old ways or protect the one person who gave him hope. What unfolds is a moving story about redemption, sacrifice, and the quiet strength of kindness in a harsh world. Ji Seung-hyun will play the character Gwang-su, a troubled drifter with a violent past. — Picture by Choo Choy May. The inspiration behind Bluefish Director Lee shared that the inspiration behind Bluefish stemmed from a long-standing interest in how society views and treats people with disabilities. He observed that they are often met with 'quiet pity' or discomfort, which only deepens their isolation rather than fostering inclusion. With this film, Lee hopes to challenge those perceptions — not by portraying disability as something extraordinary or tragic, but as a natural part of everyday life, a reality that extends across the world, including in Malaysia. 'People with disabilities are not so different from the rest of us. 'Their lives, struggles, and emotions are just as rich, complex, and human,' he added. Lead actor Ji said: 'I'm truly happy to take on this role, and I'm very much looking forward to the filming process and working together with Cecilia Choi. 'More than that, we hope the film gives hope, light, and courage to people with disabilities, to show them they, too, can live independently and meaningfully, just like anyone else.' Looking ahead Jazzy Pictures is a Malaysian film production and distribution company known for championing Asian cinema, with works including the acclaimed Crossroads: One Two Jaga, starring local actor Zahiril Adzim. Bluefish marks Jazzy Pictures' first collaboration with a South Korean production team, and there are plans to showcase the film at multiple festivals across the region. 'Bluefish is more than just a film; it's a visceral portrait of broken people seeking light in unexpected places. 'We're excited to bring this powerful story to life and share it with audiences across Asia,' said Goh. The film is currently in pre-production and is scheduled to begin filming this October in Busan and Yeongdeok, with a planned release in the second quarter of 2026.
