(Video) From Joking Around To Practising Local Songs: What Happened Backstage At BTOB's KL Show
From the group that brought you 'Pray (I'll Be Your Man)' and 'Missing You', the aegyo was off the charts, all this while doing the serious prep work for putting on a show. Whether it was mic checks, playful banter about 'fried rice,' or last-minute Malay practice, how are they just as charming behind the curtains as on stage?
The video opens with the members greeting each other and preparing for rehearsal. Despite leader Eunkwang's (은광) ankle injury, he is seen energetically participating in the rehearsal while seated, unable to resist dancing from the waist up. Mic checks, warm-up banter, and playful moments. At one point, the group discovered the name of the concert's organiser, Fried Rice Entertainment, only to mistake it for a catering company.
In another memorable segment, the group practised part of the local classic 'Saya Anak Malaysia', expressing excitement to connect with their Malaysian fans in a more personal way. Hyunsik (현식) even went full multilingual, practising four languages—Korean, English, Chinese, and Malay—for the fan interaction moments.
Just before the concert, Eunkwang lamented missing his chance to snap a selfie in a beret outfit due to a quick costume change, prompting a mini photo mission backstage. The vlog also features snippets of the members getting ready in their custom-made T-shirts, optimising their cuteness for the acts later, and sharing thoughts on reconnecting with Melodys in Malaysia after a seven-year wait.
During the MELympic games, Peniel (프니엘) and Minhyuk (민혁) shine as they lead their teams during the fan-interactive portion of the concert, filled with competitive shooting games, ball-rolling races, and a lighthearted aegyo competition. The energy from Melodys in the crowd really lifted the group's spirits, making it the highlight of the video.
Toward the end, fans surprised BTOB with a touching tribute video and group sing-along, visibly moving the members. In return, BTOB expressed their gratitude and love, promising to return to Malaysia soon. Eunkwang commented, 'Seven years' worth of energy just exploded all at once,' which captures the emotional weight of the reunion.
As the video ended, the members shared their reflections. The boys expressed their love and commented, 'This was a nice chance to recharge from the fan love', before warping space and time by teleporting to their next stop—Hong Kong.

Malaysian Actor Ben Amir To Start Acting Career In The Philippines?
Earlier this year, Malaysian actor Ben Amir revealed that he had relocated to the Philippines to start a new life, setting up both his home and business on an island. He reassured fans that he is not retiring from acting and will continue appearing in films and dramas. However, the star is now considering broadening his horizons by pursuing an acting career in the Philippines. In a recent interview with Malaysian media, Ben shared that he has been learning and improving his Tagalog in the hope that it could open doors to acting opportunities in the country. He also revealed that he has been in touch with a local talent agency. 'I do plan on acting here. They've reviewed my profile, seemed interested, and want to meet up. Of course, I'd have to work on my Tagalog in order to work here. They said I could start with non-speaking roles, like doing advertisements. Once I've improved the language, then we'll go from there,' he told reporters. For now, Ben clarified that his main focus remains on his acting career in Malaysia. When asked about the challenges of learning Tagalog, the 35-year-old said it was not all that different from Malay. 'The intonation, spelling and meaning are more or less the same. I'm learning the language through conversations with the locals here on Siargao Island, rather than by formally taking classes,' he explained, adding that the culture is similar to Malaysia, so he had little to no difficulty adjusting to life there. In other news, Ben Amir recently attended the premiere screening of his latest film 'Legasi: Bomba The Movie' at GSC IOI City Mall, Putrajaya. The actor plays the lead role of Amir, a young firefighter, who must rise to prove his true strength by confronting past traumas and leading his team when the tallest skyscraper in the capital is engulfed in flames, threatening the lives of civilians and his fellow comrades. While we wait for Ben to make his acting debut in the Philippines, check out the trailer of his latest film below: Sources: Beautifulnara, HibGlam
