(Video) Michael Wong Successfully Concludes 2-Day Concert At Stadium Merdeka
Last Friday and Saturday (18th and 19th July 2025), Michael Wong held his 'Never Apart. Lonely Planet 3.0' concerts at Stadium Merdeka. The two-day show received a lot of attention from the start after the star announced that all tickets to the concert were uniformly priced at RM199. The generous move was to show Michael's gratitude to his fans for their love and support throughout his 30-year career in the music industry.
The two shows were a success, with a total of 40,000 tickets sold for both days. Fans were also satisfied with the performances, as Michael sang all his classic love songs for more than three hours each night. Most amusingly, during Day 2, fans wouldn't leave the stadium after the show ended and continued chanting 'encore' despite it being after midnight. While Michael was flustered that fans wouldn't leave the hall, he continued singing for another half an hour.
Michael also celebrated the success of his concert tour with a celebration banquet. During the event, he received a certification from the ASEAN Records for being the first artist to perform twice at Stadium Merdeka with full capacity and uniformly priced tickets. He also spoke candidly about how he fulfilled his promise to return to Malaysia and thanked the fans for their continued support.
Interestingly, the singer and his concert also received praise for a respectful gesture. On Twitter, journalist Norman Goh revealed that both concerts started at 9pm to respect the Maghrib and Isyak prayers. The crew also paused the music at the venue during the Azan. Many netizens praised Michael and the concert organiser for respecting religion during the show and for showing cultural sensitivity.
We congratulate Michael on the success of his concerts and his new ASEAN Record. We also share our kudos to him for respecting the prayer times. Check out some clips from his concerts below:

(Video) TVB True Crime Show Reignites Discussion About Bruce Lee's Sudden Death
It's been nearly 50 years since cinema and martial arts icon Bruce Lee (李小龙) passed away, leaving behind a legacy in film. However, his death is still shrouded in mystery, with the public still wondering why and how the legend died at such an early age. Earlier this week, Hong Kong broadcaster TVB premiered a new show titled 'Ctrl+F The Truth' that dives into several talked-about cases in the country's history. For its first case, the show discussed the mysterious death of Bruce Lee. The film icon died on 20th July 1973 at the young age of 32. There was no official cause of death, but it was concluded that Bruce Lee died from cerebral oedema. At the beginning of the episode, hosts Anthony Fong and Vinky Wong mentioned that there are many theories and suspicions about Bruce Lee's death. As part of their investigation, the program obtained court documents and testimonies about Bruce Lee's death from 14 people, including his wife Linda Lee and film producer Raymond Chow. Raymond was also the one who rushed the actor to the hospital, right before he was pronounced dead. After diving into the circumstances of Bruce Lee's death, the show summarised the sequence of Bruce Lee's death, revealing that he had already passed away while he was at the home of actress Betty Ting. The program also discussed the suspicion about how Raymond had concealed the actor's medical history when at the hospital. Months before his death, the star collapsed on set and had seizures, but this information wasn't disclosed to doctors. Renowned HK doctor Michael Mak, who was on duty at Queen Elizabeth Hospital during Bruce Lee's death, brought up three of his suspicions about the case. One of his suspicions was regarding Dr Eugene Chu, who tried to resuscitate Bruce Lee at Betty's home. He revealed that Dr Eugene had a lack of urgency about the actor's death, which was puzzling given the star's background and condition. While the show couldn't determine what exactly happened to Bruce Lee, it received praise for its detailed investigation and reporting. Meanwhile, fans continued to mourn the death of the icon and honour the impact he had in the film industry.

(Video) SEVENTEEN's Joshua, DK, & Dino Confirm Visit To Malaysia For Upcoming Mister Potato Event
Fans never tire of hearing exciting news about their favourite K-pop idols coming to Malaysia for concerts, fan meetings, or special appearances at brand events. We're only halfway through 2025, and the list of stars set to visit our shores is constantly being updated. Joining the list are three members of a popular boy group. Recently, Mister Potato Malaysia shared a photo featuring the silhouettes of three male idols, teasing K-pop fans with the news that they'll be making their way to Kuala Lumpur for a special appearance. Many made their guesses on who they could be, and it seems that the majority are correct! Last week, Mister Potato Malaysia announced their Jinjja Crunch collaboration with SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) members Joshua, DK, and Dino. The announcement video features the idols posing with three different flavours of the popular snack; Original, BBQ and Sour Cream & Onion. While an official statement regarding their visit to Malaysia has yet to be confirmed, the singers themselves appeared to spoil the surprise by posting a behind-the-scenes vlog of them filming promotional content for the brand. In the video posted yesterday (Tuesday, 22nd July), the members can be heard excitedly announcing that they'll be coming to Malaysia soon. 'We have 진짜 exciting news for you guys. We love you, Mister Potato! See you in Malaysia!' they said in the vlog. That particular moment quickly went viral among Malaysian fans, with many expressing their excitement about the visit. Some commented on how surprised they were to hear the news directly from the members before the brand had made an official announcement. Others are hoping that the upcoming event will be held at a larger venue, rather than a shopping centre, to accommodate not only meet-and-greet winners but also other fans who wish to see them in person. However, Joshua, DK, and Dino were not the first to spoil the surprise as MAMEE-Double Decker Group CEO, Mr. Pierre Pang, previously posted on his IG Story about the event when the brand first teased about the collab. At the time of writing, Mister Potato has yet to make the official announcement about the upcoming event with the 3 SEVENTEEN members. While we wait for more details, here's the behind-the-scenes vlog of the singers confirming their visit: The promo announcement video they filmed: Sources: Instagram, YouTube

Bosco Wong Denies Romance With Mystery Woman At G-DRAGON's KL Concert
The recent G-DRAGON (지드래곤) concert saw a star-studded audience, including Hong Kong actor Bosco Wong (黄宗泽). However, netizens are more curious about the mystery woman he was with during the night. Last weekend, Korean superstar G-DRAGON performed his two-day 'Ubermensch' show at Axiata Arena, attracting many famous faces to the concert hall in Bukit Jalil. One of the stars who went viral on social media for attending the show was Bosco Wong. However, after photos and videos of the actor at the concert emerged online, it prompted many questions about the mystery woman by his side. As shown in photos, Bosco attended the concert in a low-key manner, dressing casually in a white shirt, a bucket hat and a grey mask. The same grey mask was also seen on the woman next to him, sparking rumours that the two may be a couple and that the masks are 'couple items'. Additionally, concertgoers claimed the two seemed close and were chatting during the show, intensifying the rumours. However, in a recent interview with Hong Kong media, Bosco denied the dating rumours with the mystery woman. He also explained how he came to attend the concert in Malaysia, saying, 'I went to Malaysia to watch the concert with a large group of friends, and there were more than 10 of us watching the show together. I happened to know the organiser, so of course I had to come! The tickets were also very difficult to get.' As for the 'couple masks', Bosco clarified that it was merely a coincidence. He said, 'That box of masks was bought for us by my friend in Malaysia, so of course the masks would have the same style if they're from the same box.' Interestingly, the dating rumours emerged days after Bosco's viral statement from a recent talk show appearance, where he said he has no plans to get married. It's funny how romance speculations can arise just from wearing something similar. We're glad Bosco could clarify the issue before the rumours started spreading – but what are your thoughts on this?
