Taiwanese singer Lala Hsu to hold first-ever solo concert in Singapore this August
Taiwanese singer-songwriter Lala Hsu will be holding her first-ever solo concert in Singapore as part of her Sometimes, Less Is More concert tour on Aug 8.
The tour kicked off at Taipei Arena in November 2023 with two sold-out shows. This August, Hsu will bring the tour to Singapore for one night at The Star Theatre Singapore.
Best known for her crystal-clear voice, Hsu captivated listeners with her album Gei, which received eight nominations and clinched the Best Composer Award at the 34th Golden Melody Awards in 2023. To date, she has released six studio albums and three live concert albums, earning a distinguished reputation in the Mandopop industry.
Hsu regards the growth she has experienced in her music and personal life, as a true form of luxury, which inspired the birth of her tour.
Fans can look forward to rearranged versions of her songs in their original musical form at her concert - a signature style of Hsu, where she gives each of her track a new life.

Kunlavut Vitidsarn and Chen Yu Fei successfully took home titles at the 2025 Singapore Badminton Open
SINGAPORE: Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand and Chen Yu Fei of China took home victories at the end of the 2025 KFF Singapore Badminton Open at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Vitidsarn won his fourth title this year in front of 7,700 spectators, and Chen clinched his first title here in Singapore, one year after she placed second. Kunlavut Vitidsarn's reign The Thai athlete, who is on track to become the world's No. 1 men's singles player, has won his second BWF Super 750 title in 2025. Vitidsarn defeated Lu Guang Zu of China in 37 minutes, with a final scoreline of 21-6, 21-10. 'To play against a Chinese athlete, it's never easy. It's always tough, but I just tried my best to do whatever I could to win the match… It's a good thing that I'm now the world No. 1. Of course, there's always pressure. But it's a good kind of pressure. I've already said in the beginning that I want to win all tournaments, and that's what I'm focused on now,' Vitidsarn expressed. Vitidsarn demonstrated his dominance through his speed and strong defence, accompanied by impressive shots, which left his opponent frustrated during the match. Moreover, due to this achievement, he will become the first Thai male athlete to reach the number one spot. Indeed, he has cemented his name as one of the best players this year. Chen Yu Fei's redemption On the women's side, Chen Yu Fei played a dedicated game to beat her fellow Chinese athlete, Wang Zhi, with a final score line of 21-11, 21-11. She finally won the KFF Singapore Badminton Open after finishing second last year. The former world No. 1 had a great week so far, having a big win against the current top-ranked An Se Young in the quarterfinals. With her win, Chen declared: 'I'm really, really happy. The match schedule was tough, and every round was a challenge. I just tried to take it one game at a time and not stress too much. I felt more relaxed this time, and that helped me play better.'

After losing the first game, they had a comeback and won the next two matches to clinch the victory in 65 minutes, with a final scoreline of 15-21, 21-18, 21-18. This win is their third title of the year, alongside their victories at the Badminton Asia Championships and Thailand Open. In the women's double, South Korea's Kim Hye Jeong and Kong Hee Young also won their third title of the year. They defeated Rin Iwanaga and Kie Nakanishi of Japan with scores of 21-26, 21-14. The athletes also won earlier this year at the Orleans Masters and the Indonesia Masters. Furthermore, Thailand's Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Supissara Paewsampran finished strong and won the mixed doubles title after winning against Hong Kong's Tang Chun Man and Tse Ying Suet in straight games. The match's final scoreline is 21-16, 21-9. This was a memorable win for the pair as they lost to the same pair in the Thailand Open quarterfinals. Just like the previous pairs, this is also their third title of the year, following wins at the Malaysia Open and Thailand Masters. The 2025 KFF Singapore Badminton Open happened from May 21 to Jun 1, 2025, at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
