2NE1's Sandara Park, Lee Chong Wei & More: Local & International Stars Who Attended G-Dragon's KL Concert
Regardless, those who attended the concert spotted a few familiar faces in the audience, including both local and international celebrities. So, without further ado, let's take a look at who was in attendance at the icon's concert at Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur:
1. 2NE1's Sandara Park
Who would have thought that a member of 2NE1 would be spotted among the Malaysian crowd during G-Dragon's Kuala Lumpur concert? A video has been circulating online showing Sandara Park enjoying the show while waving her lightstick. For those who may not know, both BIGBANG and 2NE1 debuted under YG Entertainment, so it's not entirely surprising to see the idol showing support for her ex-labelmate.
2. Datuk Lee Chong Wei
One of the perks of retirement is getting to enjoy concerts by your favourite artists. Former national shuttler Datuk Wira Lee Chong Wei (李宗伟) was spotted making his way to his seat at the concert, where he was also seen greeting fans who recognised him. He later reposted an Instagram Story featuring one of the BIGBANG members' performances during the show.
3. Ms Kuan, Alex HKF, Danny Koo
Local influencers Ms Kuan and Alex HKF shared posts about their experience at the concert, with the latter offering some insights into what went down during the show on his Twitter page. Singer Danny Koo also attended the concert while testing out the new Samsung Galaxy Fold 7.
4. Hani Fadzil & Muna Bella
If it's anything K-pop related, there's a high chance these two will be there. Known for their love of all things K-pop and K-culture, local radio announcers Hani Fadzil (MIX) and Muna Bella (Era) were both spotted at G-Dragon's weekend concert, with the former even dressing up as the idol himself. Not only did they attend the show, but they also had the opportunity to interview him and film exclusive content for their respective radio stations, something fans can certainly look forward to once it's released.
5. Bosco Wong
Hong Kong actor Bosco Wong was reportedly spotted at G-Dragon's concert in KL as well. Fans recognised the star in what appeared to be the VIP section, despite him wearing a hat and face mask to keep a low profile. It was also rumoured that other Hong Kong artists, including Michael Tao, Joel Chan and Kelly Fu, were present at the Kuala Lumpur concert, although this has yet to be confirmed.
6. Jeannie Hsieh
Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jeannie Hsieh posted a video on Instagram that she indeed attended the G-Dragon concert in KL over the weekend. The 50-year-old filmed herself outside the venue before the doors opened while wearing the 'Übermensch' cap.

#SHOWBIZ: Aliff Aziz on Bella Astillah: I'm happy to see her move forward
SINGAPORE: Following his divorce from Bella Astillah, Singaporean singer and actor Aliff Aziz, 34, has expressed happiness for his ex-wife, seeing her move on with her life. In an interview with Singapore's Berita Minggu, Aliff reacted positively to the social media buzz surrounding Bella's relationship with Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, often linked to the hashtag #BASS. "If their happiness lies there, I am content and wish them both the very best," Aliff said, emphasising that his primary concern remains the well-being of his two children, Ayden Adrean, 8, and Ara Adreanna, 5. "Ayden and Ara are surrounded by people who love them, God willing. That's my first thought. "Whoever is around them, as long as they are loved and treated well... That's enough." As a father, Aliff said he feels no jealousy when he sees his children happy. Despite his contentment with their happiness, Aliff, the former champion of Gegar Vaganza Season 8 (GV8), admitted his deep longing for his children, having lost contact with them since 2024. He revealed that he hasn't had the opportunity to meet or communicate directly with them, finding it difficult to watch their video recordings without becoming tearful. Even from afar, Aliff follows his children's progress, especially around their birthdays — July 8 for Ayden and July 18 for Ara. "I miss them so much. My prayer every day is to be able to see them again and convey everything I hold in my heart," he said. "Daddy always remembers and prays for Ayden and Ara... I love you so much and I miss you." Aliff hopes fate will reunite them, allowing him to explain many things. On Feb 21, Aliff and Malaysian actress Ruhainies were fined RM3,000 by the Federal Territories Syariah High Court after pleading guilty to a khalwat charge. This followed reports in March 2024 of a married artiste and actress being caught in close proximity at a luxury condominium. Bella and Aliff, who married in 2016, divorced with a single talaq on June 13, 2024. Aliff openly admitted his guilt over not being present for important moments in his children's lives. He also worries about how society's mixed perceptions of him might affect them. Facing a dilemma, he often debates whether to remain silent to protect his family or take legal action, which could escalate tensions. His current focus, Aliff emphasised, is no longer on external matters or current sensations. Instead, he's dedicating his energy to his recovery process and getting back on his feet. He expressed appreciation for his mother's unwavering support, acknowledging the toll his issues have taken on his family. Determined to rise, he aims to become someone they can be proud of again. Aliff also touched on the pressure from media narratives and public perceptions, admitting there are times he feels compelled to speak up but refrains to protect his children and family. "Sometimes I want to tell you everything. But when I think about the impact on my children and family, I end up feeling completely in the wrong," he said.
