Here's Why M'sian Fans Are Urging BIGBANG's Daesung To Change Concert Date
While the initial announcement sparked excitement, fans were soon disheartened after discovering the concert date. Here's why:
As reported earlier this week, Daesung's concert is scheduled for 7th June 2025 at the Arena Of Stars, Resorts World Genting. At first glance, a Saturday might seem ideal, but it also coincides with Hari Raya Haji. This has understandably prompted disappointment among Muslim fans.
Many took to Twitter to urge the idol and organisers to reconsider the date, requesting it be brought forward or pushed back so they can attend. Others voiced their frustration, not wanting to be forced to choose between attending the concert and celebrating a significant religious holiday.
Some also raised concerns about the concert's potential turnout, noting that many Muslim fans would likely be back in their hometowns for the holiday and unable to attend. There were also fans who criticised the choice of venue, suggesting that more accessible or suitable locations could have been found in Kuala Lumpur.
As it's still early, there remains a possible, albeit slim, chance for Daesung's team and the concert organisers to reconsider the date, especially in light of the overwhelming response from fans. This is not the first time fans have requested a change of venue or date for a Korean artist's concert.
Previously, many Malaysian fans had urged Indonesian fans to skip DAY6's KL concert due to the venue's limited capacity. The discussion quickly gained traction on Twitter, with many fans from the neighbouring country agreeing to give their Malaysian counterparts the opportunity to see their idols live.
Do you think Daesung and his team will change the concert date for the fans? We sure hope so.

SUPER JUNIOR Surprises Fans With Hilarious Grocery Store-Themed Merch
Merchandise has always been something fans look forward to. It's a way to feel connected to the worlds and artists they admire. Whether it's apparel, collectables, or themed accessories, these items help build a sense of community and shared identity. Because of that, brands and entertainment industries put real effort into creating products that are not only useful but also well-designed and visually appealing. SUPER JUNIOR (슈퍼주니어) has stayed true to that idea since their debut in 2005. From classic t-shirts and lightsticks to photocards and limited-edition items, they've consistently given fans something special to hold onto. Their merch has become more than just souvenirs—it's a lasting part of the group's bond with E.L.F.s around the world. On the 13th August (Wednesday), the group took to Twitter to unveil their latest merch concept—and fans definitely weren't expecting what came next. Swapping the usual polished K-pop aesthetic for a playful grocery store theme called 'SJ Market,' the group launched the collection through a dedicated Twitter account. To fully commit to the concept, the members even dressed in grocery store uniforms to match the vibe. The product line features standard K-pop goodies, but with a fun twist: everything is packaged to look like everyday convenience store items—such as cup noodles, milk cartons, bubble gum, and laundry detergent. Adding to the novelty are quirky extras like gloves, packaging tape, and towel sets, all wrapped in bright, eye-catching designs. It's a concept that stands out for its humour, creativity, and unmistakable SUPER JUNIOR flair. E.L.F.s were instantly charmed by the collection's playful aesthetic, with many describing it as 'cute' and 'unexpected.' The grocery store concept struck a perfect balance between humour and nostalgia, capturing the group's signature lighthearted spirit in a way that felt both familiar and fresh. What truly surprised fans, though, was the sheer scale of the release—over 30 different items to choose from. From quirky packaging to practical everyday items, the variety makes it feel more like a themed lifestyle line than just typical merch. Once again, SUPER JUNIOR has proven that when it comes to creativity and fan service, they know how to deliver most unforgettably. Source: Twitter Zaima Humaira contributed to this article

Mimi Lana Ready To Start A Family? Actress Asks Fans To Pray For Her To Have Twins
It's natural for fans to expect their favourite celebrities to start a family after marriage. However, it's more heartwarming when the stars themselves are more excited about having babies, like how actress Mimi Lana is. On 13th August 2025 (Wednesday), the Malaysian actress surprised fans when she posted on Threads, asking them to pray for her to be pregnant with twins. The post writes, 'Can I have everyone pray for me to have twin babies? People say that when many people pray for you, the prayer will be granted.' Needless to say, many of Mimi's fans began praying for the actress's wish to come true. Many also said they look forward to seeing Mimi start a family with husband, actor Syafiq Kyle, noting that their children would inherit their good looks. The 29-year-old then responded to the comments, thanking fans and netizens for the overwhelming support. She also expressed gratitude to those who shared tips to hopefully increase her chance of getting pregnant with twins. Some fans also quipped that the post may be a hint that the 'Mencari Ramlee' actress is currently pregnant. However, Mimi didn't confirm the speculation. Additionally, some of her replies on the Threads post seem to suggest that she's not yet expecting but is just planning for the future. While there has yet to be a Syafiq or Mimi Jr on the way, the star has mentioned that she's ready to become a mother. Mimi and Syafiq announced their engagement in 2023 after eight years together. However, they called off their initial wedding at the last minute. The pair then tied the knot earlier this year on Valentine's Day in a private ceremony, attended by family and close friends. In a May interview, Mimi said that she and Syafiq are ready to start a family, even quipping that her husband has thought about potential baby names. It appears that Mimi and Syafiq are excited to have children of their own. We wish the couple the best in building a family. May they be blessed with some good news soon. Source: Threads
