#SHOWBIZ: S. Korean singers Tabber, Rad Museum, Miso to serenade KL in October

KUALA LUMPUR: The Korean alternative R&B label you.will.knovv is set to embark on its first-ever Asian tour, including a stop in Malaysia, featuring three of its talented artistes.
In a press statement released today, 'you.will.knovv in Malaysia 2025' will showcase South Korean singers Tabber, Rad Museum, and Miso.
Organised by TopGallant Show, the concert is scheduled for Oct 4 at Zepp Kuala Lumpur.
Founded by fellow artiste DEAN in 2017, you.will.knovv is celebrated for its boundary-pushing sound and atmospheric style.
This inaugural tour marks a significant new chapter for the label, bringing its distinctive musical world directly to fans across Asia.
The three artistes are poised to deliver a live experience that truly captures the emotional depth and immersive artistry that defines their music.
Tabber will be making a highly anticipated return to Malaysia.
Known for his gruff voice and his versatility in shifting between rap and vocals, he first gained attention with his "Deep End Mix Tape" in 2020.
He has since collaborated with notable artistes such as ROMderful, Punchnello, Apro, Keyon Christ, Syd, Paul Blanco, and Yerin Baek.
After participating in Season 10 of "Show Me The Money", Tabber released his album "Madness Always Turns to Sadness" in 2023.
Rad Museum is also making a long-awaited return to Malaysia.
He burst onto the scene with his debut EP, "Scene", in 2017, which earned him nominations for Best New Artiste and Best R&B/Soul Album at the 2018 Korean Music Awards (KMA).
His recent solo albums include "RAD" (2022), which won R&B Album of the Year at the 2023 Korean Hiphop Awards, "GIRL" (2023), and "HOME SICK" (2024).
Meanwhile, Miso made headlines as the first Korean artiste to participate in the renowned Red Bull Music Academy.
Her unique tone and genre-bending musical style quickly established her as an artiste with fascinating energy and timeless taste.
Known for tracks like "Take Me", "Let It Go", and "Alone", she has also featured on songs with artistes such as Epik High, Crush, and PREP. This will mark her debut appearance in Malaysia.

Ji Seung-hyun looks forward to trying satay & laksa on his first visit to M'sia

He is in town as one of the presenters at the 8th Malaysia International Film Festival's awards ceremony. Photo:Ji Seung-hyun/Instagram Korean actor Ji Seung-hyun, who recently starred in the hit series Good Partner opposite Jang Na-ra, is in Malaysia for the 8th Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest). He will be one of the presenters at the festival's awards ceremony tonight (July 26), co-presenting an award with Malaysian actress Lin Min Chen. During a press meet today at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur, the 43-year-old shared that he had just arrived in the early hours of the morning and hadn't had much sleep. 'I only got to my hotel around 4am. It's my first time here, so honestly, I don't even know exactly where I am yet,' he said with a smile. Still, he expressed excitement about exploring the city and sampling local cuisine during his visit. 'I've tried satay and nasi goreng in Indonesia before, but not in Malaysia,' he said, wondering if the taste is similar here. 'I'd love to try laksa too. I really enjoy trying local food whenever I travel, so I'm definitely looking forward to that.' Aside from presenting at the awards, The Worst of Evil star is also in town to speak about his next project, Bluefish , produced by Malaysian film producer Joanne Goh, the founder of MIFFest. The Pan-Asian collaboration, directed by Lee Sang-hoon and starring Ji in the lead role, is scheduled to begin filming in September. Ji recalled meeting Goh at another regional film festival. 'I was at the Tarang Asian Film Festival to introduce my new film, My Friend Is A Murderer. That's where I met Joanne. She's also the investor and distributor for my next project, and it was actually our first time meeting in person. 'She suggested I come to MIFFest – so this trip came together quite suddenly.' Although he hasn't had the chance to watch any of the festival's films yet, Ji believes collaborations between countries are incredibly meaningful. 'I'd love to return next year for MIFFest.' He also expressed hope to work on a Malaysian production in the future. 'Actually… how about a love story between Malaysia and Korea? That way, I can be in it too,' he said.

Interview: BALLISTIK BOYZ From EXILE TRIBE On Their New EP, Summer Faves & First Asia Tour

Earlier this year, J-pop sensations BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE marked the start of a new chapter in their career with the release of their first best album. Continuing the momentum, the 7-member group is set to drop their upcoming EP, 'Stardust Forever', and perform their first Asian tour. We recently had the opportunity to chat with the member of BALLISTIK BOYZ – RYUTA, RIKIYA, YOSHIYUKI, MASAHIRO, RIKI, RYUSEI AND MIKU – to hear what they have to say about their new EP, upcoming plans and their new tour. Keep scrolling to read more: Q. It's been a while since Hype Malaysia spoke to BALLISTIK BOYZ. How have you guys been since your last visit to Malaysia? RYUTA: In Japan, we've held a concert at Nippon Budokan and even had our first arena live show. And this year, we'll do our very first Asia tour as well. We've been steadily making our dreams and goals come true! RIKIYA: Even now, our desire to perform live in Malaysia hasn't changed — we're steadily taking steps forward to make it happen! Making that a reality is our current goal, so we want to first make our solo concerts and arena shows a big success, and hopefully build a path toward that in the future! Q. Before we get into the interview, let's do some warm-up questions: since we're in the peak of Summer, can you recommend a song that people can add to their Summer playlist? YOSHIYUKI: Recently, I went to a dome concert featuring music by Joe Hisaishi, who composed for Studio Ghibli. Listening to the music from various Ghibli films brought back childhood memories and filled me with excitement. Among them, 'My Neighbor Totoro' is a film I've watched countless times since I was a kid. The song 'Neko Bus' especially brings back that thrilling feeling of summer as a child! RIKI: I love ocean views — especially sunsets — and the song 'Shave ice', which is included as a B-side on this single, is my top recommendation for the summer! I especially want people to listen to it at the beach. One of the things I'm really looking forward to this summer is listening to 'Shave ice' by the sea myself. Q. What's your favourite Summer activity? Or is there something you've always wanted to do during this season? MIKU: Golf! I love playing golf in the mountains surrounded by nature, especially when the weather is perfect. MASAHIRO: Every year, I enjoy going to the beach — surfing, swimming, and having drinks at beach huts! We also have a BBQ every year, so I hope we can do that again this year. Actually, we're planning a trip with all the members this summer, and I really hope it happens! Q. Let's talk about your recent release, 'Stardust Forever'. The track is heavily influenced by emo, pop punk and skater culture, with lyrics reflecting youthful defiance. What would you say is the message being conveyed through this song? RYUSEI: It's the same for us, but I think everyone has moments where they wonder whether something is possible or impossible while chasing their dreams. But life, while it feels short, is actually long — and I believe that everyone has a chance to make their dreams come true. That's why I think this song is one that can give a push to all those who are working hard toward their goals. Q. The music video also featured a lot of skateboarding scenes and scenes at a skatepark. Do you have any fun or interesting stories from the filming? MASAHIRO: Honestly, having a skater riding right behind me while I was singing was pretty scary. I was worried they might crash into me, lol. I used to skateboard a bit myself, so during breaks in the shoot, I practised tricks with the skaters! Q. The song is written and produced by vividboooy and R.I.K. Was this your first time working with them? What was the experience like? RIKI: We had already been in touch even before this collaboration, and I've always really liked the music they create. So we didn't particularly focus on anything specific during production — we just wanted to add elements and a perspective that BBZ doesn't usually have, and that's the only intention we conveyed when we started the process. Because of that, there weren't many changes needed, and everyone was on the same page, which allowed things to move forward smoothly. Q. 'Stardust Forever' is also part of your upcoming EP of the same title. Can you share more about this album? MIKU: This marks the beginning of our second chapter, and it's a work where you can feel a new side of us through a different musical style than before. RIKIYA: This time, it's packed with a sound that reflects a cooler and more refined musical direction for us. We've also taken our branding to the next level — from our visuals to the music itself, everything has evolved. I think fans will find it refreshing and new! Q. Do you have a favourite track from the album? What song is it and why? RYUSEI: My favourite is 'ALL OF YOU'! The main reason is the coolness of the sound, and although the choreography is already complete, I personally think it's the best one we've ever had! YOSHIYUKI: 'Stardust Forever'. It's a refreshing, band-style song unlike anything we've done before, and the straightforward lyrics are beautiful. I really want people who are chasing their dreams or working hard toward something to listen to this song! Q. After the album's digital release, BALLISTIK BOYZ will embark on the 'IMPACT' ~ASIA~ tour. You've already announced two stops in Asia: Bangkok and Taiwan, and you will announce more stops soon. Can we expect a show in Kuala Lumpur? RYUTA: As a group, we definitely want to perform live in Kuala Lumpur in the future. There are various factors like timing and scheduling, but it's something we absolutely want to make happen. So I hope everyone will look forward to it and wait with excitement! Q. What are you guys planning to showcase during the tour? RYUTA: This tour will feature the new songs from our upcoming EP, so while we want you to experience a new 'colour' of us, we also hope you'll look forward to performances where our singing, rapping, and dancing have all evolved even further! RYUSEI: As I mentioned earlier, this year's theme is 'Impact,' so no matter which tour stop you come to, I believe you'll witness something new and impactful! We're confident that we can deliver entertainment that will truly leave a mark on your heart, so please come and see us! Q. Besides the tour, what can fans expect from BALLISTIK BOYZ for the rest of 2025? YOSHIYUKI: Our Asia tour will kick off at the end of July, and we also have another arena concert scheduled for November! We'll keep doing our best to share this new 'second chapter' of ours with as many people as possible. We're also discussing ways to visit all of you overseas, so it would make us happy if you waited for us! RIKIYA: Besides that, we'll be making our much-anticipated arena live show a reality, and I think this year will be an even more crucial one for us. We're also filming our own variety show and taking on the challenge of performing as a band, so I hope you'll watch us as we give it our all! Q. Do you guys have any solo plans for the future? Or maybe any solo activity that you can share? MASAHIRO: Since last year, I've been getting more acting opportunities and have appeared in various projects! There's also a project currently in production, so I hope you'll look forward to its release! Q. Lastly, can you share a few words for your Malaysian BALLYs? MIKU: Thank you always for your support! We don't get many chances to meet in person, but I'm doing my best so we can come see you as soon as possible — so please wait for us! RIKI: To all our fans in Malaysia — how are you doing?? I'm filled with the desire to return to Malaysia and see you all, even just one day sooner‼ Right now, we're creating new projects and expanding our activities, so please look forward to the day we return — showing you a more evolved version of ourselves!! I hope you like our latest single 'Stardust Forever' too!! We love you all so much!!
