(Video) LYKN's Lego Goes Viral With 'MWA!' Dance Challenge; Earns Praise From DOLLA's Angel
Fans and content creators have also joined the trend since the music video's release, sharing their dance covers on social media. However, one video in particular, posted by a member of a popular Thai boy group, has caught DOLLA's attention. Here's the full story:
Over the weekend, Thai singer Lego Rapeepong — or simply Lego (เลโก้) — a member of the boy group LYKN, posted a video of himself performing a dance cover of DOLLA's 'MWA!' on his TikTok channel. The artist appeared to be in a backstage restroom at the recent LOL Fanfest 2025 concert. Known for his talent as a performer and dancer, the idol executed the challenge flawlessly, looking androgynously stunning in his stage outfit.
The video has since gone viral, amassing over 2 million views on TikTok, and has even earned praise from a DOLLA member. '😍😍😍💋 THANK YOU NAAAA~~~,' commented Angel under the post. Much like the previous collaboration with Mimifly, fans of both LYKN and DOLLA flooded the comments section, urging Lego to collaborate with DOLLA on a song. Or at the very least, meet up to do the 'MWA!' challenge together.
This isn't the first time Lego has gone viral for his rendition of a popular track. The 19-year-old broke the internet last year with his cover performance of 'Dhoom Dhoom', originally by Thai artist Tata Young, which also serves as the theme song for the 2004 Hindi-language film 'Dhoom'.

#SHOWBIZ: Powerful movie tackling unwanted babies and unsung heroines
AWARD-winning director Chong Keat Aun is back with yet another hard-hitting story of Malaysians seeking social justice. This time, it is titled 'Pavane For An Infant', and for the uninitiated, a pavane is the music for a slow dance (think lullaby). Indeed, it is an apt choice for the Golden Horse-winning director's third feature film, a deeply human drama inspired by the less-known existence of the 24-hour baby hatches around the country. It also zooms in on creeping societal conservatism that is withering away Malaysian women's rights and justifies archaic interpretations of customs that govern their reproductive rights. Starring Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actress Fish Liew in her first Malaysian role, and Screen International Rising Star Award winner from Hong Kong Natalie Hsu, its strong ensemble cast also includes veteran Hong Kong actor Ben Yuen and Malaysians Pearlly Chua, Tan Mei Ling, Yuan Teng, Jasmine Suraya Chin, Dishaaleny Jack and Mia Sabrina Mahadir. At the recent screening of the movie in Dadi Cinema, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Chong said: "Set around a baby hatch centre somewhere in the Klang Valley, it follows the journeys of two women who cross paths as a result of the baby hatch and face the longstanding social stigmas which challenge the right of single mothers to use them." For the uninitiated, a baby hatch is a safe place where mothers can leave unwanted children. LOCKDOWN Chong, whose 2023 movie 'Snow in Midsummer' that touched on the May 13, 1969 race riots, said that the film had its origins in a series of interviews and baby hatch visits he made before and after the Covid-19 lockdowns. Chong said: "A friend of mine inspired the main character Lai Sum, played by Fish. She got pregnant, the father ran away and she sent the baby to a baby hatch. "After three months she regretted her decision and hoped to find her child but was not successful." Chong said that the idea also stemmed from a radio interview he had almost a decade ago but was never aired. "Last year, I decided to revisit this topic and develop it into a film." LIFE The film's executive producer Jment Lim of SunStrong Entertainment said that he approached Chong in 2021 to produce a film about "protecting life and standing up for women's reproductive rights". "I'm so happy that we've finally realised this film, and may it be the start of a journey to spread understanding of women's issues." NEWBORN 'Pavane For An Infant' begins with a young woman pounding on the door of the baby hatch centre where she had left her newborn. Inside, social worker Lai Sum (Fish) is working the night shift. It is the end of Ramadan and as the only non-Muslim social worker at the hatch, Lai Sum works a few extra shifts to give her colleagues Kam (Pearlly), Fatimah (Tan) and Nurul (Jasmine) some time off. VITRIOL One evening, while she is defending the centre from online vitriol about "encouraging babies born out of wedlock", she sees Siew Man (Natalie Hsu) hanging around outside on the CCTV and in distress. Lai Sum discovers that Siew Man is grappling with an unwanted pregnancy as the result of an assault and vows to help the teenager find a safe home and bring the perpetrator to justice. SENSITIVE The film addresses several sensitive social issues, among them gender issues, economic disparity and ideological discourse. Chong said: "The story comes from Malaysia, but the message we wanted to bring forward about baby hatches isn't just a Malaysian one." He noted that baby hatches had become prevalent in the West for years, and they are also aplenty in countries as diverse as Pakistan and the United States. TRAGIC Fish said that it was harrowing playing Lai Sum, especially because she had to deal with hundreds of sad and tragic stories of mothers who were forced to give their babies away, through no fault of their own. "After 13 years in Hong Kong films, I'm honoured to play a Malaysian character. The emotional shifts in pivotal scenes were challenging, but I loved it." Natalie, 21, said that playing Siew Man was an eye-opener for her, and it made her realise that women's issues are universal issues. "Siew Man has had a tough time, however she is actually quite strong. I didn't want to portray her as a victim but a complete person with joys, fears and hopes," she said, adding that working on a Malaysian production exposed her to the beauty and cultural diversity of the country, and made her appreciate shared values better. HOMEWORK Jasmine Suraya said that she did a lot of homework to prepare for an extraordinary role. "My character Nurul is a minor character, yet she is interesting and colourful as far as her life journey is concerned." Dishaaleny said that she was honoured to play a classical dancer who performed the lively peacock dance in one of the important scenes. "I've been dancing for a decade now, and while my character was a supporting one, I could easily empathise with her, as one of the tragic single mothers." Chong hopes that his movie will encourage Malaysians to take a stand against sexual violence. "I hope that this film will serve as a voice against it and empower both survivors of abuse and the women who save abandoned infants."

MIC Boss To Scammed Malaysian ‘National Geographic' Photographer: 'Don't Give Up, Bro!'
Subscribe to our FREE The young photographer who was fooled by a fake National Geographic letter has received some solid advice from MIC's big boss. MIC president Tan Sri S. A. Vigneswaran told the guy: 'When one door slams shut, 10 others swing open.' A few weeks ago, news sites were abuzz about how 32-year-old Tinesh Sritharan was supposedly selected for National Geographic's prestigious Explorer program in Kenya. The young photographer was so excited, he slid into Senator Dato Sivarraajh Chandran's Instagram DMs to share his good news. He presented his 'acceptance letter' and emails that looked legit enough to fool anyone. Impressed by his story, Sivarraajh took him to meet the MIC president. The boss was thrilled to meet an ambitious young Malaysian Indian and decided to back him with RM15,000 for his trip to Kenya. MIC Still Has His Back Then National Geographic dropped the bombshell: the letter was fake. 'Look, if the kid got conned, we feel bad for him,' said Sivarraajh, adding that nobody should have their dreams messed with by scammers. But MIC isn't throwing the photographer under the bus – 'The scam is in the letter, not the kid,' the former Cameron Highlands MP explained. The advice was simple: don't let this setback kill your dreams. You're already in Kenya, mate. Make the most of it and come home with photos that'll make everyone proud. According to Sivarraajh, the MIC leader has no problem with the photographer continuing his work in Kenya, fake letter or not. Photographer Calls Out the Scam Professional photographer Syahrin Abd Aziz was one of the first to suspect something was amiss with the entire National Geographic story. He pointed out major red flags: the guy had to fund his own 'assignment,' his animal photos were actually taken at Zoo Negara, and nobody in Malaysia's tight-knit photography scene had ever heard of him. 'Getting an assignment from National Geographic isn't easy – you need a powerful portfolio and extensive experience,' Syahrin explained. He emphasised that National Geographic rarely works with newcomers, preferring established photographers who are already household names in the field of photojournalism. The photographer noted that when National Geographic assigns real assignments, they provide a representative and cover the costs – they don't require you to pay your own way. In Malaysia's photography scene, we all know each other, so whatever we do, the community will find out. READ MORE : Parts of this story have been sourced from .
