(Photos) Korean Band Dragon Pony Shares Snapshots From Recent Visit To Malaysia
In recent years, we've seen plenty of K-pop idols sharing vlogs or photos of themselves wandering around Kuala Lumpur and sampling local delicacies. Joining the list of Korean stars doing just that is rock band Dragon Pony (드래곤포니), who recently shared what they got up to during their visit to the capital.
In case you missed it, Dragon Pony recently performed in Malaysia as part of the artist line-up for the KBS 2025 ROUND Festival, which took place at Zepp Kuala Lumpur from 21st (Saturday) to 22nd (Sunday) June 2025. The band took to the stage on Day 2 of the event, performing on the same day as Korean singer Paul Kim, who delighted fans with a cover of Anuar Zain's 'Sedetik Lebih'.
Over the long weekend, the four-member group shared a video on their Instagram page, showing their excited reaction to receiving what appeared to be a disposable film camera. The clip then cuts to a slideshow of snapshots capturing their time together in Kuala Lumpur. As seen in the photos above, apart from the ROUND Festival itself, some of the shots capture their visit to the Petronas Twin Towers and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur in Bukit Bintang. The band also appeared to enjoy a pizza meal in the city, although the restaurant remains unidentified.
Shortly after posting the video and photos on social media, Malaysian fans were thrilled to see Dragon Pony enjoying their time in Kuala Lumpur. Many expressed hopes that the band would return to Malaysia for a solo concert in the future, while others were happy that our country is featured in their social content. Some were wondering if any fans saw or approached the members while they were exploring the city.
Dragon Pony have also been uploading vlogs on YouTube from the countries they've performed in recently, so here's hoping they'll share one from their time here in our beloved Malaysia. Were you there to catch the band's set at the ROUND Festival last month?

The couple recently celebrated their birthdays together, marking the special occasion with television host Spencer Leung and other close friends. 'Wishing Mr and Mrs Au-yeung everlasting happiness, sweetness and good health. I finally got to celebrate with you two lovebirds. 'It's hard to believe we've been close friends for 30 years already. Thank you both for all your love and care. I love you guys,' Leung, 58, wrote on Instagram on Aug 17. He shared six photos from the celebration – including one capturing Au-yeung, who turned 65 on July 28, and Fu posing in front of their cakes while holding a bouquet of pink flowers.

Seoul named favourite city by Gen Z, millennial travellers worldwide
A night view of Seoul. - Photo: Seoul Metropolitan Government SEOUL: South Korea's capital city Seoul which has recently gained further global attention from the success of Netflix's 'KPop Demon Hunters,' was named the world's most beloved city by travellers aged 25 to 40 for the fourth consecutive year, according to results from the 2025 Trazees. The Seoul Metropolitan Government and Seoul Tourism Organisation announced Wednesday (Aug 20) that Seoul won the award for favorite worldwide city, as determined through the votes of readers of the US-based travel media outlet, Trazee Travel. Dublin came in second, followed by Hong Kong and London. The Trazees travel awards, now in their 11th year, were hosted by FXExpress Publications, the parent company of the travel magazine, the Global Traveller. This year, 804,482 voters participated. Seoul's repeated recognition is a reflection of the city's growing global appeal, driven by the worldwide spread of Korean culture, as well as the city's mix of traditional and modern attractions, its digital-based, smart tourism infrastructure and its reputation as a leading destination for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions, according to Seoul officials. After receiving the award, the city emphasised its plans to continue developing tourism content that resonates with younger generations, expanding its marketing efforts to highlight Seoul's charms, but also providing 'stylish and immersive travel experiences that Generation Z and millennial visitors look for' when travelling. In February, Seoul was ranked as the best city for solo travel by Tripadvisor. It was also recognised as the best city for meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions by Global Traveller for a 10th consecutive year in December. According to the Union of International Associations in July, Seoul ranked first in Asia and third worldwide among 1,034 cities for its performance in hosting international conferences. 'With its blend of tourism, business, culture and the arts, Seoul will continue working to be a city that people around the world would grow to love,' said Seoul Tourism Organisation CEO Kil Ki-yon. - The Korea Herald/ANN

Jack Neo's new music video features AI-generated image of Lee Kuan Yew
The AI-generated image of Lee Kuan Yew appeared in the final scene of Jack Neo's music video for the song, 'We Are Singapore'. Photos: Jack Neo/Instagram Singaporean filmmaker Jack Neo has created a new music video in conjunction with the month of National Day, using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to recreate images such as the appearance of Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew and his voice. Neo, 65, posted the music video for the song, We Are Singapore , on social media on Aug 18. Referring to Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's National Day Rally speech on Aug 17, Neo wrote in Chinese: 'The speech by PM Wong yesterday once again reminded us of the importance of unity among Singaporeans. With this in mind, I would like to share with you a belated SG60 song. Although it was not released on National Day, August remains the month of National Day. It's not too late to express this gesture.' Neo said in an interview with Chinese-language evening daily Shin Min Daily News that it took him about a month to complete the entire song. 'I wrote the lyrics myself, taking two to three weeks to conceptualise them. The arrangement, composition and vocals were generated by AI,' he added. 'The biggest challenge was that AI generated many versions of the song – each of which sounded great – so I had to choose the one I was most satisfied with. I chose this version because it resonated with a more Singaporean feel.' In an interview, Jack Neo says that he would continue to use AI to create songs as well as incorporate AI technology into film production. The AI-generated image of the late Lee appeared in the final scene of the music video. Neo used AI to recreate the iconic voice of Lee, who said: 'I wish Singapore a happy 60th birthday. Happy birthday.' Neo said he believed many people would not forget the contributions made by Lee to Singapore. 'Singapore is now celebrating SG60 with happiness, and I always feel that the nation's prosperity, progress and global standing are inseparably linked to his tireless efforts back then,' he said. 'Using AI to have him join us in the celebration feels very meaningful to me.' Neo also incorporated AI-generated images of historical footage, faces of artistes such as himself, Terence Cao, Collin Chee and Dawn Yeoh, as well as Singapore's Cabinet ministers in the video. 'Actually, what I hoped for was to use AI to generate a version where several Singaporean singers who are well-known internationally, including Stefanie Sun, JJ Lin, A-do, Kit Chan and Tanya Chua, singing this song together,' Neo said. 'I think that would be very interesting, more perfect and and more meaningful.' The filmmaker said he had tried using AI to generate images of these singers and the results were quite good. However, he decided not to use them as he has not sought permission from the singers and due to the tight production schedule. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jack Neo Ck (@jackneock) Neo's music video received different reactions on social media. Some netizens praised him for his innovation and courage in using AI for the video, while other netizens questioned if it was disrespectful to use Lee's AI-generated image. Neo told Shin Min that he would continue to use AI to create songs as well as incorporate AI technology into film production. He had done so for his most recent movie I Want To Be Boss, which opened in Singapore cinemas in January. He believes that AI will assist humans in many areas in the future, but humans will still be in control. 'Many people are afraid of AI, but I don't think there is a need (to fear it). AI won't replace humans. The only ones who will be replaced are those who don't know how to use it.' – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
