K-pop Group HIGHLIGHT Announces Asia Tour; Malaysia Show Set For September
Last week, rumours began circulating that K-pop boy group HIGHLIGHT (하이라이트), formerly known as BEAST (비스트), would be holding a concert in Malaysia later this year. Speculation arose after GME International teased fans with an image of a flower encased in a lightbulb, set against a backdrop of metal chains — a clear nod to the group's official lightstick and their latest track, 'Chains'. Well, it appears that fans' guesses were correct as it has now been confirmed that the idols will be making their way to our shores this September. Here's what we know so far: HIGHLIGHT first rose to fame as BEAST, debuting in 2009 under Cube Entertainment. In 2016, members Yoon Doo-joon, Yang Yo-seob, Lee Gi-kwang and Son Dong-woon ended their contracts with the agency and announced their departure. However, much to fans' delight, the group rebranded as HIGHLIGHT the following year after signing with Around Us Entertainment. Since their re-debut, HIGHLIGHT have released several hit tracks, including 'It's Still Beautiful', 'Take Care', 'BODY', 'Switch On', and their latest single, 'Chains'. Earlier today (Monday, 19th May), the quartet officially announced that they'll be embarking on their [RIDE OR DIE] tour across Asia, and Malaysia is confirmed as one of the stops. Here are the details revealed so far: HIGHLIGHT LIVE 2025 [RIDE OR DIE] in Malaysia Date: 27th September 2025 (Saturday) 27th September 2025 (Saturday) Venue: TBA TBA Organiser: GME International Other confirmed stops on the tour so far include Manila, Taipei, Tokyo, and Bangkok. It's also worth noting that additional dates may still be announced, meaning there's a chance the group could perform in other neighbouring countries such as Singapore or Indonesia. While we wait for more updates, how about we enjoy HIGHLIGHT's latest single 'Chains'? Source: Instagram

K-pop Group HIGHLIGHT To Hold Concert In Malaysia Later This Year?
Concert announcements, especially those involving K-pop artists, are always exciting, but teasing fans about who might be coming next can have everyone on the edge of their seats, eagerly guessing. Several brands have teased fans with hints about special guests making, or having already made, surprise appearances in Kuala Lumpur. Now, it seems another K-pop group is set to make its way to our shores very soon. GME International, known for organising various events and concerts featuring international artists, recently hinted at another exciting announcement. In a post on their Instagram Story, the company suggested they may be bringing a popular K-pop boy group to perform in concert later this year. Here's what we know so far: Earlier today (Wednesday, 14th May), GME International shared an Instagram Story teasing fans about the next artist set to perform in Malaysia. The image featured a flower encased in a lightbulb, with metal chains in the background, with the words 'Who's Next?' displayed at the top. Fans were invited to submit their guesses via the 'Stay Tuned' sticker. The Instagram Story has since gone viral on Twitter, with K-pop fans expressing their excitement over a potential concert announcement. While nothing has been officially confirmed, many fans speculate that the upcoming K-pop act could be HIGHLIGHT (하이라이트),also known as BEAST (비스트). This theory stems from two key details in the teaser image: the boy group's official lightstick is shaped like a lightbulb, and their latest song is titled 'Chains'. As seen in the screenshots above, many fans are convinced that the mystery act is HIGHLIGHT, based on the clues provided. Others have urged the concert organiser to make an official announcement soon, eager to start saving for tickets. If the rumours turn out to be true, this would mark the group's third visit to Malaysia, their first being in 2011, and the last in 2013, when they were still active as BEAST. This would also be their first performance in the country as HIGHLIGHT and since parting ways with Cube Entertainment. Sources: Instagram, Twitter
