K-pop Boy Group WINNER To Embark On Asia Tour; Malaysia Show Set For November
From one K-pop concert announcement to another, fans are truly being spoiled with a steady stream of shows coming to Kuala Lumpur this year. It's certainly been a while since this boy group last performed in Malaysia, but the wait is finally over, as they're officially making their return to give fans a night to remember! Earlier today (Tuesday, 8th July), concert organiser CQ Entertainment announced on social media that K-pop boy group WINNER (위너) will be embarking on their 'OUR MOMENT' tour across Asia later this year — and it's now confirmed that Malaysia is one of the stops. Here's what we know so far: Back in May, YG Entertainment announced that WINNER would be holding a three-day concert this July at the Olympic Hall in Seoul, South Korea. This sparked speculation among fans that the group would soon embark on a world tour, and possibly make a comeback with new music, as it has been five years since their last album, 'Remember.' While there's no news of a new album just yet, what we do know is that the boys will be returning to Malaysia as part of their upcoming Asia tour, marking their first concert here since 2020. Although limited information has been released at the time of writing, here are the confirmed details so far: WINNER 'OUR MOMENT 2025 ASIA CONCERT' in KUALA LUMPUR Date: 1st November 2025 (Saturday) 1st November 2025 (Saturday) Venue: TBA TBA Organiser: CQ Entertainment Be sure to stay tuned for more updates, or follow CQ Entertainment on all their social media platforms for the latest information about the upcoming KL show in the coming days.

Veteran speed skater Lee Seung-hoon wins 1st world championships medal in 9 yrs
South Korean speed skater Lee Seung-hoon has claimed his first world championships medal in nine years at age 37. Lee captured the silver medal in the men's mass start at the International Skating Union World Speed Skating Single Distances Championships at Hamar Olympic Hall in Hamar, Norway, on Saturday, with a time of 7:56.52. Andrea Giovannini of Italy beat Lee by 0.05 second for the gold. Bart Swings of Belgium finished third in 7:56.69. This was Lee's first world championships medal since the mass start title at the 2016 competition in Kolomna, Russia. In Saturday's race, Lee stayed in the back of the pack early before moving to the front in the late stretches. He was overtaken by Giovannini over the final straight to take the silver medal. Lee is the most decorated South Korean speed skater in Olympic history, with six medals spread over four consecutive Winter Games from 2010 to 2022 -- including the gold medal in the 10,000 meters in 2010 and the mass start gold in 2018. Lee went through a dry spell after grabbing the mass start bronze medal at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics but has shown signs of life during the current 2024-2025 season. Lee helped South Korea to the men's team pursuit silver medal at the Asian Winter Games in China in February and then won the mass start title at an ISU World Cup stop in Poland later that month -- his first World Cup gold medal in a little over seven years. Lee will try to qualify for his fifth Winter Olympics, taking place next February in Italy. (Yonhap)
