(Photos) Korean Band Dragon Pony Shares Snapshots From Recent Visit To Malaysia
Whether it's a solo concert or a music festival, there's nothing quite like seeing your favourite artist perform live on stage in your home country. What's even more exciting is when they take the time to explore the local culture and visit popular tourist spots around the city they're performing in. 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? Watch the video below: Sources: Instagram, Twitter What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0

From Sabah to New York: Marsha Milan lights up Times Square billboard as Spotify EQUAL ambassador
KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 — Marsha Milan is entering a new chapter in her career — one that extends far beyond Malaysia's borders. Fresh off her win at AJL 39, the celebrated singer has achieved another major milestone: appearing on a digital billboard in New York's Times Square last Friday. The appearance marks her debut as Spotify's EQUAL Asia ambassador for April 2025, a role that places her among a global roster of female artists recognised for their talent, voice, and impact in music. Her songs 'Hening Rindu' and 'Tangisan Seorang Pendosa' are now featured on the EQUAL Singapore & Malaysia playlist, where she takes centre stage. The EQUAL initiative is part of Spotify's commitment to champion gender equity in the music industry by spotlighting outstanding female artists from around the world. Overwhelmed by the honour, Marsha described the experience as surreal. 'Over the moon! It's my first time, and I'm so grateful,' she said in a statement today. 'I used to think opportunities like this were just dreams, but Alhamdulillah, it's become a reality. I've always hoped to be on a billboard — and now, a girl from a small town in Sabah is up in Times Square.' Despite the international recognition, Marsha remains grounded. 'I don't have a specific formula to be selected again, but I believe good music will always be appreciated,' she said. 'I hope this achievement inspires more local composers to continue creating high-quality songs.' With nearly 20 years in the industry, Marsha credits her longevity to sincerity, discipline, and a constant desire to improve. 'The industry is always evolving, and we have to evolve too — without losing our identity. 'Maintaining a strong connection with your team and your supporters is so important. 'There will always be highs and lows, but if your intentions are sincere, opportunities will come,' she said. Adding to the list of achievements, Marsha has also been chosen by KBS World Korea to perform at the upcoming ROUND Festival (Asean-Korea Music Festival). The event, supported by the Asean-Korea Cooperation Fund, will take place at Zepp KL on June 21 and 22. Sharing the stage with top acts from across the region, Marsha will represent Malaysia in this cross-cultural celebration of Asean music and talent.
