Haidilao Teases Possible Collab With C-pop Group WayV; Will They Be Coming To Malaysia?
Haidilao Malaysia recently announced a collaboration with GOT7 member Jackson Wang in support of his new album, 'MAGIC MAN 2'. The partnership features rotating merchandise, from collectable photocards to plush pillows, offered as part of a special set meal curated by the superstar himself. However, it seems the popular hotpot chain has no plans to slow down, as they are now preparing for an upcoming collaboration with a C-pop idol group, which also happens to be a sub-unit of K-pop boyband NCT. Here's what we know so far about the partnership: On Tuesday (22nd July), the brand shared a teaser featuring the silhouettes of a five-member boy group. 'A major collaboration is about to be revealed! 🔥 With a blazing rhythm, a special encounter is heading your way 🎼 Get ready to share a vibrant summer with them — only at Haidilao! ✨,' the company wrote on social media. As expected, fans flocked to the comments section to submit their guesses on who the mystery artists might be. The majority, however, had one group in mind: WayV (威神V/웨이션브이). As with previous instances, this speculation arose after fans recognised the members' silhouettes, which matched a pose from one of the group's promotional photos for their single 'BIG BANDS'. So, does this mean the idols will be coming to Malaysia soon? Fans have expressed their excitement, with many hoping that WayV might make a special appearance. However, while the anticipation is high, there has been no official indication that the group will be visiting Malaysia for an event. It remains unclear whether this collaboration will follow the same format as Haidilao's current partnership with Jackson Wang. Still, that hasn't stopped fans from urging the hotpot brand to organise an event that would give them the chance to see the Chinese stars in person. Perhaps, with enough demand, more exciting news could be on the horizon. For now, however, we'll just have to wait for the official announcement. What do you think the collaboration could be?
