How to cheer for Malaysian idol Lingling and KIIRAS if you're watching them perform debut single ‘Kill Ma Bo$$' (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — You know by now that the newly formed girl group KIIRAS has dropped their first single and music video yesterday showcasing the group's charming and vibrant personality. To help fans join in on the fanchant, the six-member girl group with the first Malaysian K-pop idol Lingling has released a video guide on how to chant along to their debut single, 'Kill Ma Bo$$'. Start by calling out each member's name a few seconds into the intro — Lingling's name is first in the list as the leader — followed by the group's name. As the first line of the verse ends, shout 'Kill Ma Bo$$!' loud and proud. From there, just enjoy the song and listen for key phrases like 'Right now' or 'Your your yours'—those are your cue to chant along. When the chorus hits and you hear 'Kill Ma Bo$$', jump in with 'KILL MA!' with all your energy! If it sounds a bit tricky or confusing already, don't worry — the fanchant guide is on YouTube, so you can practise day by day at your own pace. A fanchant is a phrase or series of words chanted by fans during live performances, often timed to specific parts of a song to synchronise with the artist's music. It's a way for fans to interact with their idols and show their support. In K-pop, fanchants are more than just fun — they've become a cherished tradition, embraced by fans all over the world. With the release of KIIRAS's debut single, and its music video receiving favourable reviews, now's the perfect time to learn the fanchant and join in the excitement. Whether you're watching them live or enjoying the song from the comfort of your room, chanting along connects you to the energy of the performance.

Which one is Lingling? How to spot the Malaysian K-pop idol in KIIRAS' debut single ‘Kill Ma Bo$$' (VIDEO)
KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — The dream has come true for Klang-born Alicia Wong Lingling with the debut of her girl group KIIRAS and their first single, 'Kill Ma Bo$$'. While Lingling takes centre stage in the music video, you may be left wondering which one is Lingling if you're not familiar with the group. Here's how to spot her in every major look and to cheer our Malaysian K-pop idol! Lingling taking a cowboy hat in KIIRAS' 'Kill Ma Bo$$' video. — Screengrab from YouTube/KIIRAS The cowboy hat moment Just seconds into the video, as members of KIIRAS playfully don cowboy hats, Lingling stands out as she dramatically pulls a brown one from a cabinet getting ready to put it on. You can see her striking, rebellious red fingerless gloves as she takes the hat — conspicuously with a bullet hole. It's the moment the music video truly kicks off — a clear sign she's claiming her main character's energy.

She is the one with the faded, sleeveless denim vest adorned with colourful embroidered floral and star pattern. She is also wearing brown pants with leather chaps with fringe detailing running down the side seams. Lingling could later even be seen riding a horse, cementing the cowgirl role.

This is the same outfit she wore while taking the hat. She is the one wearing a bohemian-vibed off-white embroidered peasant dress and striped short-sleeve tees for a pop of colour — a dark sleeveless vest over it. The dress is worn over baggy jeans and chunky brown suede boots with exaggerated fringes. A fringed crossbody bag in caramel suede completes the look.

Lingling rocks a more pop idol-inspired outfit: a figure-hugging metallic chrome crop top with high-waisted deep indigo jeans with a satiny finish. It's a look that screams 'K-pop star' — sharp, polished, and stage-ready, especially with the thick silver chain necklace. This was the look she wore to their recent M Countdown show, you can find her in this line-up (she is third last):

UK pop trio Remember Monday's Eurovision 2025 performance of "What the Hell Just Happened?" was well-received by viewers. The group, the first girl group to represent the UK since 1999, wore colourful Bridgerton -esque outfits to perform their song, written by Danish songwriter Thomas Stengaard. While not favourites to win, the trio's energetic performance impressed audiences. 'Not an expert but those were great vocals,' one fan wrote, while another said: 'Remember Monday were amazing! I love the song anyway, but they nailed that performance and the staging was brilliant.' The band's appearance on The Voice in 2019 helped launch their career, culminating in their Eurovision debut.
