She came, she was stunning, she brought Mega Star Arena and over 3500 fans who travelled from all across South East Asia and the Middle East to roaring, screaming cheers.
Her star power and inimitable celebrity charisma making AILEE, I AM:HERE the singing sensation’s solo debut concert here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a smashing success!!
Earlier at a press conference held at Mega Star Arena by LOL ASIA, Ailee shared her prep routine before belting out chart-topping OSTs in the studio, candidly confessing her heartfelt intention to bring excitement and emotion into the scene of a song, whilst focusing to adding joy and happiness into the hearts of her music followers.
“I want to touch the hearts of the people with my music. I want to relate with them, and add more happiness to their lives. The world is missing on a lot of love. I want to bring connection with each other. That’s what I want the most,” she stated.
Following the opening performance from Malaysian powerhouse Aina Abdul, who performed “Semalam”, “Terus Hidup” (a Korean version of her own song) and “You Are My Everything” from “Descendants of the Sun”, the moment of true reckoning was when Ailee hit the stage to excellent show direction and production values curated by Show Director, Deon Lee.
The singer belted “I Will Show You,” followed quickly with “Don’t Teach Me,” “No, No, No, ” “Don’t Touch Me, ” “Singing Got Better” and so forth, fans joined in unitedly as one voice singing emotionally with the mega star to the tunes of “Heaven” – Ailee’s debut first single in 2012 which peaked at No 3 on the Gaon Digital Chart and brought the awards pouring in her career.
Dedicating “I Will Go To You Like The First Snow” to Malaysia, Ailee had fans flashing show banners to one swaying rhythm across the super energised auditorium, even as the star regaled fans with impromptu smooth dance moves and a little teasing twerking to songs like “Ra Ta Ta, ” “Mind Your Own Business” and “U & I. ”
To a showcase of solidarity and hospitality on why Malaysia truly loves Ailee, local artisanal pastry chef Edwin Chan and fashion designer, Ashley Wong presented a tribute to the beloved artiste with a three tier cake in I AM:HERE concert colours and a stunning sequinned kebaya respectively.
Promising not to keep her fans in Malaysia waiting for another 11 years, Ailee promised to be back soon with more hits, more energy, more charm and more love to the city that took her breath away.
Chief Executive Officer, LOL Asia, Rizal Kamal stated confidently, “We are really happy and enjoyed working with Ailee. We thank K-pop fans in Malaysia and those who travelled from international destinations. We plan to expand this relationship even further with more concerts beyond Malaysia, and we will continue to support Ailee to become a global artiste.”
