Hari heated up Malaysia with "Gwiyomi Song"

The Gwiyomi Song’s original singer, Hari had her promo tour in Malaysia on 2nd of November to 5th of November. Hari made her way to KL Sg. Wang Concourse Area on her last day of the tour to meet her KL fans during the Meet and Greet session. The event started with the performance of ‘Gwiyomi Song’ by the students from RedMouse Dance Academy (Jinghan, Jasmine, Sonja and Carol).

Not long later, the cute singer Hari appeared and greeted her fans in Korean and Malay. Hari said that she is happy to be in Malaysia and wants to stay in Malaysia.  She also gave fans some insights on how the ‘Gwiyomi Song’ concept came up. She felt that it was one of the best way to interact with her fans. Gwiyomi Player is somehow popular that time in Korea and sp she and her producers came up with the ‘Gwiyomi Song’.

At the same time, Hari proudly introduced her producers to everyone. The host asked Hari to teach her fans how to do the Gwiyomi gestures the right way. To top off her last stop for her promo tour, Hari cheekily did a seductive version of Gwiyomi to the fans and media. Fans were heated up by Hari’s cute yet sexy charm.

Four lucky fans were also chosen on stage with the producers to interact with Hari and to do the Gwiyomi together. Creative fans came up with a few versions of their own Gwiyomi, such as seductive version and cute version. The producers somehow hit the spotlight by coming up with a dirty version of Gwiyomi while Hari was singing to the crowd. As expected, the floor members were amused by the producers’ dirty version of Gwiyomi.

After the interact session with Hari, she performed the Gwiyomi Song together with the RedMouse Dance Academy students. Before ending her perfomance, Hari took a big group photo with fans and audience at the background. The exclusive fansign session started right after the Meet and Greet session. Fans bought Hari’s single the ‘Gwiyomi Song’ album on the spot to get the chance of having their album autographed and a photo together with the singer.

Besides young fans of Hari that we normally expect to show up on stage, there are also adults that bought Hari's album and brought their children up on stage to get autograph and take photos with Hari. After the fansign ended, the winners from 988 radio station (official radio partner) went up stage to take a group photo with Hari. Before heading off stage, Hari bid fans farewell with a stretch of cute poses on stage.

For your information, the Malaysia Gwiyomi Challenge is still on going. The winner of the challenge will have the chance to walk away him/herself a pair of flight tickets to Seoul + 1 set LG Pocket Photo + 1 Hari’s Autographed CD.

Meet Running Man's Lee Kwang-soo in Malaysia!

Meet Running Man’s Lee Kwang Soo In Malaysia

Malaysia, 4 November 2013 – Malaysians along with other international countries have embraced the infectious and unique new form of “urban action variety, called The Running Man since its 2010 premiere in Korea. At the time, most variety shows were either talk-centered (talk shows like Strong Heart or even varieties like Family Outing or 1N2D which focused primarily in cast interaction) or game centered (Dream Team and to a lesser degree, X-Man).

Running Man was an interesting mix of both; it offered a fixed cast completing very high-concept and ever-changing races performed in a new landmark every week. The show sought to do the unexpected, implementing new missions or tasks that aimed to thrill or intrigue. The characters continue to grow and win the affection and devotion of fans not just in Korea but the world including Malaysia.

Malaysian fans of Running Man will be in store for a session that will get them up and close with one of the cast most “paid attention to” personalities; Lee Kwang-Soo; who is known as the framing master, betrayer, and giraffe in the show. He was originally only known to be timid and quiet at the show’s commencement but slowly became the show’s resident traitor as betrayal became all the more prominent in the show. His hilarious and charismatic personality in Running Man propels him into international stardom and even given the title of Asia’s Prince because of his immense popularity across Asia.

JS Concert Productions with Faith & D Entertainment and King Kong Entertainment proudly presents the much anticipated Lee Kwang Soo Fan Meeting In Malaysia that will be held at 7pm on Saturday, 4th of January 2014 at KWC Fashion Mall in Kuala Lumpur.

The Lee Kwang Soo Fan Meeting will offer Malaysians a chance to see him perform and serenade them with songs and dance live whilst getting to know him up close and personal beyond the personae they see him as on the small screen as in The Running Man. He will participate in the various interactive fun and games which will be spontaneous and riotous for all involved, surely and event of epic fan meets artist proportions that must not be missed.

Lee Kwang-soo fan meeting in Malaysia

Date: 4th January 2014

Time: 7PM

Venue: KWC Fashion Mall

Ticket categories available for purchase will be Premium Zone – RM 498 (All Premium ticket holders are entitled to Hi5 with Lee Kwang Soo and get an autograph poster from him, Category 1 at RM 298 and Category 2 at RM 158.

Besides, NU'EST had their stage outfit changed 3 times throughout the showcase too. It was definitely a sight for the fans.

Vizit Korea 2013 has brought Korea to Singapore by exhibiting a variety of Korean culture such as traditional games, authentic Korean food, trendy Korean clothings, hot tourist spots, and newly launched beauty products. Fans who went for the Kpop artiste can also land their hands on official merchandise of A-PINK and NU'EST from the exhibition booth. It was impressive that autographed shirts signed by NU'EST were all sold out the night after the showcase. It was overall a great performance from the boys and a successful and informative exhibition put up by Vizit Korea 2013, organized by MediaCorp VizPro International Pte Ltd (VizPro) and The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Singapore, co-organized by Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) and CS Company.
