DsWAVE

BIGBANG fans in Malaysia, rejoice &mdash; Daesung is officially making his long-awaited solo return! The 35-year-old vocalist has confirmed that Kuala Lumpur will be one of the stops on his upcoming D&rsquo;s WAVE Asia Tour, adding to what is already shaping up to be a remarkable year for K-pop lovers in the country.
While the original tour announcement in March left Malaysia off the map, Daesung surprised fans on the night of 20 April by confirming a Malaysian concert date through his social media &mdash; and the news has since sent VIPs into a frenzy of excitement.
This marks Daesung&rsquo;s first solo concert in Malaysia in years, and comes on the heels of fellow BIGBANG member Taeyang&rsquo;s explosive KL show last December. It also precedes the arrival of G-Dragon in July, who is scheduled to bring his own solo tour, &ldquo;&Uuml;bermensch&rdquo;, to Malaysia.

Who Is Daesung?

Daesung is a South Korean singer, actor, and television personality best known as the powerful vocalist of the iconic K-pop group BIGBANG. Debuting with the group in 2006 under YG Entertainment, Daesung contributed to numerous chart-topping hits such as &ldquo;Lies,&rdquo; &ldquo;Haru Haru,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Fantastic Baby,&rdquo; helping to cement BIGBANG&rsquo;s status as one of the most influential acts in K-pop history.​
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JlG0fz4WvoQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Venturing into a solo career, Daesung released his first solo single, &ldquo;Look at Me, Gwisun,&rdquo; in 2008, showcasing his versatility by embracing the trot genre. His Japanese solo endeavors under the stage name D-LITE have been particularly successful; albums like D&rsquo;scover (2013), D&rsquo;slove (2014), and D-Day (2017) topped Japan&rsquo;s Oricon charts. Notably, his 2017 Japanese dome tour attracted over 150,000 fans, making him the second foreign male solo artist after Michael Jackson to achieve two consecutive number one albums in Japan. ​
Beyond music, Daesung has showcased his charisma on television, being a main cast member of the popular variety show Family Outing (2008&ndash;2010) and starring in the musical drama What&rsquo;s Up (2011). After completing his mandatory military service in 2019, he returned to the entertainment scene, launching his YouTube channel &ldquo;D&rsquo;splay&rdquo; and releasing his first Korean EP, D&rsquo;s Wave, in April 2025. ​
A Night of Music, Laughter, and Heart

The show will spotlight songs from his newly released Korean mini album D&rsquo;s WAVE, which officially dropped on 8 April 2025. The album has already garnered praise for its musical depth and fresh direction, led by the sentimental and space-themed single &ldquo;Universe&rdquo;. This marks an exciting new chapter for Daesung as a solo artist &mdash; and one that Malaysian fans now get to experience live.

BIGBANG’s Daesung Confirms Malaysia Stop For 2025 ‘D’s WAVE’ Asia Tour

Malaysia&rsquo;s forests are home to endangered giants &mdash; but highways and human development are turning their ancient paths into deadly traps. After the recent roadkill of a baby elephant, conservationists say enough is enough.
Heartbreaking Scene in Belum-Temengor
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5c87e0ae7f488a1ecb79ca350414bc9bcd4c38bac878bb0a71de556eb5510c1b" />
A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded along the East-West Highway recently, where a baby elephant was struck and killed in a collision &mdash; the third reported elephant roadkill since 2024. A viral video captured the heart-wrenching sight of the calf&rsquo;s mother standing protectively over her baby&rsquo;s body for hours, reluctant to leave until sedated by wildlife officers.
The incident, which occurred on the stretch of road between Gerik and Jeli, cut through the heart of the Royal Belum State Park and Temengor Forest Reserve &mdash; two of Malaysia&rsquo;s most biodiverse and ecologically critical landscapes. These forests are key habitats for Malayan elephants, tapirs, sun bears, and the critically endangered Malayan tiger.
WWF-Malaysia: Short-Term Action is Crucial
&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fwwfmy%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02rPVAVN6WLdW1HZfuxXkDaXck2RpUnNsinvkLXqeEC3U2wjCAsiVc3ZN5H2ULmQt1l&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="575" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Following the tragedy, WWF-Malaysia issued an urgent call for immediate and targeted intervention. While the organisation welcomed large-scale plans like the proposed Perak Elephant Sanctuary and federal funding for ecological corridors, it stressed that these long-term solutions cannot prevent the growing number of elephant deaths now occurring on Malaysian highways.
&ldquo;We welcome long-term efforts such as the Perak Elephant Sanctuary and forest protection incentives, but we must act now with short-term solutions to stop the bloodshed,&rdquo; WWF-Malaysia stated.
WWF-Malaysia outlined a series of practical, cost-effective measures that the government and road authorities can implement to save lives &mdash; both animal and human:
<ul>
<li>Install speed bumps at verified wildlife crossing hotspots to physically slow vehicles down.</li>
<li>Construct additional wildlife crossings, including underpasses and viaducts, to give elephants and other large mammals a safe way across highways.</li>
<li>Strictly enforce reduced speed limits, particularly during dusk-to-dawn hours when elephants are more active.</li>
<li>Expand wildlife corridor mapping to update where animals are currently moving due to habitat fragmentation.</li>
</ul>
These solutions, WWF notes, have been tested elsewhere in Malaysia with measurable success. For instance, a 200-metre wildlife viaduct at KM157 of the Gerik-Jeli Highway, built under the Central Forest Spine (CFS) Master Plan in 2015, has shown promise in reducing roadkill incidents &mdash; but it's currently the only one across a 100km stretch of road.
Shrinking Habitat, Rising Conflict
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a669b1551a4a69f6af194d536dce0b2887b418cb0a5f55e14bec4a4749b81640" />
Peninsular Malaysia&rsquo;s elephant population is estimated at fewer than 1,500 individuals, and their habitat is shrinking rapidly. A 2016 study by WWF found that elephant roaming grounds in the peninsula have decreased by 68% over recent decades, largely due to land-use changes, agriculture, road expansion, and urban sprawl.
As a result, elephants are increasingly forced to cross roads and enter settlements in search of food and space, leading to rising conflict with humans. According to data from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability (NRES), between 2020 and 2024, there were 4,919 reported human-elephant conflict cases, causing RM39.4 million in damage to property, crops, and vehicles.
WWF-Malaysia is urging a more coordinated approach across agencies, states, and communities to protect remaining elephant habitats and minimise dangerous encounters.
Government Response: 39 Wildlife Crossings Upgraded
&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FKementerianKerjaRaya%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02BDhSphjpEgAsBeeecNujzFUXcAagzfjh3ngkmMQCDuVjou9CCnR4S6uiXTECxYKAl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="703" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The government has taken steps in response to public outcry. The Ministry of Works (KKR), together with the Public Works Department (JKR) and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan), recently upgraded 39 known elephant crossing sites nationwide with warning signage and street lighting to alert drivers that they are entering wildlife corridors.
&ldquo;These signs and lighting systems aim to inform drivers they&rsquo;re entering areas frequently used by elephants moving between forest patches,&rdquo; said KKR in a public statement.
Authorities have also deployed electrified fencing, salt licks to lure elephants away from highways, and LED-based wildlife warning systems in several high-risk areas. While these efforts mark progress, conservation groups warn they are not enough unless supported by stronger enforcement and more physical barriers to prevent accidents.
Calls for Broader, Tech-Based Solutions 
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/49638c1be2306abd0db9d69abe316f795b2675d6938479f6ff284d1cbe08d0f7" />
Road safety experts and environmentalists alike are calling for a more comprehensive, data-driven approach. Road safety advocate Datuk Mohammad Hisham Shafe stressed that collisions involving wildlife are not isolated incidents, but a growing trend that needs national-level attention.
He proposed:
<ul>
<li>A nationwide hotspot mapping study to identify and prioritise dangerous crossing zones.</li>
<li>Advanced monitoring technologies, such as motion sensors and camera traps, to alert road users of wildlife presence.</li>
<li>Construction of additional animal-specific infrastructure, including overhead green bridges and larger underpasses designed for large mammals.</li>
</ul>
&ldquo;These recommendations must be followed by real implementation &mdash; not just planning on paper,&rdquo; he added.
Know What to Do: Safety Tips for Drivers in Forest Zones
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e4a10b68e6cbac6b8769fcf8ead4e54cdfef8c72ae016978d46f55f8ccf1d283" />
For those travelling through forested highways such as the Gerik-Jeli Highway, Tasik Banding, or Puncak Titiwangsa, caution is key. Wildlife experts and local conservationists advise the public to stay alert and adopt the following measures:
<ul>
<li>Avoid night-time driving through known elephant zones, particularly during full moons or rainy weather, when visibility is low and elephant activity peaks.</li>
<li>Slow down and dim your lights if you see animals or receive headlight signals from other vehicles.</li>
<li>Never use high beams, honk, or provoke elephants &mdash; these actions may trigger aggression.</li>
<li>Do not stop to take photos or approach elephants. These are wild animals and can react unpredictably.</li>
<li>Turn back if an elephant displays warning signs such as ear flapping, trumpeting, or mock charges.</li>
</ul>
Remember, elephants can move up to 40km/h and may attack if threatened.
The Bigger Picture: Coexistence Requires Collective Effort
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/898e9e03bd75b07b47b91ec34ed8c3a5465800c28fe1efc9e616fc35013381d1" />
Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad aptly described the tragedy as more than just an accident: &ldquo;It reflects the serious challenges in achieving true coexistence between humans and nature.&rdquo;
He emphasised that real change requires collaboration at every level &mdash; between federal and state governments, road authorities, plantation owners, and the public. No amount of funding or infrastructure will succeed without shared responsibility and accountability.
Malaysia&rsquo;s Forests: A Precious, Fragile Legacy
Malaysia remains one of the few places on Earth where wild elephants, tigers, and tapirs can still be encountered in their natural habitats. But that legacy is hanging by a thread. As development continues, the fate of these species depends on whether we choose to build a future where nature and humans can safely coexist.
So if you&rsquo;re ever driving through Belum-Temengor, Gua Musang, or along any part of the Central Forest Spine, remember &mdash; the road belongs to them, too.

A Tragic Wake-Up Call: Baby Elephant Killed On Malaysian Highway Sparks Urgent Calls For Action

NCTzens, it&rsquo;s finally happening! After a long wait and growing anticipation, NCT Dream has officially confirmed their return to Malaysia as part of their highly anticipated new world tour &mdash; &ldquo;The Dream Show 4: Dream The Future.&rdquo; This time, they&rsquo;re not just stopping by for one night. They&rsquo;re treating fans to two back-to-back shows at Kuala Lumpur&rsquo;s Axiata Arena on 13 and 14 December 2025 &mdash; a thrilling weekend that is already shaping up to be the highlight of the year for Malaysian K-pop fans.
Who Are NCT Dream?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6ab53562b72ddfe75ec33cacac3c3e381874598db24f6a5100064a0bea098ea9" />
NCT Dream is a sub-unit of the South Korean boy group NCT (Neo Culture Technology), formed by SM Entertainment. Originally debuting in August 2016, the group was conceived with a unique youthful concept, featuring teenage members and a graduation system. However, due to overwhelming popularity and demand, SM later restructured the group into a fixed seven-member lineup, consisting of Mark, Renjun, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Chenle, and Jisung.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PkKnp4SdE-w" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Renowned for their energetic performances, diverse music styles, and tight choreography, NCT Dream has grown into one of K-pop&rsquo;s most successful and internationally recognised acts. The group has consistently topped domestic and global charts, with standout hits like:
<ul>
<li>"Hot Sauce" (2021) &ndash; Their best-selling album to date, which sold over two million copies and earned a Daesang (Grand Prize) at the Asia Artist Awards.</li>
<li>"Boom" (2019) &ndash; A fan-favourite that marked a sonic shift in their discography towards a more mature, bass-heavy sound.</li>
<li>"Glitch Mode" (2022) &ndash; The title track of their second studio album, which continued their trend of chart dominance and sold over two million units in less than a month.</li>
<li>"Hello Future" and "We Go Up" &ndash; Celebrated for their vibrant visuals and uplifting messages.</li>
</ul>
NCT Dream has received numerous accolades throughout their career, including:
<ul>
<li>Bonsang Awards at the Golden Disc Awards, Seoul Music Awards, and Melon Music Awards.</li>
<li>The Top Artist Award at the 2021 Asia Artist Awards.</li>
<li>Recognition on Billboard&rsquo;s World Albums Chart, Oricon in Japan, and other major global platforms.</li>
</ul>
Known for blending high-energy pop, hip-hop, R&amp;B, and experimental sounds, NCT Dream is also praised for their on-stage charisma and strong bond with fans, affectionately known as NCTzens. As they&rsquo;ve matured, their music has evolved alongside them &mdash; moving from youthful themes to more introspective and genre-defying releases, without losing the vibrant spirit that defines their identity.
The Long-Awaited Comeback to Kuala Lumpur
NCT Dream&rsquo;s return to Malaysia has been long overdue. The group last performed here in 2023 for &ldquo;The Dream Show 2: In YOUR DREAM,&rdquo; which sold out almost instantly and left many fans heartbroken. Those who managed to score tickets were treated to an electrifying performance, and those who didn&rsquo;t have been patiently waiting ever since. During that unforgettable night, Mark made a promise on stage that they would return with a two-day concert next time to accommodate even more fans. And now, he&rsquo;s made good on that promise.
In 2024, Malaysia was noticeably absent from the group&rsquo;s tour itinerary, making this announcement even more exciting. The decision to close out their 2025 Asia tour in Kuala Lumpur feels like a gift &mdash; and a celebration &mdash; for the dedicated Malaysian NCTzens who have supported the group through every era.
&ldquo;The Dream Show 4: Dream The Future&rdquo; &ndash; What We Know So Far
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/c077a6fbd9a2facb99e2a370fe0617a61223ba615cb6f6b85a3e9818d9b52677" />
The Dream The Future tour kicks off with a massive three-day concert in Seoul at the Gocheok Sky Dome from 10 to 12 July 2025, before heading across Asia with stops in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Singapore, and Taipei. Kuala Lumpur currently marks the final stop on the announced tour schedule, hinting at a potentially emotional and unforgettable finale.
Fans can expect a completely fresh setlist, new choreography, and visuals that push creative boundaries &mdash; a full NCT Dream experience built to reflect their evolving sound and stage presence. With their popularity continuing to soar and rumours of even more cities being added to the lineup, this might just be their biggest tour to date.

NCT Dream Is Bringing A Two-Day Concert To Malaysia In December 2025!

More than a decade after the horrific downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, the United Nations&rsquo; aviation body has formally ruled that the Russian Federation was responsible for the 2014 air disaster over eastern Ukraine, which killed all 298 people on board. The decision marks a significant step in the long quest for truth, justice, and accountability led by the governments of Australia and the Netherlands.
MH17 Shot Down by Russian Missile Over War-Torn Ukraine
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a3cf319928b711ed955004ffe8009dd6ea0092501db617c2565bea19445399f1" />
On 17 July 2014, MH17, a Boeing 777 en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was shot down mid-flight while traversing Ukrainian airspace over the Donetsk region&mdash;an area engulfed in armed conflict between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists.
Investigations later confirmed the aircraft was struck by a Russian-made Buk surface-to-air missile launched from territory controlled by pro-Russian militants. The crash resulted in the deaths of 283 passengers and 15 crew members. Among the victims were 196 Dutch nationals, 43 Malaysians, 38 Australians, 27 from Australia (including residents), 12 Indonesians, 10 Britons, 4 Germans, 4 Belgians, 3 Filipinos, 1 Canadian and 1 New Zealander.
The tragedy sent shockwaves around the globe, coming just four months after the disappearance of MH370, another Malaysia Airlines flight, whose fate remains unresolved.
ICAO Ruling: Russia Violated International Air Law
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/16d9328e770f1ba87a7908eb422c6e5d9910370553df64c77210c55e4a35b539" />
On 12 May 2025, the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)&mdash;a specialised agency of the United Nations&mdash;ruled that Russia had violated international air law by failing to uphold its obligations under the Chicago Convention. The convention obliges all signatory states to &ldquo;refrain from the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight.&rdquo;
The ruling followed a formal complaint lodged in 2022 by the governments of Australia and the Netherlands. The ICAO Council determined that the claims made were &ldquo;well-founded in fact and law,&rdquo; and that Russia had not only failed in its duty to protect civil aviation but also breached its international responsibilities.
Although ICAO lacks direct enforcement powers, its decisions carry substantial moral weight among its 193 member states and help shape global aviation norms.
Call for Reparations: Australia and the Netherlands Respond
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/cf293fd9228405caf0106557ac7abb322f2c2020825401598499f48c56cdcc50" /> Left: Caspar Veldkamp ; Right: Penny Wong
Both Australia and the Netherlands have welcomed the ruling as a landmark development in the MH17 case. Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp described the decision as &ldquo;an important step towards establishing the truth and achieving justice and accountability for all victims of Flight MH17, and their families and loved ones.&rdquo;
He added that the ruling also served a broader purpose: &ldquo;It sends a clear message to the international community&mdash;states cannot violate international law with impunity.&rdquo;
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong echoed those sentiments, calling the ruling a &ldquo;historic moment in the pursuit of truth, justice and accountability.&rdquo; She urged Russia to face up to its role in the disaster and begin negotiations for reparations.
&ldquo;We call upon Russia to finally take responsibility for this horrific act of violence and make reparations for its egregious conduct, as required under international law,&rdquo; Wong said.
Both countries are now pushing for the ICAO to move swiftly in determining the form of legal redress and reparations, with further deliberations expected in the coming weeks.
Legal Background: Previous Court Rulings and Moscow&rsquo;s Denials
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/d6c87ca7f29060eb0ef0b0931df3453aa5497bafd3cb0cfda3eb6b1585c3ddad" />
In 2022, a Dutch court convicted two Russian nationals and a pro-Moscow Ukrainian man of murder in absentia for their involvement in the attack. All three were sentenced to life imprisonment. However, due to Russia&rsquo;s refusal to extradite its citizens and its denunciation of the ruling as &ldquo;scandalous,&rdquo; none of the convicted individuals have served jail time.
Adding to the complexity, a 2023 investigation revealed intelligence suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin had personally approved the missile transfer to the separatists. Despite this, the investigation into other potential suspects was halted due to a lack of sufficient evidence.
Russia has consistently denied any involvement in the downing of MH17 and has refused to cooperate with international judicial efforts. In 2020, Moscow formally withdrew from talks with Australia and the Netherlands on accountability measures.
Malaysia&rsquo;s Role and Continuing Global Impact
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/889e5ebfbb9a7a5ed79dfed6a60b11fdad020ba38818475a40e3a1e8f7f6c7d1" />
Despite being the flag carrier involved, Malaysia Airlines has not yet issued a formal statement in response to the ICAO ruling. However, for many Malaysians, the tragedy remains a deep wound. The loss of 43 citizens in the crash, combined with the mystery of MH370, has left an enduring scar on the national psyche.
Back home, the decision by ICAO has rekindled calls for continued pressure on Russia to accept responsibility and contribute to a global precedent that civilian aircraft must never be targeted in armed conflict.
A Decade Later: Justice Still in Progress
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1d9826c21c734e8e4ffc0aa3e03039b7c766877c86fd49b2187079221b592f7e" />
The ICAO&rsquo;s decision is a significant diplomatic win for Australia and the Netherlands, whose perseverance has kept the tragedy in the international spotlight. While the ruling does not bring back the 298 lives lost, it represents a long-overdue recognition of state accountability and the rights of victims&rsquo; families to seek justice.
In the weeks ahead, the focus will shift to what form reparations may take, and whether Russia will eventually comply with international demands. For now, the ruling stands as a milestone in international aviation law and a solemn reminder of the lives cut short by an act of violence in the skies.

Russia Officially Held Responsible For MH17 Tragedy: UN Aviation Council Delivers Historic Ruling

In today&rsquo;s hyper-digital world where technology is deeply woven into our daily lives, one thing remains universally agreed upon: online scams are increasingly difficult to avoid. In Malaysia, these digital threats have surged in recent years, with social media platforms becoming fertile ground for scam operations. Transnational syndicates have been exploiting vulnerabilities in the online ecosystem, revealing major regulatory blind spots.
Just how bad is it? In 2024 alone, online scams reportedly cost Malaysia a staggering RM54.02 billion&mdash;approximately 3% of the country&rsquo;s GDP. Perhaps even more alarming is that up to 70% of scam victims never lodged a report, reflecting widespread scepticism about the reporting process and its effectiveness.
A Bold Marketing Stunt&mdash;or a Risky One?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/9494fc789b797cb66a208254d2439bc6dd6004d6d34ac250e5fb897e7ab3249c" />
Recently, a viral post across social media and WhatsApp chats drew public attention to a potential scam involving QR codes. Shared by Facebook user Bang Rajan VII in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/487246842365526/posts/1325506565206212/">local community group</a>, the post featured a video and several photos of vehicles parked in a shopping complex, each with what appeared to be summons slips placed on their windscreens.
At first glance, the situation raised red flags&mdash;why would cars parked legally within a shopping centre receive summonses? Many assumed it was the latest phishing ploy targeting unsuspecting Malaysians.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/12e71bc8e2ef8d513c20466c5cc4bbfa2fc6cdeb650293b84c5a5e7fb50e37b3" />
Upon closer inspection, however, eagle-eyed netizens spotted inconsistencies in the summons slip. A glaring typo&mdash;&ldquo;Jalan Pegankutan Jalam 1988&rdquo;&mdash;was one clue, but the biggest giveaway came from the plate number printed on the notice: &ldquo;MALF2025&rdquo;. It turns out, the &lsquo;summons&rsquo; was actually an unorthodox promotional gimmick for the upcoming Malaysia Auto and Lifestyle Festival (MALF2025), set to take place from 13 to 15 June 2025 at Sepang International Circuit. The official website of the event was even listed discreetly at the bottom of the slip.

Public Reactions: Raising Awareness or Spreading Confusion?
While the marketing stunt has certainly earned points for creativity, it also raises serious concerns. In a time when Malaysians are increasingly vulnerable to phishing scams, such a tactic can blur the lines between humour and harm. Many who encountered the QR code&mdash;and the faux summons&mdash;believed it to be genuine and shared it as a warning.
Although this shows that Malaysians are keen to look out for one another by spreading awareness, it also highlights the ease with which misinformation can circulate. In this case, it may even backfire on the event organisers, as users online may accuse them of insensitivity or irresponsibility, especially considering the current climate of digital fear and scam fatigue.
Here are some of the reactions shared online:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/937d2f7b5bb4e8d7c1f0411c26c9114a2e28ebbc108cb0a96862b08e93e69762" />
So, Are QR Codes on Tickets Safe?
In short: not all QR codes are scams. QR codes are now commonplace on tickets, menus, flyers, and parking apps&mdash;but caution is always advised. As this incident shows, even a clever marketing move can be misinterpreted, especially when trust in digital platforms is already on shaky ground.
So, while it&rsquo;s unlikely that the MALF2025 QR code was malicious, the lesson here is simple&mdash;stay alert. Double-check URLs, scrutinise odd-looking documents, and never scan anything that seems out of place, especially when it involves personal or financial information. When in doubt, verify through official channels. After all, in an age where technology brings both convenience and risk, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Marketing Gimmick Sparks Concern Amid Public’s Heightened Fears Of Phishing

After nearly eight years away from the solo stage, K-pop icon G-Dragon is finally making his long-anticipated return&mdash;and Malaysia is one of the lucky stops on his &Uuml;bermensch 2025 World Tour. The BIGBANG leader and genre-defining artist will perform two back-to-back shows on 19 and 20 July 2025 at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, marking a major moment for fans in the region who have been waiting patiently for his comeback.
The tour kicked off earlier this year with a pair of electrifying shows in Goyang, South Korea, followed by performances in Tokyo and scheduled stops across Asia including Bulacan in the Philippines, Osaka, Macau, and Taipei. Malaysia will serve as the next Southeast Asian destination before the tour moves on to Jakarta and eventually concludes in Hong Kong. The announcement has already sent waves of excitement through the fan community, especially as this marks G-Dragon&rsquo;s first major solo outing since 2017&rsquo;s Act III: M.O.T.T.E tour.
Who is G-Dragon?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b10454c2c4771fd9c68dcbdfcedf64468da6bce2c7da54f5478410e3852c0a90" />
G-Dragon is a South Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer renowned for his influential role in shaping the K-pop industry. Debuting in 2006 as the leader of the iconic boy band BIGBANG, G-Dragon quickly gained recognition for his musical talent and charismatic stage presence, contributing to the group's status as one of the best-selling boy bands globally.

Embarking on a solo career in 2009, G-Dragon released his debut album Heartbreaker, which achieved significant success and earned him the Album of the Year award at both the Mnet Asian Music Awards and the Melon Music Awards. His subsequent works, including the EP One of a Kind (2012) and the album Coup d'Etat (2013), further solidified his position as a leading solo artist. Notable tracks from his solo discography include "Crooked," "That XX," and "Untitled, 2014," each showcasing his versatility and depth as a musician.
Throughout his career, G-Dragon has amassed numerous accolades, including 13 Mnet Asian Music Awards, five Golden Disc Awards, and recognition from the Korean Music Awards. In 2016, he was honored with the Korean Prime Minister Recognition Award for his contributions to the entertainment industry.
Beyond music, G-Dragon is celebrated for his influence in fashion, often referred to as a style icon. His brand, PEACEMINUSONE, reflects his unique aesthetic and has garnered international attention.
In 2025, G-Dragon made a significant return with his third studio album, &Uuml;bermensch, marking his first full-length release in over a decade. The album features collaborations with artists like Anderson .Paak and includes tracks such as "TOO BAD" and "HOME SWEET HOME," the latter featuring fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung. To support the album, he announced a world tour, commencing with performances in Seoul.
Fans Are Excited For The Much-Anticipated Tour 
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/87a89cf05b8cd139bda934e31d6f4e79f7eabf4cce8ced4f1777f60d5195e046" />
The buzz surrounding G-Dragon&rsquo;s return has been steadily building since last year, particularly after fellow BIGBANG member Daesung teased the possibility of a tour during Taeyang&rsquo;s concert in Seoul. That speculation turned to certainty in March 2025 when the &Uuml;bermensch tour was officially confirmed, prompting a frenzy of anticipation among VIPs&mdash;G-Dragon&rsquo;s loyal fanbase&mdash;worldwide.
G-Dragon&rsquo;s Malaysian stop is expected to be one of the tour&rsquo;s highlights, with a powerful setlist and a multi-sensory stage production that promises to fuse music, fashion, and visuals in true G-Dragon style. The show is likely to feature both classics from his solo discography and new material from his latest album &Uuml;bermensch, which has already produced the singles &ldquo;POWER&rdquo; and &ldquo;Too Bad&rdquo;. As one of the most influential figures in K-pop and fashion, G-Dragon&rsquo;s return to live performance is being hailed as one of the biggest musical events of 2025.

A Concert Not To Be Missed
More than just a K-pop concert, G-Dragon&rsquo;s &Uuml;bermensch tour is a celebration of his influence as a global tastemaker.
