Lee Joon Gi’s much-anticipated Asia Tour touched down in Kuala Lumpur, marking his first visit to Malaysia. From the moment he stepped onto the stage, it was evident how thrilled he was to finally be there. His infectious excitement resonated with the audience as he playfully questioned why he had taken so long to visit, a sentiment that set a warm, celebratory tone for the evening.
As part of the fan engagement activities, Joon Gi was playfully challenged to strike five cute poses. Initially surprised, he joked that he thought fans only wanted to see his manly side. However, he gamely accepted the challenge, mimicking the cute poses suggested by the audience, which elicited laughter and cheers from the crowd.
Another memorable moment came when fans requested him to showcase some action acting on stage. Rising to the occasion, Joon Gi executed a stunning split followed by a high kick in the air, demonstrating his athleticism and stage presence, much to the delight of everyone present.
One of the most touching moments came when he read a heartfelt letter from a Malaysian fan named Nurul Syafiqah. Her words, thanking him for making her dream come true by visiting Malaysia, highlighted the profound connection he shares with his fans. It was clear that this concert was as much about the fans as it was about him, with Joon Gi acknowledging supporters who had traveled from around the globe to be part of this special event.
Despite emphasizing that this was an “actor’s fanmeeting” rather than a concert, the night featured an impressive setlist of over 20 songs, blurring the lines between the two. His performances, rich with emotion and energy, felt like a concert experience, especially with new tracks like “DELETE” and “Dancing In The Moonlight” captivating the audience.
A highlight of the evening was Joon Gi’s special cover of “Rasa Sayang.” The nostalgic tune ignited a sing-along, uniting everyone in the crowd. Even when faced with technical difficulties, such as in-ear equipment failures, he maintained his composure, delivering nearly flawless performances that showcased his professionalism and dedication.
In an unexpected turn, Joon Gi shared that he hadn’t initially planned an Asia Tour. However, the overwhelming requests from fans prompted him to extend his journey to several countries, a testament to his commitment to his supporters. He ended the night on a hopeful note, promising to return to Malaysia in the future, leaving the audience buzzing with anticipation.
As the concert wrapped up, the goodbye session felt bittersweet, with fans reluctant to part ways. Lee Joon Gi’s first visit to Kuala Lumpur was a resounding success, blending heartfelt moments with electrifying performances, ensuring that the night would be cherished by all who attended.
