The stage is set for a sonic eruption as the one and only vocal powerhouse Jam Hsiao makes his thunderous return to Kuala Lumpur after six long years.
And fans can prepare to be electrified by his brand-new "WILD/MILD" World Tour, hitting the iconic Axiata Arena on Saturday, 2 August 2025, at 8pm in Bukit Jalil.
Fans can dive headfirst into the captivating universe of Jam Hsiao's latest album with the "WILD/MILD" World Tour – a breathtaking exploration of nature's majesty, the depths of human emotion, and the untamed energy of live music.
"Brace yourselves for a sensory explosion where cutting-edge stage design, mesmerizing lights, and genre-defying musical arrangements collide in a spectacle of raw beauty and profound feeling. Each note and every beat will take you on an unforgettable journey through contrasting moods, igniting a primal, personal connection within," announced the organisers.
The tour's bold official poster offers a compelling preview of its artistic direction. The tour's key visual poster has been meticulously designed, featuring a striking concept inspired by René Magritte.
Within Jam Hsiao's eyes, wisps of white clouds and blue sky emerge—playing with the duality of "seeing" and "being seen." The artwork exudes a bold, cool intensity, charged with tension, while delivering a compelling call to action: "Why settle for hearing about Jam Hsiao when you can witness his wild energy live?"
Having already ignited stages across major cities in China, North America, Hong Kong, Macau, and South-East Asia since its spectacular launch in Shanghai on 3 August 2024, the "WILD/MILD" World Tour is gearing up for a phenomenal Kuala Lumpur stop.
"Get ready to be swept away by a concert experience that will reignite your passion and linger in your memory long after the final note fades."
A Mandopop Titan Unleashed
Celebrating an incredible 17 years of musical brilliance, Jam Hsiao stands tall as one of the most dynamic and versatile forces in the Chinese music scene.
His unforgettable breakout performance of 'New Endless Love' on One Million Star in 2007 was just the beginning of an inspiring journey marked by his instantly recognizable vocals and deeply emotive interpretations.
His self-titled debut album, 'Jam Hsiao' (2008), dominated charts and gifted the world with timeless anthems like 'Princess,' 'I Can Only Miss You,' and 'How to Say I Don't Love You'—beloved karaoke staples across the region.
Renowned for his electrifying stage presence, Jam Hsiao consistently delivers concerts that fuse exceptional musicality with an undeniable emotional connection.
Throughout his illustrious career, he has amassed numerous prestigious accolades, including honors from the KKBOX Music Awards, Hito Music Awards, Global Chinese Golden Chart Awards, and QQ Music's Artist of the Year, solidifying his iconic status in the realm of contemporary Mandopop.
The 2025 "WILD/MILD" tour draws its spirit from Jam Hsiao's album of the same name—a tribute to the raw, unrestrained energy of life.

Cafe's sea view turns out to be just printed mural

Compiled by CHARLES RAMENDRAN, TAN SIN CHOW and R. ARAVINTHAN A CAFE in China has stirred online controversy after its much-hyped 'lemon tree-themed sea view' turned out to be just a printed mural on an interior wall, China Press reported. Feeling deceived, a netizen shared her frustration on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese lifestyle platform, after travelling a long way to the cafe in Qingdao, Shandong province. The woman, who enjoys ­exploring different cafes and shops, said there was no real sea at the ­backdrop or lemon tree in sight unlike what was featured online. Her post went viral and drew a wave of sarcastic comments. A social media user said: 'Good thing you posted this – I might have gone myself.' Another likened the marketing as 'worse than scams in KK Garden in Myanmar', referring to a cybercrime and online fraud hub. > The residence of the late Cantopop diva Anita Mui has been described as 'maze-like', with some suggesting it should be converted into a museum, Sin Chew Daily reported. Many social media users commented that her home at Henredon Court, Shouson Hill Road in Hong Kong is spacious, with others even analysing its feng shui. This came after Michael Lui, a real estate agent, showcased a rare look inside the house on his YouTube channel. Mui purchased the property in 1993 under a company name for HK$20mil (about RM10.86mil) then. The duplex unit, measuring 4,075sq ft, overlooks Ocean Park and the Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station. It also offers a breathtaking 180-degree view of Shouson Hill. Mui, known as the 'Asian Madonna', died in 2003 at the age of 40 after a long battle with cervical cancer.

Cameras roll in Penang for Miss Hong Kong 2025

Beauties in white: The Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2025 finalists began filming at the City Hall and the Esplanade seafront in Penang. — Photo courtesy of Sin Chew Daily GEORGE TOWN: The production team of the Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2025 is in Penang for a four-day outdoor shoot, marking the first time the iconic event is being filmed in the state. Outdoor filming began at City Hall and the Esplanade seafront here yesterday, with additional shoots scheduled at several well-known attractions until Monday. The 14 finalists will wear traditional Nyonya attire and participate in a swimsuit segment, with local cuisine tasting sessions included in the itinerary. TVB stars Benjamin Yuen Wai-ho and Moon Lau Pui-yuet are also in town, joining the shoot as special guests. Yuen, who won the Mr Hong Kong title 17 years ago, hoped the contestants would enjoy the experience despite the tight schedule and challenges. 'The process will be tough and challenging, but it will be valuable for growth and learning,' he said. Yuen added he was glad to be part of the shoot and looked forward to relaxing and sampling local food. Lau, who was crowned second runner-up in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2013, said the contestants should not shy away from expressing themselves. 'Since I do not have to participate in the swimsuit segment, I will gladly 'take on' more of the local food on behalf of the contestants,' she said jokingly when met outside the City Hall yesterday. Welcoming them on-site was Penang tourism and creative economy committee chairman Wong Hon Wai. Also present were Air Itam assemblyman Joseph Ng, Seri Delima assemblyman Connie Tan, Berapit assemblyman Heng Lee Lee and Penang Global Tourism chief executive officer Ooi Chok Yan. Wong said the state's global visibility would be enhanced through the lens of a major Chinese-language entertainment brand. He said the Miss Hong Kong pageant, which began in 1946 and organised by TVB since 1973, is one of the most recognised beauty contests in the Chinese-speaking world. 'Its decision to film in Penang shows the state's growing appeal as an international filming destination. 'This is a historic moment. We see it as a chance to showcase Penang's cultural depth and modern appeal to audiences worldwide,' he was quoted as saying by state publisher Buletin Mutiara. Wong said the filming was made possible through collaboration between the Penang government and Hong Kong-based budget airline HK Express, following several weeks of discussions. He added that HK Express would double its daily flights between Hong Kong and Penang starting Oct 26. This followed a promotional campaign in late June, when Wong led a Penang delegation to Hong Kong under the theme 'Penang: Not the Penang You Know' to showcase the state's diverse cultural and tourism offerings.

(Video) Fans Coo Over Adorable Interaction Between ATEEZ's Wooyoung & Service Dog

Many K-pop idols have gone viral for their fan interactions, some for hilarious reasons and others for heartwarming ones. However, ATEEZ (에이티즈) member Wooyoung (우영) recently melted hearts with his interaction with a four-legged friend. Earlier this week, ATEEZ completed the Tacoma stop of their 'ATEEZ 2025 WORLD TOUR [IN YOUR FANTASY]' world tour in the United States. After the show, the group and selected fans participated in the sendoff segment. During the session, Wooyoung came across a fan's service dog and began interacting with the animal. Fans at the sendoff shared the videos online and quickly went viral amongst K-pop fans. The service dog named Felix was at the sendoff to accompany an ATINY (ATEEZ fan) with a disability. However, with the owner's permission, Wooyoung was allowed to interact with and pet Felix. The idol even tried to get Felix to do some tricks and was surprised when the dog followed his instructions. Fans have reacted to Wooyoung and Felix's wholesome interaction, with many cooing over it. Some also said the moment highlights the idol's sweet and caring personality. For those wondering, a service dog is a dog trained to perform tasks that mitigate the effects of a person's disability. Service dogs are considered working animals, and their training directly relates to the individual's specific disability. In the US, service dogs and other service animals are allowed to enter public spaces, including concert halls and stadiums, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Felix's owner also shared more information, revealing that the dog is trained in cardiac alert and item retrieval. While Felix was at the concert for work, his owner allowed the ATEEZ members to say hi and pet Felix if they wanted to. The owner also mentioned that, besides Wooyoung, a few other members interacted with Felix. At the same time, she also warned against interacting with service dogs unprompted, as it may be dangerous. We're glad that Wooyoung was able to interact with Felix safely. Like many others, we also found the wholesome moment very heartwarming. Here are a few clips from the interaction: Sources: Twitter (1)(2)
