2NE1's Sandara Park, Lee Chong Wei & More: Local & International Stars Who Attended G-Dragon's KL Concert
Regardless, those who attended the concert spotted a few familiar faces in the audience, including both local and international celebrities. So, without further ado, let's take a look at who was in attendance at the icon's concert at Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur:
1. 2NE1's Sandara Park
Who would have thought that a member of 2NE1 would be spotted among the Malaysian crowd during G-Dragon's Kuala Lumpur concert? A video has been circulating online showing Sandara Park enjoying the show while waving her lightstick. For those who may not know, both BIGBANG and 2NE1 debuted under YG Entertainment, so it's not entirely surprising to see the idol showing support for her ex-labelmate.
2. Datuk Lee Chong Wei
One of the perks of retirement is getting to enjoy concerts by your favourite artists. Former national shuttler Datuk Wira Lee Chong Wei (李宗伟) was spotted making his way to his seat at the concert, where he was also seen greeting fans who recognised him. He later reposted an Instagram Story featuring one of the BIGBANG members' performances during the show.
3. Ms Kuan, Alex HKF, Danny Koo
Local influencers Ms Kuan and Alex HKF shared posts about their experience at the concert, with the latter offering some insights into what went down during the show on his Twitter page. Singer Danny Koo also attended the concert while testing out the new Samsung Galaxy Fold 7.
4. Hani Fadzil & Muna Bella
If it's anything K-pop related, there's a high chance these two will be there. Known for their love of all things K-pop and K-culture, local radio announcers Hani Fadzil (MIX) and Muna Bella (Era) were both spotted at G-Dragon's weekend concert, with the former even dressing up as the idol himself. Not only did they attend the show, but they also had the opportunity to interview him and film exclusive content for their respective radio stations, something fans can certainly look forward to once it's released.
5. Bosco Wong
Hong Kong actor Bosco Wong was reportedly spotted at G-Dragon's concert in KL as well. Fans recognised the star in what appeared to be the VIP section, despite him wearing a hat and face mask to keep a low profile. It was also rumoured that other Hong Kong artists, including Michael Tao, Joel Chan and Kelly Fu, were present at the Kuala Lumpur concert, although this has yet to be confirmed.
6. Jeannie Hsieh
Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jeannie Hsieh posted a video on Instagram that she indeed attended the G-Dragon concert in KL over the weekend. The 50-year-old filmed herself outside the venue before the doors opened while wearing the 'Übermensch' cap.

Photo:Ji Seung-hyun/Instagram Korean actor Ji Seung-hyun, who recently starred in the hit series Good Partner opposite Jang Na-ra, is in Malaysia for the 8th Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFFest). He will be one of the presenters at the festival's awards ceremony tonight (July 26), co-presenting an award with Malaysian actress Lin Min Chen. During a press meet today at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur, the 43-year-old shared that he had just arrived in the early hours of the morning and hadn't had much sleep. 'I only got to my hotel around 4am. It's my first time here, so honestly, I don't even know exactly where I am yet,' he said with a smile. Still, he expressed excitement about exploring the city and sampling local cuisine during his visit. 'I've tried satay and nasi goreng in Indonesia before, but not in Malaysia,' he said, wondering if the taste is similar here. 'I'd love to try laksa too. I really enjoy trying local food whenever I travel, so I'm definitely looking forward to that.' Aside from presenting at the awards, The Worst of Evil star is also in town to speak about his next project, Bluefish , produced by Malaysian film producer Joanne Goh, the founder of MIFFest. The Pan-Asian collaboration, directed by Lee Sang-hoon and starring Ji in the lead role, is scheduled to begin filming in September. Ji recalled meeting Goh at another regional film festival. 'I was at the Tarang Asian Film Festival to introduce my new film, My Friend Is A Murderer. That's where I met Joanne. She's also the investor and distributor for my next project, and it was actually our first time meeting in person. 'She suggested I come to MIFFest – so this trip came together quite suddenly.' Although he hasn't had the chance to watch any of the festival's films yet, Ji believes collaborations between countries are incredibly meaningful. 'I'd love to return next year for MIFFest.' He also expressed hope to work on a Malaysian production in the future. 'Actually… how about a love story between Malaysia and Korea? That way, I can be in it too,' he said.
