Recently, the star went viral amongst locals again for one simple gesture. Yesterday (28th July 2025, Monday), the KIIRAS members were spotted at Incheon International Airport, heading to Singapore and Malaysia. Since this is their first overseas schedule since their debut in May 2025, all eyes were on the girls for their airport fashion.

'Oldies but goldies' - Malaysian legendary bands Slam and Exist dazzle the crowd at the super concert at Mega Star Arena
Legends are truly the best in their jobs. And Malaysian legendary bands Slam and Exist proved that with some amazing performances that had the fans rocking the night away at the 'Slam X Exists: Our Journey' concert at the Mega Star Arena during the weekend. More than 5,000 fans packed the venue as they swayed to the sound of the two bands, who were among the Malaysian favourites during the late 80s and 90s. Fans also witnessed the historic moment as both bands shared the stage for the first time, turning the night into a time capsule that reopened memories of their love stories, school days, and youthful moments. Local media and according to Bernama, also reported that the concert proved that both bands are far from over, and the show was a brilliant comeback for both groups. Without any over-the-top gimmick, the concert opened with the songs 'Jesnita' and 'Kembali Merindu', performed as a duet by Zamani and Ezad Lazim, causing the entire hall to erupt with cheers and thunderous applause. Once the opening segment ended, Exists - comprising Ezad, Along (guitar), Musa (bass), Ajai (keyboard) and Ujang (drums) - took over the stage and captivated the audience with a string of their hits, including 'Seperti Dulu', 'Anugerah 2', 'Masih Terserlah Ayumu' and 'Mama Tolonglah Percaya'. However, when 'Percayakan Siti' was performed, the audience seemed to fall under a spell, rising to sing and dance along with Ezad. Ezad also took the opportunity to express gratitude to several key figures who shaped the group's career, including composers Boon Tan and Saari Amri, and Datuk Aziz Bakar, who was formerly with BMG Music. "I'm very proud to be able to sing in front of these great individuals. Thanks to their contributions, Exists remains relevant in the industry. We're also lucky to be able to perform songs they created," he said. After Exists finished their set, Slam took the stage with their iconic ballads including 'Nur Kasih', 'Kurnia', 'Suratan', 'Gerimis Mengundang' and 'Manisnya Rindu', transporting the audience back to the golden era of Malay ballads. The mood turned emotional when Slam vocalist Zamani performed 'Untukmu Ibu' with such deep feeling that it moved the audience to tears. Zamani also recited a prayer for their former manager Johan Aziz, who is currently battling cancer. "We want to express our appreciation to a man who worked tirelessly to bring Slam to this level - Johan Aziz. Let's all pray for his full recovery," he said on behalf of Slam, which also includes Shah (guitar), Eddie (keyboard), Lili (bass) and Man (drums). After nearly three hours, both bands reunited to perform 'Kembali Terjalin' and a 2025 version of 'Alasanmu', before closing the show to endless applause and cheers from fans. "If it still feels like it's not enough, come to our concert in Singapore," Ezad teased before leaving the stage. The two bands will unite again at The Star Theatre on November 29. The KL concert, which lasted more than three hours, was organised by SS Karya Venture and Republic Mokhmah Records.
