(Photos) Korean Band Dragon Pony Shares Snapshots From Recent Visit To Malaysia
Whether it's a solo concert or a music festival, there's nothing quite like seeing your favourite artist perform live on stage in your home country. What's even more exciting is when they take the time to explore the local culture and visit popular tourist spots around the city they're performing in. In recent years, we've seen plenty of K-pop idols sharing vlogs or photos of themselves wandering around Kuala Lumpur and sampling local delicacies. Joining the list of Korean stars doing just that is rock band Dragon Pony (드래곤포니), who recently shared what they got up to during their visit to the capital. In case you missed it, Dragon Pony recently performed in Malaysia as part of the artist line-up for the KBS 2025 ROUND Festival, which took place at Zepp Kuala Lumpur from 21st (Saturday) to 22nd (Sunday) June 2025. The band took to the stage on Day 2 of the event, performing on the same day as Korean singer Paul Kim, who delighted fans with a cover of Anuar Zain's 'Sedetik Lebih'. Over the long weekend, the four-member group shared a video on their Instagram page, showing their excited reaction to receiving what appeared to be a disposable film camera. The clip then cuts to a slideshow of snapshots capturing their time together in Kuala Lumpur. As seen in the photos above, apart from the ROUND Festival itself, some of the shots capture their visit to the Petronas Twin Towers and Pavilion Kuala Lumpur in Bukit Bintang. The band also appeared to enjoy a pizza meal in the city, although the restaurant remains unidentified. Shortly after posting the video and photos on social media, Malaysian fans were thrilled to see Dragon Pony enjoying their time in Kuala Lumpur. Many expressed hopes that the band would return to Malaysia for a solo concert in the future, while others were happy that our country is featured in their social content. Some were wondering if any fans saw or approached the members while they were exploring the city. Dragon Pony have also been uploading vlogs on YouTube from the countries they've performed in recently, so here's hoping they'll share one from their time here in our beloved Malaysia.

(Video) South Korean Singer Paul Kim Covers Anuar Zain's 'Sedetik Lebih' During Recent KL Show
Seeing your favourite K-pop idol perform live in your own country is always exciting. While it's common for artists to greet fans in the local language, it's much rarer—and more special—when they perform a song in that language, showing true respect for the culture. On 22nd June (Sunday), South Korean singer Paul Kim (폴킴) performed at the '2025 ROUND' Festival in Malaysia. Known for his heartfelt ballads, he offered a calming contrast to Dragon Pony's energetic set before him. The songwriter then surprised the audience by covering the popular Malaysian song 'Sedetik Lebih' by Anuar Zain. Known as the 'OST Prince,' Paul Kim, born Kim Tae-hyung (김태형), is a renowned songwriter in the Korean entertainment industry. Since beginning his career in 2014, he has gained recognition for his work on popular K-dramas such as 'Should We Kiss First?' and 'Hotel Del Luna.' His music stands out for its rich blend of R&B, jazz, and emotional lyrics, showcasing a wide musical palette. Recently, he was invited to perform at '2025 ROUND', a festival dedicated to spreading South Korean music across ASEAN countries. This year, Malaysia hosted the event, featuring 14 artists from across the region. As the headline performer on the second day, Paul Kim delivered a memorable set, showcasing a selection of his signature OSTs and beloved songs to the audience. During his performance, the Korean singer made a genuine effort to connect with the local crowd, letting his warm personality shine. One of the night's most memorable moments came as the lights dimmed and soft drums filled the air. The audience cheered as he began singing a segment of Anuar Zain's 'Sedetik Lebih' with clear Malay pronunciation. His emotional delivery and clear vocals showcased his talent beyond language. With that simple yet powerful gesture, the Genie Awards winner left a lasting impression on the Malaysian crowd. His ability to bridge cultures through music made his '2025 ROUND' performance truly unforgettable, securing his place in the hearts of local fans. The positive response from the audience shows how taking the time to learn and sing songs dear to locals' hearts can leave a lasting impact towards an idol.
