TAEYANG Lights Up Malaysia with a Yellow Ocean at [THE LIGHT YEAR] Tour
After seven long years, TAEYANG made an epic return to Malaysia with his TAEYANG 2024 TOUR [THE LIGHT YEAR], and the night was absolutely incredible! The concert was full of powerful music, raw emotions, and surprising moments as the K-pop star gave his Malaysian fans, VIPs all the love. From an unexpected version of Sheila Majid’s “Antara Anyer Dan Jakarta” to blowing kisses at plush toys tossed onto the stage, TAEYANG made sure no one would forget this night.
Held at the legendary Axiata Arena, the event sold out completely. The energy inside the arena was sky-high as fans belted out every lyric, sending waves of excitement that TAEYANG could definitely feel. His natural charisma was on full display as he spoke to the crowd in both English and Malay, saying things like “You guys are awesome!” and “Sayang Korang!” which had everyone cheering even louder.
One of the most touching moments of the night was when TAEYANG sang Sheila Majid’s iconic “Antara Anyer Dan Jakarta.” He turned the song into a tribute to his Malaysian fans, rewriting the lyrics to “Antara Seoul dan Malaysia,” and the crowd went absolutely wild. “This is a special treat just for Malaysia,” he said, and it left everyone buzzing with excitement.
TAEYANG’s playful side also shone through during the finale. When a fan threw a plush toy onto the stage, he took it, kissed it, and tossed it back, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Fans eagerly threw their own plush toys, hoping for the same treatment, and TAEYANG happily played along, joking, “Why are there so many teddy bears tonight?”
As the first BIGBANG member to go solo, TAEYANG has built a stunning career with hits like Hot and Rise. His timeless track Eyes, Nose, Lips has earned him multiple “Song of the Year” awards, and his latest song VIBE even made it to the Billboard Hot 100!
The concert wasn’t just about his solo songs. He also treated fans to some BIGBANG classics like LOSER, BANG BANG BANG, FANTASTIC BABY, and WE LIKE 2 PARTY, taking VIPs on a nostalgic trip back to the golden days of the group and hoping for a Bigbang comeback.
For two unforgettable hours, TAEYANG put on a show with 28 powerful performances. From high-energy dance tracks to emotional ballads and even some intimate solo moments, the concert was a true reflection of his passion for music and his fans. The most magical moment came during SEED, when the arena turned into a glowing sea of lights as VIPs held up their phones and lightsticks. It was a beautiful sight of unity and love.
At the end of the night, TAEYANG left the crowd with a heartfelt promise: “I will definitely be back to Malaysia! Please wait for me!”
As the night came to a close, it was clear that TAEYANG’s return to Malaysia was a truly magical experience for both Taeyang and VIPs. The energy, the surprises, and the unforgettable moments will be cherished for years to come.
