GDragon Bring the house down despite the Haze

It was a night to remember. Despite haze, Gdragon and his guest Taeyang were not disturbed by current weather. Held at Stadium National Bukit Jalil (which is open stadium), just like their Bigbang concert last year which they also had in an open stadium. And not to forget this is the first ever Gdragon concert was held at open stadium.I guess it only happen in Malaysia:)....

For almost 2 hours GD sang most of his popular songs such as Heartbreaker, Crayon, Breath, Obsession, She's gone, Michigo and not to forget from Bigbang songs Bad Boy and Fantastic Baby. Taeyang came out as an guest artist with his songs Where u at and Break Down.

Without further due here are all the snapshots taken during the concert....

 

Special thanks to RITS for the awesome concert and pictures.

Friends turn Rivals in Only Because It's You on ONE HD!

Friends turn Rivals in Only Because It’s You on ONE

Malaysia, 6 June 2013 – Every once in a while, we bump into friends that we have not met in ages and find much have changed. Yet he or she brings back a familiar part of our past, whether pleasant or otherwise, and the unexpected reunion can open up a new chapter of the friendship, and sometimes even more than that.

ONE’s upcoming South Korean drama series Only Because It’s You plays out such an interesting scenario as a lot happens after a trio of high school girl friends reunite in their mid-thirties – in fact 117 episodes trace their rekindled friendship that turns into a rivalry in life and love.

Premiering on 17 June airing from Mondays to Fridays at 10.10pm, in dual sound, first and exclusively on ONE, Only Because It’s You is a drama series that follows the joys and sorrows of reunited high school friends Kang Jin Joo, Yang Soo Bin and Yoon Gong Ja who once bravely skipped school together in the face of impending examinations.

Fast-forward 18 years, Yoon Hae Young (Love and Ambition) plays Jin Joo who is now married to Chun Myung Han (Park Hyuk Kwon, Deep Rooted Tree), has a bright and sweet young daughter, but has to work hard alongside her husband as colleagues in the same company.

In contrast, Soo Bin, played by Yoon Ji Min (Warrior Baek Dong Soo), has married into a well-to-do family, but is in an unhappy marriage that is already on the rocks. On the other hand, Gong Ja (Fashion King) is still unable to make up her mind about love and offers much of a comic relief in the series.

Afraid to be judged by each other, the trio of friends pretend that all is well and encourage each other. But when Soo Bin’s marriage eventually heads for a divorce, envy drives her to tempt Jin Joo’s husband. Soo Bin’s ex-husband Ji Hwan, (Lee Jae Hwang, Smile, Mom), will try to foil her attempt to steal Jin Joo’s husband. Things are never the same again for the three friends…

Only Because It’s You debuted in South Korea as a successful long running morning primetime drama series. It was directed by Shin Kyung Soo who was also part of the team behind the hit drama series Deep Rooted Tree.

Just as the chance reunion of old friends in Only Because It’s You looks far from being a blessing for Jin Joo, Soo Bin and Gong Ja, their friendship-turned-rivalry and struggles of life make for great emotive drama that comes to you this June only on ONE, the gem of Asian entertainment.

Only Because It’s You premieres on 17 June 2013

Airing from Mondays to Fridays at 10.10pm in dual sound

First and exclusively on ONE HD (Astro B.yond ch393)

• Brand new features to allow immense customisations according to user preferences, including LINE character themes and social-oriented user interface on Official Accounts
• Added security features to provide users a safe and convenient personal mobile space

Kuala Lumpur, May 29, 2013 – LINE, the world's leading mobile messenger, announced the launch of 3.7.0 update for Android and iOS smartphones. The new 3.7.0 version demonstrates LINE’s constant pursuit of advancement as a mobile messenger that provides users with a more personalised experience.

With the 3.7.0 update, users can customise their messenger interface with various themes. A Cony theme is available in the new version with other themes to be released in various phases, including the ones based on other LINE characters such as Brown. LINE has also infused social-oriented user interface to its previously chat-based-only Official Accounts to enable users to browse and share content more interactively. Without having to add any Official Accounts as friend, users have been granted access to preview the Home and Profile Page. Once added as a friend, all content on the Official Accounts can be posted on each user’s Timeline.

The new 3.7.0 version also comes with an added security feature that further augments user’s personalised experience. Users can now conveniently block or report other unknown users and hence avoiding unsolicited messages or suspicious group invitations. The added safety feature demonstrates LINE’s endeavors in taking one step ahead to address the increasing mobile internet conundrum, especially spam to ensure that mobile experience is kept to user’s personal space.

Beyond the new features, LINE has also raised the level of convenience for the application.

The joyful communication experience on LINE can also be enjoyed at the office or home with the recently upgraded PC messenger available for Windows and Mac OS X.

A Date with Zo In Sung.

Zo In Sung, the leading actor of drama That Winter, The Wind Blow held his first fan meeting in Kuala Lumpur on 21.5.2013. The tall and good looking actor looks fresh despite having entertained 2 groups of reporters before us. Contrary to his acting in melodramatic role, he is actually a fun and cheeky person and greeted us with smiles. He literally oozes with charm and wins all the ladies’ heart in that room.

During the half hour session, he answered around 30 questions thrown to him from the floor ranging from his 8 years absence, his role in the drama, the fan meeting and even to his beauty regime and he answered them in good nature.

After the last drama Spring Days in 2005, Zo In Sung finally makes a comeback in the drama That Winter, The Wind Blow alongside the beautiful and gifted actress Song Hye Kyo. The drama was a huge success and was the no 1 show among all international show in Astro Channel.

He never anticipated that the drama will be a huge success but he had feelings that it will be a good drama when he saw the script and the people involved in it and not to mention working with his favourite actress; Song Hye kyo. He described her to be a very beautiful and talented actress.

During the interview, he confessed that the character has some similarities with him and it was hard to let go of the character after living with it for almost 5 months. Being the first drama 8 years on hiatus, he gave his all for this drama and held meeting with the scriptwriter and the director as well as the original Japanese writer for him to better understand the character Oh Soo.

When asked about what is his expectation during the fan meeting which was held later in the evening, he cheekily replied that he knows that he at least have 13 fans because he only saw 13 fans waiting for him at the airport.

The fan meeting was held at the Upper Atrium of Paradigm Mall on the same days. As many as 5,000 fans were waiting to meet him.  He made his appearance around 8.00pm and he seems a bit awed and overwhelmed to be greeted by so many fans. It is definitely more than 13 people.

A few fans got selected to re-live the cotton candy scene and he selected the best pair and one lucky girl had the chance of her life; eating cotton candy with him! He was cheeky and suave at the same time and constantly waving and smiling in every direction. Though the session was a bit short, he leaves a great impression and a sweet memory for the fan.

Astro OneHD is currently running the rerun starting from 1 June 2013, every Saturday and Sunday at 3.15pm.
