KUALA LUMPUR/ SINGAPORE, 22 JULY 2015 – MTV has revealed its first wave of performers today with Korea’s favorite K-pop idol female group, Apink and hottest Japanese band, SEKAI NO OWARI to perform for the first time at MTV World Stage Malaysia, which is set to take place at Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon on Saturday, 12 September 2015. Recorded live for global telecast, the one-night only outdoor event is one of the biggest Southeast Asia music nights of the year, which brings multi-genre talents onto a single stage. More acts will be announced in the coming weeks.

“This is our first performance on MTV World Stage. Thank you MTV for inviting us. We are excited about meeting our fans out there and seeing other artists too. We will always try to better ourselves and bring you good music!” – Apink

Greetings from Apink: http://media.mtvnservices.com/embed/mgid:uma:video:mtvasia.com:1221467

“We are thrilled to take part in the MTV World Stage. Our sounds are unique and we look forward to meeting our fans in Malaysia and are excited to see the reaction from the rest of the audience. So come join us at MTV World Stage Malaysia… it’s going to be a spectacular show in Kuala Lumpur!” – SEKAI NO OWARI

Greetings from SEKAI NO OWARI: “http://media.mtvnservices.com/embed/mgid:uma:video:mtvasia.com:1221500

SEKAI NO OWARI means ‘end of the world’. Armed with an unusual name matching their unique sounds which leave a lasting impression both visually and musically, SEKAI NO OWARI is currently one of the most popular and skilled creative groups in Japan. Comprised of four members: sound producer, lead guitarist and band leader, Nakajin; lead vocal and concept maker, Fukase; stage producer and pianist, Saori; and DJ LOVE, the clown masked DJ in charge of sounds choice and comedic talk, SEKAI NO OWARI is ready to take their originality to music fans in Southeast Asia for the first time.

Apink is currently one of the most idolized K-pop girl groups formed by A Cube Entertainment in 2011. Known for their sweet and innocent image and street style that has captivated fans around the world, the award-winning group consists of Park Cho-rong, Yoon Bo Mi, Jeong Eun-ji, Son Na Eun, Kim Nam Joo, Oh Ha Young.

Apink made a comeback with the recent release of their second album in three years, “Pink MEMORY” and title track “Remember” on 16 July. Within a day, they topped all the major Korean music charts, including MelOn, the biggest music streaming site in Korea, positioning them well to be one of the hottest this summer.

MTV World Stage Malaysia 2015 is presented by Sunway and supported by Tourism Malaysia. In Malaysia, it is ignited by Xpax, brought to you by Brickfields Asia College, Watsons Malaysia and supported by local broadcast partner, Astro. The show will premiere on MTV in Asia on Saturday, 26 September at 1.30pm (TH/WIB), 2.30pm (PH/SG) and 3.30pm (MY), Saturday, 10 October at 9pm (JP) and Sunday, 11 October at 12am (KR).

APINK

Apink started in 2011 with Son Na Eun, who was featured in Beast’s “Soom”, “Beautiful” and “Niga Jeil Joha” music videos in late 2010. Park Cho-rong, who appeared at the end of Beast’s “Shock” Japanese music video, joined next, as the group’s leader. This led to the addition of Oh Ha Young and Jeong Eun-ji, where the latter was introduced through a video of her singing a rendition of Jennifer Hudson’s “Love You I Do”. The final two members, Yoon Bo Mi and Kim Nam Joo, were introduced through the group’s reality show, Apink News.

The group has since gone on to release five Korean extended plays and one studio album. In April 2011, Apink released their first extended play (EP), “Seven Springs of Apink”, and performed a song from it, “Mollayo”, on Mnet’s M! Countdown. In the same year, they also released their first digital single, “It Girl” and a second EP, “Snow Pink”. Their rise was quickly recognized when they were awarded the “Best New Female Artist” at the 13th Mnet Asian Music Award and the “Idol Music Rookie Award” at the 19th Republic of Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards in the same year.

Over the last four years, the group has fast-tracked their success. In 2012, they released their first album, “Une Annee” and two digital singles, “April 19” and “Bubibu”. Their third EP was released in 2013, “Secret Garden” in 2014, they released their fourth digital single, “Good Morning Baby” and two EPs, “Pink Blossom” and “Pink Luv”, where the latter was released in November 2014 and was #1 on Gaon’s weekly album chart. In the same year, Apink released their first Japanese-language single, “NoNoNo” in October 2014.

The group has also performed live and on TV shows, including some members appearing on TV drama series.

The girl group popularity is clearly acknowledged well in the industry. With more than 20 music awards and more than 25 music program awards under the belt, their accolades have included “Best Newcomer Artist” at the 26th Golden Disk Awards, “Newcomer Award” at the 21st Seoul Music Awards, “Hot Performance Award” at the 3rd Gaon Chart K-pop Awards and the “Top 10” at the SBS Music Awards last year.

SEKAI NO OWARI

The hottest Japanese band started at a live music venue called club EARTH, which they created and managed on their own. They all lived there together creating music and discussing the future of the group. They even tore down the old walls to put up soundproof walls around the venue. Today, their passion and deep connection to each other has led to their status as one of the premier music acts in Japan.

Evolving at an incredible speed, most recently, they worked with Dan the Automator, an American hip hop producer (producer of Gorillaz’s debut album), and released the soundtrack, “ANTI-HERO”, the theme song for the highly-anticipated Japanese live-action movie, “Attack on Titan” last week. The movie will be released around the world in August (Part 1) and September (Part 2). “Attack on Titan” originated from the manga series, which has sold over 40 million copies in Japan since 2009.

SEKAI NO OWARI released their newest album, “Tree” in January 2015, which peaked at #1 on the Japan (Oricon) albums chart, which was also certified 2x Platinum sales in Japan after a month of its release. On 18-19 July, they performed a sold-out two-day show, “Twilight City” to about 140,000 fans at the Nissan Stadium, Japan’s largest venue.

Their originality and unique ideas are portrayed through “Tokyo Fantasy”, a concept that is of a large-scale fantasy, making attending the band’s live performances feel like a theme park, transporting fans to a completely different reality. This concept has been lauded all around the Japanese music industry.

In 2014, they held a major live music event which featured the popular American act OWL CITY as a special guest. Concurrently, SEKAI NO OWARI was featured in OWL CITY’s worldwide release“TOKYO”. They have also worked with renowned Dutch DJ/ Producer Nicky Romero on the release of their English single, “Dragon Night”.

In 2013, they released “RPG,” which has reached more than 73 million views on YouTube. In the same year, they performed their first outdoor live event, “Fire and Forest Carnival” to 60,000 fans over a 3-day period. Over the past four years, they have been consistently recognized in the Japanese music industry.

Singapore, 21 July 2015 – Dal Shabet, one of K-pop’s most popular girl groups and more than a dozen Mediacorp’s hottest stars and deejays will be performing at the Nanyang Technological University’s fiesta at the Marina Bay Promontory next month.

Open to the public, the free concert on 29 August is part of NTU Fest 2015, the university’s biggest student-run event. Comprising a day-long carnival, charity run and evening concert, the mega event marks the start of NTU’s new academic year and is part of the university’s celebration of the nation’s Golden Jubilee.

Dal Shabet is slated to perform some of their most popular songs at NTU Fest, including Joker, the title track from their latest EP Joker Is Alive, which has swiftly garnered more than 4.4 million views on YouTube since April this year.

The group is thrilled to perform in Singapore. They were first here in 2011 to make their maiden overseas appearance at Singapore’s Korean Music Wave concert.

Dal Shabet said, “University life holds our best memories of school, especially when we attend live concerts and have fun together. We’re very excited to be in Singapore performing for such a meaningful event and we will do our best to put up a good show for all our fans here. We hope everyone will come and support NTU Fest!”

President of the NTU Students’ Union, Ms Wu GuoYi, who initiated the first mega event last year, said, “We are really excited to have such high-powered celebrities devoting their time and talents to NTU Fest. This will certainly inspire our fellow student performers and volunteers to give their best. With a constellation of K-pop stars and MediaCorp artistes entertaining the crowd, this year’s NTU Fest concert will be an evening to remember.”

Platinum Media Partner MediaCorp contributes talents to NTU Fest

Launching the concert in the evening is Mr Heng Swee Keat, Minister for Education and Chairman of the Singapore50 (SG50) Steering Committee, who is expected to perform a National Day song, joined by the finalists of this year’s The Final 1.

Three of the Eight Dukes of Caldecott Hill – Shane Pow, Jeffrey Xu, and Zhang Zhen Huan – will add their star power for the occasion.

Elvin Ng, Jeffrey Xu and Zhang Zhen Huan, who are also among the cast of Channel 8’s new drama serial, Sealed with a Kiss, will be joined by award-winning actress Rebecca Lim on stage.

The young cast of Channel 5 drama, Tanglin, including Nat Ho, Eswari Gunasagar, Elfaeza Ul Haq, Charlie Goh and Jae Liew will also be sharing the spotlight with their Channel 8 counterparts.

With at least 199 episodes in the works, Tanglin is MediaCorp TV Channel 5’s first long-form English drama that centres on the lives of multi-racial and multi-generational families living in a middle income neighbourhood. This will be the first time that fans can get up close with the stars from the TV series since the show started last month.

Hosting the concert that evening are 987FM’s radio deejays Gerald Koh and Joakim Gomez, hosts of the zany show, The Bro Code. The 987FM Radio Star finalists will also be taking the stage.

“Music and performance have the power to bring people across generations and communities together, and we are delighted to support the NTU Fest through the participation of our artistes and personalities,” said Mr Lai Mun Dart, Head, Youth Segment, MediaCorp. “This is also an opportunity for us to support NTU students in a major initiative they are running. We’re truly impressed by their ideas, energy and drive to put together a great event for the community in a very special year for the nation.”

In addition to the Korean and MediaCorp stars, homegrown band District 12 will also be performing that evening.

Carnival promises fun for all

Earlier in the afternoon, Education Minister, Mr Heng Swee Keat will flag off the 500m kid’s run.

The carnival booths run by NTU students and vendors feature a variety of cuisines, games and fun activities for all ages.

The Straits Times, the event’s Gold Media Partner, will also have a booth at the NTU Fest carnival.

NTU students will also showcase their diverse creativity and talent on stage in the afternoon, alongside local pop bands ORANGECOVE and The Paragoei.

This is the second year that NTU Fest is being organised. Last year’s inaugural event at the Padang was a success, attracting more than 8,000 people and featured a slew of MediaCorp artistes and headline acts – K-pop stars Running Man’s Kang Gary and singer Jung In.

Getting to know more about BTS before their upcoming concert in Hong Kong

BTS wants to take up the challenge of acting in Hong Kong martial arts movie? Read on to find out more! (Photo provided by: JACSO Entertainment)

14 July 2015, Hong Kong – BTS will be holding their last stop of their ‘2015 BTS Live Trilogy in Hong Kong: Episode II. The Red Bullet’ world tour at Hong Kong’s Asia World Expo, Arena on the 29^th of August this year. Since it is BTS’ first solo concert in Hong Kong, the organisers, Sun Entertainment Culture (太陽娛樂) and JACSO Entertainment (加秀娛樂) have decided to let everybody know more about them through an exclusive interview.

When asked about what they would like to do in Hong Kong, Rap Monster, Suga and Jungkook mentioned that they are excited about the food in Hong Kong, especially the street food. They added that they have heard that Hong Kong is a food paradise and are really excited to try out the food when they are there. Suga exclaimed that he would like to eat Hong Kong fishballs (魚蛋) while Jungkook commented that he wanted to learn Wing Chun (a type of Chinese martial arts) from his idol, Donnie Yen (甄子丹 – a very famous Hong Kong actor; Martial arts artiste). Jungkook: “Donnie Yen is my idol, he is really handsome and cool!”. We do hope that he will have the chance to learn Wing Chun from Donnie Yen one day!

It is a well known fact that BTS can dance and sing well; are there any type of drama or variety shows that the BTS members are interested in and would like to attempt? Jimin immediated responded that he wants to try acting and all the members were very supportive of him. V and Jungkook mentioned that if they were given the chance, they would like to participate in a Hong Kong martial arts movie and assured that they will do their best in it.

It is BTS’ first solo concert in Hong Kong, but it is not their first visit as they have been there for MAMA. All the members stated that Hong Kong fans are very enthusiastic and Suga added on saying: “Especially the overflowing love from Hong Kong fans. It made me wonder why Hong Kong is the last stop of this tour? We should have come here earlier!”. Jin also conveyed that there were many Hong Kong fans who went to Seoul for their fansigns and that made him want to meet Hong Kong fans as soon as possible; and to perform for them.

All the members are born after the year 1990 and even though there is still some years before they all turn 25, what would be some goals or wishes they would like to accomplish before they turn 25? Regarding this question, the eldest member, Jin, said that he wants to travel with the members while he is still young, fit and healthy. With this, all the members agreed with this suggestion and stated that it has been a long time since they had the time to play/travel around.

The members seemed really close with one another and it is a surprise that they did not know each other before they formed BTS. The members added that they had a deep impression of V. Jin and Suga then teased V saying that in the past, V was very tanned and jokingly asked if he was wearing dark-brown socks today. Rap Monster comforted V by saying, “The reason why we have been improving is because of V!”. Jimin, the last member who joined BTS, said that he did not really have friends initially and added, “Thanks to V’s care and concern, I was able to adapt and be comfortable quickly so I am very grateful to him”. When asked about if they were awkward with one another when they stayed in the dorm together, they recalled that they were not awkward with each other but what really bothered them then were the number of mosquitoes in the dorm. Jin recalled: “It was the first time that I have seen so many mosquitoes, it was terrible.” Suga: ‘It was like a mosquito breeding ground!“.

BTS had debuted for 2 years and have been gaining popularity and recognition. To those who do not know who is BTS, how would you introduce yourself to them? J-Hope: “希望哥 (which literally means Hope Brother)”. Jimin: “Chim Chim”. Rap Monster: “Rap Mon!”. Jungkook would introduce himself using his original name, while Jin confidently said, “帥人 (which literally means handsome human’).” Suga: “閔Suga 天才 (which means Min Suga Genius).”. V: “V最型 (which means V-the-most fashionable)”. All the members of BTS were very interested in learning Cantonese and even asked the translator to teach them words such as ‘pretty girl’ and ‘I love you’. Hopefully they would be able to make use of what they have learnt during the concert!

專訪BTS : 最想挑戰香港武術電影

BTS 將於8月29日在香港亞洲博覽館Arena展開「2015 BTS LIVE TRILOGY IN HONG KONG: EPISODE Ⅱ. THE RED BULLET」世界巡迴演唱會尾站。

由於今次是BTS首次到港舉行個唱，主辦單位太陽娛樂及加秀娛樂將帶大家深入探討BTS！

BTS首次到香港舉行個唱，問到最想到香港做什麼？Rap Monster､Suga同Jungkook最為食，他們表示知道香港是環球美食之都，最期待的莫過於歎盡所有街頭美味！ Suga更興奮表示勁想食魚蛋。Jungkook就貪心小小，他表示好想到香港跟甄子丹學詠春：「甄子丹是我偶像，他真的很帥！」期待Jungkook 拜甄子丹為師的一天！BTS能歌善舞就眾所周知，但戲劇及綜藝成員又想嘗試哪種類型呢？Jimin馬上表示想挑戰演戲，成員們都十分支持！而V及Jungkook都表示：「如果有機會真想參演香港的武術電影，一定會盡力做到最好！」

雖然第一次到香港舉行演唱會，但其實BTS上年都踏足過香港參與MAMA頒獎典禮。成員們表示香港人都很熱情，Suga補充說：「特別是粉絲們給予的愛，令我不禁在想為什麼會將香港定為最後一站呢？應該一早就該來了！」Jin 同時表示：「首爾簽名會知道很多香港粉絲都有去，令我更想快點跟大家見面，讓大家看到帥氣的舞台！」成員們嘴巴真是很甜呀！

作為全員都是90後的團隊，雖然有些成員與25歲還有點距離，但他們最想25歲前實現到什麼夢想？年齡最大的成員Jin最想趁年輕跟成員們一起去郊遊。大家都附和說是時候要去了，也很久沒有去玩。成員們感情都很好，但原來組成團隊之前大家都互不相識的。後來才加入防彈少年團的V表示未加入前覺得真是一隊很帥的組合。但其他成員似乎對V有特別的深刻印象，Jin及Suga取笑他當時皮膚真的很黑，並開玩笑：「今天是不是穿了啡色絲襪？」Rap Monster 則安慰V說：「有了V的加入才有這樣的進步！」而更遲加入BTS的Jimin一開始時沒有什麼朋友，他說：「全靠V的照顧令我可以很快適應，所以很感謝！」自從一起展開了宿舍生活後，令成員們感到最困擾的不是與某成員尷尬，而是宿舍很多蚊。Jin很無奈表示：「這是我出生以來第一次見到那麼多蚊的屋，簡直是地獄。」Suga說：「根本就是蚊子孵化場！」場面相當搞笑。

出道雖然短短兩年，但認識BTS的人都愈來愈多。如果對於一些不認識BTS的歡眾，成員們會用什麼來介紹自己呢？J-Hope馬上用中文介紹自己叫“希望哥“。而Jimin稱自己做“Chim Chim“。Rap Monster是”Rap Mon”簡單易記！Jungkook則認為還是叫他本來的名字比較好。Jin似乎是最有自信的叫大家稱呼他為“帥人“。Suga及V分別用廣東話說自己是”閔Suga 天才“及”V最型“。成員們都很好學，乘機向翻譯偷學了幾句廣東話，分別是“靚女“及“我愛你”等等，希望到時可以對粉絲們說！
