Special Appearance of U-KISS at Twin Towers @live 2013 in Malaysia

U-KISS once again visited Malaysia to perform for the Formula 1 The Twin Tower @live 2013 event held at iconic Petronas Twin Tower on March 22nd 2013, wherein the boys shared the same stage with hot South Korean girl group, 2NE1 and American artistes, Backstreet Boys and Demi Lovato.

The group stated during the press conference, "...when we go to foreign countries to perform, we were on stage with famous stars, but this (upcoming) performances feel different. This will be so much more meaningful because we can stand on the same place as Backstreet Boys, who we really respect. We’re so honored that U-KISS was invited to a place where people all over the world gather, and we’ll put on a great performance as the Korean representatives."

The event started sharp at 5PM with the opening performance from Malaysia's local dance group named Project Elementz with the song remix of G-Dragon's “Crayon” as well as a few well-known English songs. The main emcees for the event were Natalie and Jinny Boy, accompanied with DJ Face. To warm up the stage, Malaysia's very own singer, Atilia performed some of her own songs and some English song covers.

The moment Kiss Me (U-KISS' fans) had been waiting for has arrived as the 7-member boy group heat up the stage with “Neverland”. The crowd went literally crazy! Each member then introduced themselves in English. Soohyun even screamed “What’s up Malaysia!”.

This boy group which debuted in 2008 kept up the energy level with their latest release, “Standing Still” as the song marked the warm welcome for one of their members, AJ after his hiatus where he continued his studies in America. U-KISS felt regretful as they couldn't please their beloved fans by performing all of their songs and so, they decided to sing short parts from their songs from their latest 3rd album, "Collage". Soohyun and Hoon sang “아픔보다 아픈 (More Painful than Pain)” and “Missing You”while Kevin sang his solo song, “My Reason”.

A ballad song of "0330" was performed, followed by “Someday”. U-KISS performed all-time favourite, "ManManHani" as the closing performance of their stage.

Kevin expressed that they would like to come again to Malaysia for their solo concert in future! We'll be anticipating for the boys' next visit! Special thanks to PETRONAS Twin Towers for this awesome event.
