U-KISS Private Fan Meeting in Malaysia : Part 1

In case you dont know who U-KISS is, they're an uprising & hot K-Pop (Korean Pop) sensation which are not only hot looking, but also hot on the charts.

Event was organized by Geneses Dream Entertainment, a ratherly new event company to the scene, but I must say they handled the event very well. It was Daebak! *2 thumbs up*

U-KISS visited Malaysia last Saturday for a private fan meeting and showcase as a part of their Asia tour. They were in the Phillipines before Malaysia, and headed to Singapore 1 day after the fan meeting in Malaysia.

The fan meeting was held in KLCC's Plenary Hall, from 2pm till 5.30pm. With minor glitches here and there, they started slightly behind time, but it was all worth the wait.

Started the day with a U-KISS press conference over in Mandarin Oriental's ballroom, they were staying there if I'm not mistaken. U-KISS confessed that they really love Malaysia and cant wait to come back here for a concert! The press conference was followed up by a Q&A session for all members of the media and press.

Thanks to all the fans, there wasnt any sign of screaming/shouting in the hotel, unlike other fan accounts you've been reading. Very good crowd this time around. Cheers to Malaysian KISS ME's!

The queue to enter the plenary hall started as early as 10.30am! It got longer as time passed, but all members of media, press & VIP didn't have to line up to enter via the special entrance.

At 1.00pm, the gates opened and ticket holders were finally allowed to enter the hall. 8TV Nite Live was there doing a coverage as well, met Moe, Mike & Baki Zainal over there slightly before the event started.

Ryan did a short introduction, said a few words, delayed no more and invited U-KISS out onto the stage. He also mentioned what was in for all the audience that day. Games, autograph sessions, performances & album giveaways.

After a long wait, the boys themselves finally made their way onto the stage!

Eli. Apparently everyone in U-KISS is jealous of him because of his looks! *Info gotten from the press conference, was a joke between the members I assume*
Image00008
Kevin. The nicest & gentle one amongst all!
Image00009
Soo Hyun. The one with the sexiest voice!

Dong Ho. The maknae (youngest member) of U-KISS, 1994-er. Same like me, but he's an international super star already!

Alexander. He was born in Hong Kong, he grew up in Macau, and he's capable of speaking 7 languages!

Ki Seop. The newest member of U-KISS!

Fans were going wild over them, and what's better is, a few lucky guests were chosen to go on the stage for a game session, the prize was a hug from U-KISS themselves! But everyone on the stage got to hug them anyway, win or lose.

Soo Hyun 'yawning' because Kevin was taking too long to choose a lucky guest to play the game.

Kevin dancing to 'Oh!' together with a lucky guest on stage, the pair of bunny ear hairband was a gift from the guest.

Also, after the games session, the MC announced that it was going to be maknae Dong Ho's birthday in a few days, hence the organizers brought a cake out to be celebrated with the rest of the members.
