Yitai Wang’s Malaysian Debut Filled with Heartfelt Moments
On August 29, 2025, Chinese rap sensation Yitai Wang brought his Love Me Later world tour to Malaysia for the very first time. Held at Zepp Kuala Lumpur on Qixi Festival—the Chinese Valentine’s Day—the night was filled with emotion, energy, and even a surprise proposal from the audience.
During his heartfelt performance of “Don’t Be Afraid of Getting Old (别怕变老)”, a fan successfully proposed to their partner, prompting Wang to exclaim with delight:
“Congratulations! Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? I could have invited you up on stage! But I’m glad it worked out beautifully!”
Kicking Off with Rap Bangers and Malay Greetings
The concert opened with a burst of high-energy tracks, including “Time To Be A Man”, “Dagger (匕首)”, and “Rich Forever”, instantly igniting the crowd. Wang greeted fans warmly in Malay, saying *“Apa khabar, terima kasih!”*—a gesture that drew loud cheers.
Though he admitted his voice was slightly hoarse, fans reassured him with chants of support and joined in on crowd-favorite “Head-to-Head (头头是道)”. Wang responded emotionally:
“I may not be in perfect vocal condition tonight, but your energy gives me 10,000% motivation to finish this show strong. Thank you, Malaysia, for this unforgettable night.”
Lan Lao 2-Piece Set” Brings the House Down
Adding to the excitement, Wang introduced his close friend Lan Lao as a surprise guest, praising him for recently becoming the Mandarin artist with the highest monthly listeners on Spotify.
Lan Lao hyped the crowd with “Ba Fang Lai Cai (八方来财)” and “Da Zhan Hong Tu (大展鸿图)”, jokingly referring to his set as the “Lan Lao 2-Piece Set”—prompting a fan to shout “Polo T-shirt!” and sending the rapper into laughter:
“Not talking about clothes, guys!”
Despite having his own show in Kuala Lumpur the same evening, Lan Lao made a special appearance to support Wang, leading to an emotional moment of friendship and mutual respect on stage.
Reading Notes, Sharing Jokes, and Sincere Thanks
In a heartwarming segment, Wang read fan letters from envelopes—only to notice WeChat IDs and phone numbers written outside.
“So direct? Why on the outside?!”* he joked, before learning it was the organizer’s idea.
Moved by the fact that most attendees were seeing him live for the first time, he closed the night by thanking fans on behalf of his entire crew:
“As the first stop of my overseas tour, I’m deeply grateful to all of you for making tonight so special.”
