The one and only Jay Park (박재범) was recently in Malaysia for his “Serenades & Body Rolls” tour. The concert took place at Zepp KL on 14th June, and prior to the performance, we had the opportunity to chat with the singer about his latest album, “The One You Wanted”.
The KL concert proved to be a huge success, with many moments from the show going viral on social media. Since plenty happened both onstage and backstage, here are some of our personal favourite highlights:
Twerking with DOLLA
@zeta36802 Mommae mild ver only in MY 🤣🤣🤣 with #Dolla #JayPark #SerenadesAndBodyRolls #mommae #mommaejaypark
As you may know, Jay Park invited Malaysian girl group DOLLA as one of his guest artists to perform at his show. The trio joined him onstage during “MOMMAE”, where they and the idol twerked to the song, and, as you can hear from the video above, fans went wild.
“MWA” Challenge with DOLLA
@dollaofficial One MWA! 💋 with @Jay Park (박재범)
Not only did DOLLA go viral for their twerking performance with Jay Park onstage, but backstage, the group also managed to get the singer to take part in their “MWA” dance challenge. The 38-year-old performed a simplified version of the challenge with the members, but it was more than enough to get fans excited about the unexpected collaboration.
3. Yuna made a surprise appearance
@flyfm
It turns out Jay invited someone other than Joe Flizzow and DOLLA to join him at his KL concert. Fans screamed with excitement when singer-songwriter Yuna made a surprise appearance, joining the K-pop idol onstage to perform their 2019 duet, “Does She”. The performance instantly went viral on social media, with many expressing that their dream of seeing the duo perform the song live had finally come true.
4. “Dah Makan Ke Belum?” & “Aku Cina Kamu”

Of course, whenever an international star visits or performs in Malaysia, they often try to learn a few phrases in the national language. Some fans taught the idol how to say “Have you eaten?” in Malay, and many were delighted to see him making the effort, even if he struggled a little with the pronunciation. Another moment that went viral was when he meant to say “Aku cinta kamu” to his fans, but accidentally said “Aku Cina kamu” instead — much to the amusement of many, who found the honest mistake endearing.
5. “I Love Fat Ass Too”
You can always count on fans to bring creative (and sometimes unhinged) signs or placards to their favourite artist’s concert. One fan probably had the best night ever after Jay Park noticed their sign and asked if he could show it to the audience. As seen in the video above, the sign read, “I love a fat ass too,” a cheeky reference to his song “Need To Know”. He then joked to the crowd about how deep the lyrics are and expressed surprise that no one was crying while listening to it.
Which was your favourite moment from the show?
