No rain can stop Mandopop icon JJ Lin (林俊杰)! The singer recently concluded his long-awaited “Final Lap” concert in Kuala Lumpur, where 50,000 fans sang and danced their hearts out under the pouring rain.
On 10th May (Saturday), JJ Lin performed at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium for his “Final Lap” concert in Kuala Lumpur. The sold-out show is the star’s first local performance in over two years, so it’s no surprise that the crowd was excited throughout the night. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t cooperating, and it started raining heavily halfway through the concert. Some fans pulled out their raincoats and even went into sheltered areas to avoid the downpour.
However, the singer wasn’t going to let the rain stop him, and he braved the weather to continue performing for his fans. At one point, he even shouted out, “I will be with you” to his fans out of gratitude for them standing under the pouring rain to watch him perform. Despite the slippery conditions of the stage, JJ Lin continued running and dancing around the stage, winning over the crowd with his dedication to his performance.
Malaysian singer Rynn Lim (林宇中) was also at the show as the concert’s special guest. The singer sparked laughter when he kneeled in front of JJ Lin, saying he felt guilty about the pouring rain. However, after Rynn promised to “stop” the rain, the downpour gradually subsided, which surprised fans at the stadium. During the concert, the two stars spoke fondly about their friendship and performed their 2020 duet track, “Rose”.
The concert reportedly attracted fans from other countries, including China and Singapore. JJ Lin’s mother was also in attendance, allowing the singer to celebrate Mother’s Day with her in KL. Following the rollercoaster of a show, JJ Lin took to Instagram to share his gratitude for his fans. In his post, the singer wrote, “I was deeply moved by the wave of 50,000 of you – drenched, but still singing and dancing your hearts out.”
The concert surely seemed like a night to remember! We can’t wait for JJ Lin to return to Malaysia – and hopefully, the weather will be kinder when that time comes.
