Earlier this week, K-pop boy band RIIZE (라이즈) shared more content from their visit to Malaysia. In addition to performing their first concert in Kuala Lumpur, the group showed their love and appreciation for the country by wearing “I LOVE KL” T-shirts and visiting the Petronas Twin Towers.
They also teased fans by revealing that they had sampled some local snacks. While the one featured in their latest video doesn’t originate from Malaysia, it is a much-loved treat here, and the clip quickly caught the attention of Malaysian fans. In the video, two of the members can be seen trying out different Twisties flavours. Watch:
Yesterday (Wednesday, 20th August), RIIZE posted a video on their social media pages showing members Wonbin (원빈) and Sohee (소희) playing a game of “guess the Twisties flavour”. In the clip, Wonbin closed his eyes while Sohee fed him the snack, challenging him to identify the flavour. The selection included Cheese, Chicken, Tomato, Korean Spicy and BBQ.
Out of the 5 flavours, Wonbin correctly guessed 3: Cheese, Tomato and BBQ. When it came to their favourites, Wonbin picked Chicken, while Sohee preferred Tomato. The post has since gone viral on social media, drawing a wave of reactions from Malaysians. Many predicted that Twisties sales would rise following the video’s release, while others urged the brand to appoint RIIZE as their new global ambassadors.
Meanwhile, members Shotaro (쇼타로), Eunseok (은석) and Sungchan (성찬) have also gone viral after finally posting a video of themselves taking on DOLLA’s “MWA” dance challenge. Malaysian fans were thrilled to see the K-pop boy band covering a Malaysian girl group’s song, and even DOLLA themselves expressed excitement and gratitude in the comments sections. We wonder if RIIZE will release more content from Malaysia soon. Guess we’ll find out.
