(Video) My Chemical Romance To Return To Malaysia? Fans Notice Mysterious Billboard Ads In KL

Ever since My Chemical Romance (MCR) reunited to headline the When We Were Young music festival in Las Vegas last year, Malaysian fans have been manifesting the band's return to Kuala Lumpur. The last time they performed here was back in 2007 at Stadium Merdeka, where over 10,000 fans sang along to their songs at the top of their lungs.
Previously, there have been hints that local concert organisers were working to bring the Grammy-nominated band back to our shores, but until now, nothing had been confirmed. That is, until fans recently began noticing something unusual projected onto billboards around the city. Here's what they saw:
Over the weekend, a fan posted on both his TikTok and Twitter accounts about something he encountered while out in Bukit Bintang. In the video, he captured a large digital billboard above the McDonald's outlet briefly displaying the words 'Malaysia, are you okay?' alongside an image of a rose, before switching back to the regular advertisements.
Another internet user spotted the same mysterious display on a digital billboard at the side of the road in Bangsar. For context, the rose is strongly associated with MCR, having appeared in the band's merchandise and music videos. With this in mind, the cryptic billboard ads have led many to believe that the 'Welcome to the Black Parade' artists could be performing in Malaysia later this year or in 2026.
Many MCR fans reacted to the videos with hopeful excitement, saying they've been waiting nearly two decades for the band's return. Others remain sceptical, speculating that it might be a tribute concert rather than the real thing. A few have suggested that the ads may have nothing to do with MCR at all, noting that the rose alone isn't definitive proof.
However, some of the biggest hints pointing to a potential concert include the fact that the band will be embarking on their North American tour, raising the possibility of dates being added in other regions. Warner Music Malaysia have also been sharing nostalgic throwbacks to MCR's music on its Instagram account, drawing more interest.
Do you think the group will be coming to Malaysia? We can only hope so. Guess we'll have to wait and see if the rumours are true.

'Imagine How He Treats Her In Private' – Foreigner Takes Rosyam Nor's Viral Video Out Of Context

Subscribe to our FREE Earlier this month, a video showing a 'domestic dispute' going down in a supermarket went viral on social media. It turns out, the video was just part of a marketing gimmick by ST Rosyam Mart, a chain of markets owned by actor and television host Rosyam Nor. Meanwhile, social media influencer Some viewed the marketing stunt as distasteful, as it displayed what could be seen as domestic abuse. Others thought it was insensitive towards couples who were going through real problems in their household. A foreigner saw the video and took it out of context While the incident has been debunked as a viral stunt here, enter Dahlia Kurtz. Describing herself as a 'Jew. Grandchild of Holocaust survivors' on Twitter, she posted the video yesterday, captioned: 'If her husband acts like that in public, imagine how he treats her in private.' Twitter users were quick to add context to the post, which now appears at the bottom to inform those who stumble upon her tweet that the video was just a marketing stunt. Malaysians jumped in, lamenting how Rosyam's gimmick is now painting Islam in a bad light Tengoklah.. Dah jadi fitnah kepada agama dah.. Gimik kepala otak Rosyam Noor..🤔 — JalalMisai (@jllmisai) Many in the comments section blamed the video for spreading a poor image of Islam and providing 'ammunition' to foreigners to criticise the religion even more. A user also highlighted how, in the video, the male actor was throwing food items from his 'wife's' shopping trolley, which can be perceived as disrepectful and being ungrateful towards resources that we have. Another individual warned others to be careful when creating content that could be used to spread negativity or slander upon religion. The video was meant to highlight the market's affordable prices To give an idea of what the marketing stunt was meant to communicate, the actors were 'fighting' over their shopping at ST Rosyam Mart. The man was supposedly angry that his wife was spending too much at the market, while she told him that she never gets to shop. Giving in to his anger, he hurled items from the shopping trolley and eventually flipped the entire cart on its side, spilling everything on the ground. Later, the couple 'met' Rosyam on the way out and he tried to 'settle' the dispute before telling them that his mart offers some of the cheapest prices in Malaysia, and gave a guarantee to the man that shopping there will not drive him to the poor house. What do you think of this marketing stunt? Was it effective and entertaining? Or was it done in poor taste? READ MORE: Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

(Video) The Funny Reason Why Local Emcee Hani Fadzil Introduced GOT7's Bambam To Her Husband

Many of our local emcees and hosts have become close acquaintances with the international celebrities they've worked with for events. Radio announcer Hani Fadzil is one of those hosts, and she recently shared an adorable interaction between GOT7 (갓세븐) member Bambam (뱀뱀) and her husband. Last week, Hani flew to Bangkok, Thailand, to host an event featuring GOT7 member Bambam. The emcee revealed that the K-pop idol and his team had personally asked her to host the gig, noting their great chemistry because Hani had hosted several events for Bambam in Malaysia. The event went smoothly, and the 33-year-old received lots of praise for her hosting skills and on-stage interactions with Bambam. However, the most adorable interaction came after the event when Hani officially introduced Bambam to her husband, Faiz. In her Twitter post, she wrote, 'Finally got to officially introduce my husband to Bambam backstage! He was very welcoming, and it felt like we were long-time friends. Thanks, BamBam, for always being so warm and humble. See you next time!'. As it turns out, the meeting was long in planning. It all started in 2023 when Bambam learned about Hani and Faiz's marriage during his concert press conference in Kuala Lumpur. The Thai star even went viral for his humorous reaction. However, from then on, Bambam would bring up Hani's husband every time they met in person. Even during the recent event in Bangkok, the singer joked that he and Faiz would one day become best friends. Many fans and netizens have reacted to Bambam and Faiz's long-awaited meeting, cooing over the interaction. Some quipped that Hani and Bambam had gotten close enough for the emcee to introduce her family to the idol. Others also joked that Hani should worry because Bambam will 'steal' her husband now that they've met. On the other hand, some wished Bambam and Faiz all the best in their growing friendship. It's heartwarming to see Hani and Bambam grow closer over the years, and we hope to see them working together again soon. As for Bambam and Faiz, we also hope they'll become the best of friends. Check out Bambam and Faiz's meeting below and a compilation video of all the times Bambam has mentioned Faiz: Sources: Twitter, TikTok (1)(2) What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0
