We were waiting for the official photog抯 pics to post this long-awaited entry, but can't wait anymore. Not when we've already seen photos of the TVXQ boys at the Anycall Anyband Concert (on Nov 27) AND pics of the band at the Gimpo Airport, Seoul as they were leaving for Japan yesterday! It抯 the Internet age, after all.
[size=85%]TVXQ in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 24!
And so, here抯 a special shout out to all Cassiopeians at the TVXQ Official Thread at Soompi forums. Loads more pictures at the thread, so if you want to see more of the band in action while in Malaysia, as well as fan accounts of the concert, you know where to go.
K-popped! was also at the TVXQ concert on Nov 24. The Korean boyband staged O - The 2nd Asia Tour Concert at Stadium Merdeka, an outdoor venue located right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
Last July, the popular quintet reportedly raised the roof at Bukit Jalil抯 Putra Indoor Stadium, but we weren抰 there to witness the event since we weren抰 K-popped! yet.
Now that we抳e been K-popped!, we made a beeline to watch the Gods Rising from the East in action, and here抯 the lowdown on the concert.
[size=130%]The Good
Cassiopeians rule
The electric energy emanating from TVXQ抯 diehard fans dubbed Cassiopeians was amazing. They unreservedly exhibited their love and support for TVXQ by wearing red shirts and bringing red balloons.

Electric in the air
When two white MPVs (ferrying the boys) sped into the stadium at 7.15pm, the crowd went wild. The electric energy noticeably kicked up a notch and the anticipation and enthusiasm only increased after that.
TVXQ live in Malaysia!
[size=85%]TVXQ's back in town to rock us!
The five boys burst onto the stage at 8.15pm sharp and launched into their very energetic routines. The fans went berserk.
Go Xi-ah, go Xi-ah!
The TVXQ boys were charming but Xiah was clearly the one with charisma and stage presence. Now I know why Samsung chose him for Anyband, he抯 a good choice as he really stands out.
[size=85%]Xiah got wet ala Rain, got up, danced and promptly
slipped and fell twice. He recovered very quickly but here's a
word of advice: 'Don't move around so much after getting soaked, Xiah.'

Xiah抯 solo sequence rocked the stadium, but when it came to the part when he got rained on, the artificial shower onstage reminded me of Rain抯 signature moment during his concert earlier this year.
The two persons sitting on either side of me immediately turned around and almost simultaneously voiced out my exact thoughts. Yes, yes, friends, I know卼hat抯 soRain.
[size=85%]Xiah takes a breather towards the end of the concert after dancing
like there's no tomorrow throughout most of the show.
Apart from that, the dance choreography was pretty repetitive, but Xiah saved the day as he turned out to be one mean dancing machine. Somebody, stop that man before he hurts himself!
Cute Micky
[size=85%]'Yeah, I'm the one in the group who can communicate with fans
in English. Lemme hear you scream!'
The adorable and playful Micky sang Brian McKnight抯 One Last Cry for his solo performance and it was a commendable effort. He was also the member tasked with speaking to the crowd in English and his efforts to do so were much appreciated.

The 21-year-old had a clever way to circumvent the 搉o shirtless
Song selection
And strictly on a personal point of view, I didn抰 enjoy the selection of songs as most of the fast numbers leaned towards the 揾eavy metal
tapi kan aku tak setuju dgn dia ni part venue suks ke apa benda tu semua... sbb stadium tu dah byk konsert besar2 buat kat situ dan aku rasa best dan enjoy jer w/pun aku pun duduk yg rm103... satu lagi takkanlah pegi tgk konsert asyik nak gi toilet... aku kalau boleh taknak bergerak ke mana2 pun.... kekekkeke
