'Waiting for Rising Sunnnnn!' These are the sacred phrase that all Malaysian Cassiopeia yearned to hear it LIVE for the past 6 years. 'Today...Malaysia's history starts here'! Soon after U-Know Yunho finished saying these words, loud screams were heard from the red ocean of audience in the Stadium Malawati last Saturday evening, as the Kpop royalty, TVXQ make a stellar comeback for Catch Me LIVE in Kuala Lumpur to heal the yearning hearts of their Malaysian fans.

As the duo flying off from the stage passing through the red ocean of audience with lasers beamed off their hands, they kicking off the concert with 'Rising Sun', triggering memory among the fans as it was the 'sacred' song which rose them to stardom. Quoting the lyrics of their next performance 'Can you believe it', the duo bring out their inner 'rock' image as they sang to Getaway before proceeding with another high energetic dance song, Hey! Don't Bring Me Down and O Jung Ban Hap.

After an electrifying introduction performance, the audience was brought to a magical fantasy garden when gigantic floral emerged at the centre stage while animal mascots hopping around the duo as they sang 'Like A Soap'. The surprises not end there, as two 'airplanes' flying inside the stadium and both 'Captain Yunho and Changmin' ready to pilot the plane and took the audience for a journey with them. It seems like Captain Yunho almost encountered 'turbulence' when his plane failed to land, and without his parachute, he 'jumped off' from his plane as the fans witnessing his brave action in horror. As he safely landed on the centre stage, he continued singing to the song which gained loud cheers from the fans. Wow!!!

As the concert going on as planned, suddenly, the stage was invaded by the ancient warriors full with weapons. Don't panic! Two heroes of the earth, Yunho and Changmin came to save the day...just ensure you did not call the 'Wrong Number' and they'll come to your rescue. What a splendid sword-fighting performance by the duo as they proved yet another surprises for their 'Wrong Number' song.

To lower the 'temperature' inside the stadium, the duo serenading the fans with their oldies ballads set 'Memories, I Never Let Go, Always There and You Always'. To most of the fans who grew up with TVXQ, it brought back memories as the duo harmonized beautifully. As the duo continued to sing 'Unforgettable' fans holding up banners to show their unconditional love towards both of them regardless how many years they have to wait. The duo did mentioned they were worried that fans might forget them since it has been a long time since their last visit and seeing from the crowds response, TVXQ proven to be 'unforgettable' .

Being away from fans for 6 years, Changmin seems can't hide his feelings that he missed them and apologized for the wait, hence dedicating 'Confessions' during his solo, showering the fans with beautiful melodies from the songs to show his appreciation and love towards the fans who were longing to see them. Meanwhile, on the other side, Yunho chose to be sexy and dandy performing Honey Funny Bunny inviting screams from the audience when he did his sexy 'hip thrust' dance move.

The fans also prepared special project for the duo especially when they lightened up purple light-sticks to form a formation of 'Purple Ocean' when they sang 'Purple Line' song. A special VCR from fans, giving messages of encouragement to TVXQ were also played to show their continuous support to both of them. When addressing the fans, both TVXQ and the fans chanted their trademark 'WE ARE T' to symbolize the togetherness between both the idols and fans as ONE entity. In addition, they also performed their other hits such as Catch Me, Why, Humanoids and Mirotic together with their Japanese songs 'Hi Ya Ya, Summer Dream and Sky, for the encore segment before wrapping up with I'll Be There.

Their performance lasted for over 3 hours with almost 27 songs were performed for their comeback in Malaysia after 6 years. As a whole, with more than RM1.5 millions has been invested for this concert, this might be the concert of the year in the Malaysian scene. TVXQ themselves promised that this concert will be an up-close-and-personal experienced for the fans and indeed they lived it to that promise. With a stage that was built closer to fans' seating, a 360 degrees rotating crane, amazing and gigantic props decorating the stage...the return of the Kings after 6 years of waiting seems legitimate. Yunho was also made a promise that they won't let the Malaysian fans waiting that long again and will definitely visit Malaysia soon.
