Korean Reggae Duo SKULL & HAHA Performs for the First Time in Malaysia

The Korean music industry for real has indeed rose up an enormous phenomena all around the world. People from all walks of life nowadays really share the same interest in KPOP. KPOP has influenced people in variety aspects. This huge numbers of fans are willing to learn even Korean language, dance moves, memorizing the song's lyrics and many others just to fulfill their passion in KPOP.  Fortunately today on the end of December, Malaysian fans finally may grab their chances to feel and enjoy themselves on another style of Korean music besides the usual KPOP songs, and that is Korean Reggae's music style especially performed by HAHA and Skull. They will bring their fun, unique blend of Korean reggae music and high-energy performance to celebrate the year's end with fans.

HAHA or his real name, Ha Dong Hoon, made his breakout through a Korean variety show, Running Man. Running Man has brought him into a world of fame and made his name being spoken as Haroro by his fans from all around the world. He has been a cast member of that highly popular Korean variety show since 2010 and "Infinite Challenge" since 2005. On 30 December 2011, HAHA even received the "Best Entertainer Award" at the 2011 SBS Entertainment Awards for his outstanding performance in the show. 'Running Man' is not only a hit variety program in Korea, it has also taken other parts of Asia by storm. The program currently goes on air regionally on ONE TV ASIA.

While Skull on the other hand, was signed in the United States under Morgan Carey, the brother of Mariah Carey, the Korean leading reggae artiste reaches out not only to an Asian-American fan base but also Caribbean and American audiences with his distinctive interpretation of the Jamaican patois.

Even though the land of Kuala Lumpur was poured by a heavy rain in the evening of their showcase day, the fans of HAHA and Skull put the issue aside just to watch before their own eyes the duo's performances. They started their performance with "Reggaegerilla" song plus very energetic performances. As they performed, they did not miss the chance to play a game together with their lovely fans. The game's name was 'Sharing Game' and it was indeed a joyful moment for both the artists and fans. They were so amusing especially HAHA because he made tons of silly jokes and dances that managed to drive his fans to break into joyful laughs along the way during his showcase.

It was such a splendid gorgeous night and the energy flowed throughout the stage was unexplainable by words as it was extraordinary when they performed "Ragga Muffin" and "From a Fool to the Fool". Out of the sudden, once the performance ended HAHA and Skull asked the fans not to snap any pictures but switch on their cell phones light indeed. That was when their energetic and strong performance turned out to be slow and sentimental with their song, Hennesy 19. That song was fully choreographed by Skull, and HAHA also told the fans jokingly that it is dedicated especially to Skull's ex girlfriend. HAHA even spoke off to the fans and told them the fact that he came to the concert as a singer and not as a Running Man member. Finally before they ended their showcase, they sang a very joyful Merry Christmas song in conjunction with the upcoming Christmas Eve and it was very lucky to Malaysian fans to receive both of their bows (Korean Style) and Happy New Year Lively wishes.

It was undeniable that they had made the best performances ever that night and they has succeeded in their task to light up their fans' heart and soul with their extravagant performances. HAHA and Skull has made the showcase a remarkable one, the night and the memory will surely be kept dearly in their fans memory box.
