Jointly organised by IME and Warner Music Malaysia, MXM – consisting of members Im Young Min and Kim Dong Hyun – held their first ever fan meeting in Kuala Lumpur on 1 May 2018 at HGH Convention Centre where they showcased their charms to a 1,600 strong crowd. Highlights of the night include MXM’s high-energy performances, getting up-close and personal with fans through games, as well as their performance of Rasa Sayang.
The duo rose to fame after participating in Produce 101 Season 2 – MNET’s boy group reality survival programme – and made their debut as a unit group in September 2017.
Prior to the fan meeting, MXM presented themselves to the press and answered some burning questions. MXM <MATCH UP> Fan Meeting in Kuala Lumpur marks Young Min and Dong Hyun’s first visit to Malaysia – the boys expressed their heartfelt thanks for the warm welcome from fans. Young Min was asked about the difference between Malaysia and Singapore – he laughed and said, “Although I was born in Singapore, I moved back to Korea at the age of five, so I really don’t have much memories there.”
When asked about labelmates Lee Dae Hwi and Park Woo Jin – who are currently promoting under Wanna One – Dong Hyun mentioned that they keep close contact and often give compliments to each other when they meet. If the opportunity arises, they would be more than happy to do a collaboration and perform on the same stage. We definitely hope to see them share the same stage in future!
On the topic of collaborations, are there any artistes that the boys of MXM would like to collaborate with? Young Min said that Jay Park was his favourite artiste ever since he was a child, and would like to collaborate with him if there is a chance. Dong Hyun’s mentioned that his role model is Park Hyo Shin, but he wishes to do a collaboration with Crush and Bolbbalgan4. “It would be great to have the opportunity to work with them later,” said Dong Hyun.
MXM expressed that they hope to be recognised as a talented idol that gives out a bright and comforting energy to fans that listen to their music. How do you feel about MXM’s Young Min and Dong Hyun? Check out the MV of ‘Diamond Girl’:
