16 July 2012, Bandar Sunway, Malaysia – Surf Beach @ Sunway Lagoon was swamped by more than 16,000 people to catch Justin Bieber, K-pop Sensations Jay Park and Kara as well as local singer-songwriter Mizz Nina perform last Saturday. The queue for entry into this free event started as early as 7am so that these fans could be the first to be admitted into Sunway Lagoon.
Justin Bieber opened the show with his smash hit “Baby”. Justin performed his other hits including “All Around the World”, “As Long As You Love Me”, “Die In Your Arms”, “Be Alright”, “One Time”, “Never Say Never and closing the set with “Boyfriend”.
After making a stop through Singapore, Park Gyu Ri, Han Seung Yeon, Goo Ha Ra, Nicole Jung and Kang Ji Young from Korea girl group Kara made their first-ever live Malaysian appearance kicking off with “Step” accompanied by ten dancers. The girls rocked the crowd with “Jumpin”, “Lupin”, “Honey” and “Let It Go”. They finished up their set with “Mister”, the single that put them in the record books as the first non-Japanese female group to break the Top 10 in Japan’s Oricon charts in over 29 years.
Miss Nina opened her set with “Just Do It” followed by “Take Over”, “Hit Me Up”, “Rentak Yang Sama”, “With You” and “Summer Burning”. She closed her set with “What You Waiting For?”
Jay Park closed the night for the MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia.
