Hong Kong singer Aaron Kwok will be entertaining fans in Malaysia with a three-night concert at the Arena Of Stars in Genting Highlands this Friday (June 23) to Sunday.

The upcoming concerts, which is part of the Aaron Kwok Amazing Kode World Tour, mark the singer's first performance in Malaysia since 2015.

At a press conference earlier today (June 21), the 57-year-old expressed excitement at returning here after so long.

“I am very happy and excited to stage a concert in Malaysia after eight years.

“I haven’t interacted with fans on stage for such a long time. My team and I are ready to present the most dazzling and magnificent performance to the fans here,” he said with a smile.

During the Q&A session, the Heavenly King acknowledged the overwhelming response he received from Malaysians for his upcoming Genting Highlands gigs.

On March 28, concert organiser Jazzy Group announced a third date after tickets to Kwok’s initial two shows sold out within hours of its sale on March 27.

Reflecting on the immense support and love he received from Malaysian fans, Kwok said: “I am deeply touched and grateful for the support and enthusiasm (I received) from fans.

“Each show of support is a source of inspiration and motivation for my efforts and creations. I will treasure (the fans) in my heart and strive to do even better on stage as a return to all their support.”

Kwok receives the Award For Excellent Achievement In Film for his outstanding contributions in the film industry.

In preparation for his upcoming shows here, the singer said he would exercise daily to ensure he had the stamina necessary to perform.

“I work out, do cardio and run every day to keep myself fit. In fact, (exercising) has long been a part of my life.

“Whether I am a singer or actor, I always make sure to exercise daily as it provides me with the stamina I need to sing and shoot action movies,” he added.

At the press conference, Kwok was also presented with the Award For Excellent Achievement In Film from Malaysia International Film Festival (MIFF) chairman Joanne Goh.

The Cyber Heist star received the prize for his outstanding contributions to the film industry.

Sharing what the award meant to him, Kwok said: “Every acting award I receive is another step in my (acting career).

“When I started out as a professional actor in 2003, I made a promise to my friends to give the best performance I could.

“All these awards give me confidence to continue making films and acting,” he concluded.
