Lingling Kwong’s First Visit to Malaysia Causes ‘Kwong-Filled Floors’; Fans’ Screams Shake the Mall

Hong Kong-Thai mixed-blood goddess Lingling Kwong descended on Kuala Lumpur's Mid Valley Megamall on Friday afternoon (January 16), attending a Eucerin skincare brand event. On her first-ever visit to Malaysia, her popularity was overwhelming—even though it was a weekday, thousands of fans crowded all four levels of the mall, completely packed both inside and out, recreating the “Kwong-Filled Floors” (a pun on fans filling the floors for Kwong) spectacle. As soon as the goddess appeared, deafening screams erupted, her charm was simply unstoppable! Lingling even embraced the local culture, eagerly learning and immediately using Malay to greet fans. Her cute “Awak semua comel” (you’re all so cute) instantly melted fans’ hearts, sweetness level off the charts!

Born in Hong Kong in 1995, Lingling Kwong’s father is from Hong Kong and her mother is from Thailand. She grew up in Hong Kong and moved to Thailand at age 17, where she was admitted to Khon Kaen University and entered showbiz. She is fluent in Cantonese, Chinese, Thai, and English. In 2024, her starring role in the Thai GL series “Our Secret” propelled her to stardom, rapidly gaining massive popularity across Asia and establishing her as the new generation’s goddess.

This “GL goddess” set off a fan chase fever on her first visit to Malaysia. The event started at 3pm, but fans were already queuing as early as 5am. Even before the event began, the mall’s concourse and walkways were packed solid. When Lingling, dressed in a white off-shoulder dress, walked the red carpet, screams and cheers surged in waves, the atmosphere electrifying. At one point, due to the pressing crowd, a fan fell down, and she immediately stopped to help, her thoughtful gesture prompting fans to exclaim, “Beautiful and kind-hearted too.”

Seeing the crowd packed with passionate fans and cheers of “Lingling Kwong” filling the air, Lingling was visibly moved, often making heart signs back at the crowd’s enthusiasm. Unable to hide her excitement, she sweetly called out in Cantonese: “Happy New Year! I’m so happy today, this is my first time coming to Malaysia, thank you all for such a warm welcome, thank you!” She then learnt some Malay phrases from the host right on stage, shouting “Selamat Tahun Baru” (Happy New Year) and “Awak semua comel” (You’re all so cute), sparking explosive cheers and roars from the crowd.

Known as a foodie, she happily shared that she already tried “ban mian” and satay in Malaysia, giving repeated thumbs-ups with an adorable look. During the event, Lingling showered fans with endless love—finger hearts, air kisses, 360-degree non-stop affection lit up the venue. During the group photo with 25 lucky fans, she intentionally squatted down to match petite fans’ height and gamely fulfilled every request—for finger hearts, side hugs, and more—she truly pampered her fans.

At the end of the event, she spoke emotionally: “I am truly happy, and very grateful to all of you. I feel as if you’ve all been with me for a long time. I love you very much! Love you!” She then blew kisses at the crowd and called out that she hopes to return to Malaysia soon. Finally, she sweetly said in English: “I hope I can come back soon. I love you guys!”
