Kuala Lumpur/March25th)Malaysia's “Prince”Nicholas Teo has turned thin for the sake of his first ticketed concert. Also, due to having just returned to home country from Taipei, he caught a fever since the weather switches between hot and cold.

He said because it is nearing more and more the concert date, formless pressure rushes towards himself. Regardless of sleeping time at night or working hours in the morning, he will think about anything related to the event every now and then and could not sleep without waking up till morning. 

“Been thinking day and night about the concert's dance steps, lyrics or the situation during that day's performance. That is a kind of formless pressure especially while sleeping at night. I would wake up halfway through.”

He charmingly added that the whole pressure does not concern if there is anyone buying the tickets but his own performance. Once he obtained the information that the most expensive tickets were all sold-out, he was extremely surprised and asked the media in return, "Why is that the cheap ones are not sold off?"

In order for “FROM NOW ON Live in Malaysia Concert”to have a much more colourful and ear-pleasing performance, Nicholas was in Taiwan training for a period of time and always practising dance moves and doing workouts to present the best performance for fans.

“Not knowing if the body is not accustomed to the temperature change of the weather. Taiwan is quite cold and the moment I'm back in Malaysia, I don't feel well. The day before, there's slight fever but it's already back to normal today.”

“My weight dropped from 66 to 60 kgs. But, recently it has increased to 61 kg. Despite such, I wouldn't take illness as an excuse or to create news topics. I will do the very best during this concert for fans who love me.”


Transforming to an electronic music dancerWith regard to the dance song 《新歌試唱》which was tailor-made for him and netizens criticising that there were not much dance moves,his reply was,“This is the point of my dance instructor, teacher Lan Bo. He thinks that for one MV, the main thing is to have one kind of dance moves and that will be fine. It is not necessary to have too many types.”

He also expressed that during the course of the dance in 《新歌試唱》MV,the teacher kept on telling him to act smart. However,he told the press,“My weakness is that I don't know how to act smart!”When he finished,there was laughter resounding throughout the place. It seems that everyone does not agree that good-looking “Prince”Nicholas Teo will utter the words “not knowing how to act smart”. After he attended the LG New Model HandphoneKF510 endorsement event,he expressed so towards the media during the press conference.


Endorsing Handphone; Hoping to take on the Korean market

They regarded Nicholas' unlimited hidden strengths and well-rounded performing abilities、young vigor and full-range fashion sense、vocal that touches people as well as possessing a bright career future and endless creative performance plans. The most important point is that he has the air and quality of the South Korean nationality, letting him able to champion as Malaysia's first spokesperson of the Chinese descent.

On the other hand,he also said that through Nicholas' various classes of fans' group throughout Asia such as Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore,Vietnam, Indonesia as well as Malaysia and their club websites, both sides could create a much brighter forward journey and market expansion, gaining the state of a double win.

Nicholas expressed that he is very contented with the endorsement fees and pointed out that he likes electronic gadgets very much. Even if he is not the spokesperson of the electronic products, he will still spend money to purchase them for enjoyment.
