[Event Coverage] Everything You Missed From 2025 Baekhyun’s Dreamy Reverie Tour Stop in Malaysia

Baekhyun turned the Ideal Live Arena in Petaling Jaya into a dreamscape of sound and emotion on 23rd August 2025 as part of his Reverie World Tour. 

What Is Baekhyun’s Reverie About?

As relayed by Baekhyun during the concert, “Reverie” stood for ideals/dreams, fantasy, and nostalgia, a fitting theme for him, who has mastered the art of blending sentiment and show in his performances. The tour first kicked off in Seoul’s KSPO Dome in June 2025, and Malaysia was one of its anticipated stops as it was missed out during the 2024 Baekhyun Lonsdaleite Asia Tour.

Fans embraced the dreamy dress code wholeheartedly, wearing flowing outfits and accessories in hues of purple and pink to match the tour’s aesthetic. The sea of lavender, paired with their glowing white EXO lightsticks made the venue feel like a fantasy realm, in sync with the Reverie theme.

“It’s regretful that it’s only for one night in Malaysia,” Baekhyun told fans during the show. He also expressed how sad he was about missing the country during his 2024 tour, making this stop a meaningful one.

The Setlist: 27 Songs, 2.5 Hours of Pure Emotion

From the very first note, it was clear Baekhyun was set on making the night unforgettable. He performed a whopping 27 songs in a 2.5-hour setlist which had the crowd hanging on to every note.

The setlist blended new tracks from his latest album with beloved fan classics. This included songs from the new Essence of Reverie album; Chocolate, Love Comes Back and Elevator as well as some from his previous releases such as Bambi (where his vocal runs were breath-taking) and Ghost. Crowd favourites such as Candy, Psycho and UN Village also had fans singing along that night. On a more personal note, standout moments for me included Baekhyun’s performance of “Pineapple Slice” (what a fun bob!), “Underwater” (with its immersive aquatic backdrop) as well as “Rendez-Vous” (which had a refreshing jazz twist to it).

The night then came to an end with Paranoia and Amusement Park, giving his fans a night to remember with a surreal, emotional dream they’ll be replaying long after it ended.

Thank you to iMe Malaysia for inviting us and making this happen.
