Fans of the rising K-pop group KIIRAS have been quick to congratulate member Huang LingLing (aka Alicia Wong) after the announcement of her historic role as the group’s leader. On Sunday, May 4th, Lean Brand Entertainment shared the exciting news through KIIRAS’ official Instagram account, marking a major milestone in the K-pop industry.
Ling Ling, whose full name is 黄羚棱 (Huang LingLing), is making history as the first-ever Malaysian to be appointed as the leader of a K-pop idol group. Her introduction to the group earlier this year included a powerful quote in multiple languages, including Malay.
“Pentas yang aku rindukan. Kini, aku mulakan semula,” which translates to, "The stage I’ve longed for. Now, I begin again." These words encapsulate her passion for the industry and her new journey with KIIRAS.
Though the specifics of how Ling Ling was selected for this prestigious role remain unclear, her leadership announcement has sparked an outpouring of support from her fans, particularly those from Malaysia. Many have taken to social media to express their pride and excitement, celebrating her achievement as both a historic moment for her and for Malaysia.

In K-pop, the leader of a group is a highly significant role. Leaders are often the ones who guide their members, manage difficult situations, and sometimes serve as the face of the group. While the process for selecting a leader varies from group to group, LingLing’s position as KIIRAS’ leader marks a ground-breaking achievement for Malaysian talent in the K-pop industry.
Before even making her official debut, Ling Ling has already cemented her place in K-pop history by becoming the first Malaysian female idol. This incredible feat is just the beginning for the talented artist, and her fans are hopeful that KIIRAS will go on to achieve great success both in South Korea and internationally. With Lingling’s leadership, KIIRAS could very well make waves on the K-pop charts and continue to win the hearts of fans, particularly those in Malaysia.
The possibility of KIIRAS holding a concert in Malaysia is already a topic of conversation among fans, with many anticipating that the group's first visit to the country will be a special moment for Lingling and fans.
