| Rapid KL’s TikTok Admin Is the Real Main Character in This DAY6 Parody |
If you've never scrolled through RapidKL’s TikTok, mate... you’re seriously missing out. Malaysia’s public transport operator isn’t just about trains and buses – they’ve basically become a full-blown content house. And their latest upload? A full-blown parody of K-pop band DAY6’s heartbreak anthem “Congratulations” that’s got netizens howling.
Posted on Thursday (5th June 2025), the short clip is a hilarious take on the OG music video – you know, the one where actor Choi Woo-shik is brooding on the train, only to run into his ex and her new man, in the most awkward timing ever.

RapidKL’s version? Same setting, same energy – but this time, it’s a regular bloke staring dramatically into the void on the LRT, only to catch his ex looking too cosy with another fella. He storms off, heartbreak in slow-mo, all while the now-iconic melody plays in the background. Shot-for-shot tribute, but with just enough Malaysian flair to make it chef’s kiss.
🎥 K-pop + Public Transport = Unexpected Win?
The parody racked up over 124,000 views in under 12 hours, with TikTok users flooding the comments section. Most were amused at the dramatic flair, while some genuinely praised the accuracy of the scenes – "not RapidKL doing the most with their budget," one user joked. A few MYDAYs (that’s DAY6 stans, by the way) even demanded to know if this was some kind of cryptic hint that DAY6 might be making a Malaysian comeback soon.

“RapidKL, just say you want to open a single-only coach and go,” wrote one comment. Another simply said: "This is why I never take the last train – too many memories."

💡 Not Their First Rodeo
Turns out, this isn’t RapidKL’s first K-pop love letter. The social media team – whose admin is allegedly a known DAY6 stan – has dropped references before. Back in the day, they posted about DAY6’s first solo concert in KL and even flexed their own ticket online. No shame. No regrets. Pure fan energy.
Now, fans are calling for sequels: BTS’s “Spring Day” on the MRT? IU’s “Through the Night” in a dim RapidKL station? The possibilities are endless – and knowing the admin, they're probably already storyboarding it.

🧾 Final Stop: Viral Fame
While the vid’s main goal is to remind passengers of train etiquette (no PDA, mind your surroundings, don’t trigger emotional flashbacks), it’s done with a level of humour and creativity most corporate accounts can only dream of.
RapidKL might be running trains, but it’s also running social media like pros – and giving us emotional damage while they’re at it.
For now, all eyes are on their next upload. Until then, go watch their parody (and the original MV if you’ve been living under a rock). Just… maybe don’t cry on the train, yeah?
@myrapidkl Somewhere between stations, I remembered us. Congratulations, you moved on. I’m still stuck at the platform. #RapidKL ♬ original sound - Rapid KL
