  • Singer A-Lin celebrated her Golden Melody Awards success with a concert series in Beijing.
  • She was joined by fellow artists Verna and Song Nien-yu, who performed special segments.
  • A humorous moment occurred when Verna, a junior artist, mistakenly thought a stage lift was part of her exit, leading to laughter from the audience.

Taiwanese singer A-Lin is currently captivating audiences in Beijing with her "A-Lin Journey" world tour, following her recent success at the Golden Melody Awards. The singer, who hosted the prestigious music awards and won the Song of the Year award for "Happiness is Singing," is performing a three-day concert series in the Chinese capital.

For the opening night, A-Lin invited her label mate Verna to join her on stage. The duo performed their collaboration "Entangled Restart" with impressive chemistry. A-Lin playfully handed the microphone to Verna, encouraging her to introduce herself to the Beijing fans. Verna responded with a humorous callback to A-Lin's Golden Melody Awards hosting, quoting, "As long as you have a heart, you can be A-Lin too." This witty remark caused A-Lin to burst into laughter.

The concert featured a surprise dance performance from Verna to Beyoncรฉ's "Crazy in Love," which ignited the crowd. A-Lin jokingly remarked that it felt like a "battle" between them. The most amusing incident of the night occurred when Verna, after her energetic dance, struck a final pose near the main stage, expecting to be lowered by a lift. When no lift appeared, A-Lin playfully prompted her, "You have to get off the stage yourself!" Verna, realizing her mistake, exclaimed, "Huh? Isn't this a lift?" before playfully sprinting offstage, much to the audience's amusement.

The second night featured label mate Song Nien-yu, who affectionately called A-Lin "eternal senior sister." A-Lin, however, playfully reminded him they are the same age. Song Nien-yu expressed his surprise and joy at being label mates after 20 years, even sharing a snippet of his new song "I Still Have a Dream." A-Lin also surprised the audience by performing a rendition of Chang Hui-mei's classic "Full Name," which sent the crowd into a frenzy. She also debuted her latest single, "Alone," a song written by her idol, Penny Tai, after a chance encounter during a flight delay.
