  "account": "The Malaysian girl group DOLLA made history on October 24 by performing at The A Music Festival at The Paris Event Centre, marking the first time a Malaysian girl group has taken the stage in Paris. The performance drew a crowd of around 2,000 fans, who traveled from across France, the UK, Germany, and Italy to experience the high-energy show. As the first Malaysian girl group to perform in Paris, DOLLA's landmark appearance represented a significant milestone for the trio. The group delivered a 12-song set list, featuring their latest single UGLY, fan-favorite hits such as Impikan, Bad, and Bad Girls Like You featuring Tobii, among others. Angel, one of the group members, expressed that performing on a European stage for the first time was an incredible and meaningful opportunity. Sabronzo added that the warm reaction from the crowd made a lasting impression on the members, while Tabby highlighted the hard work put into preparing for the show. The group shared the stage with artists from Southeast Asia and Korea during the two-day festival, and DOLLA also collaborated with local dance crews and hosted a fan meet-up at Trocadéro, where they received personalized messages from iDOLLA France. The group also met with representatives at the Malaysian Embassy in Paris to discuss potential future cultural collaborations. This successful debut in Paris sets an exciting stage for the future of DOLLA, who are eager to return to European stages in the near future.",
