British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran recently arrived in Malaysia for his concert tour, not only conquering fans with his music but also venturing into the badminton court for a friendly match against mixed doubles national player Chan Peng Soon.
Ed Sheeran shared a video on social media yesterday, revealing his experiences in Kuala Lumpur during his concert tour in Malaysia. During his downtime, he explored various activities around the city, including engaging in the most beloved sport in Malaysia - badminton.
Facing the formidable opponent Chan Peng Soon, Ed Sheeran enlisted the help of two local internet celebrities to join him in the match. While the trio may not be professional players and approached the game more casually, they showcased a cheerful and competitive atmosphere.
