Boyfriend were recently in Singapore for their first solo Asia Fan Meeting on March 16th —and officiallykmusic was lucky enough to have a photographer there to cover the event!
The fan meeting started off with a bang! The boys wore the actual outfits from their ‘Janus’ music video, and performed a remixed version of the track. The crowd of 1,200 was immediately hooked.
After a quick introduction, the boys began a Q&A session. They talked about how happy they were to be back in Singapore, and how they miss their fans the most. Youngmin also mentioned that he wanted to visit the Merlion, while Donghyun took the chance to say he was interested in visiting a Singapore club. He then demonstrated some moves he wanted to use at the club, the other members followed and the fans loved it!
Switching topics, Boyfriend talked about the process leading up to their album and it’s release. The members were then asked to say “I love you” in different languages. Donghyun in Japanese, Youngmin in Mandarin, etc.
The MC’s teaching session ended early as Boyfriend prepared to perform two tracks, ‘Don’t Touch My Girl’ and ‘I’ll Be There.’ Fans noted Minwoo‘s cute gestures and smiles, causing screams among the girls.
The audience was then given an opportunity to win autographed prizes through a quiz, as the member prepared for their solo stages. The first performance was by Donghyun with ‘Listen’ where he invited a fan on stage, and sang to her! Hyunseong was next, performing his solo song ‘Trippin‘, followed by Jeongmin who performed his solo song ‘My Dear’.
In contrast, Youngmin, Kwangmin and Minwoo gave the fans a special dance performance. The twins danced together to Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’, which turned to a ‘dance battle’ as they demonstrated their moves individually and then together. Near the end Minwoo came in and began dancing. He danced to Wale’s ‘Bait‘, the fans were in awe over the techniques the boys had learned.
As Boyfriend changed their outfits backstage, a video of them behind-the-scenes of Janus music video was played to entertain the fans. Once the video was finished, the members returned to the stage to perform ‘Go Back’ and fans swayed along to the song.
During the second interview and prize giving segment, Donghyun talked about practicing for a solo and the outcome, “I only looking forward to the result”. He also mentioned how happy he was that the fans have enjoyed all their solo stages so far.
The fans who did well in the quiz segments received autographed CDs and towels. Some fan were lucky enough to get hugs from the members, and one fan got a personal polaroid taken with Donghyun from his solo performance.
A celebration was then underway for Donghyun’s birthday (February 12th). A video-montage of him was shown, followed by the birthday cake. Fans and members sang for Donghyun in English and Korean.
Following the birthday celebration was ‘Love Style’. Towards the end of the fan meeting, the members thanked the fans saying, “So happy to see you all”. Which concluded with a performance of ‘I Yah’.
The fans however wanted more before the meeting ended, cheering and chanting. Boyfriend then decided to do another performance, ‘Boyfriend‘. Lots of fan service, hearts, smiles and more were done as the boys ran all over the stage interacting with fans. They then thanked the fans once more, and mentioned that they wished to return soon.
