New debut UNIQ receives impressive fan reception at Beijing airport

Ahead of their Beijing fan meeting on Tuesday, newly debuted UNIQ held their first fan meeting in Seoul over the weekend where they celebrated their one-month debut anniversary.

The Chinese-Korean boy group will make their Chinese debut in Beijing on Tuesday evening. Fans can look forward to seeing the group perform their first single “Falling in Love” in Mandarin for the first time. Soundtrack songs “Born To Fight” and “Celebrate” will also be performed.

Although the venue for their Seoul fan meeting was smaller than the expected Beijing venue, Korean fans were able to receive autographed posters and greet the five members at an intimate coffee shop. During the UNIQ fan meeting, all five members hand delivered drinks to their fans, surprising many of the female fans in the audience.

After the fan meeting, all five members spoke to iQiyi in an exclusive interview about their feelings towards their upcoming Beijing fan meeting.

Yixuan said, “Everyone has been training really well. If you look at the training room, all the mirrors have a layer of condensation.”

Yibo described their recent schedule, “All this time, we’ve been part attending activities, part preparing for the fan meeting. In the morning – whether we are heading to make-up, or to TV shows, or to practice – we would always wake up at 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM. But the other day, we practised until late in the evening, until approximately 2:00 AM or 3:00 AM. So from the time we went to bed, we only had three to four hours of sleep.”

The iQiyi video also spoke of Yuehua Entertainment’s heavy preparation for the upcoming Beijing event. Agency managers have organized the UNIQ fan meeting to liken a full concert, inviting notable concert directors to assist in perfecting audio, video, and stage lighting technicalities for the event.

Meanwhile, all five members flew to Beijing on Monday afternoon ahead of their Tuesday fan meeting. A large group of fans were there at the Beijing Capital International Airport awaiting their idols’ arrival. Chinese media outlets iQiyi and Top Chinese Music were both there in attendance for interviews and media coverage.

The UNIQ fan meeting on Tuesday will be live streamed, so overseas fans can follow along online.

They can actually walk through the crowd...*reviews EXO-M and iKON footage*

Impressive? Nah, but it is a good sized crowd with signs

For a new debut group under a new company working in Korea, it's a pretty impressive reception. I don't know what EXO's reception was like when they first arrived in China, but they are managed by SM Entertainment. Their positions are different.

Yes ifnit was Dragon Music but in China they are under Yuehua

No, I don't think they're under Dragon Music. I don't know where AKP got that source. None of the other major English K-Pop media sites like Soompi or Koreaboo reported on them being under Dragon Music. I asked a Korean friend to research about who manages them in Korea, and she couldn't find anything about a "Dragon Music". So I think it's just Yuehua's Korea division who manages them. A video clip of UNIQ practising at their company showed door signs of them at the Yuehua building too.

Okay well Yuehua is a good company in China so that makes all that talk about them being a small company pointless...
