The costume promotions worked like a charm.

Tickets to B1A4’s first exclusive concert, BABA B1A4 have completely sold out. The tickets were open for purchase on October 18, and within five minutes, 8,000 seats were sold.

Not only that, even before ticketing opened, around 75,000 people were on the server, preparing to battle it out to be part of the lucky 8,000.

According to CJ E&M, who is in charge of the concert production, the members of B1A4 were extremely thankful to hear that their concert sold out and promised to do their their best in preparing for their concert.

B1A4’s BABA B1A4 concert will take place at Olympic Park’s SK Olympic Handball Stadium on December 8 and 9.

B1A4 made its debut in 2011 and soon gathered a large fan base, enabling the fairly new group to hold an exclusive concert so early on in its career.

enewsworld

And people said they wouldn't sell out. PFFTTT. They also had a pre sale for the fan club members on the 15th that also sold out. :D

Wow so proud! I knew they could do it! The costumes weren't even needed. Oh how I wish I was there so I could go too. If I beg enough will they come to the states??

I wonder if WM is going to add more dates as seeing as they sold out and so many people wanted tickets.

WM seems to be a really smart company so they should capitalize on this opportunity by either adding more dates or organizing other fan events.

LOL. I like B1A4! Why wouldn't they sold out (even if there's relatively less news bout them compared to some other new boygroups)?

CONGRATSSSSS ;; SOBBING SO HARD FOR THESE BABIES.\O/ They've been so much blessed since their debut. And there's no stopping them.

How I wish I could watch their concert. After seeing them at Malaysia,I wanna see them again in their concert sobs. -___-

Yup, I was one of the 75k. Stupid website couldn't keep up and gave false hope.

Even though I was really frustrated it made me feel satisfied, though. All of the netizenbuzz translated netizen comments on the concert were really negative, so I'm like, fuck you netizens!!1

I don't get the scornful 'they're too new to hold a concert' thing. If they can sell tickets now, why the heck not have one now? And they picked a venue with a modest size, which ended up being too small for demand even. So, y'know, so there.

Idek why it matters to anyone that they wanted to hold a concert this early into their career. It's what they wanted and clearly fans are happy to pay to see them so I don't get what's the big deal. They've always been about the fans and I don't think this is any different.

And yay I love any excuse to post B1A4 gifs

Me too, it was sooooo frustrating!!!! I had tickets in my basket and everything, pressed "pay" and then it just froze!!!!

Still get angry thinking about how close I was to tickets...

Congrats! That's great for a new group.

Also, I hear this group is not made of douchebags, so I'm going to give them a try.

Any recommendations?

I've only seen them on "Idol Athletics," and I sort of took a liking to them because they actually seemed like they came there to compete, instead of looking pretty and acting like buffoons.

I think I should start chronologically? Maybe?

I watched the 2012 edition on YouTube, when it were still available. Some parts might be deleted.

The one from 2011 is on Dailymotion and YT.

Yeah the boys are ~really competitive. In a recent interview it said Baro bet Jinyoung his laptop if he could win gold for fencing.

They all have their wheelhouse. Baro does good at the running events (and won gold and silver medals for it). Jinyoung has won gold in fencing and shown that he is amazing in archery. Sandeul has won medals in high jump.

I also suggest you to backtrack the B1A4 tag on Omona. There are a lot of really great interviews with them. I love reading their interviews and it really gives you an insight of how they are as a group.

Thank you for the info! <3

THE RECOMMENDED SCIENTIFIC APPROACH:

From: [identity profile] erisinia.livejournal.com
I liked their music first, so I would start by listening to their discology chronologically. A good few of their songs are written by Jinyoung (with input from the other members) and Baro does all his own raps, so keep that in mind.

Next: life performances. I'd say watch their debut/comeback performance and goodbye stage for every promotional period as well as any special stages. They are great, fun performers who seem super comfortable and happy on stage. They also kinda suck at dancing but always sing live.

Third: read interviews. Their interviews are super precious, with a charming mix of frankness, silliness/cuteness, and professionalism

Finally: variety shows! I love them on variety shows but most of them seem pretty low-key, like they're cute and charming but not a whole lot actually happens so I think they're probably the most enjoyable after you already like them. MTV match-up is the first, then Sesame Player, then Hello Baby, with various guest appearances and cuts inbetween.

You're welcome! I tend to kinda babble on in B1A4 posts because i'm a sorry soppy noona fangirl, so I'm clad that my excesses might be of use to you. XD

Pride. It is just spilling out of me.
I love love love these five boys and their inspiring attitudes. They are just the sweetest, most sincere and adorable idols I have had the good fortune to come across. It pains me that I can't go to watch them live, but knowing that it will be a monumental moment for B1A4 and BANA is more than enough for me.

And WM better release official concert footage. My wallet is ready.

omg I finally remembered

“If we get to open up our own solo concert, I will cross-dress perfectly and do SNSD’s dance.” (Gongchan)
“If we have a our own solo concert, I will wear a white shirt and sit on stage then with just one stage light on, I will get hit with a downfall of water.” (Sandeul)
