One of 2012′s most impressive rookies, B.A.P will be holding their first ever solo concert in February.

On January 14th, their agency, TS Entertainment the above concert posted stating, “B.A.P will be holding their first solo concert, ‘B.A.P LIVE ON EARTH SEOUL’, on February 23rd and 24th at Seoul Olympic Park Hall.” The Olympic Park Concert Hall can accommodate roughly 4,000 people and both domestic and international artists have performed at the venue.


The poster itself features six Matokis (B.A.P’s personalized bunny mascots) emerging from a foggy setting, meant to represent the group exiting a spaceship.

Since debuting on January 26, 2012 with “Warrior“, B.A.P has released 3 singles, a mini album, and a repackage album. This gives them plenty of songs to perform at their solo concert. The group are planning on a setlist of roughly 20 songs. The concert will also include songs from their 2nd mini album, which will be released in February.

Although no ticket details are available yet,  with their stage presence and increasing popularity we are sure the concerts will be a sell-out.

Are they popular enough to hold a successful solo concert?

i'm pretty sure most of the them are international fans. there's no way a rookie group has that many members.

lol idk about that, i cant really say if the fancafe members are mostly kfans or ifans. but their official kbabys were around 6k, whereas official ibabys were around 500-600 people. so yeah, they are probably have enough fans to attend the concert? besides, 3000 people attended their debut showcase, so 1000 people more won't be much problems i guess.

Possibly enough for 4,000. They'll never know until they've tried.

It's a pretty small venue. Even with two days, 8000 should be okay I think.

I think they have enough fans for a small concert.

1st Baby Day (for their fanclub inauguration or whatever) was 4000, so I don't see how this can be a problem. The venue is not overambitious, anyway.

Argh, i wanna go so badly ;~; I hope it's a success!!

On another note, i'm still waiting for more Matoki goodies, TS!! XD

Not sure they have enough songs tbh but I'm all for concerts. Kpop acts in general should hold more concerts.

But they already have 14 full-length songs, not even counting sub-unit materials (well, that's only 2 more songs, unless we count Everything's Pretty also). That's like 1 real album! XD Plus Sound of Rain and the rest of the mini in February. Plus whatever covers and special performances they feel like putting on.

Damn. These boys work fast.

I wish they just take a little break one of these days.

Good for them. They have enough songs and enough fans. I think the usual "at least 2 years before a solo concert" rule doesn't apply in their case because they got more experience in a year than other groups get in 3.

*throws self on sword* I'm going to be getting to Korea within a week of this concert... Hopefully it's before, and I can (somehow!) get a ticket. They are my favourites forever. ㅠ_ㅠ

This concert is only 1000 people more than their debut showcase so I'm pretty sure it'll sell out.

Goodness knows they have enough songs for it...but TS...you are going to wear these kids out!

wow! they don't even have a full album yet and they already have their first solo concert. but i guess there'll lots of covers and that's not a bad thing.

Excluding subunit materials, they already have 14 full-length songs+sound of rain+the mini in february. They could have 20 songs without any covers, easily, once you add the subunit songs and intro tracks.

Omg did Secret even have a solo concert before?? I feel bad for them. I also feel bad for B.A.P's antis, they must be so bitter lol. Surprised tbh so far no negative comments in this post!

Mte on Secret. Though I guess any plans might have been derailed by Zinger's injury (idk how far ahead a concert must be rehearsed for)?

Has Secret even had a solo concert yet? >< If not... bad form, TS, bad form.

Not too worried about whether there are going to be enough songs (it can be a short concert, plus they'll probably have solos, and clearly they already have a relatively-large number of songs for rookies lmao). But idk about the timing - won't they just have finished promos for their title song for the new mini/be in the thick of said promos? New choreo, rehearsals, etc... I hope they won't be overworked.

I AM happy that Goodbye's going to be performed live, though. (FINALLY!)

yeah they had a japan tour but tbh girl group concerts in korea are kinda rare. only Soshi, WG, 2ne1, BEG, KARA and Sistar have held concerts out of the idols. it took KARA 5 years before they even had a concert and they didn't fully sell out.

Ah ty so it's a general girl group VS boy group thing. So Korean boy group fans are more likely to shell out for a concert (more I-must-see-oppa-before-I-die stans as opposed to casual fans?)?

From: [identity profile] fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com
yeah i think boy group fandoms are just more into it while girl groups' popularity is attributed to public interest. if public interest is high, then you can hold a solo concert (Sistar) but if it isn't it's hard for them to sell out especially since I think Korea doesn't have much small concert venues that can satisfy the needs of idol concerts in terms of production (while Japan has it so that's why they go on tour there more).

Going by digital sales for 2012, Secret is not quite as generally popular as Sistar (or at least Poison didn't do nearly as well as Alone... even if Alone did really really well, Loving You also did really well without being particularly iconic, you know?) Of course, they came back from a year of inactivity in korea, buuuuut....

(I wonder if Sistar is popular in Japan?)
