(This Pann post was written in BAP's Fan Talk on Pann. Fan Talk is a subcategory of Pann exclusively for idols. Pann OP is a Russian Baby.)
How fortunate that B.A.P think outside the box and break all stereotypes (particularly, about our country)! That is why they held a grand concert which passed with full house and caused a real hysteria among their loyal fans in Moscow on 17th May.
And there are not just many fans of B.A.P in Russia and CIS countries, but a lot of fans. BABYs is one of the largest and most active fandom in Russian K-pop community (one of the leading Russian fanbase counts more than 48,000 members in the fandom), so B.A.P steadily occupy the leading P0SITIONs with each comeback in the largest Russian K-pop charts. Russian BABYs actively vote for the guys in all possible Music Awards and ceremonies and they were not just waiting for the concert in Moscow, they waited for it with great anticipation and aspiration.
Since we wanted to meet our guys "with bread and sault" in the Russian tradition, fandom had been preparing for the event beforehand. The fundraising was organized for the fan project, also we planned the flash mob which was supposed to fully demonstrate B.A.P the great love of Russian-speaking fans. So it happened, but we will talk about it later, and now it is worth to say a few words about the concert.
The demand for tickets was h-u-g-e. This is the most large-scale and successful concert by K-pop group in the history of the Russian-speaking fandom. What is more, not only fans from all over the vast Russia gathered at Moscow Awake concert, but also fans from other CIS countries who was ready to pay any money in order to see their idols. It is impossible to say the exact number of the viewers but it is about several thousands. The spacious concert hall of "Stadium Live" was very crowded and B.A.P were amazed by the fact that they have so many loyal Russian fans.
For the convenience of organizing, fan project's volunteers gave out the bracelets with numbers before the event according to which the fans lined up in a certain order. The excitement started even at that stage, there were so many fans that they literally blocked the pedestrian street. That is why the distribution of bracelets was made in the nearby park afterwards. A queue stretched for a hundred meters; the fans rehearsed chants and repeated B.A.P's lyrics in order to meet their idols fully prepared.
The concert passed with a real triumph! Russians love B.A.P strongly and whole-heartedly, therefore, everyone began to sing along and chant the fan cheers from the first song. The guys were a little bit scared at first: who knew that such a large and cold country has so hot and active BABYs? The flash mob for "With You" song was especially memorable when the fans were singing this significant song with the boys and raised their specially prepared banners «Forever With B.A.P» altogether. The hall acted as a single organism and it was clear that B.A.P members were deeply touched by that kind of support. Jongup even took one of the banners to backstage and we hope that it stayed with the boys as a memory about the significant event.
But what can we say about B.A.P? They are fabulous. They are true professionals. They are laid out on the stage and turn every performance into a small miracle. Their music makes people not only listen to a pleasant melody, but also to think about the meaning of sounding words. The oeuvre and work of these six guys have changed the lives of many people for the better and because of that we are extremely grateful.
They are incredibly handsome in real life. So handsome that it hurts your eyes. ТТ They are like princes that escaped from a fairy tale - it is impossible to look away!
And we were deeply touched by the fact of how diligently they were preparing for the concert. Each of them spoke in Russian not just formulaic words like "Hello" and "Thank you" but also deep and complicated phrases that made fans literally screaming with delight. "Мы существуем благодаря вам" (We exist because of you), "Мы вас любим" (We love you) and, of course, "Ну что, поехали" (Well, let's get it started) from Himchan-oppa will live forever in our memories. Russian language is very difficult for foreigners but they bravely overcame that barrier - all for the sake of their loyal fans.
BABYs from all around the world told that after B.A.P's live performances it is impossible not to become their fan and not to fall in love with their unique music, bright charisma and masculine charms. Now we know that it is true because it is unreal to resist their enchantment. These guys are wizards. Which spells they use is just a mystery. TT
Russian-speaking BABYs gave B.A.P a special award "For the conquest of the world" as a gift. Thus, we would like to emphasize that we are very proud of their success and we hope that the music of our Matoki warriors will sound all over the world because these guys are unbelievable hard-working, talented and glorious. They deserve more, especially in Korea, and we ask you to pay them much more attention and give them your love and support. Though our fandom is quiet but it is very large and active. We hope that the article about the international success of B.A.P will attract much more interest to them.
Please, appreciate B.A.P because they are a real treasure. Like a pearl rarely found in Korean entertainment business. Yes, sir! B.A.P, hwaiting! BABYs, hwaiting!
We love you!
