2012 is officially a wrap, and we wanted to close out the year with one of our favorite events from the year.
We went to many K-Pop events and enjoyed all of them, but B.A.P′s fan meeting, in particular, was special because it was the idol group′s first fan meeting with its beloved, dedicated fans.
From performing on music shows to appearing on talk shows as well as traveling abroad and preparing for their numerous comebacks, these boys stuck to one busy schedule this year.
Having watched this rookie group grow in popularity since its debut, we were happy to attend their first fan meeting. Still, we were surprised by how big the B.A.P fan community had grown since the group′s debut.

Once arriving at Korea University, we saw a big ‘B.A.P’ poster from their latest album ‘Stop it’ and were amazed by B.A.P′s professionalism and fast-rising popularity.
We saw the big crowd of B.A.P fans lined up excited to get their B.A.P merchandise and tickets. Despite the rain, fans were all smiling and shouting "YES YES!" when they received their tickets, albums and fan-sticks.
Outside the tents, there was a ′B.A.P member′ board set up for the fans to vote for the members they thought would be the best boyfriend, who would look the best as a girl, who is the most romantic, etc.
The final results of the fans′ vote would be revealed later, during the fan meeting, and fans would see if the idols agree or disagree with the fans.

While waiting for the event to begin, we went to a coffee shop and looked through the B.A.P merchandise. We felt like almost all of the coffee shops around the event hall where filled with B.A.P fans and we saw how many fans from different parts of the country had come to be friends with each other.
We also talked with some foreign fans who were studying in Korea and felt they were very lucky to be able to attend this fan event.

When we entered the event hall, we heard fans singing along to the B.A.P music videos being played on the big screens. Some very excited fans began screaming for their favorite members when they flashed on the screen.
Once ONE fan started to scream, other fans followed suit and screamed as well. Maybe it was because we were getting closer to the event, but it seemed fans just couldn′t hold it in anymore and had to let the excitement out!

All of the different fan clubs had their banners showing their favorite members and we saw this really cute one for the maknae of the group, Zelo!
We also spotted the B.A.P members′ families sitting next to the stage, cheering for their sons. Some of the proud parents even had signs and posters with their sons.

We heard the fans screaming so loud and even thought someone had seen the B.A.P members among the crowd. But the screaming was for the lovely TS Entertainment Secret nunas. They came to support the boys and they greeted the fans and waved back with the ′Matoki′ fan-sticks.
With the fan meeting set to start, the lights were turned down and the music stopped. There was a short moment of silence where we could feel the fans holding their breaths, all set to scream for their idols entering the stage.
We looked around us, and the arena was lit up with the spring-green ′Bunnies′ (Matoki) fan-sticks.

The stage lights shined brightly and we could see the shape of six tall boys on the stage, exuding B.A.P′s signature attitude and fierceness.
Bang Yong Guk shouted, "To all my BABYs, YESSIR!" and the fans cheered all they could for B.A.P′s first fan meeting performance.

B.A.P talked and played a lot with the fans throughout the show, and there was one moment where the fans had requested to see leader Bang Yong Guk′s abs. He became shy and tried to avoid it by saying that the dancer Jonggup is the one with the best body.
The fans however, didn′t give up and kept on screaming ′SHOW US, SHOW US!′ so Bang Yong Guk promised that if they won the rookie ward this year, they would do it together. (As we know by now they did win a couple of awards this year...)
Daehyun was voted as the ideal boyfriend by fans and he took it as a big compliment, thanking the fans by singing a love ballad.

We really enjoyed all of the performances and noticed the fans went crazy when they performed their debut song ′Warrior.′ Just hearing the words ′Warrior is back′ caused great memories to flood back from the happiness we felt for a rookie group that brought a new sound and style to the K-Pop scene.
The solo performances were also entertaining because we could finally enjoy the members′ individual talents and personalities since we often see them as a group.
Himchan’s solo performance of PSY’s ′Gangnam Style′ was particularly funny, as it fit Himchan’s playful personality.
Zelo performed a great cover of Wiz Khalifa′s ′Roll Up′ and everyone could see that the young boy enjoyed performing in English.
Bang Yong Guk later surprised the fans during his solo stage with a hardcore interlude, mixing genres, and we loved the dubstep together with his powerful rap! The rappers finished their solo performances by coming together on stage for their duet song ′Never Give Up′.
Jonggup’s dance solo was incredible and we were amazed by the emotion he put into his dancing. Youngjae, the charming vocalist, gave a entertaining acoustic performance and the fans sang along to his song.
One lucky fan girl was even chosen to join him on stage while he sang her the song, gave her a necklace as well as a hug. The fans couldn′t stop screaming at this point.

The entire fan meeting truly showed B.A.P′s different styles and concepts.
We saw their original macho side with ‘Warrior,’ ‘Power’ and ′No Mercy′ as well as their cute side with ‘Stop It’ and ‘Crash.’
There was a perfect mix of powerful, entertaining and playful performances, and we were able to see the members′ different talents during the solo stages.
The highlight, however, was actually witnessing the magic between the idols and their fans. Hearing the fans chant along to all of the songs must have been a touching and emotional experience for the hard working rookie group.
B.A.P proved to the audience during their first fan meeting why they are called ′Super Rookies′ and that they live by the motto their leader raps about: ′Do what you like, love what you do.′
