B.A.P Announce Their "Live On Earth 2016: Awake" Tour including Europe

12402027_955763511175812_2596178861436657998_o

It doesn’t seem that long ago we were reporting that K-pop boy group B.A.P would be gracing the UK as part of their “Live On Earth” world tour. And with all the commotion surrounding their long break from the industry (yes, one year in the K-pop world is a long time for inactivity), there didn’t seem too much hope of the boys returning to the UK any time soon, nor that they would embark on another world tour.

But we have some good news!

B.A.P’s managing company, TS Entertainment, has just announced on its official Facebook page that the boys are ready to dominate even more countries, to perform for even more fans and to hold even more shows. The members will be embarking on a 15-country, 30-show, 200,000-fan world tour titled “B.A.P Live On Earth: Awake”.

A teaser trailer was released to excite every Baby (B.A.P’s fanclub name) which revealed that Germany, the UK, Poland and Russia will be some of the key stops for the tour. They will also be visiting USA, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Taipei, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, China and of course Korea. But teasing fans even more was the information that the tour will begin in February and that more countries will be added at a later date.

If their previous concert that I caught is anything to go by, I am more than 100% sure that these new concerts are going to be unmissable. When the group came to London in 2014 there was a huge buzz amongst the crowd; the screams and singing were deafening, and the crowd participation was on point. The concert itself was highly anticipated by European K-pop fans, and B.A.P certainly delivered one very memorable event.

Be sure to keep checking back to MCM Buzz for updates about the B.A.P concert, and for any K-pop concerts coming to Europe. And be sure to show your love and support for B.A.P’s most recent release from their Matrix album: “Young, Wild & Free” below.

Exclusive Interview: Boys Republic get personal before their Royal Tour

Boys Republic_Real Talk

Most of our dedicated K-pop readers will have seen the news that the K-pop boy group Boys Republic are coming to London Islington Academy on July 4th as part of their “Royal Tour“. Tickets are already on sale so be sure to grab yours as soon as possible.

Members Wonjun, Sunwoo, Minsu, Sungjun, and Suwoong have already sent their greetings to their European fans and are really excited to see everyone. So whilst they were still hyped up about their upcoming tour, we managed to grab a small interview with all of the members to see what makes Boys Republic a Korean boy group to watch.

– — – — – — – — – 

You debuted in 2013 with “Party Rock” which bought a new flare to the K-pop world. Did you ever think you would get as far as you have today when you first started out?

We really appreciate all the fans who have supported us over time. It is all about them as to why we are here now.

What are Boys Republic’s favourite video games? Are there any games that inspired your music video?

We love to play GTA (Grand Theft Auto) and FIFA.

Your music is being listened to worldwide, what do you feel sets you apart from other artists? 

We are not afraid of trying different types of music.

The dance choreography to your music can be very hard. Who out of the group is the best dancer?

Sungjun and Minsu easily master the choreography, especially Minsu as he learns choreography very fast. For new songs we practice more than two months before we start TV promotions.

Who is it that inspires you all? Is there anyone (from around the world) that inspires you to do what you do?

Always The Beatles, Shinhwa, and G.O.D.

I recently watched one of your videos where the members dressed up in funny costumes. Just watching I felt embarrassed for you all, but what was your most embarrassing moment performing?

During one of our performances there was confetti and one piece went into one member’s mouth during the performance. It didn’t get caught on camera and fans in front saw it and laughed at them.

Fanservice is a big deal, especially for international fans. You had done a Lazer Tag fan meeting once. What other activities would you like to do with your fans in the future?

We’d like to do a charity event with Royal family.

Your last group release was “The Real One” in November 2014 with a modern Vs classic concept. Do you have any plans to release a new album or song for 2015?

Of course! We can’t tell you the details, but it will be awesome!
(E/N: Boys Republic have just released their new single and music video “Hello” which you can see below!)

“Rookie King: Boys Republic” was a much loved TV show for fans worldwide, allowing a bridge between the idols and their fans. How would you like to interact with your fans in the future?

We want to hold a small concert with fans.

You are travelling around Europe on your tour soon, but have any of you previously visited any of the countries you are going to? 

It is our first time to go to Europe and we would love to go to all countries, but Paris, France should be a must!

And lastly, do you have anything to say to your UK fans, and readers of MCM Buzz?

We hope you will keep supporting us please!

B7klan To Bring K-pop's "Boys Republic" To Europe

BR Flyer

The K-pop world is a cut-throat business, but it’s an industry that is becoming popular world-wide. Forming a new group comes at a cost, with training routines often lasting years before a band is even able to debut, but one group which is hoping to secure their place throughout Europe is the K-pop rookie boy group Boys Republic.

Our good friends over at B7Klan and Torpedo Productions are hosting Boys Republic’s first ever European tour. Titled ‘The Royal Tour‘, it will be stopping at eight destinations across the whole of Europe and is promoted as being a ‘Must Go To Concert’!

Boys Republic will not be alone on this tour, as K-pop crossover pop pianist and MCM Buzz favourite Choi Soo Min will be joining the boy band to wow the crowd with even more of his talent and exceptional piano skills. Previously, we featured a brief interview with Choi Soo Min, in which he said that he would love to come back to Europe soon, and now, it looks like his wish has come true!
