Rookie group BABYMONSTER kicked off their debut fan meeting tour, ‘[BABYMONSTER PRESENTS: SEE YOU THERE] IN JAPAN,’ on the 11th and 12th at Tokyo’s Ariake Arena, to resounding success.

The event witnessed a full house with all 26,000 seats, including an additional allocation due to overwhelming demand, selling out in no time.

BABYMONSTER set the stage ablaze with their debut track ‘SHEESH’, eliciting thunderous applause. They further mesmerized the audience with a diverse setlist, featuring the first-ever live performances of ‘LIKE THAT’ and ‘Stuck In The Middle (Remix)’ from their debut mini-album, a full-group performance of ‘BATTER UP’, and covers from their debut reality series.

The concert was a spectacle of explosive vocals, dynamic rap, powerful group dances, and electrifying live performances that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.

Despite being newbies, the members displayed relaxed stage presence, engaging the audience and heating up the venue.

The members had prepared special content for their first fan meeting, adding a personal touch to the event. They interacted closely with fans, answering random questions in a profile-making segment and creating unforgettable memories through interactive games like relay drawing.

BABYMONSTER members, including Asa who returned to her homeland, expressed their heartfelt gratitude: “We were nervous as it was our first fan meeting, but time flew by in the company of our fans. It’s touching and an honor to connect with so many people. We are grateful to the fans who enjoyed our performance and supported us.”

Having successfully launched their debut fan meeting tour, BABYMONSTER is set to take the show to Jakarta, Indonesia, on June 8. The tour will continue with performances in Singapore on June 15, Taipei on June 23, and Bangkok, Thailand, on June 29 and 30, marking their global footprint with a total of seven shows in five cities.

BTS member Jin has touched hearts once again with his kind gesture to support those affected by wildfires.

On April 3, Jin visited Gilan Middle School in Gilan-myeon, Andong, to serve meals to disaster victims and firefighters. His actions brought much-needed comfort to the people in the area.

Gilan Middle School is where celebrity chef Baek Jong Won, a close friend of Jin, has been running a free meal service through his company, The Born Korea.

Since March 28, The Born Korea has been providing meals for the wildfire victims, preparing 300 to 700 servings each time to ensure that the affected people and firefighters receive warm food.

Jin quietly made his way to Andong, a region that suffered extensive damage from the wildfire, to lend a helping hand.

Big Hit Music, Jin’s agency, shared, “Jin wanted to provide even a small amount of help to those affected by the wildfires, which is why he decided to participate in this volunteer activity.”

This heartwarming gesture follows BTS's large donations for wildfire recovery efforts. Jungkook donated a whopping 1 billion KRW, while V gave 200 million KRW, and RM, J-Hope, and Suga each contributed 100 million KRW to aid in the recovery.
