Best Absolute Perfect Experience
I have finally gone to a B.A.P concert. After years of waiting, they came to Miami. So what better way to share my experience than my lame attempt to write a one-shot about it all. Iâm not the best creative writer, so Iâd appreciate any feedback!Â
P.S. The ending was changed because Iâm a hopeless romantic, and Iâm writing this in the point of view of the reader. Itâs a work of fiction, so why not? Also, the photo used is mine.Â

Shaking. Your legs were shaking as you waited in line to enter the venue. Your emotions were running wild as you stared at the ticket that was scanned earlier.
B.A.P âForever" North American Tour
Row A, Seat#
Miami, FL
After almost seven years since their debut, four years since Bang Yongguk mentioned the city he wanted to visit; they were right behind those doors, backstage getting ready. It almost felt unreal that it was happening. The six men who crafted alluring songs and performances are here. The six men that guided you through important parts of life. You rubbed your BAP ring around your neck and calmed your breathing in order to attempt to stop the shaking. The actions were interrupted once the doors opened and the fans started to flood the venue towards their respective seats. You made conversation with a fellow BABY that you met online, and you two jammed out to the instrumentals being played. Soon after, you saw a herd of fans running towards the empty seats in the front. From the corner of your eye, you saw the venue manager laugh at our silliness. The venue wasn't as crowded as you hoped; we barely filled halfway.
Whether itâs one or a million fans, weâll show B.A.P love, you thought.
The lights dimmed and the cheers roared - the concert begun.
Ethereal. An adjective meaning extremely delicate and light in a way that it is unearthly. There stage presence was ethereal. For so long youâve seen them through a screen, watched their live performances, reality shows, when a member hosts, but as they performed before you, your emotions (and whole soul) practically left your body.
The boys performed four numbers straight, and you wondered how their stamina will last for the rest of the concert. Sweat was dripping down their face, glistering as the lights hit them. Their choreography was smoother than sharp compared to the videos youâve watched. Their stylistic vocals were intoxicating. B.A.Pâs stage presence was unfathomable.
âWe are B.A.P Yessir!â
The cheers ringed in your ears as the boys introduced themselves and gave opening remarks (which was being translated). Youngjae mentioned that Yongguk could not be with them for this tour, but they would give their best in each performance. And they did.
Himchan was beyond beautiful. No person can be this gorgeous. Itâs unexplainable. He worked hard throughout each performances covering his and majority of Yonggukâs parts in the songs. He had to bear that weight on his shoulders, yet he was phenomenal. However, you saw that he was practically drenched in sweat each performance. You hoped that he wasnât overworking himself. He needs rest. With everything going on with his case, he was timid and probably worried, to go on this tour. Even so, he made sure that we had fun. He even asked if we ate before the concert and to go eat after. You swore you made eye contact with him at least once or twice. The first time when you were practically sweating and trying to cool yourself off by flapping your blouse, while he was casually sipping his water. The second time, when he came in front of you and gave this smug look before continuing onto his part of the song.
The fancams and music show performances do not do Daehyunâs vocals justice. His emotion through each song was present. He wasnât lacking anything. No matter how many high notes he sings, his voice only solidifies. When he came close to the audience and sang at your camera, you wanted to flop on the floor. He did his solo performance, âBaby.â You read some of the rough translations online. You were crying because this man truly loves his fans. No matter how many times us, BABYz, say we love him more, heâs always fighting back. It is always a constant tug of war with him. Towards the end of the concert, he told the crowd that he discovered a different side of him here. You were stunned. A crowd that only (probably) filled ten rows had such an impact on him. Your heart swelled.
Your eyes always shifted back to Youngjae every performance. Something about the way he feels the music catches your attention every time. Not only that, his features were so stunning to look at. Your brother, that came along, even said that Youngjae was such a beautiful human. During the Q&A, someone asked if he was enjoying Florida, and this bird decided to say âsure.â The fans were confused and just laughed. Himchan interjected saying heâd like to come to Miami to play, but Youngjae said that Miami was expensive. You laughed at his statement because it was true. His solo performance, âFarewell,â was enchanting. His baritone voice could not compare to what you expected it to be. You found yourself tearing up in his performance for the lyrics was about a lover leaving him, yet he is asking his lover to be happy and bidding them farewell while reminiscing on their shared love. It almost felt like the song was him bidding the fans, that left, a warm farewell and appreciated their love for him. With those thoughts in mind, you silently cried.
His stage presence grew with every comeback. Jongup was intoxicating and dangerous. His reverse charm is practically his key point. Soft and fluffy Jongup during fan interactions and fun, heartfelt songs. Charismatic and sexy Jongup during the more powerful performances like âOne Shotâ and âHands Up.â His âTry My Luckâ solo stage left you awestruck. Your mouth was agape throughout the whole performance. The way his body moves with such fluidity was inhuman. Moreover, he demonstrated high skill levels in his vocals, rap, and dance. His persona on stage was enticing. Yet you were reminded of how dorky he was when he knocked Himchanâs mic during the last song number.
Tall, beanstalk Zelo was just a five-year-old boy AND a 22-year-old man. He can be a baby AND charismatic. His English was rather smooth and impressive. Along with Himchan, he also covered some of Yonggukâs parts during the performances. His musicality was shown through his original song, âHowler.â You were pretty sure that some girls were dead after he teased the fans with giving a peak of his tattoo. In contrast to that âsexyâ moment, you laughed at how he shimmed from house left to right. His comfortability on stage made you happy.
The concert soon came to a close with Zelo shouting out that he didnât want to go while cuddling an Angry Bird that was thrown on stage. Once the lights were back on, your legs gave out and you plopped on the floor. You just saw B.A.P live, and you were shaking again. Getting up once they started to gather those who bought packages for the photo ops and high touch, you took out the presents that you made for them. You made five paper roses to take pictures with them. Also, metal stamping was a hobby of yours, so you decided to make the rings. You were worried that they wouldnât fit or it would just go to waste and theyâd throw it away because it wasnât like Gucci or Tiffany. But you shook your head to get rid of such thoughts. Just them receiving it is enough.
You found yourself third in line for the individual photos. Your heart was racing because you were not prepared to see them up close. It didnât help when they appeared and lined up. You patiently waited for your turn until you realized you did not want to be holding the gift boxes during the individual photos since you have tiny hands it may fall. Before your turn, you made eye contact with a Korean staff member. You gazed towards your gifts and his eyes followed to your hands. He opened his hands and motioned at you. You were a bit stunned, at first, but you placed the gifts in his hands and thanked him.
Once your sweet little interaction with the staff was over, you were motioned by the theater staff to come up. The first person was Youngjae. He said hello, and you returned it with a shy smile. You gave him the paper rose from your pocket. He looked a bit shocked but thank you nonetheless. You didnât know if you could wrap your arms around his waist since manner hands are important in Korea but you didnât have time to think as the photographer started to count up. You took the picture and hoped that you turned out decent. He was going to give back the rose but you stopped him and told him that itâs his. He held it and gave a small âthank you.â Next was Himchan and (once again) he greeted you hello. You grabbed a rose from your pocket and gave it to him. His gaze was intense as his eyes went to the rose in your hand. He seemed confused but pulled you in for the picture. You both threw up peace signs for the photo. After Himchan was Jongup, he greeted you with a soft eye smile and it warmed your heart. You gave him a rose, and he thanked you. He brought you close and placed his hand on your shoulder (you were short). He placed the paper rose in front of his face as you two took the pictures.
Daehyun soon greeted you. Your mind blanked when it came to him. He was much tanner than you thought and it was beautiful. Unconsciously, you tried grabbing another rose from your bag but it fell in front of him. You heard an audible âohâ from him. You quickly picked it up and apologized for dropping it. He gave a smile and gestured that it was alright. He bent his head to come closer to you and posed with the rose and a peace sign. Finally, it was Zelo. He greeted you and you gave him a smile. You tried looking for a rose but you didnât feel anything in your bag or pocket. You started to look around on the ground. You and Zelo made eye contact as you were looking for it. He cocked his head in confusion. You went back to look for it, in hopes of finding it before the picture was taken. Yet lady luck was not on your side. The photographer started to count up to three. You heard an âohâ from Zelo, and you were panicking because he was counting fast. The two of you pulled into the pose. Your body was pressed against his chest because heâs a large bean. He posed by doing two peace signs around your small frame. You put a peace sign near your face. After it was done, you started to look for the rose again. âDid you lose something?â He asked. He started helping you with the very few seconds you had left. But to no avail. You knew other fans were waiting, so you smiled at him and told him itâs fine and you apologized while giving a small bow.
Gathering once again with other fans, you waited for the group photo op and high touch to happen. Waiting in line, you were shaking again. Your body was hot but you felt cold and empty. You started tearing up because you didnât know what was happening and decided to lean on the railing dividers the staff put up to breath. You felt eyes staring at you. Soon enough, your eyes caught Himchan. You turned around really quick to see if he was looking at someone else. You saw no one else near the railing. You shifted your attention back to him. He tapped Jongup and said something. This caused Jongup to squint towards your general. Your face was burning at that point. Being realistic, you thought that the two were talking about someone else or other things for after the show. When it was your turn, your eyes meet with Youngjae as you walked towards the group. You started the high touch with Youngjae. Then, Himchanâs intense gaze was on you again. Your hands stayed on his for a while, until you realized you were staring and taking up time. You coughed awkwardly as you heard his chuckle vibrate against his chest. This caused your mind to go blank (again) and make Jongupâs, Daehyunâs, and Zeloâs high touch quick. You asked them to do a pose you had in mind. Daehyun was the only one that gave an audible acknowledgment. You placed yourself between Daehyun and Jongup for the picture. Daehyun once again slightly bent down to reach your height while leaning against Jongup. Once the photo was taken, you faced the members and did a small bow before heading towards the staff that was giving out the posters.
âWait,â a voice startled you. You stiffened and were confused. So you being you, what did you do? You awkwardly turned around and tilted your head up a bit to look up at the person. It was Zelo. He put something in your line of sight. It was a paper rose that you made. âWere you looking for this?â He asked in slow English. Unable to form any sentences, you nodded your head. âMay I?â he asked as he motioned to the rose in hand. Confused on what he wanted to do, you nodded your head again. He hesitantly placed part of your hair behind your ear and put the paper rose behind it. You slow let out the breath you were holding when he retracted his hand.
âI saw you have in hair earlier,â he stated, âHimchan hyung thought it suits you, too.â Your face went hot from this statement. âToo?â You said before you can even think. Biting your tongue, you flushed even more. Zelo bashfully said, âI think it suits you well, and youâre quite pretty.â His eyes shifted elsewhere rather than your eyes. You chuckled at how adorable he was.
âI think youâre quite pretty, as well,â you boldly stated. The tall beanstalkâs ears turned red, and he thanked you. From the corner of your eye, you saw a staff member looking at their watch. You knew that it was time to go.
âThank you for remembering and coming to Miami,â you said, âIâm sorry we couldnât fill up the venue like we hoped, but I hope you felt the love from all of us.â
As Zelo was processing your English, you started to walk backward towards the exit. He saw your movements and hurriedly asked in short English, âNext tour? Come?â
âI wouldnât miss it for the world,â

âWhy? Thatâs what I keep asking. Was there anything I could have said or done? I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul. God only knows what went wrong and why youâd leave the stage in the middle of a song. Why? Thereâs no comprehending but who am I to try to judge or explain? Oh, but I do have one burning question. Who told you life wasnât worth the fight? They were wrong. They lied. Now youâre gone and we cry. âCause itâs not like you to walk away in the middle of a song â your absolutely beautiful song.â
You were the brightest star in the whole sky, Kim Jonghyun, and the world is going to be a darker place without you in it. Wherever you are, I hope itâs paradise. Please look after us, protect us, love us forever, and we promise to do the same for Jinki, Kibum, Minho and Taemin. Thank you for your heart, your spirit, your voice, your smile, and please know that the impact you left on this world, and all the joy you spread in your 27 years, will last forever.

No, Seriously.
It irritates me so much that people turn a blind eye to B.A.P. And no, this isnât just because I find them cute or hot or anything like that.
B.A.P is seriously the most different kpop groupsâ out there. I can say that with confidence. Absolute confidence.
Other groups out there produce the most trending music. They create hard dances. Show off their bodies and aegyo to get fans. At the end of the day, all of that fades. Bodies fade. Music trends die. Doing cute stuff when your thirty loses itâs appeal.Â
Itâs all be done before. A cycle of unoriginality mixed in with whatâs the most popular thing right now createsâ stardom. It ceatesâ main stream groups and the same old songs just with different keys and different vocals.
Hereâs where I make my point.
B.A.P, the six men that make up the band. It isnât all about smiling. It isnât about putting off the picture perfect boy group, where everything is cookie cutter with them. No, it isnât.
B.A.P has been through things most people never do in their lives. Contracts that pay them less money than minimum wage. Being forced to work when sick and having other issues. Eating disorders. Suicidal thoughts. Alcoholism. Lawsuits that make them lose a huge amount of their fanbases. Theyâve been through struggles I hope no one else has to go through, sincerely.
I was just minding my business today, but a song popped up in my head. Their song âWake Me Upâ. I listened to it, and unconciously clicked on '1004â. I watched their old episodes of Weekly Idol, and voyaged further back into their history. Watching their performances and their interactions.
In the end it left me thinking: Do people not see what the lawsuit did to them? Do they not see how strong they are? How they decided to put out harder songs about real issues in the world rather than gain back popularity with another generic pop song?
They donât have to dance hard to get your attention. They donât have to be the best rappers or vocalists to get noticed. If youâre open to deeper concepts than just a school love or sadness over a girl, B.A.P is perfect.
And thatâs what makes them unique to me. They chose being real and sticking to themselves when they came back from their hiatus. They chose to give out real concepts with their songs. Have you seen the 'Wake Me Upâ music video? The diversity? The emotion? How the members struggled throughout it?
What about the choreography? Where the leader walks through two other members. Where he takes back the leader position and leads the boys. It makes everything so much more intense, and my heart aches for him. For his axiety and panic disorders. I respect him so much for coming back. I respect all the boys.
Sure, you could go against me and say, âWhat about 'Feel So Goodâ? That song was just upbeat and smiley. Theyâre fake too.â
They have never been fake. They have never acted like a perfect group. Theyâre so much more than that. Yes, they put out a smiley song about happiness. But really, how often do they do that concept? How many of their comebacks were about dark situations and deeper stuff?
âBut my oppas are special too!â. Yeah, they are. But, just hear me out, whatâs their latest comeback about? It it about a girl? Is it EDM? Pop? Maybe they lift their shirts. Maybe they do some wild hip thrusts. Hell, they might even luck their lips and tease.
Is that wrong groups are like that? No. Each group has the right to want to be popular, and find the best way to do it. The only reason I stress this is because it shows how different B.A.P is.
Iâm happy your oppas are singing about their first loves and heartbreak when they arenât even legal yet. Iâm happy theyâre doing that. Genuinely. Itâs popular, and spreads K-pop around the world more.Â
Most people start off with the most popular groups before moving to others. So yes, let them sing their heart out. Let them dance in tight pants and shirts that are a little too unbuttoned because thatâs whatâs popular. And thatâs what spreads. Has B.A.P partaken in these actions? Hell yeah. But they donât make their career about it. Look at all their comeback songs. 'Badmanâ, 'Warriorâ, 'No Mercyâ, 'One Shotâ, etc. Tell me now, are they generic?
Long story short, before I make a book out of this, B.A.P deserves so much better.Â
They might never be the trendy group they were before the lawsuit, but theyâll probably always be the realest group out there. Pumping out songs that challenge society. More than many other groups out there can say.
Go stan them and stan them hard. They deserve it so much. You will never regret it.
Sincerely,
A big olâ BABY (fandom name of course)
