South Korean rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and dancer B.I, also known as Kim Hanbin, successfully held a one-day concert in Singapore on June 7, 2024, at The Capitol Theatre.
The event kicked off with a DJ performing on stage, creating a lively atmosphere with upbeat music. The moment the lights dimmed and blue lighting filled the venue, the screen started playing B.I's intro teaser, heralding his arrival.
Deafening cheers erupted as he walked to the center of the stage, wearing a light beige sleeveless vest and pants, which revealed his muscular arms as he sang "Michelangelo."
The performer humbly greeted his fans in English:
"I hope you guys enjoy today. I'm doing my best to make this a memorable experience. I'll be speaking a mix of Korean and English since my English teacher is currently away."
The energy peaked as he sang one of his hit songs, "BTBT," explaining that it captures the "passionate feelings you experience when you meet someone or start a relationship," particularly the "powerful and rebellious kind of love we encounter in our adolescence."
Rapper B.I brought along a special guest, Leo, a South Korean-Australian singer-songwriter whom he considers like a little brother.
Together, they performed a collaboration song and some rap tracks. Leo continued to perform "Farewell," that was written by B.I.
Returning solo to the stage in a stylish black collar-tee and jeans, B.I performed "Tasty," igniting the crowd's excitement to new heights. He shared that he had written two songs specifically for his Asia tour, delighting his fans with their debut performance, followed by some dance numbers to further entertain them.
Throughout the concert, B.I made occasional trips off-stage to the HYPE ZONE standing area, where he took selfies, group photos, and interacted with fans.
Singaporean fans cheered loudly as he returned to the stage for his encore performance, dressed in a black sleeveless shirt and jeans. He sang all his hit songs, ending the concert on a high note with "Cosmos" as the final song.
B.I's concert lasted for three hours, including the encore. Singaporean fans had an "exhilarating and unforgettable experience, eagerly anticipating his return."
