BamBam, a member of K-pop boy band GOT7, wowed Filipino fans at his first solo world tour in Manila.
“Last year, the time that I came here with Jackson [Wang], you guys really made me impressed. I love your energy so much so I wanted to feel the heat before I start the world tour so I chose Manila as the first place,” he said during the press conference at Gateway Mall 2 on Sept. 21. “First I wanna welcome everyone to my first solo concert in Manila,” he said. The show’s title “Area 52” is derived from Area 51, a secret US Air Force facility in Nevada that became a subject of rumors about UFOs.
As a treat to his Filipino fans, BamBam performed “Raining in Manila” by Lola Amour twice and “Ngiti [Smile]” by Ronnie Liang. During the press conference, BamBam said Dara “has taken good care of me when we became Abyss family. You know I was kind of surprised that we got close really fast because, you know, she’s kinda quiet and she doesn’t really, like, talk and we don’t really text a lot too.” He added that Dara wanted him to eat “balut” while in Manila.
