It has been less than two weeks since B.A.P wrapped up the Singapore leg of their Party Baby World Tour, and we’re still reeling from the two-hour madness that went down on 18 August. Killer performances and mandatory fan service aside, we’ve got more reasons why we just can’t stop raving about the adrenaline-filled night – Singlish shenanigans, alphabet fails, lost in translation moments and more.
#1 When B.A.P shook us with their live vocals
Seeing B.A.P has pretty much become a yearly ritual for the Teenage team, but if there’s one thing that remains constant about these guys, it’s that they never fail to put up a kickass show. More impressively, we all know how tough their choreographies are, but it’s amazing how they could belt out those notes effortlessly – 100 per cent live, we kid you not – while slaying the moves on stage. Lip syncing? What’s lip syncing when it comes to B.A.P?
#2 When they tried their hand at Singlish
Of course, no concert banter is complete without ’em taking a stab at our unique slang, amirite? Seemingly well-versed in our colloquial language – after all, it’s already their sixth visit to Singapore – the boys took turns showing off their adorable attempts at Singlish, which ran the gamut from the basic shioks and alamaks to borderline coarse terms courtesy of *cough* Jongup *cough*…

Oh boy, who taught you that?!
#3 When Himchan and Daehyun couldn’t alphabet
Himchan gave us all a good laugh when the lad got confused over the concert venue’s seating plan. “Why isn’t there any row Z?” the 27-year-old questioned, feeling even more baffled at the fact that there were people all the way at the back but none of them were from Z. Fun fact: MasterCard Theatres Grand Theatre actually goes from rows A to W, then AA to OO for the first floor. Can’t blame him though, even we were caught off guard at first!
Bonus: Daehyun launching into an impromptu rendition of the alphabet song, and failed cutely. (#YouTried!)
#4 When a lucky fangirl stole the show
One of the highlights we were all looking forward to was the boys picking out the best-dressed BABY in the crowd. A fan who sported “the same hairstyle as Yongguk” caught the eye of Himchan, and we gotta say, she’s got our nod of approval.
Hilarity ensues when the fan, who introduced herself as Anna, quipped that her favourite member wasn’t present on stage (aka Jongup, who was prepping for his solo performance). She then went with Daehyun for the special segment – sharing love shots and all – but couldn’t resist declaring her love for Jongup, causing the former to sulk like a kicked puppy. Jongup and Zelo appeared shortly after, swooping in for a hug with her before disappearing again backstage.
#5 When B.A.P called out the translator
When they say lost in translation, we certainly didn’t expect it to get as real as this. The assigned translator of the night, who’s a native Korean, seemed new to the job and was struggling to keep up with the translations. At one point, he appeared to have spaced out in the midst of translating Youngjae’s message, causing fans to crack up and a bewildered Youngjae to exclaim, “Why are you laughing? Is there a problem? I’m being serious!”
Understanding the situation belatedly, B.A.P decided to invite the translator up on stage. While giving the nervous chap encouragement, the cheeky members also didn’t forget to engage in some good-natured teasing with him. And ever the sweetheart, Daehyun praised him for his good looks and asked if he has a girlfriend (aww). Fortunately, the rest of the concert went a lot smoother after that.
Watch the hilarious exchange below!
“is there a problem? // “who?” // *everyone points to the translator* HAHAHAHSSKSZKZLS (ft youngjae’s cute laughter) ❣️❣️#BAPPartySGBoom pic.twitter.com/RRPDNoIxPu

#6 When they gave comeback teasers
“We’re going to release a new album in Korea. You’ve not heard it yet, but [do all of you] know about it?” Himchan asked. We half-anticipated B.A.P to give a sneak peek of it, and they did… sorta. When asked to sing a little of their new song, Daehyun teased fans by prompting them to count down, only to open and close his mouth. Nonetheless, Himchan added that “it’s a good song” and asked fans to “look forward to it”. We definitely are!
B.A.P will be making a comeback with their seventh single album Blue on 5 September.
#7 When one encore ain’t enough
An encore is a given when it comes to concerts, but TWO encores? When will your faves ever?
Just when the audience thought it was over and started getting up to leave after the ‘encore’, B.A.P returned for another surprise encore – dressed in T-shirts and armed with water guns – causing fans to scramble back to their seats to soak in the last moments. They ended the night on a heartwarming note with ‘With You’, the members tearing up as they bid their final farewells.
Now, it’s truly goodbye. Till next year, B.A.P!
