Soloist BOL4, also known as Bolbbalgan4, serenaded fans with her impeccable vocal at The Theatre at Mediacorp on 10^th September. Bringing her “Love.zip” tour to our sunny island, this is the first time BOL4 is performing in the country and Singapore’s loBoly (BOL4’s fandom name which is an abbreviation of Lovely+Bol4) are brimming with excitement.

The concert started with BOL4 performing “Love Story” followed by “Tell Me You Love Me”, a hidden track off her RED PLANET album. BOL4 told the audience during the intro-ment that she tried to brushed up on her Singlish prior, and throughout the show she would cutely use the word “lah” when speaking, like “Hello lah”, “Thank you lah”, “I love you lah”.

She also mentioned during her intro-ment that she really wanted to visit the country after her friends shared with her how beautiful the sunny island was. After performing just 2 tracks, she understood why. The energy and reaction from the audience was the reason why they rave about the country.

Continuing the show, she sang “Chase Love Hard”, the fan chant during the performance was loud and synchronised and BOL4 even removed her in-ear to hear it better. Before the next song “You(=I)”, she invited the audience to sing along with her and even rehearsed the “heart dance”. It was truly an incredible sight to see the audience dance in sync. She proceeded to perform “From the beginning You and I”, “Stars over me”, and “Bom” before the end of the first part.

The next part of the show begins with BOL4 surprising the audience by appearing in the crowd. She performed “When love becomes goodbye” and “Mermaid” while strolling among the audience. Blue and purple light filled the space. She even received a flower from a fan. BOL4 explained that she wanted to sing “Mermaid” among fans because it’s a “fan song”, and she wanted to deliver a message to tell fans she always wants to stay close to them.

Switching up the atmosphere after another short break, BOL4 returned to the stage with an outfit change into a casual fit. The melody became more upbeat, and she hyped the crowd to stand up for her performance of the song “Rome”, “Seattle Along”, “Workholic”, “Travel” and her hit song “Some”. She even came down the stage again so that the audience can see her up close.

Proceeding to the last segment of the night, she sat by the side of the stage and serenaded the crowd with the song “Galaxy”. She thanked fans for always staying by her and introduced her band. She then took in request from fans and sang some of her older tunes such as “Butterfly Effect”, “Fix Me”, “XX”. BOL4 jokingly mentioned that the fans are testing her memory as she can’t recall some of the lyrics.

As the show comes towards the end, she walked around the stage and posed for fans to take photos to be kept as memories. When she back-faced the audience, the LED screen played the fan project VCR that Singapore’s loBoly prepared for her. BOL4 teared up while watching the VCR and loBoly even sang her a birthday song in Korean as her birthday is coming up in a few days.

She pinky-promised fans that she will return with better songs and better performance and proceeded to perform her last songs of the night, “To My Youth” and “Goodnight”. It was indeed a night worth reminiscing and we look forward to meeting BOL4 again!
