AMPERS&ONE [&Dear My First_] Fan Meeting in Singapore

Singapore, 2024 – AMPERS&ONE (앰퍼샌드원) is a 7-member boy group under FNC Entertainment, consisting of Kamden, Brian, Jiho, Siyun, Mackiah, Kyrell, and Seungmo. They made their debut on November 15, 2023 with their first single album, AMPERSAND ONE. The first international stop of “2025 AMPERS&ONE FAN MEETING ‘&Dear. My First _’” is right here in Singapore!

The fan meeting began with a nostalgic flashback concept. The members appeared on stage in school uniforms, transporting fans back to their debut as they role-played as their fans’ new classmates. Who wouldn’t love to have the members of AMPERS&ONE as classmates? True to the theme, the first “assignment” was self-introductions. Their introductions were creative and unforgettable—an A+ effort, for sure!

In addition to their playful antics, the members displayed their versatility by performing a variety of songs. They started with a cute and sweet track called Sheesh, followed by upbeat songs like On and On that showcased their bright and youthful energy. Fans were also treated to a live performance of Over the Moon, a song they had never performed live before, making it a special moment for everyone in attendance.

The group showed different sides of their talent by splitting into two teams for cover performances. Kamden, Jiho, Mackiah, and Seungmo delivered a powerful rendition of TXT’s Good Boy Gone Bad, oozing charisma. Meanwhile, Brian, Siyun, and Kyrell charmed the audience with a cheerful and adorable version of TWS’s Plot Twist. Both performances captivated fans and highlighted the group’s range and appeal.

As this was their first-ever fan meeting in Singapore, the members ensured there were plenty of fan interactions. One highlight was a trivia game that tested fans’ knowledge of AMPERS&ONE. Fans who answered correctly had the chance to win exclusive prizes, including signed Polaroids of the members—an unforgettable keepsake for the eight lucky winners!

The fan meeting also coincided with member Siyun’s birthday, which made the event even more special. The members expressed their love by shouting, “Siyun, we love you!” and shared a heartfelt group hug on stage, prompting the entire audience to react with a collective “aww.”

There were plenty of lighthearted moments as well. During a dance challenge, Mackiah was supposed to dance cutely, but fans quickly agreed it was more “sexy” than “cute.” In response, Mackiah cheekily said, “I can make anything sexy,” sending the audience into fits of laughter.

With some members hailing from the United States and Canada, they effortlessly conversed with fans in English. They even incorporated local Singlish phrases like “alamak” and “swee lah,” which delighted the crowd and made the fan meeting even more personal and memorable.

After hours of laughter and admiration, the fan meeting came to a bittersweet end. “I really want to have fun with &dear all night long, but we do not have time,” the members said wistfully. They concluded the event with an emotional performance of their song Fly, leaving fans moved and already anticipating the next time they can see AMPERS&ONE.

It was an unforgettable experience, and fans left the venue with smiles, laughter, and the hope of meeting AMPERS&ONE again soon.
