Singapore, 2025 – BOL4, also known as “Bolbbalgan4” (볼빨간사춘기), which translates to “Blushing Youth,” debuted under Shofar Entertainment in April 2016 with her first mini album, Red Ickle. With her unique voice and talent for crafting meaningful, resonant lyrics, BOL4 has captured the hearts of many, solidifying her place in the music industry over her remarkable eight-year career. Just two years after her successful Asia tour in 2023, she returned to Singapore this January to reunite with her fans, affectionately known as “LoBolys,” at The Theatre at Mediacorp.

Returning after two years, Ahn Ji-Young, the sole member of BOL4, candidly shared her feelings of apprehension. “I was worried a lot because I haven’t been able to see you guys for two years,” she confessed. “But the moment I arrived, I received a cake and a collection of letters from all my fans, which made me realize, ‘Oh, my Singapore fans didn’t forget me!’” Her heartfelt words resonated with the audience, who cheered loudly in response, demonstrating their unwavering love and support.

The concert opened with fan-favorite tracks Galaxy and You and I From the Beginning, setting an electrifying tone for the evening. Ji-Young then took a moment to interact with the audience. Before performing her hit song You, she taught the crowd how to dance along, even inviting a fan to lead the choreography. Watching the fan dance, she laughed in delight, exclaiming, “The cutest person to ever do the dance!” When it came time to perform, the audience didn’t disappoint, enthusiastically dancing along. The energy in the room was infectious, and the moment remains unforgettable.

One of the most memorable highlights was her performance of Some, a personal favorite. The entire audience sang along, their voices echoing throughout the venue. Ji-Young beamed with admiration before cheekily exclaiming, “Shiok lah!”—a charming attempt at Singlish that had the audience erupting in laughter. Throughout the evening, she sprinkled more Singlish phrases, such as “Swee lah!” endearing herself even further to her fans.

Ji-Young not only showcased her vocal prowess but also made a conscious effort to engage and entertain her fans. Before performing Travel, she involved the audience in creating a unique fanchant. After some back-and-forth brainstorming, they settled on the phrase “Love you lah,” a special nod to Singaporean culture. The result? A powerful, unified chant that reverberated through the venue as everyone jumped and sang along.

During the encore, Ji-Young asked the audience what songs they wanted to hear, causing a frenzy of excited shouts. Eventually, she turned to the fan who had danced earlier and asked him to choose. He picked Space, and Ji-Young nodded, saying, “I heard Space is really popular in Singapore!” Fans also clamored for Chase Love Heart, and, in a display of generosity, she performed both songs. This gesture left the audience ecstatic and further demonstrated her commitment to making her fans happy.

As the concert drew to a close, Ji-Young made one final heartfelt request. “Make a promise with me! Promise me that you’ll come back next time. I’m pretty sure I’ll keep my promise, but I’m not sure about you guys!” she teased, playfully pouting. Her adorable demeanor melted the hearts of her fans, who no doubt will eagerly await her return. She ended the night with Dandelion, her beautiful voice leaving a lasting impression on everyone present.

Ahn Ji-Young shone brightly during her Bloom concert in Singapore, captivating the audience with her incredible vocals, infectious energy, and endearing personality. Her connection with her fans, coupled with her efforts to embrace local culture, made the evening truly special. As she promised, we look forward to her next visit—and I, for one, can’t wait to be dancing to You alongside her again!
