B.I-PUBLIC-INTERACTION
A light in the Parisian night.
After the success of his first European tour “LOVE OR DIE” in 2023, going from Barcelona to Tallinn, ending in Munich, B.I is back on French soil for his brand new tour, organized by Live nation, “HYPE UP TOUR” which set the Zénith in Paris – France on fire.
Soloist since 2021 with his first solo album “WATERFALL” and its title track “Illa Illa”, KIM HANBIN, his real name, has made a comeback in the music industry much appreciated by his fans called “ID”. Followed by the albums “COSMOS”, “LOVE OR LOVED pt.1” and “TO DIE FOR”, B.I announced last year the start of his highly successful tour “LOVE OR DIE”.
We have collected the testimony of several fans about the artist.
“I saw him 6 times during his last tour, each date was special to me, especially Barcelona where I was able to show him the tattoo he had written for me 2 days before.”
“I have been following Hanbin since 2018, I have never been so happy to see him again.”
After participating in several festivals and opening for his tour in Asia, B.I is back in Paris, where he was long awaited. Going from Bataclan to Zénith in one year, we can see that B.I is very popular in France.
The show started with “MICHELANGELO” a rather rhythmic sound that put the whole audience in an overflowing energy. Followed by his classic “BE I”, the fans who have followed KIM HANBIN since his debut could feel nostalgia, which was confirmed with “One ond only”, two of his old solo titles that he produced during his career with the group IKON.
We were also able to meet the two members of the AITTY82 dance crew, Shawn and Yougbeen, already present last year, accompanying the artist during the title songs such as “Waterfall”.
During the song “4 letters”, B.I came down from the stage to meet his fans in the pit, a very touching moment that pleased them.
We were treated to some exclusive songs, such as “Girl” and “Freaky boy“, demos written during the last European tour.
These have reappeared on stage, which has conquered the IDs present last year, who since then, have been constantly asking for these two demos on streaming platforms. Are these the next title songs of the South Korean soloist ?
In any case, B.I did not stop there, it is with new demos that he sets the Parisian ground on fire. “Idol”, “Do my dance“, “Black velvet“, 3 rhythmic sounds perfectly representing the artist’s universe.
It is on a part of his title songs “Cosmos”, “BTBT” and “Tasty”, that the concert of B.I in Paris ends. The stars in the eyes that HANBIN put in those of his fans, are now in their hearts, with these words of “Cosmos” which resonate
“You are my cosmos, my universe”
*”Tu es mon cosmos, mon univers”
Our reporter’s words: “I had a lot of fun seeing B.I on stage again, his choreography, his interactions with his fans, really make him a unique and beloved artist. I really hope Hanbin comes back soon and is proud of the person he has become.“
