South Korea's boy group B1A4 were full of fan services and love for their fans (BANAs) at the KStar Fanfest concert in Singapore on 22 November 2014. Held at Marine Bay Sands Convention Hall, the event was a full 2-hour long concert including talk and interactive game segments.

Not a stranger to Singapore having performed here twice previously, B1A4 were looking comfortable and at ease on stage. They kicked off the night with debut title track 'O.K' followed by 'Beautiful Target', setting the perfect mood for a fun night. And indeed it was a night full of joy and laughter as B1A4 gave their utmost best to the 1,600 concert-goers.

"Singapore is a country with a lot of energy and I'm glad to be back!" Sandeul exclaimed. When asked if there was a place they want to go or food they want to try, Baro mentioned Sentosa (beach) while CNU wanted to go on the Singapore Flyer. And as expected, the unbeatable chilli crab was the group's favourite local food. Their love for the delicacy is so tremendous that Jinyoung described his ideal date as having a chilli crab lunch with his girlfriend before heading to Universal Studios Singapore!

The boy group listed their recent world tour as the most memorable part of 2014. "Unfortunately, we couldn't visit Singapore for the tour. So we are really happy to be here right now," says CNU with a bright smile.

During the first game segment called 'One Body One Mind', the boys were separated into 2 groups: Team Sexy (Baro & CNU) and Team Handsome (Gongchan & Sandeul) with Jinyoung as the referee. The game tests how telepathic and united the members are. The highlight of the game was when Team Sexy had to choose between the options APink and Girl's Day. Without hesitation, the two answered 'BANA' which led to louder squeals from the audience. Few rounds later when Team Handsome had to choose between SNSD members Taeyeon and Yoona, they gave the same answer, much to the delight of fans.

The night was made especially memorable for the lucky fans who were handpicked to go on stage and interact with the boys in the following game segment - Speed Charade. The themes were: Animal, Sport, Singer, Food and Fruit. CNU and Sandeul's team had a draw of 7 points. The two fans from the winning teams received a cap and a signed poster was presented to all the participants. The happiest of all must have been the lucky fangirl chosen beforehand to be serenaded by B1A4 during the 'Pretty' performance. Skinship, fanservice, linking arms, were just some of the gestures of love shown by the boys. The lucky fangirl was also gifted with a teddy bear and a stalk of rose.

As Jinyoung aptly described their local fans, BANAs showed that they were indeed passionate, warm and lovely fandom. It wasn't just the boys who were giving, BANAs showed their love by planning a surprise (belated) birthday celebration for Leader Jinyoung. A 3-tiered customized cake was brought out and the B1A4 members were asked to say a few words.

Sandeul: "There are lots of things I can learn (from Jinyoung). It's really great to stay beside you and hope that in future we can always work as a team."

Gongchan: "Happy birthday! As a leader, there may be hardships so I am really happy you're doing a good job. Thank you and please lead us well in future."

CNU (same-aged member): "We are friends and happy birthday! I'm thankful that we can share this event with our fans today. I hope to spend the 50th and 60th birthdays with you."

Baro: "We couldn't celebrate his birthday on the actual day but I'm really grateful we can spend it with fans. I really think my fans and members are the most precious things I can have."

The heart-warming messages the members had for Jinyoung reflected just how reliable and dependable of a leader he is. And sure enough, as Jinyoung said, the key to staying together as a group and resolving fights is "communication ... talking".

Nearing the end of the performance, the boys expressed their inner feelings and thoughts. "I really enjoy today and I thank my fans for not forgetting us. We couldn't have a chance to visit Singapore for our tour but we promise to do it for the next tour" said Baro. "I want to spend my time with all of you next year too!" quipped Gongchan. "I feel sorry that you guys waited too long. Are you all okay? I really miss you guys a lot even in Korea." added CNU. And so all good things eventually have to come to an end.

After the messages of love, it was time for the last performance ' You Are My Girl'. During the last performance, B1A4 members stepped off the stage to get closer to the fans who had rushed to the barricades. With polaroid in hand, the charming maknae Gongchan took selcas with some front-row fans and gave it as a parting gift. The night ended with an encore of 'In The Air' followed by a high-five session for 500 VIP ticketholders. It was a night full of love between B1A4 and BANAs. Solo day no more!
