The venue was hot before the four members of one of the most successful co-ed groups in K-Pop hit the stage and we were in for a ride. The queue for their show started at 8 AM in Camden Town, with all the colors of the rainbow in hair and outfits brightening up an already sunny day.

When the members entered the scene, the crowd cheered for BM, J.Seph, SoMin, and JiWoo as they took their positions to start off with the very successful hit 'ICKY'. The day before, BM had been teasing the London crowd about singing along with the 'sexy British accent', and the crowd lived up well to the expectation. Singing along every line, the group was welcomed on stage with a bang.
