B.A.P's "1st Baby Day" has kicked into high gear with each member's individual performance.
Zelo and Bang Yong-guk, who are also the members of B.A.P's sub-unit duo Bang & Zelo, got off to a grand start with some critical messages about Korean school system, making their fans so thrilled to the two. With great energy, they performed "Never Give Up," which was rearranged into a hard-core metal version. An American fan who was about to leave the venue after the concert put it "freakishly cool."
According to the group's agency, about 4,000 people attended the event and 400 of them were foreigners who flew all the way to Seoul to see the boys.

Following after the duo's frantic performance was Dae-hyun's turn. With his soft and beautiful voice he crooned Korean ballad group 4Men's "What are you doing" and the 'babies' sat in rapt attention.
