Rookie group B1A4 amazed the public with their level of popularity after it was revealed that tickets to their first Japanese showcase were sold out in just 1 minute!
The boys will be putting on their first show in front of Japanese fans and local media at the 'B1A4 - Japan Showcase Live 2011' on December 9th in Tokyo.
As soon as tickets went on sale, a flood of eager fans overwhelmed the site and caused the server to crash. During the second round of sales after the crash, all the seats were sold out almost instantly. Those fans who weren't able to get their hands on a ticket have been pleading for an extra date, and some have even paid up to 100,000 yen (~$1,300 USD) for one ticket on auction sites.
B1A4 has signed with Pony Canyon, the same Japanese agency as Hallyu star Jang Geun Suk. It's an unprecedented feat for a rookie group, and with this new development, it proves that they've got a lot to offer.
In related news, B1A4 will follow up their "Beautiful Target" promotions with "My Love", a second track off their mini-album.
