Jovana (15) from San Paolo started lining up for the event at 7 AM with her friends, dressed in clothing with the words “I Love Cube”. She stated, “I have a lot of interest in Korean music and culture, so I look up stuff quite often. B2ST receives a lot of compliments on their performances, but I think what is most appealing about them is that they possess the vocal abilities and the ability to express themselves, which are needed to deliver the message of the beautiful lyrics.” She continued, “I hope B2ST, who has traveled a long way, can enjoy themselves during their first concert in Brazil like they have expressed.”

I think many fans in Brazil have been shocked by today’s performance. The energy exceeds what we have seen through music videos or shows. I believe that this performance will be the starting point for other K-pop stars’ venture into South America.”
