The global girl group A2O MAY held a special live fan meeting in collaboration with the chatbot service 'Blooming Talk', creating unforgettable moments with fans around the world.
On the 27th, the A2O MAY and fandom MAYnia heated up the 36 Space at M+ Yiyuan in Shanghai, China. Not only the fans present at the venue but also global fans connecting online created a festival that transcended borders. The venue was filled with energy from the fans' cheers and support from start to finish.
During the event, the service and future vision of 'Blooming Talk', which connects A2O MAY and fans more closely, attracted attention. 'Blooming Talk' is a unique platform that combines Human Talk and AI Talk, allowing A2O MAY members to share their genuine feelings with fans in real-time.
The representative of Chinese Blooming Chatbot, Kwak Seung-bin, explained that 'Blooming Talk' started from fans' concerns like, "Will the members listen to what I want to say?" and "Can we really have a 1:1 conversation?" He stated that all messages sent by fans are immediately delivered to A2O MAY members, and with its unique design, it reduces the burden of replies for members, allowing them to respond to almost all messages, saying, "Now, true 1:1 communication is possible, not just group messages!"
Kwak further introduced a new co-creative project where fans can vote to determine the message notification sound, elevating the atmosphere of the event.
The members of A2O MAY opened the stage with multilingual greetings for the special moment with global fans. They expressed, "The pieces of daily life that fans send us every day are a great gift," and shared, "Thanks to 'Blooming Talk', we feel closer to our fans like friends," warming the hearts of the fans.
The venue was further energized with various segments. A2O MAY teamed up with fans to challenge the attractive deep voice of CHENYU in the recent global hit song 'B.B.B'. Following that, during the 'B.B.B' dance challenge, fans and members danced together, uniting the venue.
In particular, when a portion of their first EP 'PAPARAZZI ARRIVE', set to be released in October, was revealed for the first time, the fans' cheers filled the audience, and excitement for the new song exploded.
The highlight of the fan meeting was a surprise slogan event prepared by the fans. When a slogan containing the message "MAYnia will be with you until it blooms!" was unfolded, the A2O MAY members shed tears of emotion, revealing their deep bond with the fans. The members expressed, "We were so happy to have our first fan meeting with you. Every moment today will be remembered forever," and sincerely shared, "We want to meet more often in the future." During the subsequent first fan signing event, they cherished precious moments by making eye contact with each fan.
Meanwhile, A2O MAY, which officially debuted last December, is captivating the global stage with the 'Zalpha Pop' genre that blends the sensibilities of Generation Z and Generation Alpha, under the production of Lee Soo-man, the key producer of A2O Entertainment and a 'global culture pioneer'. Their debut song 'BOSS' entered the US mainstream radio chart MediaBase TOP 40 for five consecutive weeks, setting the highest record for a Chinese female artist, and recently, 'B.B.B (Bigger Badder Better) [feat. A2O LTG]' topped the daily new song chart on Chinese QQ Music. On the 24th, they proved their global influence by winning the Rookie Group of the Year award at the 'Weibo Music Awards 2025'.
All eyes are on A2O MAY's new leap with their first EP 'PAPARAZZI ARRIVE' set to be released in October.
