“In this collection, I convey my perspective on love through dreamlike, blue-themed heart graphics which serve as the visual representation of love—a love that burns, a love that freezes, and a love that leaves emptiness. I hope everyone will immerse and dive into the various shades of love in this special and personal collaboration with Privé Alliance.”

As the show comes to an end, before exiting the stage, B.I signed the shirt he was wearing, removed it backstage, and tossed it into the crowd for a lucky fan.
It was a night full of love and music. B.I and IDs definitely had so much fun.
And if B.I said he would come back, he will! I know we’re all excited, but we’ll have to save and prepare till then. We can’t wait to meet him again this year!
