Big Bang hit the stage at the Beijing MasterCard Center on June 5 and 6 on their “MADE” tour. The 25-song set list included past hits like “Tonight” and “Bad Boy,” as well as “Loser” and “Bae Bae” from their “M” EP and “Bang Bang Bang” and “We Like 2 Party,” the two songs from their most recent “A” EP released a week ago. Beijing was the first city to see “Bang Bang Bang” performed live on stage.

Meanwhile, boy group Beast was in Tianmu Stadium in Taipei on June 6 for its concert “2015 Beautiful Show in Taiwan.” The two-hour concert included Beast’s most popular dance tracks such as “Good Luck,” as well as slower ballads such as “12:30” and “On Rainy Days.” The members gave individual performances to show off their individual strengths as well.
Taiwanese fans also prepared a surprise birthday party for member Dongwoon. The 4,500 tickets to Beast’s first solo Taiwan concert in three years sold out in just one hour.
