Red Velvet‘s Seulgi was BamBam’s special guest for this show. So, he had his customized BMW pick her up from the airport. Fans noticed it had “S1” on it and the AREA 52 logo. The guard’s car has the letters “SG” on it.

Yet, BamBam also gave Seulgi the opportunity to sing her solo music, including “28 Reasons,” on stage in front of thousands of fans. The concert-goers couldn’t have been more excited.

Fans can’t get over BamBam and Seulgi’s friendship. In one moment, he acted as her translator, and he also asked her to look away when he took off his shirt!

BamBam even rented his favorite restaurant to treat both Seulgi and the concert staff to a meal. He’s so generous!

From cooking for Minnie and Lisa whenever they go to his home to having a car fleet and personal security staff to escort Seulgi and renting a whole restaurant to feed her and the staff… He’s just so sweet and a gentlemen with his friends. https://t.co/PP8gQyQmCa

Fans have endless praise for BamBam, saying he is a true friend. Many are expressing that he treated Seulgi so well and promoted her better than her own company, SM Entertainment.
The fact that it was Seulgi’s friend who gave her this incredible opportunity, and not her own company, says a lot!!💛💚#SeulgiArea52inBKK#BAMBAMxSEULGI #ENCOREAREA52DAY#슬기 #SEULGI #BamBam pic.twitter.com/99kyQm02B0

Don’t let the amazing job seulgi did distract you from the fact that sm did not even lift a finger for her once again. NO announcement, NO promo, not a single post, just one measly rt from bambam’s own acc. this was all thanks to bambam and seulgi alone!
