Brand New Music duo MXM held their first Match Up fan meeting in Singapore on the 4th of May 2018.  As contestants of survival programme Produce 101 Season 2, Im Young Min and Kim Donghyun have showcased their talent, debuted and gained many fans who anticipated their fan meet.

The duo arrived in Singapore in the afternoon of 2nd May and were welcomed by fans who have been waiting for hours. We welcome Young Min, who had lived in Singapore for five years, back, and Donghyun who is visiting Singapore for the first time! In the evening, they had the time to visit Gardens By The Bay, and they looked like they enjoyed their time sightseeing as can be seen from their tweets.

On 3rd May, MXM had an open press conference, which drew a huge crowd of fans who came from school. Some even queued from the morning. Lucky fans were chosen to go on stage as MXM signed posters to them. During the press conference, we learnt what they have done in Singapore and some of their travel essential items.

Fans arrived at the venue of the fanmeet hours before it was scheduled to start. Excitement and anticipation could be felt as fans gave out freebies and started queuing up before doors opened. Screams got louder when figures were seen onstage and the boys started the evening off with their debut song, I'm The One. Screams and cheers erupted and some fanchants could be heard as well. They then performed Perfectly Perfect, another song which lifted the atmosphere in the venue. The first game tested the chemistry between the two members, where they had to choose one of two options. Every time both of them got the same answers, Young Min would attempt a high five with Donghyun in different ways, which got fans screaming as it was an adorable scene! The next game was pictionary, where three selected fans had to guess what the member was drawing. The fan who guessed the most number of pictures got to bring home one signed drawing for the member, and you could feel how much the audience wished they were on stage. The next two songs they performed further lifted the atmosphere. Just Come Out and Errday got the audience waving their hands and heads to the beat of the song, and some fans even shouting the fanchant. The next game was charades where fans had to guess the movements of the members. And the fan who guessed correctly the most would get a polaroid picture taken with them! During this game, we witnessed Donghyun dancing to the legendary Hollywood dance, which Brand New Boys had danced in Produce 101, and we saw the audience losing their chill as well. After the game, a video conveying gratitude was shown to the boys, and the audience raised banners. A cake was presented to them as well, and a picture was taken. After that, the boys headed back to prepare for their next stage and this instant, fans gathered to the front to catch a better view of the boys for their last stages. MXM ended the night off with Being Objective and Diamond Girl, and the fanchant for Diamond Girl was the strongest that night. Their encore song was I Just Do, where they spent most of the time waving to fans. The fanmeet ended off with hi-touch and photo op session, and some lucky fans got to have a polaroid taken with MXM and some won signed posters as well. Thank you MXM for coming to Singapore, and the memorable night. You guys must have had a long and tiring day, but you put up smiles for your fans and we really appreciate that. Hope to see you guys soon!

//hi-touch and photo op experience
my sister was in front of me holding a donghyun board and she went pretty fast and i was holding the youngmin board. youngmin was first so i think he saw my board and he smiled so sweetly and brightly i squealed a little before saying that i really like him in korean and i think he said thank you but really really softly? am ded. then i told donghyun in korean that he has worked hard and i looked into his eyes and he said thank you in english aaaaaa. wished time passed slower then!!!
and photo op, unfortunately, me and my sister were separated, and i was the first person aka i had little interaction time with them. so i literally shouted to donghyun in korean, that i am a twin too!!! he was waving to the fans in the front row then, but i think mxm did not expect that exclamation out of the blue, and both of them burst out laughing a little. i even heard younmin's laughter which was louder than whatever he said during hi touch!!! and then donghyun asked really???? in korean. ok bless this i told donghyun i have a twin too :-)

till next time x
