B.A.P in fine form in Malaysia

After selling out tickets for its Taiwanese show in mere minutes two weeks ago, boy band B.A.P has also conquered the Malaysian K-pop chart.

TS Entertainment announced on July 16 that the group had risen to the No. 1 spot with its song “Power.”

The band’s feat was on a K-pop chart show on the weekly program “Nite Live” on Malaysian terrestrial network channel 8TV.

The newbie band overtook Kim Jun-su and Infinite to take the coveted spot.

Earlier, on July 4, B.A.P also appeared on an audition program “Showdown” on the same channel as a guest artist.

The band also performed at Kuala Lumpur on July 6.

“8TV thinks that B.A.P is a group like no other in K-pop and will continue to work closely with the band in the future,” said a spokesperson from the television network.
