Global girl group A2O MAY had fans capturing the moment in Los Angeles with their album release party and debut performance of PAPARAZZI ARRIVE. The five members KAT (陈佳辰), MICHE (陈佳仪), SHIJIE (诗洁), QUCHANG (曲唱), CHENYU (晨予) highlighted their talents and charms, delivering a memorable night for their fans, MAYnia.
Fans and media were invited to attend A2O MAY's PAPARAZZI ARRIVE release party, where they were met with photo opportunities, fan engagement zones, goodie bags and a special performance by A2O MAY. Entering the venue everyone was able to enjoy their own paparazzi moment with a red, well purple, carpet to snap photos on.
A2O MAY, with A2O Entertainment and backed by K-Pop pioneer Lee Sooman (이수만), debuted in 2024 with single "Under My Skin," its success making them the first Chinese group to enter the U.S. Top 40 Radio Chart. They have since gone on to release powerful and confident "BOSS" and "B.B.B. (Bigger Badder Better)." The group performed earlier this year in Los Angeles at iHeartRadio 102.7 KIISFM Wango Tango, marking their first U.S. performance. A2O MAY explores a new genre of music, "Zalpha Pop," a term coined by Lee Sooman. Combining Gen Z and Gen Alpha, Zalpha Pop aims to blend futuristic sounds and production with emotional storytelling.
Their new album, PAPARAZZI ARRIVE, contains 14 tracks, including title track of the same name and both new solos and duets from the members. Those 14 songs "highlights each of our own skills, talent, and unique energy as a group." says SHIJIE.
On October 24th, The Vermont Hollywood was transformed with interactive photo zones; with magazine cover styled photo ops to step into, and large scale photos of the girls, fans spent the evening striking their best pose.
Billboard columnist, Jeff Benjamin led the night's performances as EMCEE before bringing A2O MAY out on stage.
Their performance kicked off with popular single "BOSS." They followed with tracks "Black Sheep" and "B.B.B (Bigger Badder Better)."
A2O MAY closed the night with their first live performance of "PAPARAZZI ARRIVE," fans excitedly cheering along. Before the night was over the members took some time to reflect on their last year as a group together, commenting on their accomplishments MICHE said, "It was a very hard summer for us five girls to gather together. Now we have overcame so many challenges and now we are stronger as a team, in our vocals and our dance. And now we are ready for our debut album PAPARAZZI ARRIVE."
A2O MAY surprised fans with a second performance the following day at Universal City Walk presented by LINE Friends. MAYnia gathered once again to support the artists and cheer on their new release. Each new release proving to be 'Bigger Badder Better,' A2O MAY continues to make a name for themselves across a global audience.
