2009-07-04~05 Choc 7 Guest Perform At Lollipop's "I Am Legend" Concert

Choc 7 were the featured guest performers at the opening of Lollipop's "I Am Legend" Asia Concert Tour at the Coliseum in Hong Kong.

They did an orderly and entertaining group performance on the Chinese Drums. From the video, WeiYu and YeShou are on the large bass drums and clockwise on the standard drums are Aben (out of view), LiQuan, XiaoMa, XiaoLu and MaoDi:



Choc 7 also performed 'Tai Qing Chun' and 'Deng Shen Me' from their new EP, with choreography particularly suited to the four-sided stage. During the instrumental bridge of 'Tai Qing Chun', Choc 7 did a much anticipated, live-band performance on the instruments they have been learning:





In addition, Choc 7 performed with Lollipop for the martial arts inspired song, 'Cang Jing Ge'. This was choreographed as though Lollipop was battling with Choc 7. Choc 7 were dressed in black and red imperial kung fu costumes:





In the dance break of 'Cang Jing Ge', MaoDi performed a Taekwondo routine with WangZi:

Choc 7 also performed Lollipop's 'YES' from their first album and 'Hei Tang Xiu' from the Brown Sugar Macchiato (Hei Tang Ma Qi Duo) Soundtrack, wearing very colourful costumes:



At the end of the concert, each member of Lollipop gave a short speech. WangZi talked about his close relationship with brother MaoDi. WangZi asked the audience who he had known for the longest apart from his parents and everyone already knew that he was going to talk about MaoDi.

Against a backdrop of their childhood photos, WangZi revealed how MaoDi had informed him about MoFanBangBangTang whilst they were shopping at the mall where auditions were being held. As it was summer holidays, they decided to try out. Unexpectedly, they were both selected for the show.

Hence, WangZi thanked all their fans for supporting them to this day and giving them the opportunity to perform in their own groups.

WangZi also expressed how he was too shy to tell MaoDi that he loves him. Despite predicting that MaoDi would throw up if he was onstage, WangZi expressed his love for his brother with five words from an Aaron Kwok song: 'I can't stop loving you'.

This next episode of Yu Le NP3 features Choc 7 rehearsing for Lollipop's 'I am Legend' Concert in Hong Kong. Choc 7 will be doing a special performance on Thai drums. YeShou and WeiYu are responsible for playing the bass drums so everybody has to follow their tempo. In particular, Aben expressed that the beat is very complicated and is making him pull funny faces in concentration. With their intensive practice regime, blisters are also forming all over their hands.

2009-07-05 Choc 7 Fans Event in Hong Kong

On July 5, Choc 7 held a Meet and Greet event with their Hong Kong fans. They certainly made their fans happy with their generous display of fan service. LiQuan even applied lipstick on a female fan, whilst XiaoLu massaged another lucky fan.

Choc 7 were asked whether they found Hong Kong fans to be overly passionate. The group replied, 'the more passionate, the better!' However, Choc 7 would not go as far as to allow their fans to pash them. In addition, one of their managers joked that MaoDi's mother would hit him if she caught him kissing anybody, as he is the youngest member of the group.

Furthermore, Choc 7 hopes that their fans will put safety as their first priority and follow road traffic rules. The group got a fright when forty vans of fans chased after their own minivan. About two to three hundred fans attended the event.
