'He is for us': K-pop artist BM pushes boundaries and elevates fans for first solo tour

It was not a typical Tuesday night outside of East Village’s infamous Webster Hall, over a thousand fans dressed in their most seductive attire, ready for what they hoped to be an unforgettable night seeing South Korean American Rapper Big Matthew’s first solo concert, The After Party Tour .

The New York City native told amNewYork Metro he was first introduced to K-Pop during the pandemic; however, he felt that he couldn’t fully latch onto this style of music that can sometimes be over the top cutesy. Then he heard Kard, a South Korean co-ed group featuring BM, J. Seph, Somin, and Jiwoo. It was through BM’s raw rap style and his musical compositions that he became a lifelong fan.

BM has also discussed through Mindset that his name comes from a time growing up in Los Angeles where he was considered chunky, and earned the moniker Big Matthew. Understanding what it’s like to both grow up dealing with body insecurity as well as in a diverse community, BM makes sure to empower his fans making them feel beautiful no matter their ethnicity or size.
