Ok, so-- This is my set about the experience that I had on 9/4/10 at the SM Town Concert 2010 Live in Los Angeles @ the Staples Center. I decided that it should be my last set of 2010, or else I would have posted it earlier like I said I would. This set also includes my actual pictures that I took at the concert, as well as the professional ones that were just clipped. :P I made a set about this because it was a great experience that I wish everybody could have experienced- hopefully you get something out of this, for this was considered one of the best days of my life. :D
WARNING!!!! MY STORY/EXPERIENCE OF THIS EVENT IS VERY LONG, JUST GIVING YOU A HEADS UP IF YOU ARE WILLING TO READ IT. ;D
Oh- one more thing concerning me and my pictures- People assume that I am Mexican right off the bat considering the fact that I do look hispanic and live in southern california. Actually, I am half asian, half european. Filipina/Italian to be exact. No offense against mexicans & hispanics. :)
My Pre-Concert Experience; Koreaboo Kpop Meet Up
When I first heard about SM Town, I was hesitant on whether I should go or not. Why? Because I was scared my parents would say no. They had been mad at me for a while now bc of my suppossed "attitude." But things were getting better, so I got the nerve to ask them. I figured my dad would let me go to this concert because my youngest sister is going to a Justin Bieber concert in october. Thank goodness my parents said yes, but I just needed to pay for one extra ticket so one of my parents could go with me and my sister. My other sister (not the youngest one, but still younger than me) and I are unfortunatley the only ones in our family to have discovered the greatness of Kpop. But, my mom knew about kpop, and bc it is really popular in the Phillipines, she saw it alot when watching the filipino channel (TFC), so she wanted to see the concert to an extent, esp. Suju. XD Suju has become the most popular kpop band for filipinos. ;P Anyway, I had to search for tickets. I found out about this concert a bit too late to get any good tickets for a good price. But on one website I found two general audience seats, each $99.00. I wanted these tickets really badly, but there was only two. :( So, I made an attempt to convince my parents that only my sister and I should go so that we could have a chance to see our fave bands up close. Did it go through? No. :'( So, we ended up finding nosebleeds for $65.00 each, three together. Ehh, I hope my parents are happy. *Dies inside*
So, the day of the concert comes and I am getting ready, while watching a playlist of only SM Town artists music videos on youtube. :D I had made a shirt the night before that had all the bands names of which I was going to support: Suju, SHINee, f(x), & Girl's Generation. {Actual shirt is in the set} I danced to Nu ABO everytime it came on, for the summer before I worked hard to learn this dance. I wanted to leave at 12:30 p.m., to get there early to buy a shirt that I wasn't able to preorder at the Koreaboo Official Fan Meet Up. My mom decided last minute last night that she didn't want to drive to L.A, so we got our friend Renee & her boyfriend to drive us over there. This also meant that I need to get some to go to the concert with us that my parents would trust, but that was an easy fix. I got my friend Monica to come with. :) She knows nothing about kpop. {hint hint, foreshadow ;P}
We left late, but made up time on the road. When we got there, the search was on. Me , my sister and Monica walked all around the staples center looking for the meet up. We couldn't find it anywhere. Plus, Monica chose to wear heels, so we were going a bit slower than I liked. We saw people carrying around pink heart foam fingers, and wondered where they were buying them. I was getting really anxious cuz I was texting the person who was gonna sell us the shirts and she said she was at the meetup and that we needed to find her to buy the shirts. This made things even worse. We eventually gave up looking for the meet up, and decided to stand in the entrance where the artists were gonna enter if they already hadn't. While sitting there, one of the girls started screaming and we ran over to see what the rucus was about. She said that Siwon of Suju came out shirtless, and was having a hard time breathing. Figures, I would have to! :P She apparently got a picture of him, but wasn't showing it to anyone but her friends. -__- In other words, idk if this really happened or not. :/ Well, we decided to look for the meetup again, but this time we weren't gonna give up.
We saw people coming in and out of The LA Convetion center, all asian, so we figured we would look there. We followed everybody to the upper level, and all over the hallways were kpop fans sitting, chatting and listening to kpop. But, no meetup. We knew it had to be close, so we used the bathroom and split up. I ran down the halls and back up again, but found nothing but more fans with merchandise. I was scared at the fact that I wasn't going to be able to get a shirt, and it was completely frustrating. Then, Monica texted me and told me she found it, but at the same time my sister texted me and told me she found it. I was like omo~ what do I do? So I went to my sister first and told Monica to wait for us. My sister had found The Girl's Generation Official Club's room, Soshified. { http://soshified.com/forums/ } It was pink in there, really pink. Then I saw that they were selling the foam hearts I had saw people earlier holding. I thanked my sister for finding it and called Monica to come here first. When she got there, we went around the room hearing talk all about SNSD, there were raffles going on, and saw the cool trading cards they had all for SNSD. We wanted to buy the SNSD pack of stuff they were selling which included: a pink glittery glowstick (super bright), A "Lets go, Soshi, Let's Go!" pink towel, and an SNSD Foam heart {I am holding it in one of my pictures in the set}. The whole pack was $15, which was a great deal, I thought. They were also selling wrist bands, but I didn't get any (I now deeply regret this). After exploring in that room, I told Monica to take us to the real thing. Oh, & I was excited and pumped. ^_^
At one of the booths there was a big crowd around it, and me and Monica wondered why. We soon found out that timothydelaghetto {famous asian youtuber; http://www.youtube.com/user/timothydelaghetto2?blend=1&ob=4 } was there selling his shirts and taking pictures with everyone. I saw him and was like "OMG, timothydelaghetto from youtube!" Monica was like, who? So I told her to look at him and she then recognized him. We all wanted to get pictures, so we got in line. When we finally made our way up the line and I saw just how short he was, barley being taller than me. I watch him on youtube, so I thought he had been taller than he seemed when right there in front of me. I am only 5'1, so it was a releif that I wasn't excessively shorter than him. The picture we got with him was bad, so we decided to get another later after the crowd went down. After this, we noticed that the line in front of the SHINee booth was getting longer, so we decided to get in line. We didn't know what for or why, we just did it.
All of a sudden, Nu ABO came on. I was completley estatic, and wanted to dance it. But, at the same time I was afraid of being judged by people, but then I thought it over and didn't really care. As I started dancing in line, I looked around the room to see if anybody else was dancing the actual dance as well. Thank goodness there were a selected few others who knew the dance too. :D I made eye contact with one of the other girls and smiled, happy I wasn't the only one dancing. After the song was over, everybody like got into a dancing circle and started dancing. Me and Monica went over there to watch people dance, while my sister stayed in line for us. { http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pydq-7CLl_Y ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpnU5eluOtg } It was freaking awesome, and the really tall guy with the long sleeve shirt was a really good dancer. They played a melody of SNSD songs, and then a familiar tune started to play, but this song wasn't from a SM Town artist. It was Abracadabra by Brown Eyed Girls, & I couldn't resist. I got into the dance circle. I only knew the first part of the song and how the dance went, so I only stayed in for so long. { http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0Hbawbu5Y0&feature=related } {Yeah, I am in this video, but you only see the tip of me @ 0:09 on the very left of the screen} I wanted them to play Nu ABO again so I could dance to it, so I asked the DJ to play it, but he never did. :(
Next, we got back in line with my sister again when they decided to do a singing contest. I can't sing, so there was no way I was gonna enter. { http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8bdEZ9sTrI&feature=related ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8pa-1RitQ0&feature=related } While walking back to the line, I saw a girl wearing the shirt that I wanted to buy, so I asked her where she got it & she said that her friend was selling them over there and pointing in a certain direction. I said thanks and ran to look for the girl selling the shirts, but she was nowhere to be found. :( Monica wanted to rest her bare feet so she switched spots with my sister who was waiting in line, and me and my sister went off to look for the same girl that had the shirt on. Again, no luck, we couldn’t find her. This was such a bummer to me, for if I were that girl selling the shirts I would have told anybody who wanted to buy one exactly where I was. Didn’t she wanna take my money? -_- I guess not… Anyway, the singing contest was over and my sister and I went back into the line, disappointed. We saw that Monica was able to buy a pair of socks with a member of Trax on them. They were just too cute! ^_^ I felt really happy for Monica, because she was starting to take in the kpop scene. She looked like an actual kpop fan with them on. I didn’t know exactly who was on the socks, since I am not really into Trax. Plus, the writing on the socks was Korean.
XD I went over to the girls getting in line behind the stage, and noticed that they were getting in a certain order. I realized that maybe this was something that you needed to sign up for beforehand, saddening my expression. I then asked the one of the girls if it was, and they said yes. :’( Ehhh, I wanted to cry! Still with a little bit of hope, I went up to the lady running it and asked her if it was too late to sign up for it, and she said yes. What heartbreaking news this was. But I still don’t worry for I will get my day someday. :) So, me and Monica then left my sister in line again to watch the lucky contestants go up there and dance. Then, I heard Nu ABO come on, and I was like “Yay!” but I was still a bit sad. I still danced in my position a little bit, as the guy just did a random dance to the song. { http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrqBM4qRc6I } The contest went on, & here were some of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_WhcttNQ2c&feature=related ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzOXxWUvLVU&feature=related ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb0dcSNvISU&feature=related ; & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9w1HgpP60I . But my complete favorite was the guy that had danced all of the SNSD songs in the dance circle earlier, the tall one with the long sleeves, and he danced with his girlfriend to Run Devil Run, and won: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kyrQrTHbfg&NR=1 .
After the dance contest was over, Monica and I decided to go back to timothydelaghetto and retake our pictures, this time right. Then, we went back in line and finally decided to see what the line was all about. I pushed my way to the front, and asked the ladies sitting there what all the fuss was about. They said that at five, they were gonna start selling the SHINee merchandise they had. Oh, thank goodness we were in that line! :D Since I had barley gotten anything from this meetup yet, I wanted to buy stuff, esp. SHINee stuff! I went back to our place in line and I saw a yellow balloon on the ground, no one around it. I was like cool looking balloon, so I went over and picked it up. It happened to be a BoA balloon, and really cool one too. I realized that I forgot to put BoA on my shirt, but I still like BoA and her music. I asked around it if anybody had dropped it, but no one claimed it. So, I went back in line to show Monica and my sister, and Monica was like, “Omg, BoA is performing?!” I was like, “You know who BoA is?!” It turns out htat Monica really liked BoA, but didn’t know she was gonna be going to a concert to see her. :P {Told you about the foreshadowing ;)} Then we started to take pictures with the balloon we had. {One picture of me with the balloon is in the set. In this pic, Monica is there but you can’t see her cuz I edited her out. :P Just click on the picture in the items listed if you wanna see who she is}.
When it finally reached five, they started selling the items. The line still went pretty slow… ehhh, I was becoming pretty impatient, and there was barley anybody in the room except for all the people in front of this booth. The first girl ran out of the line with a SHINee glowstick in her hand, and her face expression just completely overly happy. :D I felt happy for her, cuz I knew I would be feeling the same way as soon as I got mine. But, I opened my mouth too soon. The ladies selling the merchandise announced that they only had balloons left. :O … … … … I was speechless. :’( & super sad. They also mentioned that there weren’t many left. I had gotten here early to get some shirts that we ended up not getting, couldn’t dance to Nu ABO, and now I barley had a chance of even getting a SHINee balloon after waiting for two hours in that line! :[ All I could think was the fact that I couldn’t buy any of this stuff anywhere else, and it really gave me a deep depressing feeling. But the good news was that when this announcement was made, half of the people in line left upset, leaving me with a higher chance of getting a balloon. They cost 2 for $1.00. When we finally got up there, they told us they only had one balloon left, and asked if we wanted it for $1.00 because they didn’t have change to give us back. I didn’t hesitate, and I bought it right anyway. I must have been the happiest girl in the world at that moment, knowing that I got the last balloon. On our way out of the center, I blew up the balloon happily, and kept it in front of my face when walking among the other fans to show just how much I supported SHINee.
There were now many people all around the staples center by now, and I mean TONS of people. All of the ELFs were grouped together, and everybody seemed super excited. :D We decided that we were gonna wait at that same place were Siwon supposedly came out, just in case the artists hadn’t arrived yet. We didn’t stay there for long, because the security guards told everybody waiting there that there was nothing for us to see. So, we then decided to walk around the Nokia Theater plaza and see what was there. While crossing the street between the two, a girl asked me if she could buy my heart foam finger off of me. Due to my current situation of not being able to buy anything but the little I had, we walked away from her. Well, this was also because she stopped us in the middle of the street, and we needed to get out of the way of the cars. She seemed ok with this, and continued walking to the other side of the street, but I felt really bad, for I was going to say no anyways. She had nothing… and I felt this feeling too, even though I had just what she wanted. I then felt thankful for what I got, for at least I got something. :) When we were in front of the Nokia Plaza, they told me they were hungry, but there wasn’t many places where we could eat. Across the street where we came from, there was an ice cream man with a cart selling ice cream. We jumped on the chance to get some “food,” and hurried back to the other side of the street again where the staples center was. Man that Ice cream man was walking fast! ^_^ I had to run to stop him, and let my sister and Monica catch up. He didn’t have any lucas bars, so I got a watermelon cup. My sister got a chocolate ice cream, and Monica must have been hunger because she got two big chocolate cones. :P
We were near the entrance where I wanted to enter at, so we walked over there and got in line. The lines were already long, and we should have gotten there earlier, but the SHINee Balloon was totally worth it, for it was the reason why we weren’t in line early in the first place. We started eating our ice cream, and it was delicious. I needed some sugar to get pumped for what I was just about to go into! XD A new line started forming at a door that wasn’t opened yet and had just been opened, and we were moved into that line by a lady who was really nice. :] I was playing Lucifer out loud on my ipod touch, and we hurried and ate our ice cream so that we could take some pictures before we went in. {Picture on the left of the set was taken at this time, and it has my sister in it, you just can’t see her :P}. Some girls had noticed Monica’s socks and came up to us, asking us who was on her socks. We told them that it was someone from Trax, and they said they were cute. Somehow, they got in front of us in line, but we didn’t really mind, for they were nice girls. ^_^ We were talking about kpop when another girl that was these girls’ friend joined us, and also noticed Monica’s socks. She then asked who was on them, and we told her, but she didn’t think it was anybody from Trax. I then questioned Monica if she really got them from a Trax booth, cuz the girl said that the Korean words read Kibum of Suju. Monica then said that she did think it was a Suju booth and not a Trax one that she bought them from. Oh, silly Monica! XD
We all then talked about who we were here to see specifically, and one of the girls asked to read my shirt. They all read it, and then asked who was my favorite group I was supporting, and I told them it was SHINee, and one girl became really happy and gave me a high five. :D But the other girl was like “I like Suju better… Why is Suju first on your shirt then?” I looked down at my shirt to notice that I did place Suju before SHINee, and I told her that it was a mistake I had made but couldn’t fix by the time I had noticed. I then mentioned though that it didn’t really matter as long as they knew I was here supporting them. The girls was really nice about everything, and the one that like SHINee better then talked about her love for G-Dragon. XD Oh, was she obsessed! :P I told them about how I also loved JYP, like 2am & 2pm, and they said they were ok. :) I am glad they accepted my opinions, because it would have been ugly if not. :/ We also talked about how a lot of people here were coming from all over the United States just for this concert. These girls asked us where we were from, we told her only an hour and a half away from LA, and they were surprised. They told us they thought that we had come from a different state. Idk how they figured that, but I didn’t mind. :P The G-Dragon lover girl and I then noticed a group of men making their way through the crowd. In the middle was a man that looked familiar to me, and his name was on the tip of my tongue. Then I remembered who it was, and I was like “Hey, it’s Derek from dancing with the stars!” XD Baha, what was he doing here? Was he a secret fan of kpop? ;D The G-Dragon lover cheered for him and we all joined in, but people looked at us as if we had seen an idol and we stopped. :P
Finally, it had been time for the doors to open to the Staples Center. The line again moved slow, but it gave us time to take even more pictures. Right before I went through the doors, I told Monica to take a picture of me. {Picture to the far right in the set} Little did I know that that would be the last time I would see my SHINee balloon in perfect condition, for the security lady told me that balloons weren’t allowed in the center. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! >:( Did this b*tch have any clue what I went through that day and how happy this balloon made me??!?!?!? I put aside my anger and asked her if I could inflate it, and she said no. B*TCH!!!! So I gave up my precious SHINee balloon to that b*tch… I couldn’t believe it. :’( This was probably the saddest feeling I have ever had… EVER. I went through the metal detector, nothing went wrong, gave them our water bottles, and let them scan my ticket, and waited for Monica & my sister to go through. Monica came to me and tried to comfort me, but it didn’t work. Then she went back to the lady, got the yellow BoA balloon and popped it and took the popped balloon with her. I asked her to do the same thing with my SHINee balloon, and she did. :’D I am so thankful to Monica for that, for today I still do have my balloon, even though I can’t blow it up. Next we moved on to see the booths inside the center for the actual concert themselves. There were many pink SM Town balloons on the back of the booth, and some girls asked the booth people if they could have a couple. Many people saw this and made an effort to get the balloons before they were gone, and luckily were able to get one each! :D WHAT NOW BALLOON KILLING B*TCH! XD If balloons weren’t allowed in the center, then why were they allowed to have balloons on their booths, hmmm? Idiot… {Sorry for my language, I really despise this lady, as you can tell}. I saw many people carrying around program books, and I wanted one, but we had gotten in too late and they ran out. Again, Monica my life saver, got two program books from these girls who didn’t want them. XD Ahhh, we were too lucky! :D
We wandered a little bit around the bottom floor to see what kind of food they had, but there was nothing we were interested in, so we decided to make our way to our seats. Like I said before, my seats aren’t that good, they were nosebleeds. :/ Ehh, at least I was in! >.< We took the big escalator to the top floor. When we got up there, we saw a McDonalds and decided to settle for that, but first find our seats. I knew exactly where we were going, for it was the same exact section that I had sat at for the Jonas Brothers Concert I had went to here. We got into our seats, and Monica said she would stay back and watch the stuff while my sister and I got the food. The concert was supposed to start soon, so I wanted to hurry. The McDonalds was close to our seats, so we got there quickly, but there was a semi long line. I wanted to get a large icee for myself and a large fry for Monica, while my sister, still quite hungry, wanted the 10 pc. Chicken Mcnuggets and a coke. While waiting in line, the people in front of us were talking about how so many different types of people were here, but they didn’t like this fact. Yes, they were Korean. No, I didn’t really mind anything they were saying, but my heart felt broken. Did a lot of Korean people have this opinion of others listening to kpop? I shook off this feeling, for it was our time to order. We waited about five minutes for our order, and it cost a total of $20 for just four items! O.o Talk about expensive, jeez… I heard screaming inside the arena, and we started running to our seats.
My Concert Experience: Once Inside
We got to our seats, and thankfully nothing had happened yet but some random screaming. I gave Monica the fries, and she ate them happily. :) I realized just how much I was carrying and tried to situate all of it under my seat. The only problem we had was finding a place to put the balloons, so we finally decided to inflate them. I popped my sister’s by accident, and I felt really bad. She looked sad, and I kept telling her I was sorry. We took pictures of the stadium filling up before the stadium became dark, and everybody started screaming. Monica had finished her fries, my sister had finished her meal, and I had my icee on my side since I knew I would be screaming a lot. I had my camera, which I didn’t really plan on using, my sister had my other sister’s camera, which she was going to use to record everything, and Monica had hers for when BoA came out. We were ready to see the best concert ever. ^_^
As the stadium became dark, there was a thunder of screams. I was one of them crazy fans screaming out too. Monica screamed a little bit, but my sister stayed silent since she was recording everything. Monica and I turned on our bright pink glowsticks and waved them around happily. I then took in the whole scene: On the main floor, there was a whole section of SNSD fans altogether, for that section was basically glowing pink. On the next section up, I could see all of the SHINee and Suju blue glowsticks lighting up, along with a few scattered red ones for I am not sure which group, and more pink ones scattered. There was also one lone green one… and I wondered what band it was for. In the nose bleeds on our level, there were only a couple of glowsticks, and I was happy that I at least had one. Also, on the floor seats there were really cool light up signs with Korean writing on them, and I remembered seeing those types of signs on Live Kpop performances on Mnet and other various kpop performing shows. Those were really cool! XD
The songs I was excited to see be preformed were:
Super Junior- No Other, It’s You, Sorry Sorry, Super Girl
SHINee- Lucifer, Ring Ding Dong, Replay
F(x) - Nu ABO, Chu~
Girls’ Generation – Gee, Oh!, Run Devil Run
BoA – Eat You Up, Hurricane Venus
Now, since I have already written a lot, I am only going to tell you guys the most memorable moments during this concert, or eles I will just be writing on forever. :P
1. The Intro Video
I remember when this came on that I had a hard time seeing who was in each scene of the video, but I at least knew what was happening. The SM Town artists were moving these big letters all together to spell SM Town concert. There were random screamings for certain people as they each moved the letters, and I really wished that I could see who each of them were. ((You have no clue how much I regret not getting better seats)) & as soon as this video was over, Sunday came out and sang. :) She has such a sweet voice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x55l7WTPOak
2. F(x)’s LA chA TA & Chu~
I remember this well because I was wonder where Amber was when F(x) first came out to perform LA chA TA. It was a bit disappointing, but not too much, for I was just too happy! ^__^ I remember the Chu~ performance because there was a whole bunch of tension for Amber’s rapping part in the song throughout the atmosphere, & I could just feel it. But then to everybody’s surprise & joy, Minho came out & did her part! :D I was sooo happy because Minho was my bias at the time (no worries, my bias switches to him often still) & I screamed my head off for that sexy boy!! XD Monica was freaked out by me :P Then I remember being mad that NU ABO hadn’t been performed yet because I thought they weren’t gonna do it if they weren’t gonna do it just then… silly me! XD
LA chA TA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfIlZGa1nGc
Chu~: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2N2Ann7tRw
3. SHINee’s Stand By Me & Replay
Well, before SHINee had performed at all, there was much tension for me to see them. & everybody knows that I am a huge Boys Over Flowers fan. So, the moment I heard the very familiar song melody at the beginning of this song being played, I freaked. XD I totally did not expect them to even sing Stand By Me… :P Plus, it was the first song that SHINee came out to sing, so it got me even more freaked. I remember that while they played the familiar melody from the beginning of the song that it was completely dark, and everybody started screaming from the recognition of the song & knowing that finally SHINee was gonna come out. Then, when it was time for Onew’s first Verse, a very bright light shone on him. Gahhh! XD It gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. I think it was just really bright for me, cuz I am probably over exaggerating… lol. :) ((I can’t find a fancam that has that beginning melody in it, so the one provided will just have to do, sorry)) Right after the song was over, the boys started to get into a familiar formation… the one for the beginning of Noona Neomo Yeopo. I recognized it right away & said to my sister: “Omg, they are gonna do Noona Neomo Yeopo!!!!!!!! Record this, RECORD THIS!!!!!” XD She was like: “Ok, ok, settle down, I am!” & I sang out loud, and screamed my heart out once again… *Omg, I am tearing up just thinking about it!*
Stand By Me& Noona Neomo Yeopo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EhDp32IkmI&feature=related
4. Super Junior’s Super Girl
I remember when Suju came out to perform this because it was their first song, and I swear that the stadium seemed to get a whole lot bigger to me… Ok, yeah I am crazy but, I swear it happened! XD This is a song that my boyfriend loves as well, so a soon as I saw Suju performing this, I got out my phone and called him. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: Right in the middle of a super loud concert?! No worries, I didn’t plan on trying to talk to him, just leave him a voice mail of the audio of the performance. Good thing he didn’t pick up, or that would have been an awkward conversation I would have had to have with him later… TeeHee :P But yeah, I called, got to the voice mail, put the phone under my seat while it recorded, and scream & sang, always trying to keep my eyes on KyuHyun, cuz he is my bias, and a sexy one at that! :P Oh, and while they were performing, Monica told me that the guy in sunglasses looked like my boyfriend cuz he always wears those types of sunglasses. :D I had to agree with her, but I could recognize who it was from Suju… ((If you watch the video below & know, plz tell me! Thnx))
Super Girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbcPRk2zyYU
5. Super Junior’s No Other & Sorry Sorry
Well, this is my favorite song by Super Junior besides It’s You, and it was great anticipation for me to see this song performed. When they did finally perform it, I went crazy, because they happened to be up closer to where I was sitting so that I could actually see their faces from where I was sitting, but I was still pretty far away. Plus, Kyuhyun just looked really good on the big screens when they showed him. :) I remember the sorry sorry performance because they stated it off with a remix, which I don’t particularly like. :/ I always watched Suju perform the song and they always did remixes of it when the original song of it is obviously better… Luckily, half way through the song, they started singing the real version, which made the fans even happier. :D
No Other: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD6EbJIqo0s&feature=related
Sorry Sorry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLbWxU0FQ2A
6. F(x)’s NU ABO
This song has just gotta be one of my favorites kpop has ever produced, and I learned the dance, so you can just imagine how much excitement I held for this performance. Like I said before, I was afraid they weren’t gonna perform it because they hadn’t earlier, but I had spoken too soon, for why wouldn’t they perform it? It is their biggest song… So, I can’t remember what was performed right before this, but after that performance, it became dark in the stadium, and then that beginning sequence of NU ABO came on. I estatically jumped up, but then quickly got back into my seat. I sang loudly and danced the whole song, and Monica watched me while being amazed. Through me & my dancing, she saw just how dedicated kpop fans were to kpop. :)
