SMTown Bangkok Fiesta 4

The concert began around 5pm++
They were late thou, we're waiting for so long, and before the concert actually started people already stand...gosh... i mean, don't you want to save some energy before running out of energy with the 5 hours concert? huuuufffhhh...
but what can we do, we have to stand too otherwise people will step on us...T_T
hahaaa... we even got separated with Maggie. Lucky girl, she's tall she doesn't need to find a perfect spot to stand.

The first appearance was Shinee
They danced to "Run It" by Chris Brown
It was awesome! especially Taemin...the magnae (the youngest among all the members)
and Key was so cute^^... he likes to look at the fans (with blank expression..lol)

everybody went high all of the sudden since their appearance...
the audience went crazy, and us, we're moving like waves. we're being pulled and pushed by the crowded. Damn it was horrible. It felt like a war...

I was like "If I knew the condition would be like this, I should have took the seating venue"
I felt like dying...haaiiizzz
and as time goes by, we actually got to stand so close from the stage. We stood at the second row in front of the stage (one people gap). yaaaayyy ^__^

The advantages: we could see the idols very very very close, and they could see us very clearly too!!! Super Junior Leeteuk even went to us and offering to shaking hands, and even took a letter from the fans and read it right away.

The disadvantages: It's a damn hot spot!! so many people want to took over our place, hence, they push and pull us around. So we have to be ready to defend all the time in those 6 hours.
another disadvantages were:
- the stage was so high, so short peeps (like me) wouldn't be able to see if the singers performed at the back side of the stage
- the sound system damn blocking the view!!!!!!! shoot!!!!

although I think other venues also have same problems thou...
but being used to attending westerners music concert, my expectations were high.

I mean, at the other concert I've attended, like Rihanna's, My Chemical Romance's, Gwen Stefanie's, and other musicians' makes me feel like this concert is so harsh. The people keep on pushing and pulling us around, as the result, we couldn't concentrate at the performance itself!
It was such a huge audience thou, so I didn't blame the artists from walking around since the stage arrangement was unbelievably huge.

Gosh, I really want them to perform in one simple stage (without stage wings and everything) so that we know where to stand to get close to them. sigh...
damn, life is hard T_T

I was so excited and anticipated for the moment I will get to see my Baby, Jung 'Uknow' Yunho...
At the first Dong Bang Shin Ki's appearance, Hug's intro, the heartbeat sound played.
Dang! I was like "owmygosh, owmygosh...this is it, this is the time..." I prepared my eyes and heart (not to stop thumping...LOL) finally I'm going to see them!!! the 5 Rising Gods of The East!

but guess what!!! I have to calm myself as I'm listening to their voice live but I couldn't see them!!!! They're at the most front stage (not the main stage). They came to the stage with cars. Shoot! it's my all time most favorite song! and I have to be patiently cried out...andwaee....

but when the rap song 'The Charm of the 21st century' by Yunho, Yoochun, Shindong, Donghae, and Key started,
'Gasp.....................................'(sound of blood sucked) U-know Yunho is in front of my eyes!!! in black suit with his diamond earring.

my response was:
stand, freezing, with dumbfounded look, I was so speechless that I couldn't make any sound. I felt like my brain stop working, and i threw the gift hoping that he'd pick it up (damn, i ald made a promise with Dilla that she'll be the one who'll tell me when is the right time to throw it to the stage!!!)~~~can I be more clueless??? ほんとうに ばかやろ!
LOL...even Dilla has to think first, she couldn't recognize leader-sshi...she was like 'who's that? he looks familiar' LMAO... coz I didn't make any sound!!!
this is also the reason why I don't have a single picture of him that i took with my camera with my own hands. every time he stands in front of me, i juz went blank and freeze.

hehehe..that's all i need to explain about my first impression to Jung 'Uknow' Yunho
I couldn't think about anything else... I couldn't see how good looking is he, how fair is he, how charming is he...i juz drawn to him...really, I juz like him more and more!

alritey! time to review on Dong Bang Shin Ki! (I'm so sorry if u find this to be biased...because i like them a lot. But I'm trying so hard to look from neutral perspective..arasso?)


Kim 'Hero' Jaejoong:
He's indeed gorgeous, but he looks really tired and pale there...so i guess he'd be more gorgeous when he's in better condition. He smiles by himself a lot..lol.. i dunno why.
but i guess...that's another dorky side of him (everybody knows how wierd could he be?..hehehe)
*kick by Jae & JJ lovers*
and he unbuttoned his clothes! showing off his masculine body...sigh...JJ... how could you expect your fans to be alive after they saw that?


Jung 'U-know' Yunho:
Hahaha...I'll try my best to judge fairly, okay?
He's tall..well, duh! He got pimples that day LMAO, and his face blushed to red ( I dunno why), maybe because of the heat???? from winter in Korea to the humid hot Thailand. He's cute and likes to monkeying around, doing jump and random dance!!!! *kick by Yunho*
but when it times to performing the SMP songs, damn I was about to faint!!!
his dance, his moves, his flow (sounds like G-Dragon's rap @Seungri's Strong Baby.. ;-p)
it kills!!! Yunho oppa!!!! aishiteru~~~!!!!


Park 'Micky' Yoochun:
LOL...I can't be bothered more about his hair! it was messy and puffy *slap by Yoochun*
but there was time when he pull back his hair (only abt 2 seconds), damn he's beautiful! okay, beautiful in a manly way! he's so fair and looks like a westerner. He's truthfully a cutie!!!!!


Kim 'Xiah' Junsu:
while I'm expecting for funny, adorkably, clumsy Dolphin to appear, but He appear so manly! He's so good looking and more handsome compare to the pictures and the videos. and there was a time that impressed me the most, when they sang 'Love in the Ice'. before his turn to sing the high pitch part, he raise both of his hands till the waist, close his eyes, and absorbed energy around him. We can tell that He really really enjoy singing and sings with his full heart. it really made me touched. Dilla also saw that, and he came to like Junsu more! (well, who doesn't??!!)


Shim 'Max' Changmin:
hhhyyyaaaaa...I luv him more after seeing him in real life!!! XD
He's soooo dazzlingly charming!!!! he shines so brightly (i know it sounds cheezy, lol)...but i meant it!!! when people said he's so cool on stage, I found him so attractive and he smiles all the time too (not like adorkably smiling by himself like JJ did! lol...*slap by JJ*) He looks at the fans so often! (or is it only me felt that? since I stand just in front of him)
in the middle of the performance, he unbuttoned his shirt!!! sigh.... Changminnie! did u intend to flood up the hospital by your fainted fans due to major nosebleed u caused??? LMAO XDDD
okay, one more thing to explain about him! His smile kills!!!!!

Changmin while singing Love in the Ice
blurry blurry, it's so hard standing straight steadily when it's TVXQ's turn to appear.



Super Junior M performed "U" and "Me"



TVXQ at ending



Super Junior Eunhyuk, Donghae, Kyuhyun, Zhoumi, and Yesung!



SNSD Taeyon, LOL i dunno when did i took this pic, but I felt that I din snap any picture of SNSD??? well, since the quality is quite okay, I'll juz put it here^^


okay, I wanna tell a story that really gave us a huge impact that night. in fact, it gave us huge impact up to now, and it becomes our everlasting story, that'll be unforgettable for both me and Dilla. This was happen in the middle of the concert.

We knew that Super Junior Heechul likes Wondergirls (specifically, Sohee...LOL). We knew that Heechul likes to dance to Nobody, Tell me, So Hot, all WG songs...
Thus, Dilla decided to make a banner 'Nobody but U 김희철' before, while waiting for the concert started. At first, Dilla put up a small towel with painted Hangul 희철... i was very sure he saw it!!! He took a glance at it, and do some kinda bow which looked like thanking to the fans. We were already scream to excitement!

after a while, she took the 'nobody but u 김희철' banner and put it up (eventhou i grabbed it harshly when i hold it and it poorly tore apart). but u know what???? Heechul saw it!!! with laughter, he danced to 'nobody' in 5 seconds!!!!
OMGee!!!!!! Me and Dilla looked each other and SCREAM like hell..Woooaaahhhh It feels like a dream!! being noticed by ur idol!!! it really become one of the best moment of our life!!! after that, Heechul became so special in our heart ^__^

and there was this funny thing, at the ending, all the artists stood in line in front of us. Super Junior was on front of us, TVXQ was in the middle. and there was this girl holding an SNSD lollipop balloon that blocked my view to them (no offence), i was so pissed!!! (coz she also blocked my view when it was Yunho's birthday celebration).
okay, back to the main story, I couldn't see TVXQ, so I juz take a look at Super Junior. I happened to look at Heechul, and he actually look at Dilla when she took a picture of Hankyung (also SuJu member), and how dumb, she also shouted 'Hankyung, Wo Ai Ni!!!' (hankyung, I love you)..hahahaha

so I spank her and scold her 'what did u do??? Heenim was looking at you??!!'
ROFL...LMAO...LOL...after i told her about that, she's dyin' of regret and feeling sorry for having an affair in front of Heechul.... ^___^

SMTown Bangkok Fiesta 3



Dilla, as a Petal & Undead!
she insisted to take pictures in front of Heenim's banner!!!

banners that attract our attentions were:
~ Prince Shim banner (for TVXQ Shim Changmin)..it's really huge! and the Cassies were kindly holding it everytime someone wants to take picture with it.
~ TVXQ 5 members in photoshopped pictures wearing Thai Boxing suits. honestly, I don't really like it.
~ Soompi forum team (from Los Angeles) walking around with "Soompi forum come here to greet TVXQ" banner in their hands.
~ oh, there was also Happy birthday banner for Super Junior Kyuhyun.

merchandise that attract our attentions!
~ Girls Generation huge lollipop toy!! gosh...it's freaking cute!!!
~ Girls Generation t-shirt which was wore by 2 western guys. It says 'Yuri is my Hero' in Pink ink on a white t-shirt.



a birthday gift for my Yunho which I supposed to give him at the end of the concert, and how fool I was, to throw it to the stage at the beginning and it didn't even reach the stage. so it lost in front of my eyes, in front of Yunho TT_TT...so, after that incident i really had a bad gloomy mood. i didn't even concentrate to watch the concert itself. I felt like crying every time I remind of it.

caption:
Dilla's (HeeBumIn~stands for Heechul, Kibum, KAngin)
Maggie's (U-know U Got Jaejoong (she's YunJae supporter)
Mine (Siwon, Prince Simba~ simba is siwon's nickname given by Heechul)


Me, Dilla, and Maggie.
Maggie, a friend we met there. Her mom is so friendly, and Maggie also kindly explain every time there's announcement
we're waiting in front of the stage to save the nearest spot to the stage.

She also likes Yunho & Jaejoong, and Heechul & Hankyung. what a coincidence huh?!
and she memories all their song lyrics u know? i mean tvxq, super junior, and girls generation's songs! even the smtown songs...
uummm...well, maybe we'll memories them too if we knew them a lot longer than this.
we're kinda new fans, remember??? hehehe^^



SMTown Bangkok Fiesta 2



Saturday, February 7th 2009

Here's the real deal.
The concert held on 7th February 2009 at Rajamangala National Stadium. the concert started at 5pm - 10pm.

we arrived there around 10 am, and people were already queued in front of the gate! LOL... the gate itself will be open at 2pm. so we had lunch first, walking around the area. It was so interesting, the fans were so enthusiastic. We could see that they are prepared all the banners, balloons, lightsticks, posters, merchandises, and the clothes! every artists have their own signature color for us to be acknowledge who we are.

TVXQ fans: red
Super Junior fans: blue
Girls Generation: pink
Shinee: silver blue

because I cherish both TVXQ & Super Junior, I couldn't decide what should I wear (beside, I don't bring any red t-shirt), so I wear neutral colour. but I hold red & blue lightstick, of course.




while we're waiting, we enjoy the atmosphere of fandom^^ hahaa and took picture surely




'Yunho u got me'....was quoted from Mirotic song, there's a lyrics said 'you know you got it!', and Micky & Yunho were high fived together after that.

behind the story of my banner, I have 2 banners, one is the "happy birthday Jung Yunho" and another one is this one. my friend, Dilla...also had a banner with "No Body but Heechul" written, but she didn't bring it because it's too big!
actually I ordered from my friend in small size, which we can hold and show during the concert, but it came out like these big....sigh....i really really felt like crying TT_TT



ready to go in, collect the ticket. we purchased the ticket online (thank god there's the english version) at Thaiticketmajor.com

we made friends there. Yeah, it's easy to make friends with them because we already have mutual interest. and the Thai people are so friendly!!! they are so nice, polite, and full of smile.
I met a friend called Maggie. She translated the announcements for us, and she even brought our bags when we went to the toilet. I'm so sorry Maggie TT_TT

SMTown Bangkok Fiesta

I know it's too late to write about this, because I was so busy catching up with my assignments and lectures after a 5 days out to Bangkok for the sake of watching SMTown Live in Bangkok which was held on 7th February 2009.

ok, I'll explain about SMTown now.
SMTown is a community of singers whose working under SM Entertainment management which centered at South Korea, and bring the Hallyu wave accross the region. the artists are some of the best in the industry. some of the legends are: H.O.T, BOA, Shinhwa, and of course my lovely TVXQ. They are the one who spread Kpop fever all over Asia, and the world!

the artists who came to perform at the concert: TVXQ, Super Junior, The Grace, Zhang Li Yin, Girls Generation, and Shinee!^^
unfortunately, The Grace could make it due to one of the member got injured and she has to be hospitalized (i guess?)

I insisted to go since Bangkok is closer than any other country where they held concerts at, such as South Korea, or China. Another reason (the main reason, actually ;-P) was because 6th february is my lovely number #1, TVXQ U-know Yunho's birthday! 2008 is the first year I became a Kpop fan, and this is his first birthday since I became his hardcore lover. and I get to celebrate his birthday together with him!!! hhuuwwaaaaaa~~~ ureshiii na'!! I'm glad I made it! ^^

I went with my family (my mom and brother) and my friend (with her family as well).

6the February 2009, the Press Conference day.

Okay, we were being greedy said we'll be on the spot (Parc Paragon, Siam Centre) early in the morning, but we ended up arrive there around 12 noon. It was damn hot, and the fans were already waiting there enthusiastically. I know TVXQ, the one I've been anticipating the most won't come up because their schedule. so..... I'll just wait for Super Junior then...



we juz arrived there and getting too excited! hahaha...this will be our first time experiencing the fandom world of KoreanPop. we really are a newbie here!!! we just started to know about korean pop artists since July - August 2008.

Everybody there seems to own complete merchandises..LOL
i was like...seriously, they sell all kpop things in their school like it's just so common there...not like us, in Indonesia or Singapore, it's so rare to find Kpop merchandise being sell! and all of them are adorable! i mean, they don't look like cheapskate stuffs. sigh.... i want them too!!!
we saw SUJU & TVXQ umbrella, and we asked some of them, 'where did you buy it?' they said 'at my school'...aahhh..i envy Thai fans!

we wait untill 4 'till the dance cover performance go to the stage. they are all amazing! they even did complete dress up & make up the same with the real artists! two thumbs up!
and a lot of cute boys up there! LOL




















I'm sorry, the pictures are blur because I can't seems to make my hands steady...LOL

around 5 pm plus, the real artists came and heated up the fans. it was really scary! Gosh....the fans went crazy and everybody wanted to go to the front so that they could see closer. I mean, it's not even the real concert yet! well it's indeed closer than the real concert tomorrow...but this really marked a deep scar (LOL...wth am i talking here?) to me, i felt depressed just to think about the next day, the real war which is the concert day itself. How would it be? it's only the PressCon yet it really heaten up the masses 'till i felt like dying there! I couldn't even breath! so I gave up after 10-15 minutes and i get off from the crowd and find place at the back (even at the back, we can't move and we can't get out from the presscon area, because it's closed since afternoon (restricted so that the mass won't be exploded..duh! already!).


there were:
  • Super Junior members except Heechul & Kyuhyun (they came but didn't attend the presscon), and Kibum (who didn't come to Bangkok, rumoured he stayed because his Mom fell sick) poor thing~~~
  • Zhang Li Yin
  • Shinee: all five members; Onew, Jong Hyun, Taemin, Minho, Key
well, u know what, i was kinda dissapointed with this presscon. while we have to wait so~~ damn long under the so~~~burn hot sunny, we can't see our top priorities! (fyi, my friend was waiting for Heenim & Kibum!( and they didn't come). and what i wanted to see is my TVXQ Jung "U-know " Yunho and the other TVXQ members ( i luv them equally!) ~well, I also like Suju thou, but still... i felt like it's kinda not worth it with those kinds of harsh conditions. But thank god i get to see Shinee!!!
I wasn't really into them initially, but after I saw them. I was impressed! i was like "WOW!!! these boys are surprisingly shining!" I mean, they have bright aura/charisma! Gosh damn it! they are so~~~cute!!! after that onwards, i officially became their fan as well (sigh...)

report on Suju, Shinee, Zhang Li Yin

Super Junior....
  • Leeteuk: He's such a nice leader! He's friendly, full of smile, attentive to the fans, and he's funny as well, and as just what we see from the pictures & videos, he's cute just like his nickname Angel Teukkie^^ ( he wore sunglasses that he admitted in the internet, he wore it so that in the pictures, he won't blink)...LOL...what was that???
  • Sungmin: He's cute! but he looks more manly in person (i mean, different image from what i we all know, that he's irresistably-adorable-cutie)
  • Hankyung: He looks exactly the same as the pictures & videos, just he's fairer in person
  • Siwon: Gosh damn it! He's so~~~~~ handsome! i expected it thou, but he has an aura of a model! his charm really brightens everybody around him!!! He's way better looking in person! and a total gentleman! sigh....i fell for him again that day^^
  • Eunhyuk: when in the videos we usually find him cute and funny, in my opinion, he looks different! i didn't find his 'cute-foolish-beingbullied" look. He's simply cool!!!
  • Kangin: he's getting fat (i'm sorry oppa TT_TT) *kicked by Kangin*, and he talked alot...LOL i didn't meant to talk bad about you, oppa~~~ *slapped again by Kangin*.
  • Ryeowook: He looks better in person, and more stylish
  • Yesung: me & my friend were totally in love with Yesung there!!! he's so kind, friendly, such a camwhore, and likes to make pose to the fans (while others are talking) for us to take his picture! yaaaayyy!!! WE LUV YESUNG!!! ^^
  • Donghae: he's so cool & stylish with that hat!!! and he likes to play around with Siwon.
  • Shindong: He's darn slimmer than we thought! i think it's because of his hair make him looks fat. but actually he slimmed down!
Zhang Li Yin: She's pretty, has a nice body, and humble ^^

Shinee:
  • Onew: full of smile all the time, and friendly! adorably sweet<3
  • Jong Hyun: He's cuter in person, less mature look, makes him more adorable^^
  • Taemin: DanG! he's really cute!!! without special expression already makes him just too adorable to resist!
  • Minho: as we expected, he's manly & mature. damn he's good looking (well, duh!)
  • Key: shoot! i fell for Key after seeing him here! he's shining so brightly. He's already fair, and wearing stylish white cardigan makes him unbearably charming! the first time i saw them, i told my friend 'damn, the Shinee kids are so~~~good looking..." i mean, they are waaaayyyy better looking in real life!! sigh....why should I fell for my dongsaeng? LOL




Happy 23rd (24th in Korea) Birthday my dearest Jung Yunho 6th February 2009
