Sundown festival Seoul'd Out Concert 12.12.09 (part 2)

okay, this is the part which everyone has been waiting for!! haha, the more popular pop acts started to come up. =]

first up was Mario& Park Sin Hae. wow, this girl can REALLY SING. her vocals was like super powerful!

i din manage to catch a pic of her though. mario's english was very smooth and nice! they sang quite a number of songs like "never say goodbye" from My Girl OST and Mario even did his own version of "Kiss me through the phone". they also sang "umbrella" by Rihanna and got the whole crowd singing along and grooving tgt. i think the audience were really cooperative as we followed and did whatever was being asked for. for example, raising of hands, singing along to certain parts such as the "ella ella eh eh~" part and also screaming whenever he said something along the lines of him loving Singapore. haha. i rmb he said,"I love Singapore. abit hot but. BEAUTIFUL" and everyone was like "AHHHH~~~~"

the atmosphere was so HIGH! everyone waving their hands and jumping to the beat (but when hands are waved means cannot take photos or vids cuz will get blocked. haha. )

following up was Lee Ji Su. I had to admit that i dun really noe who he was till he sang one song from My girl OST too. vids from the show came up and when Lee Jun Ki appeared on the screen... madness. haha. but later on, ppl started to hear that this guy can really sing! he had a really nice vocal and his techniques were good! as he belted out more and more ballads, i could feel the crowd growing to accept him for who he was. as for me, i'm gg to start looking for his songs. his live was really strong, powerful and soulful =]

PLUS, he was quite cute and funny. haha. in the beginning, he tried to speak english and used simple english to introduce himself and also say that his career started with what song (could not rly hear properly). den he said his english not very good and said something like "pls enjoy my music" in korean. afterwards, in between his songs cuz he dunno what else to say alrdy and the sound people keep giving him some time( in case he want to say something when he din want to) so he had to say, "Music start" to cue the music in. LOL. everytime he said that, the crowd giggled. LOL.

at about 10pm, the first pop group finally came up! T-MAX!!!! Yunhwa was really delicate while Mi chul and Kim Joon were really active and jumping ard and all. i regretted not taking a vid of them cuz they really noe how to make the audience high!

i loved the way they interact with the audience. in one of their songs, kim joon was shouting, "when i say T~~ you say MAX~~ T~~" and the audience went "MAX~~" and we rallied on for awhile, loud and clear. den, kim joon gave the thumbs up sign and smiled at us like an accomplished child. hee. cute.

michul's english was quite good too so he was asking if we will visit korea and all den he was like "say??" and we went, "yes!!" den he asked again and we replied, "yes!" again. after two times den he was like "so SAY YES!" and their song "say yes" came up. haha. damn cool =]

after the song ended, he shouted "SINGAPORE IS PARADISE!" then fireworks shot up and the song "almost paradise" came up. =] =] Loved their performance! so energetic and high!

sis was saying that yunhwa is like a go minam existence in their band. haha. cuz kim joon and michul took off their jackets due to the heat and only yunhwa kept his jacket on. yunhwa also had a higher pitched and more angelic kind of voice lol. but i was rather impressed by their live and think i'm gg to start taking note of this group from now on. =]

after them, it was the group that drew the most screams and melted the most hearts!! FT ISLAND!!! (look at the amt of cameras O.o)

too bad they din get to play live though. they were hand synching. only the singing was live. well, their starting wasn't really very enthusiastic prob cuz they could not play live but things picked up after Barae when EVRYONE was practically singing along and jumping ard and atmosphere was HIGH HIGH HIGH! they were prob encouraged and just performed their hearts out. =]

well, i can totally understand their feeling. like a rock band that doesn't play live? if i'm in that band i'll feel down too. but lucky they still had fun on stage and the response from the audience was still as enthusiastic as ever. =] GOOD JOB BOYS!

hongki aka jeremy~~~~~ so so powerful vocals!! super charming on stage. =]


chun li hairstyle of the day. haha.

looking at these photos i'm rather happy. hahaha, cuz we managed to get quite a front and centre spot. heehee. but its really kudos to my sis for holding the camera and taking all these pics. its REALLY difficult to get a good shot with all those primadonna flags waving and hands in the air. plus, you have to fight with the NUMEROUS cameras trying to catch a shot of them too.

Now, videos to feast on. =]=] i can never get tired of rewatching this vids cuz i still cant believe the fact that i ACTY watched them perform on a stage and that they were just SO SO close to me. haha. we din even need to fly to korea to watch all these korean acts perform. =DD

their first song was Hangajimal:

next was BARAE!!

when the starting of the songs came up, EVERYONE just screamed like hell. LOL.
then followed by bing bing bing!!!!

hongki did a little cute dance in the front but i din manage to catch it. sad...but he did the small round about thingy though. hee. =] =] and i was jumping along while singing haha so do pardon for the shakiness of the video. its really difficult to hold the cam still when u're like so excited. once in awhile we forget that we are recording so it gets a little shaky. hee.

den it was FT VS PRI. this vid is in two parts cuz got tired den stop for awhile. LOL.

the lightings from this part onwards sudd became very bright so very diff to take the boys faces clearly.

love all the small smiles that they have while they are singing. hee. =] =] if u see the amt of hands gg up to join in the singing u can see how diff it is to get a good shot. haha. but i dun blame them, cuz my hands must have blocked ppl behind too. LOL. oops >.<

lastly was the (planned) encore whereby FTI left the stage den the hosts ask us to shout encore and FTI came back up. O.o

den they sang sarang alhi aka LOVESICK!!!! one of my FAVE FTI songs of all times!<333

i din record the full performance for this cuz i wanted to catch some pics. at the end of this performance, they acty had these small sparklers thing that had a burst of sparklers. but hongki was standing too near to one of the outlets and he had a small shock when it came up. HAHA. his reaction was cute but lucky he wasn't hurt. =DD

anyway, during the performance, we could see that hongki was mainly looking more at the seunghyun and jaejin's direction. prob worried and on a lookout for SH?? such a nice hyung.. aww... cuz the previous day on the way back to the hotel room from rehearsals, some girl went to pull SH's hair that left him angry and he even pointed at her. but that girl, being a CRAZY fangirl went to post say what ppl jealous of her cuz SH is love at first sight. ROFL. wake up la.

SH being the newest member of the group alrdy had some anti fans b4 this so prob that's why the other members are more on a lookout for him ba.

oh ya, jonghoon was like SUPER active during the whole performance!!!haha, since he doesn't sing, he was hand synching all the way yet he could still keep such a high level of energy!! sliding from his side to the centre and back, jumping around. hahaha! super high!

as for hongki, he did an amazing job with his vocal parts even though a sore right eye must have been uncomfortable. his sore eye quite obvious in this pic:

as for the rest, i think everyone performed well, giving out some fan service from time to time. haha. cuz i was too busy taking videos i din really take much photos of the other members (and even if i did, it wasn't clear) so i got some pics from the soompi forum, credits as on the pics.

cool and cute SH who kept his jacket on till the end. not hot meh? hahaha. i'm beginning to like him. =]

minhwan puffing his cheeks durign the performance. haha. dun think its fun playing on padded drums but he still made it look fun. =] poor boy need more SPOTLIGHT and attention! he's too far from the back and they dun even give him enough light to stand out. O.o

charismatic and HIGH leader~~ haha. quite alot of honghoon moments. =] =]

jaejin~~~~~ what can i say? very cute and humble. =]

poor boy taking off his jacket after the barae performance. hahaha. lots of jinhwan interaction too! hee. small exchanges of smiles here and there. =]

hongki din speak any english and just spoke korean with liyi translating at the back. haha. at least he knew himself. >.<

oops! think i talked too much about FTI already but their performance was REALLY THE highlight of the day!!!! =] LOVE~~

anyway, next up was the brown eyed girls!!

after FTI performance, i realised i still had like 5min plus of video time left and i so so regretted not taking a vid of T max's performance. so wanted to take BEG but their first song "sign" was lip synched den i sian. so din take. lol.

they sang a few other songs such as abracadabra, you raise me up and eotjeoga. the screams were prob a few decibels higher cuz of the guys who screamed along. LOL. i must admit their dancing is really good but their live singing can be improved though their rendition of you raise me up was strong and anchored. =]

OHOH! their legs are reallllly nice. how do u even get sculpted legs like that??!! and the screams for ga hee was the loudest (prob cuz more publicity from the We got married with Jo Kwon of 2AM).

after them, the hosts got ALL the performers to come back up on stage again (quite surprising cuz i thought they would leave right after performing) and Jonghoon kinda jumped onto the stage when it was FTI's turn. lol. he really has too much adrenaline huh. lol.

finally managed to catch a pic with all of the MISO musical ppl in it. they really started the show with amazing vibrancy!

FTI!!

Mi Chul, leader of T max even brought out his view cam to take the audience. haha. he quite funny i realised. during the seoul'd out press conference, he admitted that he almost fell when he just arrived at the airport cuz he was too excited to meet his fans and also cuz its his first time here. =] =] lol. fans acty even caught that shot on camera. hee hee.

cute SH doing the "saranghae" thing. minhwan acty even kneeled on the floor and bowed but i din catch that. and the rest of the members were like =.= " hahahhaha. cute la.

as i type this, i think i'm seriously becoming a paedophile. lol. its ok to like jonghoon and hongki since same age ma. but i think JJ, SH and MH all very cute leh. lol. noona will protect u. LOL.

anw, as we made our way out, we looked behind and VOILA! this was what we saw:

a mass of heads. LOL. read the reports on the next day and it said that abt 6000 plus ppl turned up. so we're VERY lucky to be so front. heehee. the wait was WORTH IT. on our way out, it was SO SO dark we finally could understand the fears of Hwang Tae Kyung. (oh, and everyone there practically watched you're beautiful" a few times cuz all ard us, ppl were talking abt it while queuing)when we finally exited, we had a strange feeling. it felt like we just came out of a school event.

there were so many parents waiting outside for their children!! standing by their cars and all. LOL. times have changed. now parents even support their young underaged children to go for such events?! lucky ppl.

also, as we walked down to go back to plaza sing to get a drink, the FTI cars drove past us! haha. cuz its a one way road la so just heng heng lor. so those ppl who squeezed outside the celebrity tentage just to see the cars come out... too bad. haha. they drove off in posh cars and we waved to them inside.

hongki was like DEAD beat. just lying his head on the seat rest. could not see jonghoon properly though. den jaejin was looking out of the window and giving a peace sign. KAWAII. hahaha. such fan service. anyway, hope they had a good rest and safely back in korea =] =]

i totally did not regret goin for this concert! it was WORTH all the sweat, the wait, the squeezing and the aching shoulders (and the dehydrating effect we felt at the end of it). the concert ended abt 11.20pm and we cabbed home. tired BUT satisfied. i'm so so going for the next big korean event (whenever that is) and PLEASE BRING MORE KPOP into SG!! then prob the prices will begin to drop. =] (the fanmeeting for FTI next jan is SO SO EXPENSIVE!!)

haha~~~ DBSK PLS COME! haha. SUJU also can. =DDDD

P.S: SH left an entry on his cyword saying that he's fine. =] i suppose in response to the hair pulling thing? well, just glad that he's ok and hope that FTI will make more trips to SG with big smiles on their faces. =] =]
