These past few days have been, like, wow :')
I was lucky enough to win a competition that gave me entry to the K-Pop Music Festival in Sydney Rehearsal on Friday, so I took my friend there. We all lined up, and suddenly heard SHINee's Lucifer and Hello. Which was good, because we could hear them singing LIVE, but bad because they'd already started to practice.
FINALLY during Goodbye Baby by Miss A, we were let into the stadium. We took our seats and enjoyed a few hours of rehearsing, and the artists waved and greeted us in their microphones and it was like WOWOWOWOW.
The next day arrived. Saturday. Potentially the best day of my life.
My friends and I arrived at Olympic Park at midday and enjoyed the games and activities and entertainment and Chonny from YouTube until we began to line up at 4:30-ish. The line was sooo long, but at 5:20 we were all let in. Security was tight- our bags were searched and drinks were taken away, but it was totally understandable.
As the start of the concert neared, the MBC advertisements on the screens disappeared and we were entertained by shots of the crowd, which was really funny. There was one middle aged man holding up his iPhone that had SNSD's 'Gee' lyrics scrolling across the screen. Then the countdown. We all went totally crazy.
The concert kicked off with the hosts, Tiffany and Yuri. Then Taemin danced really well. SHINee performed Lucifer, Hello and Ring Ding Dong and Minho looked even better than he does on the computer (I know, I didn't think that was possible either!).
The night went on and CN Blue was amazing (when are they not!?) and EVERY SINGLE group was so so so terrific and TVXQ did the final performance and I just felt so happy, to know I was watching the real life Changmin and Yunho.
At the end of the concert, all the artists came on stage to say goodbye so my friend and I rushed as close to the front as we could, and I held up my Minho sign as high as I could, and he waved! I totally melted. BTW, I cried when SHINee was performing. They were just spectacular.
