2013 07 20 - Junsu Incredible Concert in Bangkok Part 2
Concert Recap - Disclaimer - long and rambling account.. and the overuse of effusive adjectives and exclamation marks.
Incredible MV played and but I didn’t pay much attention, I was more concerned with checking out the response of the crowd and it was really LOUD! Fans were screaming like crazy
Funny Song - Junsu didn’t sing this song during the concert, but it was played prior to the Thai national anthem.. I can imagine that Junsu would have brought the house down in laughter had he sang this song in concert… all the faces he would need to make to get the mood right for the song!
Junsu's florescent eyeshadow perfectly matched the energy of the show
(VTR 1) - The opening VTR showed Junsu in a very gothic environment and immediately Phinea2009 and I looked at each other confusedly and said.. er.. jaejoong? Why are they doing the same vampire thing? Maybe it’s the same set? Maybe they are brothers in vampirism? The VTR was really cool, but so soon after Jae, it didn’t feel as original. The difference was that Junsu was not locked up in chains or anything like that.. he was in perfect control of the situation, with drops of blood dripping into a goblet of redwine, I don’t remember if he drank it or if the blood fell/dripped into his hands and then his right eye turned murky, signaling the rise of the vampire…. I really liked the ending scene of the VTR though.. it showed Junsu with his right leg crossed over the left, and with a burst of energy 2 huge wings spread out from his back. At this point I turned to Phinea2009 and said “different wings! Different wings!”. I think they were skull wings, the whole wingspan was made of bones…
Junsu sitting like a boss on stage after the end of the VTR
(Song 1) I’m so pleased that the concert opened with Taran, it was such a successful song for Junsu. (yes, no more full name for the song… from now on I’m going to call it like he called it in Funny song.. TARAN what……) He was wearing exactly the same brocade suit that he was wearing in the showcase. Fans were quite participative, after all, we’ve had one year to practice going HEY! with Junsu everytime the song called for it.
Everyone screamed at the perfect choreo...especially the ones in front as they enjoyed.. ahem, a better view
(Song 2) No Gain .. perfect vocal showcase as always, though I felt that he couldn’t hit one of the high notes. Hope that Friend and girls don’t think that Junsu couldn’t hack it.. I wanted so much for them to be impressed by our little duckbutt.
When he missed his high note, I was cursing the sound system. For some reason, I felt that the Bangkok concert was like a practice run for his other concerts, but I’m pleased to be disabused of that notion later on in the concert.
(VTR 2) Junsu on his couch, tying out instant messages which were not answered. There was a right hand side panel for Thai translations, which of course we couldn’t understand. Luckily Friend’s sis in law translated for us - Junsu was sending a message to a girl.. I miss you every day, are you busy, why are you not answering (Woohooo!!!). It was so cute when he switched to Line to continue the conversation coz he was using the Line stickers to pepper his conversation.. showed him looking worried/distracted in his car, then he turned up at the girl’s house with a bouquet of flowers.. stalkerish much? Ok.. since it’s Junsu, we’ll take it as romantic… and the VTR segued to…
(Song 3) Confession feat Gilme.. this is a toothache inducing song about him confessing to his friend.. You can just hear the Chingu.. Chagiya chagiya… aish aish aish.. if this is not cotton candy fluff inducing enough, Junsu wore a PINK suit! REAL MEN WEAR PINK I tell you!
Again, the high notes were a definitely off.. even more obvious than during No Gain
The dance was quite nice, one of the lady dancers played the part of Gilme, miming to the song which we felt was a nice touch.
Translated lyrics
What did you do all day today? Why am I getting through to you just now?
I was looking for you since last night, I have something on my mind and I’ll tell you about it now
From friends to lovers, from friendship to love,
So baby, my lovely, actually, I like you
Us two, we’re having just another day where nothing’s different
Shyly but strongly, I want to tell you about my feelings
This isn’t a joke, although you might laugh
These aren’t empty words, this isn’t a lie, I want to make you mine
What did you just say? Don’t play around
I’m not joking right now, don’t shock me
We’re too close and I care too much about you
So I’m worried that I might lose you or that we’d grow apart
I thought about it, wondering if you knew my habit
Wondering if this natural attraction is my heart fluttering
What we need right now isn’t a prepared heart but an organized one
We need distance to calm down my trembling heart
I want to wake you up every morning, take you home every day
I want to hold your hand, want to hug you, want to kiss you
Us two, we’re having just another day where nothing’s different
Shyly but strongly, I want to tell you about my feelings
This isn’t a joke, although you might laugh
These aren’t empty words, this isn’t a lie, I want to make you mine
Why aren’t you answering? Do you not like me? Do you hate me? I’m suddenly scared
There aren’t many guys like me, I’ll be good to you, you are always in my way
Us two, we’re having just another day where nothing’s different
Shyly but strongly, I want to tell you about my feelings
This isn’t a joke, although you might laugh
These aren’t empty words, this isn’t a lie, I want to make you mine
Us two, we’re having just another day where nothing’s different
Shyly but strongly, I want to tell you about my feelings
This isn’t a joke, although you might laugh
These aren’t empty words, this isn’t a lie, I want to make you mine
Yes, wherever I go with you, it feels like home
You’re my bodyguard that stayed by me like my shadow
We know each other so well and we naturally became one like this
I promise to trust you, hold your hand
Don’t steal glances at other girls
I know just by hearing your breath and looking at your eyes
If I’m with you, I can do anything
(Song 4) Chocolate Girl.
No real feels for this song because I cannot understand the cultural reference to liken a girl you fancy to confectionary.. this is not the first time it’s happened in kpop though, so maybe it’s a common thing there.. I think the dance for this was quite cute
1st Ment - Junsu came out with a translator, later found out that she’s a Korean speaking Thai - not the best way to translate because apparently she translated word for word out of context.. the fan girls were all screaming at every little thing that Junsu said, and it’s exactly the script that we expected him to say, so we just listed to his cute speaking voice.
Junsu - Sawasdee krab! This is my second concert, Did you miss me? All the fans answered “de”, and Junsu said in English “You speak Korean?” random english words like “Good”, “Awesome”.. then he introduced his next song..
(Song 5) Rainy Eyes… if you listen carefully, you can hear a small tiny little Junsu growly voice in the beginning of the song.. I think the backdrop showed the lyrics to this song.
Oh! Growly Junsu again! All the fans screaming… he’s so good … it’s a standard kpop ballad but junsu is so so good!!!!! [end spazz]
Seriously! It’s a really standard kpop ballad! Phinea2009 didn’t have time to memorize the lyrics and I could confidently tell her that the song is about him pining over a girl, missing her, asking her not to leave him, asking her not to bring rain to his eyes.. and I was nearly spot on..
(Song 6) Foolish Heart (Fugitive of Joseon/Mandate of Heaven OST - the drama starring Song Ji Hyeo)
The mood suddenly changed very somber.. it was just a piano accompanying Junsu’s singing, and it was really really good! The whole hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Junsu sang with his eyes closed and you could see that he was really immersed in it.. we couldn’t help but clap during a pause, it was THAT good! And he rewarded us with an emotional chorus.
These are really tear-jerking lyrics, and although I’m sure many of us couldn’t understand Korean, all of us reacted to the emotions in Junsu’s voice.
Translated lyrics:
This is enough, the heartache, the painful tears
I was always in pain, ever since you first came to me
I know even if you don’t say it
That someone like me will never live in you for a single second
I know this and I know that if I love you, only I will get hurt
But what do I do with these painful tears that won’t stop?
You, who I can’t have, you won’t know
All day, I secretly hide my love
I want to smile and comfortably look at you
But because I love you, because you’re so precious
I don’t dare to approach you because of my foolish heart
Do you love someone else?
Can’t someone like me live in you for a single second?
I know this and I know that if I love you, only I will go crazy
But this good-for-nothing longing makes me look for you
You, who I can’t have, you won’t know
All day, I secretly hide my love
I want to smile and comfortably look at you
But because I love you, because you’re so precious
I don’t dare to approach you
Now I don’t even have tears, I just have a blank heart
It actually hurt less when I was crying
I’m afraid that I might never see you again, that we might get separated
So I can’t say anything and can only pound on my heart
I love you, I loved you, these are words I never once said
A foolish and good-for-nothing heart, that’s the only love I can do
(VTR 3) ok after all the angst in the last song, we’re rewarded with a nosebleed inducing vtr. Junsu and a girl sitting across each other at a large dining table, just stealing glances, Junsu sipping wine (neck porn!) and popping a CHERRY into his mouth (omg omg what’s with these boys and cherries recently??? The fruit is in season and on cheap sale issit??) The girl got up, walked to his side of the table and sat on his lap! Omg the fanscreams! At this point in time all of us were furtively looking at Mrs Kim, and she was smiling but not looking embarrassed much (though the lady next to her was fanning her face.. she looked like a relative of some sort).. ok.. so she sat in his lap and their hands started roaming all over each other, (at this point the young father 2 rows in front of me covered his young daughter’s eyes - she looked to be about 3-4 years old, while the other 2 little girls maybe 8-9 years old just looked kind of embarrassed and confused).. the model must have saved a country in her past life.. not only did she sit in Junsu’s lap, roam her hands all over his HOT body, squeezed his biceps with her Fingernails, they also leaned in for a kiss, which was of course where the scene faded to black.. the fanscreams where thunderous at this point, and we were going oh my god oh my god, and another sneak peak at Mrs Kim showed her quite amazed/mildly embarrassed by all the females in the room having heart palpitations over her son. Mr Kim had NO expression on his face hahahhaha….
(Song 7) The VTR was for No Reason. Ok, when I read the lyrics, I knew it was sexy but I didn’t realize it would be so steamy. Honestly… 31 flavours of ice cream? I like sweet things but I also like tart things? You need CPR? It’s like Junsu’s telling us he’s a sex god.. and erm, after THIS performance I’m inclined to give him his laurels..
The song started with him sitting on a sofa like a boss, then a pair of hand crept up to touch his shoulders and chest, and another pair of hands started groping his chest (ok, not only a sex god, it’s sex god on steroids, maybe a sex god of gangbangs).
I don’t recall if it’s 2 or 3 dancers, but they were in white shirts and black knickers, and one of them straddled our boy who had lied down on his back by now, and started THRUSTING against Junsu! This time another sneak peak of Mrs Kim showed her peeping from a fan or her hands.. ah, some reaction at last from the mother.. fangirl screams were deafening and we couldn’t stop laughing (in shock!) at the whole thing! There was a little point where he was slightly off during the high notes
Translated lyrics:
Don’t bite me
Softly go over it
Like a sweet lollipop
Feel me
Tighten my belt
Because things are loosening up
Take out all nervousness
Fill yourself up with something else
You don’t need to smile
You don’t need to pretend to be pretty
I don’t need to read you
I see it all already
You can get out of breath
You need CPR
You don’t have to pretend to ignore it
You can lead today
Why do you need a reason
What other words are needed?
There’s no reason
No reason (x3)
Why do you need a reason
What other words are needed?
There’s no reason
No reason (x3)
I like sweet things
I also like tart things
Sometimes, I want to taste both
31 ice cream
There’s too many flavors
I can taste many flavors through my mouth
You’re so interesting
Like a blockbuster movie
I don’t need to read you
It’s written on your face
You can get out of breath
You need CPR
You don’t have to pretend to ignore it
You can lead today
Why do you need a reason
What other words are needed?
There’s no reason
No reason (x3)
Why do you need a reason
What other words are needed?
There’s no reason
No reason (x3)
(Where did you learn these things?)
Pull and push on those emotions
Pull and push
(Where did you learn these things?)
You hold me and let me go
Pick me up and put me down
Why do you need a reason
What other words are needed?
There’s no reason
No reason (x3)
Why do you need a reason
What other words are needed?
There’s no reason
No reason (x2)
There’s no reason, reason
