Fan Report on Shinhwa Concert The Classic in Seoul August 4th 2013
It is my first time writing a fan report but it already had even passed 2 weeks after the concert #sigh. My only regret was why I didnt write the report right away after it was finished hence I already forget most of the part of the concert.
I've already known shinhwa since 2007 and became their fans right away but I couldn't got any chance at all to attended their 14th and 15th anniversary concert so how happy I was when I knew I could finally went to their concert as I was free that day. Although nowadays I don't follow them tremendously like before as I don't have much spare time and spent most of it to my another love Arashi instead XD. Btw I only could booked the ticket 3 days before the concert and only could went to the last day concert as I had an appointment at the first day concert.
[The concert]
I went to the concert late because I thought it'd be started at the exact time with saturday concert and my friend got annoyed when she knew this so she entered to the venue first before I came and actually we sat at different section too :D
I arrived at the venue 20 minutes late from the schedule time and I already heard venus playing from a far so I run right away. While Hero was playing I still struggled finding my seat then I finally managed to find it after the 3rd song which I already forgot what it was but it was the song they did the wave XD. Like any other concert in Korea we were not allowed to took any pictures at all as the security was so strict but few times i still saw some fans tried to took pictures or fancam, sometimes they were caught and got warned from staffs XD.
I think after that the first part of the VCR where their mafia'character was introduced was played and as you know it was so funny XD. Then the member got out with their second costumes and singing 'Hurt'. Actually they sang 'Hurts' first then they went off the stage while playing the VCR. Sorry, my bad :D
I was amazed with the stage which looked like Arashi or another Johnny's concert which was a good thing since it made them easily reached the fans. As far as I remember it had one main stage, a long ellipse stage , one round stage in the middle, and the stage connected the main stage, round stage and circular stage. they also included 2 cart to bring them closer with audiences in the sitting area :D which I got lucky as I could saw 3 members right in front of me :D
I start to forget the song list after 'hurt' actually so I will write the highlight of the concert in no particular order as long as I can remember :D
- they sang in the tower a little bit high but not as high as arashi's tower but i couldn't recall which song is maybe 'i pray for you'. 'On the road'.
- I thought they would sang 'deep sorrow' while they were sitting in the box turned out it was ' i gave you' and i love this song too <3
- The members loved to talk they would start doing Ment after they finished probably 3 song in a row XD
but I couldnt remember what they were talking at that time now :(
- I got lucky as I could touched Andy's hand when he, Hyesung and Junjin passed my area with their cart while Hyesung and Junjin face backward to us. And when they were coming back again with their cart Hyesung and Junjin waving toward my area while andy facing backward XD Andy's hand were so soft XD They were singing 'Red sunset' and the other song I already forget :(
- They sang many songs with live band which I love but I still found a little bit weird when in the chorus the female background singers tend to dominate the vocal that made me wondered whether i watch girl group instead Lol
-They threw a lot of confetti and a lot of fireworks, too bad my seat was too far to managed getting some of confetti as souvenir XD
-Loving the 'voyage' performance my favorite song from 9th jib XD they sang it in the circular stage facing the fans in the sitting area
- Andy imitated Minwoo's talking to hyped up the fans and then he said it was difficult Lol
- Dance battle again between Wannie and Sungie. Lol
- At encore, fans throwing some gift like dolls, band into the stage, some of them taking by the member and wearing right away or giving it to other member, some of them taken by the back dancer and some of them taken away but then they threw it again to another fans in different section XD Lol.
- Actually fans were not allowed to threw gift on to the stage in order not to made someone got hurt but some fans still did it.
- They did double encore which surprised me as I didn't expected it :D they sang 'Oh' for the last encore
- Scarface performance was performed with new choreography but not by Minnwoo nor Junjin. It was so good XD
- Eric scolded dongwan and andy that still were joking when they were in serious speech :D
- At the end of concert Dongwan got carried by Minwoo, Members threw a lot of goods to fans, lucky fans in the front XD
- Eric was called by Minwoo to take some hello kitty dolls from fans
- The VCR was great and Wannie made good imitations as a Thai XD
The concert finished at around 8pm so it was lasted around 3 hours. After the concert ends on the screen it was shown the member's hand-sign. Then after 15 minutes I went to the outside and taking some pictures outside while waiting for my friends.
My personal highlight for me:
- Absolutely Andy's hand I wont forget it XD thanks to the cart services :D Too bad they only did it once so I didnt managed to saw the other 3 esp Wannie from close :(
- Got nice smile from Hyesung, Junjin, and Andy :D
- Voyage, Shooting star, Hey come on, Brand new, I gave you and Oh was my favorite XD Too bad they didnt performed Wedding and Deep sorrow like the previous year :(
- There was a lot of fan service from members :D
- The VCR was so fun I didnt expect they made this one :D
- I went to the concert while still fasting for Ramadhan so I checked the watch a lot hoping the time to break the fasting fastly arrive although I didnt want the time passed quickly too so the concert wouldnt end so fast :P
[Pictures and fancam]
Pictures from inside and outside of venue :D I'm so sorry for the bad quality and some of them I took it secretly from the concert :D
The fancam of the concert. Oh at the end of concert most of fans took the pics or videos they didn't care with the camera restriction anymore :P and I'm so sorry for the quality
I'm so sorry if there is any mistake I made when making this report as I forget some of the detailed of the concert
And for the next concert I hope they will challenge themselves more like fountain or moving stage in their show :D probably like this #evillaugh
so we can see wet shinhwa at concert XD
