Wonder Girls World Tour...oh, and 2PM was there too.
Ok, I just got back from the Wonder Girls concert (featuring 2PM) so I have to do this quickly before I forget everything. 'Cause I'm like that.
My pics or vids aren't the best (youtube make the quality terrible~) but I'm sure the bitches people who shoved me down to get in front of me have better pictures.
I got VIP tickets for me and my mom.
We got there, and we had a PERFECT parking space, right across from the place.
So we waited in line. Then the Tabernacle (venue where the concert took place) opened and we went inside. More waiting. This is boring, we can skip this.
I did share my Starburst with a very adorable girl who was standing behind us.
2PM comes out and everyone goes batshit. See video. I couldn't take much video at the time, because then they told us to move away from the balcony.
So we get to the head of the line, and TA-DA, there's the Wonder Girls! I was wondering where they would be. They were hiding over there on the right side, there was a curtain. Quite frankly, they are all just too adorable. I only got to spend less than thirty seconds with them, but in that thirty seconds, they were so sweet, friendly and personable.
Before I got there, I promised myself I wouldn't talk in Korean, to avoid embarassing myself or looking like a weeaboo. But I really, really wanted both the Wonder Girls and 2PM to feel welcome, so I did it anyway. XD I'm such a loser.
2PM was just as friendly, and it seemed so genuine, not forced at all. They seemed very glad to be there (especially when Taec was on stage, he really seemed to enjoy it). I was so nervous at meeting 2PM that I didn't even look up at them, and they were right there! My mom said after the picture, "I was holding on to someone's waist or something, not sure who." Looking at the pic, it was probably Khun. EDIT: I just looked at the pic and my mom has her boob just PRESSED into Khun! DX/XD She regrets nothing. I wanted to offer them candy too (I bought a ton of Starburst, like, five different packs, to share with whomever I met at the concert) but I figured I had been enough of a weirdo freak already.
No need to tell you about the long wait between the meet & greet and the show. I'm so grateful that I was able to get so close. If there were actual rows, I would have been in at least the 2nd-3rd row. My mom left me to go to the balcony area, so I was standing ALONE. T___T I didn't really like that. And nobody wanted a FREE glow bracelet. Except for Kay ;D. They were on sale at Target for $1, and I had three packs of 15. They just said, "No thanks" and looked at me like I was some kind of freak, which did nothing for my extreme shyness.
It didn't get crowded until the non-VIP showed up, but right then it was bearable.
It was soon to get worse.
2PM came in.
It was so crowded in there, we were ass-to-crotch for most of the actual show. The only thing preventing me from getting buttraped was my backpack. XD
The started with "Without You", if I'm not mistaken.
Then they greet the crowd, introducing themselves individually. Ah so nice, first time in Atlanta, etc.
Next song, uhh...Heartbeat. I'm already forgetting things.
Then Again and Again.
Towards the end, all of them say a little ditty in english, talk about how awesome we've been, promise to come back to Atlanta. (I'm holding you to your word. >:|) Etc.
Then on to "I Hate You".
They finished off with 10 points out of 10, complete with flips and everything. I was worried about whether or not they'd have enough space on stage for it.
I really enjoyed 2PM, they were really into it, and gave a spectacular performance. I can't wait until them (or just One Day, please God, one day give me One Day!)
Then Taec says, "Are you ready for the Wonder Girls?" Deafening screams.
A screen comes down....dadadada~wait a bit.
Then we see each of their silhouettes in turn as the dance behind the screen with their names showing on it. Screen comes down and YAY~ It's WG!
They started off with a few songs I'm not familiar with.
They did "Don't Cha" also.
During one part while they were first greeting the crowd, one of the girls said "Hello DC! 8D" I don't know who 'cause I'm short. ): But she recovered gracefully, and the whole thing went over well with the audience, it was so cute.
Then came Lim's solo first. OMG!
She was like, "I know you know a lot about the Wonder Girls members, etc. But what do you know about me?" Then she started with "Lip Gloss" and it was perfect, it fit so well! I thought her dancing was very good also.
Yoobin's solo was that Black Eyed Peas song. She is so sexy.
Sohee's solo was "Single Ladies" with a video on the screen behind her of Yoobin and Yeeun dancing along with her.
Sunye did "Paparazzi"...I had to ask Coco about it because I don't know all these new-fangled English songs.
They did their little flamenco stomp dance ( think they also did it for one of the end-of-the-year shows, 'cause it looks familiar). After that, they took off the red skirts: Pretty white dresses.
Pull the piano out of the corner and it's ballad time!
They sang, "Saying I Love You" and I was so hoping they would! By this point I didn't have enough memory left in my camera to take any video, but I took pics while singing along. This one guy next to me was looking at me weird because I knew all the words. XD There was real snow coming down, and since I was standing near the front some of it fell on me, but I didn't catch the worst of it. The girls were so beautiful. I wish I had a fancam of this part. I'm sure the people in front of me do. :\
For the encore? Two Different Tears!
Overall, the Wonder Girls were really amazing (although they sounded like chipmunks sometimes). I am so glad they were well received by the crowd, they did a WONDERFUL job.
Other things:
I know a lot of people whine and complain about how certain kpop stars "need to eat a hamburger", but the girls looked just fine (I think Yeeun had the biggest boobs. O__O Wut? I am not a creeper). I'd estimate that they're a little smaller than me. And I'm only a little bit smaller than 2PM. Those are some skinny boys, imo. Maybe they're the ones that need burgers?
There was this one, older guy there that was singing louder and stanning harder than anyone. He's got mad props from me. I'm so proud.
There were times when people would start pushing and it got really bad.
I have to say I'm thankful for the lady standing next to me, who stood up to the losers who were pushing us (most of the people instigating the pushing seemed to be guys). She was all RAAAAAAAAAAAGE~! And this one guy got told. He was directly behind me and tried to sass back, and tell her to chill out but hello! We're being pushed and squished. Finally she was like "Hey, there are little girls up here, could you stop with the pushing?!" And by little girls, she meant small women, but we got the point. And she was right. Right there in that area were all the little shorties, and we were being shoved around mercilessly. At the beginning of the show, I was standing next to the guy, and by the end, I'm a few rows back and further to the left.
Oh, I met Kay! She's in Omona, but I don't know if she's in the lounge. If she gives the ok, I'll post her pic too~And small world, but I'm standing next to Kay, total strangers. Turns out she's friends with Reanna (reannaremick ), who I'm friends with on LJ. I saw Reanna standing like DEAD CENTER as soon as I came in, but I wasn't %100 sure it was her, and I didn't want to be like "HAAAAAY GURL HAAAAAAY!" and have the wrong person.
