First Pinoy KPop Idol: Finals Night
So finally I am posting up about this! It's a pity though I didn't have the time to write about this right after the event.
First, the crowd. I think the people who attended can be categorized as follows: (1) organizers, (2) judges, (3) UP Arirang, (4) UP CURSOR, (5) some CassPH members - lol who are not already UP Arirang members, and (6) guests of the performers + some other KPop fanatics. It was a great crowd. Although it was a competition, most of them were singing along to the songs they know, cheering for the performers and the artists they were immitating. Everyone was just enjoying the event, having fun and being their usual KPop addict selves. It was such a great atmosphere to be in. Hope next year's KPop Idol will have more contestants and more audience too.
Some CassPH members...
Banners and balloons? CassPH and red? LOL DBSK concert?...
The crowd and the hosts.
So, honestly, I haven't seen all the performances but here is a copy of the programme...
First up was the individual category. I have only seen the first contestant. Because we were getting ready and practically panicking and stuff haha. But we could still hear all the cheering and screams from the dressing room - which only made us more nervous and pressured. She danced to DBSK's Purple Line, Mirotic and Hey! while singing all of Jaejoong's parts. She did really really really really really well. For those who have seen her prejudging video, that was nothing compared to her performance this night - the perfectly executed dance steps, the attitude, the facial expression, right then I was so sure she would come in first hahahaha. But that could just be me being biased and not having seen the other performances. If this girl just placed third, then the top 2 must have been really good. Congrats to them too!
Jaejoongie?!!!
There are 3 other versions of this video. The one taken from the side angle was shot by some CassPH members. Lol it's like a fancam or something. You can hear everyone cheering and getting all excited and singing along.
There are several side stories to this performance lol. When she was introduced as the first performer, about only half of the crowd were cheering. But when the MC said she'll be dancing to songs of DBSK - everyone was cheering like crazy hahaha. WHAT?!!! It's sooooo funny. And then during her performance, you can hear in one of the cameras:
(I translate)
Purple line part...
Two girls probably rooting for other contestants: *quiet* *quiet*
Mirotic part...
Girl 1: *started singing along*
Girl 2: *surprised/amused? haha* Why are you singing already?
Girl 1: Sorry, I got carried away.
LOLOLOLOLOL
I don't have the videos of the other performances, but I'll try to bug the event organizers or something for those.
Lee Hyori/Boa and Tae Yang...
So some time during the event the girl MC and the rest of the crowd finally convinced the guy korean MC to do the Tell Me Dance.
The Real Jaejoong!!! Yay! Why don't I remember seeing this?! WMP hahaha
And then it's time for the group category.
First performers were the Wonder Bras, who, of course, imitated Wonder Girls. Really, Wonder Girls is too popular here in the Philippines (Well, next to DBSK and Super Junior, etc. haha). They did Nobody and So Hot.
Some pictures...
Wonder Bras!
Second performers were some members of Big Bang + Yoobin? Sorry, I haven't seen them, although I would have loved to. But we were up next haha. So we were fixing our hair and costume and doing some last minute shiznits. Anyway, I think they were still high school students? I dunno, 'cause they came in wearing high school uniforms. I was curious about their performance though. I still am - about everyone else's. So I really hope to get those other videos.
Well, third was us. We danced to SHINee songs - SHINee World + Amigo + Noona (Boom Track). I dunno what else to say, but, really, fun crowd. And it was a nice experience haha whaaat?
Shy-me!
Next was Epik High and I swear their Tablo was really really really good - and I think the crowd was really pumped up or something. Everyone was singing along and enjoying the performance. Some of the crowd who were not really KPop fans were like "..." and *quiet* so I was like *admire admire* and cheering like crazy 'cause seriously their Tablo was really cool, so I think she kind of raised the group's energy as a whole. And lol their Mithra was thinner than Tukutz haha.
DJ Tukutz?!
Epik High!!!
So next was Dong Bang SHINee lol doing it girl version. They came out wearing girl outfits and they started with DBSK's Tonight - Junsu's "Oooooooooooooooooooh~" Intro. And then, I think the sang Love in the Ice next. I don't even remember the order of the songs, but they also did Mirotic, SHINee World, Love like Oxygen. I'm not sure if they did Hey! Hahaha UP Arirang members, I think, were cheering for them like crazy. You'd know right away that these girls are hardcore fans. One of them, I heard, did Lee Hyori + Boa for the individual category.
DongBangSHINee!
Sixth performers did a duet. I'm just not familiar with the artists nor the song. But they sounded great.
Last was what everyone was waiting for, I think. The Wonder Briefs. Crowd went literally crazy. Really, it's rare to see this much pink in just one stage hahaha. And the video is nothing compared to the real thing. You'd clearly see their facial expressions, it was too hilarious. And, I really really respect UP Arirang for cheering for them too, especially the last part, when there had been a technical problem and the music just died and the boys could only continue because most of the crowd was singing for them. The music would come back and die again but they finished dancing anyway. Thanks to everyone who sang for them hahaha.
LOL Wonder Briefs Pic Spam!
There was an intermission number while waiting for the result. UP SIKAT performed and everyone obviously enjoyed their presentation. They were doing parodies and immitating a lot of Pinoy celebrities, TV commercials, etc. And it was really funny.
But then again, the result was still what everyone was actually waiting for.

I know this account sucks hahaha. But I'm just too tired or lazy to make it too detailed. The point is everyone enjoyed, and that KPop is really growing on many Filipinos, I think they'd trade our president for Jaejoong or Sunye or something haha.
