[semi-fanreport] Super Show 3 in Seoul, Saturday August 14, 2010
Like last year, this year I was so lucky to have a chance to watch SS3 in Seoul. The show was, of course, good and enjoyable. But in this report, sorry before, I'll also speak my disappointment up. No, it's not about the boys, they're adorable as always, but it's about the fans and their behavior.
Okay, so, this Saturday, sanqyurian and I went early (or we thought so) to the venue. We arrived there at about 9:20 AM and the line for buying official goods was already long XDD
We took the line calmly, but then suddenly rain poured, made everything in a mess.
After we got the merchandise (about 11:30 AM), we decided to go home to change shoes because they're too dirty and wet.
At about 4 PM we came back to the venue, but the line for the show hadn't been started yet. Last year, we should take the line since 4 PM. Rain came and went, made us all soaked. Then at about 5:30 PM, a coordinator arranged our line based on seat number, but she spoke in Chinese. We and Korean ELFs were confused. And then, we were surprised that the coordinator only arranged the audience from number 1 to 200 (we got C section btw). We had asked her to speak in Korean but she refused, so I guess maybe number 1 to 200 had been prepared for Chinese ELFs. Some Korean ELFs looked like it's unbelievable, and then we arranged our seats by ourselves. FYI, I'm not a Korean ELF but I've been living in Korea for 1.5 years.
We entered the venue at about 7 PM, which was supposedly the start time for the concert. Then about 30 mins later, they started the concert by singing Sorry Sorry. I was amazed of the stage arrangement which looked similar to a Johnny's boyband concert stages. One main stage, a circular stage divided by 4 sections, a round stage in the middle, and a substage in front of it. They also had carts to bring them closer to the audience in the sitting area.
I got a good place actually, at C, 4th row (remember? seating number isn't applicable once you enter the venue). Then, the worse thing happened. A fan from a particular country pushed, pushed and PUSHED until she got front place. When a fan from the same country protested, she's just being ignorant and her friend defended her. I really hate fans' fighting in a concert. But later I learned that THAT PARTICULAR FAN kept pushing even though she got the 2nd row. I don't know what's wrong with her *sigh*. She even glared at me and my friend as if we'd take her place. No thanks, Miss. We have manner.
Aside from that annoying incident, the show was great!! It was better than last year, if I may say. Let's highlight while I'm collecting my memories XD
- It was opened by Sorry Sorry where Donghae fly and the boys came from the round stage.
- During All My Heart, some members were singing face to face, and some were singing towards the audience. It was such a sacred performance for me, more than No Other O_o
- Ryeowook solo One Fine Spring Day with Sungmin on guitar. They looked reeeeally gorgeous!
- During No Other (if I'm not mistaken), two members fly to scatter the paper hearts. I forgot who was another member, but the one was Sungmin.
- They didn't perform Boom Boom, Here We Go, and some songs from 4jib. Instead, they sang various songs from previous albums like Don't Don, A Man in Love, U (remix), Wonder Boys, Miracle, Dancing Out, etc.
- Super Girl performance by Suju M (minus Hangeng, Zhoumi and Henry), Rokkugo and a trot song by Suju T plus Donghae.
- Member solos/duets and performances: Sungmin with 4 girl dancers (stripping O_o), but I thought he was shy doing it. Donghae & Eunhyuk also with a girl dancer. I think the concept was they fought to get the girl though I prefer EunHae of course XD
- Heechul duet with Sulli. Hee wore a suit and necktie. How HANDSOME!!! *biased*
- Apparently SNSD and f(x) members and Nichkhun came, but I couldn't see them.
- Suju members wore some foreign accessories and introduced them as foreigners. The English aristocrat Heechul, Egyptian prince Kyu, Arabian prince Teuk, Chinese man Shindong, India prince Ryeowook, Indian Yesung, etc. Eunhyuk wore like....I couldn't define XD Maybe you could guess who he was through the fan pics.
- This was the most daebak. Parody of Lady Gaga by Heechul (Lady HeeHee). I think he's more beautiful than Gaga XD But Hee always tried to cover his butt and armpit during the dance, hahaha...There were also 3 Beyonce (Shindong, Eunhyuk, Donghae). I envy of Hyuk's slim legs XDD But unlike last year where most members cosplayed as SNSD, this year they didn't.
- Cooking Cooking performance by wearing vegetable costumes. Heechul as the red pepper, Donghae as the onion, Kyu the green paprika, etc (I didn't remember very clearly due to high tension). Heechul got bullied when other members lie down on his back on the floor, haha..it's very rare to see him as a "victim"
- They did some piggyback ride. Kyu really looked adorable here.
- Donghae shot the audience with smoke gun. I was waiting for some water gun attack but apparently there wasn't any.
- There was only one time encore.
- The concert started late, about 7:30 PM and ended at about 10:30 PM.
I'll add the details when I remembered all. It's already 3:58 AM here and I'm sleepy~
Btw I took pics of the stadium and situation before the concert but when the concert started my cellphone battery was dead T_T
I'll add the pics later, but for now, just enjoy this post (and rant) ^^;
I won't come for the second day because I have a rehearsal for my country's event.
Have fun for you who'll come to the 2nd day
Okay, coz I have problems when adding photos, I'll cut this post into 2 parts.
Here are the pics of the venue that I managed to take.
