Keunakeun So Sunset 4 4 y'all
Still working on the review and I haven't even looked at all my photos from Sunday. The fancams had sound issue since I was near the front but also because it was loud. I need to learn to adjust my settings on my phone. But...what a Sunday it was.
I got up early, freshened up and tried to look a little decent for Keunakeun XD I never doll myself up unless it is for faves. How shallow. It wasn't OTT. Just making myself look presentable with a little touch up. I am no make-up artist o.o
Left just after noon to meet up with one Seoham fansite to pick up a keyring set and pay her the money then queued for Special Event. There was a gap between getting wristbands and the queuing time. So picking up wristbands for VIP and balcony was from 3pm whilst the queuing started at 6pm. What a gap but I ended walking around Angel, wondering what to eat for dinner. I never bumped into KNK either. Sad times and unlucky fangirl moments.
It may have been only two years since I saw KNK at Feel Korea but it felt like a long time. Worth the wait and they came at a time I needed some motivation (RE: MONSTA X ticket issue. FML). I went all out on the Special Event purchase and naturally the nerves were looming over the weekend. What was I thinking by being a real masochistic human by giving myself stress with these VIP packages and actually going for a meet and greet like I used to do with conventions to meet actors and actresses of Western tv series?
You do get what you paid for in a way and since KNK's concert did not sell out completely, I suspected it may have done a few favours because I did not suffocate, get squashed (ok that Seoham fansite went from standing next to me to going in front of me and had big DSLR though she was caught) get as irritated by people being arseholes or taking all the space. It was more relaxing than the previous concerts where it was so packed.
I didn't do the social butterfly thing and only spoke to a few fans in the queue since my level of 'Koreaboo'-ness was so low but I was tired and my mind elsewhere. I did speak to an older Japanese Tinkerbell at the fan sign when she saw my photo that I was going to use for autographs. She was a big fan since she went to all their Japan concerts and fan meetings. Even asked if I was going to the other tour stops. I'm not that rich and I have to work.
As for the Special Event - getting to the specific hotel where it was taking place was like going on a school trip. We walked from the O2 Academy Islington venue to Double Tree By Hilton and then into a room named 'The Main Thing' which was an executive room for the executives to have their meetings. You know those companies.
Wow I felt like I was in a little departmental meeting and nobody wanted to fill up the last seat in the front row so I just sat there immediately. Ended up being in front of Inseong. I think everyone wanted the middle seating to get a view of every member. But oh they glowed. Inseong glows with the tanned skin and I nearly lost my breath. They all looked good actually and were such kids where necessary. They doodled on the coasters and cloth used to cover the table lolz.
What was also nice was getting a lower number on the wristband. Didn't get barrier but that's ok, still saw them at the front and the eye contact game I had with my main bias was FUN. That Seoham fansite had a big head but it was hilarious how I played a little game with Seoham as we swayed our heads to the music and I kind of did a peekaboo behind her head and Seoham and I made eye contact. I even added a few waves which he did reciprocate with there is a God.
The ones who didn't really have much interest in me at the fan sign ignored me a little - no surprise there but Seoham and new boy Lee Dongwon made me rather happy. I waved to Dongwon a few times and he blew a kiss in my direction. I think I kind of responded back with a thank you and a flying kiss at the same time. I do not remember anything. My mind was in a daze. I just waved to everyone honestly. Seoham was the eye contact / fan service king. This time I was nearer to the stage so it's a lot different.
If anyone is going to complain on how the fan chants aren't good then ok I can respect that. I sense every fan in the crowd was a little quieter, unsure of whether to add the fan chant. In particular when it included Youjin in the line up. Also, if the crowd is quieter that's on them and it is a mix of different nationalities. Everyone was screaming more than following the fan chant where appropriate. I was trying to learn all the fan chants as it has been a long time after all.
