Dream Concert, where dreams come true

As tacky as the title sounds, that's basically what happened. Not many people (okay, except for the thousands who were there with me) can say they saw 20+ kpop idols perform all in one night. The lineup went something like Rainbow, EXO (both K and M), B1A4, Girl's Day, U-Beat, U-KISS, INFINITE, Huh Gak, 2AM, ZE:A, BTOB, VIXX, Evol, Boyfriend, KARA, Secret, SPEED, SISTAR, 4minute, T-ara N4, B2ST, SHINee, SNSD, and a few rookie groups

Venue: Seoul World Cup Stadium

We are faceless; literally. 

Longest queue evar... of girls my sister's age

I was sad they missed B.A.P (they are in America wtf), Teen Top (they had their own concert on the same day), NU'EST (idk where they went), Ailee (also dunno), and D-Unit (too underrated). BUT WHO AM I TO COMPLAIN BECAUSE TICKETS WERE ONLY $5 WTF. Totally would have paid more even if I was a whole football (actually they don't play football here so idk an equivalent for this...) field away.

My wonderful view lololol

The MCs waving at us (SHINee's Onew, KARA's Goo Hara, B2ST's Doojoon)

Giant scaffolding blocking my entire view fml

I think 80% of the people there were at least 5 years younger than me -____-
In the pic is about 1/3 of the whole crowd

I was seated in the B2ST fanseats, but I practically screamed for all the groups that came out. I never even expected the ballad singers like Huh Gak and 2AM to be so exciting. I also learned that Boyfriend have about the same amount of popularity as the unknown rookie groups. I would totally post the videos I recorded, but my screaming overpowers everything else *fail level 1000* ㅠㅠ I think I love each group even more now (except the ones that are already super popular like SNSD, B2ST, 4minute, etc).

Metal gold pearl sea of Inspirits & giant headblock

After this night, I lost my voice and totally sounded like a "dying whale" according to my sister... but it was totally worth it. 99% sure it's a one-time thing so I will treasure this night forever in my obsessive kpop loving heart <3

Kpop Adventure 1: YG

I have a confession to make... I am a giant kpop fangirl. No, not those crazy hardcore ones that stalk celebrities wherever they go, but I do own quite a number of albums and merchandise from my favorite groups. I've also seen three groups perform and the walls of my room are covered with posters. With that said, how can a girl like me sit around in Korea without basking in the kpop glory of kpop land?!

Last week, my roommate and I took the subway to Hapjeong (only 3 stops away from my uni) to visit the YG building. If you aren't familiar with YG, they are one of the "Big Three," as in they are one of the top kpop companies out there. It was surprisingly easy to find and pretty close to the station. But...

Expectation

Reality...

We were sad they took down the giant bear balloon even though Lee Hi is still promoting her song, "It's Over". Another letdown was when we saw a black van drive by so we got super excited and ran after it with our cameras ready, but in the end only 1 middle aged driver man came out after parking the van T__T So to make the most out of our visit, we just took some stalkerish pictures in memory of our mini adventure. We weren't expecting to see Big Bang or 2ne1 just walking around, but hey a girl can dream.

Could one of them be Big Bang's van?

The building looked nicer from the side

YG auditions anyone?
