Seeing that I am not a SONE fanclub member or anything, I had to get in through a connection, which seemed to have paid off! We have a family friend who has a friend that is a drama PD at KBS. Therefore, he was our key into the whole MuBank experience today. We got to the KBS building just in time for snsd's rehearsals/pre-recordings. 3 people had prerecordings today. It was 2ne1 (because of their new songs), M (minwoo, from Shinhwa, if you know them, you're probably old...hahaha. anyways, he had a comeback special), and snsd (because they just rock, and there's no way kbs coulda have satisfied those crazy bloodthirsty fanboys). Anyways, I was in the soundroom upstairs, getting kinda of like a tour of the whole MuBank backstage things, then snsd came out! everyone went crazy!. I looked out of the smudgy glass and saw snsd come on stage. They waved and said hi to the fans and started to play with the umbrellas...? hahaha it was the cutest thing. I was upstairs behind a stupid glass, so I couldn't hear anything or see very clearly.
We then went downstairs into the big MuBank room where snsd was now lined up in a line, ready to start recording. The first one was amazing...! (I honestly don't really remember because I was in shock that I was seeing them live, so close up to them) I was wayyyy against the wall at the right, but it was 3rd row seats and all of the staff were right in front of me! After the first recording, all the makeup people would go up and fix the girls' makeup and stuff.
That was when i was on my way upstairs to the soundroom, but yeah...that was snsd's special stage setup. Notice the umbrellas
-Sorry for the blurry pictures, but it's hectic in there and the kbs nazis were swarming us telling people not to record and take pics...I'm really sorry, though.
Then, take two! Same general thing. Amazing to experience this in person, though. the bass in that building was crazy loud...but yeah.
Take three, was when Taeyeon screwed up. It was so cute. She just kind started...and then stopped and started laughing. That's when the girls kinda beat her up for it...but yeah.
Last recording was started by the girls getting in a circle and doing their own little thing. They finished, and off they went.
Just incase some of you don't know, these fanboys are vicious. They start yelling between the recordings, but it's not like regular pre-puberty yelling. it's like bloodthirsty vampires. It was scary...
It was now time to clear out the building and let the actual MuBank ticket holders come in. This was hectic because they kept kicking us out, but we're like..."WE'RE WITH A PD!!!!!!!!" So eventually, our PD guy sneaked us into the side room...I have no idea what the side room was for, but it was kinda cool
That's where I got to look at the whole MuBank schedule as everyone else involved in MuBank rehearsed. 
-SNSD is the last bottom black highlight...just incase you can't read Korean! The names in black were the people who had the kinda private rehearsals and pre-recordings! pretty cool...
-a close up of their name on the schedule
Now, after all the rehearsals, we were able to kinda sneak back outside. We didn't have tickets, so we stood in the back...but it seems like a lot of people with tickets were standing right by us. all of the isles were filled with crazy fangirls/fanboys! Ah, I'm so fortunate to have this connection...but yeah.
-MuBank room is a lot smaller than I thought...
-first performance
-a crazy zoom pic of the MC's first talking part
-MC's in the crowd. You could actually see me! around 7:55 into MuBank show, the MCs are in the crowd like this and I'm wearing a red shirt wayyyy in the back corner. I wasn't really paying attention because I was hoping snsd would pop out of somewhere hahaha. My friend and I are in the top right corner of the screen, he was wearing a grey polo and I am wearing a red T-shirt. Pretty cool...
-This was M (MInwoo) when he actually performed during the broadcast. In order to get all of the fan voices, he actually comes out again and just kinda dances to his music. It's like a rehearsal after the actual thing. Everyone who did not get a prerecording does it live...while they're on air. But the prerecorders get like multiple tries, you know? and since they have a special stage, during the actual broadcast time, the TV viewers get to see the prerecording with the special stage and all that, while the actual ticket holders in MuBank room see him like this. It was really cool though. He showed his abs for a second and the fangirls EXPLODED. It's cool how KBS does the broadcasting. So yeah, they use the crazy fan voices from the prerecording AND they actual live broadcast. If you download MuBank, you will see that the uniform he wears is different from what this picture shows
-4minute!!!! They're alot more exciting in person. This song was actually kinda..."ehhh" before, but it was really fun live!
-4minute againn...
-Moonheejun! Absolutely SICK performance...this was definitely fun. Anyways..this was the last picture I got before the freaking Photo Nazi finally saw us, came, and threatened us...so no SNSD pics. I'M SORRY!!!
-The photo nazi left to go threaten some fangirls far away...so I snapped a pic of 2pm-m-m-m-m-m-m
-End of the show...KICK ME OUT IF YOU WANT, you crazy kbs photo nazi...
ENJOY THE PICTURES
I also have the WHOLE encore performance of SNSD, including Yuri basically assault the people with her bouquet hahahaha. That will come later
-THE WIN GOES TO SNSD!!
Congratulations!
