4 Hours before the concert, i took a train down to the Olympic Park to get to the venue.
Arrived at around 1230pm (Seoul Time) and the concert was scheduled to begin at 1600 (Seoul Time)
When i got out of the subway, there were many stalls with just only a table (some using the floor) selling unofficial SNSD products (e.g Calendars, Files, Posters and lightsticks, etc.).
The weather was super cold! So i quickly got to the venue and was looking forward to buy some official goods.
The place was hugeee, besides SNSD concert, i believe SS501 concert was going on in another hall close to SNSD's.
I spotted the Official Goods booth and got there as fast as i could, however there wasn't any queue except people inside were eating ):
There were a few other booths like the Official SONE booth where i see koreans getting their towels and lightsticks, stuff like that.
There was also another booth which gives free Yejimin stuffs? And another was called Happy Zone where you can buy tickets from there.
Being disappointed as i couldn't get the official goods (eg. tumbler etc.) i went to look for the queue to enter. It was super long as they allowed the people who bought the standing tickets to enter first.
Around like 1500 (Seoul Time) i managed to enter the Stadium after a bag check. I managed to hide my camera somehow.
When i got to my seat i realised that i was quite far away from the stage. But the view was nice. They were playing background music of their songs.
Close to around 1545 (Seoul Time) there was a huge cheer for someone who got in, hearing from the people around me i assume that he was an actor. He was holding on to a picture of Seohyun and was showing it around. Many people rushed forward to get his autograph. From my view i could also see many people who had the standing ticket rushing forward to get the best location available and some were stopped by the guards too!
At around 1600 (Seoul Time) there was an announcement that told us to switch off out phones and no cameras allowed in 4 different language ( Korean, Japanese, English and Chinese).
At around 1610, the concert began showing a video of the girls like angels saving the world, the background music was awfully loud and vibrations could even be felt on the seats. In the video was the girls in white furry jacket, being rise up form the buildings to the sky. The graphics was super good!
After the video, the stairs opened and we could see black figures of the girls as they are slowly transported forward on the platform they are standing on.
소원을 말해봐 (Tell Me Your Wish) started and they did they're famous haversack dance. However there was a slight change in the chorus of the music! The 소원을 말해봐 was sang faster and i find it quite nice! There was a loud bang sound after Tiffany did her 'DJ, Put it back onnnnn!' and sparks flew out!
Show! Show! Show! began right after 소원을 말해봐 ended, they began to walked down the path and stopped at the centre of the performance stage! Hands were stretched out from the fans attempting to touch the girls but they failed. ): They continued with their dance of Show! Show! Show!
Girls Generation was up next and they did they're dance with the spinning of the hand thing. During the 'YEAH' part, sparks flew out again, it gave me a shocked! After the song the lights went off.
A cowboy video was shown with the girls being wanted and they soon start the song 'Beginning'. Jessica and Taeyeon were both singing. Halfway during the song, Hyoyeon appeared through the platform in the middle and started doing a cowboy twirling of the gun and she turn back to the stage and pretend to shoot it, during this time there was a loud BANG and red sparks came out! She then goes back down and the song continued.
Next up was the greetings from the girls individually. Each of them have to stand out and introduce themselves and accompanying it was their different dances. After that they did they're standard introduction as a group.
Next few songs i'll post just the song names up and only talk about things which i find interesting.
-Mabinogi (It's Fantastic!)
-Etude
-Ohh-la-la
-Kissing you
After these songs there was a video up which shows different members doing different things! Yoona was taking pictures, Sooyoung was working out, Hyoyeon was decorating a Christmas Tree, Seohyun was playing the Piano, Sunny was chilling at home, Taeyeon was DJ-ing for Chin Chin, Yuri was cooking and i forgot what was Jessica's one.
During the video props members could be seen scattering pink papers on the centre of the performance stage.
After that Jessica rose from the left side of the stage and Onew from SHINee from the right and they began singing 'One Year Later', they began to meet in the middle of the stage where the pink papers was and ended with a hug.
Yoona was up next with Leeteuk and Shindong. Yoona was in a wedding dress looking good as usual. Around the end of the song, Shindong went to the Happy Family Zone and picked up a boy to the stage and 4 of them took a picture together! How i wish i was the one! Haha!
Next was Tiffany singing Umbrella by Rihanna
After that was Hush Hush Hush originally by *****cat Dolls was sang by Taeyeon
It was follwed on by Sunny who sang 'Sunny'! and she managed to do a 360 degrees flip during the dance.
If i'm not wrong next was the tough angels video, the video was super cool, portraying the girls as agents. Some were loading bullets and some were during sit-ups and working out.
Chocolate Love was after the video.
Next, the diary video was broadcast. It doesn't show everyone's diary only Jessica Yoona Taeyeon and Yuri
Next few songs were,
-Honey
-Merry Go Round
-Dear. Mom
-Forever
-Day by Day was up and only a few were on, after awhile the remaining few came on the stage with scooters going around the whole performance stage! I saw a part where yul crash with sunny on the front part of the stage it was quite funny!
-My Child
There was another video showing Jessica as a fierce demanding woman and they ended up having a face off with Jessica partnering with Taeyeon (a frog looking creature) and Hyoyeon and Sunny.
After that was 'Barbie Girl' by Jessica and Key
Next was 'Santa Baby' by Sooyoung. During her performance, when the backup dancers touched her, the crowd will start jeering? or cheering? Haha i don't know but there were alot of noise.
Seohyun then came up to sing 16 going 17
After that they all came up to sing 'Singing in the Rain' it was quite cool as they played with the graphics, they were flying around and as the screen shows a umbrella after a while 'poof!' a real umbrella will be out in their hands! Super cool!
-Somewhere over the Rainbow
-f(x), Chu but there was one member missing! The crowd was going crazy during the rap by Amber.
Next was 1,2 Step originally by Ciara. Yuri did it along with Amber from f(x)
After that Yoona came up form the front and did the dance she did for MBC Dance Battle, with Yuri Hyo and Sooyoung! It was a little different during the Yuri part.
The next song was a SNSD song with the chorus naming all the girls.
-Into The New World
-Himnae
-Gee!!
-HaHaHa
When they ended, all the fans were cheering for encore!
Then after a short wait Jessica came out singing Naengmyeon.
4 girls came to the top of the sitting area and started moving around on a huge transportation thing where the guards had to push!
At this point everyone was standing wanting to touch their hands as they raise out! As Sunny reached my section i led out my hand and she actually came to acknowledge it but touching it! I was estatic! OMG! Haha! The other 3 girls were Seohyun Yuri and Taeyeon.
Next was complete and some members cried during this part. I only remembered seeing Seohyun cried on the screen.
Then they left again. And well kind of expected, the fans went ENCORE! again. They eventually came out again singing Baby Baby.
After that as they were about to leave the stage, the OH! music started playing and the crowd was cheering then they started to sing.
After the song there were alot of talking and cheering in Korean which i didn't understand. Althought i recognised them singing the Happy Birthday song in Korean. They went passed the mic to a guy and he shouted crazily! Haha.
During the end, they invited all the crew members out and thank them! I managed to snap a few pictures as the guards weren't looking.
Oh! Before i forget there was this very sad thing which happened.
This guy who was sitting beside me he secretly used his handphone to take pictures during the 'Girls Generation' song. He was called out by the guard and left the Hall. I assume they were just going to delete his picture but he NEVER CAME BACK. It was a super mean thing done by the guard. Therefore i was on a lookout when i started to take pictures with my camera towards the end of the concert as the guards was busy with the people exiting the hall.
Here are a few pictures i took at the end!
Enjoy sorry if its blur! I zoomed in alot! Heh.
