[17.10.2013] SMTown Live in Beijing (Jessica 4ever!!! 's fan account)

19 October 2013 - 10:12 AM

So this is how it happened..

 

It was about 5:00pm, Beijing time. I was still at home when my mom knocked on my door, reminding me to get ready to go to the venue. In my head I was like 'it starts at 8pm.. it's only 5pm! I should be fine..' 

Then I realized, 'crap!!! I need to BE there to line up and stuff, and buy the things!!!! @#&)#^!(*^$#%@(' (i didn't actually say crap but.. i wont say it)

So i quickly changed and what have you when you get ready.. I took my phone, itouch, wallet, small little lightstick i got from their previous world tour (Soshi's I mean), and my cream and head out immediately. 

 

When we got a cab, we were so surprised.. because it was almost 5:30 after I got ready and my mom got ready.. (there was a brazil vs zambia game the tuesday before, and it took forever to find a cab to get there) This time, the cab was REALLYYYY fast.. like seriously.. he was literally an F1 driver just racing through the traffic once we told him we were rushing to get to the concert.. 

So when we got there, instead of going to the stadium.. we had to first go to a hotel to collect our ticket.. unfortunately, we didn't get to buy it from the official site since they sold out in seconds and i only found out like a day or two after they sold out. So i went online to find tickets and i paid about 1100RMB (which is about 180USD.. give or take) for a moshpit ticket.. on their site it said that the 1100 ticket they sold was a randomly chosen seat within the moshpit, so i didnt have my hopes up for a seat close to the stage. 

 

When we arrived at the hotel.. Immediately, once I came out.. it was like a CROWD of people just collecting their tickets from various sellers on the internet.. most of which were girls, holding EXO merchandise and bags. Others were SJ fans, and the minority were older folks dressed in leather black jackets just waiting for someone to sell back their tickets for 20% off the price.. I, of course, didn't give a rat's, and headed to the 13th floor with my mom. we were given directions to how the ticket collection worked.. and in the back of my head when i was in the elevator, i was so skeptical about this and was worrying so much..

'what if this is a scam and they're cops.. what if once we walk in they start robbing us.. what if this, what if that' omg, i cant tell you how worried i was.. 

luckily they were really nice and we got the ticket immediately and asked for directions on how to go.. (mind you, only 1 ticket.. ONE)

 

we followed what they said and i headed in myself after saying bye to my mom.. and this is where it begins.

 

from far, i could tell already.. i was fricking late.. apparently the concert starts at 6.. and when i was already at the gate, it was about 6:04-ish.. i was rushing to the correct gate.. mind you i broke my ankle the week before and missed 3 days of school, and now im running for my life to get inside.. i went to gate D-E,

'sorry this ticket isnt for this gate.. u have to turn right and go there' oh ok..

'sorry this isn't the gate.. go right' OK..

'sorry this isn't the..' OMG JUST TELL ME WHERE

'.. *ticket clears*' OMG thank you god... 

 

by now i got through, just barely.. and i entered the stadium.. at that instance, i was astounded.. the WHOLE stadium was filled with fans of all different groups.. facing the stage, to my left was a huge crowd of left lightsticks.. with the banner 'happy birthday Lee Donghae' in chinese lit up. beside that was a small group of shinee fans with lime green lightsticks.. moving to the middle of the stage (the moshpit), there were about 6 sections.. A,B,C,D.. each section (A and B) had 2 mini sections, 1 and 2.. the fans werent exactly enthusiastic.. 1 because a woman was singing and the majority were girls.. and 2 the chinese arent exactly fond of cheering for other singers they don't support.. so yeah.. on the right, there was like.. 400m in length, full of red lightsticks.. when i saw it, i was like 'oh.. DBSK fans FTW!!!' they supported every singer that went on stage.. and then of course, beside them.. WERE SONES!!!! PINK LIGHTSTICKS FTW BABY!!! i can't praise our fans enough, lightsticks on the ENTIRE concert.. even when someone wasnt being cheered, they cheered FOR them.

 

back to me.. unfortunately..

i was placed in section B2.. i, obviously didnt know at the time where to go, so i asked someone for help.. and they pointed me in the right direction.. 

oh and, by the time i went in, the concert had started already.. so im not sure if the girls performed yet.. sorryy

 

i got into my seat... unzipped my jacket and took the lightstick out, switched it on and got ready.. the first artist that i saw was kangta..

came out, full of smiles and introduced himself in chinese.. if i remember correctly, he was praising how amazing the stadium was because it was the very stadium that saw the 2008 beijing olympics :D  he sang both a ballad song and a dance song.. (i dont know the name of the songs) i wasn't very fond of kangta.. not because i didnt like him, but i don't listen to his songs, so im unfamiliar with him.. fortunately for him, the chinese were. and there were a couple of fans in the A2 section in front of me, carrying flags of his name.. im not kidding, literally FLAGS.. u know those you have in school, in front of the buildings with your country and your school flags?? yeah those, the type an olympian would carry in an opening ceremony for the olympics. 3 flags, did i mention?

 

next artist was f(x).. they started off with electric shock.. i was REALLYYY excited, like.. normally i would just wait.. and then like half an hour in, then i would let go and be crazy.. but this was different.. they started with f(x).. but when i counted the numbers, there were only 4.. krystal wasnt here.. apparently she was still filming her drama.. :( i was really looking forward to seeing her. but eh, it's still f(x) without her, so i just cheered.. the dance wasn't completely overwhelming, since krystal wasnt there, so there was something lacking. i cheered a lot for amber, because im such a fan of her rapping and style.. when they introduced themselves, victoria had the most cheers.. imo, i think it's because she's chinese and they're proud of her.. amber had lesser cheers.. but i gave my best to cheer for her. they explained why krystal wasnt here and that she was very sorry for not being there.. (i didnt know until i came home and checked lol) so yeah.. they introduced the next song 'danger' and we all continued cheering.. did i mention that my section wasnt entirely full? there were still about 5-10 rows among me that weren't full, so i could move around freely, standing on chairs to get a better view.. i tried taking pictures with my crappy phone resolution and itouch, im not sure if they're good or not. 

f(x) performed to their best ability, i was loving the performance.. if i hav never watched their MVs as much as I have.. i wouldn't have noticed krystal's absence..

 

when they finished performing.. and after a small 'commercial'.. zhou mi and victoria came out singing a duet.. zhoumi started first, walking to the left side of the stage.. SLOWLY.. when victoria's part came out, she walked towards the right side.. zhoumi wore a suit, while victoria wore this beautiful dress that wasnt exactly suited for the temperature (it was about...10-15 degrees?).. the best part about this performance was how CUTE they were.. when zhoumi looked towards victoria's side, victoria never noticed.. when she turned to zhoumi, he had just turned away XD as per usual, the couple would walk towards the middle together right? WRONG, zhoumi walked first.. he was about 1/3 away from the middle when victoria notices and starts making her way there with haste.. zhoumi looks up and realizes he went too fast and slows down to time the arrival perfectly.. so far, quite a disaster when they reached the middle, zhoumi reached for victoria's hand, and held it gently.. we all went wild, started screaming and chanting words i didnt quite understand.. i just went 'WOOOO~~~~~' during this time, the stage was lifted up about 2 meters off the ground.. luckily the SM staff was kind enough to people like me who sat behind and some distance away from the stage.. i looked closer with the huge LED screen to the sides and they looked so cute, but awkward together holding hands.. i was like 'aww.. ok lets move on pls..' XD

 

the next duet was something i was very surprised of.. i remember, from my previous SMTown experience that there were only a couple duets and performances from some members of some groups.. but never this song in particular.. changmin (DBSK) and kyuhyun (SJ) came out from the sides of the stage from the dark, and started singing 'Just the way you are'.. obviously the SJ and DBSK fans went wild.. so much screaming omg. i just went along since i was a fan of kyuhyun from the kbs tv show 'mama mia!'.. there's not much to say about this duet really.. just a hell lot of screaming, and walking around the stage until the last chorus where both of them walked to the middle. and there she was.. the girl they were singing about.. can you guess who she was?

 

 

it was TAEMIN OF SHINee!!!!! HA, if you were expecting soshi or f(x), or boa.. i gotcha there.. if not, dammit.. 

 

 

ok, it was taemin.. i mean, he's a guy.. but he was dressed in such a way, that he looked so feminine.. sitting on a chair and smiling like he was looking at Naeun (aww).. when all of a sudden, kyuhyun spreads taemin's left leg and sits on it while singing.. taemin's smile grew EVEN bigger, by now his top row of teeth could be seen and he faced down onto the stage.. changmin, whom i think was a bit jealous.. reacted with the exact same action, by sitting on taemin's right leg.. but this time, he went so close to taemin's face and sang into him.. like, if u were taemin, u could smell changmin's breath.. they got so close, up to the point that the only thing separating them were the mics in their hands, and the white innocent hat taemin was wearing.. everyone loved the bromance that happened on stage.. me? not as much as girls would, but i did, nonetheless..

 

next song is.. a song im about to download this instance.. 'i say SJ, u say oppa.. SJ!! OPPA!!' yep, it's the donghae and eunhyuk song 'oppa, oppa'! um.. i think donghae came out from the left side, and eunhyuk came out from the right.. donghae faced the SJ side with his birthday banner, while eunhyuk faced the DBSK crowd.. they were wearing checkered suits, donghae in a red/pink one, eunhyuk in another color. i cant remember the colors sry..

 

the main screen, the one directly behind the main stage.. had the lyrics of the song in chinese.. and since i didnt understand what they sang since i've never listened to it until now.. i read the chinese version.. and i was amused by it.. the fact that in one of the lines it said 'the girls will be lining up for me' or something related cracked me up XD so when they sang 'i say donghae/eunhyuk, you say oppa.. donghae/eunhyuk, OPPA!' i couldnt sing it.. i mean, im a guy.. i cant say oppa XD or rather i can, but i would feel weird, even though its just lyrics.. nonetheless, that was the first performance of the night that made me wanting more of the duo..

 

oh, did i mention that.. EXO was in town? and the majority in my group were EXOtics? if i didnt.. well this part will.. right after the donghae-eunhyuk duo were EXO.. and my god, did they make the crowd go wild... so i was amongst the few who stood up after changmin and kyuhyun's duet.. but like, when exo appeared, everyone.. i MEAN EVERYONE in my section stood up, took their lightsticks, their fanboards, the LED boards, whatever was an EXO item, they took it out and screamed like as if chucky the doll had just entered their room with a knife and a serial killer's face.. they stood on their chairs, not bothering if they fell or not.. and like, im a pretty short person.. so i had to follow them and stand on the chair (not that someone of 1.90m would be able to see clearly without standing on the chair).. the group performed 'History' first, i'd think to make history... XD (sorry)

 

the screams were so loud, and i could see who they were supporting.. some of the boards said 'Kai', some said 'Tao', some 'Kris' and other members.. and their songs have a chinese version, so they sang most of the song in chinese.. only in korean when EXO-K were the ones on stage.. (they transited between the 2.. finally ending with both becoming 1 EXO) im a fan of the song 'history'.. like, i tried learning the dance.. and i tot i had it down.. but when i watched them with my very own eyes.. i was like 'f***... i hav to go home and practice more before i wanna try to audition for SM' like, their co-ordination was perfect..and EXO-K were the ones who performed this in korea most of the time.. so i'd think they didnt have much time to practice together after that.. but this was just amazing.. but wait til i talk about 'Wolf'

 

so they introduced themselves... each of them ended with the words 'i love you~!!!', the chinese members praised about being in the stadium where it hosted the olympics.. and one person!! ONE member in particular.. omg i was so impressed.. gimme a second to remember his name...  k i think it was Lay.. i remember it now because i associated his name with Lays, the chips company.. XD

ok so, what he did was.. he spoke in a chinese accent right? but like, it was SUCH a beijing accent!! those who speak chinese knows, that u just say the word and sometimes u add the 'er' sound at the end of certain words.. but in beijing, u do it more often than u expect it to.. but thats not the point!! he was like 'SINCE.. we're in beijing.. im going to do a tongue twister in chinese!!' and he did it.. i understood it, but i cant translate it.. its a bit long and unexpected.. and it makes more sense when u hear it cause its so fast and complicated. The whole stadium was impressed and cheered a lot.. luckily he was the last member to introduce himself.. otherwise the next one would have such a hard time topping that..

the next song was Wolf. which im going to explain why this was a better performance than History.. everyone who watched the MV knows it starts off a bit weird, and how they stand in a line and act like they're a statue.. in real life, they're holding onto each other..and after performing the "History" dance, its quite tiring.. but they held on so long and continued dancing.. the choreography is, well i can say its great.. but the timings between the transition of the groups were timeless.. impressive, to say the least.. 'wo shi wolf~ awoo~~~' thats 'im a wolf' in chinese.. they sang the song in chinese

 

 

and now.. the moment most people should have been waiting for.. its taeyeon's SOLO. TAEYEON'S SOLO. i had to repeat that. right after exo was DEVIL'S CRY. this is where i get really high.. u know devil's cry is a high song.. by high, i mean exciting song.. in this case, the exo fans, get off the chair and stand properly.. switch off their boards and stuff, and give a straight face (i imagined that).. instead, i start screaming MY heart out.. while still a bit conscious about my image (XD).. when taeyeon hits her high notes, i stop screaming.. not because i suck at screaming.. but i just begin to reminisce how great taeyeon is as a singer.. like, i've been through a time where i dont like soshi as much as i did before, but after that small solo, i was back on track.. and so happen, RUN DEVIL RUN was the next song.. i mean, what other song CAN there be?!!

 

the lights went off for a second, then 'BAM'!! RDR starts.. jessica sings, i scream.. nothing i can do.. i just stared at the stage, mind blown..finally, i see soshi again.. its been TOO LONG!!! TOO F-ING LONG!! i scream to my heart's content.. until my voice cracked XD luckily the music was so loud no one heard it.. then i notice that sunny's hair grew to her shoulders.. it was brown, taeyeon's as well..tiffany's hair is black <3 and jessica was SOOOO HAWTTT.. i was licking my lips unconsciously.. XD not in that way :P

 

this time, i remembered to take my itouch out to take pictures.. but i noticed that i couldnt exactly focus on the screen.. so i quickly kept it and went back to watching the girls.. u could tell that, like.. the outfits were the same from last year's smtown.. so when they introduced themselves, the SONEs section were quickly noticed by the girls.. and hyoyeon was in charge of speaking in chinese.. jessica started the girls introduction by introducing herself.. and, this is kinda a byun moment.. but when the camera went to her, i think she was busy fixing something in the chest area.. perhaps pulling her shirt/bra up? XD im not sure, i noticed that.. :3 but yeah, the next was tiffany.. and her eye smile, melts me every time!!! yoona and yuri were like, the 2 opposites for some reason this time.. yoona was like, just pure but yuri was acting cute and stuff.. when i'd expect the opposite from them. sooyoung's introduction was normal, seohyun's was impressive.. i mean, i knew she spoke chinese, but the fluidity was top-notch.. she said 'im soshi's maknae~ seohyun~' like a chinese! and then hyoyeon!! all in chinese, something i expected :D seohyun introduced the next song in korean (sadly..) which was Genie. the fans, in my section made little noise.. but i did!! and so did the SONEs section!!

 

at first, i expected like the typical, GG solo concert genie opening.. but u know.. it aint solo concert..so yeah, usual genie opening. and i couldnt do my fanchants because 1 my voice cracked, and 2 it would be a bit embarrassing.. XD i did do some parts tho.. so dont worry.. but the highlight of this song was when the lights went off.. and tiffany went 'BEIJING!!! PUT IT BACK ON!!!!!!!' man.. hav i been waiting to hear THAT for ages (other than 'SG PUT IT BACK ON!' which i've heard already).. i screamed to the top of my lungs and so did most people in my section surprisingly.. i looked towards the stage without the screen (since my eyes are amazing for long distance) and i had like.. small drops of tears.. tears of joy.. :')

 

--- will skip the middle since its too much ----- unless people wanna read it, i'll write it another time -----

 

so yeah.. after about 1 hour of non-soshi related stuff.. Twinkle was performed.. at first, when the song played, i was like 'hmm i've heard this before.. which group...' and then tiffany 'AOWWW!! the twinkle.. twinkle..' and i remembered.. i looked to the main stage, and there wasnt anyone.. then i looked to my left, and there they were...  unfortunately, i couldnt get a clean shot at them. so i watched the LED screens.. and used them to take pictures.. :P tiffany, with the make up and the twinkle stars around her eyes made her look stunning.. i said before she looked amazing, but this was even better.. her eye smiles were 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times prettier, dance was better.. and taeyeon was BEAUTIFUL.. seohyun was equally amazing, but i always had an issue with how her hair was done.. it made her look weird, but after a while i got used to it.. 'the twinkle.. the twinkle`~~' and they were facing the SJ crowd.. i was fearing that the SJ fans wont cheer for them, so i was shouting my loudest (even tho they most likely didnt hear me) in order to help the little cheers they got from that side.. luckily, as pure professionals, the girls kept smiling and looked into the cameras instead.. but when they WERENT on camera, i could see taeyeon wasnt smiling, and i dont blame her..came all the way to beijing, only to be put to the SJ side, when the SONEs side is the OTHER side.. fml

 

after a couple performances was the dance battle.. i honestly forgot about this section.. i was like 'why.. or what song are they performing next???' and then hyoyeon, yuri and yoona come in.. and i was like "OHHH!!!!! DANCE BATTLE!!!!" the 3 girls were SOOOO SEXYYYY..the outfits were clearly for summer when its autumn/winter already here.. but they didnt show a hint of being cold.. yuri smiled midway through the dance, idk y.. but hyoyeon was so serious, yoona was clearly looking to finish the dance in style.. then when they finished their solo section, they moved to the middle and UKNOW YUNHO comes out.. be like 'phst.. kids.. LEMME SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THIS!!' and busts out the legendary dance moves he has.. in the spotlight, he renews himself with spectacular dance moves.. while the girls and the boys follow his every move.. i can tell u, it was better than the last SMTown.

 

 

i just wanna point out.. that, DBSK.. despite being 2 members instead of 5.. (even tho its been some time) they still perform amazing performances and never cease to blow my mind, or anyone's mind in particular.. every time they step on stage, no matter who u supported.. everyone in the crowd would stand up, wave their lightsticks and start cheering.. whether its 'Rising Sun', 'Purple Line', 'Catch me if you can', or 'Why'.. they will always gain the support of the fans.. 

 

 

but back to soshi.. when 'gee' was played.. a few girls in front of me were so excited, and immediately got off their butts and stood on the chair.. and yes, i did do my fanchants.. idgaf this time.. 'GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY!!!' yeah!!! by now, its been like 2-3 hours into the concert already.. and my arm was already starting to hurt.. i didnt care, i continued waving my arms because it was soshi! i mean, how often do international fans like us get to see soshi!!?? so i fanchanted my heart out, and in the process hurt my throat a bit.. 

when they finished, they sang kissing you.. and like they start off 'do dodododo... kissing you baby... loving you baby' and asking for fanchants.. and i did, try to shout.. this time, there was not much of a sound coming out of my mouth.. and there was no dance routine.. so they spread across the stage where each of them had a mini spotlight onto them.. midway through the song, they split into 2 groups, Tiffany, hyoyeon, yoona and sica running to the SJ side..taeyeon, sunny,yuri,sooyoung and seohyun to the right (DBSK) side.. by this time, i was torn between 2 minds.. go to the left where sica is or stay where i am and try to watch from afar.. i was so close to staying, since my ankle wasnt fit to run yet.. let alone push against the crowd.. but like i said, today was a 'idgaf'/'yolo' day for me, so i ran to the left side and closest to the railings where there i/they were..Tiffany was already in the middle of that stage.. and the rest were just behind her.. jessica never came to where tiffany was.. but she was incredibly close.. like, within 20 meters away from me.. she wasnt facing my direction, the song was finishing within around a minute.. i was getting desperate. it was like the make or break time for me.. shout, and hope she hears me and turns to my direction, or give up after risking my ankle.

 

'JESSICA!!!!!!!! JESSICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' i screamed, the girl infront of me turned around and looked at me.. i looked back at her and gave her the death glare.. and i quickly took out my itouch to TRY and take a pic.. when the song ended, my life ended.. (ok not literally) sica bowed, and started blowing kisses in my direction.. i was like 'OMGG, OMG OMG OMGOMG OMGOMGOMGOGMGOGMOGOMGOMGOGMOGMG #*@)&$^$(*!&$^!(@%#!&^%$' and smiled so hard my lips were about to bleed.. at that moment i was praying to god for more of this..

 

(lemme explain.. between the stage and us.. were 2 railings.. 1 was ours to prevent us from getting there.. and 1 more was to prevent the guards from going there.. so its like a

 

stage

---------

---------

guards

 

---------

us 

 

set up)

 

 

 

------- back to nothing soshi related.... --------

 

then the final song the girls performed before the ending song was IGAB!! this time, there were SO many more people in my section.. and i was a bit worried, like who actually supports the girls.. and then BAM.. the song plays and i was like 'f*** it.. idgaf' and continued going 'AYO GG!!!!' luckily for me, 2 girls beside me were fanchanting, so i was much more comfortable.. so there it was 'OO... OOOH A-OOHHH!!!' (sry idk how to do the starting chant) 'I GOT A BOY MOCHIN!! I GOT A BOY CHAKAN!!' and then 

'excuse me.. can i see your ticket?' 

 

WTF?! seriously? of all times, now?! damm.. i gave my ticket, knowing he'll move me away since i went to another seat.. (since i ran back from kissing you, a lot more people arrived.. like 2-3 hours late..wtf right?) and he did move me.. but moved me in front.. i was like 'whuuuutt...' meanwhile, the girls were still performing IGAB.. it was about hyoyeon's rap segment.. of which im not entirely bothered by it.. when i moved forward, i kept my eyes on the stage.. i was so much closer than before.. and the girls' outfits were colorful.. i kept my eyes on jessica as usual.. so when jessica and seohyun sang the ending parts together, i could see them teasing each other.. pointing at each other clearly.. no i didnt take pics this time.. too precious to show people haha

 

and i did do my chants so.. proud SONE HERE!!

 

 

the ending song was the usual ending song 'Hope' by the SM Family.. before, i didnt really understand the lyrics, but today they had the lyrics in chinese.. and i did have tears in my eyes by the end, i was so happy i finally got to see them.. unfortunately, this time when the artists went to the sides, i wasnt able to leave my seat.. since i was assigned there, and i knew other people would rush there since its EXO, SJ and DBSK together.. i did focus on jessica the entire time, so i wouldnt lose sight of her (LOL, stalker much?) she left the stage with BoA, and never came backk *sob* ... i dont think she came back for the final thanks and goodbyes, rude girl XD

 

as the song draws to a close, the girls go in 1 by 1.. EXO were the last to leave the stage.. particularly 1 member, whom i couldnt make out who he was.. he ran from 1 side to the other, bowing to the audience like a real performer.. kudos to you!! whoever you were.. 

 

 

and that's all she wrote !! technically i did.. but eh.. 

 

i did managed to get to the exit where the artists were supposedly going to come out from.. but i really had to go to the toilet, and wanted to go home badly to write this.. so i didnt stay around for too long..

 

 

 

 

forgive me if this is too long, too crappy.. or anything.. im writing this at 2am in order to not forget anything tomorrow.. if u want the parts where i omitted due to none soshi related.. just comment and i'll add it in quickly in another post
