[06.11.11] SMTown 2nd Concert and Press Conference

11 June 2011 - 06:10 PM

11 june 2011

2nd smtown live in paris Fanaccount

I arrived at 1 pm at the zenith, helped organize the bundle distribution before I headed out to find Vin, one of the person with who I was suppose to go into press conference. I met him next to the queuing line and he told me that he went to ask for our press pass and that we were to get them at 4pm.
We ate and stayed next to the Soshified banner, indicating people where to go to get their bundles.
Then at 3:30 I felt like it was time for me to find Vin again, when I finally saw him he was with Nichole and we headed out to press entrance.
That’s where the fun’s happening : they didn’t want to let us in because our names weren’t on the list and because the guy in charge wasn’t there. We freaked out for quite a long time before the guy in charge finally came out with the list, Vin and I got our pass but Nichole had to go all the way back to the zenith entrance to talk with another guy.
We all went backstage for a few seconds, I had time to see Key, Sulli and most of all beautiful Sooyoung came right in front of me and stoped at 1 meter away.. But I couldn’t allow myself to fangirl since we were here as journalists. So I had to walk away to the actual zenith stage where chairs were set up so that all the artists could sit. They came in, I fangirled inside time 1000000000...etc, but again I was not showing anything since they were constantly asking : “are you fans ? Who are you here for ?...etc” and honestly I was kinda scared to be kicked out.
We had a small photo time and then they did an interview with some big network cameras (kbs, sbs...) and then.. ..it was time for the questions. But it was so suddenly announced and not loud enough so only people paying attention (like me =) or people close enough (like me=D) were able to hear it. So nobody was reacting and Tiffany was like : “Do you have any questions ? “ to everybody, I jumped on the occasion, didnt have a mic but Leeteuk ran from his place to personnaly give his to me, and (trying to control my shaky voice) I asked something like : “Smtown is not only about France, but about Europe and the world. So if you had any chance to perform anywhere. Where would you like to go next ?”. Tiffany answered. While looking straight at me. I. Died. There. And yeah, I know my question was kinda lame but they were all professionals next to us and nobody asked things like : “What’s your favorite place in Paris ? ‘ And I didn’t want to sound like a HUGE fan. Anyway basically she answered :”everywhere” but in a longer sentence that I do not remember (was not paying attention to words lol, I was like face, Face, FACE) but that you’ll all see when our video is out.
Tiffany and Jessica did translation for everybody, don’t know where the official translator went (locked in a bathroom to give Tiffany more speaking time ? *evil smirk*. Kidding haha) but she was like : “there’s nobody else so we’re just translating haha.” (Screams inside “Tiffany you’re sooo NICE”), sorry I did not listen to what the other artists were saying (even if I looked like I was listening I do NOT remember anything coming from them...). Then I allowed myself to smile a bit (coughcouldn’tstopmyselfanylongercough) and to be honest I’m pretty sure they knew who we were =D, because they waved at us specially and well, I kinda screamed : “Soshified is here too !” while they were going (reporter in front of me said : They’re everywhere” LOL)
Then began the real stressful time where I didn’t know if they were going to make us leave the zenith. I was just pretending to check and recheck what I wrotte haha, and then BAM ! Camera appears of nowhere in front of me : “sorry, you’re journalists right ? ‘still feeling very warry) “ Of course ! “ (think : what do you want with me ? ) So what they wanted was an inetrview, in french, they asked questions like : What do you think are the chances for Kpop to succeed in Europe right now ? (never answer a question in one line, turn the subject around to basically say : Not now but soon enough haha). I finally got away, and saw one of my Sone friend from soundcheck running towards the scene, that’s when I realized that they were letting people in. Since they were not checking tickets of anything anymore inside, I walked to my friend and stood next to her (which was front row of the Y stage slightly on the left so I could get fanservice coming from there too ^-^). We waited till 7pm and the show started !
I’ll skip to soshi’s part though (the most important ones haha) : Seohyun came out (first) with Kyuhyun (after) singing : (dnt remember the tittle Falling slowly ?) And I was waving my pink lightstick-foam heart like crazy, got Seohyun to look at me kkkkk. Then came RDR and I was screaming my brains out : It was awesome. Then Tiffany said : “We’ll take off our clothes first (they had the My child outfit under a RDR jacket) “ I was like : please DO !! lol They then introduced themselves, and that’s when I realized that they were way more SONEs today than yesterday, because the screams were louder . The girls looked so very happy and they were already waving at sones in the pit and doing fanservices =), Seohyun messed up what she wanted to say in french but it was soooo cuuuute that everybody actually cheered even louder ! afterwards came My child and bam Bam BAM ! They were coming forth, I was kind of embarrassed that they’d recognize me from press con (lol no real reasons), but when they did (Sooyoung went O_O, ^-^ at me and then I died, Yuri waved, Tiffany aknowledge me with a nod..) I forgot what embarrassement felt like and was all crazy fangirl all over again (gotta thanks Soy a lot for getting me this press pass that allowed me to be in before others and therefore my front row position =) thanks Soy that was amaJJing !) Honestly I can’t remember how much eye contact I got cuz they were basically in front of me dancing and then I always had one of the members in front of me.. But it was awesome, I died and died again thousands of little times until Himnae came out and at the end Yuri does the “Yes it’s you~~~uuu “ directly at me and then I was extatic I couldn’t even concentrate on the next two song by I do not remember who came next cuz I was way to emotionaly drained lol. I got sooo much waves, honestly I’m pretty sure I got one (personnaly lol) from everyone, Sooyoung was the best at fanservice seriously, then come Tiffany, Yuri and Hyoyeon, the rest of them were doing a lot but nothing compared to the four there. But really the moment I seriously can NOT get over is the foam heart business, they were all still singing the begining of Sorry Sorry and I turned to the other Sone girl (Sarah) next to me and told (screamed lol) that we should try and give the foam heart to the girls since we’re front row and thay were most likely to pass in front of us again. I was preparing myself when they came, Taeyeon and Tiffany were just in front of us so we kept waving (shaking) the foam heart crazily as far as our arms could allow us, they looked at us, smiled (evil childs lol) and did not take the foam hearts. Some other girls went back and forth looking at us and waving but did not take them, to be honest I was starting to despair lol. But it’s not the end until they stop singing right ? So Himnae ! I continued screaming and waving the heart like crazy (litterarly CRAZY) and Tiffany with Yuri on her side came back to our side looking at us. Fany looked at us smiling (OMG you’re SO pretty) and then bended down towards us, I was almost climbing the barreer to give it to her NO kidding !

She took mine and Sarah’s too, gave Sarah’s to Yuri, and carried it with them around, they waved one last time, and went back to the principal stage where Tiffany gave hers (well mine xD) to Jessica and she held it so cutely =), I was not responding to anything but Soshi at that time, I was screaming to who wanted (or not ) to hear : TIFFANY TOOK MY HEART !!!!!! OMG!!!!. (Sorry for those who, in my happiness got their ear damaged.) And then I saw Hyoyeon cutely fighting with Jessica over the foam heart, Hyoyeon “won” haha and kept the heart dancing and putting it above her head.
Then they bowed with everybody and the whole zenith shouted :”SARANGHAE SARANGHAE !!! “ a lot of time, and the artists seemeed very touched, thenthe girls were going to go off stage but Tiffany got all them to bow again as nine, saying in english “SONE THANK YOU !! “ Doing heart over their heads and waving till they were out of sight.

I LOVE SO NYEO SHI DAE.

Ps : We ran to get them at the exit too, we were all there and we shouted SOSHIFIED LOVES YOU !! and they all waved back at us before going in the bus =).

Guys if you didn’t know, the Girls love us TOO.
