Died and gone to K-pop heaven :)

Saturday evening turned out to be one of the best I've had during my time in Korea! I had the K-pop time of my life! After finding out about Dream Concert 2012 just earlier than day, I headed to World Cup Stadium with my new friend Clyde a couple of hours before the show was about to start in the hope we could find some tickets. Upon arrival we found out that official were no longer on sale, of course, and then had to rely on plan B: finding a sketchy man to sell us a couple of overpriced tickets on the sly. And luckily for us, just minutes before the show was about to start, we found said sketchy man and we in our seats just in time for the opening act! We were so excited that it had all gone to plan and we'd actually manged to get ourselves inside! YAY YAY YAY!

Crazy girl in the background! Hehe
Love this photo!

Our seats, rather hilariously, were placed slap bang in the middle of the BEAST fan section. We stuck out like a sore thumb! Interestingly, the audience at these group concerts are typically seated in a section according to their favourite act which is often decided by the ticket holder's membership within that act's fan club. BEAST fans (their fan club 'Beauty' -cute!) are primarily made up of identical looking, (the standard Korean school girl thick fringe and think rimmed glasses) highly overexcited, screaming middle school girls. Let's put it this way, I'm surprised my ear drums were still intact by the end of the night. I'd put money on the fact their voices weren't the next morning though.

The concert consisted of many popular K-pop groups and each performed an average of two songs. My favourite groups being the boy band, 2PM, known for their amazing bodies! and the girl group, T-ara who performed two of their biggest hits- Lovey Dovey and Roly Poly- which are, coincidentally, two of the catchiest K-pop tunes around and my two personal faves! The atmosphere in the stadium was electric from start to finish. K-pop is a huge part of Korea and young Koreans in particular go absolutely crazy for their idols. I still can't believe I ended up at the concert and saw all of these groups live! Especially my two favouite groups! I always hoped that I'd get that chance before leaving Korea to go to this kind of concert and it was just as amazing as I'd anticipated it would be!
