My heads pounding like crazy.Body aches all over. I feel extra old,my age has caught up with me,I think. And then I remember I couldn’t understand a thing at times,’cause crazy shippers kept shouting.

But even after everything, I would gladly do it all over again. GDRAGON is a great performer. Hands down, one of the best
Soloist out there.

The whole concert was like one crazy party. But this is indeed the era of Kwon Jiyong. He moved me to tears when he said

“I’m also human just like you”

“We (Bigbang) will be coming back together. Always,always just be there”

            Seoul is great and I really want to go back so absolutely haha!
            But yes… all those things.
            Will there be one do you think before he goes to the army?

            Bigbang concert tours always have encores in Seoul. I definitely think he and Taeyang will have encore concerts next year before they start their service.

    My insta feed was full of Daragon shippers! It obviously must have been crazy there!

    But I am sure you loved it!!
    I want to go to a kpop concert too! I feel like it wouldn’t even matter who is the group as long as I can attend one!

        ObsessedMuch, yup it was so crazy.and there were younger fans (well younger than my 32yrs) who were even debating 😩😥😦 if that was just publicity stunts. .but the concert was so good. I feel I wasted my seated ticket cause I was on my feet from the time it started until the end of encore stage.

        Sicarius,we should prep for that Seoul trip then 😄

          CL performed with him in Seoul… IU did on another stage I’m pretty sure.
          So uhm… does that make those stages publicity stunts too? *shrugs* *can’t we just enjoy two artists with good chemistry on stage together?* *sigh*

          Oh man… your crowd sounds awesome. Most of the people around me stayed seated till the last song. 🙁
          (should probably stop spending money at the asian mart on snacks then… )

            ikr?well,i just charge it to experience thinking they are younger fans and probably newer fans too.nothing to dampened my enjoyment.

            luckily,there’s a good kpop following here especially for bigbang,exo,bts. sizeable fandom for other groups like infinite,block b,winner,infinite,btob,bap.a kcon organized by local k-ent groups also takes place at least 2x per year.

            so hard saving up for kcons.good thing (not sure if it’s really a good thing though) my travels for the past 2.5 years has been cut down to 4-5 times a year unlike before.so i save up on travel/vacation expenses 😂 that end up being spent on kcons/albums

          Hahha
          If there were kcons here I can only imagine how much money I would spend at them.
          I guess that’s one good thing out of Kpop barely ever coming to NZ haha.

            being a fan of k-groups is an expensive endeavor in itself already but when you have other passion projects/activities/hobbies who knows what would happen 😂😐😕😅

            so I try to manage everything, otherwise hmmm 😂😂😂

          Well I know, because ART SUPPLIES ARE SO EXPENSIVE ARGH. And so are books! And so is living. hahaha

          Hahaha yeahp! I’ve never had the desire to buy and album yet but now there’s three concert DVDs I would really love and I;m like ‘no’

            Adulting and our expensive hobbies..my art related expenses (pens & whatnots for my journal) sometimes make me hyperventilate when I see receipts or my credit card bills 😅

            I usually buy albums digitally only except for Beast/Highlight,as I’m always hoping to get Gikwang’s photocard 😩 Concert DVDs I’ve only bought Bigbang’s 0to10 Anniversary Concert so far 😅

          Ooooh you journal? Cool beans.
          Pens… yes, I have soooo many pens ahaha… and I go through my drawing ones so quickly it seems atm! And all the pens I would love are like $15 EACH, and now I need knew pencils because they’re getting short, and even standard ones are more than I can afford right now, let alone actually professional quality ones… *cries in three languages*

          Spotify is my best friend for music, except it doesn’t have Japanese albums. I would love to buy Block B albums, cos they’re so pretty (the Jackpot one ahhh)… but yeah. I want: Seventeen’s Diamond Edge Tour Concert DVD, an FTIsland 2016 DVD, and Block B’s 2016 Blockbuster Concert DVD. (And also maybe a BTS and
          GD one but… uhm yeah let’s not get too carried away haha)
          Awww! haha any luck with that yet??? (Also have you seen Tina Davidson’s YT videos? Just curious)

            I try as much to journal each week at least.i can only imagine your art expenses especially as you are very talented.

            those are great concert DVDs,though I’m not that familiar with Seventeen but they’ll have a concert here on Oct 6th.I rarely buy physical albums since the albums of groups I usually like are not regularly sold or open to group orders in kshops here in Manila.I’m just lucky that the local Beast fandom here opens group order for every comeback and even offer discounts to members

            Tina Davidsson? I’ve seen 1 YT video I think,when she showed her kpop collection.Man I wanted to “shop” on her collection.

            BTW,the teasers for BTS new album are so pretty. but my ARMY friends are crying cause of the expenses due to continuous merch/goods releases.

          Cool! I used to sort of journal. And bought a really nice notebook for the purposes of doing it properly… and it just kinda turned into a mish mash of sketches and random notes and writings and floor plans and random messes of drawing because it’s me. haha (sorry if I keep talking about myself… I hope I don’t sound arrogant or something… I just tend to ramble…O.o)
          Yeahp… although I try and keep it down it racks up over the year.

          Ahhh well, when the DVD comes out, it’ll be the DVD of the Seoul version of that concert and I’ve seen fan cams and it looks amazing, and my friend went twice in Japan.
          . Ahhh that’s a thing? Group orders? That’s really cool. I’d just find a site and order it and ship it tbh… I’m very not aware of the kpop album buying world though, still lots to learn.

          Yeah she’s from Sweden and she mainly does umboxings on her channel because she collects kpop albums as her hobby and she has a crazy amount! But I really like her unboxings, and I think she’s tries to get all the photo cards as well.

          Pretty yes. Big Hit knows how to make pretty things for sure. I kinda wish they’d do another concept though. I love HYYH era but it’s been two years guys… come one (they’re just milking it I think).
          Hahahaha there’s like four different album versions I think again. I’ve never been tempted to buy a BTS album yet… lucky me I guess!

          Not long then. It sounds like it’s a very good concert. I really liked Berlin when I was there. I didn’t get to see enough art because I was with friends who wanted to see all the Christmas markets. Will you have time to do some other things?

            I’m going there just for the concert because I will study on Düsseldorf. I spent a month there in June and I loved the culture and arts in the East Side Gallery or just generally art street. It’s a really beautiful city.

        It looked like it was a large venue. I’ve got tickets for FT Island in October. I’m looking forward to that.

          it was a big venue,bigbang has quite a big following here in the Phils.

          FTIsland next month,woah you’re so lucky.I always wanted to attend an FTI concert.But no Manila stops. Hopefully, I’d be able to watch them live soon.

            Maybe they’ll play in the Philippines next year. My daughter is going with me to see FT Island in Paris so we’ll be able to see some art and do a bit of shopping too. 🙂

            Hopefully they’d stop over Manila.I dont really have time to fly to another country to watch concerts.

            Wow,a great bonding experience for the two of you,FTI & vacation.
