Infinite One Great Step Returns
Yey~
When I first saw the tickets they were actually all sold
out. Luckily, as time went on seats became available—although they were pretty awful
seats all the way in the back. After
many purchases and refunds I slowly worked my way up into the R section (there
was Standing, R and—the furthest back—S). Since Jenee is not nearly as big of an
Infinite fan as I am, she chose to stick with her S seats and not try to get in
the R section.
Needless to say, the concert venue was packed and this was
the Olympic Park Gymnastics Gymnasium which had about 15,000 seats (I think
they were sold out by the time of the concert, too). I just can’t really
explain what it’s like to have that many excited fangirls IN ONE ROOM. There
are only around 16,000 people within the city limits of my home town back in
America, to give you a little prospective. That’s just insane.

Anyway, the concert was fantastic. The opening was really
epic with some great lighting and pyrotechnics. In fact, I really enjoyed the
glitter canyons thoughout the show!
And the fans….wow. The screaming was so loud it nearly
overpowered the actual music.
Plus, kudos to Infinite because they totally played all of
my favorite songs. I was so happy I nearly cried.
I wish I could find some good fancams online because I wasn’t
able to get any pictures/videos but it looks like everyone else was pretty much
in the same boat. In fact, security was so strict at this concert that we saw
numerous people having their photos deleted and being escorted off the premises…how
horrible! I know that they explicitly prohibit photography and videos and they
give a very clear warning about what will happen if you break the rules…but
still. They should at least warn you once before hauling you out like a
criminal from a concert you paid a lot of money (and possibly came a great
distance) to attend. I felt really bad for those girls!
I honestly don’t understand Korea’s stingyness with photos
and stuff during concerts. I get that they don’t want people bringing
professional video equipment in there and recording the whole thing but let a
fangirl take a few pictures yeesh.
Ok, I’m done ranting about things I can’t change. This will
be another one of those things where the memories alone will have to suffice.
Here are two fancams that I did find though, posted by a few brave souls on YouTube:
This video isn’t that great but it’s my favorite song by
Infinite “Inconvenient Truth” (불편한 진실). I was super
excited when they played it.
This video is pretty awesome and you can hear all the fans chanting “dashi
dorawa” (다시돌아와)…it was just
thousands of people saying that over and over before they played the song.
Pretty cool!
Sunday, Jenee and I went to see Ghost, The Musical. I already went to
see it back in December but since Jenee hadn’t seen I figured why not? Plus,
front row seats! Who could pass that up?
This time I actually got to take some pictures which was fun.
Row 1, Seat 2!
And yeah…front row…
I had many moments of freaking out when Joo Won was standing right in front of me. I don’t think I’ll
ever be able to quite comprehend that this really happened (in fact, my hand was shaking so bad I got a lot of blurry pictures haha). Wow.
Pictures Jenee took with her phone (no zoom)
The musical was just as good as before and I’m super glad I went a
second time. Who knows when I’ll ever get to see Joo Won perform live again?
Hopefully sometime in the future, but realistically it probably won’t happen. I’ll
treasure this memory forever ♥
