We ran into Yunho again in the lobby , who was walking back and forth with his stage outfit on, and then almost straight into a young, short and perfect guy. TAEMIN. Taemin. WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO WRITE! Suddenly he’s standing there, extremely close, talking and playing with a couple of dancers. He had his stage outfit on, smiling happily and beautifully. When he sees that the lobby has started to fill up with foreign cover dancers he disappears into his changing room quickly without any exchanges in greetings, but still, we smiled happily.

It is difficult to know where we should begin this post. There’s so much we’d like to tell about that everything is turning into a mess inside our heads. So we danced covers at Dream Concert and spent Friday night and the whole day on Saturday at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul. We saw a lot of stars face to face. The most important moments, not counting standing on stage in front of full stadium of cheering people, are:
We rehearsed on stage for the first time Friday evening. When we were finished rehearsing we went off stage and met U-Kiss standing on the grass in front of the stage. Dongho bowed politely and curiously. Instinctively we bowed in response. Eli said “Hi guys!” happily and we mumbled in response. It feels strange yet not as strange as you would imagine it.
When we’ve passed them we see another group of young men in the distance on the lawn: BEAST!!! We stand firmly in our place and stare at them. Some of them stare back at us, now everything feels extremely weird, Doojoon is mostly looking. Johanna has never really found him interesting but it’s a bit like when we saw Yonghwa, unexpectedly star struck. Doojoon is simply really good looking irl, less manly but at the same time not a young boy. Eh well, all the members of BEAST were very good looking, well-cut and well-dressed with glowing skin. We suspect that their company has given them a successful beauty treatment recently, they haven’t been this good looking in fancams and bts, right? Later they walk past us in the hall way extremely close without make up. Others in our group have more courage to react more as fan girls than us, and the members of BEAST hurry nervously past us. The only one taking it easy is Junhyung. He walks past us slowly while texting without seeming stressed by the fangirls ready to jump him. He looks perfect. Perfect but very young.
Afterwards we head for the dressing room to try on our clothes. 5Dolls is standing in there. They look at us but not, hm, as polite and nice as others. The following day they stand by the stage when we are about to perform. Maybe they were tired the day before sine they now cheerfully said hwaiting with us. On the way out from the dressing room we meet all the members of Kara, just like that passing us, and again we stare.
We arrive early in on Saturday morning at the stadium. During the day we rehearse and see all the rehearsals. Just like we wrote yesterday (an earlier post on their blog), some we saw from afar, some up close (depending on how and where we had to rehearse). The for us most overturning close performance was by 2PM. They had caps on to cover their faces from the sun, and possibly fancams since they had no makeup on and were pale. We are by this point sitting with like 30 other people and watching them perform. They are very professional and holding back despite this being a dress rehearsal. Taecyeon wore his cap backwards. Him, Junho and Chansung are mostly looking at us and performing as if we were a real audience. Nichkun is mostly hiding behind his cap and holding back but nod and smile to us before stepping off the stage. We think Nichkun is over worked and sick, he being as pale as he was almost made us worried. Over all the whole day already felt surreal that 2PM’s presence, or the fact that F.T. Island’s Hongki sat behind Elin and waited for his turn to rehearse, didn’t make us as dizzy as you would expect us to be.
But when Changmin and Yunho appeared by the stage our heads got really messy. One of our leaders said we could sit and watch while they perform, but he changed his mind. Unfortunately we missed their rehearsal since we had to rehearse on stage after them, and we were told to backstage when they were about to sing. We stood in a row backstage when F.T. Island stressfully hurry past us (happy, curious and greeting us) and we can hear Changmin and Yunho sing in the background. When they’re done rehearsing THEY EXIT THE STAGE RIGHT WHERE WE ARE STANDING. They walk 10 cm from us. Changmin is looking professionally at us one by one, nodding and saying annyeonghaseyo! Then Yunho comes down the steps. He’s a bit more stressed but smiles politely.
One funny thing was us constantly bumping into U-Kiss! In the end it was almost as if we knew them. Kevin started to get happy to see us and was totally “HI!” every time we met them. We stood surrounded by a really happy U-Kiss who were shouting hwaiting and encouraging us when we were about to perform. Elin did a small private hwaiting with Kiseop and Johanna had a hand-sign language conversation with Eli. They kinda stopped being k-pop stars and became a happy group of guys hanging by, and on, the stage.
After our performance and giving the hosts (Kara’s Goo Hara, Suju’s Kim Heechul and Song Joongki) a round of applause, we got to watch the concert after some fussing. On the way out Elin managed to hysterically, and a bit embarrassingly, explain to a guard that we were indeed allowed to enter the area. Next to us during the English/Korean conversation stood a group of really thin girls dressed in red outfits that we were too stressed to look at closely, but right before we are allowed in we realized it’s T-ara.
We ran into Yunho again in the lobby , who was walking back and forth with his stage outfit on, and then almost straight into a young, short and perfect guy. TAEMIN. Taemin. WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO WRITE! Suddenly he’s standing there, extremely close, talking and playing with a couple of dancers. He had his stage outfit on, smiling happily and beautifully. When he sees that the lobby has started to fill up with foreign cover dancers he disappears into his changing room quickly without any exchanges in greetings, but still, we smiled happily.
OK. That was backstage. Kinda. In conclusion: BEAST, HoMin and Taemin = the most stars strucked effect on us. And we are sure we’ve missed something important (like Eru staring at Johanna because he probably recognized her from the Music Core audience). We’ll return shortly with the concert
