2011 1n2d fighting!!
LEE SEUNG GI FIGHTING!!!

Firstly, I’ll start with the organisers.

Launch has been rather efficient at ticket sales, promotion etc but the greatest disappointment came on the day itself. At MBS, it was an re-enactment of the infamous 313 incident. There were no barricades set up for queuing at outside MBS as both MBS and Launch had totally assumed that fans would only start queuing after the official time. (barricades were only set up in MBS itself) YEAH RIGHT. most fans queued overnight, hoping for the best position to stand. There was a major chaos outside the gates of MBS convention centre as well as all the fans were packed like sardines. Securities started forcing people to move back but when they tried opening the doors again, everyone surged forward. Even the only guy in charge there was forced into the crowd. Friends got separated and it was an incident that taught me a good lesson. NEVER QUEUE FOR A FREE STANDING EVENT. I’ll definitely erased that from my memory, as painful as it caused me physically and mentally.

Holding area before the concert:

There was a holding area for fans to queue before the concert. As cool as it may sound, it was freakin cold and fans were not allowed out of the place once they entered. The organisers never took into consideration that fans needed to eat even if were queueing early.

Entering the venue:

The organisers let in 30 people at one go, so the waiting process was long and draining. But I’m not complaining that it should have been done in a different way.

The venue:

Pathetic. Bad sound system. What else can you expect from a convention centre. But the I stage was satisfying as it allowed close interactions between the artistes and fans.

Finally, the CONCERT ITSELF.

I was really satisfied with the video transitions that MULA has prepared as it created a seamless entry into the programme put up by the next artiste. The lightings and occasionaly fireworks were cool and appropriate as well.

MBLAQ came out first and everyone in the crowd started tip-toeing to get a better view.

OMG IT’S MBLAQ. They rocked with “Oh yeah” and “Y”. Exactly like how i pictured it to be. They seem a little tired though AND JOON STARTED REVEALING HIS ABS OMG. Hahahah that got everyone screaming. MBLAQ put up solo performances for the fans and it proved to everyone that they are capable individually. G.O sang as english song in perfect english. Joon did his awesome ballet. Mir rapped down the aisle. Seungho DANCED though, that was rather surprising considering he was a vocal. Cool dance Seungho! And then it was Chundong, with his rendition of Rain’s “In My Bed” Damm I was so surprised when Chundong performed that. Considering myself as a huge rain fan when I was young and having attended quite a few of Rain’s concert, Chundong’s rendition was subtle and innocent. Hahah xP Nonetheless, I was impressed with young Chundong. Then MBLAQ returned to put up a group song “One Better Day” which sounds a whole lot better LIVE than on TV.

MBLAQ performed as I pictured them to on TV. But I had expected more charisma oozing out from them. It’s okay, they are still young performers and we can definitely expect more of them in the future.

NEXT UP WAS MISS A(missing Suzy).

Considering that Miss A is a small idol group to begin with (since there are groups with 13), Suzy’s absence was greatly felt on the rather empty stage. I had wanted to see how Suzy looked like on stage, must be damm gorgeous but was upset that she can’t make it due to her drama filming. Nonetheless, I’ve finally met the girl I’ve liked since 2006. MIN <3 I’m glad she managed to debut and make it big afterall.  Miss A’s first performance was “Breathe + Chinese Ver” It was something which I did not want to see after they performed that at MAMA. Honestly, if the Singapore fans love Kpop so much, they wouldn’t really want to listen to anything Chinese. Haha. But it was cool though, since you get to see Jia and Fei sing in their native language. The transition from Korean to Chinese wasn’t sudden but I couldn’t catch it in the beginning since Jia suddenly rapped in Chinese. Hahah xP

Miss A had their ment in English and Chinese. Min’s English is so cuteeeee Jia and Fei spoke in Chinese to the crowd.

They went on to perform Poker Face which they performed at Chocolate if i didn’t remember wrongly. Lip-synced? But their dance was impressive. They are probably the best girl dance group as a whole, after CSJH

The last song they performed, was the song that rocketted them into popularity. It’s totally deserving of the song of the year award. Awesome song by a talented group. The whole crowd screamed along to the song.

2AM WAS UP NEXT. <3333333333

2AM started with “Can’t let you go even if I die”. AWESOME AS USUAL. Having saw them at their showcase, I knew what to expect from them, and they weren’t below expectations! hahaha xP All 4 members are really good looking in real life, especially Seulong and Jinwoon. They sang all their hit songs but I’m really sad that they didn’t perform “This Song”, the song that captivated all our hearts. They also performed: you wouldn’t answer my calls, like crazy, friend’s confession, sorry i can’t smile for you, i was wrong, number 1, 어떡하죠. You wouldn’t answer my calls sounds freakin good live. I’m glad they sang sorry i can’t smile for you, cos it’s not a title track yet it’s damm good. I was wrong was hot. I was actually surprised that they sang number 1. Remember the hideous MV? I’m glad I saw it LIVE. The boys went crazy, dancing around stage, running there and here. It sounded really good LIVE. Kwon was in the KKAP mood so he did abracadabra right in front of us, which was directly infront of me and he did HOOT everywhere he ran. HAHAHA xP Meanwhile, prince Seulong walked down the asile like a gentleman. Note the contrast. HAHAHA

BEAST was the 2nd last group to go. The group I knew least of before I went for MULA. I was only familiar with Ki Kwang and Doo Joon. But I tried to force myself to memorise their faces and names the night before the concert and tried listening to their songs so I won’t look stagnant at the concert. DAMM DONGWOON’s DAMMM GOOD LOOKING. Ki Kwang and Doo Joon are as good looking as I expected them to be. Yo Seob was actually even cuter in real life!!! Junhyung was more good looking too. They sang quite a few songs like Shock, Soom, Beautiful, Oasis, Mystery, Bad Girl etc => their hit songs. There were a lot of beast fans there and when they came on, the whole crowd was in a frenzy. SCREAMING. There was this ahjumma in front that left during beast’s performance because she couldn’t tolerate the noise the crowd was making. Hahaha Beast didn’t act like a rookie group at all and were charismatic. Honestly, though I’m more of a MBLAQ fan, I couldn’t help but be impressed at how good Beast was even though they had debuted around the same time. Beast dance choreos look better LIVE than on TV, more impactful.  There were loads of cutesy moments between the members I remember. Doojoon was smelling Junhyung(?)’s armpits!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA it was hilarious. Beautiful is my fav Beast song I think. LOVE THE CUTENESS TOO.

I think MULA saved the best for the last. It’s the leaders of the Hallyu wave 2PM. It became 2PM’s mini concert as MULA gave them the most time to perform. They had 2 sets of outfits to change into as compared to other artistes 0 sets. They even had video transistions during their performance!! OMG Though it was quite uneven, the time allocation I mean, I think 2PM made the best out of it, as they brought the concert to a whole new level. 2PM in indeed one of the best groups that KPOP has these days. Being quite a fan of them, I kinda expected them to do some stuff etc but they totally blew my expectations away. THEY WERE A DIFFERENT LEVEL AS COMPARED TO THE OTHER ACTS. Their entrance was already so FREAKINGGGGG IMPACTFUL that it was so strong and powerful. HOTTTTTTTT. They started with “Don’t stop can’t stop”, the song that kept every single person in the crowd SCREAMING to 2PM. A song that I knew that would have given such an impact when I watched them perform it on TV. BUT OMG it was just AWESOME. The passion they brought on stage was AMAZING. Even as compared to the other artistes. I think 2PM’s power was the greatest.

They then continued with the same passion and when into “I HATE YOU” OMGGGGGGGG it’s a song that I’ve always wanted to see it LIVE. DAMMM HOT. like seriously, especially the part when they go down their chins and where junsu does the no no no thing. OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Btw junsu was damm funny. HAHAHA

And they went on to do “WITHOUT U”. It’s better LIVE than on TV. And I could finally listen to Junho’s vocals that I’ve always wanted to hear. I wonder how 2PM manages to sing 3 songs continuously with hardcore passionate dancing without compromising on their vocals.

Then it was their 1st MENT. OMGGGGG Khun and Taec’s ENGLISH WERE DAMM GORGEOUS. JUNHO’S ENGLISH WAS SO CUTEEEE. Junsu said he lived in Singapore for a year!!! HAHAHAH xP HAHHAAH he was just damm funny lah.

They sang ONLY YOU and they were giving out flowers to the crowd!!!!!!!! ROMANTICCCC How badly i wanted those!!!!!! <333333 They also remixed the song too!!! It’s a song they sang in 2008 too, and they rocked it and it definitely brought back memories. It just shows how much they have changed too.

They went on to sing Angel with Angel wings (cliche but it looks too small for our muscle man)

Then it was video transition into I’LL BE BACK. OMGGGGGGGGG EVERYONE DID THE TERMINATOR THING ALONG WITH 2PM. And sang along to everything. It was Khun’s part and everyone shouted with him!!!

Next was Tired of Waiting, the song that was on replay in my MP3 for 3 months. SERIOUSLY. it’s a song that grows on you. I didn’t like it the first time i heard it at the gayodaejun. But OMG khun’s pelvic thrust was SEXYYYYY..

They sang Can’t Forget Your Love and Taec picked a girl from the crowd and kissed her on her hand. THAT’S ALL I COULD REMEMBER. I WAS LIKE OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HAHAHAH

It was 10 out of 10, they sang it 2 years ago and it’s definitely a MILLION TIMES BETTER NOW. <3 Junho was dammmmm sexyyyyyyyyyyyyy <333 They did all their flips perfectly even without Jay Anyways Khun did Victoria’s Ddong ddong thing in Nu ABO during his la la la part <33333333 OMGGG HAHAHA xP Damm cute khuntoria!!! <33

They sang  I give you my life, one of my fav ballads from them!!!!!!!! it’s damm nice to hear it live!! Chan’s vocals are really up to standard!!! <3333 previously as a rapper, but he can sing too you know!!

They sang Gimme me the light, don’t really like the song but nonetheless… they were very serious abt it. they walked down and stopped at the aisle so WOO was right in front of me OMGGGGGGGGGGG

Next they sang the song that made 2PM a household name, AGAIN AND AGAIN. <333333333333 I LOVE HOW KHUN DOES THAT PART. I think that Jay had a huge role in making this song AWESOME. but yeah, they were good, even without Jay. (i’m not a jaywalker cos I believe that’s some kind of conspiracy that resulted in Jay, our talented leader, leaving 2PM, and it’s not the fault of the other members. They are just puppets of JYPE)

Then it’s my fav song to watch LIVE, HEARTBEAT. The choreo is just freakin AWESOME LAH. It’s the extended ver somemore. The best song to end this whole concert with!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYONE WANTED MORE OF 2PM and shouted 2PM even when they had left the stage.

They didn’t come back for an encore unfortunately BUT all the artistes (except beast) came back on stage to thank the audience!!! WHERE’S BEAST?!

The act of the night was definitely 2PM, whether or not you’re a 2PM fan. I was taken over, completely. <3

Though it’s many’s first times seeing them in Singapore, I saw them perform at the Kpop Night in 2008, when Kpop wasn’t that HOT in Singapore. Who knew 2PM was gonna turn out this huge then? They were amateurs then, who didn’t know how to interact with the crowd and didn’t know how to produce a powerful stage. They have changed. THEY ARE FREAKIN SUPERSTARS NOW that have taken the whole of Asia by storm. Even though they have met with obstacles, I believe they will definitely produce better results in the future. Asia’s too small a stage for the beastly idols that can perform so passionately and powerfully. I’m not a hardcore fan of them, but I was truly convinced by them because of MULA

MBLAQ reminded me of 2PM in 2008 so I believe that they have much more talent and potential to be discovered!

In conclusion, MULA Singapore was definitely the event of the year for me. Memorable. Tiring but Mind Blowingly AWESOME. Hope that it can be a regular event after much improvements can be made!!! Thanks MBLAQ MISS A 2AM BEAST 2PM for putting up such an AWESOME concert! There should have been some inter group collabs!! ONE DAY <333 JYP NATION YOU KNOW!!!!! <333

When i first heard of hankyung’s lawsuit, i thought that it was a rather wise move, if he had been harbouring the decision to leave, as SM was in the midst of the dbsk lawsuit. There was no better time.

I can understand why he chose to file the lawsuit. as we all know SM is known for the treatment to their artistes. it’s little wonder why hankyung filed the lawsuit. However, what surprised me was the fact that he did not even consult his fellow members, even his bestie heechul was kept in the dark. It seems like he was determined to leave.

Now, put yourself in the members’ shoes. Wouldn’t you first feel shocked and then feel betrayed by your fellow teammate? the members found out abt his lawsuit through the news! i can understand why kyu wrote the post in his cyworld. “even a beast does not bite the hand that feeds it. i cannot understand” – in english. i’m not sure if he is fully clear of the severity and harshness of his choice of words. but i can understand it when he said he can’t understand.

let’s think about it. the 13 year contract that ties hankyung with SM. guess what, i don’t think he’s the only one trapped in that slavery contract. i’m sure the other members are also tied down by similar contracts. ill treatment by SM? is he the only that isn’t given rest? i’m sure the other members are also wearing themselves out but they aren’t given sufficient rest either. Is it because he misses his family in China? He spent nearly a year in China as SJM! I guess it’s the difference in endurance level. hankyung has had enough of the SM shit. and he knows he’s good enough to be independent. he has a huge fanbase in china. => he learnt of this after being part of SJM.  i can definitely safely say that one of  the reason why sj’s so popular in china is because of hankyung. if you’ve been to china, you’ll know the extent of his popularity.

But what I can’t understand is the fact that, let me use an analogy. Let’s say a basketball team training for the olympics. a team of 13. as a team they’ll have to train like crap together, win, lose as a team. and stick to one another during times of difficulty. and i’m sure it applies to a group like sj. they really have to go through hell together. especially during that time, kangin’s incident. can you imagine the stress sj had to handle together, because of 1 teammate’s mistake. the pressure and criticisms from the public? and to add on to that, a few months later, hankyung chose to abandon the team by filing the lawsuit. i can totally imagine how depressed sj must have been in the later half of 2009.

as i’m listening to super girl, i’m reminded of hankyung’s talents, potential, his great leadership in sjm and a teammate in sj. hankyung have always something to contribute to the whole team. his charisma, his strong stage pressence and his great sense of humour. <= his humour is not a joke. in both korean and chinese.

As much as i understand his decision to leave, i doubt that it was a well-thought one, but it’s definitely well-executed. => great timing!

There’s nothing we can do except to wish hankyung in everything he wants to do at the expense of his fellow teammates. I sincerely hope he’ll soar to greater heights as an individual. I’m sure he can do it. cos he’s really talented.

Even though hankyung may be seen as a betrayer to the whole team, I hope sj doesn’t bear anything towards him and understand and believe in his decision. remain as BFF. don’t cut off contact anymore! please?

with the 10-member sj and their bonamana, it’s time you return kibum? hahaha pls?

anyways although bonamana may be less addictive than sorry sorry[the dance], i hope that it’ll propel sj to greater popularity. xP

oh btw, i think that shindong’s being too proud and bitchy. thank god he’s getting married. hope the girl can teach him right. he’s getting on my nerves.

Your actions, your criminal records are simply unacceptable if you were to represent Singapore on the global stage. Your reluctance to give up your crown to someone more deserving shows how narrow minded and selfish you are. I wonder what the judges were thinking when they chose YOU!

But hey, you’ve inspired me to firm up my english in case of any future possible embarrassments! Thanks so much!!!

Kara’s 1st album was awesome, I thought. Sunghee proved to have great vocals, which I thought that “hey maybe she can do as well as ock juhyun” Kara + Hyori’s special stage only reaffirm this idea of mine when Sunghee’s vocals did pull off toc toc toc beautifully.

But guess what, the great vocalist Sunghee left the group. OH did I mention that Kara was MUCH more popular than the WG in their early days? Break it was better than Irony.

With the addition of the 2 new pretty faces into the group, Kara turned from a 4 member to a 5 member girl group without a really strong vocalist. Since then, the songs Kara have attempted were vocally less challenging. Their songs depended on the melody + looks and not much emphasis was placed on their vocals.

It annoys to hear them breathless in alot of their songs. Oh but then again WG sounds breathless too..

They were widely publicised to be the 2nd Fin.k.l but they far from the successes of one of the legendary female groups. Ock Juhyun, Lee Hyori, Lee Jin and Sung Yuri. Though not all of them have AWESOME vocals, let’s say they have their niche. Lee Hyori’s sexiness, Yuri’s beauty, Lee Jin’s cuteness and Juhyun’s vocals. Juhyun’s vocals really shook me when she started her solo works. Who can compete with such vocals? WOW.

Kara is probably abandoning their path to become the next Fin.k.l and join the realms of the rest of the female groups. Doesn’t Kara remind you of a smaller SNSD at times or just WG? Oh and Kara remade Nobody, which sounds as “good” as the original.

Been so into Mike He recently that I haven’t been catching up with Kstuff. Haha I totally LOVE Taiwanese dramas now! I really think they are so much better than the Korean drama these days.. I find Kdramas such a bore already! It’s not as though I’m watching any of them! I only watched 1 drama this year! BOF! But I regretted it!

It’s alright for me to give up on kdramas since I was never really interested. But it’s really difficult for me to give up on variety shows like 1N2D. The fact is I can’t, and I never will.

Kpop is nothing to me these days. Other than having to translate some of the lyrics to english, I don’t really bother about it anymore. Believe it or not, the last song I’ve heard was probably Seung Gi’s Let’s Break Up.

If only I can give up on Korea that easily… Sighs.

Never mind, just let me continue with my Mike He addiction first and perhaps I’ll just be back to “normal” I’ll have to spam about him first! OH BUT! I’ll definitely do something for wansyung’s birthday!!! Better start subbing something wansyung-ish!!

Oh about subbing, I’m still doing G.O.D’s intimate note… Haven’t been able to translate much yet all thanks to MIKE HE. BUT, I should be able to finish after my Chinese exam! Wait till NOVEMBER!

After IN, I’ll do G.O.D’s come to play. I’m still thinking whether to sub the full episode or just cuts? I KNOW subbing full episodes gives me headache. I felt so sick after subbing 1n2d’s IN already!!!

And now I shall continue studying for my upcoming Math exam and I’ll watch Why Why Love again!! Some Mike He pic spam!

Oh the reason why Mike He has caught my attention is because of his “badness” There’s something really mysteriously bad about him which makes him really HOT! It’s his eyes I think. Those eyes can surely charm everyone!
