D-Day for Seoul'd Out Korean Concert@ Fort Canning Park!
The gate to the stage will only opened at 5.30pm but yy and I reached there at about 2.30pm
There was already a super long queue outside the gate and led all the way to far behind where it will take you 10 mins to walk from the starting point to where we are waiting. There were also lots of ppl queing behind us. I think there were 2000+ ppl in front of us. A total of 6000 people went to the concert.
After that I saw xx with her 2 other friends when I went to check out how long was the queue at 3.30pm.
I walked all the way to the front where the queue start and saw the stage from the side.
They were playing the songs that the korean artistes will be singing during the concert.
After that I headed back to my seat and also asked xx and her friends who were sitting behind to join us.
We just lined up in the queue and sat on the ground until around 5pm.
After that everyone stood up and moved in front bit by bit every 10mins when the gate opened.
Then, we queued until 6.30pm before it was our turn to enter the gate.

The venue was already full of fans so we hurried to find a place to sit on the grass since it is an open space concert. We sat on the left side on the stage. Alot of fans went to buy foods at the booth just located on our left side while waiting for the concert to start. Everyone sat on the ground and listened to some korean songs played over from the loud speaker and they were a big projecter screen in front of us playing the sponsor ads over and over again. Some of the ad shown were KOREA SPARKLING CF, Lee Minho's Singapore fanmeeting in Dec etc. The Korea spearking CF Entertainment version had included TVXQ and SJ and so everyone went wild and start screaming each time when the CF was played. I also heard SHINee's Ring Ding Dong being played for 2 times and everyone went singing "Ring Ding Dong Ring Ding Dong.....Butterfly....Crazy....Lady". It was quite funny as how everyone sing the song although SHINee was not there. At one point, I saw a cameraman thought that something big had happened when we screamed for TVXQ and SJ shown on the projector.

The concert finally started at around 7.30pm and everyone stood up and rushed to the front. I quickly grabbed my stuffs and ran forward. My foot knocked onto some food placed on the ground and the Dokboggi spilled all over my Jeans. The sky had turned quite dark and it was hard for me to see but I can feel it. I couldnt care more and left it that way until the concert ended. The concert started with a few Korean traditional dance followed by some artistic drawing perf and B-Boy,JINJO dancing.

The MAIN SHOW only started at around 9pm. Yes 93.3 DJ Liyi and another female host started to warm us up by asking us to cheer.Both of them speak in a mixture of Chinese and English and some Korean from Liyi. The concert started off in sequence with Park Sinae, Mario,Lee Ji Su, T-Max, FT Island and finally Brown Eyed Girls! yy and I tried to move forward bit by bit once we saw a small gap in front as we want to get closer to the stage.

Park SiNae sang super well. Her vocal is damn strong but I only knew a song by her from 'My Girl' ost. Mario collaborated with her and sang a few songs togeher. Lee Ji Su sang quite a couple of ballad songs and 2-3 of it were from 'My Girl' ost too. He sang with so much emotions. We were cheering for him and I guessed he was moved at how supportive we were during his perf. I think I saw his teary eyes. It was red when I see from the projector. My camera died off in the middle of Lee Ji Su perf so I was not able to take any pics of the rest of the artistes. Anyways, my camera was not good enough to do closeup so even if I can take, the pics will turn out to be super blur too.Therefore I decided to just focus on enjoying the perf.

When T-Max came out, we all went crazy. They were so friendly and I was always looking at YunHwa. He is so pretty in person. I knew him from the variety show 'Magnae Rebellion" but he looked so much better in person. Kim Joon was over at the right side on the stage most of the time so being at the left side of the stage, I was not able to see him much. Anyways, I am not a fan of him. MinChul was standing in the middle and I can see that he was really happy to be here in Singapore. He want to introduce Korea to us and asked whether we know about Kimchi and 4 seasons in Korea. He mentioned that Singapore is a nice place but the weather is a bit hot. He took off his jacket. He did most of the talking in understandable English. I asked yy to take alot of pics of YunHwa as he is seriously looking very adorable, cute and pretty in person. I shouted for his name and waved hard at him when he looked to our direction. I just die when he smiled and waved back to us. I am happy that I stood on the left side.

Next up is FT Island and the cheer got even more louder. It was a pity that they cant played their instruments live except for Minhwan who played the drum even though it was an open concert. The only live was HongGi singing and both SeungHyun and JaeJin's rap. I can see that they were not enjoying the stage that much as they dint really smile alot. But SeungHyun did quite alot of fanservice and I can see Minhwan smiling while playing the drum even though he was at the back. I couldnt really see JongHoon from my side as he was at the right side all the time in group formation. JaeJin's even took of his jacket after the first song. I guessed the weather was probably too hot to them since it is now winter season in Korea. HongGi spoke in Korean slowly and Liyi helped to translate to English informing about the fanmeeting held next year Jan. SeungHyun also shouted a line of English but I forgot what he said. He was standing at our side all the time and yy had a good time taking photos of him. HongKi's hairstyle looked like YB's Jeremy style with 2 small horns on top of his head.

Lastly, the ending stage belong to Brown Eyed Girls. They were seriously looking very pretty in person. JeA looks like a doll and GaIn is so skinny with a super slim legs. Their skin are very fair. They perf 4 songs(Sign, L.O.V.E, You Rise Me Up and Abracadaba) and one Encore song(How Come). They wore the white customes where they wore on the Korean music shows. They were all super friendly. JeA and GaIn waved to our direction and all of us waved back. JeA really waved and smiled to us alot of time. I was jumping up and down excitedly while waving to her. Miryo communicated with the fans in English. I did not know that she could actually speak English so well. She mentioned that it was their first time here in Singapore and they really did not know that there are so many fans here. She also talked about their debut time when they met with difficulties and now being able to go overseas and come to Singapore to meet us, it was like a dream to them. I was really touched by her words as it showed that they really appreciate the fans here. I had officially became a fan of them after the perf that night. I think these girls are great and they show their sincerity to the fans. I love it!

During the ending stage, all the perf artistes came back to the stage. T-Max's Minchul held a camera and started filming us. FT Island's SeungHyun even did 2 sarangheyo pose toward our direction. The 2 magnaes of FT Island are really friendly and cute. yy held her seunghyun's banner up trying to get seunghyun's attention. I wondered whether he saw it since the picture on the banner is a 'girl' seunghyun. The concert ended at 11.15pm.

I tiptoed all the way from 7pm to 11.15pm trying to see the artistes' face. My foot hurt after standing so long. My back, neck and hands were also in pain after stretching myself for the entire concert to be a few more cm taller. We were feeling so tired, thirty and hungry. I think this is all worth it since I get to see the Korean stars. We heard people screaming when 3 cars passed by. The Korean stars were inside those few cars while we were walking along a route beside the road. All of us stop at where we were and waved to them but we couldnt even see who are they since it was too dark.

yy and I went to buy 100-plus at 7 Eleven and then we headed to MRT station but there was no more train service since it was already 12. We had no choice but to take a cab home. We walked around the area for half an hr before we found a place to take taxi. I reached home at 1am.
