I've posted this on my previous blog that I couldn't open again because it was registered with a yahoo mail account and now blogger only use google account so I must verify the ID and password using my phone number which I don't use anymore.... let's just move on with that blog, but I'd like to rewrite this here. This is about that time when I was a fan of MBLAQ and I got two free tickets to their concert when I was broke. Like, it doesn't happen all the time, but yeah, a simple competition won me a golden time (not to mention I got the gold seats too).
The competition was held by Korean Culture and Information Service on HiSeoul facebook page on July 2012. They were giving free tickets for 15 best entry on 'Write Your MV Concept for MBLAQ Non-MV Song' (I made up that title but that's what it was all about).
I made a futuristic time travel to Joseon era theme for MBLAQ - RUN, and it was actually used for their SBS Gayo Daejun performance at the end of the year (or at least that's what I think happened). I mean, they usually used ninja concept when performing this song, but at this performance they combined futuristic concept with traditional joseon type scenes at the background, so just let me have my own happy imagination. But it did won me something unforgettable anyway. Here if you want to read the MV script i wrote, to read it comfortably, just copy and paste it on MS Word first, you've been warned.
I had to use fan video because the SBS' ones can't be played here.
The BLAQ% Concert was held in June 30, 2012, in Mata Elang International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta.
I can still remember the feeling in my heart when I entered the venue, the first song I heard playing on the speakers while the audiences, the fans, were still entering the venue and taking seats, was MBLAQ - One. I was so excited when I arrived at the Gold section's front row where two seats were booked for me, and my cousin who's also a fan that I took along with me because I had two free tickets. Here to get a view of how the venue was.
I couldn't sit calmly on my seat because I can't help but being so hyper about the event that was about to start in minutes (it was delayed for 15 minutes), and then the fans started chanting "MBLAQ! MBLAQ! MBLAQ! MBLAQ! MBLAQ!" until the lights dimmed and we all just screamed our heart out.
The concert started with a VCR of MBLAQ fighting in the rain with other dudes, then the members' names displayed one by one. Only a second after, the ninja dancers jumped into the stage and starts their performance, followed by MBLAQ coming up slowly from under the stage.
MBLAQ - Run was the first song they performed. What a coincidence.
There will be no fan video made by me or my cousin uploaded anywhere because they were full of our dirty talks and unearthly screaming. But we got some pictures of them, I'll share some of them.
Disclaimer, these pics was uploaded on my old blog too, that watermark is mine.
After waving goodbye and left the venue, we walked with our new friends who also won the free tickets like me, we met when we were claiming our tickets. She was also the lucky one who won the lottery to get the only platinum seat and backstage pass. Yes, out of 15 winners, one would get that by taking numbers when claiming tickets.
She took this pic and shared with us.
Anyway, the concert was a success one despite of not being sold out, but all the fans were happy, the boys also did their best, I lost my voice, and my cousin almost fought with a security for the bouquet of flower Seungho was holding when he performed. That flower wasn't given away but it was above a cabinet in the waiting room to the backstage where we were waiting for our friend meeting MBLAQ inside their room, my cousin wanted it as Seungho was her bias, but the security took it away. 😂
This cousin of mine, she's a fighter. I must tell you, she did jumped off the fence between gold section and ran to the front row of the platinum section, so that she could took clear pictures of the boys (the five pictures before the one above was taken by her), she was caught by a security member at that section but instead of backing away, she told the security to back off, and the security did. I didn't go with her because I'm too timid to jump off the fence.
That night was an unforgettable event for me.
