Girls' Generation wow the Impact crowd with fairytale charm

Girls' Generation united the politically divided Thais last Saturday with their amazing world tour concert.

Hallyu supergroup Girls' Generation took the stage in Thailand for their sixth stop on the 2013 Girls' Generation's World Tour - Girls & Peace. Performing at Impact Arena in Muang Thong Thani, the girls were deeply touched by the fan events and the fans' cheer.

The tickets of the show sold so fast that ticket-booking website crashed.

Debuting in 2007, the girls rose to stardom with the 2009 hit "Gee". Recently the girls caught the world's attention by winning the top honour award Video of the Year for "I Got a Boy" at the inaugural YouTube Music Awards.

The audience cheered loudly and waved their pink light sticks as the girls kicked off the concert with "Hoot" wearing pink outfits with silver adornments. 

The concert was split into six acts. In the first act the girls performed their dance tracks "Animal", "The Boys", "I Got a Boy", "Say Yes" and "Dancing Queen".

During "Say Yes" the fan clubs made it a fan event by uniformly raising pieces of paper reading "Yes!" and "Let me th?nk", impressing the girls so much that they couldn't hide their smiles.

The second act opened with the girls appearing at the top of the stage attired in black tops that had their names on them and flamboyant neon-green and black leather jackets, performing "Mr Taxi", "TOP" and "Flower Power".

Each of the girls appeared on the stage with glittering red tuxedo-like mini-dress in a box for the song "Paparazzi", in which the light focused on the girls whenever the girl sang their line, after the VTR of the girls being fairytale princesses. The girls came out off the boxes for "Run Devil" and "Reflection".

For the second fan event, the audience showed their light sticks in a rainbow pattern of blue, green yellow and pink stick for when the girls, in long, white princess-like gowns, crooned the ballads "Promise" and "Baby Baby". During the latter Yoona, one of the members, was seen getting adorably shy as the audience overwhelmed her with loud cheers.

The girls left the stage again and changed into platinum gold and white blouses with blue tights, showing their renowned beautiful legs. They performed "I'm a Diamond", "Express 999" and "Tell Me Your Wish" and closed with the remix version of "The Great Escape" and "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You".

In the last act the girls sat on a large white stepped cake wearing rose mini-dresses with big glittering hearts on the top, singing "My J", "Kissing You/Way to Go" and the mega-hit "Gee". After that the girls asked the audience to sing along on "Complete" as a return favour for their performance. Fans responded by singing the tune in fluent Korean.

The girls closed the concert with "Forever", during which the final fan event reportedly impressed the girls so much that they cried. Audience members had made a card stunt that read "Always Here".

The girls rocked the encore with "Into the New World", "Oh!" and "Twinkle".

Kris's mom on Kris - Sina vol. 26 

There are times when Kris's mother comes to see him, she will just sit in the broadcasting room and watches him record, with tears brimming in her eyes. One thing in particular that she has said has caused Ma Song to have mixed feelings and her words are deeply etched into his memory. "Every time he calls, he would say that all is well, he'll say "Mom, I'm good." But I know this is not the case. Going to Korea alone, not being fluent in the language, having to learn many things from scratch, also (he's) not good at expressing (himself), and keeps everything in his heart. He's also trained inside (SM) for so long, there are several times when he is about to debut, but it fell through, about to debut again, but fell through once more... This is like giving hope but then smashing it into pieces... But every time he calls me, he always says, as of late everything is well, we will debut soon, mom, we will debut soon. 


In addition, when they moved to Canada he was called Kevin by his peers, and it was a really common name. Giving him the name Wu Yi Fan, I wish that he will be an ordinary person, leading an ordinary life, finding an ordinary job, and after that starting a family...

[TRANS] 140112 TVXQ Hit The Jackpot: The Evolution Of SMP

 

Jan 17, 2014

“Hitting the jackpotâ€

 

TVXQ have returned. Having recently celebrated their 10th anniversary, the duo has come back with a new song called ‘Something’. Since being released early on this year, the song has been met with a positive response on various digital music sites.

 

But the genre they’ve chosen is quite special. A swing jazz piece that has an energetic rhythm. It’s a genre that TVXQ, veterans in the industry, are trying for the first time ever.

 

TVXQ were usually known as the representatives of SMP (SM Music Performance). Most SMP songs are written by SM Entertainment’s composer Yoo Young Jin, and combines music with powerful choreography. With a slightly dark and heavy feel, the songs feature a strong electronic sound. Examples of this genre of music are TVXQ’s ‘Keep Your Head Down’ and ‘Catch Me’.

 

SMP has an indescribable charm that draws people in. The lyrics that criticize social conventions and the strong sound of the music keeps people tuning in. There’s a reason why TVXQ were able to attract some of the most loyal fans in existence.

 

But TVXQ have made a 180 degree change. They smile on stage and even wink at the camera. A sense of ease and relaxation can be felt from them. If they were strong warriors in ‘Keep Your Head Down’ and ‘Catch Me’, they’re more like the friendly guy-next-door in ‘Something’.

 

They have striven for perfection in everything till now, but seeing TVXQ show small chinks in their armor gives the impression that they’re thoroughly enjoying themselves on stage. They seem to have hit the jackpot that brings a sense of ease to their need for perfection.

 

The electronic sound has disappeared as well. It seems to reflect their determination to win with nothing but their voices.

U-Know Yunho’s vocal talent shines through in this song. His soft voice goes well with such a lively song.

 

To the public, U-Know Yunho has always been known for his dancing. The majority of people see Max Changmin as the member who sings and U-Know Yunho as the member who dances and raps. But these perceptions change the moment one attends TVXQ’s live concerts. ‘Something’ has helped prove that U-Know Yunho is a vocalist who can easily stand his ground.

The song, which mixes the members’ voices with a big band sound, reflects TVXQ’s charm that could only be felt at live concerts in the past. Last year, TVXQ held a nationwide tour in Japan that attracted 850,000 audience members to 18 concerts. This experience became the foundation for TVXQ’s new path.

 

But SMP’s strengths have been preserved in TVXQ’s latest title track. And these strengths can be found in the creative dance sequences. ‘Something’ features a line performance that uses ropes to create various scenarios, such as playing a guitar, fighting in a boxing ring, and pretending to be a marionette. World-renowned choreography Tony Testa, who worked with TVXQ on their last title track ‘Catch Me’, teamed up with the duo once more to create such inspiring dance moves.

 

The unique characteristics of SMP dance performances and TVXQ’s new sense of ease reflects the evolution of SMP. This change will probably be reflected in other groups, especially EXO, as they are the group that also performs a great number of SMP songs.
