Skibop!! 8,585 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Part 1: KNKOn Friday 6/23, Day 1 of KCON, I checked in and got my goody bag (which was literally just a bag, nothing in it ) With each concert ticket, you get a chance to win a fan engagement, which allows you to be an audience member during a meet and greet with one of the artists. I didn't win one, but some random girl was nice enough to give me her KNK one for free KNK were hilarious as expected. But my bias Heejun was sooo adorable, he kept saying "I love yooooou" and made every effort to communicate in english. Part 2: HIGHLIGHT After the fan engagement, I lost my friends and walked around getting free stuff to kill time, knowing at 2:30 I needed to be at that convention stage. Highlight was to be presented as the ambassadors for the Pyeonghang 2018 Winter Olympics. This wasn't published in the schedule, so of course only Lights knew the boys were going to be there. 30 minutes to the ceremony, I was PERCHED front row at that convention stage, food in hand eating my lunch waiting, I was NOT moving for anything lol. With my sun hat and shades on, I waited for it to start. As soon as they came out, i was literally SHOOK My entire body started to tingle, the adrenaline rush of seeing my faves right in front of me was just too much. The sensory overload almost made me cry, but I held it in. I took my shades off to get a very good look at my boys, looked at them all directly as they spoke to embed that moment into my memory in crystal clear HD. Looking across their faces, I was completely caught off guard by how good looking Junhyung was, like my GOD Everyone else looked exactly how I expected them to, but Junhyung just... pictures do not do that man justice, his visual was popping! To me, Yoseob looked a little nervous with his hands clasped together, GiKwang looked emo with his black bangs hanging over his face lol, DooJoon was in good spirits, and Dongwoon was such a sweetheart. Junhyung had his lil smug "Ima starrr" Actor Yong thing going on lol (If you've watched him on Weekly Idol, you'll know what I'm talking about lmao). Highlight got presented their award, and then they threw the stuffed animal mascots into the crowd. Part 3: The concertOkay so #everybodyknows I only went to KCON for Highlight. Got the day 1 concert ticket just for them. But I enjoyed the entire thing! KNK was the first act, and I call them baby Highlight/BEAST for good reason. Great live performance. I recorded a snippet of Sun, Moon, Star and all of Knock since that's my fave song. Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5kbpuVeZRbOM3dtRVl2clNYZU0 Next performers were SF9. Now I had never even heard of them before that night, but they impressed me tbh. They have a lot of personality. I shazamed all their songs They also did a special stage covering EXO - Call Me Baby and BTS - Fire. Another special stage was Dongwoon and Sobin? I think thats her name of GFriend singing Beauty and the Beast. It was beautiful. After SF9 was GFriend. I could careless about girl groups, but homegirl sitting next to me was receiving her life. I almost went deaf in my left ear, but I just chilled and rode it out because I already knew I was going to be equally a hot mess as soon as Highlight came out. But before them was Zion.T. I never really listened to his music before, but he sure was cheeky and the crowd loved him lol. I recorded him performing The Song.Finally Highlight was the closing act of the night, and I was giddy in my seat waiting in anticipation. As soon as they came out, I pressed record on my camera and recorded EVERY song, you know I had to lol. They did Plz Don't Be Sad, Calling You, YeY, Good Luck, and Beautiful Night. When they did their last performance, Beautiful Night, I just lost it, I was done. That's my favorite Beast song of all time, so to watch them perform it live was just everything.

I felt like I just had to go this time because my ultimate bias group was there. I am hoping that one day Highlight can come back to America to do a solo concert of their own. But if not, I am glad I was able to experience them this way. I fell in love with them even more because of this, and getting to see KNK as well just verified my opinion of them as great performers. I can't wait to see what more they have in store. As previously mentioned, I recorded lives of KNK- Knock, KNK - Sun Moon Star, Zion T- The Song, and Highlight/BEAST's Plz Don't Be Sad, Calling You, YeY, Good Luck and Beautiful Night. If you would like to see them, just quote me and I'll link you.

mistressnicey 25,196 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yes! That's exactly how I felt when I saw Junhyung irl last year TT but I'm junhyung biased so I'm not sure if that played a part but I def found him hot and very charismatic on stage that time. It was so different compared to only watching him on my laptop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
