On the first day of December 2012, we went to a K-POP Charity Concert held at a (really rundown) Plaza Mayang's Convention Center.
I was pretty unprepared because my mum was the one who bought the tickets for me without actually asking me .. hahahaha. But it's all good, I really like going to concerts anyway!
IGNITE LOVE K-POP CHARITY CONCERT
They invited the Korean Christian music label, 3rd Wave, which consists of
K-POP star Brian Joo, Alexander Lee and the founder Johnny Lee, to perform some of their 3rd Wave music to raise funds to help the unwed mothers and increase the awareness of Birthright.
The place was crowded with families, young kids and fans alike -- don't imagine the huge K-POP frenzy crowd because this is nothing like it -- this is a polite, calm and well mannered crowd, which is reaaally nice unlike the crazy mess I experience in the other concerts.
The concert was supposed to start at 4pm but it only started at 4.30pm. Preeeetty expected.....
It was hosted by the Grace Assembly of God Petaling Jaya and emceed by two young teens who are good at hyping the crowd. They then invited Pastor Henry, the head of the Assembly, to give a heartfelt speech on stage.
Then the children from Rumah KIDS (orphanage) and Grace School performed some hit songs like LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem, Wonder Girls' Nobody, and a few K-POP mashup medleys. Really entertaining and inspiring :')
And then the light dimmed and the whole stage went dark -- and a figure came out and NOBODY SCREAMED IN EXCITEMENT or anything until the figure came closer to the mic stand and people made out the shape of the K-POP star, Brian Joo.
Then there was a little 'ahhhhh~~~' amongst the crowd. But still it isn't really crazy, LOL. Well to be honest, this concert is the most peaceful and the calmest one I ever went to... (Besides the NU'EST one in Sydney, LOL)
They then introduced themselves and started performing. ALL of the songs are unknown to me since they are coming as the group 3rd Wave Music and not as their solo selves (they sing in English though!). I basically sat through the whole thing pretty clueless -- occasionally trying to figure out the lyrics after a few verses and disturbing my sister with some light and silly remarks about how Brian looks on stage.
Pastor Johnny Lee is the main vocal and his voice is awesome.
Then my bias came and joined the two guys on stage -- WOOOP ALEXANDER LEE!
He's so much more adorable from what I remember last time. :P
And Brian Joo,
After 2 hours of excitement and fangirl spazzing over the two adorable boys on stage, the concert came to an end. :(
But since I'm a VIP ticket holder (thanks mum) , we are eligible for a fansign with the boys! So we queued up -- and trust me, the line isn't really long or pushy, the fans are REALLY nice. And guess what? There's no security there at all! Well probably one but totally unlike the other concerts.
Was on of the early ones with my sister, and we both decided to sing Alexander's Oh! Baby to him when we reached his spot at the fansign. He blushed and laughed.
He's such a bubbly and adorable guy - and I just love the conversations we had, TWICE.
Me: [finally reaches Alexander's spot]
Alexander: [still signing another CD]
Me: [waits]
Alexander:
Me: Do you remember me?
Alexander: Yeah!
My sister: We bought your CD again so you can sign it.
Alexander: Thank you SO much!
Me: I think I should get another one..
Alexander: Oh really? 대박! (Awesome!)
My sis and I: YES, AWESOME!
[We walked away]
Alexander: JUST GET A BOX! -- (implying that we should get a box to take more CDs to get it signed.)
[We all laughed]
Alexander is so cuuuute.
Brian, on the other hand, was a bit more passive and cool.
Well anyway, after that we had a good dinner with the family!
Happy to be blessed with such happiness and good things in life. ♥
