[160219] exoluxion in chicago w/mia!
right so i had the luck of having a front row and center balcony seat and naturally i brought along a really obnoxious sign that i held up throughout the whole concert. my friends on the first floor said it was super visible
the wait was killer, the wind was crazy and every 5 feet there was a chanyeol stan haha. once we were inside everyone was being super cute and singing along to the songs they played while we waited for the show to start
@jongdaecouture and i finally got to meet after crying over kkt since december. melli is so adorable omg words canât express how nice it was seeing her
when the boys came out i kind of lost it. they opened with overdose and there was fire and there were tears and honest to god they were so much more beautiful in person
the fans!!!! were amazing!!!
our pit was seated but got changed to standing last minute. we were all kind of on edge wondering if weâd be a âone step backâ stop. but those fans in the pit pulled through and were wonderful and the boys really got in there and interacted with them :))
the security guards were bobbing their heads along and mouthing the words it was cute
lots of fanboys!! baekhyun was talking about it during the last ment, they kept showering attention on this one guy in the pit
i spent like 80% of my time eyes glued on jongdae. his dancing is so good??? i felt like shrieking every time he did something a little extra his moves are really controlled and sharp
there was no el dorado :(( they took their gold coats off (arms!!! everywhere!!) before doing introductions, which were relatively short intros minus suho, who was such a sweetheart and tried to speak so much english!!
jongdae talked about how he was a bulls fan and got some jordans for their security guard. minseok and suho went on about deep dish pizza and baekhyun did a short skit about how windy it was. i felt lowkey really proud of being from chicago haha
chanyeol and sehun and maybe kyungsoo were the crowd favorites, but everyone else got a nice amount of screaming :) lay also got lots of love during the vcrs
they all sang live and sounded amazing!! miracles in december kind of did it for me all three of them gave me the most intense chills ever itâs 100000 times more emotional live when chen sang i nearly fell over
ahh during lucky chanyeol went over and tried to expose suhoâs abs and failed because he had an undershirt on. he did manage to flash some of jongdaeâs tummy (we all lost it) and tried to get them to kissÂ
im not fond of 365 but it was one of the most fun stages because everyone was screaming 3 6 5 back at them haha and there was a lot of waving the boys give the best fanservice. jongdae gave so much love to the left and right sides i was like âwave at me please!!! i brought a sign!!!!!â
the pink shirts and pelvis move during christmas day were blasphemousâŚ.
mmm so during chanyeol and xiuminâs little talk before machine they had to teach us the chant for machine. it took a couple of tries at first we kind of just stared blankly at themÂ
actually ok all of our planned fan projects never really happened, so really all we did was sing along really loudly lol
they said we all looked cute when we were trying hard to memorize the chant for machine and that we focused on the performance really well
baekhyun said we must get good grades and the audience just kind of went âummmmmmmmâ and they laughed at us
i was waiting for jongdaeâs high note in drop thatâŚâŚ that never came rip
the call me baby/growl/love me right leg of the show was nuts omg. there was a mix of just screaming out all of the words and doing the fanchants but exo was really feeling it
we were big on screeching the english lines at themâŚÂ âheyyy girlâ âLISTENâ âsexyâ âeurureongâ âe x Oâ and such were deafening omg
the translator was probs doing her best but during the third ment things were especially jumpy because it seemed like the members were waiting for her to translate stuff and sheâd space or something
which was why when suho was making a joke in korean nobody laughed because we were waiting for the translator. they were all pretty aware though which is why ksoo jumped in and made the joke that suho wasnât funny to keep the ment going
the âno jamsâ joke happened and then suho threatened no encore if we didnât laugh at their jokes haha
ksoo also punched chanyeol because chanyeol called him king kong lol
kai was being his cute and sleepy self telling us that we gave him energy to dance. i loved watching him.
sehun said he was sick and had to visit the hospital before the show :((
they all looked so shocked when the crowd yelled âSHAWTY IMMA PARTY TIL THE SUNDOWNâ i nearly teared up
the entire chanting for the encore part was so nerve wracking omg in the back of my mind i was thinking like âwhat if we dont get an encore????â
but then the sad vcr played and they came out and did sing for you and the crowd went wild when sehun sang
the last ment felt like the highlight for me it felt really intimate because they were all smiles and waving like crazy
the venue held like 4500 and they were saying they liked the small venue because they could see all of our faces
baekhyun said chicago fans were pretty!! and suho said he wanted to memorize all of our faces and they were being gross and cheesy but i loved it
there was a lot of âwe love chicago so much!!â it was cute haha
they asked if we would wait for them to come back and honestly now im just hoping and praying they doÂ
we took some photos together, one normal one before minseok told us to âpose sexy!!â
suho led us into the âwe are ONEâ and âexo SARANGHAJAâ chants before they sang their last song
unfair was adorable, they were all grinning and jumping up onto boxes and waving and taking funny signs from the pit. we all sang our hearts out knowing it was the last song
after 2.5 hours of jongdae waving at the fans on the side it finally happened omg. i was really sure he could see my sign and at the end of the show as the doors were closing he stood at the middle of the stage and WAVED AT ME and my heart nearly stoppedÂ
he was the cutest, standing in the gap waving until the doors closed, and minseok and the others were messing around, jumping in front of him
the staff started packing up right away, and all of the fans kind of walked out dazedly and we were all singing what is love together and it was really nice
so even when i thought the night couldnât get better i was out taking a photo with my sign in front of the venue when a korean woman approached me and asked me if i was a chen fan. i said yes i am and she handed me a little pouch saying âpresent for youâ and it turned out to be a little support pack from the fansite just chen and i think it was the fansite master i ran into. whoever it was thank you!!! the pouch had some stickers, a support banner and fan(?)
so this was actually my first ever concert, and i donât think i could have asked for a better experience. my head is kind of reeling now just thinking about getting noticed by jongdae omg and here are some photos of me with melli, and my sign as well as the support pack thing i got :)Â
if you read this whole thing hats off to you i just kind of threw up online
