My short or long account of exo’rdium. Not sure how lengthy this will be or how coherent it will be because I honestly can’t remember most of because I was probably crying through most of it. The one thing you should gather from this is---if you are able to, go see them in concert. They are amazing. They have so much energy and emotion. So much to give on stage and it’s completely worth the time and travel to see them perform.
The first day (as some of you know) was not the best. I have really bad luck with EXO Concerts especially with the first days. They’re always the worst for me. Since I got the global single package, I didn’t really have friends around me. I can usually befriend people at concerts but not sure why it didn’t work or feel right with the people I was seated with this time around. Nevertheless---I enjoyed what I could. Day two was much better! I was sitting with @causekpop and she is just a riot. I love youuuu~~~~
The cinematography is so much better than tour #2. I was just in awe over the production (minus some of the photoshopping jobs---like SM. Can you please hire me? I have a degree in this and can totally help you photoshop better. Please contact me.)
They started off with MAMA and I was kind of sad it wasn’t the intro with the robes and what not? I thought they would do it for Day 2 but nope. They didn’t. Like I said, they have great energy. Everything they do, they do with immense feeling and strength and you can see it through their performances. I’m sad that Monster was the second song in the line-up. Since it’s one of my favorites, I was hoping it would be in the latter end.
BUT BYUN BAEKHYUN MAN. His little dance cut.
I hate him so much.
And by hate I mean he’s part of my little trifecta. Ever since Monster was released, I’ve had these small bursts of feelings for him that don’t relent as time progresses. (Also doesn’t help that every EXO item I receive by random is BAEK. I’m just so skldjf;klsfja;lfd I love it and hate it all the same) But this man. On second day, The whole dome was cheering his name and it was so humbling to watch him dance. I loved it. You haven’t lived til you’ve seen this boy dance. He’s wonderful.
ALSO. When you go to EXO’RDIUM. What you need to know is that you will think you’re in a strip dance club. Because that is what I felt when I watched them perform Artificial Love with those damn canes. LIKE WHY ARE YOU GRINDING ON A CANE AND WHY DO I WANT TO BE THAT CANE?! AND DO YOU KNOW WHO WAS IN FRONT OF ME WHILE GRINDING ON SAID CANE?
OH SEHUN.
I mean---I can’t even put into words because my mouth was just hanging ajar the whole entire time. THIS WHOLE ENTIRE CONCERT IS JUST BODY ROLLS, WATER, AND THEM TEASING YOU. It’s honestly the best kind of sexual torture????
BUT OKAY. BREATHE. That’s not even the worst part. See---I’m pretty much an emotionless type of person. I don’t cry when I see performances or feel anything deeply. I might feel happy like watching them but rarely do they ever touch my soul or anything like that. How wrong I was.
One and Only.
This segment. THIS DANCE PERFORMANCE.
I teared up so bad watching this. It’s a contemporary dance piece and I just---I nearly cried. I almost cried. It physically, emotionally, hurt to watch this dance portion because it was so beautiful. So moving. So incredibly gorgeous that if it went on longer than it should, I would’ve been a mess of tears. It’s my favorite. To watch Sehun dance to this was a pure gift and it made everything so worth it. Cams don’t do it justice. You have to see it with your own eyes and you will know why it made me tear up so bad. His movements, extensions, everything about it was so ardently beautiful. When I say he’s a water god, this performance personifies that exact thought. He is a water god. He most certainly is.
I think somewhere around the VCR when they change into the cone hats and what not was when the jfan tackled me on the first day. Basically, EXO was on these moving carts throwing out frisbees and toy balls. Chanyeol came around and threw a ball. The girl was seated in the row behind me. The ball flew in her direction but she couldn’t catch it so it went into my row and rolled to my feet (Chanyeol---why did you try to kill me with your stupid ball throwing aim. please. stop. i love you but i refuse to die for you). I bent down to retrieve it and somehow felt a body crash into my own and I was hurled to the floor. I’ve never been attacked before in my life and no less over a stupid toy ball. The jfan literally climbed over a row, tackled me to the ground just to get a ball. I’m the type of girl if u ask, I will give it to you. It’s just a damn ball and definitely not something to hurt another person over. When I say a fan is ugly---I mean their personality is ugly and she is that kind of fan. I’ve said time and time again, EXO will not love you if you hurt others for your own selfish greed. She didn’t have the decency to apologize to me and pretended like it was nothing. And once that happened, she basically ruined my whole entire day one experience. I left early that day because my back and ankle hurt so bad that I couldn’t keep standing. I have her face forever ingrained into my head. But I hope she knows how poorly she acted and reflects on how she behaved and how Chen (she’s a CHEN FAN. AND IT WAS CHANYEOL WHO THREW THE BALL---LIKE C’MON MANNNN) would never approve of her if he saw what she did to me.
Other performances I enjoyed---Transformer. I screamed so loud over this. I’ve always enjoyed this song and to see a choreography for it was a dream come true. I haven’t watched the mama perf yet (but i heard they performed this??? am i wrong? LOL) but it’s so epic. I loved the sequences of when they were “TRANSFORMING” LOL 같이해. THE RAPPERS. UNNNNFFFF. I LOVEDDDDD THISSSS. I can’t wait for its release. it’s a new song and I am just so //hearts eyes// over it. And of course Angel as the last song. I like Angel (although I prefer the mandarin version over the korean version) but my dream is to hear Promise live. I hope one of these days I can see them perform Promise T___T.
Other key items that killed me on day 2:
I hated it when Baekhyun came around because his smile equates to death. Like I don’t need to see that happiness. Please leave my heart alone.
PCY waved to me and I wanted to hurl my life away
I gave Yixing a finger heart and HE RETURNED THE HEART AND I WANTED TO DIE.
I basically got ignored by Sehun because he’s honestly so aloof with his fans. LOL. he’s the worstttttt.
People who I got to meet:
@odultoy Thank you so much for taking me around Shibuya to find everything exo-related. I dearly miss you already and hope you enjoy Kyocera Dome. I had so much fun the two days in Tokyo with you and hopefully we can do it again soon. (Also that udon. I still dream of it) Also, thank you thank thank tthannakanaka youuuu for helping me trade that Baekhyun hat key chain for the Sehun one. You have completed my trifecta and I can’t thank you enough <3 (also HUGE thanks for SILVER HUN. I haven’t put it up yet because I need to subtly put them up in inconspicuous places so my husband doesn’t notice haha and ALSO FOR THE NANA NYLON MAGGGG)
@causekpop YOU. LADY. ARE THE BEST. Thank you so much for protecting me the second day of concert. I had so much fun meeting you and cheering you and PCY ON. AND YESSSS. HE RETURNED YOUR LOVE AND IT WAS AMAZING. You truly made second day of concert so much fun and I’m so glad I got to sit next to you and see you melt over PCY. Wish we could’ve hung out more but there’s always next time!
@thesammtimes SAMM! I loved meeting you and your son. I hope he enjoyed all the Kai merch I kept getting hahaha. Thank you so much for a great experience in japan and for helping me and jinny get out of con the second day. wish i could’ve went out drinking with you if it wasn’t for the shinkansen i had to get on at 6AM the next morning. let me know when you’re back in the dc area and we can go to kogiya!!! <3
@exo-one-shots ADMIN T.POT I couldn’t say goodbye to you but OMG. You made such an impression and I can honestly say you are such a lovely person. I can’t believe the global package was made up of so many tumblr writers. I love your personality and energy and I couldn’t help but look at you every time Baekhyun was around. Your love for him is so amusing and you just made me love him even more. If they have an encore concert in Korea next year---I hope I get to see you again and scream for Baek some more. I can honestly say---you have made me a bigger Byun (tae) fan <3
@pearlsandamber MARIKO! I wish I could’ve spent more time talking with you! You are such a lovely person and I’m so happy to have met you. I’m so sorry if I was terribly awkward to converse with T___T Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help with writing? I hope some of my advice helped and I’m sorry if it didn’t. Ty ty ty for all the lovely gifts you gave me! I can’t wait to use them but I’m afraid I won’t because I hate messing up cute stationary. LIKE NOOOOO T___T
And I shall conclude my fan account here. All in all, SEE EXO IN CONCERT. <3
