Personal fanaccount SS5 in London
Super Show 5. 09 november 2013. London.
This is my experience written down of SS5 in London. I’ve been an ELF for almost 3 years now and always wanted to attend a Super Show but because I live in Belgium it isn’t that easy to attend one. But this time, me and my girlfriend decided to take the risk that Paris might been cancelled and started booking a bustrip to London and bought our tickets for SS5 in London. We couldn’t believe that we were actually going to see the kings of KPOP. ‘till the day itself it all felt so unreal to me. I never ever looked so much forward to concert than to this one. But anyway I’m not here to talk about how I felt before we went to London but how the concert went. So here is my story: We left Belgium on the 7th of November late at night and arrived in London the 8th in the early morning. We stayed at a friend’s house and slept as much as we could (turned out that we only slept like 2 hours at her place). We decided to go to Wembley really early because since we got standing tickets we wanted to have frontrow. We left her house around 1 am to go to the bus stop because we had to take 4 busses to get to Wembley Park. We had a busdrive for almost 2 hours, arrived at 4 am and then we met up at the station with our two other Belgian friends. We walked to the venue and we saw already some fans sitting there. Immediately a girl came up to us and asked our names and gave us our numbers for the queue. We got numbers 35, 36, 37 & 38. We were really happy because I knew (bcs I went to wembley for Big Bang as well) that we would sure get frontrow. And then.. we only had to wait till 6.30 pm (14 hours waiting) in the freezing cold and rain. However the wait was not that boring. We got a lot of free stuff like fan’s, posters, banners, buttons, candy and more. It was so nice to see how ELF interacted with each other. Some of us slept a bit in the queue because we all had to wait a very long time till we could enter the venue. It was around noon that the van of Super Junior arrived at the Hilton hotel and ofcourse fans ran to the van to catch a glimp of the boys. Too bad I was too far in the front of the queue to actually see something, but hey.. I didn’t mind because in less than 7 hours we would get to see them performing live in front of us. Around 5 pm, when all the people started to get nervous about the concert and getting really excited.. We suddenly saw someone in the opening of the window waving at us. And yes, there was Donghae.. He was waving from the 6th floor in the Hilton Hotel which was right next to the south pen queue. However, he started to entertain us from his hotelroom and we all screamed “SUPER JUNIOR SARANGHAE!” to the hotel. It was so much fun and you really could feel that everybody was getting so excited for the concert. At 6.30 pm, it was finally happening. We could enter the venue where the magic would happen that night. We got wristbands earlier, so we just had to show our wristbands and get in the venue. I was so excited when I saw that there were spots left at the catwalk in the middle of it. And yes ofcourse, FRONTROW. My dream became reality, I would see Super Junior up close.. This was really happening. 8 pm. The concert started! I knew from the beginning that I would prob cry a lot because this concert really meant a lot to me and didn’t feel like a normal concert. I don’t even know why but it was that way and I couldn’t change anything about that. The lights turned out and the whole venue was filled with Sapphire Blue colors. I couldn’t help myself but crying because it looked so beautiful, powerful, united. I felt so happy deep inside , the intro started playing. It all started with mr. Simple and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw those 8 beautiful, gorgeous men on stage. They were perfect. Seriously perfect. They looked exactly like they looked on the pictures. We started the fanchants and I could see that everybody was so happy and had the times of their lives. The atmosphere was amazingly good and we all sung with them. After some songs and a few more teary moments it was the first MENT and they told us they were actually very tired because of the concert in Mexico two days before but that they really looked forward to performing in London for all the ELF. They promised us to give us an unforgettable show, and you know. . that’s what they exactly did. They made it unforgettable. I can’t remember everything about the concert anymore but what I do remember is the fact that I prob never cried and laughed so much at one single and the same concert. The VCR’s were most of the time super hilarious and I couldn’t stop laughing with Shindong because he seriously is one of the most funny people I’ve ever seen in real. Not only on the VCR but also during the concert he seriously made a lot of fun with the other members and always made us laugh. And then it was time for the ballads.. Something I didn’t look up online or didn’t watch fancams of. So I totally didn’t know what to expect and what was going to happen. But then the moment where I totally collapsed happened. Kyuhyun and Ryeowook stood alone on stage and my mind immediately screamed “omg.. there is no Yesung” Even before the song started I knew this was a KRY song and that I would totally cry when I didn’t hear Yesung’s voice. When they started it turned out to be one of the songs I love most of KRY “Gray Paper”. I almost fell through my knees when I saw the big empty spot in the middle of the stage, realizing Yesung should’ve stand there. It was such a hard moment and not only for me because when I looked around I saw everyone standing there with tears in their eyes. And then it happened.. When the song almost ended.. Yesung appeared on the VCR and everybody started to scream so loud and you litterly saw almost everyone crying in the crowed. It was such a special moment that I seriously will never forget. Along with Yesung on the VCR, Kyuhyun and Ryeowook sang with him. My heart just broke when I heard their voices crack because we were screaming so loud for Yesung. They must miss him as well. When the song ended the whole venue started shouting Yesung’s name. That was seriously the most beautiful moment of the whole concert. I realized I missed Yesung so much and that the army is just such a stupid thing in Korea because.. He should’ve been there. Just like Leeteuk, Zhoumi, Henry, Hangeng, Kibum and even Heechul should have been there. However they played my favorite ballad after that song; Daydream. And yeah, what can I say? I just cried the whole song I guess. It was a bit too much at once for me to take. But I felt so connected with Super Junior at that time. I was thankful that I had this special feeling inside. They played all the songs I wanted to hear live.. Super Girl, Daydream, Miracle, It’s you, .. The MENT were always so nice and sweet and tho their English is not awesomely good, they managed to really entertain us and interact with the whole crowed. I was really proud to hear how Donghae’s English really imporved, tho Siwon had to help him a lot with finding the right words to say something. They had a translator in the back of the venue to help them but they managed really well on their own tbh. A lot of stuff happened at the concert which I can’t remember clearly now. But the only thing I know is that the concert was absolutely amazing and I never cried so much. I actually didn’t know why I cried so much.. I just couldn’t stop and I felt really stupid but I couldn’t help it. Before the concert I actually didn’t really like the Sunny song but right now.. After the concert it became one of my favorite ones. They teached us a little dance that we all had to do during that song and latterly everybody was standing up in the venue and started doing the dance. I could see how their smiles were so bright when they saw that everybody was actually doing what they asked. We all danced with a big smile on our face and had so much fun. The atmosphere was so good and happy! One of the most awesome moments during the concert was ofcourse during ROCKSTAR. The whole venue turned into a party mood and we all jumped up and down together with the boys. I remember how Siwon took of his shirt and I could only stare with big eyes at his perfect body. Holyshit that man has one great body. Before I could well realize that my bias was half naked walking around, he stopped right in front of me and started dancing to rockstar. My mouth latterly fell open and I could only stare at him. Wow wow wow. Now I remember why you’re my bias hahahaha. However, not many minutes later Eunhyuk also took of his shirt and they repeated the chorus of rockstar like 6 times. It was an awesome party! The concert almost came to an end after Marry U and they all got to the front of the stage. They started to give their speeches. Tho I don’t really remember what they all said, I still remember what Donghae said and I guess I will never forget what he said because it came right out of his heart. You could feel it when he was talking.. Donghae actually managed to say everything he wanted in English. He told us this;
“Sometimes.. you’re my hero. Sometimes… you’re my girlfriend. You’re my sister. You’re my.. baby. Without you.. I could never see. Without you.. I could never hear. Without you.. I would never have happy tears in my eyes” I seriously couldn’t stop crying while he was telling these words in English to us. You could see the tears sparkling in his eyes. He was so sweet and teary eyed that I just totally teared up. Most of them were close to crying or really crying. Kyuhyun’s English isn’t good at all but he told us that he loves us and cracked down crying. He was just sitting there on the ground with his hands in front of his face crying. It was such a precious moment to see how intense the boys felt during the concert. They basically told us that this concert was one they really looked forward to and they felt really good performing. They felt home and safe with the fans. They remembered why they were still standing on stage performing. It was all so emotional and you could feel that their long speeches were actually a way to try to stay longer on stage with the fans. They didn’t want to leave.. I was crying so much after the speeches and I really felt like going home after the speeches because I was so tired and so emotional. But then suddenly Siwon came back on stage together with Kris and Suho.. This might maybe sound rude but the perfection of Super Junior and everything I had felt during the whole concert made me care so less about Kris and Suho. Tho I’m a huge exotic, I really didn’t care anymore about them. I just had eyes for Super Junior. I was happy to see them both, but for me.. It wasn’t needed to get them on stage. I only had eyes for my kings. The concert ended in tears and we left the venue and got home. On our way back my girlfriend slept on my lap and I was thinking back to the concert.. I was asking myself why they weren’t my biasgroup. Why I don’t stan Super Junior more than I do right now? They deserve to be my biasgroup and they deserve a lot more of my attention. I think .. that concert made me realize that they mean so much more to me than I thought they did. Super Show is really something you can’t compare to anything. It’s a concert that will make you scream, fall in love, cry, get crazy, go crazy, feel crazy but so happy. It something I can’t even explain. I’ve spend 3 hours with Super Junior and I still can’t believe it. They are, each one of them, so precious and beautiful in their own way.. But tho they are all so different they unite as one. And that’s what I felt too. I felt like they totally united with the fans. ELF & SUJU are ONE.
Because this was the first time I saw Super Junior on stage I want to write my first impressions of them, each one individual, down. Tho I met Eunhyuk before I’m also gonna write his down.
Siwon (my bias): The first thing I thought when I saw him on stage was that he actually looks way better in real than on picture. He is so manly and has beautiful longs legs. He is a dork, derp, idiot but I love him so much. Seeing him for the first time made me realize again why he’s my bias. Sungmin: He smiled so much through the whole concert and you could see that he was seriously having a good time on stage. His smile is something I’ll never forget. He’s so beautiful when he’s smiling. Like seriously, it made me feel warm inside. He is most of the time like in the pictures. He’s super pretty in pictures and super pretty in real. Kyuhyun: Often you found Kyuhyun standing all alone on the other side of the stage while the others were standing somewhere else. But still when he was standing there alone, he had fun. You could see him smiling by himself. He really seems to live in on his own little planet during Super Show. He is really pale in real but once you see his eyes shine.. You realize this boy is seriously amazing. I realized during the concert when looking at him.. that we almost lost this beautiful boy. I’m so happy we didn’t. This angel’s home is earth.. Super Show. With ELF. Donghae: Where to start with Donghae? We saw him like twice really close because he got off stage to spend some closer times with the fans. When I saw his face I thought “gosh this guy has a beautiful perfect milky white skin”. Like seriously, his skin is so perfect. Not only is that guy perfect but he’s so sweet and takes such good care of the fans. He even took some time to kiss a fanboys hand for quite a long time. I’m so amazed that he’s so friendly and sweet. Really .. Donghae is just one sweet boy. Ryeowook: I was so scared to see Ryeowook in real because I thought that he would totally become my bias but when I saw him, I was sure he wouldn’t. He’s just too perfect to be my bias. He’s so small and tiny and sweet and perfect looking. But can we take a minute to appreciate the beautiful gift that god gave him: HIS VOICE. Seriously, he got some singing skills. His voice really cuts through your heart when he’s catching those high notes. He’s so talented and still so beautiful. He is really lucky to be that perfect. Eunhyuk: Tho I saw him once in real and I really can’t believe Hyukjae and Eunhyuk are the same persons.. Eunhyuk is really a partyanimal. During Rockstar he was totally going crazy and jumping up and down and he looked like he was having the time of his life. He’s so beautiful and handsome. He is manly and feminine at the same time. Oh and his dancing skills. Dear god, that boy can dance. Shindong: Right away, this boy is the funniest ever. He came up to the stage when Kyuhyun was having his solo and totally made it so funny prob just by being himself. He is able to entertain everyone without it looking like it’s forced or something. He’s just so natural and isn’t scared to show who he really is. I’m happy that I got to see him this Super Show and I’m gonna miss his jokes on SS6. Kangin: Well hello, this boy is seriously so good looking and has a beautiful body as well. He is so much better looking in real than on pictures. Really, I was so amazed seeing him live for the first time. He is so so so so goodlooking, still can’t get over him and his voice is so beautiful. The army seriously did a good thing to his image. He became more manly and strong. Anyway, this is such a long list with what happened and stuff and I could go on for some more hours and write like 39729898 more pages about how I felt during this awesome Super Show but I’m gonna stop and leave it till here. I just hope that all of you can experience a concert like this as well because it’s so beautiful and you really feel special inside. It was just 100% perfect. Thank you Super Junior, thank you ELF, thank you London. I’ll never forget this day. 09.11.2013
