Unlike the last TVXQ concert, we could all relax our pace this time because our tickets were numbered seats. When we were inside the indoor stadium, surprisingly, the distance was very much nearer than we have expected. Should I describe the stadium as one with close and cosy atmosphere? By and by, the empty seats got filled up with sapphire blue colour glowing sticks and by then, we just couldn’t wait for the concert to get started. The event planner sort of invited two local singers to heat up the atmosphere. Don’t mind me for saying this: who are they for us to care for? By the way, do the boys need someone to warm up for them? Well… obviously, it’s just for publicity and promotion purpose.
When the lights went off, the crowd went screaming on top of their throats, the boys appeared before our eyes with those fine-leather-black jackets, anyone would go nuts. As the fans were all aware of, Super Junior is currently working as a ten members group and damn~ something came into my mind: where the hell did they find these ten fine, handsome talented young guys? Finally and yes finally, for all those hardships I have been through to get those tickets, it’s worth it all. They were so thin (except for Shindong oppa of course^^) or that the word ‘skinny’ would be more appropriate.
Yesung oppa definitely lost a lot of weight and I can really tell by his face and arms. For the first few songs, he seemed so tired and wasn’t jumping and fooling around like the other members. He even walked so slowly and sometimes bent over to rest on his knees. It was obvious something was wrong. At one point, Kyuhyun oppa even went up to check on him. He was obviously not in a good condition. He definitely looked sick and tired. A lot of questions popped out of my mind then: Is he sick? Will he get to continue the concert? Will he pass out on stage? I just quietly prayed, telling God to bless this guy, this guy that I was looking at right there, crossing my fingers tight. Luckily, he kind of redeemed himself halfway through the concert and was able to continue with a smile on his face. That was their own show and despite the fact that Yesung oppa was not in his best condition, I do hope he still enjoyed the night in that show of their own. I hope he did see the cardboard I made with his name on it. ^^a 예성오빠, 아프로 아플지말고 건강해요~
Kyuhyun oppa and Donghae oppa had new hairstyles. What was surprise to me was that those who used to be skinny and short turned out to be quite buff. Both Donghae and Eunhyuk oppa have defined muscles as well as the skinny leader, leetuek oppa. Of course not to forget, the living state of art – Siwon oppa. His body… his abs… his everything. *drools* Throughout the whole concert, they were like a bunch of kids playing on their own playground, having fun on their own stage. Switching their modes from playful, funny to serious, charismatic. Most of them performed their own solo stage and some had collaboration stage between members. Donghae oppa paired up with his all time partner, Eunhyuk oppa. What a ‘Eunhae’ couple proof~ The myeolchi and the fishy~LOL. Henry and ZhouMi, the two additional member of Super Junior-M present as the guest, together with the other members. That was during when the music of ‘Super Girl’ echoed the stadium, the fans went screaming with high spirits. Another climax was the highly anticipated ‘Sorry Sorry’. That was the song that made the name of Super Junior well known to not only Asia, but the whole wide world. How many times we have seen the performance on YouTube but that last performance we really saw with our eyes, that was the real deal. The crowd went nuts when Siwon oppa unbuttoned his shirt. Kyuhyun oppa was the one that came to our side of the stage the most. He took time waving and wandering in front of us. The leader even posed for the fans’ camera. A lot of the rock zone fans surely were so lucky to get to hold their hands.
When it was time to sing ‘Shining Stars’, all the fans took out white colour tiny lights, pointed them to the sky and that made as if the boys were surrounded by shining stars. Sitting right in the middle of the stage, there goes the leader, touched to tears starring into the thousands of stars. Wasn’t that what the fans wanted? To give a memorable and touching moment to the boys.
There was one time when the screen projected their pasts, from being the newbies going through auditions, until now when they have received tons of awards. There I saw Kangin oppa, who was absent from this concert, and Hankyung oppa, who would not probably be back again. I know I might sound silly, but I really cried watching it. From the moment I stepped into the stadium, there’s was already this huge surge of emotions running through my heart, thinking that I can finally really see them. At that point of time, those emotions kind of explode and I just feel so touched that they have reached this stage of their lives. With regards to their disputes lately, they taught me something. Nothing ever last forever, but memories last forever. The ever so famous ‘Sorry Sorry’ can no longer be performed with the same amount of people and with the same kind of energy. Everything will never be the same. One moment, they were still in the midst of happy receiving awards, the next you know, one of their best brothers decided to leave them. But through all those hardships, the remaining members remained loyal to the group, Super Junior and that no matter how long they stay, I pray to God for their best.
