A thread of my Music Bank experience with BTS, MAMAMOO, Red Velvet, CNBlue, SHINee (+ loads of GIFs)

BEFORE I BEGIN LET ME WARN YOU, THIS POST IS HEAVY ON MEDIA AND VERY LENGTHY SO IF YOU STILL WANNA GO THROUGH WHAT I EXPERIENCED, PLEASE PROCEED TO SCROLL :)

 

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

Goodness it’s been like more than 2 months since my Music Bank event and only now have I started writing about it hahahah but it can’t been helped I was so busy??? This blogpost is going to be heavily spammed with media so bear with me aye! It took me ages to cut and crop these gifs im really queen of procrastination.

 

A background: The tickets were much harder to achieve than Exo'r'dium lol.

Well cut to the chase, when I arrived at the venue the place was literally swarmed with ARMYS. Yes, you guessed it! Other acts included Red Velvet, SHINee, MAMAMOO, CNBlue and Park Bo Gum as the emcee but almost 96% of the fans there came for BTS (including me). I'm kinda happy because I really did wanted to see BTS in person since they're next to EXO in terms of my favourite, but also I kinda feel bad for the other group stans though, there weren’t much fansupport there :c Oh yeah, BTS has quite a young demographic so I kinda felt out of place there.. I’m not that old though, I’m only 21 and yet I seem to be the eldest there since mostly were still students in uniform who rushed down from school hahhaa.

So anyway, let’s get started! I’m basically penning this down to share with you guys my experience and also make this as a memory of a special day I want to always remember when I look back in future heheh.

 


Some of the freebies I got from the fansupport! Shoutout to them!

<3

The concert venue was just nice in my opinion. Unlike individual groups’ concerts like GOT7 and EXO the one I’ve been to, this was spacious and less strict. Although it was quite a distance from the stage, the security didn’t actually forbid us to record. I could actually videotape them with my phone freely, much to my surprise. How awesome right?! I guess it’s because there were a lot of artistes there. I even memorized the setlist of 20 songs since I’m not an avid listener of some groups.

When the screen came to light and showed that Singapore was the first Asia venue for this MuBank tour, no words could describe how proud I was! Then the artistes came lining up and omg, they sparkled. LITERALLY.

BTS’ outfits reminded me of their Fire era! Handsome!

CNBlue looks dashing!

I was super emotional because all 5 groups were actually singing some of our traditional songs in Malay language!! Props for effort.

 

First up was MAMAMOO!

I love their choreo for Decalcomanie!! Hwasa looks super y here with that indigo corset ahhahaha

You are the best! Solar is just radiating beauty with her sleek pastel pink hair

Solar and Wheein harmonizing Um Oh Ah Yeah, their serenade was sweet!

MoonSun OTP hahaa (if I got it right)

Taehyung ft Bogum bromance ;_;

More precious moments (oh my hearteu)

 

NEXT WAS RED VELVET’S TURN!!! I came with a guy friend and his ultimate fave was Red Velvet so I’m pretty sure he was jamming to their latest hit Red Flavour live (lol we got separated in the concert LMAO)

Yall give me credits I’m actually remembering the song title chronologically by just 5 secs of this choreo routine hahahaha

PA PA PAI GA MAN HAHAHAHA I REALLY LOVE SINGING THIS CHORUS LINE

Yes everyone is fkin beautiful okay Red Velvet aka Red Visuals but the one that stunned me most is Yeri her looks are super ethereal with that blonde hair cant believe she's younger than me

ReVeluvs you already know what’s this

Hint: PRODUCED BY THE COLLEAGUES TAKE ONE

Just my bae Joy turning around gracefully like a ballerina

LOOKIE LOOKIE

Shoot me Irene

RUSSIAN ROULETTE

National Vocalist Son Wendy

Yup, it’s Korea’s national anthem dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

 

Next was a special segment where 3 idols sang covers of some of the most popular OSTs from Descendants of the Sun and Moonlight drawn by the clouds (hahaha it’s unique and funny cos Park Bogum the leading actor was present lolol)

This was Onew singing You are my everything by Davichi

Grr just look at how charming Jonghyun is while singing and looking directly @ Wheein girl, I would have DISSOLVED

 

CNBLUE WAS NEXT OK THE ONLY BAND AT MUSIC BANK 2K17

I’m sorry but I only got their latest song “Between Us” (which I really liked!) right and predicted the other 3 wrongly so I didn’t know how to jam to their song but still it was kinda cool XD

Can’t believe I’m actually seeing my childhood crush live?? Anyone remembers him with Park Shin Hye from You’re Beautiful?

Just love how witty Yonghwa was he literally annoyed all his band mates with hollering into the mic and Jungshin was the first victim hahaha

My bb Jonghyun was so smiley all the time

Poor Minhyuk since he was sitting way behind at the drums I couldn’t catch a clear glimpse of him :(

Yonghwa’s energy is unrivalled someone give this guy a medal

I’ve only started to really like Jonghyun after watching him acting as a vampire in the drama Orange Marmalade URGHH what a pity I should’ve done that before attending MuBank, urgh I always have post-concert rregrets

Yall I could feel the HEAT from where I was standing… can you imagine how hot the fire must have felt to the idols just before it?? I can’t imagine it.

 

After the 3 groups had performed, Music Bank actually showed a video recording of their artistes who performed on that day’s stage to give a commemorative birthday wish for MuBank’s 10th birthday and being an exol trash I was already excited cos I know EXO was promoting Ko Ko Bop on the same day loool lowkey fangirl in the inside already hehhee

First we had HIGHLIGHT

Then Apink

JJ PROJECT… I JUST HAD A FEELING EXO WOULD TURN UP NEXT

AND BTCH I WAS RIGHT TO SAY I WAS SHOOKT WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT LMAOOOO I guess me and EXO really share some sort of affinity that I would be able to see them even if they weren’t part of my MuBank lineup LMAO

Super Junior too! Wow a legend

The best part about these video birthday wishes were the fact that they included “Singapore” in their speech acknowledging our island’s existence thank you<3 So do come back here next time kays *wink

Following the video was a special collaboration by Hwasa and Seulgi the hottest icons performing Bang Bang by Nicki Minaj, Jessi J and Ariana Grande. LIT RIGHT?! I literally melted, I mean for the guys furthermore, R I P

Look at how Seulgi was killing it!! I’m totally head over heels! Girl crush to the maximum

I barely survived thank you to whoever thought of this fantastic duo

(Insert EXO’s Go Go Going Crazy.mp3)

For a moment I thought this was Jimin but it’s actually Taemin dancing ballet hahaha, this insertion was kinda random but aesthetic xD

Wendy singing one of our local songs :-) She sounds like an angel.

Got to hand it to Solar and Yonghwa for tackling this JJ Lin (I assumed) chinese song. It actually sounded good and I fell in love with the song too eventhough I’ve never hear it b4 lol

 

THE MOMENT WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR….. BANGTAN SONYEONDAN!!!

They kickstarted with Spring Day and goodness me why does it have to be emotional and so majestic?!?!?!

P/s: I’ve only watched this live once so the stage was kinda fresh to me

Look at Jimin!! Doesn’t he have any bones??? Swirling effortlessly…

BTCH THE ULTIMATE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT ONE OF MY DREAMS WAS TO WATCH THAT Y BLOOD SWEAT TEARS DANCE LIVE BEFORE MY EYES AND MY WISH WAS GRANTED EARLYYYYYY I MEAN EVERYONE REMEMBERS THAT SENSUAL MV RIGHT?? HA HA

PEACHES AND CREAM SWEETER THAN SWEET CHOCOLATE CHEEKS CHOCOLATE WINGS

yas WERK IT BOIS MY FAVE PART OF THE CHOREO touch here and there TBH I ALWAYS DO THIS AT HOME COS IT’S THE ONLY MOVE IM CAPABLE OF LOL

manhi manhi, manhi manhiIIIIiiiii....

In that actual MV Suga was seen imitating that wine drinking scene… clink clink he did it with swag in that cap and tshirt lol

hobi my hope, my angel –afi 2k17

emo background, and jungkook chill with that spin, he really didn't have to go that hard lmao

THEIR INTRO!! Bang- *shoot* TAN!

I swear Jin is so damn extra…. flirting all day long but he's kinda my bias in BTS

I’m actually most touched and impressed by BTS’ setlist because each group was supposed to perform four songs but BTS performed a short snippet of ALMOST EVERY SONG IN THEIR DISCOGRAPHY. This means that they performed their older classic songs Danger, Boy In Luv, Dope, Run apart from Spring Day, Not Today, Blood Sweat Tears and Fire. See?? It was a whopping 9 songs!! Like it's such an honour considering this isn’t their solo concert anyway. It didn’t matter to me if they weren’t full length but at least I got to hear each of them :”) It was really colourful and content for me. And it was even a remix version which wasn’t their usual studio version. Thank you BTS!

This was Boy in Luv

The iconic Jhope rap HAKUNA MATATA OHHH

This chivalry move made me fall for BTS at the start!! Idk bout you but I found it extremely attractive and charismatic especially the part they covered their mouth lmao i just have a thing with people covering their lips ok #hot hey everyone has their

I’m not a fan of BTS’ maknae line but I gotta admit.. JiKook otp was flaming hot here…. Nosebleed

AGU STD

I think this was Danger… judging by the choreography.

Glad to see the rappers having fun ^_^

Love how Jin is giving his everything 200% to sing even as the lead vocalist <3 #respect

Look a them headbanging… someone collect them

(SWEATS nervously)

Oh right did I mention how irritated I was with Jungkook’s cap for blocking his face this was the only moment that I could see his handsome features lol. He looks hot tho cover in sweat lmao now I know why yall r crazy over the maknae

I seriously hate his playboy antics… blowing kisses?!?!! In this 21st century?! (gladly takes it anyway)

(ahhh my hope… my angel…. Part 2)

(This move is similar to BAPSAE don’t you think so?)

They performed Fire last, the song with BULTORANAEEE lol

Everybodeh say LA LA LA LA LA~ – Jimin 2k16

Hands down everyone’s favourite iconic crazy feet shuffling part

Bow wow wow….. smooth

ENOUGH WITH BTS! XD (sorry about this biasness)

 

It’s SHINee’s turn next. Last but not the least, ofc. I also only knew two songs from their overall performance cos I predicted the other 2 wrongly lmao. I forgot if they performed Married to the music or nah.

A pity Min Ho couldn’t make it L I really wanted to see how handsome he was in real life!! Damn my horrid luck just when I thought I could see OT5

Down down view

I wonder if Key felt scorching under that denim?? Lolll bad choice of clothing for a tropical country here

TAEMIN OPPA

HANDSOME PAIR… (honestly, lost track of the number of times I’ve repeated this word lol)

Who do you think you are… ‘running round leaving scars…. Mr Jonghyun-ssi…

Yea go on flinging roses like how you threw away my heart

From their latest MV 1 of 1!!

 

The ending confetti was so glittering gorgeous. It sparked a lot of overwhelming emotions running in me at that time.

Byebye Music Bank 3

The Bogum x Irene sailing ship… when will we get to see them on the same stage emceeing again T_T

I’ll really miss you guys..

#sadfarewells

Don’t bid goodbye so happily like that :--(

Looks like my bias wrecker couldn’t wait to end the show >.<

Wild Seulgi appeared

 

AND IT WAS OVER…………..

 

..

..

..

 

SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! YOU THOUGHT WRONG LOLLLL

 

RIGHT AFTER THEY LEFT THE STAGE THE SCREEN SHOWED “DO YOU WANT AN ENCORE AND EVERYONE WAS BEWILDERED LIKE WHAT’S HAPPENING AND SUDDENLY ONE BY ONE THE GROUPS CAME BACK TO PERFORM ONE MORE FINAL SONG!! I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK LMAO.

RED VELVET PERFORMED ICE CREAM CAKE (I JUST KNEW THIS WOULD COME UP SEEING AS TO HOW IMMENSELY POPULAR IT WAS, BTS PERFORMED DOPE, MAMAMOO WITH PIANO MAN WHICH I JUST DISCOVERED (SOUNDS LIKE SUJU'S U FOR SOME REASON??) AND THE OTHER 2 GROUPS IDK THEIR SONGS LOL T-T

It was a really, really spectacular present for Singaporean fans. Guess this is what they would call, a pleasant surprise?

At the end of everything, all groups were throwing balls with their own autographs to the audience. Of course me being with a not-so-lucky luck could only stand to watch.

Dear Jeon, are you trying to play hard to get or what?

Grown men.. getting amazed with shreds of papers..

(Calm down goofy xD)

O M G if they did that 'do you want an encore' thing to me I would legit be screaming my head off. You are so lucky to see all these people in real life! What was the actual being in the audience like that tho, did you get pushed around a lot? I hope nobody got hurt ... But I would actually be screaming my head off for Bangtan I'm getting emotional because of a blog post wow hahaha
