Infinite OGS San Jose

Before too much time goes on and I forget... here is a review of the amazingness that was the Infinite OGS Concernt in San Jose!! It includes a few key connections with the idol members XD so if you want to skip to the nitty-gritty, scroll down and watch for the colors!

 

The Beginning

-To be honest, I was super nervous to be going alone. But I quickly found how awesome it was to 1) be able to fangirl without worrying what my non-Infinite-fan friends would think, and 2) to be in an auditorium full of people as Infinite-crazy as I was.

-I was in tiered seating, off the Infinite's left. It was a little uncomfortable (not hard, but not ideal) to watch the idols on the main stage at such a diagonal, but the stage was set up with a small walkway to a middle mini-stage, and when they went there, I was literally right in front of them, on eye level with them too. It made for some great eye contact.

-I tried to look good, and I picked an all black outfit. I think you might be able to guess what that meant (*hint hint* who in Infinite adores black?) Otherwise, I was plain. I don't own paraphrenelia. The most I did was paint my nails with hangul and the Infinite symbols.

 

My thoughts on the members

-Sunggyu: poor leader seemed so tired at first! Opening song was Destiny, and he seemed to only do the moves in order to stay in sync with the others. No real gusto or energy. I was so worried :/  the poor man must be so exhausted. Even though he is my bias, I couldn't watch him for too long at first. I felt too sad.

-Woohyun: introduced himself as the hearteu machine. He was SO into fan service. Exactly like how he is all the time-- joking around, laughing, flirting with the crowd, stealing cameras and taking selcas. That cutey.

-Dongwoo: my surprise second-favorite. At first, he didn't stand out too much. Then, at the halfway point, he started really being Dongwoo, dancing all snake-like and crazy and ing and making faces. It was enough to make leader laugh and smile, and for that, I was really glad. Sunggyu really seemed to enjoy himself more in the 2nd half, because of Dongwoo.

-Hoya: this boy loves the spotlight. He had super long intros and good-byes. His engrish was adorable, and he was all-around a great performer/singer/dancer/jokester. You could tell how driven he was to be successful, just by his performance.

-Sungyeol: lost his tan!! Haha. And to be honest, I never really realized how good-looking this choding is. I subconsciously always compare him to the other members. But when he walked the aisle and I got a real good look at him, I saw that I would easily check him out if I met him on the street.

-Sungjong: the quiet and unassuming maknae. He was so sweet, always letting the boys soak up the spotlight. What was really cute was this one part: after everyone's solos/duos, Woohyun started a small applause-war, and each member would fight for applause by re-singing some of their parts. Sungjong stayed quiet, until Hoya was like "Go, Sungjong, do your song." And like a great hyung, Hoya let Sungjong sing! It was so precious, I swooned.

-Myungsoo: my surprise favorite :)  I think I re-fell in love with him. Read why below! In general, his dancing was spot-on and his parts were good. Everyone about died when he sang "Love You Like You."

 

Drumroll please... My Precious Moments!!

Myungsoo <3 <3 <3

I MADE EYE CONTACT TWICE!! He saw me twice!! Here's how:

1) He took the center stage, staring into the crowd on my side. Keep in mind, I was wearing all black, and he was perfectly on eye-level and right in front of me. During a pause in the choreography, I thought he was looking at me, but to be sure, I gestured obviously like I was blowing kisses at him. And you know what he did? He smirked! That crooked cool-guy smirk. I died.

2) Later on, the members threw stuffed animals into the audience. Myungsoo threw one in my general direction, but it wound far right. Then, he threw another one, and I CAUGHT IT! Right from his hand! It's a cute little red bear, and hung in the air like slow motion. After I caught it, I looked up and met his eye again.

Yeeeeeeeeee I think I love Myungsoo again. Just for this <3 <3

 

Dongwoo <3

I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH THIS FOOL TOO!!

1) He was center stage, and I was lost in the music when our eyes met. The reason we locked eyes? I realized I was doing the lamest most off-beat two-step ever. And he saw it too! Because he started reciprocating it, in a weird snake-like shoulder-y move, and I started laughing and I was so embarrassed but I was glad he thought it was funny too.

2) At the end, when they were saying good-byes, I was trying sooooo hard to get Sunggyu's attention. I'm not sure if I did... I was waving like crazy and Sunggyu gave a small wave in my general direction. And then, Dongwoo freaking leans in like Michael Jackson, one eyebrow raised. Then he does this weird shoulder-pop motion, and it was so goofy that I start laughing! And it makes him laugh too! Then he points at me, and I blow him kisses and he raises his hand in a kind of 'Hwaiting' motion, but instead of a fist, it was a C-shape and he moved his lips like he was saying 'Cool'. I don't know what that meant. I'm going to pretend he was catching my kisses.

3) I went to the bathroom after the concert and ran right into him!! ... Just kidding. This didn't happen. But I so wish it did. Fanfic fodder maybe?

 

Sunggyu

My bias was so hard to make eye contact with! There was a possible moment when he gave a small wave during the goodbye... but if that doesn't count, I definitely made eye contact after the concert. I joined a group of other fangirls and we waited at the back driveway until the members' vans drove out. Sunggyu was shotgun in the first van, window down and waving. I stood down the lane, right before they turned into the street, so the crowd was significantly less dense. There was probably only a handful of people there (the crowd was waiting at the mouth of the driveway), and we each had enough room between us. So this one is for sure: When he passed, I called his name, and he looked right at me! And he gave a small wave, and now I could die knowing that Sunggyu has seen my face.

Woohyun

This man was also hard to make eye contact with. But he was riding shotgun in the second van that left, and I called out to him too, and he looked at me. That's it. I wish there was more.

 

So all in all, the event was a bangin' 10 out of 10, and I can retire a satisfied Inspirit because I made significant eye contact with four of the members. I just wish I got a chance to tell them how thankful I was to them. But for now, fingers crossed I stay in their memory as the girl in all black blowing kisses :*
