Hello guys!

I was at KCON in Paris the 2th of June two weeks ago and it was so great to have this opportunity! I never stop to dance and sing and shout all during the concert, it really worth my money! And I was so damn situated in the pit!

First of all, my friends and I queue up for the convention, as you know KCON has the convention during the day and the concert the evening, (shout out to my lovely friends who came at 6 a.m. to save a place for me who arrived some hours later), but unfortunately as expected not everyone could fit into the building, it's physically impossible. The first round of people go in whereas the doors closed really next to us, at nearly 20 persons, but you know that's how things are. We waited with people trying to see through out the fence idols arriving in mercedes vans in girly screams aish my ears! XD Well, the majority was highschool girls, I was feeling old x) A last second round of people could pass at 2 p.m., and then we had a dilemma to wait for the convention or to queue up for the concert to have a good rank in the pit. We choose the last option and fortunately a friend of my friend save good places and I've to thank them for the nice situation I had during the concert, I was three feet away from the second scene, I could see the artists really close! >o< We miss the convention which was beauty products, food (the staff was lovely, they hand out kind of grasy pastries to people outside the afternoon), revisited hanboks, Fabien was hosting and f(x) and BTS made a short appearence anwsering some questions from fans who were there. Fangirls consalted themselves seeing their Vapp in the concert queue (I admit I also watch it) x)) Two famous actors were also invited: Han Ji Min an Jin Goo.

The long awaited concert arrived, and you had to run if you want to keep your place when they open the successive gates, but as I said we were lucky. The concert started at 8 p.m. and it's was wonderful, BTS did the opening singing arirang and all of them come to say hello: FTIsland, Shinee, BTS, f(x), BlockB, IOI, such a beautiful lineup. BlockB started first, then IOI, acoustic solo of Hongki with Jonghoon on the guitar for a song from Leon soundtrack, Taemin solo with french movie La Boum, f(x) with Amber and Luna solos, BTS (the most waited here in France), Luna and Taeil (my fav! his high note ^o^) beautiful special stage, FT and Shinee. Everyone had about 4-5 songs each, the concert lasted 3 hours. Leeteuk was mcing and at one moment did an easy guessing kpop songs game where everybody sang, it was fun. There's no need to list you the songs played here, they'll be soon on youtube. In the end, everybody come up on the stage to say goodbye, they were all really cute.

I can share my personnal experience of this concert, it was my first kpop one and it worth the price knowing there several artists coming. First of all, what Leeteuk said was subtitled on the two giant screens (and everyone would thank those giant screens in concerts to able to see tiny singers), the problem was... we were so much near the stage that we cannot see the end of the screens and so the subtitles, I spend my concert not knowing what he was saying but that didn't really matter tho :p Also I cannot see them when they were on the first stage bc too near nose to the front second stage so thanks big screens! It was so cute when they were trying to speak french also, thank you for the effort! And when they were introducing themselves they often did in the second stage lucky I am to see them near and hear their voices!

For me, the group who made the biggest impression is FTIsland (Pray fav song forever), it's logical (world tours + ten years group) and I was waiting for them to set the stage on fire! What was funny is that  a lot of people was young fans and didn't really know them but we manage to sing along (I don't know all of their songs), what's cool is I heard a lot of people staed to be intrested in them because seeing them at Kcon. And Hongki knows how to interact with the crowd even if he can't speak englishx) he had so much energy, feel like flying haha, and he made a sprint on the big stage (it was big with a sort of catwalk). Jaejin and Seunghyun came to the front of us with their guitars one moment so cool! so fun!

The second group who knows to move the crowd is Shinee, another experienced group from many years, in another style, and even thay were only 4 (Jonghyun promoting in Korea) it's was perfect, they did their old hits which was a good surprise. Taemin was excited, flawless as usual it's unreal to see him, did a triple vrille haha and bless Onew's voice u_u. f(x) (without my love Victoria T_T) is also good in live, I think i find them better on live than on music shows dunno, Amber is really popular here and in western countries in general, more than Krystal who amused me with her antics, but the one who surprises me is Luna who since her solo seem more bright and beautiful, she did her new solo which I had eard one time and manage to sing ahahahah with the others x) now I like this song, keep replaying it.

BTS were good and made the crowd gone wild, they put so much energy in their difficult dances, somebody says I don't how they can dance dance with such tight pants on and I've to agree with that. They seem happy to be here but Taehyung looks tired to me (eye bags) and I saw Jin cringed several times maybe he was out of breath, they give their best really and danced well. I think they live a very tiring life (they go back to Korea the day after, they didn't have the time to see Paris much). I saw Suga, Rapmon and Jin closely, the one I didn't see much is Jimin always on the other side. J-Hope is all smile it's refreshing (thank you for the flag man!) and Jungkook kid has indeed big thighs tho o_o BTS is tiny I must say haha! IOI (even tinier) were good but too calm singing two ballads after the famous Pick me me up , they didn't do Dream Girls which is a shame. Somi couldn't perform because there's law in France that you need an autorization for young people under 16yo to work, the company didn't manage to have it in time, poor her. Chungha my newly fav of the group sang on Amber's solo (taehyeon's part) I was so proud! I like that girl. But since I was near the girls interected with us sending hearts, but I'm too shy to cross their eyes o^.^o BlockB was good and made people dance with their old hits Nalina and Very Good. Zico tried to made a rap about Paris when he joined Leeteuk at one moment but failed XD and at the end we could see shinee and f(x) friendship during goodbyes, with them dancing to 4 walls :)

Everything was so perfect! There's a difference to see artists in real life, you see some details you couldn't see like their skin (they're full of make up by the way), Luna's tighs' tanned skin (don't missunderstand me, when you're down what you see first from the the artists are their legs huh;p), ioi's skirt-shorts for example and they were all sweating very much haha, especially the boys. I could see Luna really closely, she danced in front of me practically! always in my memory aish- Also personal thougt, I thought people weren't dancing enough but i think it's bc the majority of them are young or maybe I'm too wild, and it was much calmer than other concerts I've been (hiphop) but it's a good point to not be pushed all the time. People cheered on every artists and screams didn't stop, so cool, I think they heard us well x) (sometimes it was screaming so much I couldn't hear the music x)), (amber was laughing at us and encouraging the noise) proud to be part of this great concert! >w< it seems so unreal I was there, like it was all a dream (but I think it's normal it's the definition of a show to create sthg out of reality) time spend so fast-

It was a beautiful collective experience to live when you got the opportinity, the luck to be able to pay and go to a kpop concert.

I think Kcon Paris is now broadcasting in live if you want, and Mnet videos will be up soon :D
