GOT7 Concert!

So I got to see GOT7 on July 3rd! Figured it was time to post a blog about the experience :D I want to share the experience and let you guys know what it was like (: I will be going out of order a bit for things that happened just because...well I can ^_^ And I can clump some things together :P


 

I went with my beta, sister, and friend and we arrived at our venue at 4:00pm but the doors did not open until 6:00pm (which was originally supposed to be 6:30pm). Now let me just say...it was HOT outside...especially standing there in a black shirt! But it was well worth it because we were not too terribly far back in the line compared to how long it ended up getting! We received a normal paper banner for the concert and a heart with our bias’s name (in my case Jackson) on it ^_^ But the best part about waiting outside...someone had come...from South Korea...with THE OFFICIAL LIGHTSTICK! I was able to purchase an official GOT7 lightstick for the show :D I was so fricken happen and it was worth the $40! (My sister later pointed out that these were made in Korea...they have Korean air in them...I had a mini spaz lmfao! It is the closest I will get to Korea.)

 

They were also handing out heart shaped balloons that we could blow up. All I can say is that I have never heard so many balloons pop in my entire life xD They were popping left and right! But some people were lucky to not have them pop and some even stuck smaller lightsticks inside of them to make them glow!


 

When we got into the venue they quickly got us in and we went upstairs (because we were sitting in the center back of the balcony...which were amazing seats to see everything!) and waited in line to get let in. This is when we found out just how bright our lightsticks were. Let me just tell you...if you ever get the lightstick...do not stare into it and then turn it on xD I made that mistake and felt blinded for a couple of seconds. (B: Don’t forget about seizure mode!) aahhh yes...it had three modes...one which it was just a solid light...a slightly flashing one...and then one that we called seizure mode because it blinked soooooo fast!

 

The doors opened into the area at about 6:30pm so we were able to relax for an hour before the concert began. We met three nice people who were sitting in front of us, one of them took our picture, and one of us took theirs (which I tried to dodge out of and failed miserably with my beta hahaa!). I guess there were also people behind us who saw the lightsticks we had and were jealous...pays to wait in line early! While we were waiting for the show to start, there was a big screen with their GOT7 symbol from their Identify album cover. Well...the screen decided to die! Once that happened everyone gasped and groaned because what could be worse than the screen dying before the show even starts. Thankfully, ten or so minutes later it came back to life. Everyone cheered like GOT7 had just walked onto the stage and we were joking about how, “Oh! The screen is back! That’s what I came here to see. Guess we can go now!” and “They must be back there wondering why we are screaming all of the sudden like this!” (B: It died during the show once too, right?) Ah yes! Half of the screen died for a part of one of their songs, but it was quickly fixed. We all felt bad though when they were dancing and turned around towards the screen when it was only partially working :( But they kept going ^_^ (B: It’ didn’t stop on a derp face at least!) That would have been GREAT! xD


 

** Now...onto what happened at the concert :D

 

There were about three different times when different members asked Youngjae how he was feeling. For those of you who may not know, Youngjae was sick and unable to perform in Dallas a few days before, so we had no idea if he was going to be performing for us. We were all happy he was there and he voiced that while he was not feeling completely better he was going to do his best. After the first time they took time to talk to us Youngjae went over to the side of the stage and we thought maybe he was going to take a break or something, but he came back. Each time he was asked how he was feeling he would say he felt good, and each time we would chant his name, letting him know we supported him for trying so hard even though he did not feel completely better. By the end of the concert, everyone could tell he was looking pale and not in the best of conditions, but he said it was because of us that he was able to perform.

 

Of course there were times when they were talking to us when Jackson, Mark, and Bambam (but I feel like mainly Jackson) (B: Nah, Bambam was being a little too ;) ) picked on the other members who were not as fluent in english :P They all had fun with it though so it was all good ^_^

 

Now...there was a part that made me (and everyone else) laugh sooooo hard! Jackson was talking about how all of us only need GOT7. We do not need anyone else. So we are all cheering and agreeing with him. He then asks us who has a boyfriend in the audience. The people who do raised their hands and then he looks at all of us, and said in a serious voice, “The exit is over there! Get out!” That made the whole place erupted in laughter because he was being so serious about all of us only ever needing GOT7 xD This is a reason this little ball of fun is my bias! He is fantastic hahaa!

 

** Onto the...y...can I call them y...parts. You will see ^_^

 

So during the course of the show, both Mark and Junior turned their butts towards us and shook them :D (B: Whoo~! <3) I believe Mark was the first to shake his , and Junior was the one to smack it (; (B: XD) Then when Junior turned and shook his later...Jackson might have been the one to smack it (I am not certain...it all happened so fast hahaa). But the other y part...Bambam was told to do some hip s...so...he got on the floor...raised himself on with his feet and one hand on the floor...started ing his hips...and grabbed onto his crotch xD EVERYONE lost it when he did that. The other members then started yelling at him and he said to us, “You are only allowed to dream of that if you are !” Well...I’M OVER 20 SO I’M GOOD! xD But other than those instances there were just a lot of hip s and body rolls in general...which are always y from them ;P

 

There were three mini performances during the show as well, and each were perfect ^_^ JB and Younger first performed 1:31. Then Mark and Junior performed Higher. Last up was Jackson, Bambam, and Yugyeom who performed WOLO. They all had so much fun with them and they were so great to see (:

 

At the end of the show, when Bambam had time to talk he told us about how he is going to stop listening to the haters who tell him to stop dabbing. We all cheered for him when he said that. He said he had gotten a lot of hate for his dabbing and people are constantly telling him he needs to stop. But that he does not need to haters, he needs the IGOT7s who will support him and dab with him. Then we all proceeded to dab with him because...why the heck not!? :D I will dab with you forever Bambam!

 

When they went off stage, claiming that the concert was over, of course we all stayed and called for them to come back out :P Because we all knew they just had to! Now...their concert started at 7:30pm and they said they were done around 9:30pm. For them to come back to the stage they had a dance roulette game set up for us! :D On the large screen were animated versions of the members and they would spin the wheel, the camera would pan out through the crowd and select random groups of people, and then the wheel would spin and land on a song! Then, a part of the mv or dance practice would play, the audience would get one practice turn, and then we would dance it for real. Having everyone attempt to dance in the cramped space we had was hilarious, but it was so much fun dancing with them :D So...after three dance challenges THEY CAME BACK ON STAGE! Now...when you think of someone coming back on for an encore you think they will do one or two songs. NOT GOT7! OH NO! They did a lot more for us then just one or two songs after the wheel game! They spent an hour doing their encore! It was the best thing ever and they never ran out of energy!

 

During their first song for their encore, they went out into the crowd on the floor to the people who paid a LOT of money to see them. They were such lucky people to get to be that close to them...so, so, so, SO lucky! Bambam also took control of one of the big cameras on stage and was getting shots of everywhere! Even though I was in the balcony I could see where I was on the screen because of the bright lightstick I had :D Sure...no one knew it was me...but I knew hahaa!
