FINAL EDIT: 11:55PM! I added a few more photos and gifs~~

Hello! Ana here.

If you’ve followed my few previous blogs, you will learn that I was going to attend Planet #3, EXO’r’DIUM in Singapore which happens to coincide with my one-year anniversary on AFF.

Guess what? It’s the best present EVER.

This [super lengthy] blogpost will consist of a normal 20-year-old female rambling in sheer delight, weeping over post-concert depression, recounting vivid hyperventilating details, spazzing over pheromones, still in denial in getting to meet 9 utterly handsome demigods and much, much more. The concert was beyond spectacular and the after effect is, you’ll be drained as hell. I slept for 2 days straight, or maybe it’s just my lazy .

Disclaimer: Before I start, there’s going to be a truckload of media that I took myself through blood, sweat and tears (no pun intended) amidst the crowd of other crazy fangirls like yours truly. I know some people really want to see EXO in real life, some not having that golden opportunity (yet) and these GIFs may not be much but I hope you’ll be able to visualize them. As they say, love is about sharing and that’s what I wish to share with you guys. :) <3
 

The concert was at 4pm in the evening. I left my house at around 8.45am. And I wore heels. Naise. Yes, freaking HEELS. My bestfriend offered me a chunkier wedges instead but I was not confident of wearing them since I am afterall, a clumsy klutz. My max heel size is like 4cm HAHA

I’m 1.6m tall and I can tell you, it’s still hard to see in the moshpit if you don’t stand out. This was a lesson I learnt the hard way from EXO’luxion.  So basically, I wore the damn heels for 15 hours straight. Yes, you can figure what happened the next day to my pitiful aching legs.

A lot of people were already giving out freebies and banners and they were all super, super PRETTY. Like this airline boarding pass card featuring EXO’s superpowers which I missed to take TT A pity I couldn’t collect much, and I don’t even know why. The weather outside the indoor stadium was sweltering hot and I just felt a bit restless to roam around in my shoes. I didn’t get to collect as much this year, heck I only got 1 Sehun photo card. And I didn’t get Lay’s one at all /sobs/. But I bought Sehun’s baseball jersey and I’m very much contented hehe.



Oh yeah, the L'Optimum magazine is a Thailand publication and I don't even read Thai smh I only bought it for a few editorial pages and cover of Sehun



Anyway I got to take a photo at EXO’s official SM container lolol the feelz



yeah this how I lOOKED LMAO im pissed at myself for not taking any proper selfies bcos i was too busy running around it was my FIRST TIME USING MAKEUP AFTER 5 MONTHS 

We had to queue up at around 2.15pm and by then I was legit tired already LOL tolcha im a klutz. I was in PEN C, which is like the centralized part of the moshpit. All moshpit ticket holders are also given wrist tags! Here’s a visualization of where I was going to stand.



Since my area was further from the main stage as compared to PEN A and PEN B, I couldn’t really see the main stages (the long rectangular area) well which unfortunately carries some of my favourite songs. They started off with Mama, and oh God, the remix was lit like the one in SBS Gayo. Monster remix was lit too, I swooned when I got to see their infamous leg twisting chorus choreo. Baekhyun’s solo killed me, he looked like a BEAST and I don’t know if he ripped his buttons or something but if my memory serves me right, there were some intricate painting on his skin making him look so y. And that DARK BLACK EYELINER. My life is complete.

They sang Wolf and the remix sounded so much better and cooler than the original version I LOVE IT ill go check it out again soon haha. I was SO EXCITED to hear Chanyeol’s CHOGIWA live, it’s exactly how it sounds like from Youtube!!! #SHOOKT And you can obviously bet, the screams were extra loud at that particular lyric. Haha

By this point, my throat was super hoarse and dry I was like oh , it’s only the third song but I was already so thirsty. I screamed a lot to hype up, but I was the type that was able to control myself hahaa. We weren’t allowed F&B in the auditorium fyi. Oh yeah, did I mentioned my feet were already blistering? Lol but anything for EXO.

If y’all are wondering, I was standing at the back of the moshpit to get a full aerial view bcos I didn’t liked to be squeezed in front. The boys finally came to the compact center stage during their ments, which was closer to my PEN. They introduced themselves mostly in English, except Kai, I think. The boys sounded very lively, and I appreciated that.

Here comes the exciting giggly part, EXO finally started dispersing to the extended hexagon stages and yeap. MY ULTIMATE BIAS SEHUNNNNNN.

He came over during thunder and started flaunting his seamless moves and HIS SHIRT CAME UP SLIGHTLY AND I SAW HIS SLIM TORSO LIKE what the fck— WAS THAT EVEN HUMANELY POSSIBLE I JUST WANNA KISS HIM BUT OBVIOUSLY I DIDNT LMAO WHEN HE SHIMMERED AT THE THUNDER THUNDER THUNDER PART I WAS BLUSHING PROFUSELY AND HE DID THE MOUTH WHISTLE HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO THINGY WHICH WAS SO FKIN DELIRIOUS TO MY SANITY oh God. Here’s a gif!!!! RIP to u + me



SEE HIS STOMACH??? ABAHADHQQ i cackled 

THAT, ladies & gentlemen, is the true definition of See The Light.

The song suddenly transitioned into Playboy and the song went, “hey, playBOYYYYYY” and I was like OH SNAP SEHUN AEDIEQEORWREI and he started circling around his position but went off after a while so I moved on to the next member: KAIIIIII.

SEKAI IS MY ULTIMATE FAVOURITE OTP WHEN IT COMES TO PLAYBOY BCOS THEYRE SO FLUID AND MAKNAE LINE IS ALWAYS DAMN HOT AND YEAP RUDE, HE STARED STRAIGHT AT US, DID THAT DAMN SMIRK AND BLEW KISSES RIGHT AFTER THAT PROVOCATIVE DANCE HOW DARE HE WE FELT SO ATTACKED ISTG. (Just like how he's always portrayed in fanfics THIS ONE HOWEVER WAS REAL)

 Im still crying till this day shut up



LOOK! Mom I wanna marry him....

Don’t be fooled by his charisma, Kai is still pretty much a dork haha.



This was when he dropped his cane in Artificial Love lol you can see his shy smile after that cute mistake. The calm before storm until he started humping that object LOOOL.



Next! We have the no.1 extra member ing the poor piece of wood too. I have a fancam of him but I was shaking so much for apparent reasons HAHAHAHAHAHA I hate myself. Lemme tell you something, Baek did it just as hard as Kai. I’ll leave it to your imagination k.



Urgh seriously fork you both KaiBaek for putting me through this anguish!



Lady Luck is definitely one of my favourite song from EXODUS album and here we have Sekai dancing to it. Oh, Ksoo cracked his voice here and Chanyeol stopped playing the guitar, Junmyeon lost his , Kai totally lost his . Basically everyone did. Props to Sehun for maintaining his façade.

This was when they performed the acoustic medley, you know snippets of their songs in that white blouse and pants. They sang My Lady which I don’t remember at all lmao and other songs such as Call Me Baby and Moonlight. At this period, my scrooge  gave in and went to buy an ice cool drink for $2 where I could've got it for 65 cents at a supermarket bcos I was already fkin dehydrated LOL. Since Yixing didn’t attend, they skipped Monodrama /shrugs/ Of course, it’s sad, bcos I really adored that Chinese song but then again what’s the point when the main singer himself isn’t there…



Sehun being a cute a$$ god more reasons to sarang him i was that close to the love of my life aka ART



I swear I love my men having fun. This was during Tender Love and it warmed my fibres to see them engaging with the crowd.



Love Me Right was no short of perfection.





His back is just so broad and his built is just sturdy— oh wow. I just wanna be a koala and sleep on it haha.





One And Only (PSSSSTTT look at their soaked shirts sticking to their bare chests kekekee)



Sehun being one with the water is my aesthetic his skin is super smooth transparent and glistening and enthralling he unreal man /sobs/ reminds me of swan lake lol wtf



EXO’s VCR(s) has always been of premium quality with all those CGI and visual effects but this big-head-small-body toy factory video which was for Lucky was SOOOOO ADORABLE /incoherent sounds/



I love this segment the most. Everyone poured their souls into singing Heaven, waving their lightstick along the air and we were like “HELLO ANGEEEEELLLLL GURAE GATA HA NEREUUU RU MYEON” smtg like that. I felt it, EXO felt it, the security guards felt it. Language aint no barrier if music connects us *deep*. Everything was just so damn surreal, it was enchanting.



Idek why I took this but ksoo was casually stripping ops



Suho k!ng of generosity he’s like the finger-heart machine bcos he’s a total F L I R T. He has one of the best fanservice during the concert btw.



In the midst of greeting his fans during 3.6.5, Jongin bowed in gratitude. King of being humble.



Whoever said Ksoo is a satansoo needs to have a talk with me



Overdose is the bomb. That got me into EXO, that got me into KPOP, that ruined my peaceful life lol jkkk. Last year overdose was the first song to be performed in exoluxion and I was distracted loads of time bcos of the guards but this year I had a pleasant view and can finally watched it to my full enjoyment. HOORAY!



The holy trinity in Lightsaber. Damn just look at their huge….guns... veins.... thighs... EXO in simple black tshirt is my…..weakness. They just look so boyfriend this why im single ayY



ok tbh, I was not expecting this lightsaber stage to be a raining performance too (I didn’t check out exordium teasers). I know how cold and hard it must’ve been, but the waterfall was seriously dazzling okay it was super gorgeous so SO DAMN GORGEOUS.

Baekhyun said he was actually shocked bcos the water came down super freezing but look at him go with that sword thingy he still killed it that’s right my type.

Anyway, after this was their MENT again. The vocal line started doing their iconic harmonizing which failed with us audience lol and they talked about eating chilli crabs and Ksoo said “I like pepper crabs.” Ok cool D.O learning smtg new everyday but seriously why do idols always eat that in Singapore like we have chicken rice, prata, mee soto and so much more food ya know??



I will never forget this bcos Suho claimed that he liked the night view in Singapore bcos it was extremely beautiful then he added in “but nothing can be better than you” and the crowd went wild SAFKWQHR I hate his flirting ctfu



This was him getting embarassed



OoOOOooO this was Baekhyun's face at second-hand embarassement when he cringed at his dad LOLLLL

So while the others were still changing we actually had a fanproject for Sehun for his 23^rd birthday. He was the last one to get back on stage after the lightsaber choreo. I, for one, am not the type to hold up banners bcos I have my phone and lightstick in both hands but for SEA HOON I RUSHED TO MY BAG TOOK OUT THAT PINK WHITE VIVI BANNER AND WHEN HE CAME ON STAGE SUHO PROMPTED US TO SING A HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR HIM LIKE APPARENTLY BAEKHYUN ALREADY READ OUT THE BANNER WHICH WROTE “HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIVI APPA” and when we started singing he was touched but then the crowd also sang in Hangul AND THAT’S WHEN HE GOT SO MOVED TO TEARS IT SHOWED HIS EYES SPARKLING IN THE VCR LOOLL I love him so much Sehun also managed to read the words on the banner and him saying thank you in English is so fkin cute. I’m so pleased bcos last year Singapore celebrated KaiSoo’s birthday together and this year it’s my ult’s birthday so it's extremely special for me :’D





Pictures don't do justice but I saw stars in his eyes because his pupils were shining lol. What a beautiful moment

Well for his birthday he mentioned he wanted 500 boxes of snacks for vivi so yea sehun fanbases, this is a huge tip for you guys. You’re welcome.



At last we have a Chanyeol gif bcos him coming to my PEN is like waiting for rain in the drought but when he does he came really close to the platform rim (that other members rarely or NEVER attempted) and genuinely looked over at the fans which is like quality over quantity so I have no complaints hahahaha.



He really is an angel just look at the lighting that accompanies him lol. Soooo dreamy.

This was ion know some sort of hip-hop sub unit with Sehun Chanyeol and Xiumin which explains their street style and they were mumbling some hardly-understandable language like getcha getcha I swear it sounds like tht if yall have any idea what it means enlighten me plz. Well SM, I'll sure would like to see more from this ChanHunXiu unit LOLOL. Anyway the 3-guys ment here was funny Xiumin sorta teased us and Chanhun literally ended up ROFL well. Anyway we asked them about EXO’s next comeback and GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!

..

..

..

Nothing.

They spilled no-th-ing.

Chanyeol said they weren’t preparing anything for the time being but I bet my he’s l y i n g



The oldest hyung is actually a precious bean pROTECT THIS PENGUIN.



Haters will say Kai pausing to smile at me is fake HAHAHAHA



A rare footage of Jongin being super hyper during Drop That like look at him completely going bonkers I love this concept



Suho looks like he bouta go to some hipster indie party just look at his bohemian get-up. Still looks like royalty I love leaders



Ok tbh, you haven’t seen Chen’s gif at all bcos HE NEVER CAME TO PEN C IM SO SAD HE’S MY FAVOURITE VOCALIST this gif isnt even upclose smh bt ok during Drop That actually Sehun came over but as soon as Jongdae was about to drop that iconic high note that he blasted during MAMA 2015 I swerved lanes faster than lighting at that point, who cares if Sehun is my ult I GOTTA RECORD JONGDAE’S CRAZY VOCAL LIVE at all COSTS



Baekhyun's bomber jacket reminds me of his Skechers' Sweet Monster promo yknow, y and rude l o l



Honestly, if you think Sehun’s body proportions are no joke, you’re 100% ACCURATELY DAMN right. He’s lanky, slim, seductive, tall, everything is so flawless. The platform is like his fkin catwalk runway.



I swear the second time Junmyeon is waving is to ME ME ME everyone was silent already but I raised up my hand so he returned the gesture I AINT making this up look there was a slight pause right OUR EYE CONTACT WAS REAL wow thanks jm be my muse pls











Some of my high-resolution photos! HAHAHAHAHAA

Okay honestly their hip-hop get up was to perform some sort of zumba kinda song which I've never heard before and you know what Suho took the center and he was so enthusiastic all out compare with Sehun at the back in black cap HAHAHAHA well but I still love him though, really, and Jongdae was like "EVERYONE JUMP TOGETHER!!!!!!" I think the fk not bro my feet already hurts too much. It was totally like a textbook clubbing scene tbh. But I still motioned up and down in my own position to get with the flow if you get what I mean TROLOL



LOOK! HAHHHAHAHA I was so confused at this part it felt like a fitness class with Suho being the head coach XD



We’re coming to the end already :( This was their last MENT and they said they had a meaningful time here. ME TOO GUYS, ME TOO, you don’t even know. Anyway, they started using the props thrown to the stage such as costumes and plushies and masks then the guys loaded their empty water rifles with the bottled water and started to get naughty. Did I mention Chanyeol using that Yoda mask while Sehun picked up Jongdae's yearbook photo from his high school as a meme mask? For your memory, it looked like this:



And... you can guess how Chen reacted. Brownie points for the correct answer. Lol



"EXO hates their fans" BTCH WHERE He was shaking his hands so much during Growl I almost thought he’ll break his limbs



Ya’ll think I was okay after this in Lucky One?? Nah fam

This is actually Kim Freaking Jongin so I'm surprised he went easy on doing that hipthrust which he commonly wouldn't for the sake of PG13 i guess



Rare footage of Ksoo smacking himself right in the face with a ball and pretending like ntg happened lol



Part 1 of the watergun fight saga: Sehun VS Suho



Part 2 of the watergun fight saga: Chanyeol deciding it was a good idea to join in….



Part 3 of the watergun fight saga: …And the notorious duo fleeing away from the scene of the crime. Legend has it that was the last time we ever saw them.

Rip ChanHun



Baekhyun, a 24 year old grown man playing with… bubbles.



Wheoever thought it was a wise idea to let the maknae shoot through like a heartbreaker??? Huh?? HUHHHH??????????



MY FAVOURITE FISHEAD

SERIOUSLY THOUGH HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HIM? He's my bias wrecker tbh....





JK I STILL LOVE SEHUN THE MOST





P/S: I'm really sorry yall had to see my face apart from EXO as well but afterall it IS my blogpost AHAHA

THAT’S ALL FOLKS

My personal verdict: 10/10!!!

• To simply say it was amazing would be an understatement. SM outdone themselves, EXO put in their 200%. Seriously, thanks a lot guys.
• I can safely say though I favour their EXODUS discography > EX'ACT, EXO'r'DIum was more fun than EXO'luxion!! Plus it's an hour longer woot
• Water stages were breathtaking, it’s like you’re getting into a glittering abyss
• Their bodyrolls leave me more frustrated than eva
• Even if they wipe their sweat with a towel their make-up still looks flawless on the face smh. Stylist-nim, hurry and recommend me that BB cream.
• The boys were more interactive this year. They smiled and looked like they really enjoyed themselves
• Certain members pamper with extra affection, depending on your luck haha
• EXO is beautiful cry cry
• I miss Lay so much
• But I’m happy he got a lot of VCR screentime to make up for his absence
• I miss 2 April 
• The finale makes me emo at the thought that I got nothing to look forward to anymore
• Worth every spent of my time effort and money getting the VIP standing!! Even if that meant starving for months lol
• One of the best days in my 2017 that I'll never forget
• Everyone should go for at least ONE exo concert in their lifetime; it's an overwhelming but memorable experience

And my not-so little observation from the EXO members during the concert…

Sehun: Shy asf. He's the same as you see in music show fancams— slightly reserved, but that doesn't mean he's arrogant. Wears his cap too low and I hate it bcos boy why you gotta hide that handsome face of yours that I'll trade anything just to see for a sec lol. He circles around too much IT MAKES IT HARD TO CAPTURE HIS RECORDING. Still tries to engage with us with subtle gestures rather than direct face-offs and THAT'S HIS BIGGEST CHARM EXCUSE ME. Plays hard to get cos he knows he gon get all the gals anyway LMAO

Kai: FKIN SWEET. Deserves only happiness in this world. Lets fans know he reads and sees their fan boards, signs etc. Attempts to engage us during his singing. Smiles a lot. Stares into you soul. Absolutely adore his healthy radiant-looking bronze skin. Able to carve a home in our hearts. Ladies’ man. The type of marriage candidate your parents would recommend LOL. "Once you Jongin you can't Jongout"— well sisters, that statement ain't false.

Suho: Fanservice ahjussi. Handsome asf. Sleek. Porcelain milk skin that's almost impossible. Child stuck in a man’s body. Goofy and silly. But still converses well. Can see his efforts in trying to communicate in a foreign language hahahaa. Glib, honeyed tongue bcos his pick-up lines drive the women insane smh. Damn boi, where he buy that floral blouse tho cos i want it too. Badly

Baekhyun: Extra. Extra asf. Owns this . Fully aware we’re waiting for him to grind on the cane so he pushes for it, this sleazy piece of sh*t... Sassy. Abit , don't probe. Pulls that "i-know-what-you-did-last-summer" look when a member embarasses himself. Giggles like a toddler. Knows how to be a party animal. Love hate relationship with his coy smirk. Cutie with a booty

Xiumin: WHO SAID HE’S THE OLDEST??? FIGHT ME he’s a smol bean, the oversized hoodie makes him look like a baby. Well-mannered and respectful. Makes light jokes to loosen up the awkward atmosphere. Small-sized, big heart. If you ask me, he can be deemed as a natural talker. Intiatively leads convo well when the two bratty dongsaengs aka ChanHun are dying of laughter and gasping for oxygen. Highkey soft. Also surprisingly playful ahahks. 

Chen: STILL screaming in his ments. I don’t know why but I rarely saw him smile or it could be bcos he’s tired since he tackles almost all of their hardest lines, but during his own ments he tries to still not let it show and I admire his professionalism. Vocals are no joke I swear, it gives me chills when the mega sound system amplifies it further within the four walls of the auditorium. LOVE his vocals in Girl x Friend and Transformer. Online and offline, he stills aces it. THIS IS THE POWER OF A TRUE VOCALIST, GUYS. And he's Daeul’s bro. legit

Kyungsoo: VERY RESPECTFUL. Really humble. Scored my heart. Kinda Short HAHA no tea just fax. Always showing that gummy smile. Suspiciously clumsy at times when no one's paying attention. Full points for humility. Always silently judging the members mainly PCY and KJI for pulling some sort of rubber before him. Plotting ways mentally to kill Chanyeol for being annoying. Is actually a kid too, only lowkey. It’s okay Soo, we totally get it. Afterall, there are no secrets in the fandom lmao

Chanyeol: Fckin tall. Hyperactive giant. Needs to learn how to wear his damn jacket properly otherwise I'll personally zip it up. What material is that jacket fabric though becos he'S SOME BOYFRIEND MATERIAL. Made use of elderly Xiumin as a bowling pin trying to show off new skills he picked up from his hobby, the audacity.... Voice is really deep you can dissolve underground. Piercing gaze during rapping makes your knees crumble. Looks like a prince fml. Highkey attractive. Nothing lacking in his damn looks. Really sweet and sincere he aint my original first bias for nothing yo. 

SORRY FOR THIS LONG BLOGPOST BUT I HAD TO PEN IT DOWN SOMEWHERE BEFORE I FORGOT THIS MAGICAL EXPERIENCE. I wrote it explicity also for those who can’t come to EXO concerts. If you attended EXO’r’DIUMinSG, let me knw!! We can chill out lol.

It’s only been 3 days and I can’t wait for EXO to come back for EXO Planet #4.

I'm so sorry this came late, I just recently started on a new job and adapting is very tiring so I'll be very slow in replying to yall here im like TT. Converting videos to gifs was deadass time-consuming I posted a full thread on twitter, you can check it out here! Follow me if you want to, I don't bite

 

Peace out
