So basically, yesterday (4/28) I got to go see EXO in concert again!! Last time was for EXO'LUXION and that was last year (2/14). ((But y'all did you notice 4/28 is 2/14 doubled HOW FITTING BECAUSE THIS WAS THE SECOND CONCERT!!!))

Anyways...

So. Many. Things. To. Say. For starters, my experience this time wasn't as emotional as last time because a) I already saw them IRL before so it wasn't as big a deal to me anymore, b) this concert doesn't have the Promise VCR so there was nothing to make me bawl like a baby at the end, c) the GA line and entire Forum organization situation was a hot mess and turned me off so much which I didn't think was even possible because EXO!!! But somehow they managed it... I won't talk about the lines though because that would be a huge rant so I'm just going to talk about the concert!

The Forum can apparently hold 3,000 standing in the pit, so MMT ing sold like 800+ GA standing tickets. I mean, I guess it did make the GA pit look full (finally, LMAO cause if you look at Newark concert pics or even concert pics from last year the GA pit was basically empty) BUT EVERYONE WAS ALSO SQUISHING SO ING HARD AND THEY KEPT PUSHING AND IT WAS A HELLHOLE. I actually was in like the third row at the beginning of the concert but I was behind these really tall Chinese girls who also wore heels (ing hoes....) so I could not see . I could barely even see the screens either and I was extremely disappointed. But I mean regardless of the fact the boys were absolutely bEAUTIFUL. This time I could finally believe they were real (LMAO @ me last year who legit thought if they were animated wax figures for a good second there) but that might be because the Forum lights were white light and last year's Memorial Stadium had kinda yellow-ish lighting... AS EXPECTED I ING TURNED INTO A DAMN XIUMIN STAN AS SOON AS I SAW HIS EYES THOSE EYES MAN.

Ninibear and Kyungsoo and Suho were SO excited LMAO I swear to god Jongin got more handsome??? Like IDEK how the that's possible but it happened... And he was super duper smiley the whole concert and kept doing finger hearts and giving his 130% into the performances and smiRKING AND 'S SAKE MY BABY CHILD!!!!! Kyungsoo was also really, really smiley and he kept waving at the audience which was really sweet. It made me really happy to see him waving so much at us with his adorable heart smile UGH MY PRECIOUS. He was so cute at the end of the concert he said he wanted to eat In-n-Out and that all of the fans should eat burgers too HAHAHAH. Suho was so excited LMAO He said he was a little crazy and that he loves LA the most outside of South Korea and that he really likes La La Land too (and that Kyungsoo has been practicing piano for La La Land 2 lol...). He finally said welcome to EXO'RDIUM (because for both the NY and Mexico shows he slipped up and said "welcome to EXO'LUXION" LOOOL love my Joonma) and he spoke in English a LOT. It was really cute and he said LA has a lot of famous beaches like Santa Monica Beach and Malibu... And then he said "ah, when we say the word 'beach' we have to watch our pronunciation" LMAO. He also kept calling Chanyeol crazy and telling him to focus because of course, Chanyeol was being extra again LOL. 

We sang happy birthday for Baek!! When we started singing, the members were like woah what's going on?? And then they were like ah, it's for Baekhyunnie and they started cheering. Somehow threw a birthday tiara-like thing onto stage and Baekhyun put it on and thanked us and we starting singing again LOOOL He looked a little surprised that we were singing again at first but then he joined in and led us to finish it haha. BAEKHYUN IS LITERALLY SO PRECIOUS IRL I'm glad he wasn't as tired as he was last year and was actually being himself on stage again :') Sehun was still a little quiet though but I guess that's just his personality.

I think the saddest part of the concert was when they were about to start the acoustic performance and they were like "is everyone having fun? it would be more fun if the people in the back would take a step back so it's safe. we won't start until you guys move." And then some people moved back and some people didn't and they asked "is everyone okay?" AND WE ACTUALLY REPLIED NO. I think they were a little shook and Baekhyun (the sweet angel...) kept saying "take a step back please" and he kept asking "are you guys okay now?" and when we said no AGAIN he was like "no?" and was so concerned AJSKDL;F WHAT A LITTLE ANGEL

The stage at the Forum was closer to the audience this time and people threw stuff onstage and some got picked up and some didn't LOL Mainly it was Chanyeol picking stuff up and then passing it around the members (as usual). I think Suho also said not to throw stuff onstage anymore?? I originally had a box of EXO Peppero I wanted to throw onstage but I decided against it because I didn't want to hurt them. Because the pit had so many more people than normal, a lot of people were passing out too, and a lot faster?? I felt really bad for them honestly cause for a few minutes I really couldn't breathe in the pit lol. Also! They are filming Showtime Season 2 because when we were in line waiting to go in, staff came around with a camera and filmed us, and then asked certain individuals to say "showtime" AJSKLD;F SO WE HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. Also, Chris Lee (EXO's trainer? workout buddy?) came to the concert too, as well as Tony (the choreographer for Wolf and Overdose I believe) and at the end of the concert EXO gave them shoutouts and it was really cute. OH! While I was waiting in line for 10394830 hours I saw EXO's car leaving after dropping them off at the venue for soundcheck lol. It was kinda sad that the car was empty but later on while we were waiting to go inside the actual stage area we could hear the soundcheck! I heard Growl, Monster, and Lightsaber :') The bass is sO heavy even from outside the venue LOOOL.
