ZE:A showcase in Abu Dhabi!!

 

So here's my story about the ZE:A Showcase in Abu Dhabi on April 21st (today XD)

 

I arrived at 3:45 at the venua, and there were much more people than I expected. So I stood in the line, and talked to some other Kpop fans. Then at 4:15, people started entering, but before we got in to where the showcase would be held, there was a stand of the face shop and a big poster of our dearest Kim Hyun Joong. Everybody entering got a free mask from them, which was totally lovely. 

Then once I got inside, already 2/3 of the auditorium was filled (around 300 ppl I think). They handed out ZE:A balloons, but they ran out of posters when I arrived (sad face). Everybody was really excited, and once in a while, people started chanting "ZE:A", and the name of certain members. 

Then one of the organisors got on stage, and started turning on the heat and asking for more fanchants. We had to be a little more patient though, because it was a good 20 minutes that we had to wait. Then they started talking about ZE:A itself (duuh, we already know about that) and about sponsors (which was long and boring, especially considering since the fans were dying to see them on stage).

 Finally, FINALLY, they showed a short video about ZE:A, and then our dearest boys got on stage. They sang the first song, which was All Day Long.

Then it was time for the interview. First of all, they did their introductions, in a mix of English, Korean and even some Arabic. On a side note, Kevin's English is seriously flawless. Throughout the evening, he rose up on my bias list too XDAfter that was all finished, they talked about how Dongjun  and Kwanghee had to attend something in Korea, and therefore couldn't make it. (I was SAD! my 2 biases weren't there T.T) So they had recorded a little video with them in it, and it was nice that they thought of this.

 Then they started asking some other questions, but the fans were being too loud, and there were problmes with hearing.So Kevin asked us nicely to quiet down and to sit down for safety reasons. The fact that we sat down so nicely made them kinda praise us (I felt like a dog being pat lovingly). So the questions continued, and they were mostly about how they felt coming to Korea, about their debut and trainee life. There was one question, and one of the memebrs (forgot which one, I think it was Siwan though) answered that they would like to take a girlfriend back to Korea. (Assa, I'm here!!!) 

They announced that their new album will be released in June (I will start saving now)!

They also sang an a capella song, some beatboxing was showcased, and a cover of the Lazy Song.Anyways, after that was over they continued with handing out the raffle prices (which I forgot to buy a ticket for - HUL) The prices were samsung galaxy tabs and phones. The members were totally adorable when they sang 'Congratulations' over and over again. Fangirls were screaming when the winners got to shake hands with some of the members. (Yup, I was part of the angry fangirl mob)

Oh did I mention that they were adorable? :D 

Anyways, after that they sang Mazeltov, and everybody just went crazy! I was singing my lungs out,and it was clear that the members were totally enjoying themselves. Then it was the end, and they went of the stage. So we all started screaming for an encore, and so they came back on the stage and sang Here I Am.

Then it was really the end TT.TT

 So we went all out, and then I was gonna take a picture of the Kim Hyun Joong picture, but some girl was hogging it >< Then there was also a table with fan gifts from ZE:A, and they got quite a lot actually! There was also a pretty lady in a hanbok who was handing out booklets about Korea and stuff (as if we don't wanna go really badly already).

And then we were outside, and everything was over.
