November 14, 2010 - JYJ Las Vegas, NV Showcase!
Okay, so as many of you who have visited my profile, know that I've been spazzing about JYJ coming here to the US AND the fact that I was allowed to go to one of the concerts. But due to some difficult drama of changing, postponing, canceling and all that jazz, the final three concerts of their THE BEGINNING US tour became FREE showcases. So basically, I could have gone regardless. Anyhoo, today I attended the Las Vegas, NV at Planet Hollywood showcase and instead of balcony seating (which I had paid for beforehand), I bumped up to the floor seating, but I wasn't allowed to go to the Orchestra seating. But as a surprise, since the Orchestra seating had a TON of extra seats, a whole lot of us were allowed to move down so we could fill it up. So, I was even CLOSER to JYJ than I originally paid for... LOL!
Anyway, the show finally started and I officially lost my voice. The boys started out with the song Empty, which a lot of us were jumping, screaming and dancing to. But I have to say, I think BE THE ONE was my favorite performance. Why? Well, let me tell you! We were all jumping and screaming, figures, ne? Haha! But I learned something today... Kim "Xiah" Junsu is ADDICTED to hip ing. YES, you read me correctly... KIM XIAH JUNSU LOVES TO HIP ! JJ (though, there were times when he would just dance for the hell of it, to make himself even MORE ier and/or sillier) and Yoochun were just dancing all y like, but Junsu just stood there on MY side of the venue ... HIP ING. (I don't think I told you, but I was actually surrounded by a bunch of Asian GUYS and a few other girls... I wasn't sure if I should have felt awkward or amused... But I did feel both) I was on the verge of fainting, but luckily, I switched over to Jaejoong-oppa, but I was just about ready to faint anyway. Because we all know who I slightly favor over anyway... LMFAAO! -coughJAEJOONGcough-
But my favorite moment of the entire showcase was that little interview that Emcees conducted with the boys. The boys were adorable and VERY funny. Yoochun-oppa was so shy, especially whenever he was speaking since he was stuck translating for Junsu and Jaejoong. Just so you know, I fan over Yoochun's English... Easily understandable and just HEAVEN in my ears. Yes, I'm aware that he did live here in the States for like six some years, but yeah... Yoochun's English = ic to MY ears. >_>;;; He was soooooo shy too! It was just flat out ADORKABLE! And throughout the show case, he'd often play with his new hair cut, which I prefer MORE than that ginormous hair disaster which I dubbed his "Michael Balton" look. His new hair style, SUITS HIM VERY WELL! Anyhoo! Yeah, he'd often play with his hair and smile a lot... And he kept mumbling "Do you like it?" a lot and I couldn't help but go all "Awwwwwww! Of course!" though, I know he couldn't hear me... T_T;;; As for Junsu, hearing him speak English was so cute! "Hi, I'm Junsu... Kim!" And I laughed and cooed over that! Jaejoong... AISH! That boy, I couldn't really understand him, because he said his little greeting quickly and turned to Yoochun, who was all like "Wtf? o_O?" But of course, his y English of "Hi, I'm Micky~ -Smile! Smile!-" SO CUTE!
Okay, so yeah... Introductions done and the first question happened to be "What was your most memoriable gift a fan has given you?" Junsu started speaking in Korean, but the Emcee translated for us saying that "We often get many gifts from the fans and we treasure them equally! But I think the most memoriable gift(s) are the fan made drawings and paintings they give us." I was all like "Awwww!", but while I was kinda gushing over Junsu's answer, I was caught off guard when Jaejoong (OUT OF NOWHERE) bluntly states "." And I don't think I've ever seen him which such a serious face before either. Yoochun practically fell over his seat and Junsu was just laughing his off. We all started laughing and Jaejoong kinda looked away, REALLY embarrassed and I was thinking "OPPA! YOU ERT! xDDD!" Finally, it was Yoochun's turn and with that gorgeous smile he had on the entire time, he says as sincerely as he possibly could, "The gift of love from our fans." We all went "AWWWWWWWWWW!!" and screamed while Jaejoong has this INDESCRIBABLE YET HILARIOUS look on his face that he completely turned away from the audience! I had a feeling it was because he felt "One-uped" by Yoochun's answer! I LOVE YOU OPPA, NO WORRIES! The questions continued and there was another question, "What did you guys do yesterday night?" (It's VEGAS! ;D) We screamed and Yoochun decided to answer this one. He was looking down on his mic, then looked up and timidly answered "We were at a Club." Response from us, the audience: Screaming. But then he finished saying, that they were with staff and I dunno why, but we all laughed.
So, the interview ended and we were treated to a Korean song... Which happens to be the theme to Yoochun's current drama. Listening to that, oh boy... I swooned. And then it switched over to AYY GIRL, which had us screaming and dancing once again and I couldn't help but sing along. xDD Seeing the boys sing and dance... KYAH! I'll never forget this!
Sadly (after like... An hour-ish of constant screaming, laughing and fangirling), the concert came to an end and the boys finished it off with a BANG! Like LITERALLY! >_> Confetti and streamers were released while they did a remix to Empty. We were all jumping around and just having a blast and I was sad to see the boys climb up the stairs and wave goodbye to their Vegas fans. But before Jaejoong left, he thanked everyone in English and I got to hear his infamous "HA HA HA!" laugh (and he snorted xD) before he disappeared.
I can officially die one HELL of a happy girl!
I hated my glowstick by the way, but that really isn't the issue. I can't really describe the feelings that were rushing all over me when the boys first appeared. Surreal? Yeah, for lack of better wording. Because like many of you, what are the chances that you can see these boys live FOR FREE anyway? I was SUPER lucky this evening and I don't think I'll EVER forget this night. Especially since that this is MY FIRST concert and it happened to be FREE and JYJ. If I could, I would go to the LA showcase, but seeing them here was enough for me. The boys looked really good too. I know that Jaejoong and Yoochun were feeling under the weather, but they sure didn't show it at the performance. Jaejoong and Junsu were practically having a HUGE blast and Yoochun, well... He was just being shy and level headed. Eeeek! Mmmm... I'm not going to lie, I couldn't STOP staring at Jaejoong-oppa... And you KNOW you can't blame me! Meeting some fans and getting to see them... Aigoo! I'm dreaming happily tonight~
<3 <3 <3
Oh and BTW, I was told that we had to be careful about the whole taking pictures thing. Sadly, I wasn't able to take any pictures (since I have an ancient phone with a lousy camera) and a lot of people got away with BRINGING in Professional Cameras at the venue. I'm sad that I couldn't take any pictures... But I do plan on a NEXT TIME. >_>;;;
