Fan account from SHINee’s appearance at Club Octagon 120303 

This fan account was shared by a Korean fan (who wants to remain anonymous), telling the truth about what happened during the SHINee concert at Club Octagon.

The performance, which was supposed to last for approximately 45 minutes, was abruptly cancelled after only 10 minutes because of the crowd going too wild (hear more about that in this video). 

Here is the translated version of the fan account:

“After the first two songs, I could see people in the club starting to fall to the floor because of the pressure. Luckily I was on one of the balconies which weren’t as crowded since they were far from the stage, but we could tell that the people in the front of the platform were getting hurt from the fans pushing. 

Taemin was the first member to notice what was going on, and he looked really worried as he tried to tell everyone to step back and stop pushing. The rest of the members joined in and the event was cancelled barely 10 minutes after its start.

After that, me and my friend left the club 20 minutes later, and once we left the club we saw SHINee’s van waiting outside, waiting to pick them up. It seemed like 2 of the members was already sitting in the car, and thankfully there were no fans surrounding the van or the exit. While waiting for our cab to arrive we heard the exit door open, and I saw Minho stepping out with 2 guards around him. He walked with fast steps towards the van but as he saw me and my friend sitting on a bench on the other side of the street, he stopped before entering the car as he looked at us and shouted “Are you okay?”

My friend, who had been holding her hands on her abdomen because of pains, looked up and nodded quickly, perhaps Minho thought she had been at the front rows of the concert. Then Minho bowed and thanked us for coming before being shuffled into the van by one of the guards.

As we were still waiting for the cab, a young woman approached us and we could tell that she had been a part of the crowd at the concert. We shared the cab home with her, and on the way she told us how she had been carried away by security guards from the crowd even before the actual concert had begun because of the pressure. She told us she had seen Minho and Onew before they went up on stage as a nurse was checking up on her leg, which had been badly hurt while she was pressed against the fence. They had only walked by the room very quickly but Minho had stopped to ask if she was okay before continuing to the stage. She was very touched and told us that Minho really is a pure person, and we agreed without doubt.

I was never the biggest fan of SHINee, but since that day I will always respect Minho for being such a caring idol, doing his best to make sure all SHINee fans are doing fine. Thank you SHINee and Minho for stepping up for others’ health like this!”

I am so proud to be a flame. I would be forever touched if Minho spoke to me in such a caring manner. I LOVE YOU CHOI MINHO <3
