[Fan account] B.A.P LOE 2014 Sydney Attack!!

Hello there!

I'm going to write a fan account of B.A.P's LOE 2014 Sydney Attack concert, but since it's my first time going to a concert in the first place, it'll probably be a bit mixed up or out of order. I'm not really sure how this is gonna turn out. And it'll be long.

First of all, I'm gonna vent out the bad things - there aren't many though. So, JK Entertainment, which was the company who were basically the organisers were pretty strict on the 'no cameras' rule. I don't really get why though? I seriously wanted to get more pictures of Zelo and the group but NOO, the security and the staff themselves were running around telling people off and warning them to put their cameras away. That was probably ruined it for me, because I couldn't get pictures T^T... all those precious moments.

Okay, so the concert overall was pretty awesome, I loved every second of it! ^^ I'm so glad I was able to even go. I mean, I won a ticket, and then it took me ages and convincing from my dad before I could go (that was the most painful part for me, since I didn't know whether or not I could go). Anyways, the pre-concert wait was quite long; my friends went early at around 11am to wait in line before the rest of us came to join them, and even then the line was really long. Luckily, the staff decided to split the sections - VIP standing and GA standing up, so there was two lines instead of one, which meant that my friends got moved up closer and we were able to get a better spot. So, the 7-8 hour wait for them (5 hour wait for me) was boring but I could feel the excitement of everyone else who were around us. There were plenty of people from those support/fan groups etc giving out unofficial photocards and banners. Yellow ribbons were also given out in support of the Sewol ferry incident too :D. I went to buy their First Sensibility album too (secretly hoping to get a High Touch ticket - ticket to meeting/touching B.A.P).

When it was around 6pm, we were all standing already, ready to get inside. But, this was the most frightening part of the night for me. People pushed from behind, and the fences that kept us in place was even pushed over. It was a pretty phenomenal force. I didn't even have to walk, I was simply pushed along, barely able to stay on my feet. Luckily, I was able to stay with my friends, so that's okay.

As we were running in to get a place, staff handed out pens and bandanas, advertising an airline/ tourism stuff. haha. By the time we all got in, I was lucky since we were close to the front, that we got a good spot. Basically, the areas were divided from the stage back - VIP standing, GA Standing (me) then upstairs were the seating. I was lucky to be able to stand right at where the barrier blocked us off from the VIP standing area, so I could see really well. Then we had to wait for an hour before they started the concert. This part went by quickly, just us talking and taking photos of our surroundings before the staff came around to tell us not to. There were blue lights above the stage with smoke shining all around, and sometimes blinding me. There was also a low bass-ish background music.

The funny part was the fact that everyone thought the concert had finally started when it was actually just an ad playing on the screen for Asiana Airlines. Repeated three times. LOL. They stopped it and when it was finally 7pm, they played the opening film thingy, which was basically a 'news report' style introduction about 'aliens' coming to earth and the 'first exclusive' pictures of their spaceship etc. The american accent though! Loved it~ I was able to kind of film this part, though a security person came around and I had to turn it off quickly.

After that, it finally started with some random bits playing, I don't really remember and then One Shot came on. OMG, it was like perfection landed on the stage. I seriously sang to every word, and waved and everything. I was so absorbed, and the screaming. My ears were finally exposed for the first time to excessive fangirling. haha. I screamed too. A lot.

So, they did One Shot, transitioned to Badman (same background) then Power and Lovesick (I screamed so hard here - fave song ever). Lovesick was just so sweet and cute when they sang it. I am really happy that they did plenty of fan service throughout the concert. But I loved this. I think there was a bit before where they played a video showing Jokomato and Totomato talking about what was love. It was so cute!!

It kind of went like - (kind of brief cuz I can;t remember it all)

T- What is love? What is... love? Lub-bu?

J- Explains how love is what you feel when you really like someone. That your face goes red.

T- So love is SPICY?

J- NO! It is like... you want to kiss them and hug them. *screaming*

T- So... like a PUPPY?

J- NO! Are you an idiot? It's like when you only think about them.

T- So a FOOL?

J- WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND? Let's ask Yongguk.

And yeah. I can only remember this much... TT But yeah after Lovesick, they took a break, when some guy came onstage with a trolley of drinks. The background was of a cafe, so we all knew coffee shop was next. Basically they tried to talk in English and it was the most adorable thing ever. They interacted with fans which was pretty cute. But omg, two lucky fans were able to get drinks. It started with Zelo talking and then, he went to the left side of the stage and did fanservice and then one lucky girl got an orange juice from him. Ohhh so lucky! Then Himchan encouraged Jongup, and he was like do you want a coffeee~? haha. And everyone screamed YES!! Really loudly. He went to the right of the stage and talked some more then went back and got a coke/coffee? and gave it to another girl. Ahh, it's lucky to for them to get VIP.

After, they sang Coffee Shop. Duh. Then omg, this part. They started to sing S.N.S/Body and Soul? where they were on the ground doing that leg/hip thing. OMG, I screamed so loudly. Everyone was screaming. I swear to god, I would've fainted. But yeah, it was so unf. y~~

I think after, they went to get a costume change. And came back out to do Punch. Ah, it was nice being able to hear all these songs live. Then, it was No Mercy. I must admit, I danced to their chorus too. xD Bang x2 was after. Pretty awesome too. They talked a bit after this, and were talking about Australia in general.

D - How about beer?

Y - No no no

D - Then meat pies! *screaming*

Then costume change, then Rain Sound. Omg. I love this song so much too. They are just amazing. And every costume they wore was amazing, I want to be able to design clothes like that too. :D Flashy and fashionable! ^^ When they all went offstage, Jongup came on for his solo. I cannot even truly describe how perfect his dancing was. It was smooth, slow and just y. He pulled out a handkerchief and he was wearing a fedora and black blazer and white shirt and all and then he pulled off his jacket at the end. And he ended it with pulling hios shirt open to reveal his glorious abs! Damn, I wish I took a picture. But EVERYONE SCREAMED SO LOUDLY! It was crazy!

After that was Save me. There were other interludes before, but I can't really remember much. Too much excitement. They are such perfect beings in real life, I am glad to have seen them with my own eyes.

Check on was next but they did a teaching thing just before it. Basically it was like, if you master this dance, you'll be the best person in this universe (or something like that) and hormone controlling and happiness making and just, lol. So, two of them came on stage, I'm pretty sure it was B.A.P themselves, but they were wearing those silly horse head disguise, so you couldn't really tell, and there was a instrution video behind them teaching as well, showing B.A.P demonstratin the dance moves. Best part was that during the teaching, there was a part where the intruction was like, if you have no-one to clap hands with, do not hit the back of the person next to you. Haha. Daehyun in the video was like hitting Jongup(wearing a horse head) xD

So everyone in the crowd was dancing along to an 8-beat? and yeah, pretty funny. I danced too.

Moves were:

Head, shoulders, hip, clap. Head, shoulders, hip, clap. Brush left shoulder twice, brush right shoulder twice. Repeat. Then, nod head from left to right, to the beat. Then REPEAT!

I loved the video of them demonstrating. Then when it was the final session (there were about three sessions?) and everyone was doing the dance, there was the basic one and an advanced version showing Youngjae with over-exagerated moves. So funny but really cute. I don't even know who my bias is anymore, though I still love Zelo a lot more!!

B.A.P came on stage and did the same dance, with everyone doing the same and then continued. Everytime that section of the song came on (beginning of the song - that part that kinda slow and it throughout the song) everyone did the dance. Pretty fun!

Excuse me and Spy were next. A pretty awesome feeling, with hands raised and waving to the upbeat songs.

And then came Hurricane. For us, in the GA standing, it was hard to be able to jump up and down, but for the VIPs they were all jumping up and down and the club-by feeling. PAR-TAYY~

Omg, Dancing in the rain was next. I swear to god, Himchan was like 'y baby~" and just, all those feels! So much excitement! My heart just stuck in my throat from hearing this song. Ugh, they are just too much perfection.

There was a part where they were all like, 'We have go get changed now, so give us just 100 seconds' so everyone started counting and Daehyun pretended to strip as well as the others (I just couldn't see cuz I was too on the left side and people who were kinda tall were in the way). Yongguk did too, haha.

Hajima and Crash were next. So cute. I didn't even realise the transistion between the songs! There was a part where they freeze? and Daehyun pretends to smack Yongguk's , it was just a really cute thing.

There were talking after that, there were other talking bits, but I can't remember. But here they did the classic, 'AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE' and we all screamed back 'OI OI OI'. 'AUSSIE' 'OI' 'AUSSIE' 'OI' 'AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE' 'OI OI OI'! Lol. It was pretty cool of them to do so, remembering these little things (though no one really does this much in Australia, tbh. xD ) and they were like, we have one song left. etc.

Then they went offstage and everything went black. We literally all thought they were finished with the concert, but then everyone starts screaming 'ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!' and "B.A.P!" ahaha

They came back on (with muich screaming) and did 1004. I actually thought they weren't but omg, so freaking perfect. They are flawless. I love the JongLo part the most. But omg. They said things like, how they won first placee with Angel (Yongguk) and tahanked us. After that, they went offstage again and did those tweets things. But they're not actually on twitter, sadly T^T. But yeah. And everyone, once again thought the concert was over = more screaming.

They came back on one final time. Himchan was saying, "We're going to perform our debut song! Do you know what our debut song is?" "WARRIOR!" "Yeah, Warrior!"

And B.A.P starts singing. It is such a powerful song, I did manage to take some rather fuzzy photos. D: oh well. But I love them so much.

So yeah, lots of waving and such, they left the stage and voila, finito. Though Zelo lingered a bit, doing cartwheels and flips. Jongup did too. But Zelo was the last to leave. Yongguk received a tigger and some scarf? I think.

A bit sad but oh well.

There were some other bits in between songs where they talked and did fanservice. The good old 'Gwiyomi' with Zelo but he did it really really quickly. I can definitely see that Zelo has matured and I'm glad for that. He is so handsome and good looking. They are ALL so handsome and good looking.

I actually didn't think Yongguk's voice was that deep. Deep but not so much like when I watch weekly idol and such. It actually sounds really pleasant.

DaeJae's voices were freaking angellic. High notes were hit, singing = perfect. Himchan - this ulzzang is forever and ulzzang. Zelo and Jongup sang other songs too - Jongup sang the do you want a coffee? and Zelo sang the Happy song in this realy high voice, haha, that song that goes, clap along if you feel that happiness is the truth. 

During some of the songs, fanchants/singing was really cool. When it was some of the members parts, they would hold out their microphones and we would sing for them. They'd bow and then smile at us. It was really endearing to see that, though I basically sang through every song, every lyric and so on. And shouted the english parts, but my singing was really loud too xD. haha. The experience of synchronized fanchants feels really exhilirating!

Youngjae was really active with us, I think after 1004, where he was like, was do each of the members represent. Everyone shouted them out and so on and when it was his turn, it was just plain screaming instead of what he represented. haha. Lol. Daehyun was on the left side a lot, so I saw him plenty. I ... think I love him even more now. And Himchan too.

A really cute part, was Yongguk's 'Don't Push!' and his gummy smile whenever they took a break to talk to us. He said it often, though I don't really think any of the VIPs were listening much, I certainly didn't see any of them moving back.

I think during one of the songs - Excuse me, Spy, Crash etc, he had taken out his camera and took a photo of the crowd. But I bet the crowd looked really small, since there wasn't actually a lot of VIPs standing. There was a 2m gap between the last person at the back of the VIP crowd and the fence I stood behind. Seriously.

I've probably missed heaps of other parts of the concert, but I'm just so overwhelmed and even more in love with them that, I can barely remember it all - only in flashes and bits. Though, I really loved hearing them speaking in english and korean. I don't know who my bias is anymore.

I did try to take photos during some parts when I thought the security wasn't looking or the staff. But they're a bit blurry and some is just of the crowds, cuz I had to sort hide my camera. Haha.

Well, that's that. A bit messy, but a fanaccount nonetheless. ^^ I hope you enjoyed reading this~ I'm not good at describing it all but meh.

Love the concert, since it was my first one afterall and well, I feel like my life is complete. Almost. My friend even told me once, if you're over 16yrs old, you have already met the person you will marry in the future. So... there's 6 new potential people added to my list of future husbands~ Hahaha. ;D
