A concert that lasted just short of 2 and a half hours
It was a surreal night with the experiences from the beginning until the end
Speaking about what I thought of the concert,
HS is better at managing the atmosphere
He talked a lot, and asked the audience to respond accordingly to what he asked for. For example whenever he said an old song was rearranged, he said that the fans should all cheer and go ‘Ho~~’ and so after that everyone was very cooperative and did so accordingly
And the chemistry with the band was even better. The few songs that were rearranged were very interestingly done. The different presentation gave it a different feeling, and with some simple lighting the atmosphere was really romantic
Also, HS did the aegyo dance most outstandingly out of all the dance. It was really cute, and when he shook his ass… I don’t know how many of us in the audience went crazy…
Actually this concert was simpler than the Seoul concert half a year ago. The stage and the duration wasn’t as good as the last one (the last one was about 3 hours long…) But it has the distinct qualities of a HS concert, which are - great stage, spectacular vocals and a surreal atmosphere
I have to mention, Singer Shin tripped and fell.
The stage was very dark and I guess he didn’t notice the steps
As the curtains came down and the photos of the fans were being shown, it was dark onstage and offstage. He might have been looking at the photos and didn’t pay attention to his feet and then we heard a loud sound…
At first we didn’t know what sound it was, except that it was the sound of something falling. Then after the photos were all shown HS was supposed to come on stage as the piano started playing, but when he didn’t come up after a long time I realized that HS was the one who fell. When he eventually walked out slowly I looked at him and I could tell that he was in pain and he was just bearing the pain quietly. He was quiet and the atmosphere was now different from just now where he cracked jokes and all so I started to get worried…
He sang ‘You Raise Me Up’ but in that kind of atmosphere I just started to cry… After that he said that the atmosphere was really awkward, and that he wanted a fun and lighthearted atmosphere from the beginning of the concert, and then evolve with more emotions but that fall screwed things up. For me, rather than to say it was a screw-up, it was more like a different emotion was triggered, I was moved by the brave responsibility of a singer
After that he didn’t move much, and luckily it was all ballads. Of course I didn’t want him to move anymore.
The last song was ‘Why Did You Call’ , and listening to it live really makes one feel sad. [It sounded like it came from his heart so I could feel the heartbreak in the song] How did he manage to sing it so well…how can this voice move people so much… Questions like this kept coming…
After this was the encore. Actually I didn’t want him to step out anymore, because when he came down the stage, he was walking normally where people could see. But I could see when he reached the side of the stage, he bent down and the staff rushed out to help him. Not many people could see that, so once the lights went out everyone started to shout for an encore. After some time, he walked out slowly.
Maybe he could feel that after the fall the fans weren’t in the same mood anymore. So the perfectionist in him tried ways and means to liven up the atmosphere. He said that coming onstage for an encore, the fans weren’t really enthusiastic when they shouted for an encore, and said that they should have cheered more loudly and so he pretended to walk off. Of course the fans protested and he made everyone cheer again by walking to the dark side of the stage. We shouted for an encore really loudly this time and Singer Shin walked out happily and started, pretending as if nothing has happened. Hehe.
He said because of the fall earlier, the desired atmosphere for the English song wasn’t achieved, but in fact the atmosphere was really good. The encore was ‘Same Thought’, and everyone sang along with him, and he ended the song perfectly. He then thanked everyone happily and earnestly for coming to see him.
What he said was really awesome:
Some simple words such as ‘love’ and ‘thanks’ can simply and directly convey the emotions of the speaker. So what I want to say to all of you is ‘Thanks’ [and he did a 90-degree bow]
ps
HS’s family members came by today, and then he said that his family has been urging him to get married and he joked that he was going to a matchmaking session. The fans all shouted ‘Andwae!’ (No way!)
After the concert ended the fans waited outside for a long time, and the fans didn’t scream when he came out after a long while, and just gave him a thumbs-up and saw him leave in the car. Everyone must be feeling his pain…
