Snapshots from the K-POP Music Fest in Sydney

"Is this crazy or what?" 

That was the only thought I had from the time I bought us tickets to the K-POP Music Fest Concert. 

The Husband and I are not fond of watching concerts.  The one and only concert we watched (one that I will always remember) happened years ago.  Although we enjoy music and watching artists perform on stage, there's something about concerts that we'd rather wait for the DVD and watch the show in the comfort of our home.  I fear big crowds that have a potential to be rowdy--there I said it.  I know, I'm such a coward haha. 

Anyway, when I learned about the K-POP Music Fest (thanks to my friend Trish who messaged me) and found out the line-up of performers, I got excited.  With so much hesitation, I gave in to that excitement and got us tickets the morning they went on pre-sale.

I got us tickets away from the front so we can be far from the more energetic fans.  We knew that most of the people who'd come would be young adults who may like to dance and jump around while we just want to watch, listen and enjoy the show.  So I intentionally got tickets in the silver section.  Luckily, we got good seats not too far behind from the front section. 

This is the first ever Hallyu concert in Australia to celebrate 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and Australia.

Here are some snapshots from the concert:

All the groups that performed at the K-POP Music Fest in Sydney

Highlights:

• Each group sang at least two to three of their hit songs.
• Dance showdown that featured SNSD's Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, Yoona and Yuri and Shinee;s Taemin and Minho.
• Song number from 2AM's Jo Kwon and Changmin, 4Minute's Gayoon and SISTAR's Hyorin.  They sang Beyonce' "Halo".
• Song production from BEAST's Yoseob, MBLAQ's G.O. and CN Blue.  They performed Huk Gak's "Through The Sky".
• Best highlight!  4Minute and Miss A performed Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head".  Such a sweet gesture to Australian fans for doing this.
• At the end of the concert, they called out all the groups to give a final bow and a group performance.  They sang "Arirang" then handed out autographed plastic balls to fans.

The show started at exactly 7:00PM and ended at 10:00PM.  I'm amazed at their punctuality and professionalism which resulted to no dull moments as groups came out the stage one after another.
 
The concert was a blast!  We really enjoyed it.  There were 11 groups that performed and the artists were all great and each production were visually entertaining.  The money we paid for and time we spent was all worth it.
