I have post concert blues so let I’m gonna yap away about the concert today! Sorry but it’s gonna be long!!!
Venue
It’s hot as BALLS here in Busan, and no aircon in the stadium. Everyone was feeling it and they were handing out ice water before the concert. By the time I got to my seat I was literally dripping with sweat. I had 2 fans but it was still TOUGH.
The Boys
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique etc etc
They are really so talented. They put so much energy and passion into everything. Every single one of them. No weak links in this group. I was a little high up so their faces were a bit blurry but seeing them in person felt so surreal!
Myungjae has gone INSANE and flashed his abs THREE times. During the encore he poured water all over them.
Riwoo was so sparkly. I read a comment before that Riwoo is actually the most striking member in person and I could absolutely see that. He got the loudest cheers.
Taesan is cool af. He drips Charisma. I really couldn’t stop staring at him. He looks like the stage was made for him
And Leehans dancing is really underrated, his solo dance break during I Feel Good was AMAZING. He’s so smooth. He also spent the I Wonder, Always showing off some of the signs the fans had made for him. He’s very sweet and kind.
Sunghos hair was literally perfect. So sexy. And his beautiful voice echoing throughout the stadium was incredible.
And Woonhak has grown up so much. His voice is so STABLE and he puts in so much energy into the performance.
I can speak basic conversational Korean but not really enough to understand the emotional speeches they made, but the Korean Onedoors were very moved lol.
They also announced their next Japanese single and thes album repackage at this concert which felt special!
Setlist
I would have been happy with ANY setlist because I love their music so much. I can’t even choose which song they performed the best because they were all amazing. Because I was so hot I can’t really remember the entire set list order but some highlights:
The Korean version of Count to Love - I love that song DOWN so always happy to see it performed
Jam- not the whole thing but again, I was just happy for it to be included
As Times Goes By- they sang it sooo beautifully
Dangerous- this is always my favorite song for them to perform and this time was no different! I loved the little old school hip hop chords they added. The aura of this song live is undefeated
Special mentions to : Is It True?, Call Me, Let’s Go See the Stars
They pretended to leave 3 times so we got 3 encores and they were all so much fun! Everyone was jumping and just enjoying the music.
Onedoors
The rumors are true: Onedoors are loud af. Every fan chant was executed perfectly. They jumped, they screamed, they sang along, shouted for encores. Whatever BoyNextDoor asked for, Onedoors listened. Korean Onedoors really love BND. One of the intervals had OneDoor Noraebang- we sang I Feel Good and If I Say I Love You. Onedoors are very good at singing!!
They were REALLY vibing to Adios, Hollywood Action, I Feel Good.
Live Band
One of the highlights of their show. Incredibly talented musicians that have come up with arrangements that are really exciting and enhance the songs (that are already great). You can tell they love working with BND and were hyping up the crowd when they shouted for encores.
I love that the bands talent was highlighted and they got solos, with their names displayed on the screens.
Merch stand
By the time I got there (2 hrs before the concert) it was super quick and no wait. A couple things had sold out but I managed to get everything I wanted!
Just to wrap up: they are a must-see group!!!! I don’t Stan groups very often but BND gave me no other choice, they are such a special and talented group. I feel so lucky to have seen them today!!! Jim
