Wonder Girls and 2pm Concert

Yes, I have finally stopped being lazy and decided to type up my experience at the Wonder Girls and 2PM concert at the House of Blues in Anaheim. I would have done this the day after the concert but I was so tired and sore that I ended up not doing it. So, I was like, "Okay. I'll do it the next day." I was uploading my videos on YouTube and picking out the pics that I found decent enough to put on the blog. Once I finished the photos and watermarking it, I saw that whenever you upload a YouTube video it takes HELLA long for it to fckin load so I ended up doing the rest of the videos today since yesterday I was out the whole entire day with my friends. So, here we are and I'm going to start writing the experience right now.

I woke up around 8:20am and it was so hard to do that because I usually wake up around 10am. Yes, that's bad but that doesn't concern us right now in this post. Anyways, I got all ready and even made an effort with how I looked like. I even straightened my hair! When it comes to kpeen I have to go all out and make myself presentable at least. The original plan was that we would leave around noon and get there around 1PM but after my friend Sarah mentioned that some fans arrived at the LA show at 9AM we decided to make it earlier. So we left around 10AM and I was sort of nervous and excited because this would be the first time I'm driving people on the freeway other than Neenr. I don't really drive the freeway that often so it was an exciting moment for sure. So I picked everyone up and we arrived at the House of Blues in Downtown Disney.


This is how the House of Blues looked like and trust me, this whole place was filled with lines of fans much later in the day. We walked around for a bit like getting drinks at Jamba Juice and looking at stuff at a store called Sephora which had make up things like eyeliners, blush, mascara, etc. We all bought food from Wetzel Pretzel and went back to the House of Blues and sat down to what we thought was the line. It was confusing because there were two lines and we didn't know which one was the right one. The main reason why was that we had VIP tickets so we weren't sure if there was a different line for us or something. So to pass the time I just took some random photos of my friends.


So yes, we were just waiting in line and I had some korean pocky with me which as you can see, my friends wanted to eat. Just some fun pics that I wanted to post. Now, the excitement and the moments begin.

I was just standing and we were situated on the right side of the House of Blues. I was looking up at the balcony, the second level of the place and I saw someone come out of it. The guy was wearing a red cap and a gray shirt and I just knew that it was none other than 2PM's maknae, CHANSUNG!!! But then when I averted my eyes down to my level I saw someone else walk out from somewhere and headed towards the stairs of the House of Blues and I saw that it was also a 2PM member, WOOYOUNG!!! Wooyoung was wearing a plain white shirt and if I remember correctly he was wearing black rimmed glasses as well. Anyways, it looked like the two of them switched. Chansung walked down the stairs and decided to walk around Downtown Disney with a noona and someone else while Wooyoung walked up the stairs. Honestly, I was just watching Chansung walk right by in front of us while my friends were recording and taking pics of it. I mean, you would think that seeing him already back in May for KMF I wouldn't spazz as much. Oh how wrong I was...I was still as stunned as I was before. When he finally was out of eye sight Sarah immediately told my cousin, Neenr, that now would be the best time for her to go up to him and get her Men's Health magazine with HIM ON IT signed. Neenr wasn't sure but we pushed her and she ended up going with Mary and Jenny and followed Chansung. So that just left Sarah, Meggie and I at our spot in the supposed line. At least 2omins went by and the three never came back and we were really hoping that Neenr got her magazine signed. Right after we were talking about that, we overheard a girl that was bout 3 people down from us ask out loud of the girl that was going to pass us was a Wonder Girl's member. We looked in that direction and it was...YOOBIN! Honestly, she is SO BEAUTIFUL in person and SO SKINNY! I didn't think she was THAT skinny but in real life...she really is. A girl went up to her and asked for a picture and she complied! That was so nice of her. There was a guy with Yoobin and he was the one that took the picture. The guy that was with her is someone we are familiar with because we saw a good amount of him at the Sherton hotel during the KMF weekend. Hell, we were even in the elevator with him. So we guessed that he was their stylist or something. Anyways, back to what I was saying. After that one girl that took a picture with Yoobin, the stylist sort of hinted no more and they were on their merry way.

Now it was Sarah's turn. She didn't know if she should go after her and get a signature. She kept on hesitating until Meggie pushed her and the two of them went after her. So...that just left me alone. Keeping our spot..while the others were stalking kpop idols. There I was, holding onto my bag with my hands on top of it. I would check my phone from time to time just to see what time it was. I went on twitter and read tweets and tweeted things. Yup...it was great. Go ahead. I'll give you guys a couple of seconds to feel bad for me or sad that I was left alone. *waits a couple of seconds* Ok, that's enough. It may not have been that long but it seemed like a while so I started to text my friends and such if they succeeded in meeting them and getting signatures. While I was texting one of them I got a call from Meggie. I answered it and she told me this.

Meggie: Hey, come to the World of Disney right now. Quickly.
Me: What? Where is that?
Meggie: The place that Sarah wanted to go in earlier. Just come here!
Me: (already left line) I still don't know where you want me to come. Is it far?
Meggie: Sort of. Just run over here! Quickly!
Me: Fine! Alright, whatever.

Honestly...I was a little bit 'grr' because I really didn't know where I was going. I almost just got over it and not even bother with trying to get there quickly but just walk. I reached the store and got in. I walked around a bit but I still didn't know where everyone else is and took my cell out and called Meggie. The minute I called Meggie and started to walk around someone walked right by me with their hood up. I looked at the person and it was..SUNYE from Wonder Girls. We made eye contact and once we passed each other I didn't even hear Meggie on the other line because I could not believe that I just passed by a Wonder Girl's member. I ended up hanging up the phone because I actually saw her right after that quick encounter. I started to freak out a bit because I told them that I just passed by and saw Sunye. Then Meggie told me that Chansung is here and I turned around and there he was! Apparently all of them got Chansung's signature and Meggie told me to go to Chansung and ask him for one too. He kept on walking and THANK YOU ot one of the woman that they were with because she picked up an outfit or something and showed them, including Chansung, which made them stop walking and laugh. You know how in some stores the have like an aisle of merchandise in the middle of a hallway? Well that was where they were. On the right side there were fan girls who were taking pictures and everything until one of the guys told them to please stop. He wasn't mean about it which was cool. I had my album out and already opened to his page but I didn't know how to approach him till Meggie told me to go on the other side. I was so nervous so it was a good thing that Meggie pushed me to do this. So...this is what happened.

I walked over the left side and there was no one on that side. I felt nervous because he was around the noonas and stylists. There weren't fans on that side. I found myself like an inch behind him and I wasn't sure on how to get his attention. I know that kpop idols don't like to be touched and such so I sort of hesitated thinking of what to do. What I ended up doing was slowly tapping him on his left shoulder and he turned around to look at me. I swear, I'm SO GLAD that I didn't go blank when I made eye contact with him and acted like an idiot. My voice was a bit timid but I showed him my album and asked "Can you sign?" Now, I really thought that he was going to say no and reject me because what he said sounded like, "Ah...um, nn-ok." I honestly think that if I didn't have my album already opened to his picture he would have said no but because it was already there and I had the pen ready, might as well do it. So, THANK GOODNESS I opted to opening it to his page already. And did I forget to mention that he is FCKIN TALL?! Like...damn! I was just a bit above his shoulders but I had to look up..and I don't look up that often. Anyways, he took my album and the silver sharpie. Now for some strange reason, the thought of getting it personalized never comes across my mind. I was just waiting for him to sign it and then give it back to me. But then he looked at me and asked with his cute engrish, "What ur name?" Again, I am SO GLAD that my brain was STILL FUNCTIONING! Not only is this gorgeous UNF kpeen literally close enough for me to jump his bones, we made EYE CONTACT and spoke to me in his sexy ENGRISH! Damn...well, I'm also happy that he asked me what my name is because it is now VERY personal. Chansung had already written the 'To' part when I said, "Jessica." I thought this was the CUTEST thing ever. He had the sharpie ready to write my name and when I said 'Jessica' I literally saw his hand freeze right next to the 'To.' I heard him sort of mumble my name slowly and I got the hint. I opened my mouth and said, "J...E...S...S...ICA." I had to spell out my name for him! Maybe I'm just being ridiculous but I thought that was really cute...haha! I didn't really pause in between the last three letters which made him stop and ask me again. It was after I said 'I' that he asked, "Uh...C..A?" I nodded and replied with a "Yea" and he finally finished writing my name. So I watched him sign my name and looked at his face a couple of times...pictures really do not do this man justice. He is so good-looking and cute...anyways, I don't know if it takes a while for him to do his signature but it felt like it took at least 2mins for him to finish it. Not that I mind of course, gave me a longer time to be close to Chansung. He was done with his signature and he handed me back my album and I bent my body forward a bit and said "Kamsahamnida" to him where he did the same thing back. I turned around and looked for Meggie but she was actually right behind me during the whole thing! We walked around the display stuff and I saw everyone else and I was spazzing with them. I GOT CHANSUNG'S SIGNATURE!!! OMG!! I can still replay in my mind the whole entire moment this happened and it's so surreal to me!


sighs...it's amazing isn't it? Honestly, I'm not sure on how this comes out to be Chansung...but I don't care! He signed it and his hands TOUCHED my album. Just imagine where those hands could have gone.

So, after that my group of friend and I headed back to the House of Blues to see if we were able to get our spots back. It was a good thing that we talked a bit to the girls that were next to us because they kept our spots for us. The next small thing that happened was that we heard girls starting to scream. We were wondering on why they were screaming and assumed that someone came out to the balcony on the second floor. The rest of us decided to go and look and it was WOOYOUNG. Again, I didn't take pics of this. I just watched. Lol! It was cute because he looked at us, the fans, and he was all smiling and waved to us. It was nice of him to come out and do that. He may have done a peace sign if I remember correctly and once he was done he waved goodbye and went back inside the House of Blues. Now, this whole entire day I had no sense of what time it was. So I don't know how long it was after Wooyoung went back in that I saw CHANSUNG again. I guess he was done with his walking around Downtown Disney and jogged back to the House of Blues, running up the stairs. Girls were screaming, including us, things like "Whoo! Chansung!" or "Run Chansung Run!" or "I love 2pm! Whoo!" I had my eyes on him the whole entire time and once he reached the top the stairs to go the second floor he had this big grin on his face. I knew what that face meant. It was a totally 'Oh yeah...all these girls love me.' And you know what Chansung, yes we do!

After that happened, that's when all the waiting happened and let me say....it was horrible. The organization of the whole ordeal was just crazy. We didn't know where to go and there was no VIP line yet. Then this one guard guy was giving out wristbands and we had no idea what they were for. So finally when they told us the details and we were put in our lines. It literally felt like forever that whole time. Only two things happened during our wait for the Wonder Girls and 2PM photo opportunity.

1) When I first saw Wooyoung earlier that day, there was a guy holding a camera that was recording. That same guy was walking around and taking vids of the people in the lines. There was like...roughly 3 or 4 lines that were created. Once he went to our line we just said that typical things such as 'I love 2PM and Wonder Girls' and such. Jenny had a poster so she unfolded it and showed it to the camera. After that he went off to the other lines. While he was off to the other lines, I suddenly thought of something. I told Neenr that she should go and catch his attention again and show him her Men's Health magazine that has Chansung on it. The rest of us agreed and I honestly thought that if she did that she would probably not be edited out for whatever that video is for. Because really...she was, or IS the only girl that had that magazine. He was already almost done with the line that he was recording and Neenr was hesitating. I kept telling her to do it but she was stalling. So I told her that I would do it with her so she held onto my shirt and I walked over towards him. We got his attention and Neenr lifted her magazine. I saw the cameraman smile a bit and I was pointing at the magazine saying 'Men's Health' and then a couple of seconds later we walked away with me saying '2PM yeah!'

2) Okay. I understand that yelling and screaming are a VERY common reaction when you see a kpeen. For people in the US who aren't able to see these kpeens live like the fangirls in Korea, it is only normal for us to spazz when we see them. But come on, BE REASONABLE! While I was standing with my friends in line, I glanced at the second floor of the House of Blues and I saw someone in a red plaid shirt standing near a pillar like thing. I guess he decided to come out and see how many fans were outside. The minute he came out...some FANGIRL started to scream. Oh no...not just any ordinary scream. It sounded like she was DYING or something. I call it the BANSHEE scream. It was just horrible and the girl WOULD NOT STOP! And because of that ear piercing scream, the guy immediately turned around and walked back inside with his drink in hand. So, he basically just walked out for a couple of seconds and went back. The kpeen that came out was...JUNSU. Thanks a lot banshee girl. Junsu could have stayed outside longer.

The worst part was really the waiting. We heard that we would be going in and taking the photos at around 5PM. It was already passed 5PM and it was close to becoming 6PM. Of course during all that waiting one's mind begins to start thinking. We all knew that the supposed 'Meet and Greet' isn't really a meet and greet. It was said that it's pretty much a go in and go out type procedure. The majority of us began to think that we paid too much for something like that. You couldn't even hand give them the gifts that you have for them. You had to place them on a table that will then be gathered and given to them. I don't know...we paid $100 more for this meet and greet and to us we thought that it wasn't that worth it. But let me say this...the minute it was time for us to take the pictures with the Wonder Girls and 2PM...it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! Lol!

So it was time for the pictures. We had to get our cameras ready with flash because the place was dark inside. I got in and the first group that I was going to take a pic with was Wonder Girls.


I walked over to them and they are REALLY beautiful. Like...wow. I stood where I was directed to stand and then I was totally surprised when Sunye just put her hands on my shoulder and arm. They were all smiles and welcoming. I only remember the members Yenny, Sunye and Sohee. I think I only glanced at Yoobin and Hae Lim. What I noticed while looking at this photo is that...well, the Wonder Girls are short. I'm already their height and I wasn't wearing any heels. I love Yoobin's hair. If I was allowed to dye my hair again, I would want her red hair color. Once it was over I got my camera and looked over at them and thanked them. They returned the greeting with waves and thanks you's as well. So I walked around and waited in line to take a pic with 2PM. Then...it was my turn.


*stares at the pic*....oh! Sorry, I couldn't help but keep on staring at this pic. Anyways, my experience. So I went in and gave the woman my camera and turned around to look at 2PM for the first time. Well, not really the first time since I saw them during my KMF experience..but you get what I mean. Anyways, when I turned around I sort of hesitated a bit not knowing where I'm supposed to stand. I believe that Khun and Junho got the hint because they both moved and gestured with their hands for me to stand in between them. Khun said, "Here" while Junho said, "Come! Come! Here." Now, the woman was ready to take the picture and I saw her push the button..but nothing happened. Another lame thing about the new camera is that you have to push hard or kind of get the timing right for it to take the shot. So as nothing happened and we were waiting, I still had the smile on my face but I quietly did the 'You've-got-to-be-kidding-me' laugh because I could not believe that my camera wasn't working at this very moment. But then I heard someone say "Pressuh button." I'm like...90% sure that it was WOOYOUNG who said it. His engrish is so cute and he's the member that rarely speaks english. Now I know how good-looking Khun is, but I just couldn't stop spazzing about Junho. He was SO NICE and welcoming. When I situated myself in between the two of him I felt Junho was telling me to get closer. Which, of course I did and I love how Junho bent down because it felt like he wanted to get closer. But that wasn't the best part! As we were all posing for the picture and waiting for the woman to take it, I felt a hand on my back...and it was JUNHO's HAND! ALSO! I could feel him hovering over me and his CHEST was against MY BACK! Just imagining his body against mine doesn't closely match up to how it actually felt. After staring at the pic for a long time...I realized how close Khun's and Junho's PEEN was to me. Also, you can see some Woo bulge...I love it. I like how the majority of them were smiling and Wooyoung is even showing teeth! At first I didn't like Junsu's pose but now I think he looks really cute leaning on Chansung like that. As you can see from the photo, Taecyeon is the only one who isn't smiling. To be honesty, I don't remember seeing Taecyeon or Junsu. The people that I remember seeing are Khun and Junho while I only got a glance at Chansung and Wooyoung. I know, how can I NOT see Taeceyon? Hell, he's my bias for 2PM! It's because that he was on the end and when I entered my eyes were at the woman who was gonna take the photo. Then when I turned to look at them, I don't know why but Khun and Junho just seemed to look brighter than everyone else...like there was a glow or something. Lol! I know...how weird. The photo was taken and I got my camera and looked back at 2PM and said thank you while they said the same thing back along with 'Enjoy the show' type comments.

I was going to go and write about how I felt about how a bit scary it was to be shoved by a mass of people trying to go down the stairs, or how it felt a sauna being in the crowd being so close to people that you were pretty much getting intimate with total strangers. But that's just too much to write so I'm going to post the videos and pics that I took of the concert. So lets start with the only decent pics that I took.

So these are all of the photos that turned out decent during the concert. Even though I'm angry that my camera isn't as good as I thought it was, I did get some good shots. I got some Taek bulge pics, one where it looks like Junsu is looking into my camera and smiling pics of Junsu and Wooyoung. I understand that there is only ONE pic of Wonder Girls but its a pretty good pic don't ya think? I truly believe that Yoobin is so pretty and I love Yenny because she looks HEALTHY! She's not a twig and I think that's awesome. I was only able to record 3 of the 5 performances that 2PM did and I only got the first two performance and the beginning of the third when it came to the Wonder Girls because my camera died. Here are my vids.




Those are the videos that I took. I have to say that my favorite video is probably 2PM's 10 out of 10 because I was able to catch the whole entire song and the Junho butt grab from Khun. I also captured the flips at the end and 2PM saying good bye. The last video with Wonder Girls dancing sexy got cut because that was when my camera died. I only really have one thing to say about these vids. Now, I love fanboys. I think they're cool because they're into kpop. But I was not a fan of the FANBOY that was in front of me. He told us that he wasn't much of a fan of 2PM so my friends and I thought that we don't have to worry about him. But no. He must of lied because the hand and video in the 2PM vids are HIS hand. I was even on a STEP which means that he was really tall. He just kept blocking my line of vision and when the Wonder Girls came on, he went crazy! He knew the choreography for all of their popular songs and danced it like he was just by himself. He was so close and the way he was dancing up on me, let's just say that the way I would let him dance like that is if he was buying me lunch the next day.

Anyways, the concert ended around 10:30PM? Honestly, I really do not remember when the concert ended. I know that we hung out at Downtown Disney for roughly an hour and arrived home around midnight. These are two things that I got.


The picture on the left is a brochure that was just laying around near the bar and I decided to take one. It was cool that you could see a picture of the Wonder Girls and 2PM on the 12th of June. Then the picture on the right was given to me after I was done taking pics with the two groups. It's kind of like a poster of the Wonder Girls that's the size of a typical printer paper.

So when I came home, I was totally EXHAUSTED! I sat on my bed and it felt SO GOOD since I've been standing for literally the whole day and it didn't help that I was enclosed in a place with people against me from every side with half of my foot on only HALF of the step for roughly an hour. As I was sitting down I looked at my feet and I saw that my veins were popping out! I have never seen that before and I was like whoa! I'm assuming that was the only time the blood was able to flow through freely. I thought it looked cool while my mom was a bit worried. Haha!


Yes. It's what you think it is. These are pics of my feet after the concert with my veins popping out. I know, it's odd to post pics of my feet and it's probably something that you DO NOT WANT to see. But you know what? Whatever...I wanted to post them.

So overall, I really had a great day with surprisingly no regrets. I'm usually someone who would have at least ONE regret and it would bother me because I would have wished that I did it. I had a couple during my B2ST encounters and Kpop idol sightings but during this concert I really didn't have any. I felt quite content. If I had to say one regret it would be that I didn't say 'Dream Team fighting' to Junho but then Neenr reminded me that he has a twitter and I can tweet it to him. After I heard that the dark cloud above me suddenly went away. Sure, the chance of Junho reading my tweet is slim but he COULD have read it. That's why I can say that I have no regrets of the concert. 2PM did say that they'll be coming back real soon and I hope it they'll perform in Anaheim again.


Here's a pic that I took right when I came home. I changed my clothes and was all comfortable. I have to say though, after all the pushing and such...the messy hair look isn't that bad. Lol! So, PEACE OUT!!
