Alright I just got back from LA concert so it's time for my shitty fan accounts!! WOO. I don't have any shitty videos to share this time because I heard they were pretty strict and I didn't want to get kicked out. At least it gave me the chance to fully absorb the experience, I didn't even fanchant
First I want to rant a little about the promoters and how shit before the concert was organized. Holy shit they confused a bunch of fans who had the Meet and Greet tickets. Maybe the night or 2 nights before the concert, people with E-tickets got an email saying their tickets were invalid. Later the promoters set out a notice that they just need to pick up their physical tickets at the venue, but some people bought them off other people. And to pick up those tickets you need their info. Well come concert day, shit changed again apparently and all you needed was an e-ticket again...I think there was some staff member was walking down the line and she was "yelling" (could barely hear wtf she was saying) this information to the crowd. From what I saw she barely walked down the long ass line so people in the back, like my friend, were confused as fuck on what to do. Had to ask some other person in line for this information.
Alright next was that they had ONE gigantic fucking line with Meet and Greet ticket holders, VIP General Audience, Regular General Audience, and the seated ticket holders. So that right there is just one big giant wtf man! I was hoping to expect at least 3 separate lines because I had a VIP General Audience and I'm supposed to get early admission and a shitty poster. But I lost out on a lot of information apparently because I needed a wristband they were passing out while people were waiting in line which I never saw! I'm pretty sure it was similar to how the MNG info was being passed along which was not very thoroughly relaying the information across...Oh well tho, I lucked out and got a good spot in the Pit and the poster sucked anyway.

Don't got much to say about the performances, we've all seen videos of it. Maybe just a few impromptu choreography that Bomi and Hayoung did in I forget which song lol. I was like super zoned in on Chorong though so I might have missed out on some good stuff. Damn is she a cutie~ I zoned in on Bomi and Naeun too but it was mostly Chorong. LA was also fucking hyyyyped. And Eunji, them vocals!! So good! I mean I saw em at KMF but didn't really get a good idea of just how well Eunji sings at that time.
When they finished the first two songs the MC came out and the members introduced themselves and had a few words to say to us in almost all English! Whaaaat. It was cute and funny. They all pretty much said oh it's great to be here and this is our last show and we're sad it's' coming to an end. Naeun looked like she had a complete brain fart and went blank. Either she was just so fucking tired or a little nervous. Mostly likely tired. As I said earlier LA was hyyyyped. MC and Eunji had to calm us down
. There was also a moment where Eunji said some long sentences in Korean and the crowd was just like YeaaaaAh and we couldn't hear the translator. Eunji was then like ahh you guys understood all that and we were like Yeaaaa! I had no idea what she said...
Alright Q&A time and requests!It was more like requests and one question. I think the question was asked to Chorong which was...what interesting habits do the members have? Hmm..and I don't remember what she said lol. The first request was like can the members do the aegyo confession song.
Someone was able to get it on video. It was uhh...I guess cute? Lol Anyway after that we started chanting, Chorong, Chorong! to get her to do it too. She ended up doing the gwiyomi song instead and as usual was cringing and yelling while she did it Lol. Second request was some lame heart relay and they just shot hearts to the crowd, nothing too interesting. Third request and maybe last? may have been another but it was like deadly aegyo. Hayoung was forced to do it and Bomi gave her an idea on what to do but Hayoung didn't do it well, so Bomi had to demonstrate it instead and Eunji was loving it lol. They were basically picking out hearts from their pockets and shoot em to the crowd. After that we tried to get Eunji do something too but she was nooo I ain't got that aegyo. She did a little something so it was all good in the end.
What's In a Box!So they were separated into the Unnie Team (Chorong, Bomi, Eunji) and the Dongsaeng Team (Naeun, Hayoung, Namjoo). So this game they have to put their hand inside the boxes but they dunno what it is. In the dongsaeng box it was them tapioca balls and in the unnie team it was a raw octopus. Dongsaeng went up first to put their hands down the hole
and Naeun was a little scared, and maybe hayoung too. Namjoo tho was freaked out lol. Eunji kept teasing that it was alive! Next was obviously Unnie team and Eunji was first to put her hands down the hole
. As usual, Eunji ain't scared of anything and handles it like a pro. She pretty much knew what it was and was saying that she likes it and eats it in Busan all the time. Bomi was next up and she freaked the fuck out lol. Someone managed to get that on video!
Chorong didn't react as crazily as Bomi but she was pretty scared to touch it too Lol. So both teams ended up guessing correctly and they just settled the winner with Rock Paper scissors. Bomi vs Namjoo. They were supposed to have their backs against each other but namjoo "cheated" and only Bomi was turned the other way so after Bomi chose her hand and Namjoo just chose what beat it lol. Obviously they did it again and Bomi won out! MC told us that the Unnie team has beaten the Dongsaeng team for this tour 3-1!
Their last words to us Basically said they're sad that it's the end of their showcase and their tour and time flies by quick. They hope that they'll come back soon, stuff like that. Bomi went all out in English and at one point struggled to figure out what she wanted to say which was super cute and funny. Loved the effort the girls put into speaking as much English as possible even though I'd be OK with Korean and having a translator. (BTW the translators were ok, but SUPER quiet on the mics).
BTW UP THE THE FUCKIN SKY YEAAAAA great way to end the concert. People started busting out their phones and Apink gave a few fanservice shots for them. And that was the end... T-T they ended up taking another group photo of Apink and the crowd because I'm pretty sure their pics ended up bad lol.
Other notes Eunji was freaking hilarious throughout the showcase. Speaking a bunch, in English too!, reacting with the crowd and all that shit. She did a great job at keeping the energy up and calming us down too when it needed to be
.
So yea...that's how it went, I honestly didn't expect a lot from this showcase, but I had a blast. It's probably one of my favorite K-Pop experiences so far. I hope to see them again >_<!
