8eight's First Concert

Sorry for the delay~ Here are some pictures from 8eight's first mini-concert, which was held at Club Answer in Apgujeong on April 24th.
Chris and I had time to quickly say "annyung!" and wish them luck before the show.


The club was packed with people who stood in the rain for hours to get in. Fans came from all over the country (some even flew over from abroad) to see 8eight's first headlining concert.

The group sang all of their hits like "Forget About Love and Sing," "Let Me Go" and of course, "Heartless." They sang songs off of all 3 albums, performed special renditions of popular songs like "Oh, Happy Day!" and even read letters they had written to their fans. Each member shed tears at the concert, leading members of the audience to begin chanting "울지마! 울지마!/ Don't Cry! Don't Cry!" All those years of blood, sweat and tears have paid off and I'm glad they are doing well.
8eight's Showvival competitors-cum-friends, V.O.S. and Sweet Sorrow, performed at the concert as the group's special guests.


V.O.S.
(I didn't understand everything Kim Kyeong-Rok said that night, but I do know he was sassy!)

Sweet Sorrow
(Sorry, this is the best picture I could take. I was being pushed around by little girls in the audience--fangirls can be vicious! )



The concert lasted a little over 2 hours (maybe 2 and a half?) and Chris and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to 8eight and their manager for hooking us up :)

In other news, we were joined by Malaysian listeners and Hallyu fans Theresa and Molly.

We interviewed them on our daily show, KPOP Connection, and their enthusiasm was contagious.
Hope to see you two again in the future :)


I'll be posting another entry soon with pictures from Star Chat, so look out for that!
