A big thanks to AY for translating this delightful fan account! Since the fan didn’t take any pictures, I’m adding a few random ones featuring SeungGi’s watermelon pillow. 😆
(In the afternoon, the weather was fine, so I decided to set off!! It was the big day and I could not just let it pass by. At first, I thought it would be at Alpensia. But I got there and did not see any signs of any activity.)
In fact, there had been very little information on the event. So I left. I guessed it was not easy to get into a private event after all. At that moment, I saw a few tour buses drove by. It was near the Yongpyong Dome, which is on the way out from Alpensia. As a tour bus made a left turn, I saw the logo of the company on the side of the bus. That was the company I was looking for. Daebak!
It was around 2 or 3 pm. I thought, “There is still a long wait for the performance.” So I did not go home and decided to have a late lunch/dinner with my friends at the Hanwoo Village. (And I paid for it too!) After dinner, I told my friends that Seung Gi was coming and we decided to return to Yongpyong Dome again.
Uh, there were too many staff outside and it looked like it would be very difficult for us to get in there. The staff were all wearing the same uniform. Even if we sneak in, we would be easily caught. We gave up the thought of going in but still, it would be nice just to stand outside and listen to his singing. So we waited at the parking lot outside the dome. Suddenly, a black van pulled up behind my car. It did not come through the toll gate. It came from the resort where I was the day before. Looked like Seung Gi spent some time there. And I was not aware of it!!!
Now that Seung Gi had arrived, the event was about to begin. The voice of Teacher Lee Sun Hee was heard. I thought I was inside the arena. Oh, no! I was just hypnotizing myself. Let me spread my wings of imagination and enjoy the performance. Do you really understand how I felt, knowing that Seung Gi was inside and I could not go in? After a few performances, a low male voice flew from inside the arena to the open air and came into me ears. Oh, it’s Seung Gi!! I was going crazy!
The first song I heard was ‘Return’. When I heard it, I could not stand it anymore. The beautiful voice aroused the emotions in my heart. I pulled myself together, straightened up the expression on my face and, without any specific plans, walked up to the gate and asked, “Can I go in?” The staff replied, “Please go in.”!!!! Just like that, he let me in. Because I was so nervous, I was quivering when I asked the question. But the staff let me in without any hesitation. I am really, really grateful to him. Now that I think about it, I am still very thankful. Kudos to his understanding. I think I’d better change my cosmetics too.
I ran inside and heard him sing “Will you Marry Me”, “Smile Boy”, “Because You’re my Woman”, “Let’s Go On Vacation”, and ‘Slave”. The only performance that I did not see was “Return”. After I got in, I heard what I could not hear outside–the screaming of the employees (audience). The whole stadium was hot. No one was sitting on the chairs. Everyone was on their feet, gathering in front of the stage. The Seung Gi on stage was the modern Kangchi. The modern Kangchi that came out from TV was standing on the stage, handsome as ever, singing the sweet “Will You Marry Me?”
After this, Seung Gi took off his jacket amidst the squeals of delight. Everyone loved it and screamed at the top of their voice. “This jacket is not mine. So I can’t throw it to you,” he said. After he took off the jacket, it was time for some running around. I like his fast and passionate stage. He was happy, running, hopping like a rabbit, taking up the entire stage. Thanks to him, I could get to see him close even though I was standing at the side.
The audience were very passionate and they enjoyed the show. It was really hot. Seung Gi’s face and T-shirt were drenched with sweats. There was another climax while he was singing “Let’s Go on Vacation”. A female fan could not control her excitement and ran up the stage and hugged him. No!!! Although the staff immediately rushed up there, it was too late. She had hugged him. Frankly, I was a bit jealous. I was touched to see that although Seung Gi was a bit surprised, he gave a polite and considerate response.
And then he said, “Now it’s the last song. It is a song that you are not very familiar with (I don’t remember what he said after this). I will sing “Slave’.” Because it is a song that I like, I just screamed, “Ah!!!”–just like this, because I really like this song. As he finished singing ‘Slave’, a completely soaking wet Seung Gi slowly descended from the stage, leaving behind an air of happiness and contentment.
Enveloped in the joy of having just seen Seung Gi, I started my car. Seung Gi’s van, which was parked just outside the dome showed up again! Flashing the hazard lights, the car slowly drove out. Curious, I tried to see what was going on. Oh, the manager who did not get on the van was running from behind. Due to him, I got a few more glimpses of the van. After the manager finally got on, the van sped away.
Because I saw Seung Gi and sang with him, all my stresses flew away. Sure enough, when you see a Seung Gi that is full of positive energy, you get charged and filled up with such energy too. The experience from yesterday will become the energy that fills up my frivolous life. And the fan account of yesterday’s event ends here.
Seung Gi said to all of us who did not want to see him leave, “We will meet again on the 16th!” I was so into the event that I did not even take any pictures or videos. For all of you who read the fan account, I am sorry.
