[FANACCOUNT] B.A.P LIVE ON EARTH 2014: London Attack 2014/04/27

Hi Everyone! 

Firstly, I want to apologise for how messy this is! And how I ramble on for something and quick on others. I don’t do fan accounts but some people asked me to do one so… this is will poor but I’ll give it a go!

Myself and my friends arrived at the venue at about 11am and it was utter chaos! Lines were down the one side of the venue but there was like 2 lines right next to each other. The general standing and o2 priority line… no IDEA where the seating lines were? And the VIP queue... well none existent and that never actually got sorted until at least an hour (if that) before the door was due to open for us. We kept asking the line supervisors or security guards or whatever they were and they had no idea. So yeah... Frustrated much! At some point Zelo waved through a window and sent everyone loopy!

Later they moved the VIPs round to the front THEN round the other side of the building so we were all lined up along the main road. The weather was overcast and it tried to rain a couple of time but thankfully didn't! Woo! And throughout the day, I met some lovely people ^^ (it was weird how some knew that I was ukbap… but hey!) They began letting us in at just after 6:30pm and gave us our VIP passes/lanyards on the way in. We saw the merch stall and went to find where we get our signed CDs for the high-five event which was in a room on the side. Got our CDs (BYG signedddd but no high-five ticket ><) then went to get merch and go into the main room. I think initially 2 of my friends found a high-five ticket in their CDs and me and another friend went back out to get another CD or 2 to try again (WE WANTED) and since we had our places and it was still only VIP, we had time before people started coming in. So we got to the merch stall again and got another one, I think it was Zelo signed this time. I opened it and nothing. Until something dropped off the back of the member card O.O (thank you my beautiful bias, Youngjae!) I had a moment.. a big one.. I went round the corner where no one could see me >< the merch peoples seemed amused XD all in all, 4 of our group had won. I wish we all had :( that would have been amazing!

I noticed people starting to come in so we kinda hot footed it back to our spots. And I ended up on the barrier WOOT! (I made a promise to myself that no matter how bad it got, I wouldn't move from that barrier. I seriously hate it when people call a group their babies… but B.A.P really are my babies, they mean so much to me that I’d deal it ^^) I had some real worried about how the turn out would be. But that was one the worries I needn't have bothered with. Yeah it wasn't sold out. But the place was crawling! And I was happy that it didn't look empty. So the people kept coming. And about half an hour before the concert, the screens came on so people got excited thinking they would should some MVs…  no… the same Asiana Airways advert was played three times before the screen went blank again. Thanks. I spent a lot of time checking out the sound equipment and lights (-.-) (The curse of Music Tech students XD) It’s kinda of a blur from there. Just waiting and flicking my lightstick on and off. Oh, had a little convo with some lovely young ladies behind me :)

Then the time came. (I’m reliving the feeling while writing this so I want to freak ><) The lights went and the screens popped on in the back. Screamsssss everywhere!! >< Being on the barrier, I could see EVERYTHING. I just.. I've been waiting for this since forever and I didn't know how to hold myself together. The intro was so cool. It was a sort of UFO sighting news bit. Kinda of clever since their supposed to be aliens, eh? Then it was B.A.P playing with the screen showing some lyrics in English, all red! I love it. People were getting into it already, singing along and lightsticks were going.

Then… One Shot started, the screens rose and the boys started walking out then BOOM! The places loses it and Yongguk's voice.. it broke me XD I was so overwhelmed I couldn't even. It was more like ugly dry sobbing that turned into screaming along to the lyrics. They went right into it and oh man! The place was going crazy and singing the lyrics out so loud with B.A.P.  It was amazing (;_____;) Their appearances, their voices, their choreo, just them! It was really happening! ^^ and it was hilarious because the security looked so surprised that we were singing along in Korean.

Next up was Badman. Oh god! I didn't realise how much I was looking forward seeing this song. It was incredible. And so energetic. (I looked a lot of fun ahh) I loved Zelo and Jongup's dance part and when it went into them swaying on the spot.. no idea why I love but I do XD again, I was just shouting along (I was happy to see them and didn't care how out of tune I was!)

Power… this is one of my favourite songs. I flipped out so bad! They did the original choreography which I was mad happy about ^^ though it was weird because I couldn't remember them doing the kick part in the chorus, but I’m watching fancams while writing this so kinda do now! A lot of people seemed to know they fanchants and whistle parts for that one and it was great. They made us shout out the hate you and ‘na na na na la la la’ parts XD Oh man, they warning parts! When they were squatted on the floor.. help! ^^ Love it allllll!!

I think after power that they went and changed clothes.. I think >< forgive me as my memory is rubbish. Ahh yeah! I think it was the VCR with Joko and Toto, ‘What Is Love?’ that was insanely cute!

Lovesick! One of my favourites off FS. The beginning of the choreo was so cute! They really looked like they were enjoying themselves. They did throughout the night which was so nice to see. They did a freaking human train! That was brilliant! But this song was great live!

Coffee Shop: .. they bought the coffee cart out which had what looked like the Starbucks logo on the front.. except it had a Matoki on it and STARBABYS instead of Starbucks XD (totally stole that for my Twitter name!) Zelo chose someone to give juice to and Jongup gave someone coffee.. I honestly thought Jongup was going to take a sit before he give it to them haha. Then the song came onnnnn. I don’t know what to say. I love the song so seeing it live, especially how smooth and relaxed it is. It was so nice!

Body & Soul… Body… and… Soul… no. I’m sorry! I flipped. That song causes me so much agro and I said I never wanted to see it live. Then someone sent from fancams from the US shows and OMG WHY DID THAT HAVE TO DO IT!!! I love it so much! Then they do THAT choreo and I can’t take it. So when they started performing it, I lost it! Then THAT part came up and I just… exploded. I won’t lie. I freaked the f*** out! And since Youngjae is my bias (with Daehyunnieeee) and he was right in front of me… no (;____;) and Daehyun's high note.. it just goes right through me and for him to do it live was insane! XD

Punch… oh man.. They came out in 2 separate groups. Youngjae, Daehyun and Zelo. Jongup, Yongguk and Himchan. I know Daejae were in the same group haha. But yessss, they came out in two groups on the opposite sides of the stage, with chairs which Youngjae and Jongup sat in while dancers and other members hovered around, threw towels in their heads. It was like they were prepping for a fight. It was quite cool actually! Youngjae and Jongup were head to head and pretended to fight. Anyway, the song was awesome! They got the crowd singing parts of the chorus for them! Then Youngjae kind of jumped on Jongup! It was so cute! (though probably wasn't supposed to be! ^^)

No Mercy… Ahhh this stageeee! They were all over the place and everyone was losing it. Then the chorus happened. I’m sorry, but Daehyun.. he enjoyed swinging his hips and thrusting like no one’s business. Honestly.. and I was so into watching them running around and performing that I forgot to chant when it got to the dance break. But wow! No Mercy live!

Bangx2: NOPE! No! Oh gosh! Being a rock fan, it felt like I was in my mid-teens again seeing my favourite rock groups. It was so cool! And Himchan’s scream ughhhhhh Kim Himchan Why!! It was incredibly fun and they looked like they were having so much fun!

Rain Sound: While they were off getting changed, we could see the staff setting up the chairs so I knew what was coming and oh lord! This was so nice to see live. They looked and sounded great! 

Jongup Solo.. He had a solo! He had a solo! He had a solo oh gosh! He came out in a suit and hat and pulled a hankie from his pocket. That boy can move I swear! His mic pack fell out of his pocket when he flipped. HE FLIPPED!!! >< and he still kept going. Then BOOM! Shirt comes flying open. But guess what happened.. the lights behind him flashed up as he did it so I only saw his silhouette.. how evil! I curse the lighting techs!

Save Me: I LOVE this song. And was so looking forward to this! I was far from disappointed. Such a beautiful song and seeing it love made me tear up <3 And since Jongup had to leave the stage to PUT ON A SHIRT after his solo, I had a moment where I thought it’d just be the other 5. But then he came out in a white jumper (sweater) and I could see... things (-.-) But they performed it flawlessly!

Check On: B.A.P weren't on stage at this point but DANCERS IN HORSE HEADS CAME OUT!! And the VCR in the back had the members. They were teaching us some choreo points that we’d need for the next song XD but they had made it so that they were like… manipulating our ‘hormones’ for some experiment or something like that! It was fun. They were demonstrating on screen aswell, even down to emotions to show. Oh god haha! Then they came about out and performed XD and we had to do those choreo points! I had a bag balancing on the barrier though so it was kind of hard. But I still had fun with it!

Excuse Me: EXCUSE ME!! One of my favourites from Badman! I love the backing screens aswell. It was so bright and really added to the mood of the song! UGH! I think this was one of the songs where Daehyun and Youngjae kept coming over and I swear there were a couple of eye contact moments.. yeah! I remember forgetting the lyrics when it happened one time.. Youngjae.. stop ><

Spy: Spyyyyy!! I love this! They song and them performing the song! It looked so fun!! Yongguk's wiggle! And the members trying to lift Zelo's shirt at some point. They looked like they just had fun with the stage and it was great!

Talk Session: I’m a complete flake when it comes to talk sessions. I can barely remember what they said. Though half of it was hard to make out because of the damn echo on the mics.. please techie peoples! Sort yourselves out >< but for each session, they made people laugh and got people cheering and shouting. They also tried to find out who the most popular member was. (They were so cute omg) and I thinkkkkk Zelo won? I also vaguely remember them saying English cities (most likely football clubs because I remember hearing Manchester, Chelsea and Arsenal haha) Of course Daehyun had to shout Harry Potter at some point and Himchan's “Fish & Chips”. Yeah, I remember random things from each talk but can’t remember WHICH talk session they did it. If we could hear them clearer I mean have been able to do a better job at this one. Either way, they were adorable <3

Hurricane: Ahh… this was one I was worried about because of the whole NYC thing? Thankfully many people agreed with me that singing loof wouldn't be appropriate. But I was still worried that it would happen. But I tried to enjoy the song anyway and it was fantastic! So bouncy and energetic! Then can THAT part… and Himchan had to stick the mic out for the crowd to sing. BUT I heard Roof.. not Loof.. Thank you everyone! That was a huge weight lifted and his face was a picture! ^^ He looked so happy! He threw us a heart and a thumbs up! SUCCESS!!

Dancing In The Rain/Haijma: DANCING IN THE RAIN IS OUR JAM!! It was over far too quick! As much as I was singing along, that damn Youngjae came over and I ended up fluffing up the line XD while he was watching (-.-) They forced Himchan to dance! He did some wiggles and kept turning around so we could see from all angles XD and Hajima! The BangHim thrust! I’m sorry, but I love that part! The choreography is so cute! And they had such bright faces, I could have burst! ^^

Talk??: (Refer back to the first talk bit XD)

Crash: I’m actually unsure as to whether Crash was before or after a talk sesh… ahh ignore me! ^^ But oh god! All I remember of this was Gukkie and how much he was on our side and all smiley and dancing along and Jongup! And Himchan taking pics for StrongBabe! I’ll be up all in that! XD hopefully my lightstick is covering my face >< back to Yongguk for a second.. I loved the jeans he was wearing! Ripped with chains over them.. want! But ahh! He looked so happy! ><

 I actually think they said something before AND after Crash because then they went to change. And this is probably where that tweet video was? That was so sweet and people were going crazy over that %%

1004: HOLY SWEET LORD! They came out in white.. WHITE! They look so good in white! Everyone lost it to this. And it was amazing! Jongup and Zelo's dance abit at the beginning was great! ^^ I don’t know what else to say about this because it was just flawless. To me, it was anyway.

Talk: Ahhhh okay! I definitely remember Himchan urging people to shout out what their debut song was and kept going until he was happy with the volume that we shrieked it at! Haha. Then I think they went the change their outfits and said they’d be back in 100 seconds… which we were trolled near the end because it stopped and we needed to shout loud enough for it to continue. Getting sassed by a timer? “REEEEEEAAAALLLLLLYYYY??” haha ^^

Warrior: This is it! THE B.A.P song! Their debut song. Ahhhh! Everyone and I mean anyone who had whistles got them out! This was probably the one song where they fanchant and whistle parts were spot on! I kept forgetting to use my whistle all the way through but this song, I had it ready! The security looked baffled! But the boys gave everything they had left and finished the concert off nicely.. Not nicely.. FAN-FLIPPING-TASTICALLY!! Though it was sad that it was the last song :( they came round to say thank you and goodbye. Ahhh I didn't want it to end! Zelo came over and squatted to say bye and look at us.

I’m going to clear up the whole “he got hit with chewed gum” story. I was on the barrier. I saw everything. He stood up and I saw a small white/pink thing fly over my head and bounce off his chest and hit the floor. I saw very very clearly (it was right in front of me) that it was a gummy Haribo heart. (Not gum and certainly not chewed.. ew). While I’m annoyed that it was thrown, he took it like a trooper and played on it. He pulled a “omfg what was that” face and looked to see what it was before throwing his hand up and pretending to fall back. (Only 4 things were thrown near the end of the concert, 2 small stuffed toys and a flag included. Plus something in a plastic bag that never actually made it onto the stage. THAT is all.) I don’t condone the throwing of anything, and if that had hurt him, I’d be severely p*ssed.

Overall Concert experience: I, personally, didn't experience anything bad. Other that having to hold my bag on the barrier (I bought merch and stuffed it in and didn't want it to get lost to kept it up high to be safe). But other than that, It didn’t seem so bad. I heard about some stuff that happened. But even then, for a concert in the UK, that was quite tame. It’s completely normal for there to be pushing, especially in standing. It gets hot with all the bodies so close together. But I think I managed to obtain a place where I avoided any of the pushing. One of the managers made a regular appearance at the front. Honestly, he looked abit moody BUT he was sweet. I've never experienced a groups manager walk along the front fanning fans for the duration of the concert. At some points, he even got up and helped give people water that needed it. I sweated abit (who doesn't?). I cried.. duh? It’s B.A.P! XD I don’t know what else to say here but I had a fantastic time! Every second was amazing! And the fact that I could share it with my friends and fellow BABYs made it even better! And to see 6 of the most important people to me killing it on stage, looking like they were having the time of their lives, was worth all the work, stress, worry and waiting. I was looking forward to this for months and they outdid all expectations I had. I’m so proud of them <3 And they are all absolutely stunning in person. Like, you think they are good looking. But no. Pictures, videos and seeing them through a screen is NOTHING to how gorgeous they actually are.

High-Five Event: AHHHHHH!! AHHHHHH!! Did this happen?? Did it?? I couldn't believe it when I found the ticket! I stuffed it in my bag away from the CD just incase I somehow lost the CD or someone thought they’d try and be smart and nab it off me. Nope! Wasn't going to happen. There was a small sign in the foyer which was the event meeting point so we waited there. The security guards checked out tickets and told us to go upstairs.. oh god. Me and Izzy kinda stopped at the bottom of the stairs for a minute.. until we got moved on. We went in the room at the top and saw the table set out and went to the end of the line and found our other two friends. I’d be lying if I said I wasn't close to a panic attack. I won’t say much on the Twisted Talent guy who gave us ‘instructions’ because he was a total ass. B.A.P must have come in because I heard some squeals. And the line started moving. It was so weird. And I didn't realise how close I’d gotten until I looked up and saw them.. NOPE!!

Order goes: Jongup, Zelo, Yongguk, Youngjae, Daehyun and Himchan.

I walked up to Jongup with my hand over my face. They were really there omg! He looked so cuteeee! So smiley! We high fived and he said thank you! They all said thank you and oh lord, their voices went right through me. And they are all considerably taller than me.. YES!

Next up was Zelo. Ahh! My bag got caught on the table so I missed his hand! His face! He looked (jokingly) offended! I felt like a right idiot! And to make me feel even more shy and embarrassed, they laughed at me! They.. laughed.. at.. me! I made a mistake by looking at Yongguk and he was just giggling at me. (I think I died abit inside XD) On the second attempt, he decided to troll me and kept flicking his hand around. Oh god Zelo why! He then allowed me to actually high five him.. omg that kid!!

Then to make it even worse, as I moved to Yongguk, my bag got stuck again! Oh my godddd! And Zelo! He leaned over to try and move it for me! I had to forgive him for that! >< Yongguk was still giggling when I high fived him omg why is his smile so pretty!!

Then was my bias.. Youngjae.. I am very surprised that I could look at him without wanting to cry. He is so pretty! Ahh! His voice when he said thank you! I feel like such an idiot but I was stunned by him! Obviously I said thank you back as I did to all of them. But woah!

Daehyun.. bias number 2.. similar to Youngjae. My eyes went straight to his lips though. I couldn't help it! His smile is so beautiful! I don't even know what to say about him. I don't know how to translate incoherent noises into words ^^ 

Himchan! He was smiling but also had some sort of “I’m sexy and I know” kind of vibe.. it was awesome! (He didn't seem stuck up in the slightest! I just don't know how to word it) He, too, is freaking stunning. And his voice.. eek!  I don’t know why, but I remember looking at his neck. I think it was because I went the look down as I walked away.

All of their hands were so soft. We couldn't get over how soft they were! And so warm! ^^

It kind of hit me that that was it from them and I got abit overwhelmed as I left.  The night was over way to fast and I really miss them now. Post-concert depression is not cool!

Thank you B.A.P for coming to London. We were lucky to get you this year. I have no idea when you will be back, but I will see you again ^^ I’m so proud of each and every one of you! We love you~<3
