This post will be in English...why? Just because I can't express my feelings in Finnish...I'm weird. Aaaanyway, let's get to it. So, this post is about a kpop concert in Helsinki Finland. A South-Korean kpop boygroup started their Europe tour on February 27th in Paris, France and on March 1st they came to Finland. It was their first time visiting Finland and they seemed very surprised about the fact that they actually have a lot of fans here.
So. We went to Helsinki on Sunday. We took the earliest train, which left at 8.44 am. We arrived in Helsinki at 10.48. We stayed at Hotel Seurahuone (mainly because it was really cheap atm). We succeeded to do an early check-in and after that went straight ahead to do the check up for the waiting line. The concert was held at The Circus (it is a nightclub basically) and our waiting numbers were 249 & 250...sigh. I heard that the first people had been waiting since 12pm...sooo almost 12 hours before we even came to Helsinki. Wow. So, we got out numbers and went to Kamppi to warm up a bit. I mean, it was pretty cold that day...the final check up was at..3pm? We did several check ups but after the final one we had to stay still the whole time until we got inside. I admit. I wasn't prepared for the coldness. I was freezing. Oh well, the thoughts about getting to see blockb soon kept us warm. Kind of.
We waited for over an hour and then the staff came outside to give us our tickets and wristbands (only for the vips). And the active fellow fans gave us the lightsticks and banners. The banners were cool. Good job guys.
I'm so glad that we had the early+m&g tickets cause we were freezing and obviously "early" stands for early entry so we got inside before the general tickets. Even though our line numbers were kind of big we still got to the row 8 (just assuming it was about the eight row). And during the concert we moved like to the fifth row because of the other fans pushing us. I didn't know what to expect at all (meaning the concert). I was excited but I couldn't just comprehend that the boys were actually in Finland. And that we were in the same building and breathing the freaking same air...The concert wasn't my first kpop concert BUT it was my first in Finland. I had seen blockb once before in Busan, in Korea but this time was compleately different.
I wish I could write about the members and what awesome stuff they did but...I can almost remember nothing..it sucks. And there happened soooo much stuff that I refuse to write about all of it. Besides, go to youtube and search for blockb in finland/in helsinki and you'll find a bunch of videos from the concert. It was great. The most memorable things for me were zico's dance on the floor on his knees (no don't you dare think about dirty stuff!!), po's butt dance..oh dear.. AND ukwon's Ievan polkka -song. It was like..the best. Also the boys said that the Finnish fans gave the best response and that it was the most memorable concert for them ever. The last song was very good rough ver. and we all were singing along and jumping like crazy. The crowd was almost too hot to handle so they threw water at us...like..thanks. I truly needed it but I had to give up on the idea of looking somewhat decent at the fansign..it was their fault though :D OHOHOH! Almost forgot! Taeil kissing bbomb on the cheek. Aaand tiptoeing while at it. So cute ^^
That's all I'm going to say about the concert itself. Let's move on to the fansign shall we. The boys went to freshen up a bit and we were organized into lines. Then line by line people went to this small seperate room and came out some crying, others smiling from ear to ear. When it was our turn, I started to freak out. The Finnish staff member told us not to touch the boys and we laughed together because the two fans infront of me were crying already :D I seriously can't remember how they were seated but the first one was bbomb (bbutt/bbum) and he stretched his hand and had this 'gimme the paper' look in his eyes lol. I remember thinking that damnnn he looks good and also that he had a lot of eyeliner on haha. Next one was zico and I compleately missed him. My Korean-speaking friend was infront of me in the line so he focused on her. I was dissapointed but luckily that feeling was long gone after the photo later. Also I don't know if he looked at me or not cause I was staring at ukwon at this point already. So...I don't know who is my bias...I mean..atm it's probably Kyung but I also like ukwon and zico alooot. And po got me all messed up inside because of his butt dance haha. And bbomb...so handsome. Jaehyo so sweet and little taeil is so cute. Sorry oppa. Ukwon's eyecontact melted me totally. It was just agsjalsksl. I can't remember his facial expressions nor what did he say...I just melted. Ukwon was like little miss sunshine throughout the whole evening and I was so happy. He gained a lot of points and respect from me! He was so happy. Next one was either jaehyo or kyung. I feel like I skipped Jaehyo or something cause I can't remember anything about him and I hate myself for that. HOW CAN I NOT REMEMBER THAT HANDSOME FACE?!!! Then Kyung..I stared at Kyung the whole concert...he looked as if he was crying at the beginning and I had to fight the urge not to bounce on the stage and hug him and tell him shhh it's okay. Lol. I think that the reason why I remember nothing about jaehyo is kyung's fault. I blurted out something like "you're the best" and put my thumbs up 👍👍 aaand again I remember nothing...I think he smiled like toothysmile or something...maaan I don't know. His eyes were like puppy's and I felt like crying. So freaking cute. Then was taeil, he was really nice..ARGH I CAN'T REMEBER IF THEY SAID HELLO OR HI OR WHAT! He said thank you for sure though. Po was the last one and he sat awkwardly at the end of the table. He signed the paper (don't remember if had eyecontact or not) and said "kiitos". Basically the whole fansign is also blurrrr. Sigh. At the beginning of the concert I was like "YEAS NOW LOOK AT THEM AND LOOK AT THEM GOOOD SO THAT YOU'LL REMEMBER EVERYTHING!!" (I learned something from my previous mistakes in Korea) BUT NOOO I did remember everything at first but it's like everything got erased off of my memory. Blockb did you sneak into our hotel room and took my memories or what..
The picture...I was the last one getting to stand infront of the boys (thank gosh I didn't have to crouch down) and I feel like I'll look like an idiot in the picture. Well we'll see about that later. I could only see ukwon and zico's faces when we left and yeah the all waved at us and we got to do highfives with them both (evil laugh) and I got to stare at zico's eyes so what happened earlier was forgotten. And ukwon has really sexy eyes. That sounds just weird but it is true. So we left giggling embarrasingly and when I looked back I saw jaehyo (ATLEAST I REMEMBER HIM FROM THERE!) sitting weirdly above everybody else on top of..something? Chair? Table? I don't know.
And that was it.
Ps. When we were waiting outside the blockb staffdude came outside and filmed both (early and general) waitinglines. We waved at the camera excitedly even though I looked frozen and my face was probably as red as my jacket. But since it was all for the boys, I don't care. Sorry for the horribly long post, now some pictures and links. Here you goooo~
Cr mine
KISS! (Not mine)
I actually do know which belongs to whom. (Cr mine)
Kyung found this pic from somewhere apparently and posted it. Awesome! Also koreaboo and allkpop wrote about the succesful concert blockb had in Finland!
Even zico himself said that the concert in Finland was great. It's the tweet in the middle.
I have an awesome video I recorded myself (atleast the sound quality is super) but I can't upload it here. So lastly I'll link you someone's ukwon video.
AND
Thank you for reading and a huge thank you for mmt for bringing these boys to us and ofcourse THANK YOU BLOCKB! Finnish BBCs are waiting for you and trusting that you'll come again! <3
