On JYJ first concert in Spain and other KPOP thoughts

Just 27 days to go and I’m already excited! 

Yesterday I had an evening girls with a friend who introduced me into KPOP world and we talked about this concert and how we’re going to have the times of our lifes although she’s going to be sitted while I’ll be standing with tons of Cassiopeia next to me <3 

Two, or even one, year ago, I couldn’t think of going to any kpop concert unless I travel to Korea, spend almost 1000€ on a ticket plane and then get tickets there. But then, this May, our chance came: SMTOWN was going to Paris for 1 day (then 2 days because a lot of people couldn’t get their tickets) and I thought I couldn’t attend it because I knew my parents were going to be SO against this chance. I went to sleep crying in silence. Next morning, when I woke up, I went straight to the kitchen when my mum was and I talked to her, almost begging to go to Paris with my friends… and she said yes, but I had to ask my dad at night too. So both of them agreeded! I was almost jumping in joy: I was finally able to go to a kpop concert, and get a chance to see Super Junior, TVXQ, SHINee, f(x) and SNSD. 

When tickets for SMTOWN went on sale, Europe fought like there was no tomorrow, and yet, I got mine at 10.05AM. My hands were shacking, and I also skipped French class at uni to get them. I was the happier girl on the world at that time. After this, the time flew by although I had my final exams, and when I realized, I was flying to Paris. 

After this experience, I thought I was never going to be able to attend another concert… yet, JYJ first European tour was announced. My joy was bigger when their first date was in Spain. I won’t have to spend a huge amount of money to attend their concert because I live near Barcelona, just had to buy the ticket and the ticket train, but hey, it’s better than spend 200€ in a two-day trip :) 

As I was talking to another friend on MSN, we were sure we’re going to be surrounded by just JYJ fans that not care about TVXQ anymore, but you know what? I don’t care anymore. This year, I’ve seen Yunho and Changmin, and I can tell you it was one of my favourite part of the SMTOWN live because girl, they gave everything they had that moment. Of course Mirotic, Rising Sun and The way u are sounded weird and strange withouth Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu, but hey, TVXQ has also to do their thing. After all, they’ve been in the music industry for 7 magic years, although they’ve suffered a lot. I’m totally sure JYJ concert is going to be magical, amazing, full of energy but also full of moments to remember later on when we talk with our friends, or to our families telling them how our experience was. 

JYJ has been building such a difficult path because even their country rejects them and don’t let them promote their “In Heaven” album although their sales are more than brilliant. Come on, red edition of the album is totally sold out!!! and the pre-order sold 300.000 copies… this means something, right? Yes, that they’re still beloved. Cassiopeia STILL believes in them and want them to be part of TVXQ again. Just because of this, I want JYJ to have the time of their lifes in Spain, having fun with their Spanish and European fans, and to remember this concert as one of their best lives. 

Now, I want to say something to all these fans that are trying to “boycott” the concert in Spain: if this concert doesn’t works the way it has to work, say goodbye to your chance of seeing them live in Germany :) I don’t want to offend any fan nor start a fanwar, I’m just saying MY thing and thoughts, because I feel really pissed off seeing that French fans are saying they’re not coming here but they prefere to wait for Germany concert when ALL european fans went to the SMTOWN there, and we didn’t care where the concert were held. Please, if any German fan read this, DON’T MISUNDERSTAND ME!!! I know a german Cassie and she’s amazing and sweet. This goes against French fans, not German! 

Well…after all this thing, I have now a clear mind and I feel relieved. As Yunho said today in their fanmeeting in Beijing: “Cassiopeia is TVXQ 6th member”. If this sentence doesn’t say something to you, then you’re not a true Cassiopeia. 

Don’t take this as a movement to start a war, please… This is just a fan saying what she thinks. 

Thanks for read if you did ^^
