4/6 ooo vvip recap

i don't normally do big write-ups but this is primarily for people going to future shows with vvip that are anxious like me and need to know how it works. i just woke up and my brain is a jumbled mess so feel free to ask clarifying questions!

so yeah, my dumbass splurged and went for vvip tickets knowing that i don't like to be perceived but it was ooo, and thank god for tiered entry and the queueing system bc i got to the venue only an hour before they let us in for fansign. they scanned the ticket from my email at the check-in table right before security and then i was in. there were four separate lines for each tier but it was a little confusing once the line started to wrap around so i just...stood somewhere near a railing so i could lean on it. i thought staff would put us in order before entering but they didn't. they let us into the venue about 20 minutes to 6:00. i was queue number 222, so when the line started moving, i found #223 and just stood with them because it seemed like that's what you were supposed to do? but staff said it really didn't matter where you were in line.

when we got in, staff put us in rows based on the order we entered the venue, not based on queue number. they were very strict about where you needed to stand and i could hardly comprehend anything when they were explaining the rundown of fan engagements but i was pretty impressed by how systematic and organized it was when actually started because it ran like clockwork. staff is very good about guiding you and telling you where and when to go.

the boys walked in exactly at 6:00 on the dot. even though i was in the back, the venue was small so i could see them as they walked in. me and the people around me were just staring at each other like 🫢

then the fansign started, and it moved very fast. there's no sitting and talking with members. whatever you manage to say as they pass down your album (bring your own- only the cover may be signed) or poster (vvip benefit- 8.5x11 size) is it so make it count.

then it finally became my turn after 20 minutes or so. the order of members was junji, nine, yoojung, kb, mill, rie. my one regret is that i literally couldn't think of anything to say to them, other than "thank you" very enthusiastically. i did say happy birthday to junji and hand him his birthday card. he said thank you back and said "oh cake!" because i doodled a little cake that said "생일 축하해요" on the card. i handed everyone else their cards and kept saying thank you. on kyubin's envelope, i had it addressed to "hot guy" which he enjoyed very much and he kissed it 🙄 and then...lee sungho. y'all, that man is so insane. he's so terrifying. his eye contact was so incredibly intense like he is staring directly into your soul. in that moment, there was nobody else in that damn venue and if he hadn't handed me back my poster, i would've stayed and kept staring. anyway that was my y/n moment. he started making conversation with me, which i appreciate, so i was able to respond and act like a functioning human being. overall, the boys were all INSANELY good-looking irl. like...pictures and videos do not do them an ounce of justice.

after you get through fansign, you end up about back where you were originally standing and vip joins in behind in for the hi-touch and group photos at some point. it followed the same system as the fansign regarding how they moved us through the line. they had ten people at a time go up and high five the members, then stand behind them to take the photo. for the photo, the members are seated in chairs while fans stand behind, except the fans at both ends kneel next to the members. i stood behind mill. some people got to make heart hands with the members. i did not 😔 the staff took two pictures. i don't know where and how those get posted but i think they come out in a couple weeks? 🤷‍♀️

and then it was over with 45 minutes left before the show started. at that point, staff started calling out vvip queue numbers one by one for you to choose where to stand for the show. at our venue there are the main floor and two balconies, and i chose to stick to the main floor. there were maybe 7 people standing in front of me so i was quite close. i've had one barricade experience and realized it's not for me (can't see over my glasses), so i was pleased with how far i was from the stage. i was right in front of a speaker, which i later came to realize was uhh...not smart. i may need to invest in earplugs.

for the concert itself, i was originally not very happy with how short the setlist was but my legs were cramping and i had an awful stitch in my side by the end so it was fine for the sake of my well-being. the setlist was mostly the same except for the solos and encore. be mine and beat for solos and a song of ice&fire/angel/ooo you for encore (they did that for ME).

some highlights about the concert:

they are VERY good performers. super engaging and energetic. junji, mill, and kb do a lot of fan service. nine, yoojung, and rie mostly focus on the choreo but they completely kill it. they've all got great stage presence. also it's so satisfying to see their formations in person.

kb held nine by the neck at some point during gaslighting. unprompted. unprovoked. for no reason. that should have been me.

the members had us sing happy birthday to junji early on in the show. rie was YELLING happy birthday to junji in his ear. he kept acting very possessive toward junji throughout the night, it was hilarious.

kb told junji to blow a kiss at the audience, but junji leaned in toward kb instead. i love OnlyGayOf.

kb started acting like he was surfing for some reason. i think rie and junji? acted like the waves. they're so corny as usual, i love them.

they randomly started playing charades but that didn't work out so random long jump competition? i don't really know what was happening because i was distracted looking for my friend but rie lost and had to do a sexy dance punishment.

kb had us yelling HOIIINGYA multiple times throughout the show. he had us chanting in korean during the encore. he made us call him handsome and cool (멋있다, not 맛있다- he made that very clear), and he made us call nine cute 😤

junji's real birthday celebration was right before they took pics with the audience. they surprised him with a cake and we sang happy birthday twice. junji cried 🥺 mill had us chanting "don't cry!" then nine started chanting "cry, cry, cry!" which was so typical of wookjin behavior. then they also sang happy birthday to a girl in the audience, it was sweet.

they took song requests during one of the ments. kb told us to write the song name on your phone and hold it up. i tried to get picasso but i failed 😔 all i remember was byredo...and maybe desert?

wookjin sang daisy so my life is complete. also his body rolls bewitched me, body and soul 💀

and that's all! i go to a ton of concerts and i have high standards even for my faves but this was absolutely one of my favorites. i love these boys so much ❤️

The number 1 in numerology represents new beginnings. Double numbers, such as 11, 22, 33, etc... are master numbers. When the number 1 is doubled, it creates the 11 master number. This amplifies new beginnings in the form of manifestation. When you see 11:11 recurring, your guides are saying to keep your thoughts elevated, and focus on what you want. Its also a wish number, so make a wish today! #1111 #11:11 #numerology #wish #psychic #spiritual #spirituality #spirit #vibes #energy #atl #witchyvibes #witch #manifestation #awakening #spiritualawakening #psychicmedium #tarot #tarotreader #angelnumbers https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck2DypBLYc7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

To add to the anon about the guys not seeming to care anymore, I did meet them at a show over the summer and it sort of felt...stiff and bland, I guess would be the best way to put it. Alex was so so nice since I was so so shy. He stepped up first and obviously took the lead. Jack was too busy grabbing a drink from someone. Zack and Rian were...there? I made them all laugh, but I don't remember what I said. Alex no way wanted to touch anyone. No one. At all. No hugs. Nothing. I brushed against his arm and that was about it. No other hugs. No one wanted to be personal, ask a name, say thank you, nothing. Overall, I'm saying they were nice, super nice. But the entire vibe was really giving conveyer belt and the guys were indifferent to being there. I totally understand being tired or doing the same thing over and over every single day, but I really saw that for what it was. Nice guys reluctantly present.

goddd this so diplomatically well put and disappointing! On one hand, we understand the reluctance to be extra touchy or silly, right? But at the same time you're PAYING decent money to be on that fucking conveyor belt! You're putting pennies towards the farm ~tenant house remodel and gas guzzling rv trips for what? Even them at their best is a quick few seconds of polite interaction and not the long lost potential of chatty, personal moment of possibility to feel real or normal. A cute pic might be worth it to a lot dopes but people paying for this stuff keeps telling them it's ok and even on their best behavior it shouldn't be. Harking back to the prev, I guess pondering if they care is already a terrible measurement because what they used to be so fucking good at was making the business of it all feel personal, and now even if they really do care, the business structure is too apparent to feel personal. No amount of money is giving you what was free 8 years ago.

I cannot waaaaait to be home (even though I just remembered I forgot to change my sheets before leaving AUGH)

[leahhhlynnn]

if you told 13 year old me - running my fucking bandom instagram page in 2014 - that in 8 years I would be seeing mcr live, I genuinely have no idea how I would react. I probably wouldn’t believe it. It was such a different time then. We were obsessing over a band that seemingly had no hope of ever getting back together. Every possibility was shot down. Now look where we are. We’re the kids that stuck through it and I’m so fucking glad we did.

I know you probably don’t care but I agree that I think Collin might just be a little weirdo loner lol he doesn’t drink and if you watch interviews of him he is kinda very nerdy and very smart. He also seems to be a tad ocd like he vaccums their bus like twice a day and bought special towels so when they get left in a ball they still dry and don’t smell and get mildewy. I have no idea what he is doing when he isn’t with the band but they all have been friends for 15 years and are very close. There is also an interview with State Champs where Collin like talks about all this stuff he hates so maybe he is just weird and doesn’t like to do certain things. He is definitely an interesting subject that’s for sure. I also have a friend who is so conventionally attractive like so gorgeous but she grew into that and was an ugly duckling kid. She has her moments of knowing she’s hot af but sometimes the attention baffles her. she’s also kinda weird and a loner because she wasn’t a super popular kid. Maybe he has a case of that

Vacuums? Okay you’re now selling me.
