KPOP Masters concert in Las Vegas - The Red Carpet
Ok, now that I remembered to do this I best do it before I forget everything that happened.
So the day of the concert was a pretty uneventful one until my mom, sister and I finally made it in to Vegas around 2:30. We were trying to get there by 2 so we'd have time to get ready and down to MGM Grand for the red carpet. When I say we were in Vegas at 2:30, it took us another 30 minutes to get to our hotel. For some reason my GPS decided to be a total fuck and take us in the complete wrong direction. Needless to say, we found the place and my sis and I took our time to get ready since we'd already missed our 3pm deadline.
We left the hotel around 4:15 after settling in and walked to MGM. Let me tell you, from where our hotel was we didn't fully realize just how much walking we'd be doing. We get to MGM and take the side entrance from the overpass instead of doing the smart thing and just walking the street. We walked practically the WHOLE LENGTH of the casino/hotel/inside city before getting to the arena, only to find out we could have just as easily avoided all of that and walked around the building. So, we made our way outside and there was already a fuckton of people. We saw two different groups of people: those for the Friday concert and those for the Saturday concert. Friday ticket holders had precedent over Saturday ticket holders, but do you think that stopped people? No. The security pretty much took people's word for it. I tell you though, the majority of the people who weren't supposed to be there were Shawols. Idek why they were there. Shinee wasn't going to be there til the next day (((thank god))). Anyway, the event was supposed to start at 5 but we later found out, despite the website saying so, they pushed it back to 6. Take into account, Vegas traffic and most of the celebrities were taking limos and such, that gave them 2 hours before the concert. Needless to say, we were all kinda pissed, but fuck if we weren't gonna wait.
So 6 rolls around and the first limo arrives! The dumbass woman interviewer mistakenly says it's Sistar so ofc I'm like "omg Hyorin!" but it turned out to be 4minute. The girls around kept talking like it was Sistar tho. They looked gorgeous. They were all wearing red and seriously, they are TINY. Like, there were a lot of people there and it was hard to see over them for the most part, but even standing on my tippy toes with my camera straight up in the air it was hard to catch them. After came Gina. Her and TVXQ were the only ones who wore something different on the red carpet than on stage. She looked much prettier in person I can tell you that. Pictures really don't capture her well, but in person she is quite stunning. Then came Sistar! They were FLAW FREE. All wearing these gorgeous gold, sparkly dresses! Hyorin spoke for them and sounded adorable.
4minute
I must interject: there were 3 hosts; two female, one male. The first woman spoke Korean and asked them questions like "Have you been here before? What do you think of the states?" then they'd move down to the English speaking hosts and the dumb fucking bitch kept asking EVERY ARTIST "Who are you wearing?" like we even fucking care. Most of them didn't know how to respond and said "our costumes." It was supremely irritating.
After Sistar came Brown Eyed Girls who, obviously, looked perfect. Narsha was waving to everyone and they were all smiling and were so sweet. When they got to the dumb bitch announcer and she asked her question, they were like, "....this is us." We all literally facepalmed cause we're like DUH WOMAN. When they did their walk around I could barely see them ;~; I tried to get a glance of Narsha but they were all so fast! I think they were really nervous.
MBLAQ. I fucking DIED. I saw Seungho with my own eyes T__T they were all dressed so well and spoke English very well, surprisingly. Joon was being adorable and making jokes and they waved as they made their walk around. Seriously such nice guys. They have a calming air about them.
Then. It was literally the moment I'd been waiting for all fucking day. Beast shows up and I fucking LOSE MY MIND. The first one I saw was Hyunseung then Junhyung and Dongwoon after, who was all smiles and waves, and Yoseob who looked like he was going to cry from nervousness (omg I just wanted to take him into my arms and feed him ;~;), and Doojoon after him who just looked like he owned the place. My toes were hurting so bad cause I was trying my damnedest to get video of them without completely dying. I had the best view of Doojoon, Yoseob, and Dongwoon. Okay, you know how everyone says they look so much better in person? Well, THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RIGHT. I didn't understand it until then, but ohmagad I was stunned into silence. Like. There are /no/ words to describe how beautiful they are. Their skin just...and their eyes...and jfc. I couldn't tear my eyes away from Dongwoon. He was in my direct line of vision (and sadly blocking Junhyung who was standing like a foot back than everyone else idk why) and he was the most approachable looking one. He kept looking out to the crowd and smiling at people and waving and just really paying attention to what was going on. I was losing my shit when they did there walk around as you'll see below

Then ofc, after Beast came TVXQ. My sister was going apeshit. I don't quite remember all that was said because I was concentrating less on what they were doing and still reeling from Beast. Regardless, I got a few pictures of them and they looked really good. I was in love with Changmin's hair but kind of in hate with Yunho's.
After that we all filed out of the area and made our way in to the arena but not before getting stopped by some paparazzi and getting interviewed! This woman seriously looked like Dara from 2ne1. It was a little scary. But she asked my sister and I who we were there to see and where we were from. Hopefully I get a hold of that video soon so I can share it!
Next time: the concert!! Look out for it! (((tired of typing)))
