Korean band 2PM rock the house

Korean band 2PM rock the house

Hallyu fever in Malaysia rose to its hottest frenzy as K-pop sensation 2PM enthralled fans at Stadium Negara last Friday.
HOW do I love thee? Let me count the ways. ... A hottie by any other name would still smell as sweet ...”
Excuse my lyrical hyperboles, but South Korean boyband 2PM proved to be real poetry in motion at the Malaysian leg of their 2PM Hands Up Asia Tour last Friday night.
The strapping young men lithely leapt and bounced up and down the stage performing their upbeat hits, then swayed smoulderingly to the pulsing amorous rhythms and even got down on their knees for their swooning fans!
Tantalising: 2PM lads (from left) Junho, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Nichkhun, Junsu and Chansung rocking Stadium Negara at their 2PM Hands Up Asia Tour concert last Friday.
But all last week before the show, I was caught up in this niggling puzzle – what is it with their name “2PM”?
To many of the more “sophisticated” (read: older) music lovers, the names of the Korean bands are a curiosity. As one esteemed music critic once mulled: “Why do they all sound like flight numbers – TVXQ, 2NE1, SNSD, SS501, MH 3435?”
Then there are the clock-related ones – 2PM, 2AM, 4Minute, 30 Seconds to Mars… oh, the last one is not Korean?
Do Koreans have a thing about time, I pondered?
I decided to venture where fans fear to tread in case their membership to the Hottest (2PM’s official fanclub) is revoked, and ask the big question.
“Eh?” snapped one fan, before fleeing as far away as possible from this “crazy” reporter.
“I don’t think Koreans have a thing about time. You see, 2PM’s songs are suitable at 2pm and 2AM’s songs (love ballads) are good at 2am,” lectured a buzzing Jufadilla Jamaldin, who had waited at KLIA for her favourite idols to arrive late last Wednesday.
“It’s because it is the hottest time of the day,” one irate Jasmine retorted, the curt “Duh!” trailing silently.
As the time for the concert to start drew near, 2PM’s first ever in Malaysia, all these questions were drowned by the youthful hormones permeating Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur. And when the lights went down, the erupting screams instantly jettisoned them out of mind.
The curtain dropped, and the fireworks began, as the six hunks kicked off the show with an aptly titled number, Hot. Before the crowd could calm their drumming bodies, they thumped out their next booming tune, Electricity. And when the boys threw their hands up for the title track of their latest album Hands Up, the crowd’s rapture rose to a frenzy.
Yup, 2PM was definitely here in KL, and they seemed mighty fine even after 8.30pm!
The squealing got louder when the boys took the time to greet the fans, and introduced themselves one by one – Junsu, Junho, Nichkhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung and Chansung.
Although their rapport was clearly scripted, the six genuinely tried to connect with their Malaysian fans. Taecyeon and Nichkhun, who grew up in the United States, dominated the banter, while Junsu (who lived in Singapore when he was younger), also charmed the crowd with his fluent English. But it was Junho who got the loudest cheers as he tried out his rehearsed Bahasa Malaysia lines, especially when he promised: “Saya akan balik lagi!” (I’ll come back).
One thing for sure, 2PM really know how to work the crowd as they continued to regale the fans with their high tempo hits and signature macho moves.
The boys got the fans not only to sing along but also dance in time to the powerful beats of their chart-topping numbers.
It was not all frenetic energy, though, as they also performed some romantic ditties to melt the already-liquified hearts in the arena.
Temperatures rose when the boys transformed into suave crooners decked in smart suits to serenade the crowd with their love ode, I Can’t.
Then Taecyeon and Nickhun strutted out in matching, updated zoot suits to wow the crowd with their sentimental duet My Valentine.
But what is K-pop lurve without the “fanservice”, and this the six lads duly delivered by throwing out roses to the adulating fans while serenading them with Only You.
To make the fans feel closer to their idols, the boys even treated them to a behind-the-scene video, giving them a glimpse of the lives of each member as they prepared for the big tour. Filmed through the eyes of Chansung’s celebrity pet cat Jeonggam, it gave a cheeky take of the group.
Many, however, were waiting for a peek of their six-packs, and the boys did not disappoint. As they seductively rocked and thrusted their hips to the steamy Back 2U, their female background dancers suddenly ripped off their shirts, sending the crowd into delirious excitement.
It is no wonder that the Hottest lovingly tag the band as “Beastly Idols”. Heck, the American press have even dubbed 2PM as the Chippendales (a touring dance troupe best known for its male erotic dancing) of K-pop.
The band also put to rest the doubts – well some at least – about their individual music talents with their solo and duet performances, including Junsu who sang his own composition Alive.
Junho sang his self-penned Besides You in a duet with Wooyoung, who also did the choreography for the performance.
Chansung, the baby rapper of the group, upped the stakes with ... wait for it, a swordfight on stage! What a drama it was with its mix of multimedia and shadow play to tell the story of how he avenged the death of his girlfriend, who was murdered in a dark alley. This can be one awesome audition for a sageuk (Korean period drama) role, if he ever needs one; you hear me, drama producers?
They may be first and foremost eye-candy, but 2PM showed that they are not too shabby in the music department that night.
After all, they were named the most influential star and Daum’s Search Hot Star at the Mnet 20’s CHOICE awards 2010 in South Korea. Following their show in the US last month, the New York Daily News picked them as one of “Top 5 must-hear K-pop acts”.
To many a Hottest’s sorrow, the two-and-a-half-hour concert flew by in a blink (they performed 24 songs in total), but luckily Chansung decided to leave a memento.
As his bandmates swaggered offstage, he turned around and whipped off his shirt. The fans’ screams got impossibly louder, pleading for him to throw them the sweat-soaked shirt but, sigh, he only gestured a throw to the hankering girls, before disappearing backstage with a cheeky grin. (In other venues, ahem, other bandmembers whipped off their shirts too and actually threw them into the lion-ettes’ den!)
Well, don’t cry Hottests, like Junho promised, they akan balik lagi....

2PM Hottest story : D-DAY!

25.11.2011
The day i've been waiting for. My 1st ever KPOP concert. 2PM HANDS UP ASIA TOUR MALAYSIA.

Sebelah siang tuh kami pegi KTO office dulu sebab nak register as SKC member. Then skali gus amik pamplet Korean tour tuk jadi reference nanti.


Sempat juga try pakai Hanbok kat sini. Tak payah tunggu smpai Korea dulu. Di KTO office ni mcm2 kelas ada. Kelas bahasa korea, KPOP dance, Korean food cooking class pun ada. Yang tak beshnya sume kelas tuh on weekdays.

Then on the night. Masa yang di tunggu menjelang tiba. Masa gi kat tmpat parking kereta di pintu blakang stadium nampak ada beberapa Hottest tunggu. Sembang2 jap baru tau nanti 2PM akan masuk ikut situ. So decide untuk tunggu. Tunggu punya tunggu alih2 family Nichkhun smpai dulu. Sume Hottest dah excited lagi2 la aku pasal sebelum ni dah tau jadual flight derang masa cek 2pm nye flight. Family Nickhun ni sangat best! Sempat la shakehands & amik gambar dengan derang. Tak dpt jmpa Nickhun jmpa famili dia pun jadi la. Sebelum ni nengok dalam program WGM & Running man je ni live depan mata. Sempat gak bg tau Khun mom's yg aku nengok dia dlm program tuh. Ni pic kat bawah ni dengan adik Khun Cheerleen.. Cantik sungguh.


Lebih kurang jam 7 lebih baru van yg bwk 2PM smpai dpt nengok dari jauh la derang turun van terus masuk stadium. lepas tuh belari2 la sume terus ke entrance stadium plak

8.15pm opening act dari artist local Chinese nama tak ingat plak. Stadium penuh dengan Hottest!

8.30 Concert bermula. Tak mau citer panjang layan gambar okeh.

Fans service from the boys to rockpit hottest.

Jun.K Alive! Whole stadium shouting AliVe! Alive!
Jun.K Deabak!

Taec fan service! Jeles ngan girls yg dpt bunga.


2PM yang sinonim dengan acrobatic dance.


Angel turn Demon?
What ever it is Khunnie noona saranghae!


Semua gambar dari kamera aku. Seat kita orang memang jauh di belakang tp dpt nengok centre stage. Da boys sngat active lari sana lari sini. Hottest yang duduk dekat free seat besh gila pasal derang lari tepi stage tuh. Fan service sangat tip top lagi2 Taec siap lari pegi kat fans.
Masa closing speach 2PM promise will come back next year. Junho-ssi sangat comel bila ckp " Saya akan balek lagi!" We will waiting for u boys. Sangat worth it. show memang best gila.
Next year definately if takda anything i want to go.

Me ada juga amik a few video tapi tak banyak coz nak concentrate on concert. Jufa dah upload a few kat youtube channel dia.

2PM Hottest story part 2

24/11/2011

Pergi KL Central cari gift tuk derang. At first aku tak tepikir pun nak bagi gift tapi member yg beriya nak bagi kat bias dia. So me ckp tumpang sekaki la. Dok pening pikir apa nak bagi tetiba telintas hankerchief batik silk . So beli sorang satu tuk setiap member & canting nama derang kat situ. Bagi juga sekali poscard Malaysia.

Then ke KL Central jmpa Nana also a Hottest to pass the gift. Nana beli rock pit ticket & menang lucky draw so dpt la Hi5 session dengan 2PM kat Hilton hotel. Nana berbaik hati nak passkan our gift to 2PM. Memula ingat nak tulung Nana bwkkan gift dia yg bnyk ke Hilton. Bila dah smpai & jmpa plak hottest lain mula lepak situ tunggu sama. Ada jugak yg tak dpt pass hi5 tp stay jugak kat Hilton. Memang dok tambah kawan baru je. Sudahnya hadiah kitaorg pass kat Sarah another hottest sebab Nana bnyk giler gift dia. Kat sana nmpk la jugak hadiah2 dari hottest lain macam2 kot. Hopefully derang bukak hadiah kami & suka. Saja pilih bercirikan Malaysia. Hampir smpai jam lepak kat situ decide balik je. tak sanggup nak dok situ jeles kot nengok derang dah beratur tunggu dipanggil masuk huhuhuhu
Balik dengan perasan cemburu huhuhuhu. Layan fan cam je la.

Lupa plak kat KL Sentral ni kantoi plak jmpa ngan adik. Dia pun pelik awak tetiba aku ada merewang kat situ. Jawapan den jalan2 cari jodoh. Malas nak panjang cerita pasal dia suka perli2 pasal minat Kpop aku nih. Tup tup malam tuh tetiba ada plak makcik den anto sms pasal jodoh aishh.. sabar je la.

2PM Hottest story part 1

Beberapa hari sebelum tuh sibuk bukan main mencari info. Terpaksa juga mengacau kawan2 yang berkenaan untuk mendapat informasi yang boleh di percayai. Thanks to Korean Hottest yang share info about their departures. Gigih okeh sanggup pergi ke KLIA just to welcome 2PM to Malaysia. Once confirm flight detail set dengan member plan tuk ke Klia. Nasib baik arrival time tuh after office hour. Turut join sama cik caja, walaupun dia tak minat 2PM.

Arrived at KLIA jam 9 mlm, flight derang dijangka tiba 10.40. Time ni busy mengalahkan apa je dok call hottest lain tnya info mana pintu derang akan keluar. so kami servay dulu vip departures area then decide to wait at arrivals je. Hottest lain pun ramai kat situ gak so budget kat arrivals la. Waktu tuh atlet sukan sea pun baru balik derang pun cam konfius ramai gila orang tunggu hehhehe.

Dang! tetiba dengar orang jerit2. Call member tanya confirm derang dh smpai keluar kat pintu departures. nak jadi cerita tempat 1st kita org servay. Bila dpt news je berlari la sume2 hottest dari bawah ke atas. Hamik begegar satu KLIA. Smpai kat atas sume dah line up. Jufa & Caja pegi depan aku stay kat ujung barisan tuh je. Once derang muncul je suma dah mcm histeria.
Seriously aku tak nmpak Baby woo, Junho & junsu sbb hottest dah tolak menolak. spek dah almost tercabut dah. Lepas betulkan spek dangggggg. Tekesima jap Nichkhun lalu depan mata. Omoooooo side view pun ensem okeh, then follow by Chansung serius je muka lepas tuh Taecyeon wahhhh taec senyum sweet gila jelas kot lesung pipit dia. Lepas tuh baru teringat ehh aku tak amik pic or vid. sudah nye just nmpak taec dari blakang je dlm video aku.
Hottest dah belari2 follow derang ke van. Ada pakcik ni tanya dik napa korang sume ni lari2 sapa datang? Sebut Korean artist geleng pala je derang.
Me follow smpai van nak amik gambar konon. tapi blur gila share gak la satu. si Caja lagi semangat dia awal2 lagi dah pegi ke van tuh.
Rasanya ini la 1st & last kot buat keje gila cam ni. Tapi tak sangka bleh jmpa kawan sekolah kat KLIA yg sama2 hottest.
Oh yea dlm dok browsing pic dari hottest lain terjmpa satu pic gamba taecyeon & terselit muka aku kat situ. Nak share kat ini tak ingat plak owner dia nak mintak izin.

Kelakar plak dipikirkan keje gila sungguh.
