RELATED POST: EXCLUSIVE Behind-The-Scenes K-Pop Party in TORONTO
Yes I'll get to the homework bit, but this concert was a huge milestone for Canadian Kpoppers, and lovers of international music. Yesterday on March 30, 2014, the 6-membered group TEEN TOP made a stop at The Guvernment in Toronto. I wasn't even a huge Teen Top fan, but let me tell you this: It. Was. AWESOME!!! As the first official K-pop concert in Canada, this may mark the gateway to many more artists touring here in the future. This was a very big deal
!
NOTE: We don't encourage obsessive fandom, or any form of fandom that MAY RESULT IN YOU HARMING YOURSELF. Please read THIS if you feel like you need help, or you can e-mail me at dragonsforangel (at) gmail.comThe "homework" piece is a Kpop tradition- Before concerts, groups often release "Fan Chants" that the audience can sing along to the songs interactively, while they're being performed. This usually involved shouting out the members' names in order, etc. My sister and I didn't have time to learn them all, so this is the one that we learned:
The sight was hilarious- probably 99% of the crowd was female. Fans (Teen Top "Angels") began lining up from daybreak, and the line stretched all the way around the buildings. My sister and I showed up at 4:30PM (show started at 7) and we broke out speakers to blast Kpop music while waiting- No surprised, everybody danced along! It was rather chilly, but nobody seemed to mind, since their beloved boy group was here!

We're pretty sure that was the bus that Teen Top travelled here from. |

So many fans! The "Teen Top" sign was displayed on the giant screen. |
Probably the most heart-stopping moments were the 15 minutes before the show was about to start.
The crowd was wild beyond belief, and everybody was cheering for Teen Top to come out.

So much beautiful confetti at Teen Top's concert! |
If my Facebook link isn't working, I put it on Youtube too:
Teen Top changed outfits about 3-4 times. C.A.P (our bias) was totally rocking a curly-haired poodle look (LOL) and shades that he never took of.. Seriously, why did you not take them off? The first few costumes were hiphop/street clothes, but later they changed into all-white military-style suits. Finally, they changed into the official Teen Top tour tshirts! (My sister and I laughed at C.A.P and his half-assed attempt to get the shirt on.. Oh Cap.)

One of the Krowdpop staff asking fans to stop harassing Teen Top. Luckily, Canadian fans learned from this, and no incidents were reported from last night. |

Thank you so much to the fans who helped crowdfund this, and to KROWDPOP for hosting the event. In addition, I'm very proud of Toronto fans who maintained their dignity and respected the group. Remember that celebrities are just people, not Gods. Aside from deserving respect, it is also healthy for yourself to know your limits of fandom and idolizing celebrities- For your own sake. Obsession is unhealthy! This was a huge milestone for international K-pop enthusiasts and we're looking forward to MORE concerts.
What do you think is next.. perhaps the power girl-ground 2NE1? :) Let me know who you want to see next!
