I was at the Abbey Road Studios. Being there as a K-pop music fan and a university student (doing my dissertation about the establishment of K-pop music in Europe).
Reached there around noon. Waited for like 5 - 6 hours just to see SHINEE. I like MinHo very very much.
Lots and lots of fan were waiting for them since 9 am. Then, more fans come waiting at both sides of the Abbey Road.
SM Town and other K-pop artists, please please please come to UK.
Major local presses and television stations came to broadcast this event. Fan girls are interviewed about how they feel about K-pop.
While we were waiting, some entertainment to keep us really excited. This guy is really really good. He know some K-pop cheoreography moves. Other fan girls join in and they also know how to dance along. K-pop fever. Woohoo!!!
We were cheering on all the way. Keep chanting "We want Shinee!!", "SM Town London" etc. Some even do the fan chants.
Lee Soo Man (gray suit), chairman of SM Entertainment left the studio. Meaning it's the end of the show and....SHINEE is going to come out.
Finally, after waiting for like 45 minutes, SHINEE has finally come out. Yes, I see them from afar. I couldn't get a good picture because the fans were jumping and screaming with excitement. Fans also want to take pictures and videos of SHINEE. We were mesmerized by their handsome and charming looks.
I get to see Minho. I was jumping and shouting with excitement. OMG!!! MINHO!!! Saranghae~!!
Too bad JongHyun was not there because he was sick. He's having a high fever. Wishing JongHyun will recover fast and get back into shape.
It was worth of going there. I get to see the glimpse of SHINEE. Excited to see K-pop coming to Europe. First time experiencing the K-pop fandom phenomenon. Able to get a few contacts from the fans for e-mail interview. Fulfill my part of the dissertation task. So many reasons I could think of and yet it is really a great experience.
K-pop artists and idol groups have to come to Europe. Expand the K-pop music to Europe and the whole wide world. Come to London and other parts of the European countries for more concerts. Love ya K-pop music. The whole world is loving K-pop even more from time to time.
