I just got back from seeing Epik High's Seoul date for their world-wide 'Map the Soul.' concert. It was wonderful - one of my most cherished experiences in Seoul to date. I met some lovely foreign fans in the queue (there were about eleven of us in total. Although I only spoke to about five.) I was also lucky enough to sit next to two lovely English speaking Korean kids - a boy from Ohio and a really nice girl from Seoul.

I came back $100 poorer due to the merchandise tent and with a lot of photos.

******** WARNING! *********

These photos were taken from the second floor balcony - I had a central seat on the second row, but it was still a bigger gap than my camera usually deals with. Most of the later shots are not angled for artistic reasons - but due to having to navigate past the fans infront of me and also the lighting set up. (In between dancing round like a lunatic and screaming my head off.)

That said - I hope everyone who is going to the American shows enjoys them as much as I enjoyed tonight.

Aka. Isn't DJ Tukutz adorable....

Massive thanks to Lilsusie for making it possible for me to attend this event and to Epik High for producing such inspiring music and considering their global fans in such an active way.

Very nice.

So did Kero One rap too? I love Kero One. Dude's a dope rapper. Epik High, of course is a great group.

Were the songs in "Map The Soul" album only performed, or other songs from their various albums?

@Disregard - yes he did a hell of a lot including duets with Epik High/Kero One and Big Vince. He also did some amazing acoustic english songs for us. I will post the photos of the supporting artists at a later date.

Yes he did - he was excellent. Lots of energy and he spoke mainly in English during his chat between songs which was fun for us foreign fans who attended. They began with Map the Soul songs and then moved on to older tracks including 'Fan', 'Fly' and 'Love, Love, Love.'

@MorningMusume11 - I was blown away by their energy and vigour. They had a lot of fun on stage and it really communicated well to the audience. The first half of the concert was more low key and calm, but it really kicked off once they did some of their older work. The mixture of support artists and DJ Tukutz coming out to dance and sing was a lovely surprise. They also did two excellent encores. I hope they will release a DVD of it later on!
