To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

Crowd was good and cheers were loud, specially the teen girls for VIXX. D-unit got some love too. Don't know much about them but just knew Boram's sis is there and she does look a lot like her. She doesn't wear those elevated shoes so she looks tiny. But man, Rainbow is so full of eye candy, its awesome. Sang their new song + Tell me Tell me + A. Jisook and Jaekyung are very good with crowd interaction. 2 hours of entertainment for only 3 dollars, money well spent.
Concert in the middle of Stanley Park. Temperature was a cool 15C and there was a little fog.
D-unit. They sang three songs. I know only Luv me.
Vixx. The left guy's right leg is in a cast so for one song he has to sit on a stool. Crowd favorite is N and the guy on the right.
Rainbow. I think a few of them made eye contact with me because I keep raising my hands straight up and clapped like a fanboy. Yoon* hye on the left definitely gave me a heart sign, she looks really good. *I did try to learn all their names before the show.
I also went but stayed to the side with friends. The weather was good (no rain!) but a little cold. I missed some of the dance competition but the groups seemed pretty awesome (I can't believe that the winning regional group gets to go to Kyeongju!! Lucky!). More Crayon Pop the better I say (Taekwondo class, dance competition peeps, etc)
As a casual fan I didn't know lots of the members. Who was the member of Rainbow who was speaking English? Alexander is a member of U-Kiss?
I just returned from Korea and they seemed to know much louder with the fan chants. Although the might be because I was not in the crowd. Was there lots of fan chants?
$3 can't be beat. Although the mikes were horrible, but that created some funny situations. D-Unit just waving goodbye. The one member of Rainbow trying to say the same thing 3+ times in a row with different mikes (kekeke).

That's too bad. It's rare for kpop to land in Western Canada. Or the whole country for that matter.

No fanchants, but I was around a lot of screaming girls near the front and was tempted to cover my ears a few times. Although, there was during the dance comp when EXO's Growl was played. I finally realized the extent of EXO's popularity. The crowd also attempted the bar bar bar dance. I didn't know about Alexander either and I had to research after I went home. Apparently he's ex-U-Kiss. Too bad though, he seems to know how to entertain and has a lot of fans in the crowd. Jisook and Jaekyung spoke a little english, although during each of their introductions all 7 said a few.
Could be old news, but its the first I heard of it, Crayon Pop finally releasing a physical copy of their songs that fans can buy, A mini-album called The Streets Go Disco. http://www.yesasia.com/1034040938-0-0-0-en/info.html
