From September, 28th - October, 3rd 2011, there was a Korea-Indonesia Week 2011. In that program, we can see a lot of Korean cultures. From Korean food, traditional music, movie, sport, and even the singer from Korea.
Here, I got a chance to attend Hallyu Concert 2011 where some Korean artist performed there. There were Lee Joon Ki, Park Hyo Sin, Yoo Seung Chan, Lee Dong Gun, Jung Jae Il, and Mithra. This event was located at Gandaria City Mall, Exhibition Room 3rd floor at 19:30 PM ( Indonesia time ). I went to this concert with my friend, Nazila, who also became photographer and reporter, and my sister, Wena.

| The Queue |

| Staffs and securities were ready to manage the queue |
We queued in the 2nd floor of Gandaria City Mall. We queued there about 1 hour. At 17:00 PM, Securities and staffs managed us to go to the 3rd floor ( the venue ) by escalator. And I think that no more queue there. But in fact, we still had to queue -____- It was becoming so terrible because people always came and always push us up from the back. So it was such a bad queue. Feeling so hot and difficult to breath, that was what I felt when I was in the queue. The staffs said that the gate opened at 18:30 PM. But actually, they just opened the gate at 19:00 PM. There were 2 gates, gate A and B (and VIP). Many Korean came in the gate A and citizen came in the gate B. This is the fabulous stage and lighting where Korean performer will perform.

| Andy from Shinhwa |
Andy sang two songs. Those were so eye catching, but badly I can't recognize what the title of the songs are. I am sorry, Andy oppa! But he DID a great performance! After performing, Andy greeted us with Korean language and the translator translated what Andy said to us. Andy said, " This is my first time to visit Indonesia. I love this country. There are so many beautiful girls here. Then I want to cheer you up guys because this concert is still long and you have to get spirit and enjoy our performance. ".
Andy left the stage. Then Yoo Seung Chan appeared to the middle of the stage ! Oh my! He's gorgeous!

| Yoo Seung Chan sang " Billionaire " by Bruno Mars |
With his white polo shirt, jeans, and sunglasses, he looked so fresh. And I love the way he sang. He sang two songs. The first one is his song ( again, I don't know the title of the song ) and the next song is " Billionaire " by Bruno Mars. Know what, everybody there sang along with him. Several times he pointed his microphone to the audiences and we sang louder. After that, Yoo Seung Chan greeted us like what Andy did to us. But he talked in English. His English is very good. Yoo Seung Chan said, " It is an honour to visit a beautiful country like Indonesia. One day, I'll be back here. ".
No break, Lee Dong Gun and Jung Jae Il came in with guitar in Jae Il's hand. Everybody shouted happily. Before Dong Gun performed, he said, " Actually I have an appointment in another country. But special for Indonesia, I would like to come and meet you all here. ". Audiences cheered up again. Then Jae Il continued, " But me, I am here because of Dong Gun's invitation. But I love this country! ". Everybody laughed on Jae Il. Then they started to perform. 2 songs were Dong Gun's songs.

| The Trio : Lee Dong Dun, Jung Jae Il, and Park Hyo Sin |
After the third song, Lee Dong Gun left the stage and Yoo Seung Chan was back to the stage. With Jae Il and Hyo Sin, they mixed 2 song. One is Korean song and another one is I'm Yours from Jason Mraz. Audiences were once again sang along with them. But unfortunately Seung Chan's microphone didn't work. Ah, it's unfortunate.

| Another trio : Yoo Seung Chan - Jung Jae Il - Park Hyo Shin |
Finished the song, Yoo Seung Chan and Jung Jae Il left the stage and Park Hyo Sin performed with his own songs. Many girls shouted to Hyo Shin, " Hyo Shin oppa, marry me! ", " Hyo Shin oppa, kiss me! ". Oh my, they were being crazy :D
Most of the songs that the performers performed were mellow song. Then Choi Jin "Mithra" came to the stage and make the situation hotter with his R n B songs.

He was so attractive and made audiences jump up in their space. We waved our hand to the air and jumped up. Everybody loved his performance. After that he came with the main star of the show, Lee Joon Ki ! They sang 2 songs with a great choreography. Audiences shouted to call Lee Joon Ki's name. After singing, Lee Joon Ki opened his glasses and left the stage. Audiences shouted again.

Then all of the performers came to the stage and sang 2 songs for us.
The show was finally ended. They said good bye to us. Oh nooooooo, we still want more. But yeah, the show had finished. Then the MC back and also said good bye to us.
Hmmm ... but it was a great experience for me to watch Korean artist. I am so appreciated and I hope I can attend to another Korean artist concert. 화이팅 !
