SHINee in Dallas – 03/24/2017

There are a lot of amazing things that happened that day that still feels surreal!! I wanted to write a fanaccount not just to share my experience but also so that I can have a “dairy” to look back on whenever I wanted to :) Fair warning: ITS SUPER DUPER LONG!!

I went to the SHINee concert in Dallas with my sister (bias – Onew) and one of my best friend (bias – Jonghyun)! It was one of the best experiences of my life! First of all Minho was doing THE MOST during this concert and I needed him to stop! But there were moments throughtout the concert where l in love with each member! My ot5 heart was very very content <3

The drive over to the venue was about 4.5 hours but we managed to get to the venue at around 3ish. It was raining real hard for a good 10 mins of the drive…. SHINee really did bring the rain LOL

When we got to the venue there were a good amount of people there. There were couple of girls who were giving out the project banners. They were sooo nice!!!! They explained when to hold up the banner and details about the encore song.

After that we went straight to the merch pick-up line. I only got the lightstick and poster… I wanted the fans so bad but I didn’t have money L While I was in the line, I saw @nothingbutsoulmatesjongkey and I went up to her and greeted her! She is sooo nice and super cute! I got a little goodie bag from her which had some super cute stuff in it! Thank you so much Britt!!

After picking up the merch we just walked around and we found some girls giving out Minho project banners! I saw some people with some Onew ones but I couldn’t find anyone giving them out :( I noticed there were a lot of Jinki and Minho fans! And whenever the camera focused on Minho or Onew there would be an eruption of cheers! Especially when it was of Minho singing!

Shawol’s fanchants are not joke! Someone had put on some SHINee music on speakers and people were already chanting and singing along to it and dancing along to it! Shawols are so talented! My friend made me this really beautiful poster to take to the concert! It was so beautiful! A lot of shawols came up to us and complemented it and took pics of it! <3 <3

I got so thirsty at one point and I had forgotten to bring water so I asked one of the workers if I could go inside the venue to drink water and they let us in. When I was coming out the guy (he was probably in his 50s) who worked there asked us about the shirts we were wearing and the names in the back. We told him the names and showed him our pins that had our biases pics and he was like “how could I not know this! Psshh” He was so funny and nice!

The doors opened at around 6:20ish and we got to go inside but we didn’t get to go inside the actual room where the concert was held till like 7ish

I got p2 tickets and it was the middle section and like a second row of the p2 section! We were pretty happy with our seats! We were like right in the middle and the stage was close enough that we see the members clearly. While waiting for the concert to start, at one point everyone started screaming and I freaked out LOL but they were just checking the spotlight or something LOL

Up until this point it still hadn’t set in that I was actually gonna see SHINee live for the first time! When runaway started playing everyone started singing along and the lights dimmed down and all the pearl aqua ocean was soo beautiful! The venue looked pretty full to me too!

Of course when the concert actually started I freaked out!! They opened with hitchhiking and I WAS SO SHOOK!!! It was honestly a blessing to be able to witness that jongkey moment in person! The boys were on fire!

Fancams and pictures don’t do them any justice! They look so beautiful and perfect! They are called CDNee for a reason! For a second I had to remind myself that they were actually singing live! Key’s dance break during Juliette had me soo SHOOK!!! That was when it started setting in that I was actually at a SHINee concert!

During the first ment the boys introduced themselves and that Jonghyun fanboy!!! That moment was so amazing!! I knew that jjong would recognize him but I was surprised that Key recognized him and they even remembered where he was sitting the last time! When this was happening my friend was like “Key has got some competition…” I didn’t realize what she actually meant till a couple of seconds later LOL I remember screaming out “I LOVE YOU KEY!!” sometime during this ment! He probably didn’t hear it but it felt so good to say that out loud because I honestly love that man SO MUCH!

I noticed that key’s outfit was different right when they came on stage and during the first talk ment he told us the infamous Gucci story! He said something along the lines of “so I took off all my clothes...” everyone started screaming of course LOL He was so salty about it and the way he said “My Gucci burned” was soo hilarious! Kibum is so beautiful in person… He is actual perfection. His English is just amazing!

Taemin was kinda quiet during the talking segments… Poor guy was probably still tired! And of course as always, they made Taemin introduce the next song which was prism and he was sooo cute while introducing it!

SHINee’s harmonization during Replay (remix) was no joke! They sounded so beautiful and I was so close to tears. Witnessing odd eye live is just a whole new experience! My eyes kept gravitating towards Onew! He was so into it and was being sooo rude!! AND OMG TAEMIN IS ART!!! HIS DANCING AND HIS EXISTENCE IS SUCH A BLESSING!! WHEN HE PERFORMED GOODBYE I FELT SO OVERWHELMED WITH EMOTIONS!! I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM AND I WAS REMINDED OF HOW MUCH HE HAS GROWN SINCE THE DEBUT! HE IS MOVING ART! I FELT SO BLESSED AFTER THAT PERFORMANCE!! And the way joined in for ring ding dong mid-performance was so flawless!!

During the second segment when onjongtae went to chage, Key expressed how our singing is good and said “your Korean is probably better than mine” and minho joined in by saying “English too” LOL They seemed very impressed with our chants! Jongyu came back on stage and minkey left to change. Jonghyun said its been 9 years since SHINee debuted and Onew had a surprised face on and was like wow 9 years! And then he started talking nonsense and said something about putting our hands together… we were all so confused LOL even Jonghyun was like “what are you talking about?” Onew was just smiling and said nevermind all embarrassed! He was soo cute!! He just turned around with his back to the crowd. Taemin finally came on stage was like “it’s so chaotic over there” (he was referring to back stage) and Key came out as well at that time! (Key changes so fast!). He said something along the lines of “I know! My Gucci burned back there!” (He was so salty! It was hilarious). Everyone laughed and Taemin was like “I was not talking about that!” When Minho finally came out on stage I held my breath! He was sooo beautiful and handsome! The camera focused on him and his shirt was see through…. You could see his upper body very clearly… They made Onew introduce the song this time and he was super cute and adorable!

They performed Selene 6.23, aside, don’t let me go and please don’t go and let me tell you… I WAS NOT READY FOR PLEASE DON’T GO! Even though that song is just a Jongyu duet and not a ot5 song, it is my absolute favorite SHINee song! The amount of times I have listened to that song and cried my eyes out is countless. How lucky am I to be able to hear that song live? And that too at my first SHINee concert! Like what are the chances that they perform that song! I was just in awe the whole time! Jonghyun and Jinki’s vocals are no joke! I was just frozen the whole song! It was soo beautiful and jongyu looked soo beautiful! When the song ended jongyu were just looking at each other for like a good 30 secs and my jongyu feels were off the charts!

During ready or not we held up the Minho banners and Minho (who was in the middle of the stage) noticed it almost right away and gave us a thumbs up. He then walked to his right side of the stage and there were a bunch of fans who had the banners up in that corner. He looked at them and he had a big smile on his face and gave them a thumbs up as well! Onho were so energetic during ready or not and savior! Esp Minho like where does all the energy come from? I was focused on Minho but my sister who is onew biased was like “look at jinki!” I did and he was like spinning around crazily!!! Then of course he tripped himself and fell! My heart stopped till I saw him getting back up and smiling at himself! He put his hand over his chest and looked pretty surprised by his fall LOL I just wanted to go up to him and tell him to be careful because he has hurt himself way too many times during that performance!

After everybody we had the encore break and we had to sing love sick but sadly no one did :( The fans started chanting SHINee but even that didn’t last long. I heard a crowd singing love sick faintly but I couldn’t hear them well enough to join in :(

The boys then performed 1of1 and dream girl and it was amazing as usual! Those suits are truly a blessing! They looked so good and Tae in that mustard suit is the best thing ever! The mic stands were so cool! It’s amazing how good they are performing with those mic stands without any mistakes!

Last Ment: Jonghyun said because of our cheers they could perform well and they he hopes that we cheer them on more and that SHINee will produce more great music for us! Onew said it was very passionate in the venue and thanked us! Taemin thanked everyone for coming and said that he hopes to come back again to Dallas! Minho pointed at jonghyun next and jonghyun said “I said everything already! Thank you!” and smiled cutely! Minho was up next and he had that big smile on his face and said “Thank You! Thank you for coming!! I will come back to Dallas! Thank you!” His English is soo cute!! Then he shouted out “I LOVE YOU GUYS!” At that point I screamed out I love you Minho!! Then Key in his amazing English thanked everyone who came to the show and asked us how the show was. He then said “thanks for singing together, thanks for learning Korean and thanks for your support and I love you guys too!” They then invited the dancers on stage and said thank you together and bowed. They then took picture with the crowd and the way Taemin sat down was soo cutee LOL

Key said its time for the last song and jonghyun asked taemin to introduce the last song. Taemin was standing so cutely and he looked so smol especially because of that hair and said “I hope… meet again… This is final song… this is encore” I said so many times already but he was sooo cutee!!! I finally fully understood the meaning behind his emoticon 6v6! Jongho were looking at him so fondly and smiling at him!

THE FINAL SONG! AN ENCORE! THE SONG THAT IS SO SPECIAL TO ME ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS CONCERT! We held up the project banners and I was part of the section that had to hold up the blue carstock so that it could make a heart! (idk if the heart came out well tbh) But the boys looked happy and were smiling! SHINee were singing it so beautiful and I was so overwhelmed with everything! It was just so beautiful and I didn’t want the concert to end but unfortunately that was the last song. Again my eyes automatically went to Minho! He has such a stage presence that hard to ignore. He had a content smile on his face and looked so beautiful. From where he stood he scanned the whole crowd. It looked like he was looking at each and every single fan! I was watching him the whole time and when he looked at the section straight ahead of him and I waved my lightstick at him and CHOI FRICKING MINHO SAW ME, MADE EYE CONTACT, SMILED AND RAISED HIS LEFT HAND AND WAVED BACK!!! I COMPLETELY LOST IT AND TURNED TO LOOK AT MY SISTER AND SHE WAS HE WAVED AT YOU! Then my sister, my friend and the girl sitting next to her waved at minho and HE US AGAIN, SMILED AND WAVED BACK TO US AGAIN!! HE SAW HOW EXCITED WE WERE AND KINDA DID KIND OF A CIRCLE WAVE WITH HIS LEFT HAND!!! IT FELT SO SURREAL!! My sister was totally about to cry and my friend and the girl sitting next to her just held on to each other and fangirled! I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS MOMENT! I HONESTLY STILL CAN’T BELIEVE THAT THAT ACTAULLY HAPPENED!! Towards the end of the song confetti started falling and it looked so beautiful! It was such a pretty sight to look at! After the song ended the curtain started coming down and Minho like crouched down and kept looking at the crowd till the curtains reached the floor. The last VCR was so beautiful and held behind the scene videos… I felt so content and overwhelmed watching it!

It felt like the concert flew by real fast because we were having so much fun! My friend who isn’t a shawol but likes shinee said that she loved the concert! She said that Taemin’s dancing was amazing! Key looked so beautiful! She said that SHINee has such a beautiful fandom. The ride back home I just replayed everything that happened at the concert in my mind and I got so emotional! It was truly a blessing! I hope that SHINee come back once again to NA! I hope that SHINee had fun and enjoyed the show as well! I hope that all shawols get a chance to experience a shine concert atleast once in their lifetime!

THANK YOU SHINee FOR PUTTING ON SUCH A GOOD SHOW! THANK YOU TO ALL THE FANS WHO WERE THERE AND MADE THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE MEMORABLE! <3 ��,��>

You say the fandom "feels abandoned" and that other ships have active fans/content, but in my observation, all the ships are holding on by threads at this point. Remember Watch out Babe and how the JongKey fandom clung to that for dear life? Because that's just about all they have now. Or how 2min shippers ranted about keeping the tag clear of the new TwoMin lol. One could argue that they didn't know the original 2min was still a thing, given the most recent 2min vids have content from ages ago

So don't feel like Onho in particular is dying, I think it's just that SHINee in general have reached their peak/prime in popularity and people have moved on to newer groups and newer ships. It's not you, it's not them, it's no one's fault but the natural ebb and flow of things. I know it sucks and I get that you devoted years to creating fan works, but I wouldn't stop just because of that. If you still have passion for it, still write because as long as SHINee exists there will be interest :)

I don't know, you go into the ship tags and something tagged "JongTae" is just them merely standing next to each other :/ Of course, SHINee have moved on from their "fanservice" days and developed very true and deep friendships and brotherhood. I think it's something to celebrate rather than mourn. Just my two cents, sorry for so many messages :)

I’ve been in fandoms that have died out before and I’ve been in fandoms still going strong but left due to other interests, so yeah, I am familiar with the good and bad of “time passing and changing”. I know the general fandom has been in decline for a couple years now and everyone feels it, but the “little man” feels it more than others.

the difference for me here is, I was actually an active part of the fandom instead of just a lurker. even if I wasn’t feeling it, I still pushed because, in a way, people needed me for something.

so now they don’t and still haven’t found anything to put my time into instead, and not from lack of searching for two years now.

so I don’t mourn the general fandom and its state or have negative feelings towards shinee’s “in real life” brotherhood. I mourn the loss of purpose and what was once fun.

I still can’t get things done if I do it just for me. I don’t know when or if I’ll ever be able to fix that. I remember what it used to feel like, doing things for myself (mostly art), but it’s been years since I felt that.

creating things for others was coping, discussing story ideas and ships was coping. making people happy was coping. I don’t know if that makes sense to anyone or if they understand that sense of loss.
