#ss9inManila

[yeyejie]

after ss9 in manila, i noticed hyukjae seemed brighter. like you could tell he feels lighter and better. after what happened last august and the aftermath, with the concert being postponed and stuff, i'm sure so many things are weighing on his shoulders. but after their concert in manila, it feels like he finally got his closure.

of course, i wouldn't be surprised if he's still grieving today. but at least after their manila stop and getting his much-needed cheering up from everybody, especially the manila crowd, he was finally able to shed his burdens away even just a little. it's amazing how a moment of closure and support can make a difference. 💙

love u, dalnim. forever and always. 💙

Help. SS9 in Manila is amazing. 😭 i don't want to come back to reality 😭

Tbh i don't even know where to begin. It's like everything is a blur, I was just cheering my lungs out both in the bleachers and the standing area, and before I knew it, the concert's done 😭.

Super Shows are indeed amazing. I don't want to miss it. Especially when it's in Manila 😭. I really had a lot of fun.

I actually cried a bit while at the concert on Day 2. When they were singing Walkin', there's this sudden realization that I really love this group so much. I was overwhelmed with emotions that I teared up a bit. When Shindong and Hyukjae talked about what happened last Aug, I just want to hug them yknow. I'm glad that they knew that we'll always be here for them, whether in sadness and happiness.

AND THEY PLAYED WHITE LOVE. GOD BESIDES SNOWMAN, THAT'S MY FAVORITE TRACK IN THEIR NEW ALBUM 😭😭😭 I CAN'T BELIEVE I HEARD IT LIVE 😭😭😭

The aftermath: my body aches so much, I don't have my voice. I'm a bit worried about how would I be able to work on Wednesday 🤣 hopefully I regain my voice back a bit on Tuesday 😭

Edit: I'm just sad that it's all about fancams now and interactions 😭 when I was in the standing area, I was the only one near the stage who is not taking any fancams. Maybe I took some picture for memories but I'm the only one who is not holding my phone up in the air. And as a smol person, it's hard to see past those tall heads what more if there's a phone up in the air 😭 😭. Me and my friend told each other that we'll be at the back when we go for standing VIP 😭

Super Show 9 in Manila day 2

[rellasnowheenim]

haven't been active these days here because i was busy (derogatory) losing my mind at work since december started plus completing my annual physical exam. and then i was busy (affectionate) having the best weekend of the year, maybe even my life, last 17th and 18th 💙

Already missing them so bad. Hoping they will do either SS9 encore here next year or SS10. 🥹

221217-18 SUPER JUNIOR WORLD TOUR - SUPER SHOW 9 : ROAD in MANILA It still feels surreal that we got to watch Super Junior here in Manila for two days! The wait was definitely worth it. Super Show is one amazing concert experience. Thank you so much @superjunior for one of the best concerts ever! Had so much fun with you and with fellow ELF. See you again next time! 💙 #SUPERJUNIOR #슈퍼주니어 #SUPER_SHOW_9 #SUPER_SHOW_9_ROAD #SS9inManila #SS9Manila (at SM Mall of Asia Arena) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUNYpSP8bG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SuperShow 9: The Road in Manila

Woah. Just woah. Natupad ito dahil kay Tita GG. Siya sumagot ng kulang namin ni Jau for VIP Tix. Shet. Sheeeet.

Kaso, si Siwon, nag-positive sa COVID 3 days before concert date.

Okay lang. May next time naman, sabi ko.

Then Hyukjae lost his father on the day of their flight to Manila, the day before the concert date.

Pighati. Para kay Hyukjae, at sa pamilya ng Super Junior. Hindi mo aakalain na mangyayari iyon. Walang may gusto sa nangyari. I woke up with that news noong araw ng concert. I cried for Hyukjae and his family for their grief and loss.

Nag-announce ang Label SJ na pinag-uusapan nila ang mangyayari sa concert. Nagpush pa rin kami ni Jau na pumunta sa MOA Arena. Marami pa rin ang nagpunta. Halata sa mukha ng bawat fan ang lungkot at pagka-ulila. Alam mong malalim ang bond ng idol at fans kapag nagtitipon pa rin para sumuporta, kahit gaano ito kasakit. May ilan na galing pang Visayas, Mindanao, at iba pang bansa para sumuporta, kahit walang kasiguraduhan sa kung anong mangyayari sa araw na iyon.

Nasa EDSA Carousel Bus kami ni Jau, en route to MOA, noong sabi ng SJ Label na hindi matutuloy ang concert. But instead, the rest of the members of SJ wanted to meet us personally.

Ewan ko rin e, kung bakit nagtuloy pa rin sila sa flight nila dito. Halata sa airport pictures na may mali noong araw na iyon e (wala pang may ideya sa kung anong nangyari ang mga fans). Dumating pa rin sila, Leeteuk running towards their anxious fans.

Super Junior didn't have to face us. But they personally wanted to apologize to us. Kasi hindi raw natuloy ang concert. Hagulgol mga mhie. Tipong gusto mong yakapin ang bawat isa sa kanila dahil sa lungkot na nararamdaman nila. And they sang 3 songs for us, yung ballad songs na nasa setlist: My Wish, Callin', at More Days With You. (These songs will always remind me of SJ's love to us.)

They didn't have to sing for us, but they still did.

The concert wasn't canceled. It was only postponed. Magagamit pa namin ang tickets namin sa rescheduled date. Wish pa ni Leeteuk na sana 2 days na raw ang concert haha. Grabeng sakripisyo niyan. Lalo na sa nag-organize. Pero grabe din ang pagmamahal ng organizer sa Super Junior, e. Anything for them. Anything for us.

Halata mo sa kanila na mahal nila kami. Hindi ko ito naramdaman sa kahit kaninong celebrity o idol.

Almost 3 years pa lang akong fan, pero grabe na ang pagmamahal ko sa kanila.

Hindi man nakatakda na maka-attend ako ng first ever concert ko sa araw na iyon, pero maghihintay kami ni Jau sa inyo. Tulad ng pinangako ninyo. Happier and healthier Super Junior members and ELFs.

(Side note: super glad ako na nasa tabi ni Hyukjae si Heechul, Kangin, at Sungmin noong nandito sa Pilipinas ang ibang members. EVEN IF IT IS ADDED OR EXCLUDED, SUPER JUNIOR IS STILL SUPER JUNIOR! Sit down, haters lol 😜)

Was asked if I already have tickets to SS9 Manila in December. I said I'm going on d-1 and d-2. They all reacted "You must have a lot of money." And "You do work hard for kpop because you'll go to both days."

Kpop makes me happy. While I am no longer collecting as much as I did when I was younger, I do see attended kpop events as my way to destress.

Not a lot of people have the same way of viewing happiness. What makes me happy might sound trivial to you but it helps me cope with the stress I've been dealing with since the start of the pandemic.

Daily reminder!

Dear Hae,

I'm going to see you again today, I'm so excited ^^ and guess what? I'm going to see you tomorrow as well!!!! I won a ticket through PHELF's (Super Santa) ticket giveaway initiative (because we all want to fill the arena for you, but not everyone, like me, has the 💸means💸 to buy tickets 🥹) ELFs are very generous, and they gave me and 299 more ELFs a chance to see you all on Day 2! It's so amazing I literally cried when I knew I won one ticket! I'm going to see you for TWO DAYS!!! THIS IS SUCH A BLESSING TO ME 😭 Literally thank you so much to PHELFs and my friend, ate Suzy. I wouldn't be here if not because of them. I will forever hold this close to heart and I will forever be grateful to them.

I hope the next time you go here for SS10, I already have money for myself so that I can afford your tickets na 🥺 as long as I'm alive, I'll try to see you whenever there is a chance and whenever I can.

I'm already inside the arena (but not yet in the /arena/ arena hahaha) waiting for the doors to open. See you in less than 2 hours, Haehae and all the sujus! We missed you so much. Thank you for coming back to us.

With love,

Ky.

SUPPOSED TO BE MY 1ST SUPER SHOW

SUPER JUNIOR - SUPER SHOW 9: ROAD IN MANILA

Ako na lang ba ang hindi nakakapag-blog about Super Show 9 Manila? Char! 

Allow me to share my experience from preps, to the day of supposed-to-be-concert. 

PREPARATIONS

Yung feeling na…

·         May Super Show na ulit sa Pilipinas. May time pa para mag-ipon pambili ng ticket.

·         Nakabili ako ng ticket para sa Super Show 9. Nagkataong may sahod na.

·         Nagbura ako ng malalaking files sa cellphone para ready  na akong i-capture at i-record ang moments ko with SJ for the first time.

·         Nakabili na ako ng SUJU bong (light stick) kahit version 1 lang, at least meron para sa SS.

·         Planado na kung paano pumunta, at sinong maghahatid-sundo sa akin.

·         Masusuot ko na sa wakas yung hoodie na ni-regalo sa akin ng dating office mate ko.

 A WEEK BEFORE SUPER SHOW 9 IN MANILA

Nagsimula na akong mag-countdown sa stories ko. Nangingibabaw ang excitement habang naghihintay ng August 6 2022.

Yun nga lang… Nakisabay ang sunud-sunod na pag-ulan that week. At sunud-sunod na hindi magagandang balita ang in-announce ng Label SJ at PULP Live World – ang official organizer ng SS9.

·         For the 2nd time, nag-positive sa COVID 19 ang bias ko – si Siwon. Kaya hindi siya makakasama. Need niya mag-isolate ASAP at magpagaling.

·         Sa hindi malamang dahilan, nagising ako around 2 AM. So heto na nga… Madaling araw ng 06 Aug 2022, in-announce ng Label SJ ang biglaang pagpanaw ng ama ni Eunhyuk (which is hanggang ngayon, hindi pa natin alam ang totoong dahilan) – dahilan kung bakit hindi siya nakasama sa flight noong Friday night. Sunud-sunod na yung comments regarding this sad news. As in hindi ako makatulog ulit kasi busy ako kakabasa ng comments sa Twitter, Facebook, Instagram hanggang 4 AM guys! Partida may duty pa ako ng 7 AM that day.

Post ko na lang yung exact details from Label SJ at PULP dito.

D – DAY of SUPER SHOW 9 in Manila

Hindi naging madali ang desisyon ng Label SJ at PULP na i-postpone ang concert. Well, I’ll post the official announcement here.

Pagpasok ko pa lang sa MoA Arena ay naririnig ko ang ballad songs ng SJ bago magsimula ang Meet & Greet - Ito lang ang mga naaalala ko so far - “One More Chance”, “So I”, “Somebody New”, “The Melody”, “Dorothy”, “Memories”, at marami pang B-side tracks.

Meet and Greet happened. Si Ms. Kring Kim ang host – trying to lighten up the mood sa kabila ng mga unexpected sad news – na hindi natin or wala namang ginustong mangyari yon. Ah basta! Gets nyo na yung ibig kong sabihin.

That night, SJ and PH ELFs made history. Mixed emotions. As I’ve said sa post ko sa IG, nagpunta ako sa MoA Arena not just to witness SJ for the first time. Nagpunta ako para damayan ang ELFs, at members na present that night – Leeteuk, Yesung, Shindong, Donghae, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun. Pinakinggan naming sila, at paulit-ulit ulit na humihingi ng sorry. “Gwaenchana!” (It’s okay!) Cheer namin sa kanila because the members were so emotional too.

Mahahalata rin ang kanilang pagiging emotional habang hinaharana kami – yes. Three ballad songs!

“My Wish”, “Callin’”, and “More Days With You”

Bago matapos ang meet & greet... “Hold on to your tickets.”

Oh my gosh... valid pa rin yung ticket na hawak ko sa re-schedule ng concert. Sabi ko “WHAT!?”

Napaka-gandang advance christmas gift ito!!!

Anyway, habang naghihintay tayo sa re-schedule date(s) ng SS...

Willing ako este kami maghintay sa pagbabalik ng SJ. Please come back stronger, guys. Fighting!!!

감사합니다! 사랑해요! 화이팅!
