Super Show 9 Manila 08.06.2022

Yes, I was there. I got to see them in person, performing live. The one group that got me into kpop, my forever love, Super Junior. As an elf of 15 years, it was a dream come true as this was my FIRST EVER Super Show. 

I had mixed feelings about how the events turned out. An announcement, a night before the actual concert came. It was devastating news. The father of Eunhyuk suddenly passed away. He was not able to fly to the Philippines to join the others. Hours before the actual concert, the promoter announced that the members discussed until the wee hours of the morning to cancel the concert, as they could not proceed with the performances thinking that one member recently lost a family member. Despite the concert cancelation, they still met the fans who came to the venue. They still managed to sing 3 songs. 

I had mixed emotions during the short fan meet. I was holding my tears when every member greeted the fans and apologized for the cancelation. It was devastating to see them shed tears. The people that always bring you smiles were crying right in front of you. But at the same time, I was over the moon. I cannot believe that they were right on stage performing. The group that I supported for the past 15 years was singing live and I was their to witness it. Wow. Just wow. 

And let us not forget. I was able to see in flesh my ultimate bias. Lee Donghae. He was unreal. He is just too good looking. Wow. I was really happy. 

They promised to be back. To greet the fans with smiles and to perform their hearts out soon. I will be there to witness it and happily wave my SuJu bong. Fighting SuJu!

Appreciation post for SEVENTEEN

I just felt the need to post this just to appreciate these boys. Seen them live last 2017, and they were awesome. I couldn't be more proud of how far they've come since then. They continued to grow as individuals, as a group and as artists. Seeing how they evolved from rookies to the experienced group, they are now, puts a proud smile on my face. They've come a long way and I hope they continue to inspire fans with their music and not let go of each other. I really hope that they continue promoting as 13 members for a very long time. Just like SuJu, I want SVT to last 15 years and more in the industry. Fighting SVT! 

- Much love from a proud CARAT :)       

HIGHLIGHT (Beast v.2.0)

I've been their fan since debut. They have been through a lot the previous year. From losing a member, to leaving their previous agency, to forming their own company, to changing their group name. They are one tough group, that I can say. They didn't let go of each other and become solo artists, instead they became stronger and formed their own agency. Thus, giving them more freedom in doing music, concepts in mvs and which shows to star/guest. I'm very proud of these boys. Watching their variety shows, you can really see the dynamic that makes them a team. You can see how they are so close to each other, sometimes saying things without filter on screen. You will really appreciate the effort they put into making music when you know their story. Their ballad songs accompanied by amazing vocals of the members: I love them all. Now that they've changed labels and their name, I will still support them. Saranghaeyo, Highlight!!!! <3

SVT (SEVENTEEN)

Please help my fan girl heart.... I've become an official fan just recently. Who wouldn't fall for their charms? Super talented and good looking bunch of kids. I could feel the SJ vibes from them. Super funny when doing variety shows (which is a must). I really hope that they would also achieve great things like SJ.
