[FAN ACCOUNT BoA HERE I AM SPECIAL LIVE 2013] About 30min before 7pm, we were allowed to enter the concert venue. I was honestly shocked. Everyone just walked calmly to queue up to enter the hall. It is a stark contrast from what I witnessed the day before at Big Bang's concert hall. I thought to myself "Wow BoA fans are really the best. They care for each other!!". Another incident that made me think that way was how I overheard people discussing whether or not to bring their placards in. They were like "don't bring it in, it'll block others' view!" I was really touched! BoA fans are sooooooo awesome T-T
The concert didn't start until about 7.10pm or so. But everyone waited patiently for the concert to start, playing with their phones, making new friends etc. I was surprised cuz I thought that someone would start chanting "we want BoA" or something along those lines. Jumpings are really jjang~

Upon entrance, the concert hall looked very smoky and mysterious. Then I guessed BoA would start the concert with a dance hit. When the lights finally dimmed, everyone started cheering. The concert started off with a flashback video reviewing BoA's past videos and songs. Then the hall suddenly blacked out and then Hurricane Venus came on. You could see BoA with a haughty expression sitting on a very pretty white chair. She gave out an air of "Hey guys welcome to the Queen's show". Fans totally went crazy screaming and chanting for BoA. During the talk portions on the first day, BoA sounded pretty nervous and kind of at a loss what to say. BoA first introduced the concert saying that it's her first solo concert in Korea after 13 years and welcomed everyone to the show. She said "As you know I'm not really good at talking *fans went eh~~~* But they told me to speak for 5min what can I say?". Then she went "It's very cold right? Er *mumbles* Thanks for coming" (I guess she might have wanted to say something like I'm sorry or something of that sort. BoA cares for her fans a lot even though she doesn't show it). On the second day, her talk was more polished it sounded a little like she prepared something beforehand. She looked much more confident and even did some aegyo. She winked several times throughout the concert and seemed to be in a super playful mood. Maybe she feels more relaxed because the response was really warm? (The response was much warmer than compared to the first day. Not to mention the lightings were also much prettier.)
Too many songs and too many memories... I can't even piece them chronologically. The first part of the concert was really sexy - from the costumes down to the choreography. She wore a really sexy black lacy dress and black stockings. During My Name, the mic appeared to have some problems and BoA's voice couldn't be heard in the first few verses. However, the fans just sang those parts for her. BoA just kept smiling and you could see she felt a little embarrassed at the situation. When <Did Ya> came on, I was really stunned. The choreography was sexy+cute. There was a part where BoA and the dancers laid on the floor. When BoA rolled over, she did aegyo and winked it was so cute!! It was this song that made me understand what the other fans said - that BoA is able to present multiple expressions at one time. She was really the epitome of sexy, cute and pretty at the same time. I was blown away!! I'd have to say this was my favourite and most memorable song out of the whole concert.
The second part of the concert was slower and began with Implode. BoA looked like a real goddess in a long white gown. On the first day, you can see and hear that she was pretty uncomfortable in the dress. During the talk portion, she even joked that cuz she ate too much for dinner the dress became too tight and so she couldn't breathe properly. But everyone screamed that she was a goddess. Then she went "A godddess? No I'm not..." but you can see she loved the compliment keke!! At one point I actually thought BoA was an illusion. She was radiating and it was really like a goddess landed on Earth. I don't know if my eye was too dry from standing out in the cold or if I was tearing... Maybe it's the stage lighting... =/ When it was time for the premiere of Disturbance, BoA said "You all know what's the title of my new song right? *fans screamed then BoA just nodded whilst looking at the ground* I was thinking what present can I give to you guys. Doing something special for the concert only is kinda so-so... So I wrote this song with you guys in mind. *went on to explain the song* It is the first premiere of the music video and this song. I hope you'll enjoy it". On the first day, BoA said "To those of you who are recording the concert, I hope you will stop recording. *silence in the hall* I know some of you are recording it. Please don't record just this part. Or if you do, please don't release it until after the official release.". She also added that "I know a lot of people are hating on me after the release of the teaser picture. But oh well it happened not just once or twice." She sounded like she accepted that the situation wouldn't change, but she didn't say anything like she was ok with it. Regardless, I thought her way of handling the situation was really cool. It made me feel even more sorry that she had to endure all that hate that she doesn't even deserve just cuz she collaborated with a famous boyband member!! -.-" On the second day, BoA said "I was wondering what present I could give you guys. Well it's not in my character to do a parody or something of that sort *fans expressed disbelief* Why are you guys like that? Ah I said I can't do it! *goes on to do a menboong school parody*". After that she was embarrassed. "I noticed a lot of you were screaming "AH!!" when heart-wrenching moments were played. (Note: parts of the music video was played while she was singing, the full music video was played after BoA left the stage) Can you please focus on listening to my singing and stop screaming? It's really funny and I was trying real hard to hold back my laughter while singing. After I went backstage, I laughed like crazy. Could you please not scream while listening to me sing today? Please scream only after I finish singing." LOL to be honest I didn't even notice BoA's expression on the first day cuz I got so distracted by the video =x Not sure if its cuz a lot of people already went for the first day, there was much less screaming when the video played... But everyone listened to BoA and only screamed after her performance ended. BoA also said "This song will be out at 12pm tomorrow. You will download it right?? Don't just stream it!!!!! Download it!!!!!!!!!!!".
The last part of the concert was a little like a walk down memory lane. Everyone went mad at Only One, especially during the extended dance portion. The dance portion was really emotional (many people speculated that it was a teaser for Cobu). Then during the song medley, BoA sang some of her earlier works e.g. Listen To My Heart and ID;Peace B. Before the medley started, the fans were in a state of "what is that song?!", so BoA went "Don't worry when you hear it you'll know which song it is!". During ID;Peace B, BoA asked the audience to sing along if they know the song. It was really funny how BoA didn't sing the "chuka chuka chu" part on both days. Instead, she pointed the mic at the audience. Seems like she's really embarrassed to sing that part eh? On the second day, during the talk portion a lot of fans screamed "goggle!". Then BoA went "how can I stilll wear a goggle and sing Atlantis Princess at this age?! Why are you guys like this? *bright smile* I am now... *fans kept screaming* Ok I can still do this *sang and danced to the last part of the chorus*". On the first day, BoA said "this is the second last song" and you could hear a weak "aww". I think people were expecting to see a grander encore so they didn't push further. Even after the setlist finished, shouts for encore didn't start as immediately as compared to the second day. I'm guessing a lot of people were kinda puzzled and lost... But on the second day, BoA only announced the concert was ending at the last song. Then you could hear a resounding "AWWWWW NO!!" to which BoA only laughed.
Encore stage was really short - only 2 songs!! BoA wore a simple t-shirt with shorts and had her hair in a bun. On the second day, she wore the BoA Here I Am shirt (only hers was in white while those that fans bought is black. Everyone commented that the white shirt was much prettier maybe it's just cuz BoA wore it keke). It started off with No. 1. On the first day, fans raised the placard stated "Here we Are". I think most people were expecting BoA to start crying. She didn't cry but she did stop singing for a short while and laughed. After the song ended, BoA thanked everyone for requesting an encore. She then said "Actually I saw the staff preparing the placards backstage, if not I would've really cried. I was wondering why is it "Here we are"? Then I thought wow SM is really good at preparing such things! *NO not SM!! WE prepared this!!* What? Yeah of cuz how could SM have prepared this *bitter smile* What will I be without you guys?". At this remark, my heart really ached... Seems like BoA isn't treated well by SM staffs T-T So much for saying that BoA is the one who brought the company to success, and all those rumours that BoA is a goddess in SM who gets everything her way. Those rumours are definitely not true!! On the second day, BoA added that "The concert wouldn't be complete without performing No. 1 right? *fans screamed in agreement*". At the final song, BoA said "The next song is really the last song of the day. While I was deciding the setlist for this concert, the final song was the first to be set. I feel that the lyrics really describe my life. And so if anyone knows this song, please sing along". Then BoA went on to sing Hope and after the song, she thanked everyone who went for the concert and said "Time passes really quickly right? Thank you for coming even though the weather is so cold". On the second day, BoA actually teared up while singing Hope. During the talk portion, she said something along the lines of "I didn't cry yesterday so I'm crying now to compensate for it. Why am I crying? There was even the event yesterday...". Some cried along with BoA while most chanted "Don't cry!". After she managed to control her emotions, she went around the stage saying thank you.

I can't remember which part it was but BoA said something like "I can't do anymore songs! I'm dying!". Although everybody obviously wanted more of BoA, it is undeniable that the amount of energy she put into her performances is incredible even though the concert only lasted 2.5h. If you think watching her dance videos is impressive, you should watch her live. The amount of energy she has when she dances is just WOW. To be honest I don't know which other solo artist can do it like her. Solid dance performance + all live singing = only BoA can do it!! It definitely is like what BoA said before "Expect a high quality performance". She definitely kept to her word!!
