#beautifulshow2013 #mustread A fanaccount by one of the members of the security team deployed during BEAST's concert

By chance, our company was employed to be in-charge of security for BEAST's concert this time.
I'm here after working in the concert for two days.
I'm a guy so I'm interested in girl groups like 4MINUTE, SNSD, APINK
Therefore to be honest, I don't have a large interest in BEAST.
I have interest in celebrities though since I like girl groups
I paid attention to BEAST since their 'Shock' and 'Special' promotion days.
'Special's' exciting beat had me fascinated
When I heard 'Shock' mp3, I wasn't all that excited but hearing it on broadcast together with the fancheers made it really exciting.
Especially the shiver that comes with the people who shouts/cheers for 'Shock'.
To be honest, from the time 'Special' was released up till now, I've had it in my MP3 playlist and it hasn't been deleted.
But it's only to that extend. It's only up till that extend my interest in BEAST.

Therefore, I was thinking that it'll just be an event to work at with no other feelings.
And by luck yesterday I was placed inside the venue.
Therefore I was able to watch from the rehearsals all the way to the actual concert.
Most of the other artist do a rough rehearsal but I saw a lot of sweat on BEAST's face during their rehearsal. It was to that extend.
From then on, I started to re-think about BEAST.
With popularity that's not just a little, with no conceit/arrogance, they're really artists who are professionals.

The thing I remember the most
Lee Kikwang-goon's solo stage's music and monitoring and more were not matching well and there was a lot of NG.
Kikwang-goon is also a human so of course it's hard...
Besides, the other members were in the waiting room resting because of the concert so it was even harder (on him).
But Kikwang-goon wanted it to be perfect to till then he kept trying.
Even when it ate into Kikwang-goon's own resting time because of it...
Even when the staff moved on, Kikwang-goon finished off his rehearsal perfectly.
I think Kikwang-goon's solo rehearsal alone took almost an hour.

Before the concert started we're supposed to make sure that the fans were orderly and listened to our instructions for admission
Honestly, there's a lot of instances where fans wanted to get into the venue quickly and ignored our instructions, making us really tired.
But the thousands of fans listened to us really well, entered and up till their own seats, sat down, leaving no room for accidents.. Thank you.

The people who were at the concert knows this but
From time to time the members will head over to the seating area.
To be honest, that moment was the moment I was really nervous about.
Because the fans might have wanted to see them closer, they could leave their seats, crowd at the railings, there could have been such a situation so there were concerns
But despite the members coming nearer to the seats
Fans seating in their own seats and cheering on
Seeing that image, once again, thank you.

When the concert started, I also had a good time watching and working.
But not long after it started, my ears caught a melody.
It's a really good song but... I have no idea what the title is.
So, after I got off work yesterday I went home, I looked up all the songs BEAST sang
I even listened to the OSTs they sang
However because there were too many songs, unfortunately I couldn't find it
In the end, without knowing the title of the song, I went to work today.
Again, the second day concert started and ended.

Watching the concert for the second time, if there was one thing that was the same
BEAST's songs, even songs I don't know, there's a lot of good songs.
Listening to the song's lyrics carefully and if it's catchy I'll try to guess the song's title but the song that came out in the early half of the concert, I still had no way of figuring out the title.
Even up till then, I couldn't find out the title of that song.

Like that, the second day ended and fans were starting to leave.
We were to make sure everyone got admitted (at the start) and only when fans all have left the venue then we were allowed to go.
So, we were all waiting for the fans to leave but.

Oh my god.....
Are all of BEAST's fans usually this kind....??
I saw the fans pick up all the litter around them and then left.
It's not even litter they themselves threw...
I even saw the fans who look like they were in middle school pick up the beer cans before leaving.
After the fans have all left, at least in the area I was in-charge of, there wasn't a single litter/waste left.

During that joyful atmosphere
The fans who looked like they were in middle school, said something to me.
"You worked hard...."
I'm touched by that phrase alone.
Other people would have just left...
You're not BEAST, even our concert crew didn't write something like that.....
Even I thought that was a given.

Therefore I smiled and said thank you but
Right at that moment the song I was curious about throughout the two days came to mind.
I asked those fans what's the title of the song.

They were all too ready to give me an answer...
It's 'Midnight'....
So I asked "This song that says '별 헤는 밤' (Doojoon's line in the song)"
And they gave me an answer.
The song is good, right? So I definitely had to download the song
After buying the song, I really like it a lot.

After the concert ended, I was placed at the venue where BEAST was leaving.
During these two days, I felt touched and thankful a lot towards BEAST members and their fans
Seeing the members' face, I thought "Let's go home"
If I wasn't placed there to work, I would have been able to go home but if I hadn't been placed there,
I would have gone voluntarily (and placed myself there).

It was about an hour before the members came out.
The members didn't forget to say thank you greetings to all the fans who wanted outside the exit.
And to me who was standing at the side too, they greeted me
"Thank you. You worked hard."
How touched was I by those two phrases...
I'm not even a Cube Entertainment employee
I'm just someone who helps out at the event, to someone they don't even know
To give that kind of thank you....

These two days, after experiences both BEAST and their fans
I too, wanted to become a BEAST fan so I joined (this cafe).
Although I am a male fan that is way older than the BEAST members
After being touched like this for two days, there's just no way not to be a fan.
The artists' heart are pretty so the fans' hearts are pretty too
BEAST members' heart are so kind so they are able to have only good/nice people as fans.
I think that because everyone's heart is so pretty so everyone's faces are also pretty.

With that warm heart, on the way home
Shadow, Midnight, Will You Be Alright, I'm Sorry, Special, these five songs I listened on endless repeat,
Reaching home, I wrote this post.

In just two days.
I've become a BEAST's fan.
