Dong Bang Shin Ki finally finished their MIROTIC concert in Seoul yesterday which was held for 3 days, from February 20th - 22nd at Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium, thus announced their kick off to their third Asia live concert tour, TVXQ THE 3rd ASIA TOUR CONCERT-MIROTIC.
The concert hall has capacity of 12,000 people, and as the 3 days MIROTIC concert tickets are all sold out, the audiences that filled the hall for three days straight are 36,000 people. TVXQ’s MIROTIC concert that was running for 2 hours and 30 minutes gave a spectacular attraction as being evaluated.
The MIROTIC concert showed performances taken from their 4th album released last year with the same title. All Dong Bang Shin Ki members were highlighted for their most outstanding abilities and their performances were called ‘ARTISTIC’, which means the audiences could interacted with the stars during the concert with ‘FANTASTIC’ concept under three kinds of configurations.
There are 5 kinds of luxury factors that can be said as the main points of this concert. The first one is of course, the singing/music ability of all 5 members.
MIROTIC concert was a live concert, and for those who doubt about Dong Bang Shin Ki’s live singing ability, should reconsider their thought again. Dong Bang Shin Ki has proved their singing ability live in many aspects. The MR video evindences, for instance. Netizens recently found another tool to remove music recording (MR) so that only the singers’ voices that would be clearly heard, and Dong Bang Shin Ki gracefully surpassed all netizens’ expectations, as their voices are not an inch close to error. This concert is only one of the proofs.
After three consecutive songs with powerful performance, even in ballads, their amount of mistakes is still tollerable. Tone was not shaking, and the audiences were all attracted by the members’ well-performed stage actions.
Second factor is the direction/the flow of the concert.
MIROTIC concert was definitely directed smoothly. There were 26 songs in total performed within 2 hours and 30 minutes made the costume changing time was so tight, yet they managed to run everything well. Videos that were inserted between this short of time were extremely well-made, the high quality ones.
Lead to the next gig, ‘Balloons’ performance that became natural bridge to the childhood times and Choikang Changmin’s performance of ‘Oh Yoo Way’ showing his electric guitar plays, inserted rock vibe to the song (T/N and some lines I really can’t get the meaning at all).
Off to the third factor, the many stage devices. A super wide LED screen 56m x 6m size built at the background. There were also five small-screens, to show each individual members on the screen. Stage direction was also installed on the top of the stage added up circle line device which consisted of 310 circular fluorescent lamps, and 8 meters high lift was also fantastic.
Fourth, Dong Bang Shin Ki’s ability to make climax of the concert and charisma to lead the audiences made 2 hours and 30 minutes was just not enough.
And the wide range of age of the audiences watching this concert would be the fifth. Fans brought their families, because even people in their 30-40 could enjoyed the show when mostly idol groups can only be accepted by people in 10-20 range of age.
This is not surprising as Dong Bang Shin Ki really knows how to treat their wide age-range of fans. For the youngsters, a short yet sweet performance of “Lullaby Eunhasu” and “Balloons” could fulfilled their taste. In mean time for the olders, “It’s My World”, which was one of a hit aged song was also performed.
MIROTIC concert wasn’t only watched by “ordinary” people. Stars from variety of fields were also coming. The swimming star Park Tae-hwan, basketball star Yang Hui-jong, model Lee Hyo-jae, Kim Hyoon-joong, Yeon Jeong-hoon, Park Ji Bin, Nick Bass, Justin Timberlake’s choreographer were spotted among the audiences, enjoying the feast of TVXQ.
And on the top of that, this is just the start. TVXQ THE 3rd ASIA TOUR CONCERT-MIROTIC will continue to Taipei, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Beijing, and another tour in 6 cities in Japan.
