I've always wanted to do the 'fans at the airport' thing.

It would probably piss me off when I was there, though. Like, I'm a fanboy through and through, but I also want to give the idols their space.

Yeah im really on the fence abt it, it doesnt seem like they enjoy it either

I mean, being there, screaming out and cheering for them from a respectable distance? 100% in favor of that.

Invading their personal space, as 'entitled fans' are prone to do? No thanks.

Yep.

Literally the only time they seemed happy to see fans at the airport was when they went to Russia and the fans were, like, standing back giving them plenty of distance, staying in one place instead of following/crowding them, and being relatively quiet/subdued.

Airport stalking in general I think is pretty extra, like, as much as it would be cool to see them, I'm sure the idols are too tired and would rather chill while they still have time

On my tumblr dash I'd see a cool photo and be tempted to reblog it but at the same time I feel guilty because they look so restless and over everything lol

I went once and stood far back in a cafe. I HATED every moment of it. It seemed so excessive and impersonal. I know fans like it, but I am not one of those fans.

One thing I've noticed about everyone who has seen Suho up close is that they always end up gushing about how great he looks in person. lol

Cosigning this. I went with my friends who also like EXO, one who always insisted she thought Suho was the least attractive and she completely changed her mind about him when we went to this show. Lmao

Did you all do a hi-touch or was it just the concert?

There was no hi-touch for any of the North American shows I believe, just a concert. Though if anything I'm relieved there's no hi-touch lol

I'm happy to hear Kyungsoo seemed to be in good spirits!

One of the English-language Kai fansite admins who was there documenting the concert was being weirdly hostile about him, so I didn't know if he was in a bad mood or what...

The show overall was pretty good, despite it starting late, and how the people in the pit wouldn't listen to Exo basically pleading for everyone to move back and it took like 5 minutes lol

It could've been messier though so I'm thankful nothing TOO drastic happened. Hopefully next time I'll try going for GA tickets instead, though that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy myself in the Lodge seating where I could freely move & dance a little unlike everyone else below who had their phones out the whole time aha. We're supposed to jump for Drop That you guys!

I have a very strong feeling more SM concerts in NA will happen soon, and that Exo will return at least next year (and hopefully at a nicer venue)

omg i was in the pit on the right side of the stage and some girl threw up right in front of me and it took like 15 mins for someone to come by and clean it up -__-

the pit was a damn mess but it was still so fun lmao

omfg RIP honestly like... so many fans need to chill like dang... plus I saw that at least 2 or 3 girls fainted, one of them fainting before the show even started . _.

I was so conflicted and even now I'm like hmmm would I really enjoy the pit more or...? But yeah! Hopefully next Exo concert I'll meet some people here on Omona and be classy together

Yeah :( He seemed withdrawn already since Tao left. I wouldn't mind if he left to do his own thing at this point.

There's been plenty of issues with this tour, but the guys' performances have made up for them.

Asian Junkie posted some fanacc. from Vancouver, apparently they have to stop the show for few minutes because fans went crazy in a pit.

Oh my gooood. Out of all the kpop concerts I've gone to, this is probably my favorite one hands down but I'm probably being biased af. LOL Suho speaking english was the cutest thing. It was SO loud in the stadium we could barely hear Suho speaking and at one point he just laughs and goes, "You have to attention me!" which just made the crowd scream harder. XD Xiumin was cheesy as eff calling everyone Lovely Angels bc LA, and DO being super hyper with his aegyo made my night. I could talk more and more about it but I don't want to bore everyone. To everyone else going to the next few concerts..that Promise VCR will mess you up. Bring tissues. LOL

But let me just say - I talked about this on twitter but I just wanted to rant about it again. Before the concert started, I saw a BTS fangirl who was not only wearing a BTS shirt - she also had her BTS lightstick with her. My friend and I went, "You're at the wrong venue!!" at her playfully and I don't think she heard us but at the same time....Why would you even do that?! I don't understand.

This concert was so much fun!! I almost passed out around the second ment and MiD but I was fine after drinking some of that lemonade those guys kept selling.

Baekhyun is gorgeous. Everyone is gorgeous. My friend who doesn't even like Exo that much aplit second decided to go the morning of the concert. She came out of it calling Chanyeol "My Chanyeol" and in love with Sehun. It was great, pit was a mess, so much pushing with no where to go.

Anyone else who was on the right side of pit?

Ugh yes, i was kind of hapoy before the show started because i could clearly see the stage and there were people shorter than me in front. But damn, it was like everyone holding up their phone had giraffe arms. I had yo keep moving around to even see clearly

Ngl I can't help but think the reason why EXO never came to Toronto was because Kris was here for the NBA games...


Somebody above mentioned Lay being absent for a lot of the group activities. Honestly I think the only reason why he's still part of the group is so people don't talk even more smack about Chinese people.

Where else could they play? With such a big event taking the weekend, I imagine lodging would be jacked up in prices.

Also, I think the drama Lay is in is supposed to be huge. I can see how that is priority over this tour. It's a good opportunity for him as well. Honestly, I just want them all to pursue their dreams in and out of the band.

I heard that show was a mess. I feel bad for the well behaved stans there because EXO probably didn't have great memories from it.

The show was sooooo good. I was on the left side near the front of the pit, I got to see them up close and it was so surreal! But it was so crowded I thought I was going to pass out lmao. I considered moving to the back with my friends but then during Playboy Xiumin came up and made eye contact with me for a few seconds (which made me life) and I decided to stay there for the majority of the show lmao


Chens voice is so so beautiful live, and they all look irl as they do on a computer screen. Suho and Kai were especially pretty up close though!
