Prepare for a big K-pop gig next year as Korea's popular TV program Music Bank will be visiting Jakarta on March 2013.

“Music Bank live in Jakarta. March 9, 2013. Bung Karno Sports Stadium promoted by @Asiatopent and supported by @Marygopsstudios” the announcement from Marygops Studios twitter account read.

The event will feature top Korean artists including Super Junior, INFINITE, SISTAR, SHINee, BEAST, 2PM, TEEN TOP and Eru.

Music Bank is one of Korea’s most popular music programs aired by Korean Broadcasting System (KBS).

When K-pop took the world by storm, the program began a Music Bank World Tour that kicked off in Tokyo, Japan on July 13, 2011 and has visited three other cities; Paris, Hong Kong and Chile during 2012.

Excited for SISTAR, the only girls in the line up! Also curious to see BEAST & 2PM since I didn't attend their Jakarta concerts. Obviously happy for a chance to see SJ (and SHINee) again so quickly. The venue is the same open air stadium used for SMTOWN.

A day after my birthday omgg my Infinite bbs crossing my fingers I could go ;;;A;;;
But why GBK tho? It's too huge I can't see shit :c

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

I'M SERIOUSLY GOING!!!!11 But idk I just hope no shit will hinder me watching tbh ;__;
If you see a guy wearing a Second Invasion t-shirt that would probably be me lol XD

omg idk ure a guy OTL

LOL yes, I had a tribune seat in SMTOWN and basically watched the screen. You could get a standing ticket if you want to see your bias up close, but it'd be pretty tiring for a long collab concert tho.

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

I know! I'm really torn in between them tbh. I'm going with a friend and she just never went for standing festival but it's GBK so idk ;__;

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

GO WITH ME I NEED A FRIEND!!!!!
but when are they gonna start selling the tickets?

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

Will you be home then?? You're in Aussie right? If we really do meet then I hope you'll understand that I'm such an awkward turtle and please deal with the second-hand embarrassment if I ever induce due to my inability to contain my feels and hold back my fanboying self over Myungsoo lol idk I'm such a shy person but I could go crazy when I lose my shit ;__; But hey idk what will happen because tbh this is my first concert ever lmao and I'm really curious even myself as to how I would react if I ever see them live ;__; AND WHY AM I EVEN TALKING ABOUT MYSELF RN LMAO

Idk now I'm intensely stalking @AsiaTopent tbh, thanks to OP.

planning to go with my friend,cant wait to see teenfinite + sistar
they shouldve brought some nugus tho :c

[dilettantka.livejournal.com]

maybe they'll add more? :)

[dilettantka.livejournal.com]

i'm debating if it's worth going simply because of the size of the arena...

[nha2licious.livejournal.com]

Yup....same problem here. It's debating like "Should I get the (front-stage access) standing ticket but I'm afraid it's not worth it, but if I get the tribune ticket just because there's seats, I can't see anything but ants and tiny idols on stage" question, especially concerining the venue. I've watched football/soccer games there a lot and still not liking the "humongous" feeling of it for a concert.

Anyone can explain about GBK? I've never been in there so do you think it's worth to buy the VIP tix or standing festival is just ok? Which one is closer btw?

Also, I know that people aren't allowed to bring dslr, but how about regular digital cameras, or android maybe?

btw Exo should come tho, they're supposed to comeback already around beginning next year u_u

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Standing festival is definitely closer, but you'd probably be standing for 3 - 4 hours, so yeah. VIP is a bit farther but with direct view of the stage. The seating areas (VIP & tribune) are separated from the stage by a running track but during SMTOWN for example, they had tiny stage cars which the artists can ride around on to get closer to the audience.

Not sure about cameras tho.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

I hope people will stop using cameras tbh, can't see a shit last time everyone's busy recording the concert, aren't we suppose to enjoy the concert instead of stacking personal collection and inconveniencing others?

[nha2licious.livejournal.com]

I would say....it all depends on the venue AND the crowd. Oh, and LUCK. BIIIIGGG major factor on luck. Like Big Bang's concert, the Standing Area and VIP, I could say not worth the money at all because of the venue,the professionality from the organizers, and the fans/crowd itself. A friend who was on VIP told me that a girl went flipping out because her "seat" was blocked by a pillar. I was on standing area and although I looovveee the performance and sound of the concert itself, tbh I didn't enjoy the concert /shrug


*edisi curcol lol*

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

Are most concerts seated though? (except the festival area)
I thought it's more fun if everyone is standing lmao XD

Urgh okay, I got a little bit confused now. I kinda wanted to buy the standing ticket but I have a feeling that front seats will be dominated by ELFs (more like, i'm gonna get pissed for the whole concert being surrounded like that), or get the second/cheapest ticket. Aw well :/

2pm is not coming. they have concert in taiwan/shanghai on the same date

[rennonyanyan.livejournal.com]

not really excited. i only wanna see sistar and teen top. will buy last minute tix probably

[nha2licious.livejournal.com]

Me too. Although will not gonna like the traffic cuz it's, you know~ Saturday Night, at Semanggi/Senayan area...../shudders. And I live close to GBK/Semanggi/Sudirman.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

yeah, thinking about that as well, though if I'm going with some other people can just hang out around the area since noon, is it close to fx or senci or somewhere?

[rennonyanyan.livejournal.com]

actually it's not only during satnite. every concert held in GBK/Istora/JCC made traffic jam deadly as evar. if you're coming, to arrive on lunch time is a nice idea. you can go anywhere on foot once you're already in Senayan area.

[nha2licious.livejournal.com]

Was thinking to go just to see Infinite, BEAST, and Teen Top...but is it worth the money? /being rethoric

[jyouzebin.livejournal.com]

OMFG INFINITE?!!! MUST COME~!!1!!!!1
