Arirang Grand Concert

Assalamualaikum. Last week, we (Ana and me) got an invitation to Arirang Grand Concert. Ktorg dapat invitation pun sebab ktorg one of KINSA members. Tu pun ktorg sign up last minute. Kalau tak, tak boleh join. Tak tahu lah yang datang malam tu KINSA members only or orang luar pun boleh datang tapi dikenakan bayaran/sememangnya free (kalau free memang daebak!). But, for sure lah kena inform attendance kat secretariat dulu. Mana-mana event pun macam tu (except for VIP).

KINSA (Korea International Student Association) memang selalu update event-event yang ada kat Korea. So, uols can check out their Facebook Page or visit their website. Kalau nak jadi member boleh lah sign up kat website dia okay? :)

Meet Ana, my brother-in-law's sister.
Korean language student at Seoul National University (SNU).

Muka bahagia. Thanks to KINSA yang sudi jemput kami! Tak pasal-pasal dapat attend Arirang Concert for free.

Disebabkan terlalu excited, ktorg pun masuk awal. Then, we spotted goodie bags on each seats. Dalamnya ada event booklet, gendang tangan (I don't know what they call it) and DIY lantern. My first impression is "Dah lah masuk free, dapat pulak macam ni".

Tak lama lepas tu, konsert pun dimulakan dengan persembahan Arirang Symphony by KBS Orchestra (Symphony Orchestra, Traditional Music Orchestra, Pops Orchestra).

Soparno by Jo Su Mi dan diiringi oleh Uijeongbu-civic Choir.

Kim Deok Soo and K'ARTS in One Art Troupe. 

Jazz Arirang, Shin Ye Won.

DIY lantern. 

Guk Soo Ho's Didim Dance Troupe.

Arirang Fantasy.

Rock Arirang by PIA (band). Time ni aku rasa macam 'cepat lah habis'. Ya Allah nak pecah jantung aku. Tapi pakcik makcik yang duduk seats depan boleh lagi head banging. 

Arirang Eoulrim by Yang Bang Eon, the pianist and Shin Jae Hyeon, Ajaeng (Bowed Zither) player.

Two of Ahn Sook Seon's pupils. 

Andddd the entire cast!

Seriously, memang best sangat kalau tengok live. Time ni lah nak feeling-feeling jadi heroine historical drama (gittew :p). Padahal kalau nampak performance macam ni kat TV, tak sampai 5 saat dah tukar channel. Oh by the way, dorang ada buat on air sempena Chuseok (perayaan Korea). Channel KBS WORLD, 15 September 2013 at 10PM. (Kot-kot lah ada muka aku. Hiks!)

Can't wait for upcoming Chuseok! :D
