Anyway, watching it I noticed that the chants were pretty heavy on the 'Girls Generation' part of the performance. I searched for a HQ vid online and I found them deleted. I only found the youtube version and the sound aint so great. But here it is and listen out for the 'wonder girls' chants during the 'GG' performance.
I was so uncomfortable for plenty of reasons and I wanted to know the truth behind it. In the SYP comments in the anti-thread, I remembered reading something about the fanwar. A wonderFuls account.
credit:ching_wonderfulYou guys, after the special stage, Wonder Girls + Soshi fanclubs decides to fight in the end .. so what happened was while Wonder Girls were performing Kissing You, Soshi fans were screaming the part of their chants for their girls which goes like Ji Geum Eun Sonyushidae, Aperodo Sonyeoshidae, Youngwonie Sonyeoshidae and after Sun Mi sang her part first, the fans shouted Seo Joohyun which angered a lot of WonderFuls. Also during Tell Me, where WonderFuls usually say, "Sun Mi Gah Jo Ah," the Wonderfuls informed the Soshi fans again again and again not to use that chant but they shouted "Fany Gah Jo ah" during the Tell Me performance. A fan wrote, "You guys .. watch out .. you guys hurt our kids .. you guys watch out .. still we wanted to stay MannerFuls .. and I said after I watched Music Bank .. that both teams did really well .. you guys did this .. to our kind Wonder Girls .. you do this kind of things ... during Dream Concert .. we didn't do anything wrong to you .. you guys watch out .. our Wonder Girls babies .. you guys hurt them .. I can never forgive you guys .."
I didnt understand this initially. And it made me even more curious. SO while searching for the HQ SNSD performance, I came upon this little gem. An SNSD fanboys fancam of all the DRESS REHEARSALS. In Music Bank from all that Ive seen its become obvious what they do. They have two dress rehearsals. One behind closed doors, and one in front of the crowd. A run through for individual performances and then a run through for the entire show with all the artists performing according to the final schedule.
Seo Johyun if you didnt know is the magnae of SNSD, Seo hyun (SeoWHo). In this fancam you see the fanwar develop slowly. First thing you see a Taeyeon fancam of 'Babay Baby/GG', and you can tell nothing has really happened. In fact pay attention to the crazy Fanboy screaming. HES UNBELIEVABLY FUNNY AND HARDCORE, King Bonerific in my opinion. (he goes on through out the whole thing). But it starts to unravel during the WG 'Kissing you' dress rehersal (pay attention their wearing their 'So hot' clothes. Thats where the previous quote made sense. You can clearly here the Soshi fans scream 'Seo JoHyun'. You can see Sunmi clearly thanks to the fanboy fancamming. She is visibly hurt by it. Though being the trooper she is, tries to hide it.
Here's the vid:
I warn you its quite long, but here are some of my observations (Note: the reason the SNSD cheers are louder is because its the SNSD section and its an SNSD fan video, you can see the pink hearted balloons when they leave the stage):
- that fanboy seriously needs a strepsil.
- What the hell is that song?!
- Soshi fans are over-exerting themselves. (Got something to prove, eh? ;)
- Pay attention to their facial expressions, especially Yoona, she looked SO pleased in the rehearsal. And then in the live, she was not so pleased.
- Why do they have to jump in every performance, when their skirts are so short? O_O
- Minute 9:10, WG 'Kissing You' starts. (you'll learn to differentiate between SNSD fan cheers and WGs, cos of that bloody fanboy that wont stop screaming).
- Mintue 9:20, scream 'Seo JoHyun'. Pay attention to Sunmi's eyes, poor baby. <3 (I had to look up what the hell Seo JoHyun was, before I found it to be the real name of SeoWho.) So to all the squabbles between fans, this SNSD fanvid is proof that they did in fact provoke the usually peaceful and lovable WonderFuls. You can pretty much tell how shocked the WonderFuls were, you dont hear them much through out this performance.
- Minute 12 something. The beginning chant is not the orignal WonderFul one, but an adjusted one to fit SNSD. (ithink thats what is mentioned in the above quote). Its also when the screams start, proper start.
- they all looked happier and more upbeat during the rehearsal, note that The 'Kim Hyoyeon' chanting during the dance solo changed in the actual live performance to Miwoyo. (hate you). Smart eh? (Pay attention to Yoona and Jessica, they change dramatically in the live performance. I never saw Yoonas teeth when she smiled during the live, shes all crazy smile happy in the rehearsal)
- Damn that fanboy is starting to get annoying.
- Minute 15:02 (damn this is really long, I'm wasting precious minutes of my life... well i had nothing better to do) 'So Hot' rehearsal. Listen to the rejuvenated WonderFuls. Determination, Begin. ( who knew fan-switzerland could be provoked so much) Sunmi also looks brighter, pay attention to the So hot chant, you will hear it during the SNSD live perf.
- That damn fanboy finally shut up. I like how the bloody jerk filming also zooms out when he sees Sunmi pleased and not on the verge of tears.
- Sunmi is so cute. ^________^ Look at her lip synch with Yoobins rapping.
Why did I bother with this? Well firstly when curiousity stikes, one must satisfy its hunger. Secondly, this is one of the reasons I turned anti. The SNSD fans. Nothing was happening and they provoked the calm WonderFuls. A lot of whats happened is brought on by themselves and then the Soshi fans turn around and blame the antis for everything. They shouldnt give us credit for something they did themselves. I hang around the Korean fancafes and Bulletin Boards and you see these Soshi fans constantly provoke other fandoms online too. This is extremely relevant because fans are meant to represent their idols. And vice versa.
This subject was pretty rife when the Special was still on and Im sorry to the WonderFuls here for bringing up bad memories. Though the postive thing from this is, it shows how innocent the WonderFuls were in this.
Best thing of SNSD and their fandom in my opinion is this:
They make you appreciatte every other artist and fandom so much more.
Sorry for wasting precious minutes of your lives, but I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. If you guys want me to post the live perfs of the special stage, just say the word
