SF9's "2017 Be My Fantasy in USA" assured in Boston, MA at the Wilbur Theatre. Here's a epitomize of what went on the night of November 19, 2017 (Here's a spoiler: it was abounding of hype, visuals, and incomparable choreography.)
SF9, FNC Entertainment's aboriginal boy group, alone debuted a little over a year ago, but they've already developed a able all-embracing attendance with appearances at KCON NY, KCON LA, and their Japanese debut. Their acceptance and the adherence of their admirers was evident. 'Fantasies', their name for their fans, braved the Boston apprehension and rain for hours, cat-and-mouse alfresco for the concert with signs and banners of their biases deeply clutched.
Anticipation alone grew already admirers had entered the venue. Fantasies sang forth to songs from SF9's anthology arena throughout the venue, with a lit banderole of SF9 on date ambience the arena for the jams and atomic performances to come.
When the lights went bottomward and SF9 assuredly entered the date in white, red, and atramentous blooming jackets, atramentous t-shirts, and styled hair, the army went wild. SF9 opened with their admission song Fanfare, applicable to accessible the night with its signature point choreography and able beats. Admirers are hardly accustomed a adventitious to blow afore they calmly alteration into Roar, the advance distinct from their aboriginal mini album. Their performances were abounding with hyped-up adlibs and fanservice - at one point, rapper Zuho took his anorak off, eliciting a ample barrage from fans.
After the aboriginal two songs began the Q&A allocation of the fanmeet, facilitated by the Subkulture host Danny Lim. Anniversary affiliate alien themselves in English, with Jaeyoon, especially, eliciting a huge acclamation from the army with a loud "Hi Boston!!!"
SF9 wouldn't be complete afterwards a bulk of puns. "I'm Boss," said Youngbin, who afresh gestured to Inseong, "and he's Ton."
After this Q&A section, area the associates discussed what they did in Boston, (Inseong and Dawon approved Boston's acclaimed lobster rolls, and Inseong fabricated a advertence to the Boston Red Sox in allurement if anyone on date was cutting red socks. To his disappointment, no one was.) the appearance progressed assimilate a articulation in which anniversary affiliate showcased their alone charms. These charms were called by admirers via a analysis appear by SubKulture above-mentioned to the US tour's alpha - a fun, innovative, and alternate way to ensure that admirers see the agreeable that they want.
While baton Youngbin bidding aplomb in both his brawl and his rap, admirers chose for him to advertise his dancing abilities - amidst a able choreography that showed his aciculate moves with Inseong and Jaeyoon to aback him up, Youngbin additionally performed the abominable 'Backpack Kid' meme dance.
Inseong, the 'brain' of the group, showcased his bookish agreeableness with a accelerated area of Boston trivia. In acknowledgment to questions like "What accompaniment does Boston accord to?", "Name three colleges or universities in the area", and "What is the name of the area in Boston?", Inseong was endearingly stumped, but admirers were acquisitive to advice him out and bark out the answers. Danny Lim afresh did a rollcall of admirers from bounded colleges like Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern University, and the University of Massachusetts. There was a able attendance of Boston Fantasies!
Jaeyoon, the group's 'honey vocal', showed off his articulation to the admirers with "Thunder" and "Believer" by Imagine Dragons. He was accompanied with Taeyang as a beatboxer and Inseong and Youngbin as advancement dancers, assuming SF9's antic abandon alongside his talent.
Speaking of SF9's antic side, the baron of advertising and allotment of the group's gagline Dawon was up next! He best Chani, the group's maknae, to comedy 'Cham Cham Cham' with. For those who don't know, 'Cham Cham Cham' is a Korean bold in which you try to abstain axis your arch in the administration best by your opponent. Dawon won best two out of three, acceptation Chani faced the abuse of accepting bonked on the arch by a comically ample dejected toy hammer. Chani afresh asked to comedy the bold one added time, and best Hwiyoung, the additional youngest, as his opponent. Their archness shows off the "Hwichan" friendship: Chani devilishly greeted Hwiyoung with the dejected abuse hammer, and, afterwards losing, Hwiyoung cautiously blocked the bang with a baby pot. Area did the pot appear from? We don't know, but we absolutely enjoyed watching the youngest associates of SF9 accept fun on stage.
The abutting affiliate to advertise his charms was Rowoon, the beheld of the group. Boldy, he gestures to fans: "Hey you. You. You. I adulation you," he declared, and afresh beatific big hearts and kisses to the crowd. Admitting aloof demonstrating his absorbing charm, his adventures were anon followed with a abashed "I'm so shy! Oh my god." The duality of SF9's "palm tree", as coined by Inseong, absolutely won over abounding Fantasies that night.
Zuho, the group's "sexy rapper", showed off both his rapping and singing. Initially acrimonious out a advantageous fan in the army and rapping sensually to them, Zuho absitively to authorize himself as a multi-talented man and sing as well, showcasing his candied vocals and croaking accent with his allotment from the clue "詩 ; 00:00". He apologized for actuality hardly ailing (but it absolutely alone fabricated his articulation huskier, so of advance Fantasies can't complain).
Taeyang, SF9's capital dancer, featured his able brawl abilities with babe accumulation dances - namely, the abominable IOI clue Very Very Very. SF9 accustomed themselves as prime entertainers, with Dawon jumping out to accomplish an acutely added adaptation of the brawl alongside Taeyang, and Rowoon authoritative Taeyang accomplish the absolute affair afresh - but this time with his aback appear the audience, giving Fantasies a accomplished new view.
This charms allocation concluded with Hwiyoung showcasing his bendable rap with his allotment from "詩 ; 00:00", and maknae Chani assuming off his agrarian allure with a affectation of "kabedon" adjoin Youngbin. Fantasies were absolutely charmed by anniversary alone member's displays!
SF9 isn't all aloof fun and amateur (despite the immense bulk of fun they had aloof had). Almost like they acquainted the charge to re-assert themselves and their brawl prowess, the accumulation calmly transitioned into their two hardest and best avant-garde choreographies: K.O., and Jungle Game. K.O. appearance a alternating caster fabricated up of associates in the song's alpha and Jungle Bold includes a 'Transformer' choreography, dances incomparable in their adroitness and power. SF9 afresh performed a awning of Austin Mahone's 'Dirty Work', bond in their archness with their able choreography and abacus in affluence of fanservice.
SF9 afresh went on to addition articulation of games, with the associates bond up to complete challenges like bustling a airship with a hug, an English tongue-twister, and clear-sighted jumprope, all aural 90 seconds. Back SF9 alone has nine members, that larboard one affiliate to be commutual up with a advantageous fan from the audience, best from a raffle ticket. The fan was greeted acquiescently by the accumulation as she absolved up to her accomplice for the claiming of communicable a ball, alike accepting a hug from Dawon! However, the accumulation bootless the aboriginal time about afterwards Zuho and Inseong met agitation bustling a balloon. On their additional try, afterwards switching about ally and allotment a new fan from the audience, they succeeded!
The fan accustomed a active album, although she met some (cute!) adversity aggravating to spell out her name to her partner, Hwiyoung. While she accustomed her reward, the added associates spent time signing balloons and casting them out into the admirers as keepsakes. Rowoon, Taeyang, and Jaeyoon alike kissed one of the balloons afore sending it out - however, abundant to the audience's dismay, it was popped in the action of actuality caught.
The associates afresh larboard the date to activate up and bound change outfits. In added stops of the Be My Fantasy tour, this abeyance was taken up by a beautiful VCR of the associates roleplaying boyfriends. Unfortunately, the Boston area lacked a awning and projector, so Fantasies anesthetized the time instead by alert to a recording of members' admired songs with added commentary. Unsurprisingly, their admired songs are all SF9 songs: Youngbin brand 'Fanfare', Inseong brand 'Jungle Game', and Jaeyoon brand 'Let's Adhere Out', prefacing his best with a sweet, "Fantasy, wanna adhere out together?". SF9's "middle" band all brand songs from their latest anthology Knights of the Sun, with Dawon affection 'Scold', Rowoon affection 'Blank', and Zuho affection their appellation clue 'O Sole Mio'. Keeping with the self-promoting pattern, SF9's youngest band additionally loves songs from their own discography.
When SF9 assuredly took the date already again, they were in red, fringe-covered jackets, lit up with orange lights for the animating and fanservice-filled date of 'Let's Adhere Out'. They afresh transitioned into the appellation of their aftermost album, 'Easy Love'. Admitting the song starting out on the slower side, the group's aciculate moves kept up the energy, with anniversary movement aggrandized by the clear breeze of their binding jackets.
All acceptable times, however, charge appear to an end, and afterwards a cyclone of amazing choreography and archness the accumulation had accustomed at their catastrophe ment. Wilbur Theatre was lit up by Fantasies all singing an aboriginal 'Happy Birthday' to Youngbin, built-in on November 23rd and adorned in a altogether hat accustomed by a fan. Inseong additionally filmed the army adage "I adulation you, Inseong!" for a video. "We will appear aback again", the accumulation declared, with Youngbin acquiescently cogent anybody to "please go home safe."
The guitars of their latest appellation clue and aftermost song of the night 'O Sole Mio' afresh began, catastrophe the concert with one aftermost amazing performance. The members, abounding of adulation and abhorrence to leave their Fantasies, spent a while demography selfies on fans' phones and giving out hearts and kisses; Youngbin alike teared up a little.
And with that, SF9's Be My Fantasy USA fanmeet bout came to an end - but, it marks a alpha of abounding things. SF9 is still alone a amateur group, but they've already accustomed themselves with a acknowledged all-embracing tour. They can alone go up from here, and they've accepted they accept the aptitude and appetite to go far. SF9's bout was additionally accepted by abounding for captivation a appearance in Boston, back best K-Pop groups opt for New York as a Northeastern stop. However, the Boston K-Pop arena was aloof accurate to be animate and well, and the success of this stop could be the aperture to Boston K-Pop admirers accepting alike added content.
