Nayeon: Hey, I saw on your Instagram that you went to a concert recently?
The photos looked really cool.
Hyunwoo: Oh, that's right.
I recently saw the BLACKPINK concert at the Gocheok Sky Dome.
It was totally awesome.
Nayeon: Whoa, BLACKPINK?
I'm so jealous!
I heard it's really hard to get tickets?
Hyunwoo: Yeah, there were so many people that a bunch of subways just passed by, and taxis were hard to catch, so I was almost late.
Nayeon: Ah, for big concerts like this, you really have to plan ahead and go early.
Hyunwoo: Yeah, exactly.
But when I finally managed to get there, it even started raining, the line was super long, and even finding the entrance was hard.
Still, as soon as I got inside, it was absolutely insane!
Especially when 'DDU-DU DDU-DU' came on—the crowd's reaction and the fireworks going off…
It was fantastic.
Nayeon: Wow…
I wish I could've gone with you!
Let's definitely go together next time.
By the way, didn't you also see a concert in Japan?
Hyunwoo: Yeah, I saw ZUTOMAYO in Saitama.
Nayeon: Oh, how was it?
I heard concerts in Japan have a bit of a different atmosphere.
Hyunwoo: Yeah, totally!
Even though the line was long, everyone got in within 5 minutes, and the staff guided us really well.
And since you couldn't use your phone inside, everyone just focused on the performance.
When “Jump!” appeared on the screen, the whole crowd jumped, and when it said “Please sit”, everyone sat down together...
It was really amazing.
Nayeon: Oh wow, such a different vibe!
Korean concerts are like this explosion of passion, while Japanese concerts are more like an organized kind of energy.
Both have their own charm!
Hyunwoo: Exactly.
I'd love to go again if I get the chance.
You should come too!
Nayeon: Sounds good!
Let's go together next time!
