나연
I heard it's really hard to get tickets?
0:18
0:20
현우
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.
나연
Nayeon: Ah, for big concerts like this, you really have to plan ahead and go early.
0:27
0:32
현우
Hyunwoo: Yeah, exactly.
0:34
현우
But when I finally managed to get there, it even started raining, the line was super long, and even finding the entrance was hard.
0:40
현우
Still, as soon as I got inside, it was absolutely insane!
0:43
현우
Especially when 'DDU-DU DDU-DU' came on—the crowd's reaction and the fireworks going off…

It was fantastic.

현우
Hyunwoo: Yeah, totally!
1:05
현우
Even though the line was long, everyone got in within 5 minutes, and the staff guided us really well.

현우
And since you couldn't use your phone inside, everyone just focused on the performance.
1:15
현우
When “Jump!” appeared on the screen, the whole crowd jumped, and when it said “Please sit”, everyone sat down together...
1:19
현우
It was really amazing.
나연
Nayeon: Oh wow, such a different vibe!
1:21

Korean concerts are like this explosion of passion, while Japanese concerts are more like an organized kind of energy.

Both have their own charm!
