Well Saturday was the concert so to all those lucky fans that were able to go…. I hate you all so much (nay just kinding), and to those that couldn’t go *sigh* hopefully we will be lucky next time to see them in person. Since I wasn’t one of the lucky people to go I really can’t give a great deal of description on the concert, but we will have one thanks to a loyal Shenyuepop reader Kimi who was able to go and will share her experience with us.
But from what I can get from the fan-cam videos and pictures the stage was kind of small, not the usual large scale stages they are used to. The stage was kind of bare with big TV screens plastered in the background; very theater like stage, some light work but not fancy or high scale light work, and no special stages. Which I think is ok because it just showcased their vocals even better. Brian and Hwanhee did solo and group songs, dancing, and all round entertaining performances as if it was a high scale concert. They looked hot as always wearing suits and Hwanhee even ripped off his shirt in one performance….

Not only did they perform they also played some games with the fans…..
it kind of seems like it was more like a fan meeting than a concert to me. Some fans account was that both Brian and Hwanhee were so sweet and kind, and took the time out to talk to everyone, but they did notice that Hwanhee was kind of shy especially when it came to him speaking in english…yes he and Brian talked in english, but I think Brian probably talked more than Hwanhee because of the language barrier. But it’s good that Hwanhee tried and all. After the concert they sighed autographs for fans like 100 or more, not sure.
little side infor
One of the reasons why FTTS decided to go to Hawaii was that Brian’s brother lives there who also was there at the concert. Brian’s brother was so shy on the stage……GOD! I think the hot gene must run in the family because his brother hot too….here is a link to the video of Brian’s brother on stage with him…

Hey everyone my girl Kimi sent us an account of that night’s event.
The concert started at 7:00pm and ended around 9:45pm. Although it wasn’t a sold-out event, I would estimate that maybe 1600 of the 1700 seats were filled.
Opening – 24/7 Dance Force (a local street dance group)
Welcoming Address by David Lim
“My Angel”
“Habit”
“Right Here Waiting”
“Like a Man”Brian Solo Mix
“Don’t Go”
“First Date”
“Gentleman”
“Resemblance”
“Because I Don’t Love You”
HwanHee Solo Mix
“Tomorrow”
“Can’t Help Missing You”
“Shallow Love” (HwanHee strips his shirt off at the end!)“The Girl Is Mine” / “Man 2 Man”
“Sea of Love”
“Missing You”
“Although My Heart Aches” “Gaseum Apado”
Because there were no moving stages or other props to help them out, the guys did a lot of moving around. In particular, HwanHee’s solo mix was filled with his hot dance moves and also featured a few male back-up dancers. (Here in Hawaii, we’ve had a few Korean music productions but not many of them brought back-up dancers, so this was a treat!). At the end of his set, he strips off his shirt! But it was a short-lived moment … he immediately turned around and walked toward the back of the stage. A lot of people just got photos of his bare back for this reason … they weren’t expecting it and it came and went too fast!
During “Right Here Waiting For You”, originally sung by Richard Marx, they brought out the gentleman who wrote “My Angel” to accompany their vocals on the piano. The guys did a nice version of the song.
“The Girl is Mine” / “Man 2 Man” … Brian and HwanHee played off each other … both chasing after the same girl. They got into a choreographed fight scene which was really cool and danced with a female dancer who came on stage for a minute or so to bump and grind with them.
Just like in Korea, you could hear the entire theatre singing along to “Missing You”, “Sea of Love” and “Gaseum Apado”. During the last song, Brian and HwanHee went into the audience and shook hands, hugged people, etc. All the while, you could still hear the song being sung by the audience without any vocals by FTTS. It was too cool!In between sets, there was fan interaction and giveaways of autographed “Over the Rainbow” DVD boxed sets, calendars, CDs, etc. Lucky girls who won! They got to play a game in which a balloon was placed between them and either Brian or HwanHee (one on one), and the goal was to hug them until the balloon popped. You don’t know how jealous I was! Brian, in particular, was having a lot of fun with this. He picked girls up, spun them around and hugged them really tight until the balloons popped.
Contestants were chosen by a random drawing of seat numbers.Brian was VERY sweet and funny, while HwanHee seemed a little shy. Both were appreciative of their fans and spoke of coming back to the Islands in the future to perform a bigger scale concert.
Thank you Kimi for that account of the concert.:D
Even though the stage was small I am happy they actually did a US concert and is a great start that may lead to future performance here in the States. WE LOVE YOU FTTS!
