Korea In Motion Festival 2013

Korea In Motion Festival 2013

What a lucky day it was for me, on August 31, 2013 along with a bunch of the naughtiest friends of mine, i attended this very colorful event of well awaited festival Korea in Motion, at Gwanghwamoon Cheonggye square of Seoul. 

The festival is simply called KO in MO, and it was well promoted before it is started properly.

The festival is all about Korean Performances, which are internationally famous. These performances are being provided to the tourists from all over the world in half of the original prices. This festival is held annually and is one of the very long festival of Seoul.

Opening ceremony of KO in MO  was surprisingly interesting as they showed 3 famous performances from the KO in MO festival live there for free.

Before the performances, anchors asked some questions to audiences present, questions were quite simple one, as i knew all the answers. For the very first question I raised my hand along with many others but luckily I was pointed out to answer in mike so I did, and guess what I won gift box from KTO. Waow,.. it was great. Gift Box included CD and a-T shirt personally singed by group members of famous music group MBLAQ, then 2 tickets of a performance included in KO in MO. That is why is was a very lucky day for me. 

The first performance after that prize winning quick quiz session was musical, theatrical but in Korean Language so was not that much appealing  but was interesting enough to hold the audiences till the end. 

After that performance while all of us were waiting for next performance, there came the rain..what a dramatic it was for all of us. People went off the show and stood under shades but the show continued with a thrilling performance of Drum Cats. Showers and drums quite a rare combination to be seen live though it was exciting and memorable indeed.

Showers kept on interfering but show moved to next level of excitement when some superbly stunning dance performances and B Boys move on the wet stage, being showed by the group Schoom. It was really brave to do those moves in raining as it was very slippery so not easy to hold and grip.

Then thanks God, rain stopped and we were back in the arena, but all our seats were captured by young Koreans especially girls who were waiting in the rain for one group...yes the MBLAQ.
When the appeared on the stage the opening ceremony turned into a concert. The camera flashes, videos making, shouting, singing along, oohz and aahz...all were there...and we were really enjoying that environment there.
MBLAQ performed on few of there famous tracks, one catchy tune was.."ohh yeah" which we still have in our minds especially when it is time to study... ;-)
In the end,,,shows was finished formally but but our spirits were not. Hanging out with friends is the ever best thing for me, so we had some good snaps there at Cheonggye Stream then walked around the streets, had fun a lot there before we planned for dinner at Itaewon finally.
