. Miss KTokki . 미쓰 케이토끼 .: 2013 INFINITE 1st World Tour [ONE GREAT STEP] in Singapore

Though its around 3 weeks ago, we felt that we should still write about Infinite's 1st world tour concert in Singapore that happened on 5th Oct 2013.

Note: Blogger somehow made the resolution and colors of the photos much poorer than our originals. Please bear with it!

1st the venue. It was held in the Singapore Indoor Stadium, which was a really great venue compared to Singapore Expo. They had an extended T stage which was great for the fans behind.

Stage layout

The official starting time of the concert was at 7.00pm. Before the concert outside the concert hall, Infinite merchandise were sold and there was a photo taking zone where you could pose with the Infinite boys as a backdrop and they would give you the photo for keepsake.

The hype outside the concert hall

This was the background that fans could take photos with, except that they added one more chair in the middle so that fans could be "in" the photo as well

There were also some quizzes and those who were picked and answered the questions correctly got prizes such as Infinite's album. The whole place outside the concert hall was hyped up to the fullest in anticipation of the concert. It was a great atmosphere!

The bag check was quite stringent, at least when it came to us. Had to throw away a plastic bottle of water brought from home but the staff said they were ok with those personal water bottles. In the end we had to buy mineral water inside which cost like $3 per bottle. They removed the cap of the bottle as it was not allowed inside, which we really did not get it. Though we think it was because they were afraid of people throwing bottle caps around or onto the stage, it makes spillage of water more possible which would be very messy in a concert. One good thing we noticed was they allowed fans to enter the venue quite early and there was no long queue at our entrance (not too sure about mosh pit though). This was a drastic difference from one concert we attended before where there was this super long queue even for seating ticket holders.

When we arrived at our seats there were banners left on each seat that read "영원히 응원할게요 인피니트♥", with instructions written in different languages at the back to ask Inspirits to raise the banner only during the last song. What a united and thoughtful fanclub. While waiting the screens were playing Infinite's MVs. Fans were screaming when their favourite members appeared on the screen. At around 7.40pm, the lights dimmed and a specially made video was played. It evolved around the theme of the concert, which was about Infinite being the heros of reinstating music into people's lives where it was once banned. The video was fun and we saw Infinite's acting skills on the big screen.

Finally Infinite appeared on stage "in" a cage with hands "cuffed". It was a cool way of entering!

The opening song was Destiny, followed by some fast songs. The whole concert was like a dream, we couldn't remember much as we were probably too high. :X We only remembered they sang most of the songs we loved, including Inception. They did the chair routine which was really cool! (Scroll to the bottom for a fancam of Inception!) They had individual or duet stages. The stages that we liked most include leader Kim Sunggyu's orchestra version of 60 seconds and near the end of the concert when Infinite belted out a series of their classic fast songs such as Be Mine, Before the Dawn, The Chaser etc. What impressed us the most was that they made the effort to communicate in English throughout the concert! Though we could tell that it was scripted, we were still touched by their efforts. They even sang a local song "Singapura, Sunny Island"! 100% sincerity felt. They also gave a lot of fan service, which included taking fans' phones to take selcas and giving the phone back, shaking hands when singing etc.

The concert had some fireworks and the laser lighting was quite good. Another thing that impressed us was that they had a live band! This is quite rare in a Kpop idol group concert. Infinite's live singing skills were also very good! During the very last song "With...", they went to each side of the stage to bow for around 10 seconds. That really touched us as it really showed their sincerity and humbleness which other Kpop groups did not show as much.

This was a very successful concert packed with lots of sincerity and hard work. The planning and coordination of the side events and the orderliness of entering the venue really impressed us! One of the best concerts we've attended!
