1. Learning the routine

Dancing the choreography, no matter where you are, is irresistible to any K-Fan! Whether you got the VIP standing room or bouncing up and down in your seat, arms flailing, your body cannot resist a wiggle here and there for each chorus!

2. Shrieking Saranghae

If you thought dolphins had a loud pitch, the supersonic sounds coming from fangirls is not to be believed! They have practiced their ear piercing high notes so they won't go unnoticed by their favorite oppa! Scream! Scream like you never scream before-- like it's murder!

3. Lip Syncing

via GIPHY

The best thing is singing along at any concert! However, the worst thing is lip syncing random Korean words and getting caught halfway through when the artist, by some fate of chance, passes you the mic!

4. Fan Service

via GIPHY

Whether your idols dress up, cover other songs or get all lovey dovey, fan service is another beloved part of these epic concerts! They cram more than enough to get your heart pounding so have your cameras ready!

5. Drenched in Water

via GIPHY

Don't ask me why but K-Pop artists are extremely fond of throwing their half drunk bottle of water onto their fans. If your shirt gets soaked enough (I know mine has) maybe you can wring out their saliva and sell it online?

6. Sea of Lights

via GIPHY

Whether it is Girls' Generation's vivid pink or Big Bang's yellow crowns, light sticks are a must-have accessory (or purchase) at any concert! Fans gather to make a sea of lights with stadiums looking like a vast ocean of neon colors!

7. Finale Selfie

via GIPHY

Nowadays, towards the end of concerts, idols are taking huge selfies (similar to the Ellen selfie) with every fan they can squeeze in to upload on their social media pages. It is one of the most memorable ways to commemorate the night, especially if an idol grabs your phone and takes a selfie with it themselves!

8. Heart-Shaped Salute

via GIPHY

Whether it be the crowd or the artists themselves, anyone in the K-Pop scene knows this international two-finger heart shaped symbol is as iconically noteworthy as the 3-finger salute from 'The Hunger Games'. I volunteer as tribute to be drenched in your bottled water, Seungri!

9. Talent Show

via GIPHY

It wouldn't be K-Pop if your favorite idols didn't take a few minutes to showcase their individual talents, personalities and even bodies. Uncommon to many other concerts, these artists will show aegyo, imitate a monkey or even break dance! All in the name of making you switch between biases and feel torn yet in love at the same time - within seconds!

10. Fan Signs

via GIPHY

It doesn't matter who you are or how old you are, you can fangirl (or boy) as much as you please! Wave that fan sign with pride and hope your bias blows a kiss your way!

11. Epic Encores & Good byes

via GIPHY

The moment when the curtains are drawn and the lights get dark. Those 2 hours were the most unforgettable two hours of your life and you want more! Idols always gift their fans with a big finale, one last sweet good bye and a beautiful bow as a sign of gratitude and respect to fans.

12. Get The VIP Ticket

via GIPHY

Now that you know what is in store for K-Pop concerts, no matter what, getting a ticket is a must!!! Whether it is VIP, VVVIP or just GA get your fingers ready and be on full alert-- your concert experience depends on it!
