2008 Dream Concert




Fifty-thousand fans were crammed into Olympic Stadium for The 14th Dream Concert on June 7th, 2008 . At 12pm this afternoon, the #2 subway line towards Stadium was already over flowing with the non-stop chatter of excited 10-something girls.

I guess they couldn’t wait.

Although the purpose of the concert series was to entertain (of course), it was also to campaign against illegal use of music and contents from the internet.

Gooooood luck. As if that’s going to stop.

But there is an inkling of hope. Instead of trying to sell full albums, the real money is supposedly in concerts. However, if there is going to be 16 groups performing at a single venue, then I would think earning a pretty penny is going to be difficult. And if G-market was giving away tickets for free, then even more difficult.

The lineup for 2008 included DBSK, SS501, Epik High, Super Junior, MC Mong, Jewelry, Miya, Wondergirls, Girls Generation, Buga Kings, Typhoon, Mighty Mouth, Shinee, Peter, A ST1, and Chu Sung-hoon.

The Dream Concert series is the largest annual live concert in Korea.

Not much to say about the fashions since everyone seems to be wearing the same thing.

I've never heard of this kind of party, probably you are just interested in that sort of things?

I also wouldn't count on a sharp interest of people in buying original CDs... here all hope is dead.
