She added, “I didn’t get to take any pictures inside ’cause I wanted to live in the moment (plus, bringing up my phone would only disturb the view of those behind me) but even without those photos i will cherish this experience forever!”
Fulgar, on the other hand, shared that this was her first time to watch a Korean act as she posted an Instagram photo captioned: “My first ever KPop concert experience.”
