The crowd suddenly went wild when it was already U Kiss’ turn. The group said they were grateful to be back in the country. They performed Bingeul Bingeul, Mworago, Man Man Ha Ni and one English song entitled End of the Road. They didn’t only perform their songs but also showed each side of their talents. First was Kevin dancing to Miss A’s Bad Girl Good Girl. It was really funny and he really did it great as if he was the choreographer of the dance. Xander also tried the dance but he is no match to Kevin’s move. Second was a battle between Kiseop and Eli dancing to one of Rain’s song. They both did a great job copying Rain’s dancing skills. Third was Dongho dancing to Secret’s Magic. He did the booty dance of the song. Lastly was Seohyun, the groups high note belter sang Because of You, an English song by Keith Martin.

Last but not the least, its the main event ! The intensity was getting higher, the crowd was getting more and more excited to see the main purpose of the concert. The weather was fine but it seems like the rain was about to fall not from the clouds but the RAIN coming out from the stage. The crowd getting more wilder, screams were everywhere. Rain serenaded his fans with his hits songs and some of this were Rainism, Touch Ya, How To Avoid The Sun, I Do, Love Song Love Story, and Hip Song. Fans sang along with him, somehow jump to the beat of the music, got mesmerize by Rain’s dance moves as he sing and danced continuously. With a Michael Jackson kind of theme for his concert with all the fireworks and stuff he performed with all the energy he got and the intensity he showed made us all amaze by his performance.
The concert ended around 10pm but it was all worth it. Rain’s stay in the country was yet another fulfilled duty on his part, ended it with an unforgettable concert for his undying fans.
