MBC Culture Festival 23-06-12

Last Saturday was the day of the much anticipated MBC Culture Festival. The concert was scheduled to consist of cultural performances as well as music performances by Norazo, EXO-K and 4minute. 4minute performed in London before at the CUBE United Concert in December so it was great to see them perform here again. 

The tickets for the concert were sold out in less than 3 hours so it was clear that the demand for the concert was high. With 2,500 ecstatic fans waiting patiently outside the venue, we couldn't contain our excitement.

While fans were waiting for the gates to open, the K-Pop Academy performed a flashmob. Can you guys spot Tamanna in the flashmob?

The concert started at 7:30am and it kicked off amazing performances by 4minute. Unfortunately, we were let in a little late so we missed the beginning of their first performance.
