My Experience at the Stray Kids Concert in Front-Row VIP (Pacific Section) I arrived very early to line up, around four in the morning. There were already a lot of people, and I was so nervous—it was incredible to see how many fans had been there since so early. Several people even gave me Stray Kids-themed gifts. Before entering the venue, there were a few problems because they split us into two lines, it started raining, and some people tried to cut in without respecting the queue, which caused some trouble. Eventually, they let us in, and we entered the stadium to wait the remaining time with our wristbands. Luckily, I got number 117, which helped me secure a spot in the front row for the concert. The VIP merchandise was very pretty but quite expensive, so it didn’t feel worth it considering all the money my mom and I had already spent on tickets—around one million Chilean pesos. At the stadium, we had to wait a long time without food and under the strong sun, but finally, they started organizing us by number, and thankfully, we were able to enter the venue. The soundcheck took a while to begin, and I couldn’t record it because it wasn’t allowed. Since I was right at the front, I was afraid of taking out my phone and getting called out or even removed. The soundcheck itself was very short—they only sang three songs—but it was magical. I cried so much seeing them up close. After the soundcheck, we had to wait quite a while again. I almost fainted, and at several moments I had to sit down. Thankfully, the people around me were kind, worried about me, and took care of me while we waited. Being in the standing section was pretty chaotic: some girls fainted, it was hot, and there was a lot of pushing—it was a bit unfortunate. Finally, when the concert started, I enjoyed it so much. I was able to see them very closely, and honestly, cameras don’t do them justice. Seeing them felt like seeing angels—especially Changbin and I.N, they’re unbelievably beautiful. Fortunately, Chile gave them such a warm welcome, and the group truly felt loved. Several members even cried when they saw how we received them, and that’s something I’ll never forget. It was the best concert of my life, and I hope I can see them again someday.
