After In Seoul, they performed No Thnx which pumped up the energy but I still didn’t feel the Epik energy that I experienced on their other conerts. It felt like they were a bit unsure of how to treat us, European fans, but once they saw our faces and heard our screams, I looked specifically at Mithra, he had such a delighted and even proud smile on his face. After that they played Here come the regrets - an entirely English song - to which everyone knew the lyrics, then Bleed and Burj Khalifa, which really hyped up the crowd. Btw we were like 200 people in the audience which I loved because it felt really personal ;;. Also a funny thing, I was taking these short videos throughout the concert to not forget all the songs they played and during Burj Khalifa, I saw they were opening the water bottles and right before they poured it onto us, I stopped recording and hid my phone 😂😂 .

“That was fun” said Tablo. He asked for towels (to throw out later) and asked us “Did you guys like the album?” -mediocre response- “Did you guys love the album?” -very loud shouting- 😂 “Did you all hear the album? Then I’m sure you’ll know this next song, Let’s go!”. That’s how 새벽에 (Eternal Sunshine) started. A lot of people also sung along because the chorus is partly English~ During this song, Tabo sat down at the edge of the stage almost right next to me ;; but it was so nice seeing their smiles when they saw we know the words to the songs they had released.. not even two days before the concert. 

Next played Love love love and there was a short break where they (Tablo) talked about how they came to Europe, that they were jetlagged because the trip through London took them 20 hours and that they got reenergetized when they got on stage. They also said that the night before, they ordered a glass of beer each and that it was huge 😂😂 but they still drank two each. Tablo also said that it was the first time for them to be in Germany, and first time ever in Europe for Tukutz. Tablo asked Mithra and Tukutz to say something to us and they tried, it was cute and funny, one Korean fan (that happened to be traveling in Berlin right on that day) shouted 사랑해 (I love you) when Mithra was speaking so he said it to her back and then said it in German too ;; 

Then they talked about how they have to leave their families for a long time to do the tour so some fan shouted “Home is far away” and they almost didn’t perform it because “it’s in our contract that we can’t sing any songs that were spoiled. I don’t want to put you on the spot *fan’s name* but thanks to him, Tukutz had to delete the track”. I almost believed him when he started rapping his verse without the backing track 🤣🤣 

After that, they took us according to Tablo’s words “way back. I don’t know if you’ll know this song” and it was Map the soul ;; I like that song so much and I got overly excited over it 🤣. After this, they said “it’s not hot enough here” so I was mentally preparing myself for jumping and getting hit by water. Kill this love, High Technology, One (Tukutz went to the front, danced, he did the floss omg, hilarious, and he stood right above me - that’s when the finger pointing fooling around with me happened ;;; I have made him laugh ;;;; anyways.. (I died a little on the inside) I also really love One so I was really excited and singing along.. 

Then Tablo was all of a sudden saying it’s almost over...??? and “I do all this talking and he (Tukutz) does “I’m good”... I have to rap, I have to talk, 말좀해 ~씨” 😂😂😂 So Tukutz started speaking English and he actually said a lot of things!!! “I’m sorry, this time is my first visit to Europe, I’m so excited and so happy, I’ll be back soon, thank you for coming to our show and I love you, I’m good” so Tablo went “That was unbelievably good” and they switched places. Then the Korean fan literally yelled “김정식” and he was so surprised 😂😂😂 so he started speaking Korean “네? 아 안녕하세요” and Tablo said “Say hello to the new leader of Epik High” but Tukutz brought up the idea of taking a picture (all in English) so we were taking the family picture for a while. They jumped into the crowd but then couldn’t get back up lolol but after they did, they performed Fan and even did the dance hihi.

This is the family picture 😭❤️

Then it really seemed like the end, they didn’t come back up for a long time but the bass from Born hater started playing. Born Hater and Don’t hate me were the only encore songs... I was kinda sad when it really ended because they always did two encores and teased us about it but they probably had to cut it short because of the venue... the guards were really unfriendly and they kicked me out because it was VIP time and I was still talking to some of the people who had those tickets... That’s how I got separated from everyone I got to know, I went to get my coat and I went to my hotel room, I took a walk from the subway and listened to the new album ;; 

The only thing that was a bit disappointing was that Tablo promised merch but there was none in the end ㅠㅠ but I got a concert bracelet from a few girls who made them for them for 2€ (they said it would go to charity but I wouldn't mind spending that money on a memory tbh😅)

Also I felt embarrassed at times because I was the only one nearby who knew and actually sang out loud some Korean lyrics 😂😂 I also got way too excited for songs like High technology, Fan and Love love love 🤣 I mean, I did the L letter with my hand when nobody really did it..
