This review is mainly gonna be about the crowd experience, b/c I thought that was the most influencial. I went to the first SMTown & I was a bit disappointed. Not because of the performances, but with the crowd. The crowd were selective on who they wanted to scream for. But this time around, the crowd was much much better. Everyone were basically SMTown fans. Tons of people were holding a lightstick per group. Fans were doing fanchants.. it was A-MAZING! One thing that was disappointing was that SMTown couldn't perform as long as they would in their asian tours. I also feel like some artists performed more than others. Nevertheless, their performances definitely didn't disappoint. Another disappointing thing was the rehearsals. They started it so late & only EXO, SHINee & f(x) performed. I was hoping to see everyone =/ They should've just done one song per group.

The concert was definitely surreal. Getting to see the people you watch and listen to everyday on the internet is just a dream come true, especially when they're foreigners. The concert felt so short however, a mere 4 hours. Time definitely passed too quickly, but maybe that's because I was enjoying myself so much.

The concert was sooooo awesome. At first I told myself that I need to go to this concert to get the experience, and then I will be satisfied and would never want to come back again. But I was wrong!!!! it was so FANTASTIC and FUN that I want to go again and again and again. And no matter how much the ticket will be next time, I definitely want to save up money so I can get the closest seat to the stage. It was so unreal to see my favorite artists that up close. It was an AMAZING concert!!!! And I would definitely recommend others who are addicted to K-POP to go. It is something that if you go once, you are hooked for life!!!!

Definitely would see SMTOWN in concert again. Only wish the fangirls wouldn't block my view by standing up in front of me to start dancing. Or blowing out my ears by screaming for four hours straight. And if MSG can make it so the artists don't sound like chipmunks. Otherwise it'd be 5 stars. Wish I could've sat closer to the stage in the same section, or in the center section in the 100s. Tiered seating makes it so you can see over the heads of people sitting in front of you, unless they stand.

This concert was just amazing! I was very impressed with how professional and organized it all was. The change time between songs and groups was surprising fast, there was no time to be bored. All the artists performed wonderfully. The use of wires, fire, fireworks, lasers, and confetti were all very impressive. Enjoyed the merchandize available for sale, too. Overall completely awesome and I will definitely see them perform again if I can! A few gripes: The line management. It was very confusing which line was which...mechanize, GA, soundcheck, regular admission...all were easily mixed up. MSG should have had a few staff going along each line, especially the end, telling people what it was for and assuring they were in the correct line. The 'preshow soundcheck party' was not worth the money paid for this ticket. Only one group was present and we were only allowed to watch for a very limited time. The translator. While very awesome they had one, she should have paused when the fans screamed so she could be heard.

SMTown L.A. was awesome! It's worth the trip and the money. You see a handful of great K-Pop artists perform. Doesn't matter which fan club you are cheering for you end up enjoying the entire show. From SNSD to SHINEE they were all Su-Ju-C to watch!! So fortunate to see them from floor seating! All the boys were Handsome and the girls were Glowing Gorgeous. Make sure u have a drink next to you, you'll need it for all the screaming and singing along you do..U may laugh now about the drink, but you'll need it. Didn't care that i didn't know all the lyrics or that I'm not Korean, I still sang and u will too! P.S. The concert is not like U.S. concerts with intermissions. It's a non-stop party bus and you get your money's worth, even if it's expensive... Since artists have released new songs, they'll probably play sing those as well.. Lucky NYC fans get to go! Go SOSHI!

Went to SM Town last year in LA and I'm telling you, this will be one of the greatest experiences of your life. The performances were absolutely astounding and you will not want to look away. All of the artists perform at their best and you seriously won't regret seeing this concert. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Had the opportunity to take my daughter (15 at the time) to see this AMAZING SHOW last year in Los Angeles. Probably the most energetic & exciting music performances I have ever witnessed in my life. I knew very little about these groups before L,A., but after seeing them perform, I knew I would see these incredibly talented groups again. I happen to live in South Florida and made the trip to L.A. for the show and have great seats for the NYC show in October. If you love music this is a MUST SEE (and hear) Show.

Although the 3+ hours seemed flew by quickly, the concert was great. I enjoyed each performance and all of the groups and solos were really good. From BoA to the new Exo and everything else in between, the groups were amazing. Unfortunately, Exo only performed one song, which was quite disappointing. Anyway, I enjoyed the concert very much ^^

This is the second SMTOWN I've been to (went to SMTOWN NY) and it was even better than the last one. Everyone was fantastic. SHINee gone metal was the coolest thing EVER. Super Junior, DBSK, SHINee, EXO, f(x), BoA, and SNSD we all completely flawless and worth every penny and second of my life to see again.

This event was amazing! The Honda Center was packed to the brim with such a diverse audience; all races and age groups were represented, decked with light sticks, handmade posters, and custom made tshirts! The SM Town artists traveled all the way from Korea to present their finest in KPOP, and they DELIVERED! It was a feast for the eyes, and my ears couldn't get enough even though it was almost 4 hours long! I greedily kept wanting more, not because I was left unfulfilled, but because it's rare to be able to witness such artistry as TVXQ, SNSD, Super Junior, BOA, SHINee and the new EXO group live!! Thank you for giving me and my family this opportunity!

The exoerience itself was surreal. The artist from korean management SM Ent. performed on elaborate stages. The show began with a video that introduced the artists. the screens displaying these videos were HD. Translations/subtitiles on the videos helped break the language barrier. In addition, the artists who hosted the night (Eeteuk, Tiffany, and Taeyeon) a;; rehearsed their parts well. Their MC skills brightened the night. Collaborations amongst the members of different groups showed the audience a new side to the performers. This, however, could not compare to the performances from the actual groups. Super junior, SHINee, EXO (both K and M), SNSD/GG, f(X), BoA, TVXQ all managed to bring a high quality performance. All teh performaers performed on the movable stage. The water and laser show incorporated into the performance managed to get the audience hyped-up. The artist themselves have great stage presence.

Not to mention, I had a pretty awesome seat. This time, SM is having another concert in LA, and this is making me so excited. I shall post some photos from the LA one. :)

I started listening to Kpop at the age of 9 and I'm almost 20 now. I've waited for a concert like that almost all of my life and it was worth it. I did not have great seats but that did not stop my cousin and I from thoroughly enjoying every moment of the concert. I got to see the person that got me into Kpop, BoA and some of the other artists that have kept me in the Kpop world. I don't think I'll EVER forget how I felt when I attended this concert. I still cannot believe that I got the chance to see them perform live. They performed their own acts as well as other Korean songs, American songs, and an opera song. I hope others, who did not get the chance to see them perform, will get a chance to experience the excitement and energy of that concert.

Honestly, I've been to a lot of concerts, but this was definitely one of the most memorable ones I've ever seen. The tickets were on the expensive side, but the audience DEFINITELY got what we paid for! The concert started a little after 7 and ended around 11:30, so almost 4 1/2 hours of nonstop entertainment! The groups really put on an amazing show: f(x), SHINee, Super Junior, SNSD, Kangta, BoA, and of course, TVXQ! I really enjoyed how the artists were scattered throughout the show and did duets and group performances with each other. They all sounded and looked AMAZING!! Next time SM comes around, I will DEFINITELY be there!!!

Technically any fan of K-pop in general should be here. The scale of all the music you love live and literally feeling the beat and sounds of every song just provides a simply surreal experience. SM Town changes everytime it goes on, the artists, tracklist, that everytime you see it the experience is different. I don't really know what else to say except that the next time SM Town makes an appearence in the U.S. it is highly recommended to go and consider going.

Kangta: Amazing BoA: Incredible Girls Generation: Freaking amazing SHINee: *fangirl screams* TVXQ: I think my heart stopped f(x): Love love loved them Super Junior: *u* Overall it was an amazing concert with so many amazing performances that I can't choose which one was better than the other. The energy in the stadium was explosive and contagious; the artists really appealed to the crowd and got everyone involved. Amber from f(x) was clearly a favorite among the performers, and the fans cheered whenever she appeared on the big screen. Key and Minho were noticeably excited to be performing in NYC and were running all over the stage to wave to fans. Poor Key must have been exhausted at the end of the night with all of the duets and extra rap performances he did! ^^; During TVXQ's greetings, Changmin, who had just finished singing his signature scream in "Mirotic" and was out of breath, attempted to shush the crowd so he could concentrate on what to say in his best English (it was so cute!). Soohyoung from Girls Generation couldn't remember how to finish the sentence "I'm so happy to be...", so her more English-friendly members Jessica and Tiffany (and the whole stadium) helped her finish with a loud "HERE!" and gave her a round of applause. BoA was so cute and charming, thanking and communicating with crowd between all of her songs. She was so genuinely sweet and she received a warm reception from all. To wrap this up, it was an amazing concert, my sister and I couldn't speak for 2 days because we cheered (more like screamed) so loudly, and hopefully SMTOWN will come to the states for this concert annually ^^

While I was only there for Super Junior's performance, I enjoyed every single moment of it, it is very recommendable that you get really close seat to see them close and if your a die hard fan of any SM Town's artist and want some them to notice you, hold your hand, take a pic with you, then you should be in the standing area.

It may be strange to start with this, but for those who have no clue what SM Town is it's a company from South Korea with multiple artist under their belt. The show consisted of F(x), Kangta, SHINee, Super Junior (and sub units), Girls' Generation, BoA, and DBSK. The show in its entirety was extremely enjoyable. Because the show showcased multiple artist they had multiple costume changes so their outfits reflected the songs music videos. The only thing I could say I wish they had done was different duets and special performances. SM has many talented artists and have had this concert a few times now, I wish we could have seen something all new in terms of these special performances or at least something a little my challenging than say Key of SHINee and Krystal of F(x) singing 'My First Kiss'. Asides from this again the overall of this concert was really amazing, I just wanted something new from the previous US concert in LA.

SM Town live is a complete package show in terms of music and performance. With big names Like Girls Generation, Super Junior, Shinee, BoA, TVXQ, F(x), and Kangta, there is no reason why you shouldn't try to go. These people are top class artists who try their hardest to move and entertain you through a variety of different songs and dances. They bare their Talents to you in the hopes that you will walk away feeling like you watched something amazing, something that they have been working for since they were young.... a chance to move your heart. It does exactly that. With Girls Generations New Single "The Boys" And other popular songs like "Lucifer" and "Mr. Simple" you can experience some of the best that Korea... and now the world has to offer in terms of entertainment.

ASide from insanely high prices for the tickets (i paid 227) it was frickin amazing. TVXQ was smoking hot, Kangta was superb, BoA was straight up diva-liscious, SNSD made some cute english mistakes, F(x) got so many cheers whenever Amber would sing, and SuJu gave everyone so much fan service. SHINee was amazing, spectacular and totally worthy dongsae's of TVXQ♥♥ (cassie right here!) It was amazing. I wish they'd come to the east coast more often♥

I have honestly been wishing for an SMTown concert to be at a venue close enough to me that I could go since I started listening to kpop, and to finally have that dream realized was amazing! I loved the variety of stages that they performed, and the energy was really high all night. The concert was more than I could ever have imagined, and I'm now hoping that more kpop artists will come to NYC to perform! The event was well-coordinated and MSG did a great job with hosting the show.

I absolutely loved this! I went primarily for SNSD, but I love all of SMTOWN!! Performances were amazing and had a lot of energy! Especially, f(x), DBSK, and SHINee! Solos and the collabs were flawless and creative! Dance break is always amazing to see, too! I was a bit disappointed in the lack of merchandise, because NY concert had A LOT of artist merch. The fans were better this time around as well. Everyone cheered for each artist, but not too friendly conversation wise. (Which was totally different from NY because I made an amazing Shawol friend.) ALL IN ALL, I will continue to attend SMTOWN whenever they come to the U.S.

The atmosphere of being at a Kpop concert is awesome! The fans were crazy and they made it worth while. I was most impressed with Shinee, I think they had the most stage presence there AND F(x). Honestly, I went to see SUJU, but was somewhat disappointed in their performances. Although it was great, I guess I just expected more interaction with the crowd, like in all the youtube videos of their concerts. I understand though, because they do not speak English and it is a different atmosphere for them so it might've taken a while for them to actually get into it. My only argument is that they are performers and artists, so do really having fans KNOW your fan chants matter that much? IDK. *shrugs* I loved seeing them live even though I was a bit disappointed. EXO really impressed me, but I'm still not committed to following them just yet. BOA was good and SNSD's performances were equivalent with SUJU's performances. DBSK rocked the place even though it was kinda sad to just see two of them. They can still bring it. ^^ The ONE act I wanted to SEE MOST was KRY, but didn't. TOTALLY sad over that still. Well, hopefully I'll get to see them one day. I'd go again. :D

I loved the concert! I couldn't believe i could actually see my favorites groups here in the States. I thought i would have to fly to So. Korea to see them. It was a lot of fun and it felt really short. I liked all of them by my favorite group is Super Junior. They are the best. Their performance is far beyond anyone. I just wish that all members of super junior and super junior M were present. I really missed Heechul. He is my favorite of the group. It would have been nice if Henry lau and Zhou Mi from super junior M were there. Hopefully next time they can join.

This concert was AMAZING!!! I was able to get VIP tickets so I saw the exclusive dress rehearsal. Everything was amazing. Super Junior, SHINee, EXO (K & M), BoA, Girls's Generation, f(x), and TVXQ were all there! Not to mention all of the extra solos/duets (Krystal & Jessica, Amber and Key and I think Changmin... etc.) definitely was a nice touch. The only con was that the lines to get in were SO LONG and there wasn't any SMTOWN merchandise available, unlike Super Show 4 (Well, in Korea there was merchandise >.<) Overall, this concert was AMAZING. Go to it, buy it on DVD, whatever. This was a fantastic concert. GO SEE IT WHEN AVAILABLE!!!!

PROS: Free glowsticks, also, all the artists performed their popular songs and the whole audience was singing along (myself included, teehee), the stage was well designed in a way that even the back seats had a good view of each performance (except EXO.... :( they didn't use up the whole stage. But overall, performances were continuous and awesome, so GO (if you can afford) ;) CONS: FOOD IS EXPENSIVE. DON'T BUY! (and tastes blah). The lines leading into the venue were extremely unorganized so it was difficult to know what you were lining up for. It was also disappointing that SHINee lip sang some of their songs... but oh well :/ pfffffff and tehy said no cameras, but many people managed to sneak really high quality cameras in so.... don't listen to the security! A major con was that Siwon wasn't even there... OR MENTIONED WHY HE WASN'T THERE (although we know why :))

OMG... This was the best night of my life!! (besides smtown in NY XD) Everyone was simply FLAWLESS! TVXQ and SHINee were my favs! Even EXO did amazing!! f(x), SNSD, and SUJU were really good as well! Max(TVXQ) and Kyuhyun's(SUJU) collaboration for Bruno Mars's "Just the way you are" was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I was SO jealous of the lucky girl that was able to go up on stage with T ^ T but whatever! XD Although EXO only did a couple songs, they were awesome. The MAMA performance was so well put together, it was almost UNREAL! Oh, I almost forgot, BoA was ok... I don't really care too much about her anyway :P. Anyway, THIS CONCERT WAS AMAZING!!!! I WOULD SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WHO LOVES KPOP AND WHAT NOT XD. Oh, one more thing... if you're like me, you'll probably lose your voice like I did! :D (most of it was for TVXQ, SHINee, and EXO) XD.

SM definitely shook things up with SHINee going first. I definitely wished TVXQ performed a couple more songs instead of half of Rising Sun and The Way U Are (Before U Go, anyone?). I was sincerely disappointed that Henry and Zhoumi were not with Super Junior (neither was Siwon and Yuri, YoonA for SNSD), but EXO did not disappoint. I think there were some mic issues, especially because some of the artists sounded really high pitched. They had Leeteuk, Tiffany and (I can't remember!) MC but man, did I wish there were subs or something haha. The camera policy was ludicrous thanks to MBC; I paid $200 and can't take a few crappy photos for myself? People got away with DSLRs! Despite all this, I think overall it was a great experience, the artists did not disappoint, playing hit songs and never leaving the fans hanging. They had a translator for introductions so that was thoughtful.

I'm from Dallas, Tx. It was my first time going to the SMTOWN concert. It was AMAZING!! The artists were great. The audio was spectacular. Too bad it was not sold out. I'm sure it would have been sold out if more people found out. I just happened to be lucky and just randomly check on it when I found out it was coming soon. I wished they would come to more cities, like Dallas, Tx.. The Korean population is big here, not to mention a lot of other Asian cultures here. And if they come here, it would be more centralized, which means that other people from other states don't have to fly so far(to California) to see them. Then more people will be able to afford to go to this concert. All in all, it was great. I would go again.

This is my second time going to the SMTOWN concert and I loved it even more than the first time I went. I have to say, it must be because of where I sat. My sister and I were able to get seats near the stage. The people we were sitting next too were very active and full of energy which rubbed on us as well...so we ended up having an awesome time! Stood up the whole concert...even during some of their speeches. But yes...overall...best concert i've ever been to!! Yay for SM!!

I had a seat only few rows from the side of the stage, and it was fantastic. The artists spent lots of their time towards the center and the bigger groups like Super Junior ran all around the stage. In accordance to dynamics, it was average. There was lots of water, but nothing truly eye-catching and jaw-dropping. The artists sung well and they did a good job with communicating to the fans who didn't speak English. It was an amazing night, the only thing that I would have to drop a star for is that: 1) The tickets costed too much. The reason why the Honda Center didn't sell out is most likely because fans were notified two days prior till ticket sales began. That wasn't enough time to raise enough money and to convince parents into going. Plus overpriced tickets just won't sell out. In fact, lots of fans decided to sacrifice not going because they were saving up for a Super Show 4... which never came to the States. 2) Once again, the dynamics. Considering all the SM Entertainment concerts I've been to, you can tell they milked every single penny into their shows. I would have to say this concert was a bit of set back. Perhaps because I've been to so many SM Entertainment shows, my expectations are high. Nevertheless, considering how TVXQ were flying around the stadium in the previous SMTOWN Concert, I expected something similar or even better. The highlight in my opinion was Changmin and Kyuhyun's duet. It was a new and fresh collaboration, one people were both expecting and not expecting.

Was only the main bands (SJ, SNSD, EXO, f(x), SHINee, TVXQ and BoA), which I guess is good for most people. Unfortunately, Girls' Generation performed without Yoona and Yuri due to their dramas. Super Junior was also missing Siwon. Nevertheless, everyone put on a great performance. Super Junior outperformed everyone in my opinion, and that's coming from a hardcore Sone. I was extremely disappointed that SM and MBC did not allow cameras. Tickets were also very expensive (and I flew in from another state and had to pay for a hotel as well), which makes me even more angry that they would not less us save some memories.

This was my first KPop concert and it was awesome! The live vocals were great. The dancing was on point. Every single act was great! I went only really looking forward to a few acts but I was blown away by every single performance there. The crowd was also really awesome. Everyone was civilized and most cheered on for every performer there. No hating or anti activity were seen or experienced in my area, which was the pits, section 103. One of most amazing seats ever! We were so close to the idols and we weren't crowded or pushed by others in our area. Most definitely an epic night and I hope to experience this again! TLDR: Great acts. Great crowd. I'll definitely be going again if they ever come back next year!

The concert was just AMAZING. It was the best night of my life. Korean entertainers just go so far with their concerts. They don't just throw a concert, they put on a show. It wasn't just one stage, but an extended stage so even the seats that are kind of far can still see them pretty close. They had 3 big screens so everyone can see them, a water show, and strobe lights. Korean concerts are just way more entertaining than American concerts in my opinion. Girls' Generation was just too amazing and they made my night. Best concert I have ever been too.

SMtown's concert was great of course. The singers were on, the dancing was perfect, the light show, lasers and water were complimentary towards the songs. It was a wonderful night in all. The unfortunate part were the seats, I was placed on the side of the stage, and the show included movies and close ups of the performance on a screen that was out of sight completely. The irritating part of that was that I could see screens in the center towards the roof, similar to ball game tv screens, that were off that everyone in the stage could have seen. So I couldn't see parts of the show due to laziness or poor planning and that was upsetting. Light fixtures blocks part of the main stage as well, which was irritating. The fact that I enjoyed myself and thought it was still worth the money ($115) only goes to show how great the bands were!

Pros: 1. Huge Venue with many performances by various SMtown artist. 2. The artist performed well but...... Cons: 1. Didn't receive notification until the day of the event that video recording/picture taking were not allowed. People still went ahead and did it. And the security people only harassed a few while others blatantly broke the rules. I can respect the rules when the venue give the customer proper notification time of rule changes and FAIRly enforces the rules for all people attending the venue. Also backpacks weren't allowed in the venue as well. I know for a fact that at the last venue held in Madison Square Garden everyone was allowed to take pictures and bring the backpacks with them inside the venue. 2. The SMTOWN Live World Tour didn't notify customers that certain performers Yuri and Yoona weren't going to be performing at the venue. The main reason why I came to watch SMtown Live was to see the Girls Generation, so I feel kinda cheated that they weren't all there. 3. I had brought a hallmark card, wrote a personal letter, and brought a really expensive watch to give to one of the singers of Girls Generations. When I got into the line to get into the venue the security guy took it, so now I don't even know if the singer actually got my gifts or not. 4. They didn't have any merchandise to buy at the event which would have made the event more memorable. 5. There was no fan meet and greet. I understand why, but still we fans deserve better. In summary I spent over a thousand dollars to fly all the way to California just to watch 7/9 of girls generation perform on stage while having my gifts taken away while being constantly being harassed by staff to put my camera away when they are at fault for not notifying their customers ahead of time, and I didn't even get to meet the girls in person. I am very disappointed in how this concert was held and sincerely hope that futures concerts will be more rewarding.

As a new fan to KPOP I was not disappointed! I took my daughter and we had a wonderful time during the almost 4 hour concert seeing such amazing artist such as Super Junior, SHINee, EXO, & SNSD plus more! The only thing that could have made us happier was to have had the ability to take photos during the event but SM strictly prohibited this and then they didn't even sell ANY souvenirs, not even the light sticks! With as much as we paid to fly out and for the tickets themselves it would have been nice to have been able to taken away something in addition to the memories. Apparently the "free" youtube KPOP concert in N. CA the next evening had no such restrictions or at least they weren't enforced. It made me upset to have paid so much and not had the same rights as people had going for free. Who knows when we may, if ever, have the opportunity to see them again. Other than that complaint I say don't miss the chance to see these artists if you have it. Don't hold out for SS4 if you are a SUJU fan in N. America as it may never happen. See them however you can. SM really should give a true "World Tour" for ss4 though as promised and bring them here to the US. There are online petitions for this and if you feel the same way and want them to come here then find one and sign it!
