After it was announced that SHINee would be performing at “The London Korean Film Festival 2011“, British fans went on a frenzy at the thought of seeing their favorite idol group perform live. To further excite fans for the upcoming festival, the organizers of the event has uploaded SHINee’s video message onto their official Facebook.
SHINee received the honor of being the only Korean pop artists to open up this year’s Korean Film Festival. In the video, the boys of SHINee invited everyone to the event and expressed their happiness in being able to meet with their British fans. They also promoted upcoming films like “War of the Arrow” and “The Unjust“.
SHINee’s participation in the event has caused tickets for the event to sell out immediately after its release through Odeon’s homepage. The influx of fans who swarmed the site hoping to purchase tickets eventually caused the servers to crash. Fans who were unable to attain a ticket began requesting for another event through the organizer’s official Facebook page.
However, the Korean Cultural Centre, along with the London Korean Film Festival, left an apology saying, “Thank you so much for your passion and energy for the London Korean Film Festival opening concert: SHINee in London. We appreciate that the issues with the booking/website have been frustrating and many of you have missed out on tickets on this occasion. We do hope to see you at the Cube concert in December and if not, at one of the many K-pop concerts we are planning for 2012: this is only the beginning…. Thank again for your support and dedication, you are the best music fans in the world.”
Meanwhile, SHINee will be performing at the opening gala of the London Korean Film Festival on November 3 at the West End in Leicester Square.
