This was P1Harmony's second time in Australia, after last year's Hallyu Pop Fest. They had a short, fun, energetic set at that festival, so it was an easy choice to decide to go to this one.
The show started 30 minutes late and after the first couple of songs, Keeho apologised and let us know that Soul was injured and would not be participating in any dancing/choreo. Soul sat on the side of stage looking a bit forlorn. I remembered him being such a great dancer from last year so it's unfortunate he couldn't perform this time.
This was a fun show. They're a group with good energy and their songs are fun and often high tempo. There was a section with member solos which were of varying interest (Theo has a nice voice, Keeho is an ace, the other varies) but still interesting. The crowd was really into it and it was a decent, solid turn out for the Hordern.
What detracted to the show for me were the long bits of filler. I'm not sure if this was stalling for time due to technical issues, or if it was just part of their schtick, but it felt like we spent waaaay too long on silly ments and games like "ok this half of the crowd, try to cheer louder than that half!" or "let's do a wave!" etc. I really would have preferred to see more songs!

Some random thoughts:
- They opened with a song with not much dancing which surprised me. A chance to show off the live vocals.
- Keeho cut short an aegyo ment because he couldn't stand it anymore LOL
- The VCR was so random they were playing a board game and there was like a full SCREEN of instructions like we were watching a variety show.
- Keeho said Theo is the prince of kebabs because he comes to Australia and has kebabs I'm in tears.
- For a large part of the show there were this group of grown guys behind us who I guess got industry comp tickets and they were just like having a laugh in that sarcastic mocking we're too good for boy bands way? And for part of it mocking their English too? I wanted to fight them so bad.
- One of the VCRs was a Christmas song?!
