yoshi 353 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Apparently rehearsals for the opening ceremony begin today so, as ever, that calls for a spoiler thread. Spoilers in here, protect the general thread etc etc, you know how it works. Hope this is useful 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 605 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 This was posted from the stadium. Â A prop made of TV screens? Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Judging from this strange but cool looking prop, there's probably gonna be a segment paying tribute to South Korea's technology and how it's changed over the years.

Conor15 21 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Like look at what South Korea gives to us now. They make electronics, K-Pop and cars from companies such as Hyundai, KIA and SsangYong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ikarus360 605 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think the prop is most likely like Conor says. Old TV screens shaped in the form of a turtle and connected with each other (kind of reminds me of the 2002 World Cup opening where they also used TV screens) to show how korean tech evolved over the last couple of decades. I believe the producer said he had intentions to show this. Also, a new pic from Instagram. Performers rehearsing over the stage. Doing a zoom up at the Jumbotron, one can clearly see they're forming the Dove of Peace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Conor15 21 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hmm, kinda looks generic for now compared to the biker doves in London, the ballet from Sochi and the paper doves from Rio. They'll probably have white outfits on the day the ceremony happens. And maybe a projection of a dove on the stage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PikyoK 19 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Also. I found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Winter_Olympics_opening_ceremony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Winter_Olympics_closing_ceremony They've just announced who will sing the anthems at the Pyeongchang 2018 Ceremonies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 605 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I would take th Wiki article with a grain of salt, though Sumi Jo singing the Olympic Hymn would be awesome. someone put this lighting effect from the stadium. Dunno if its related  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 605 Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Pic taken in January 18 during an officials visit. Take a closer look at the entrance down there, though. These look like clouds and birds props alongside a blue sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Nagano 1998 OC) It seems most likely like it will be either related to the Dove of Peace segment (we know performers will form the dove on the field) or maybe something related to Korea historical past since the clouds are shaped like the typical Auspicious Cloud one sees in asian art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PikyoK 19 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Short video of inside the stadium. You can see the hole where the performers will enter/exit. You can also see the lights and the rest of the floor.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
