Today's post is very much Kpop related.
So the group that my friend and I created a fanclub for is a group called WE. They are modeled on the black eyed peas and unlike most korean artists these days, their age is older. Way older. Also, they are not idols. Anyways, so my friend who is volunteering for MNet had a mission she had to do and that was to make a kpop cover song. So since we are both WE fans, we decided to cover WE's song called Rainy Days. It was WE's debut song last year's november. Both of us practiced hard because the song involved rapping... in Korean.
Yesterday we finally finished the cover and the video that went along with it and uploaded it on youtube. Here it is
We got an immediate response from one of the members of WE on twitter and then this morning, the ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY posted the link to our youtube with a message telling people to check it out and that they were touched watching it.
Right now, I still don't know how to feel with this response at all.
To catch you up, when we first made the fan club we didn't think we were going to get their attention but first, we got one of the members and then the entertainment company and then we got contacts and then another member followed us. From then on we are basically communicating with each other on twitter.
This is when I say, I love social network websites! Without social networking I don't think we would've made this far. Just the mere fact that a celebrity, although a relatively new one, knows my friend and I, and talks to us is still surreal. This experience is definitely once in a lifetime I feel.
