[Fan-account] JJ project Fan Signing

Today, I went to a fan signing. A JJ project one. JJ project's fan signings are lottery for 100 people and my friend and I got into it. We were so ecstatic the day before when we saw our names on the list! The fan signing we got into is the Ilsan one and it was inside Lotte Department Stores. I thought since it was in Lotte Department, the location of the fan signing would kind of cool or it would be in some sort of hall but no... it was very tacky. They TAPED a JJ project fan signing poster to the glass wall of the book store and then they had a table and two chairs. There wasn't even a table cloth over the table. Usually they play the music of the artist during the fan signing but first they played it through a very tacky small portable speakers attached to a small laptop before they switched to better quality portable speakers. A slight improvement I guess.

I got number 9 and when 7:30 rolled in, JB and Jr. walked in and they are absolutely really adorable in person. Every time I see them in person I always am struck by their adorableness. JB's eye smile and Jr. cuteness. After they introduced themselves, the fan signing started and being number 9 it wasn't long until it was my turn. I freaked out internally when JB was in front of me and part of me felt that JB was freaking out as well. Since I just placed my album in front of him and he quietly signed it and I quietly watched him. He gave me a big smile when he handed the album to me though. Without saying anything I requested for fist bump and it happened! Although he was slightly confused why it's suddenly popular to fist bump because my friend was before me and she did it as well. (actually my friend and I made a promise to do so before the fan signing started.)
When it was Jr.'s turn it was super cute. I was absolutely melting inside because he had the biggest smile before taking my album. My name is a hard name to spell so I helped him out but what came out was Japanese. major fail moment of my life. But part of me felt like he didn't quite notice it because he ended up writing that "r." It was super cute. He even wrote "nuna" for me. "Nuna" is something a younger guy would call an older girl. So yeah... So afterwards I asked a fist bump with him as well and I quickly ran back to my seat. My friend took some pictures before we left.
I didn't want to stay for the whole fan signing because there were a lot of grade school fans and they sometimes get really annoying to listen to. There's a reason why I can't really go see JJ project that often anymore because one: I am so much older than most of the fans and two: I get quickly annoyed by the younger fans. I don't blame them for being that way because probably when I was that age and I got to see my favorite celebrity in front of me, I would be equally annoying. What surprised me the most is that JB was awkward with foreigners, even if there was my friend and I in front of him, he didn't really talk to us and focused on signing the album whereas Jr. although he didn't talk, he seemed a lot more interactive in the way he took your album, signed your album (he looked up a lot) and gave back your album. Jr. was a little more comfortable but still awkward though.
Give them a couple more years and I think the confidence level will shoot up!
Good luck to the future JJ PROJECT!

[REVIEW/FAN ACCOUNT] Xia Junsu Solo Concert

This is a review. A very laid back open personal review on the concert... maybe I should actually call it a fan-account... but I am going to be critical about it so... I shall call it a review. A review on Kim Junsu or Xia Junsu's solo concert. Yes. Anyways we arrived at around 2:30 at the venue and there were a lot of people already. Never underestimate Junsu fans. First thing first, we decided to get our fan goods. There was a total of 9 goods that you could buy but to be honest most of them look tacky and the only thing I wanted was a light stick and possibly a slogan because they looked classy. The line up to buy the goods was very long. So they tried to make it shorter by lining up everyone with 4 people per row. The weather was hot and it was a good thing those who were part of the Junsu's fan club started handing out small Junsu fans. I am so glad because although they were small, it helped quite a bit with the heat. Fan goods! The concert didn't start until...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

Last weekend I actually did something interesting... at least on Saturday. We went to Seoul Grand Park, especially to the Zoo. It is located in the southern part of Seoul and the park is really a Grand one. The zoo, as well, was really really big. It was really cheap to get into as well. Only 3000KRW! We couldn't go around the whole zoo because it was a Saturday meaning there were a lot of people! I could walk and be at the zoo all day but with that many people at the same time, I had my limits. Being in Seoul made me realize how much I did not like being squished in between people. my roommate took the picture! ^^ Statue in front of the Ape Jungle! It was the 6 of us going to the Zoo this time. So we made our priorities on which animals we wanted to see and went there first. The zoo was humungous and was smartly divided. All similar species were together, or the animals that live together in real life were bunched together. Each section was themed. It was really cool! We wen...
