Went to Boys Over Flowers' Fanmeeting todayyyyyyyy and saw Lee Min Ho and Goo Hye Sun! :DDD
Just a short breakdown:
1035 Arrived at 京華城 (which begins operation at 1100 so it's akin to a dead town) and wandered around for the right venue. S'pposed to be at B3, but there was a lot of hustle and bustle at B2 so my sis and I just went with the flow and followed the other fans.
1040 The stage was set up and everyone rushed forth to the 廣場 at B3. It' was really
pink and pretty but with everyone clamouring around you, the enjoyment was cut by half. Decided that we couldn't see anything (since the front half is reserved for VIP fans, and the remaining space already had early birds jamming up the area), we went up to B2 again and squeezed in with others at the railing. View was very clear if you ask me, just uncomfortable to be in there. :/
1100 Scheduled time for their arrival. Psh, but no one was seen.
1130 Still waiting...and getting impatient. And it didn't help that I left my camera in Singapore so I could only use my handphone camera which has no zoom function. Tragic.
1145 Reporters have filled up the press area and everyone started to get hyped up (for nothing).
1150 The organiser of the event announced the commencement of the event and all of us went nuts...
only to see a ditzy host get on the stage. Smart move to make yourself an instant public enemy. :|
1200 The fanmeeting had begun! But we were first forced to watch an edited clip of BOF on the screen,
dubbed in Mandarin and full of bling bling captions. .___.
1210 FINALLY THEY'RE HEREEEEEEEEE! Everyone went berserk. (Half of the reason was because I've been standing for more than an hour in a wedged position. :/)
Goo Hye Sun was really pretty in a bright pink top and I couldn't help but notice how high her heels were. Gotta match up to Lee Min Ho I guess.
Lee Min Ho was to-die-for in a simple top and jeans. (I forgot what he was wearing in all my excitement o_O) 'Nuff said. :)
1215 Phototaking session for the reporters and fans, and you could see them both in all sorts of poses. Whacky and charming and full of chemistry.
1220 Q&A session! But the questions were such a bore, like "Did you have a good night's sleep?", "How're you liking Taiwan? etc. And the interpreter's mike died on her 5 minutes into the session so we couldn't understand what was going on since the sound system was POOR and my understanding of Korean is minimal. T^T But well, visually we were all satisfied.
1225 Paradise for VIP Fans. To qualify as a VIP fan you gotta take part in an SMS contest, purchase the OST and win in a lucky draw. HA. Anyway, all those fans' handpone numbers were collected in a box, and GHS/LMH would pick a number, call that fan, and the fortunate girl would share the stage with them. The first fan was a lucky shit (sense my unreasonable irritation here) as she got to
COOK RAMYUN with the two stars - kinda like reenacting a ramyun cooking cum eating scene in the series - and got fed by LMH. As fan service, he wiped her lips for her. Another public enemy was born.
1230 Calls were made to 5 other VIP fans and they went up one by one to ask the two stars a question each - WTH, boring questions again like "What would you most like to eat during your trip here?". >.> Even "When did you lose your first kiss, and to whom?" to LMH wasn't impressive since he had long disclosed this during an interview. And it didn't take a diehard fan to know this, like me. GHS was really cute when answering "Do you like Taiwan" though, by trying very hard in her stuttering Mandarin "我喜歡臺灣". :D Actually, all their failed attempts at Mandarin at some points or another were worthy of commendation. Adorkable indeed. ♥
1240 I didn't know what exactly was happening here since some idiots in front blocked my view. Something like presenting gifts to the both of them by the event organisers and giving some words of encouragements. Pretty corny by the sound of it.
1245 Brief handshaking session with VIP fans. %^&*()_)*&#$%#@!#$%^&
1250 End of fanmeeting! GHS and LMH gave a final speech to everyone - same ol' contents like "Thank you for your support." and "We'll work harder from now on." etc but the way they said it was really sweet. :)
So this is my first 追星 account ever! I got kinda crippled and tired at the end of it all (no joke to stand for two hours straight in a stifling position) but it was worth it. I'm just really glad that they decided to visit Taiwan while I'm here, though it'd be even better if the whole cast came.
And yes, there is a very fangirlish side to me if you don't already know. XD
P.S. My computer wouldn't work with me so I couldn't get the photos to be uploaded. I didn't take many though, since I couldn't zoom in. :(
