070913- K Pop Republic

Okay, I just want to share some of my experience from yesterday's Kpop Republic. Here goes...

OMG. YESTERDAY WAS A BLAST!

Yesterday, with the help of my (awesome) best friend, KwonMin-Ah (You know I love you more because of this <33333) I got the chance to attend the presscon!! Actually, I didn't win (it was a raffle for lucky fans who can join the presscon) the presscon pass but KwonMin-Ah did. She actually won 2 times! And before, she promised me that if ever she would win again (which we really prayed hard for) she would give the presscon pass to me so I could join her! It was totally unexpected that she won two times but gosh, I thought she was just trolling me when she told me she won again but it wasn't a joke at all when I checked it! She was just too damn lucky (maybe including me because she gave the pass to me) LOL.

We lined up there, outside the cinema, where the presscon will be held, for a few hours and tbh, the long wait was totally worth it! It was my first time seeing SHINee, EXO, Dal Shabet, Crispy Crunch together with Soomin of April Kiss and we were both star strucked! The girls legs were totally eye-catching (we are not erts, fyi) and the guys are totally breath taking especially SHINee & EXO!

 

Since it was my first time seeing EXO (it was already KwonMin-Ah's second time seeing them since she went to DKFC last January) I was really shocked at the same time amazed by their heights! Chanyeol was like (literally) a tower together with Sehun and Kai, my love, while Suho, Kyungsoo and Baekhyun wasn't really that small to begin with. If compared to an average Filipino height (I am a Filipina, obviously) they were just average or maybe even above average.

I smell Kaisoo btw.

We all know that Chanyeol's voice is deep. But hearing it personally made me shocked like my first time hearing it. It was really husky and deep. y in other words. Kai wasn't dark at all, not at all. Maybe if I am going to compare my skin color with him, I would look like a loser (I am fair, as all my friends say). Suho again, on the other hand, was like glowing! He was really fair, like the ones who live in North Pole since the sun doesn't shine on that place. And his smile was really angelic! He keeps on smiling here and there and gosh, he could melt us right on the spot!

This was where we were seated during the presscon. It was 10 rows behind the table where the artists were seated. We were both seated at the very middle so we had a pretty good view of everything.

Honestly, I really envy the host of the presscon. Her name is Jinri Park. She is a radio VJ, a model and a host. She is a half Korean and half Filipina. Having to speak English, Tagalog, Korean languages was really an advantage for her. She was so lucky to be able to interview SHINee, EXO, Dal Shabet, Crispy Crunch ft. Soomin. Not to mention she was also the host who interviewed SiHae (Super Junior's Siwon and Donghae) during their fan meet here last year. She is beautiful, ehem.

Before we were allowed to enter the venue, we had a little orientation of do's and don'ts. We were strictly told not to make any noise at all, especially shouting as not to overwhelm or frighten the artists. According to the PD unnie (she was Korean), the artists were easily afraid of these small things. She also said that we aren't allowed to take any pictures (which I think everyone didn't follow) or else they will cancel the presscon right away. Psshh, yeah right.

At first we were really calm and all. We would just do these suppressed noises instead of shouting but everything vanished when EXO was about to leave and Chanyeol caught us off guard and said, 'Mahal ko kayo!' (means I love you in tagalog). Everyone screamed for like a split second before we all realized our mistake and slap our hands over our mouth. Everyone laughed including Jinri unnie and the PDs. It was an epic fail of us, the audience.

Then came SHINee. They were the last for the line-up for the presscon and we waited a bit long for them. It was less than an hour before concert starts and we were still in the presscon venue which is quite far from the concert venue (if you would just walk it). But after the long wait, they finally showed up and wowed us all. Though they weren't complete (Minho was absent due to his MCing activities) we were still really happy to seen them. Not to mention the JongKey fanservice during the presscon and the concert.

Taemin was a bit quiet and I think Onew was trying his best to look hot and mysterious (trying not to smile) but failed. Jonghyun was really the one who talks the most while Key, my love, was really just plain cuuute! When he was asked about his fashion sense in English and was translated in Korean, he answered it in English and everyone in the audience was amazed by his English! Not to mention his y accent. And we were all like, 'Woooooooooooow!' then he suddenly laughed at our reaction and he was like LOLing there and he was bowing his face in the table so he could suppress his laughter. It was just plain cute!! His fashion style was really F.A.B., btw.

After the presscon finished, KwonMin-Ah and I separated ways since our seating in the concert was different. (hers was a lot nearer, rich kid ehem!) So I ran all the way to the concert venue. It wasn't really far but there was a lot of of other people crowding the ways so it was quite troublesome. I arrived at the venue with a spare time. I was with fishyforlife and her mother. We even had a chance to eat pizza and soda (which her mother treated, thanks again btw! <3) before the concert started.

The concert was really fun. The audience were especially Shawols and EXO stans. To sum it all of, it was really a great night. Though there wasn't an encore (I saw picture of EXO-K members eating like monkeys backstage .___.) it was really a fun concert! Especially I finally met the love of my life, Onew, Taemin, Suho, Chanyeol, Sehun and especially Key and Kai!!! <333333

PS: At the end of the concert I think the productions of the concert was hinting Infinite World Tour this year and Dream Kpop Fantasy Concert 2 next year since they were showing VCRs. Dream Kpop Fantasy Concert 2 next year I think features A Pink, Super Junior M and more. It was really hard to clearly see the pictures of the artists in the VCR since it was really fast.
