After three years of careful management, I was finally secure enough to take the trip I'd been dreaming of to South Korea. Although I'd started out as a Kpop fan, falling in love first with the guys of Big Bang and then others, the more I learned about South Korea, the more I fell in love with the country itself, and its culture. Now, here I am.

Following my guide book, I decide to stop for something to eat at a BBQ place it recommends. After ordering my food I stuck my headphones in and my music. At that moment Jiyong's “The Leaders” come on and I start mumbling the song under my breath. I guess it was still too loud because the person behind me taps me on the shoulder. I turn to apologize, “I'm so sorry, it's my favorite p...” OMO, it 's Jiyong! Of course I don't scream or anything like that because I'm too cool and mature for that. I look past him and see all of Big Bang smiling at me. Some sort of sound must have left my mouth because they all laugh. I look back at Ji, “Um, Mr. Kwon, please forgive me for mangling your song.” he just laughs. “You are alone?” he asks. I nod. “Come and sit with us.” I don't want to intrude, but I don't want to miss this opportunity either. “Are you sure?” I ask and they all nod. I agree and enjoy a day getting to know Big Bang.
