; KPOP Heal The World 2011; The unlikely fan (Part 2)
(continued)

Ok where was i? Oh Yeah.

Then came the 'Fan Meet' at 5pm!

I saw these two guys hovering around the other entrance with like bags of stuff and placards, so i'm guessing like they're here for the Fan Meet too, so I asked, and we introduced. And when I mean guys I mean like males. So starting the small talk, I asked who they were here for.

One guy was like "T-ara." Well yeah i understand, they're pretty and all..

...the other one however exclaimed "MBLAQ!" with a kind of freakish glint in his eyes sending shivers down my spine.

I couldn't help but repeat after him. "MBLAQ??"
Lol! And he blabbered on.

Holy shit I have never seen a fanboy of a boyband up close before. And trust me it's not for the faint hearted. He'd chant the fanchant thingis randomly all by himself, and suddenly start singing along to MBLAQ songs. He'd then turn around to look at us, giving us that excited grin in self satisfaction. Save me. But other than that, he's kind of a normal nice person. Delusional. But other than that normal.

He never failed to continue freaking me out throughout the whole time. Other than those 2, we met these other 2 guys also there for the fan meet, who were pretty much perverts obsessed with porn and corny jokes. I mean. What on earth?! I got no idea how long my mouth was ajar just shocked at these new characters i'm looking at. Are these what they call fanboys?

...Now you understand why I do not want to label myself as a fanboy.

And yes there were girls of course, but their behaviors were pretty much easier to understand haha.

At 5pm there was still no news of where to meet, and MBLAQ Fanboy did the honours by calling the organiser, who told us to go to the back of Max Pavillion.

There, a crowd of fans had already formed hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourite idols. So we were sorted out from the non-winners by this lady from MediaPop (No i did not make an error, its not Mediacorp)

Not surprisingly, the moment that lady turned her back. Some of the non-winners started creeping behind us, trying to sneak in into the Fan Meet.

...and guess what? They succeeded. No photo ID was requested although we were told to bring it.

But ohwells i wasn't gonna be a tattletale so it was finally time to go Backstage. It was dark but the moment we went in I saw Jooyeon from Afterschool in her glittery dress walking past. Whoa we're in idol territory now. They were all rehearsing on stage so they were kinda running around?

We were brought into this conference room where there was a small stage and chairs were laid out and some media members were already present. Managed to sit in the first row cos I was following MBLAQ FanBoy LOL!

So yeah we waited, and wave after wave of disappointment hit us.

1) this Korean lady came in, prolly the manager, telling us that we weren't allowed to take pictures. And told the Media that they could only take the top half of the idols as...well..their skirts were short. Needless to say, there's not going to be any personal photo taking with them.

2) The emcee told us he'll just be asking a few questions to the idols on stage, and there won't be an autograph session like previously stated.

3) T-ara and T-Max(Ok i didnt care much abt T Max) will not be coming as they are behind schedule on their rehearsal. The T Max fan cried. So only Afterschool and MBLAQ (Much to MBLAQ Fanboy's glee)

I mean seriously the Fan meet was sounding more and more shitty as time passed. It basically became a Press Conference with a small amount of fans sitting in to hear.

But ohwells, many snapped out of their disappointment when the first of the bands arrived

...Afterschool!

Pardon me for the next few sentences or so, but HOLY CRAP. I was never really like, a fan of theirs? But omg they were really very pretty. I guess you don't have to be a fan to be stunned.
Like seriously if any of you had seen a star before (Not local ones of course) it was exactly that kind of starstruck feeling. While everyone was screaming, I was prolly the only one sitting there quietly soaking up the scene. (Literally soaking...I was secretly video-ing lol! They only said no photos) All the pictures here are screencaps from the video.

The file's really big so I don't know if i'll upload it anytime soon.

So the girls went on an answered some questions by the emcee. All poised and looking elegant, there was this particular member, Lizzy, who was happily communicating with the audience with hand signals. Shes one of the youngest i think? And one of the newer members as well.


LOL and MBLAQ Fanboy actually became Straight for a moment HAHA! Before that he was like "Actually I don't really like Afterschool." Just look at the video when I post it. All the male voices were made by him. I was quiet throughout the thing btw.

Overall, yeah they really looked like they popped out from the TV. Flawless skin and nicely made hair. Lol

Then came MBLAQ. Omg cue the madness. Cheers were even louder.
This screen cap above happened when MBLAQ Fanboy suddenly shouted "Saranghaeyo" Lee Joon and Cheongdung laughed along awkwardly with everyone else.

Yeah for MBLAQ not much questions were asked, they just posed for a few pictures, and G.O was just being humourous faking some maniac-like laughter in between poses.

So......can you believe it? That's the last we saw of them. All ended with 15 minutes or so. The emcee then took over the time, as he played some games to give out some pre-autographed merchandise. Limited copies of everything, so people were literally competing for it. The thicker skinned ones won autographed albums like this T-ara Temptastic Album. (It's probably worth close to S$100 now) Guess who won it?
MBLAQ Fanboy won it! Lol! He danced and sang Bo Peep on stage. But! He later exchanged it with this guy who won a MBLAQ autographed album. Sheesh?! Seriously -.-

I won the autographed poster by After School. Better than nothing i guess? :)

And so it was the end of the fan meet. There were still some who haven't won anything, and they were given some LANEIGE beauty products as a thank you.

Yeahh after that..well..we went to join the queue to enter the concert hall.

The concert was electrifying definitely. It's prolly the first concert I've ever been to? Actually, the first PAID concert I'm going to. I was at the Kpop Night concert in 2010 as a VIP usher. LOL spent the whole concert kneeling for that one.

AND OMG AM I UNLUCKY OR WHAT.

BEHIND ME

TWO GUYS

THOUGHT THEY WERE NORMAL

TURNS OUT

SHIT ANOTHER TWO BISEXUAL FANBOYS

These two are even worse omg. They have no qualms about screaming at the top of their lungs for their male idols. They were literally like "AH.....omg I cant even type it out cos the language is so digusting. Basically they referred to them as their babies and even shouted things like "Come to my house!". And dudes, you're sitting in Category 2, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy beyond the stage, and you're shouting things like "OMG HE WAVED AT ME!" One even pointed at the video screen and shouted "HE SMILED AT ME" Wtf. I practically lost all hope in my species at that moment.

But yeah overall, really good performance, nice songs. Glad I brought binoculars (Learnt from my friends who went to KPop Night). Too bad my camera was not strong enough to take from a distance. I never really learnt how to appreciate binoculars until that moment lol.

And yeah so my concert experience ended on a fun/disappointed note. I think its really wasted though..to have such a rare opportunity wasted by bad management. Ohwells...

Here are some pictures I TRIED taking with my camera.
