my friend Y shared a youtube video and asked me to watch it.
I opened the video....
Oh wow! A girl band consisting of 5 members!
This is so new~
Yeah, the video was actually "Get Out" stage by AOA BLACK.
I watched and listened,
and then I was attracted to main vocal Choa whose hair was golden colour that time.
Starting from that day,
I started to have interest at AOA.
At the start of year 2013,
a company planned to held a concert at Malaysia,
they announced that there will be 3 groups performing,
which were SNSD, AOA and Shinhwa.
(Shinhwa was announced so much later....)
Oh wow!!
SNSD!!
AOA!!
This is like a heavenly news for me who is still a level 10 kpop newbie....
Since I started my job for few months already,
my desire to spend money was at the highest,
so without any consideration,
I spent RM700 to buy the VIP concert ticket.
(which is equivalent to USD200 that time......yeah right that time.....)
Few weeks before the concert,
the organizing company invited AOA to come to Malaysia to do some promotions regarding the concert,
and 80 VIP ticket holders were chosen to take photo together with AOA.
Yeah, I am one of the 80~
I still remember the date 16th April.....
The photo session is arranged after the press conference,
I reached the venue earlier,
hoping to watch the press conference as well.
(the venue is Renoma Cafe, which is gone now.....)
Of course the press conference is closed and no one was allowed to enter except reporters.
I couldn't see anything from outside since all the windows and glass wall were covered by curtains or posters.
So I was like an idiot waiting outside.....
and I made a new friend there.
Let's name him as friend A.
At that time I still had no idea that
friend A would later go Korea with me for AOA during year 2014~
After the press conference,
the staffs of the organizing company came and divided us into 4 groups.
We lined up and entered the cafe to take photo with AOA group by group.
I was in the third group.
While waiting,
I took out my self-made plank card.
The card is divided into two parts,
Upper part is “AOA”，
Lower part is "초아짱" (Choa Jjang)。
After waiting for around 10 minutes,
finally our turn to enter the cafe.
We went into the cafe,
walked up the stair,
and stopped in front of a closed white door.
The door opened,
a staff came out and asked the guy in front of me to put aside his bag,
and I became the 1st one to enter the room.
My left hand side were staffs and photographers,
while AOA members were stood in a line at my right hand side.
The members stopped talking and turned around,
and happily saw my AOA plank card.
I quickly scanned through the members and saw Choa standing at the right corner,
so I walked toward her.
"Annyeonghasaeyo. Annyeonghasaeyo。"
I kept saying hi to other AOA members while passing by them.
My concentration were all on Choa so I didn't realize that Yuna was absent.
Choa saw "초아짱" on my plank card,
so she knew I am her fan,
and reached out to shake hand with me.
I shook hand with her,
and quickly grabbed the chance to stand beside her.
While waiting other people to be prepared,
I told Choa in korean language that my bias in AOA is her.
She replied with "Terima kasih."
(Terima kasih = thank you)
And then we took a photo together:
I cropped the photo to include only me and the AOA members.
After taking photo,
we all went downstairs,
and saw them leaving by car.
That's all what happened that day.
After that,
I was eagerly waiting to see AOA again at the concert the following month.
But who knows.........
I only gotten to see them again 3 months later.....
This is because 3 days before the concert,
the organizing company suddenly announced that the concert is canceled!!!
The worst thing is,
they didn't even refund to us..............
Marctensia.............
is already been 4 years.....
we are still waiting ..............
No matter how,
the next time I saw AOA which was 3 months later,
when AOA BLACK made a comeback.
That will be another chapter of my memories with AOA..........
