After the fansign at 26th January, there was pre-recording for SBS The Show at 28th January. That was the first time we go to The Show, so none of us know where the place is......... We checked the Google Map, and found a SBS TV Station at Mokdong. We even tried to find the pic of that TV Station, and found out it was the TV Station that always appeared on Runningman last time, so we concluded that the recording place should be there. On that day, we even invited one Taiwan friend to go to watch the pre-recording together~ At the SBS Mokdong, we entered the building, and saw no AOA fans or any FNC staffs.............. Until 5 minutes after the gathering time, still nothing......... I started to think: Did we go to the wrong place again? So I decided to go to the counter and asked, and yeah, we came to the wrong place!! The correct place was SBS Prism Tower, which was just one station away from where we stayed, and we idiot traveled so far to Mokdong......... THE HISTORY REPEATED!!! (Please refer to chapter4) Thus, same as last time, we quickly took taxi to the correct place....... But this time my luck wasn't as good as last time, when we reached SBS Prism Tower, AOA already recorded...... Aiks.......... After that, it was the Korea New Year holiday, no idol activities, so for almost one week I never see AOA already......... until the fansign event at Sunday........ This time, to avoid ourselves from going to the wrong place again, friend A and me even purposely went to the fansign place the day before, to make sure that we won't go to the wrong place again LOL Before the Korea New Year holiday, AOA appeared at Shimshimtapa radio, and Mina mentioned that she wants a car. So........ Friend A went to buy a car........... I meant a model car..... for Mina~ I also bought a car........ a model car~ Then the members will have two cars to play and race together~ I was planning to give it to the most childish member~ Also during the New Year holiday, friend A and me became normal traveler, we went to Everland with two Taiwan friends. Cold winter, I sat at the amusement machines which turned very fast, I can felt that the cold wind invaded my whole body, so I ended up felt sick at the next day......... I came to Korea to see AOA, but not only I couldn't see AOA for few days, and felt sick some more..... Aiks............ Until Sunday......... 6 days already........... Totally 6 days......... We didn't see AOA at all.......... Luckily there was a fansign event at the night before we leaving, so before going back to our country, at least we still can see AOA one more time......... On fansign day, since I didn't feel very well, so we didn't go to Inkigayo, and just went to fansign event. My seat was NO.69 and friend A was NO.70. Around 8pm, AOA members appeared on the stage with the hot red stage costume. Finally, it was my turn and friend A followed me behind. 1st member was still Choa. "Annyeonghasayo." I said. "Oh! Long time no see." Choa was happy to see me. Choa read the message I wrote on a small paper, then asked me:"How old are you?" "27." I answered, and prayed in my heart: Please call me Oppa, please call me Oppa, call me Oppa please "Oppa." Choa fulfilled my wish~ YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Choa smiled and said:"XX Oppa, you are my No.1 fan." (XX is my name.) Choa then showed a "1" with her finger, and spoke with English:"Number One." I have no regrets in my life already........... Choa admitted that I am her No.1 fan............... All the money I spent for this trip....... The suffering of never seeing AOA for 6 days at Korea.......... ALL WORTHY~~~~~ "The Valentine Day is coming soon, so......." I took out a gift from the paper bag. The gift was heart-shaped pink box, inside of the box was filled with .........my love ~ LOL just joking....... a chocolates box actually~ "Kamsahamnida."Choa happily accepted my love.........the chocolates I meant~ Then, we said good bye to each other, and I moved to next member Hyejeong. Don't know why........... Everytime I will feel awkward in front of Hyejeong, maybe because I always give present to Choa but never give Hyejeong, so I feel a bit sorry....... This time I also awkwardly received her signature, but Hyejeong did write a message telling me to be careful when going back~ Next was Chanmi. "You having sore throat? Can't talk a lot? Then you don't have to talk, I talk, and you listen."' Chanmi told me. Chanmi you are so kind~~~~~~~~~~ So Chanmi kept talking: "So I went back hometown with my family, and we ate chicken." "Oh."I listened. Next was Yuna. After knowing I felt sick, Yuna's face was full of sympathy expression, and said:"Otteoke?" Then she reached out her left palm, and I automatically reached out my right palm, she grabbed and hold my right hand, I was so shy~~~ Yuna told me to always wear mask and scarf, my heart was warmed by receiving her cares. Next........ Mina saw me then quickly said:"Aku cinta padamu." (please refer to chapter9) Wow she still remembered what happened last week, suddenly her memory became so good~ Then she knew that I felt sick, so she said that she also doesn't feeling very well, we are same LOL Since the bias member of friend A is Mina, and he prepared a lot of gifts for Mina, so I didn't disturb Mina a lot, quickly move to Jimin and gave my place to friend A. I said hi to Jimin, then asked her to look at Mina, and she saw friend A gave Mina a red model car. Then I said:"It might be boring to play with one car, so........." I took out a yellow model car from paper bag and gave it to Jimin. "Woohooooo!!" Jimin was so surprised until almost jumped off from her chair. Jimin took the model car box, then patted Mina's shoulder, and told her:"Ya! Katchi nol ja!"(Let's play together!) Then, Jimin left a message on the album, wishing me a speedy recovery and will prays for me~
Finish. Then I went back to my seat, and surprised to see that friend A still in front of Mina, he gave 3 gifts to Mina so Mina totally remembered about him. Thanks to him, whenever Mina was free, she waved at us~ (Sadly I didn't record it.......) I still remember there was a time, I shouted:"Mina~~~ babo~~~~ aniyaaa~~~" (Mina you are not stupid.) Then everyone laughed, not only laughed at what I shouted, but also because I was having sore throat, so my voice sounded very funny~ Also, re-watching one of the fancam I took, Hyejeong did mention that they hoped to win 1st place:
Then they really won 1st place at Inkigayo the following week!! So incredible~ Fansign ended. Next day morning, I went to the airport alone and left Korea. Friend A's flight was at evening, so he went to watch pre-recording of AOA at Simply Kpop, and he almost late for the flight LOL Anyway, for this trip, I first time experienced winter, and had a phobia at it since I felt sick, so I always tried to avoid going Korea at winter........ Also, because of this trip, I learnt that fansign is very fun to go, and gotten addicted to it.... My addiction eventually became stronger during AOA next comeback "Short Hair"........ And that, will be another chapter........ Thanks for reading.

If you want to search for previous chapters, feel free to visit My KPOP Memories Timeline ~ 9th August 2015 (Sunday) Before I starting to write about what happened at Sunday, let me tell a small story which happened at Wednesday or Thursday. (Couldn't remember which day exactly........@_@) If you read the chapters before, you know that I have a Singapore friend C right? So friend C came to Korea to support MINX at the start of Love Shake promotion, then left Korea two days earlier than me. After that I came to Korea again but my friend didn't come and stay at Singapore. Since there will be recording for MBC Idol Star Athletics Championships at Monday (10th August), so I asked friend C whether he would like to come to Korea or not. Below is our Kakaotalk conversation: Me:"Next Monday the recording of ISAC will start at early morning until late night, we will be able to see MINX the whole day, you really don't want to come?" C:"Nope! Only can see for one day, not coming!" Me:"Ohh..... what if suddenly there is event at Sunday? Maybe a fan meeting or busking......." C:"LOL impossible......." Me:"So for sure you not coming?" C:"Yup! Not coming!" 15 minutes after the conversation ended, my phone vibrated. I swiped it open and saw a new announcement from MINX official twitter. I read the announcement and laughed. MINX just announced that they will be doing Busking at Hangang Park this Sunday! My joke eventually came true~ Then, my phone vibrated again~ I swiped open the phone, this time was a Kakaotalk message from friend C. Friend C:".........Can you please help me ask the owner whether is there any empty room?" LOL LOL LOL Friend C who was so determined of not coming to Korea, suddenly changed his mind because of the Busking~ I laughed until stomach aching~ LOL Sunday............ Coincidentally other groups not having activity on that day,(Maybe to prepare for ISAC) so not only friend C and me, my friends who like other groups also came to Hangang. We reached an hour before the Busking time, and saw a lot of fancammers already there. Well........ since other girl groups no activity~ Even though Sua's birthday is tomorrow which is the day for ISAC recording, but we worried that it might be inconvinient to pass her birthday gifts during ISAC. So we put our birthday gifts into a large box under instruction of the fan manager, so that Happyface staffs can bring the box back after Busking. Then it is time to find a spot............. Since all the middle spots of front row already occupied by the fancammers, so we just stood at the left corner of the crowds, and turned out that we were lucky, because MINX members came from that direction~
My phone is scary, I didn't stand that close though, but the fancam feels like I stood very close........................ By here I need to mention my friend C again. So friend C told Yoohyeon that he needed to go for National Service before leaving Korea last time, if not he would had stay until the end of Love Shake promotion. Yoohyeon thought that friend C needed to be army for a few years, but actually friend C already completed it and just needed to go back to army camp for 1 week. So at the video above we can see that Yoohyeon pointed at friend C and said Moya. (Yoohyeon's Moya = What The Hell~) Anyway, Busking start!! During the first song, I was not satisfied with my corner spot, so I went to the back of the crowds and found a middle spot:
Basically, after the fansign event last Sunday, we already had one week never saw MINX members, so I was quite touched when listening to the song T_T After the song, MINX did their self-introductions: (My hands were shaky, especially when I was shouting.........-_-)
Next, they performed their debut song:
After that, is game time~ One of the quiz was to tell the names of all 5 members within 5 seconds, I did it within 3 seconds, so I won a signed album~ Then I started to feel sorry............. Since I already went to MINX fansign events, so I should not win myself another signed album, and should given the chance to other people, at least help MINX to gain 1 new fan.................... Anyway, the album was quite special as the cover not only has the signatures of all 5 members, but also a small message which written by one of the member. Which member? The mystery was solved much later when I having tea time with MINX~ In order to prepare to sing Birthday song for Sua, Jiu asked us:"Everyone should know that tomorrow is what day right?" MINX always praised us that we have sense and able to read the atmosphere quickly, but at that time something went wrong in our brains, so we answered:"Ayukdae!"(ISAC) Jiu who didn't receive the answer that she wanted, just laughed only............... Then only we read the atmosphere and shouted Sua's birthday, and finally we could sang birthday song to Sua. Phew......... That was dangerous........... Then the performances continued: (My middle spot was gone after I went up to win the signed album............)
And a small interaction while preparing for next song:
Here comes my favorite song:
Then each member talked about their thoughts and feelings for the ending of Love Shake promotion:
Finally they performed Love Shake......... I didn't record it........... Photo time:
After that I couldn't remember exactly............. I think because the crowds asked for encore, so MINX performed Love Shake again. (If my memory served correctly...........) Then Busking ended and we left Hangang. There were around 10 of us took bus to go to Hongdae together, and we went to supermarket to buy some snacks to prepare for ISAC recording, to prevent from being starved for food at there. (eventually yeah..........) Please look forward to next chapter~ The torturing but happy ISAC recording day~ Thanks for reading. Teaser 1 - AOA chapter10 Good bye, winter.
