KBS The Unit: My thoughts after episode 1, 2 only about girl groups~

After waiting for so long,
finally the 1st episode of KBS The Unit started to air at yesterday!!

Since there are many idols that I am familiar with joined the show,
of course I must watch it.


When the show started,
the judges all get ready on the seat,
not much rubbish talk,
straight away start the audition within 1 minute.
This left a good impression at me~

(Please be noticed that, I am biased to those groups that I like, so my thoughts will be heavily biased too.)

The 1st contestants were totally out of my expectation,
surprisingly is Good Day!

This is because the recording of audition lasted 3 days,
from Friday until Sunday,
and Good Day members went to audition at Sunday,
so I was thinking that they won't appear at 1st episode........

During interview,
Good Day members admitted that by appearing at music shows and promote their songs were not enough,
so the reason they joined The Unit is to raise their popularity,

The stage they performed was SNSD "Into The New World".

Finally 5 of out 6 members passed the audition,
only the maknae Lucky failed.

Lucky's eyes straight away filled with tears after knowing she failed,
Rain quickly talked about his own experience to try to comfort her.

Anyway the 1st episode is all about audition,
and I think 2nd episode will be audition too........

Below is list that I made according to audition result,
the names were all directly translated,
please forgive me if there is any mistake:

Super Boot( received 90% of audience's voting, no need to through judges, directly passed the audition.)
1)Spica Yang Jiwon

At 1st she talked about that after disbandment,
in order to survive,
she even went to work part-time.

She is good though, started singing for less than 30 seconds, already receive 90% audience's voting, passed the audition!

Hopefully she can be success at The Unit and don't need to work part-time anymore.........


6votes
2)April Lee Hyunjoo

Hyunjoo is good too, 75% audiences voted, just a little bit more to reach 90%.
All 6 judges voted to let her pass.


3)Cube Lee Juhyeon

 
Juhyeon is just 13years old.
Just 13 years old.
Just 13 years old.

Her superb dancing skill even receive recognition that she might surpasses Boa one day.


4)Dal Shabet Serri
5)Dal Shabet Woohee

I was looking forward for their stage......
But mostly get edited out......


5votes
6)Brave Girls Yujeong
7)Good Day Jiwon
8)Laboum Haein

I already shared Good Day's stage above, anyway Jiwon's gum smile is always her killing weapon~
Laboum and Brave Girls were same like Dal Shabet,
mostly get edited out..............


4votes
9)Laboum Yujeong
10)Good Day Heejin

Heejin,  the main vocal of Good Day~


3votes
11)Good Day Viva
12)Laboum ZN

13)Good Day Genie
14)T-ara Han Areum

A lot of the audiences were shocked when seeing her appeared.
No matter how,
after so many things she still willing to stand out and join the show,
she should be praised of her braveness.


1vote
15)Bestie Hyeyeon
I don't understand.....
why only one vote?
She is good though.
What happened to her stage?

16)Brave Girls Eunjin
I thought she will receive more votes.....
KBS please show us their stages.....

17)Good Day Chaesol
Luckily Rain voted for her.........


Today the 1st episode already announced 17 contestants who passed,
and their 99 seconds self intro video were uploaded,
please go to The Unit's vlive channel to watch if you are interested:
http://channels.vlive.tv/D814E3/video

I can't wait for next week 2nd episode,
hoping to see the center of center group Euijin~

KBS The Unit: 第1, 2集观后感，主女团

等了又等，盼了又盼，
昨天The Unit第一集终于开播了！！

由于有很多我熟悉的爱豆参加，
我当然第一时间收看了。

首先值得称赞的是，
开场时评判们之间没有太多的垃圾对话，
一分钟之内就马上进入选拔。

(事先申明，我的感想不是公正的，会特别偏向于那些我比较喜欢的爱豆队伍~)

首先第一个参加者们，
出乎意料地是我非常熟悉的Good Day。

这是因为选拔录影进行3天，
星期五到星期日，
而Good Day成员们是星期日才去录影，
想说不会那么快在第一集就登场，
结果有被惊喜到。

Good Day成员们也坦然承认，
参加的理由是想增加知名度，
毕竟只是在音乐节目打歌是在效果有限。

她们表演的舞台是少女时代的“重新相逢的世界”。

最后6名成员中5名合格，
只有最小的忙内Lucky失格，
她一知道自己落选，
双眼立刻泪水满眶。

还好Rain马上开口安慰。
呵呵。

总之第一集都在选拔，
而且看情况第二集还是继续会在选拔环节，
什么时候才能看到组合之间的对决呢.............

以下是简单制作的选拔成绩排行，名字直接翻译，有错请见谅:

Super Boot(获得现场观众90%以上投票，不需经过评审，直接入选。)
1)Spica Yang Jiwon

一开始就谈到她团体解散后，为了维持生计，
还得去打工ㅠ_ㅠ

总之她太强了，才开始表演不到30秒，就获得90%观众投票，直接选拔合格！

希望她能在The Unit获得成功，摆脱打工的日子....

6票
2)April Lee Hyunjoo

舞台上的强者一名，现场观众投票率高达75%，距离90%只差少许。
最后6名评审都投票让她合格。

3)Cube Lee Juhyeon

 
她才13岁，
13岁，
13岁。

精湛的舞蹈甚至被称赞说将会超越Boa。

4)Dal Shabet Serri
5)Dal Shabet Woohee

原本还很期待这两位的舞台的说.....
结果几乎被剪辑掉了......

5票
6)Brave Girls Yujeong
7)Good Day Jiwon
8)Laboum Haein

Jiwon的舞台上面谈到Good Day时已经分享，总之她的露龈微笑简直是必杀技。
Laboum和Brave Girls成员们的舞台都很可惜，
跟Dal Shabet一样被剪辑到只剩下一点点...........

4票
9)Laboum Yujeong
10)Good Day Heejin

Heejin不愧是Good Day的主唱~

3票
11)Good Day Viva
12)Laboum ZN

2票
13)Good Day Genie
14)T-ara Han Areum

一登场就很多观众惊讶，
不管怎样，
经历过以前的事情，
还能挺身参与选拔，
勇气可嘉！

1票
15)Bestie Hyeyeon
不明白为什么只得到一票....
明明挺有实力的。
舞台都被剪辑，不懂发生了什么事.....

16)Brave Girls Eunjin
还以为她会获得很多票数......
KBS可以上传她们的舞台给我们看吗？

17)Good Day Chaesol
幸好Rain投了她一票......


今天第一集就公布了17名合格者。
合格者们的99秒自我介绍短片也在节目后上传上来，
有兴趣的可以去The Unit的Vlive频道收看：
http://channels.vlive.tv/D814E3/video

期待下周的第二集，
中心组的中心Euijin应该会登场了吧？

Good Day还挺受注目的，
我在想着是不是要提前写关于Good Day的回忆录......

回忆录 AOA篇：第一章 亲眼见到了AOA，然后我被骗了美金200左右!?

记得是在2012年年尾，
朋友Y通过FB分享了一个youtube视频给我。

我打开一看，
哦！居然是5人乐队，挺新鲜的！

没错，
正是AOA BLACK的"GET OUT"表演视频。

看着看着，听着听着，
那个金发马尾的主唱Choa就把我吸引住了。

而我，就此开始注意起AOA。

2013年年头，
某公司计划在马来西亚举办演唱会，
预计会有3个韩国团体，
分别是少女时代、AOA和迟了很多才公布的神话。

有少女时代！又有AOA!
 对于当时追星等级只有10的我完全是天大的好消息！

而且当时我刚开始工作几个月，
正是花钱欲望最旺盛的时期，
想也不想地，
就买了约RM700最贵的VIP门票。
（当时约美金200元。。。当时。。。）

演唱会开始前几个星期，
主办公司邀请了AOA来马来西亚进行造势宣传活动。
并且抽选了大约80名VIP门票购买者，
来与AOA合照。

当然，一向来运气不错的我被选中了！

记得当天是4月16号.......

因为合照被安排在记者会之后，
我就早点抵达现场，想说可以看到记者会的点滴。
(记得是在Renoma Cafe, 可惜已经拆迁了.......)

哪里知道记者会是封闭式的，
我只好痴痴地在外面等待，
也因为这样，
认识了朋友A。

当时并没有想到，
这位朋友A会在2014年跟我一起去韩国看AOA。

之后，
主办公司的职员抵达，
将我们分成4组，
一组一组进去cafe跟AOA合照。

我被安排在第三组，
等待的当儿我拿出自制的应援卡片，
上面写着“AOA”，
下面则是"초아짱" (Choa Jjang)。

等了10多分钟，
终于轮到我们这一组了。

我们排着队进入cafe，
走上楼梯，
紧张地来到紧闭的白色门前。

门一打开，
一名工作人员示意排在我前面的男生去一旁放书包，
于是排在他身后的我得以第一个入场。

我一走进去，
左边是一堆工作人员和摄影师，
右边则是站成一排的AOA成员们。

原本在交谈的她们转过头来，
看到我手上拿着的应援卡片，
脸上纷纷露出喜色。

我扫视了成员们一眼，
看到Choa站在最右边，
立刻向着她走过去。

"Annyeonghasaeyo. Annyeonghasaeyo。"
当时我走过其他成员面前时，只是简单地打招呼，
毕竟我的心思都放在Choa身上，也没发现Yuna没来马来西亚。

Choa看到我的应援卡片上有"초아짱" 三个字，
知道我是她的粉丝，
开心地走前一步，伸手与我相握。

握手之后，我立刻顺势站在她身边~

在等着其他人就位时，
我用韩文跟Choa说成员之中我最喜欢她了，
而她也入乡随俗地回道：“Terima kasih.”
(Terima kasih = 谢谢)

之后，我们就合照了一张：

未免侵犯他人隐私，
我稍微crop了照片，
只留下我和AOA成员们。

拍了照，
我们就开心地下楼，
然后和其他人一起目送她们乘车离开。

原本还很期待下个月可以在演唱会中见到AOA，
但没想到。。。。。
我再次见到她们时，
居然是在3个月后..............

这是因为，
演唱会的前3天，
主办方突然宣布取消演唱会!!!

最惨的是，
主办方一直到现在都还没退钱给我们..........

Marctensia啊。。。
你的良心还在吗？
已经4年多了，
我们还在痴痴等待着.........

总之下一次我与AOA的见面，
就是在3个月后的AOA BLACK回归。

而那次见面，
也只能算是漫长回忆录的前面一部分而已..............
 

预告一：DREAMCATCHER篇1

与MINX (DREAMCATCHER前身)的初次见面，就是咖啡厅约会!?

预告二：其他篇

下全州去少女时代Taeyeon父母的眼镜店，不只见到了父母，还乘上了Taeyeon父亲的汽车!?

预告三：SONAMOO篇1
因为朋友，认识了SONAMOO。像是天注定的，与她们的第一次见面， 完全是在我意料之外的地方！？

Memories with AOA Chapter 1 : 1st time seeing AOA, and then my money USD200 is conned!?

I still remember it was near the end of year 2012,
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..........

1st is self-introduction

My nickname is KrauserOppa.

I am from Malaysia.

Like what the topic has said,

the articles that I going to upload at this blog,

are about the memories of me meeting Kpop Idols at Korea.

I have been consistently going South Korea every year since 2010.

At 1st, I went there just for the purpose of visiting. (Level 0)

Then, I went to visit entertainment companies,  or idols related places. (Level 1)

Then, I started to go music shows. (Level 10)

Then, I started to attend fansign events to meet with the idols. (Level 50)

Then, I had Tea Time, Meal Time, Picnic, Sports events with idols. (Level 99)

There were a lot of memories created with them.

For all these years,

around 130 idols that I actually met face to face, received their signatures at fansign events.

If including those idols that I saw from far away at music shows......

should be more than 500~

(my friend said might be more than 1000, but I not sure, so 500, a safer number~)

It might be hard to believe that I met so many idols,

so I am thinking to put some proofs here.

By showing my fansign albums here? Too many....

By showing those idols polaroids that I received? Too many.....

So,

I decided to put my pictures that taken with them:

AOA, MINX (pre-DREAMCATCHER), APRIL, BERRY GOOD, SONAMOO, LABOUM.

Those are the idol groups that I had the most memories with them,

so my blog will be mainly about them.

Don't worry, I will write some memories about other groups that I met them one or few times only.

For example like SISTAR, APINK, MAMAMOO and some other groups.

I will upload many articles at 1st so that my blog will has more contents,

then I will slow it down and only upload 1 or 2 articles per week.

Yeah, my memories are limited.

Especially I decided not to visit South Korea so often from now on.....

Before ending my 1st article,

I will write down my life quote about idols:

"If you really really really like an idol,

please go to meet her/him for atleast once in a life time,

let her/him knows about you.

You are not doing it just for yourself,

you are actually doing it for that idol too.

This is because,

they are curious, and would like to meet their fans too."

首先来个自我介绍

大家好，

我是KrauserOppa。

真名、年龄等就不透露了。

唯一可以透露的，就是我来自马来西亚~

正如部落格名字所写，

我即将在这里上传的文章，

都是过往我在韩国追星的回忆录。

说来并不夸张，

我从2010年开始就每年去韩国，

从一开始的纯粹旅游，(等级0)

去爱豆公司朝拜、到与爱豆有关连的胜地参观，(等级1)

去音乐节目参与录影，(等级10)

去签名会与爱豆们直接见面，(等级50)

甚至与爱豆们一起茶会、餐会、露营会、运动会。 (等级99)

透过这一些，留下了许多的回忆。

这些年来，

我在签名会上直接面对面，获得她们签名的爱豆数量有130个左右。

如果连在音乐节目现场，遥遥看到的爱豆都算进去的话，

应该超过500吧！

(我朋友说超过1000，但还是谦虚一点.....)

当然，口说无凭，

证据一定要有。

放签名专辑照片的话，太多了放不完。

放拍立得照片的话，也是太多了放不完。

所以，

就放我跟她们的合照好了：

AOA, MINX ( DREAMCATCHER前身 ), SONAMOO, BERRY GOOD, LABOUM，APRIL.

我跟这些女团的回忆最多，

所以回忆录主要的内容就是这些女团了。

当然，

我也会写一些有过一面、或几面之缘的爱豆，

如SISTAR, APINK, MAMAMOO等等。

一开始我会写多一点来充实部落格的内容，

然后会放慢至一星期一更或二更，

毕竟回忆终究有写完的一天。

结束之前，

写下我追星的座右铭好了：

“如果真的真的真的很喜欢那位爱豆的话，

那么一生人中至少要亲眼去见她一次，

面对面说些话。

不只为了自己，

也为了对方。

因为爱豆本身其实也很好奇，也想见见自己的粉丝。”

预告一：AOA篇1

亲眼见到了AOA，然后我被骗了美金200左右!?

预告二：DREAMCATCHER篇1

与MINX (DREAMCATCHER前身)的初次见面，就是咖啡厅约会!?

预告三：其他篇
