11st June 2016 (Saturday)

Sports event............
It sounded not very interesting, right?

But what if....................
A sports event with idols?

Looking at the KPOP world,
there were not a lot of idols that did sports event with fans.
I didn't know much about boys groups,
For girls groups,
Dia and Hello Venus did before, and .......... that's all I know @_@

So when SONAMOO announced that they will be doing a precious event like this,
I straight away asked my Singapore friend C who happened to be at Korea during end of May to help me register for the sports event~

Since the participants amount was limited to 50 persons only,
I was quite nervous that time,
but my friend C really helpful and helped me to register on time,
so I was the 10th-15th person who registered out of 50.
(During the sports event day only I realized that the numbering of registration played a big role!)

After registering,
I started to.........................regret.

The sports event was at 11st June,
and there was no any comeback news of SONAMOO.

By that,
I will be like traveled so long distance to Korea,
just to see SONAMOO on the sports event day....................

Then what?
Stay at Korea until SONAMOO comeback with new song?

Crazy......................

They didn't even announce comeback date,
what if I need to stay more than 1 month?
Somehow, June was the busiest period of my works,
basically I couldn't take any leave around that period.

So................
I was thinking a lot that time.

At last,
since I didn't see Minjae for 9 months,
I decided to buy flight ticket and go......
Departing at the night of 9th June,
reaching at 10th June,
joining SONAMOO sports event at 11st June,
then back to my country at 12nd June.

Quite a crazy decision,
but I still did it for Minjae~

Of course,
since I left for 3 days during important timing,
so I get scolded by customer..............
(Yeah, I work at weekend as well.)

Okay,
let's skip all these and straight into the topic!

On the day,
the gathering time was 2pm,
the place was at primary school near Mullae station.

I wore hat, sports shirt and short pants, with sports shoes.
I came to Korea so many times,
but this was the first time I went out with sports outfit~

After getting out from Mullae station,
I saw a bunch of SONAMOO fans at the bus stop opposite,
I recognized some of them because last year I went to Cushion promotion,
so I canceled my plan to walk to the primary school,
instead went to the bus station and waited for bus with them.

However,
I was not very close with them that time,
so I didn't say hi to them,
just followed them behind to get on the bus.

We didn't even warm the bus seat,
already reached the primary school.........

I walked pass the school gate,
and saw a familiar face,
a Korean people who I always saw at different girls groups events~

I went to say hi to him,
and through him, I made friend with a female SONAMOO fans, she is D.ana fan.
Then, a very talkative 30 years old SONAMOO male fan joined our chat.
(I saw this D.ana fan and the talkative fan for the next comeback~ )

Two female TS staffs came to verify our identity and gave us the team shirt,
those with registration number from 1 to 25 were given pink shirt while
26 to 50 were given blue shirt.

I registered quite early so I received a pink shirt.............
I do not wear pink by the way............

Anway,
I started to get nervous,
since there were only two teams,
so there are 50% chances that Minjae will be same team with me!

Since we couldn't find any washroom or place to change shirt,
so most of us just wore the shirt with another shirt inside,
wearing double layer during the start of summer season.......... @_@

Under the lead by the staffs,
we went up to 2nd floor which is a small sports stadium.

We pink team members put down all our belongings at the left side, while blue team on the right side,
then we gathered and lined up at the front of the stage,

I was at the right hand side of pink line, near the center,
and quite in front, so my position was good~

The male MC went up to the stage and started talking with mic to warm up the atmosphere.

Suddenly, he asked:
"Who came from the furthest?"

Ooops,
since I came from other country, so most probably would be me.................

While some people from blue team shouted that he/she is from other city or other province,
pink team members who were around me all pointed at me,
so I told the MC the name of my country.

"Okay! Seems like you came from the furthest, please come up to the stage to receive a gift."
The MC told me.

Oh... got gift?
I quickly went up to the stage.

"Please choose one from all these gifts."The MC said.

The gifts were Cushion signed albums, polaroid photo of each SONAMOO member,
and the team shirt that the SONAMOO members wore during Idol Sports Event.

Since I like Minjae the most,
so I chose Minjae's polaroid photo~

The sports event not even started,
and I already received my favourite member polaroid photo~
This trip was so worhty~

By the way,
SONAMOO members were doing Vlive that time,
but we didn't know.
The short 10 minutes Vlive:

Feel free to watch the Vlive so that you can have a clearer look of the place~

Then the SONAMOO members started to enter the place one by one,
first was Sumin with pink shirt,
I was happy that Sumin same team with me~

Next is Minjae, also pink shirt!
Same team! I am so lucky today!
Minjae saw me at the pink team line, waved at me~

Then D.ana, Nahyun and Euijin were all blue team,
High D and Newsun were pink team~

As what Vlive has shown,
the members did self-introduction on the stage,
then went down and stood at the front of their respective team,
and sang the National anthem,
followed by Cushion song for warming up.

After the Cushion song,
we started the first game,
is hard to explain the game,
so please watch the Vlive that I linked above~

Anyway,
Sumin fell down at the first game,
just a slight injury on her elbow,
so she went to stick a plaster on it then came back to join us~

After the first game,
we went back to our resting area,
prepared for take group pic.

Since each team need to choose a person to be the mascot of the team,
Minjae pulled the D.ana fan out from us while the fan was quite hesitated~
She was forced to wear a magical hat, long cloak, holding a broom, totally cosplayed as a magician~
So the D.ana fan became the mascot of pink team~

Luckily she could take off the costume after taking group pic,
no need to wear until the end of the sports event LOL

I took the chance and showed Minjae the polaroid photo that I received just now,
and praised that her new black hair is very pretty~

Then the games continued,
the next game also quite troublesome to explain,
so I will just skip it and we pink team lost the game.

Next,
we played volleyball.
I meant................
we played HUGE volleyball!

Well.........
it was actually a HUGE balloon that looks like volleyball,
and 29 person VS 28 person,
what we needed to do was just push the balloon to the opposite team.
Anyway, we pink team lost again~

Next was flying shoes game,
we need to kick and let the shoe fly away, to drop at the target.

Each team sent 5 representatives,
since I ran a lot during the games before, so I decided to take rest and skipped,
and Minjae joined it..............

After the game,
Minjae came back to the resting area,
and said to me:
“molli watsenika, manni1 chamyo haeya ha jio.”
(since you came from so far away, you should actively join the games)

Next game is Limbo Battle~

Since I had 4 years of dancing experience,
and I always did stretching so my body is quite flexible,
plus Minjae asked me to be more active,
so,
I decided to join the Limbo Battle!

None of the SONAMOO members from pink team joining,
so the 5 representatives were all fans including me,
while blue team sent out 4 fans and ................Nahyun!

Unexpectedly,
the flexibility of my teammates were not good enough..........
After only two rounds,
blue team was left with Nahyun and 3 fans,
while pink team only left with me and a male fan............

3rd round,
I successfully passed the beam,
and high five with Sumin, Minjae, High D and Newsun while walking back~

However,
the male fan who was same team with me, failed to pass the beam,
so,
there was only me left with pink team!

As for blue team,
Nahyun and 3 fans all successfully passed the beam.

Starting from 4th round,
I will be 1 VS 4 !!
