Before I start to write about the recording,
let's me explain a bit how to join the recording of GIRLS SPIRIT.
There were two ways to join:
1) SMS random drawing (if I remember correctly)
2) Follow the official fanclub to enter.
As a foreigner,
we can just give up the option of SMS random drawing,
this is because a verified phone number must be used.
Also,
too many people will opt for SMS random drawing.
WHY?
This was because even though INFINITE member Sungkyu was one of the MC,
but JTBC didn't prepare any fan seats for INFINITE fans,
so all the INFINITE fans could only tried SMS random drawing to join the recording to see Sungkyu.
So yeah........
I followed SONAMOO official fanclub of course~
But it was quite hard too.....
Since JTBC only provided 10 fan seats to each singer,
so we needed to register ourselves at fan cafe as soon as the registration time opened.
ONLY FIRST 10 FANS WHO REGISTERED!!
Luckily,
I was one of the first 10 fans so I am safe,
but my two other friends were not lucky enough,
so ended up they went to LABOUM or CLC.
The gathering time for recording was 2pm.
(If I remember correctly.)
We took subway to go Ilsan and reached 30 minutes later,
and JTBC was kind enough to provide a shuttle bus for us to go to the recording place from the subway station~
Around 2pm,
we all lined up with our respective fan club.
The fan manager checked each person's identity card or passport,
and saw two new faces in the line,
so she tested them by asking them to tell the names of all SONAMOO members.
They said they only know Minjae............
Hmmm............
Anyway the fan manager still allowed them to enter with us after warning them.
We waited until 3pm only entered the recording studio.
Before entering,
we all received a contract paper to sign and pass up,
to agree that we will not expose any details of the show to the public~
We entered the studio,
it was quite spacious and cozy~
Those who were picked from SMS random drawing were arranged to sit in front,
where the long chairs didn't have the back,
but the good thing was they can vote.
As for us who followed the official fan club,
we were arranged to sit at behind,
the chairs were nicer by having the back and soft cushion,
but we were quite far away from the stage..........
I remembered that my luck was good,
my seat was exactly at the center, facing the center of the stage~
After everyone settled down,
a Gag man came out to warm up the atmosphere for 15 minutes.
Then, a little pass 4pm,
the 5 judges, 2 MCs and 6 competitors came onto the stage,
to be readied for recording.
Why only 6 competitiors??
There were total 12 competitors and divivded into Group A and B equally,
so when Group A is competing, all 6 competitors from Group A will just stay at the waiting room to get ready,
while the 6 competitors will come out and sit at the corner of the stage to watch the competition~
Finally,
the recording officially started~
First was opening talk between MCs and judges,
usually when we watched from TV,
the opening talk lasted for 10 to 15 minutes only,
but GUESS WHAT??
They actually talked for almost an hour!!!
Most of it were edited out in the actual broadcast!!!
We were all bored and tired of listening to such a long talk...........
Only the two new girls that followed us to enter who couldn't even tell the name of SONAMOO members, they were so excited to see Sungkyu,
whatever Sungkyu did also responded with very big reaction.
Obviously,
the girls were INFINITE fans..........
The worse thing was,
later when the competitors actually singing,
the two girls gave no reaction at all,
like a stone, not even a smile on the face,
so they ended up scolded by camera man~
I know you wanted to come to see your oppa,
but only 10 fan seats were provided for us,
totally not enough already,
please don't steal our seats..........
Anyway,
the opening talk lasted until 5pm........
Then the flow of recording was like this:
1) The singer came out to sing (5 mins)
2) Judges commenting (15 mins)
3) Change stage (1 min)
4) Another singer came out to sing
6 singers, so the recording ended at 7pm~
At that time, Minjae sang this song:
She received the highest mark in the group~~~
7pm to 7.15pm was resting time,
we were provided with a bottle of mineral water and a bun.
At 7.15pm,
everyone re-entered the studio,
to get ready to record for next episode which another group will be singing.
Yeah right.......
We recorded two episodes in one day~
Before recording,
another Gag man came out to warm up the atmosphere.
This time,
he chose a few single guys and girls came up to the stage to play games.
At last,
only one guy and one girl left.
The guy was asked to kneel down with one knee to get the contact of the girl,
in front of so many people~
Then he ended up being rejected by the girl,
so sad...................
Then, recording started again with the boring opening talk.
I think JTBC realized that they don't need to waste so much time for opening talk,
so it ended within 30 minutes,
and moved on.
This time since Minjae's group not singing,
so 6 of them sat at the corner of the stage to watch the competition.
Of course,
we grabbed the chance and interacted with Minjae~
showing heart to each other, knock our shoulders and said we are tired and some other interactions~
Anyway,
when there is someone singing on the stage,
we will concentrate on the singing,
only when the judges started commenting,
we will have some small interactions~
Until around 10pm,
the recording finally ended.
We walked out from the recording place,
and felt like we just came out from the jail......
I met up with friends and together sat the bus provided by JTBC to the subway station,
and took subway to go back.
A happy but suffering day finally ended~
However,
we couldn't just relax and rest for one whole day,
because there is SBS The Show next day~
Everyday also got something going on,
SONAMOO fans were so busy LOL
