18th May 2019 (Saturday)
This time I would like to talk about the memory of the photo below:
After LABOUM ended their "Turn It On" promotion,
I had been waiting, waiting and waiting...........................
What did I wait for?
Well,
I was waiting for notice from Makestar regarding the LABOUM events~~~
So I just kept on waiting.............
I waited until the flower blooming at Korea were all gone...............
I waited until LABOUM finished their Japan promotion.....................
Finally I received the notice letter from Makestar~~~
First was the Special Fan Meeting which held at 3pm on that day,
basically it was just tea time+fansign+photo time.
I arrived the venue at around 2.30pm:
I reported to the registration staff and randomly drew my seat number:
The teat time will be held at the upper floor,
so we went up to look for our seat.
There were around 26 fans joining,
and LABOUM company was clever enough to arrange 5 tables totally,
so that each table will have 5-6 fans with 1 member,
a very fair and reasonable arrangement,
not like the weird company.......~~
I found my no.19 seat and woohoo~~~~~
The chair at the left side of me didn't have any number attached to it,
which meant that later the member will be sitting at the left of me~~~~~~~~~
Lucky~~~~~~
For my table,
there were totally 6 fans including me.
Amazingly only 2 fans from Korea,
one from US, one from Japan, one from Thailand,
and me who from Malaysia,
just one table but having people from 5 different countries~~~
Our seats were all randomly drew though,
this was like a miracle~~~
At 3pm,
LABOUM members came and stood at the front to do a short opening speech.
Then,
each member chose one table.
Solbin came to my table~~~
Again LOL
Since the previous two Makestar events Solbin also same table with me~
(Please refer to chapter8 and chapter10~)
Well~
Basically this time there will be 4 rotations,
which meant every member will come to my table one time,
very fair~~~
However,
this also meant that the time for each member at the table will be greatly reduced,
basically a member only sat down for 10 minutes then switched to another table,
so we only talked for a few sentences only...........
Solbin sat down at the left side of me,
and asked us to do self-introduction.
I was the last one so I said since we met so many times,
so Solbin should knows which country I from~
Ended up Solbin forgotten about it................
Luckily Solbin still remembers my name,
well,
I forgive you then~
Solbin also praised that my facial skin looked better,
LOL 1st time in my life being praised of my facial skin~~~
Solbin also asked us about which concept we are looking forward for LABOUM next comeback.
Of course,
every time Solbin asked question,
the US fan, Japan fan and Thailand fan didn't really understand,
so I always helped to translate to English and Japanese language.
Well yeah,
I suddenly became LABOUM's special translator~~~
After 10 minutes,
Solbin switched to another table and Soyeon came to sit down~
Soyeon also asked about the next concept which we are looking forward,
seems like the members discussed beforehand about what questions they want to ask during tea time~
I remember that I told Soyeon that I will not try to guess what is their next concept,
since I like all their songs from debut until now,
so I have confident at them~
Soyeon was happy to hear that~
Then I asked is there any plan to release Korean version of "Bow Wow",
Soyeon said that since they already gotten used to the mature concept like "Turn It On",
so they felt quite awkward while performing "Bow Wow"~~~
The next member was Yujeong~~~
Yujeong first question also about our country,
and she didn't know which country I from~~~
I went to so many fansign,
and wrote so many letters to Yujeong at fan cafe though..............T_T
At least Yujeong still remembers my name,
and she said that she read all my fan cafe letters~
Alright,
I forgive you~~~
Next was Haein~~~
At first everyone talked about the drama which Haein acted,
since I didn't watch so I just quietly sitting there~~~
Then Haein also asked about which country we are from,
and she forgotten about my country,
so I let her guess,
luckily she managed to guess correctly at her 3rd try~~~
Lastly,
ZN came.
Ended up ZN was same like other members,
also forgotten which country I from,
I even told her a few times during "Between Us" fansign events......................
ZN was sorry and patted my shoulder LOL
The whole Tea Time lasted for 50 minutes,
the most common question asked was "which country are you from?".
Also,
when I first started to help the members to translate into English and Japanese language,
they will ask how many language I know,
they all shocked and said that I am genius when I said 5 languages.
Actually...........
When Haein was sitting next to me,
I already felt tired of translating,
but whenever Haein realized that the international fans didn't understand what she said,
she was turned to look at me with her round and big eyes which asking for help,
no guy will reject her~~~~
After Tea Time,
then is the fansign time~
We went up for signatures according to our seat number,
this fansign wasn't like the normal fansign events that I attended at Korea,
the pace is much more faster so we couldn't talk much.
I remember the members thanked me since I helped to translate~~~
The signatures paper:
Solbin was the 1st member to sign and she wrote down my name without the need to ask me,
seems like my effort of attending many fansign events during "Between Us" promotion was worth it~~~
After fansign,
the members took turn to say a few words,
and let us take pictures:
Finally,
we went out one by one to take a group picture with the members.
When it was my turn,
Solbin and Soyeon were standing at the middle.
So I carefully told Solbin:"Solbin ah.... mian handae.... jom budam serowoso bbakuodo tuei yo?"
(Solbin ah.... I am sorry but.... I felt a bit burden to stand beside me, can you please change place?)
Then,
I lifted up my hand to show the difference of height between me and Solbin,
everyone laughed and Solbin exchanged place with Yujeong:
After that,
we all left the place,
and LABOUM members continued staying at there to wait for the After Event.
It was around 4pm,
the After Event will only start at 5.30pm,
so we all gathered outside of the place and didn't know what to do.
We planned to find a cafe to spend some times,
but we walked to the corner of the street and looked around,
we saw no cafe.............
Well,
we had no choice but to go back to the Tea Time place,
bought drinks and sat down at the ground floor.
The staffs were nice and said that we can just stay at the place without ordering any drinks ~~~
We insisted to~~~
Thus,
we fans were at the ground floor chit-chatting and drinking,
while LABOUM members were at the upper floor resting(?).
Until around 5pm,
we were asked to leave the place since they need to prepare the ground floor for the After Event.
The After Event is actually meal time with LABOUM~~~
Until almost 5.30pm,
we entered the place again.
This time my seat number was:
My table is square-shaped with 4 chairs,
two chairs at each side.
The Thailand fan sat at the left of me,
and a Korean fan sat right in front of me.
The Korean fan is actually the same person who sat beside at previous Makestar event,
what a fate LOL
Thus,
the LABOUM member will sit adjacent of me,
and since there will be no rotation,
so the same member will eat with you until the end~
There were totally 13 fans joining the After Event.
LABOUM company was clever enough to arrange 5 tables,
each table assigning 1 member with 2-3 fans,
a very fair arrangement,
not like a weird company.....................~~
After we settled down,
LABOUM members walked down the staircases,
and randomly drew number to decide which table they will be going!!
My table was full of Haein fan or Yujeong fan though~~~
Guess what??
The member who picked our table is..............
..............
...........
Soyeon~~~
The saddest thing for me is..............
Haein picked the table right behind of me,
and she was just sitting right behind of me only~~~~
The further distance in this world is...........
the two persons sitting so near,
but they are not facing each other.....................
Anyway,
we should enjoy it so I cheered up myself and became Soyeon's translator~~~
First we were served with appetizer salad and cheese fries,
both were super delicious~~~
As for the main menu,
I chose cheese pasta,
which was the most delicious out of so many meals I had in Makestar events.
(I totally went to 7 meal times~~~)
For the next 1 hour,
we just enjoyed the delicious meal and talked.
I remember that we continued to talk about where do I from,
since I didn't tell Soyeon just now during Tea Time.
When talking about that all LABOUM members also couldn't remember where I from,
Soyeon asked:"Manni sounhae yo?"
(Do you feel sad?)
"Jo~~~~~geum~"(A~~~~~~~~~~~bit~)
I said.
We also talked about food,
by my evil suggestion,
Soyeon suggested the Thailand fan to go to her home town to eat food LOL
We also talked about Masked Singer,
only to find out that Soyeon only had 6 days to prepare,
1st round, 2nd round and final totally 3 songs in 6 days,
not easy at all!
The song that Soyeon prepared for final is “여전히 아름다운지”,
sadly that we didn't have chance to listen to it......
We also talked about the "First Love" song which they covered together with Kobasolo from Japan~
After the meal time,
the members gathered at the small stage in front and sang "The Light" to us,
the atmosphere was quite touching~~~
Then it was the photo time:
Next is selfie time!
We are asked to choose only one member to take selfie with us~~~
My number is no.7 out of 13 fans,
so I was exactly the middle~
I realized that out of the 6 fans in front of me,
none of them asked to take selfie with Solbin and Yujeong.
Since the Korean fan sitting opposite of me is Yujeong's fan,
so Yujeong will at least has 1 fan to take selfie with.
Thus,
I chose Solbin~~~
I remember that Solbin was surprised when I asked to selfie with her,
I explained that since I asked her to change place during group photo just now,
so now I felt like I should selfie with her instead~
So,
we took a selfie together:
Then,
the members took turn to say a few words and the After Event came to an end.
After the members left the place,
we fans also left.
I had a drink with the US fan then only went back to guesthouse.
Next day afternoon,
I took flight and went back to Malaysia with this beautiful memories with LABOUM.
I wonder when is the next time I will see LABOUM again?
