리더씨, 진짜 수고했습니다~ ㅠ-ㅠ

I've just come across this fan a/c on soompi posted by someone who goes by the display name of "bbwakiyama"

" I was there with my two Japanese friends. We planed to get lots of pictures of the boys so we can share with Japan TS. We were staying at the same hotel of the event. We arrived and checked in the hotel 5 hours ahead of time, and then we made a stupid decision to go out for lunch and for touring the city. The traffic was SO bad that we got back only half an hour before the event. It was choas at the waiting lines of about 300 meters long,..yeap, I'm not kidding. We were not able to buy the CD, or get into the hall.

After the event ended, we went into the hotel and tried to get to the boys from the other side of the meeting room. After getting ourselves lost, and chased by the securities all over that giant hotel several rounds. We were able to see SS501. YES! after all the madness and disappointments, we saw them in the hallway, walking toward another room. This is my third times seeing the boys in person, yet I still amazed at how GOOD LOOKING they are. Leader is just drop-dead GORGEOUS, KuyJoong is very, very HANDSOME, YoundSaeng is as CUTE as a button, Baby and JM are just TOO ADORABLE to describe. We were stoped by bodyguard and hotel securities, they even tried to take away our cameras.

Right at when we tried to get the boys' attentions, and negotiated with the securities, something HEARTBROKEN was happened right before our eyes; LEADER ALMOST FAINTED. He
lost his balance and leaned for the wall. YoungSaeng who walked behind him jumped forward and held leader to prevent him from falling into the floor. His manager even tried to flash water onto HJ's face. Everybody was panic and rushed over Leader. We could still see his head, so I believed that he didn't really lost his consciousness. The whole group moved into the room right after that. We stood at the end of the hallway for hour to wait for them anxiously, but then got chased away by the hotel security. My friend cried her eyes out, she's a big fan of Leader since 2005. One of the event coordinator was nice enough to inform us that everything is ok with Leader, he just need to rest, but then she also said that they still have interviews with the press.. I feel so sorry for the boys, especially Leader. They all looked so tired. Their schedule is ridiculously packed. We didn't get to take any decent picture to share with you all. Our plan didn't come out as good as we thought. Still, we were happy to see the boys, but also feel horrible at the same time because of Leader's incident. I hope they will get enough rest.

To all Malaysian - Your country is so beautiful, I will sure be back for site seeing and vacation."

Oh my, Leader-sshi, please take care of yourself~ Thank you so much for stopping by Malaysia. We wish you all the best and successes after successes~!
Double S, 화이팅이요~!

Aftermath(s)


The fansigning event was not all peachy~
The Double S guys had to leave early to catch a flight and not every fan managed to get a signature. They even closed the doors with fans still waiting outside!
YL and I were fortunate enough to have gotten in! *thanks God*

And I found some fan accounts of the event.

I really feel they should get more media exposure. I think Warner Music only went to the Chinese press. Even their FB page is in Chinese. What lah.
There are so many fans who can't read Chinese. Mostly bananas like myself.
Go lah to TV3 ke, 8tv ker. Ish.
Hopefully they'd learn their lesson and make proper modifications to whatever schedules/plans they have or are going to have.

--- Edit

Pictures taken by fans!

They all very power wei! XD

The Autographed

Feel so much better after the shower~ Ahhh~ ^---^

There were actually two versions of the album.
- Solo (with their solo tracks)
- Group (with tracks sung as a group)

In my haste I purchased the group album and I'm kind of regretting it... ><;;
But, still worth it! Hougormou.. ㅎㅎㅎ~!
The pack came like this with a free SS501 card pouch:


IN the package, we had these:


In the album:


And finally the autographed album by Leader 김현중!
(Leader so pandai, signing on his picture right in the centre. ^^~ 짱~!)


But then.. There are some things I do kind of regret. No, not regret, just some things I don't feel quite nice about.

I wish I could've got signatures from all 5 of them~ I was really going to the event solely for Hyun Joong but I can't help but feel a tad pitiful for the rest of the boys.
Almost everyone was going for Hyun Joong's line in the centre, and SS401's queues looked quite empty in comparison. Pretty sad actually~
Jung Min was even scribbling on the table cloth cos he was so free! LOL!

It would've been nice if Double S had performed~ Even one song would be nice :)

And I wish I had taken more pictures even though the bouncers kept screaming "NO PICTURES! NO CAMERAS! I SEE ONE MORE CAMERA I WILL CLOSE THIS LINE".
Man, HORROR!

Also, the host (some guy whom I've never seen before. He was holding a mike with the MyFM logo on it, so I assume he's one of the DJs..?) could've said something other than the following:
  1. "Malaysia, shall we make some noise~~~"
  2. "Can we hear you say 안녕하세요~?"
  3. "Okay, Malaysia, when I count to three, can you say 사랑해요~~?"
  4. "Double S will only sign on your album cover"
His product knowledge is so terrible!
He could've easily learnt some other simple Korean phrases lah, dei..
Or, said something else!
Seriously, I heard the above sentences (?) for over 10 times okay~~~!

And I wish I had prepared something for the guys to bring back! Some fan presents~
ㅋㅋㅋ~!
I was literally going there with dua sikat pisang.
Sad case. ><;;

Finally, these guys are really goodlooking in real life lo. What we see on screen is nothing to compare. They are really really goodlooking. Small wonder they are where they are today.
Seriously, you have to see to believe~!
Standing a few feet away from them, I got quite a good view of them.
너무 잘생겼어요~! 진짜로~!

Goodlooking is an understatement!

This is the first time ever I've been to a fansigning event. Honestly, I've never expected such a large crowd to go for Double S'...What with the not-so-good experiences Malaysian fans have had with F.T. Island, Paran...
And anyone else..?

Okay, spazz time. Kim Hyun Joong is so so so so so so so so so so GOODLOOKING. Wait, goodlooking is an understatement. He is definitely drop dead handsome~
Ahhh~ *spazzes again*

I never knew my heart could stop beating at the sight of another human being.
Never ever~ Upclose, his face was just 10 inches away from mine~
캬아아아아아아아아아아~~~!

Before that, I was rehearsing mentally what to do/say to him when it was my turn..
But when it was my turn to go~~~
I ALMOST TRIPPED IN FRONT OF THE DOUBLE S GUYS AND THE FANS AND THE REST OF THE PEOPLES!
The highlight: Hyun Joong was right in front of me!
Urgh, thank God I regained my balance just in time to hand him my album~!

One thing, the venue was so small~~~!
Look at this measly picture I managed to take~
(Look at him on the poster! *spazzes again*)


Back to where I was about to get HIS autograph..
My mind went *kapoof* blank when I set my eyes on him... As soon as I spotted him I couldn't take my eyes off! He was THAT magnetising, YESH!
All that mental rehearsing was useless~!
All I could blurt out was just:-

저는 쌍추커플 팬에요~

Then my mind blanked out on me again because Hyun Joong looked up and SMILED~~~!!! (캬아아아아아아아아아아아아~~~!!!!!)

And what I could remember to say next was:

많이 노력했어요~

I had this feeling my Korean grammar was wrong cos he looked up and gave a weird look~ (><;;)
Haha!

Then I finished it off with:

DOUBLE S ~~ 화이팅~!

LOL! So lame wei~~~ How much lamer can I get~ Hahahahahahahahah!
창피해~ 너무~!

Anyways, there were many many many many people!


Everyone was pushing and shoving, and some -- swearing --- when she sendiri mau push push when we were about to enter the hotel~



*tsk tsk tsk*
Kurang ajar betul~!

Ish, takpe lah.. nothing can spoil my mood now, babettes!
I got an upclose look at his beautiful countenance~
HE SMILED~ He smiled that smile that has the power to make anyone go
캬아아아아아아아아아아아아아~~~!
I got to shake his hand! And he offered it first~
Oh~! And I got to use the smattering Korean that I know~
Hahaha~!

I cannot spazz enough. He is just THAT HANDSOME lo.
Serious, no one can compare~!
*sighs~
I'm satisfied~ Satisfied..
Never thought I could meet a Korean guy group that I've been spazzing over for many many days/minutes/seconds in my lil humble cave..
OMG! I went for the SS501 fansigning event!
Such an experience~!

And here is a very blurry picture I managed to grab of Kyu Jong~~ yes, that's Kyu Jong but I couldn't keep my hand steady cos people from behind were pushing like mad!
From where I was standing Kyu Jong looked like he was having an eye condition...
His left eye looked a bit swollen and red~


Will upload pics of THE AUTOGRAPHED ALBUM later after my shower~~~ ><;;
I can feel the mixed urea on my skin...
XP
