Kim Hyun Joong-MK finale

Ok, Ill skip the boring details like what time I got the train and what I ate and go straight to the fanmeeting. I will say God was with me and got me there safely with no inconveniences. When I finally found the DOM Art center-there were two ticket lines-one for Koreans and one for foreigners. I was nervous because the first email I got from Keyeast said that after I transfer the payment they would send a second email with confirmation and final details-but no second email. I was somewhat relieved after talking to others in line and found out they didn’t get a second email either. I was also nervous because I was the very last person in line. As I was waiting, I saw a short man wearing jeans, red t-shirt, white jacket and white hat walk by and immediately recognized him as the man who played KHJ’s father-but no one else noticed him. I finally got my ticket and got to my seat 10 minutes before the show started. Also while waiting, a Korean girl that I met went to the KHJ perfect booth and got me a gift set. It was a box with his picture on the outside, an electric candle, rice cake with his name stamped on it, bottle of water and cell phone cleaner. Once inside I found my seat-section 2 seat 139 (10 rows from the stage-slightly to the left of center stage.) The show started with the indy band from the show singing the theme song-then a female MC came out dressed in their high school uniform. She said some things in Korean then said hana, dul, set KIM HYUN JOONG!! He came up out of the stage singing “One More Time”. He looked really sharp dressed in a black suit but it was obvious that he was exhausted-he had really big bags under his eyes and he looked too thin. After he sung, him and the MC chatted a little then they brought some of the cast on-Im sorry I don’t know their real names but their characters were: BSJ’s father, EunJo, Oh HaNi’s 2 friends, Bong JoonGu (he was so hot—I was surprised!), and Oh HaNi!! They talked a while-from what I could tell they talked about what it was like working with KHJ. Then they brought out a cake to celebrate the finale of the show. Then they had a question/comment session with KHJ. They brought out a big box with questions/ comments from fans. He chose four to discuss then chose the fan he liked the best for a gift. One girl wrote that because of him, she lost 30 kg. This really touched him and he chose her. She got a signed white jogging suit, tennis shoes and a hug from him (so jealous!!! Must work harder to lose weight!! FIGHTING!!!!) Then he sung “Please be Nice To Me” I was a little disappointed because he didn’t take off his shirt-but he did walk in front of my section and lift his shirt to give us a sneak peek!!! After that the band did another song and then they had a 20 minute intermission. When the intermission finished we watched the MK finale-I’m so sad it’s over but like the way it ended! Then he came on stage again singing “Gomapta”. During the song they showed a photo slide show of him throughout the filming-mostly shots of him yawning and trying to find somewhere to sleep or eat really fast. Then it was over!!
