Sorry I'm detail oriented so this is VERY detailed.
Kat and I arrive in Seoul. We drop our bags off at the hotel, refresh our make up and hair and then head to the venue where the fan meeting is held. We arrive around 4 and since we hadn’t had anything to eat since before 12, we go searching for things to eat. We find a street vendor selling kimbap so we eat something then head back.
We go to the foreigner’s line to inquire where we get the signed calendars as compensation for the fan meeting that was postponed and learned that they are really for overseas residents, but one lady was so kind that she said to give us the calendar anyway. THANK YOU!!!
Then we just hang around waiting for the time to line up. As we were waiting we were given free gifts and were video taped for a special message for SS501’s 6th anniversary this summer.
They then had us line up to get into the building. Once we got into the SMALL lobby we checked out the merchandise they were selling. I bought some things at one table and then Katrina went to another table to get what they were selling. When we finished we met back up and then one of my students found me. I was so jealous of JiHye because she was in the second row CENTER STAGE and we were ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK of the room. I tried getting her to switch seats with us, even threatened to change her grade to an F, but she wouldn’t budge.Grrr
Soon they opened the doors for us to go in. We found our seats and I went back out to get a necklace that I realized wasn’t in the package I bought, but wanted. While I was out there I saw various people that I've talked to on Facebook or Twitter. They and others enjoyed the special t-shirt I was wearing that Kat had made for me that says “Oh my goodness, oh my soul I love Park JungMin” with Min’s picture right in the middle of it. I gave a letter/prayer that I wrote to Min to one of the staff members. Before the fan meeting started Kat and I prayed for Min and that the fan meeting would be a success.
Kat was very impressed and proud of me that I was a social butterfly and had the courage to talk to people that I've only talked with on Facebook and Twitter. It was so nice to meet other Triple S members and put a face with the people I chat with frequently.
Soon the lights dim and the fan meeting starts with the title track from his first solo album Not Alone. After the song ends, a girl from England comes up to us and says, “you have horrible seats. There are two empty seats next to me.” So we follow her to the 3rd row from the stage on the right. ASSA!!!
Min sings a few more songs then sings the song of his that I sing at the karaoke room. It’s a duet usually with a girl. We had already learned that there was going to be a surprise guest and I can tell that the guest was coming on soon because Min had a HUGE smile on his face. Sure enough when it gets to the girls part the special guest starts singing but it confuses us all because it’s not a girl singing but a guy. The special guest was none other than SS501 Kim HyungJun. So technically I have "seen" all 5 of the guys, but have only recognized 4 of the 5 when seeing them. During the interview session the fans start chanting “보바해 보바해” “kiss, kiss". I guess the MC and Min thought it was for them because they were like “NO” but then he realized it was for him and HyungJun so he said something to HyungJun and then stood there cutely as if to say okay HyungJun do what the fans want I’m waiting. HyungJun dances around Min trying to get up the courage...don't know why they've done like this many times before...and then quickly gives him a kiss on the cheek which Min was totally not ready for and surprised that he actually did it and HyungJun runs off the stage giggling like a girl. They also had some cute Tom & Jerry moments. It was so nice to see, since Min has appeared depressed for a while. The real Min and Sexy Charisma was back and had all our hearts racing. Oooo la la
There were a few malfunctions in the fan meeting. Apparently at the beginning Kat thought she noticed that he had a zipper malfunction, which is of course one of the things he is notorious for doing. Then later he made a mistake in a song he’s performed many times before. The song was “Love Ya” which is a SS501 song. I’m not sure he sang though. If he did it was only his parts. He did dance it though. However, it appears that he forgot how the dance goes at the end because I noticed he messed up and bent over laughing so either he forgot the steps or he forgot the lyrics. It was funny. Another SS501 song he did was “Green Peas” and during the song we through green papered airplanes onto the stage.
At one point during the fan meeting it got silent and I chose to do a cat call (imagine the cartoons where the male whistles at a HOT woman) at that moment. To which the entire audience laughed and Min looked over at the section I was sitting in and smiled big. Later Katrina and I yelled “I LOVE YOU” and again he looked over at us and smiled big. When the fan meeting came to a close I started chanting “사랑해사랑해” (I love you) and I got him to smile again.
We encored him to come out again and he finished with Not Alone again. After the fan meeting we were directed to go outside. My student found me and we got a picture together. After the picture I noticed she was tearing up and that made me cry. She was really a great student.
Katrina and I then waited outside for OVER AN HOUR for Min to come out. The crew kept teasing us by opening the doors to load things in the van and even moved the van twice. After some time some of the crew gave out hand warmers but not enough. When the boy was FINALLY ready to come out they made us move…for some unknown reason because we would not have been in the way or ANYWHERE close to touch him like I’ve been twice. He waved at us when he got into the van and then started saying Good-bye to us over the PA in all the languages he knew. So cute.
After wards we went to Jaksal to eat. Max wasn’t working, but that was okay because that forced MinSu to talk to us in English. After a late, late dinner we went back to the hotel and stumbled into bed around 2am. We were going to go try to see Inkigayo which Min would be in at 10am, but we’d have to get up at 5am to catch a subway and then wait in a line hoping and praying that our numbers would get called. Since we didn't sleep much Friday or Saturday night, when the alarm went off we decided just to stay and sleep then check out of the hotel and go home around 12.
