Special SBS Inkigayo For Celebration of Over 10 Million Foreign Tourists

2012/11/25 - It was just like dream came true. I have always wanted to go to this famous TV Music Program in Korea. Inkigayo is a South Korean music program that is broadcasted by SBS. It shows the performance of latest and popular artist. The one that I attended was a special program to celebrate over 10 million foreigner tourists. The show was aired live from 2 places, the one that I attended which is SBS Prism Tower and Gwanghwamun. 
There were actually many artists that came and sang at the program, some of them are Sistar, Secret, Teen Top, CN Blue, Infinite, KARA, Son Dam Bi, Kim Jong Guk,G.Na, B1A4, etc. But since it was held on two different place, so the performers also divided into two. Some of them performed at Gwanghwamun, including Sistar T.T. Some of them even did the pre-recording which means it was not really "live", but some of them was still there even they did the pre-recording I think to satisfy the fans. I guess they had to do it because they had to organize and decorate the stage. And we can't take picture during the show, so sorry there is no proof lol.
Overall it was pretty entertaining and I was so happy that I finally get to watch inkigayo from its studio and I was also captured by camera and a friend of mine took a screenshot from her TV and sent it to me! Thanks again KTO, I am so glad that I became a member of K-performance supporter and get to see events like this. Congratulations for Korea for the great achievement!

Me: second row gray shirt lol

A Walk With Hallyu Stars

Not really ... they actually promised an event where we can walk around with invited hallyu stars, but no, it was just only the beginning and the next event was actually walk by your self, or your friends if you came with you friends. It was a total disappointment, but hey, look at the bright side! A free concert ... yayyyyy!!
I can't thank KTO enough for this. I loved the concert since I could see it really near (I was at the front row!). Alright, first thing first. I got this invitation and I went with several Indonesian friends from my university and then later I met some cool friends from Indonesia who study in Suwon. We did the walk with friends thing together and kept complaining about how we can't walk with hallyu stars but everything changed once the concert started. I actually sat on the right side but I decided to sit at the front row! and I could watch the concert really close and of couse I got many great pictures.
The concert was open by performances from some kind of martial arts. Then the crowd started to scream when Infinite came out and sang several of their songs. For guys, there were the sexiest Sistar came and it really heated up the atmosphere. There was not as exciting as the others when Nine Muses came out, I guess they are not really well known by foreigners. The crowd started to scream again when ZE:A entered the stage. And the concert was closed by the cute little kid who were on the Gangnam Style MV.
Overall, despite the cold weather, a very far place, and a disappointed feeling because we did not really walk with them, it was so much fun to see their concert from a very very close distance. Thanks KTO!

Jump in Korea

Several days ago, I went to Seoul to watch a very famous comic martial arts performance called Jump!. I went with a Mongolian friend and we were really expecting a good show from this performance since we heard a lot about this. As the genre says that this is about martial arts, therefore they were showing some fighting scenes and martial arts demonstrations. They are focusing on Taekwondo and Taekkyon.
There is one big family consisted of a grandfather, father, mother, uncle, and a daughter. Grandfather is the most powerful in the family, mother can do Taekwondo, the daughter is pretty, and uncle is a drunken master. Also, there is one guy character who wears a pair of glasses in which if the glasses is taken off from him, he became a really strong person. There are also two robber that come to the house and this is where they fight.
There is this one unrelated character which is a really old man that even barely walk. If you have ever seen the movie Ice Age, there is this one cute character that always chases apricot, I think this old guy character is kind of copying the Ice Age character. The show lasts about 1 hour 20 minutes and I think the most interesting scene is when they have to fight in the dark.
The place is big and it has a lot of chairs. It is located near Jongno 3 Ga Station. I really recommend this performance, especially for girls who want to see some muscles ^^.
