Netflix Seoul Vibe Garage Party

Entertainment August 25, 2022

Netflix Seoul Vibe Garage Party was the first ever Netflix offline event that I have attended. Since this is my first time, I'll be sharing to you my experience.

An Introvert Fangirl attending a Party

When they said that it's a garage party, it's really a party with food, drinks, and music. The cool thing here is that they really made the place look like a garage in the 80s. And yes, it really looks like the one in the movie.

As an introvert, attending parties is not really my thing. But good thing, I met some known faces in the K-media world so the whole event felt a little bit better. Also, I am so thankful for Mikay for always pushing me to do things that I don't usually do like taking photos of myself during the event, vlogging, or just being a little bit extroverted.

Since I am used to with attending press conferences, or some other media related events, I was expecting for a longer program. But I guess this event was really a party.

At first, they showed some trailers on the screen regarding their upcoming movie, Seoul Vibe. After that they also showed a short preview of the Tagalog dubbed of the movie which I find it quite interesting. That's why I'm so excited to watch the movie. After that, there were people who danced to KPOP songs. And lastly, a DJ played some KPOP mixes. I was thrilled when I hear familiar songs on the mixes especially when Girls' Generation's Gee was played. As a second generation fan, it's definitely one of the songs that I really love.

But what I loved the most during the event was there were a lot of photographers there wherein you can ask them to take a photo of you at the place and have it printed for free.

Like what I have mentioned earlier, there were also food and drinks. The food were mainly Korean food. In fact, Mikay and I were actually craving for Korean food. So, the food there satisfied our cravings.

There were a lot of influencers and TikTok personalities there. To be honest, I felt really shy when I saw them because they really look so confident with what they're doing. Meanwhile me, I'm so shy to even just take a photo with the Netflix logo. I guess I still need to improve myself regarding this.

We went home at around 8:30PM. There was a Netflix package given per outlet. But I managed to see what's inside the package. Check out my unboxing here:

Overall, it was a nice and cool event. It's just that my introvert self needs to go home early. Thank you Netflix and Mikay for this experience.

Seoul Vibe

It is about a group of drivers from Sanggye Supreme Team who received an offer to be part of a VIP slush fund investigation.

I'll be writing my movie review here on my blog once I have watched the film.

How to Buy Concert Tickets in Thai Ticket Major

Entertainment August 16, 2022

Have you wished to go abroad and watch your favorite group's concert there? If South Korea seems to be a little hard to go to because of the visas and other documents, another option that you can think of is our fellow South East Asian countries.

Personally, I have experienced watching concerts and fanmeets abroad - specifically in South Korea and Malaysia. I can say that it is really a great experience to watch abroad too. It may not be as loud in the Philippines but you can really see the cultural differences.

This coming October, I'm going to Thailand to watch Seventeen's Be The Sun in Bangkok. This will be my first time going to Thailand. That's why I'm so excited! Since this will be my first time in Thailand, this is also my first time buying tickets there. So, to help my fellow fangirls and fanboys who plan to watch in Thailand soon, I created this tutorial on how to buy from Thai Ticket Major.

Buying Concert Tickets in Thai Ticket Major

Go to Thai Ticket Major's website and create an account

Just type www.thaiticketmajor.com on your browser and enter the site. If you don't have an account yet, create an account by putting your email and password. Make sure that EN is written on the upper right part of the site so that it is in English.

Search for the event that you want to watch

In my case, I searched for Seventeen's Be The Sun in Bangkok since that is the event that I planned to watch. Just click the Buy Now button if you're ready to buy.

Choose your preferred seat

This is how the seat plan of Seventeen's Be The Sun in Bangkok looks like. In the Show Round, it is the dates of the concert. Just pick if you're watching from Day 1 or Day 2. When you click the Seats Available, you will also see how many tickets are still available and on what section. You can also click the figure to check the available seats.

When you clicked your preferred section, it's time to choose your seats. The ones with number are the available seats while the stop sign has already been taken. Once you have chosen, click Book Now.

Type the name that will be printed on the ticket

Here in the Philippines, we don't put our names on the ticket that's why it would be easier to resell it. In Korea and Malaysia, there are also names written on the ticket but they are not that strict when it comes to entering. I'm not quite sure with Thailand. I'll have to see once I got there.

Proceed to payment

Since I bought it online, e-ticket is my option. There is also a service charge of 134 baht and Ticket Protect of 266 baht. Ticket protect is basically when something unfortunate happened and you can't attend the event, they can refund you the ticket.

For the payment method, I used credit card since I don't know if my debit will be accepted. After that, just input your payment details and wait for the confirmation.

You will see a Congratulations page. Meaning you have successfully bought your ticket.

Emails that you should receive

Once your order is confirmed, you will receive three emails - the purchase confirmation, your e-ticket, and the vaccination registration link. With the vaccination registration link, you will need to upload your vaccination certificate and wait for it to be approved. Remember, only fully vaccinated people can watch the concert. Once approved, you're all set.

Video Instruction

I have also created a video tutorial on how to buy tickets in Thailand. So if you prefer to watch, then feel free to do so.

I hope this tutorial helped you in buying tickets in Thailand.

A Fangirl's Diary: SS9 in Manila Postponed

Lifestyle August 09, 2022

Being a fan of K-Pop for more than 10 years, I thought I have experienced every heartbreak already. But I guess, as I continue to walk on this path, there are still a lot of heartbreaks that I will experience.

August 6, 2022 was supposed to be a happy day for Super Junior and PH ELFs because after almost two years Super Junior will be having their concert again here in the Philippines. But there were a lot of unfortunate things that happened a few days, or even a few hours before the concert.

Siwon tested positive for COVID

Last August 3, 2022, SJ Label posted a notice saying that Siwon tested positive for COVID which means he won't be able to join the group on the Manila leg of the Super Show 9. Although Siwon isn't my bias, I'm still sad because I won't be able to see him. I love all the members of Super Junior that's why I want to see all of them.

A lot of ELFs, especially Siwon-biased, felt sad with the news. But all wished for Siwon's fast recovery.

Eunhyuk's father passed away

ELFs were actually concerned when the airport previews where released because Eunhyuk was not in the photos. The faces of the members looked really sad and bothered. No one knew what happened yet. A few hours after they have arrived in the Philippines, SJ Label finally posted another notice. And this time, it's about the sad news about Eunhyuk's father.

This was the announcement that I saw the moment I woke up. My heart sank. I can't explain my feelings. I want them to postpone the concert but at the same time I know it isn't that easy since they have to deal with a lot of things here. Also, the members are already in Manila.

Even though I don't know if the concert will push through, I still went to Manila. And yes, with a heavy heart.

Postponement of the concert

A few minutes after I have arrived in Manila, SJ Label posted another notice saying that it would be difficult to continue the concert as scheduled. I was lowkey expecting this to happen. But what made me want to cry was the third paragraph.

"However, the members wanted to meet and greet the fans who came to MANILA to attend the concert, so we'd like to ask everyone with tickets to enter the concert venue on time."

The concert may not push through but the members will still meet the fans who went to Manila to see them. They know that there are a lot of fans who made efforts to travel just to see them and they don't want it to put to waste.

They could have just posted a notice and went back to South Korea immediately. But no, they cared. They love their fans so much that even if it is hard for them to stand in front of their fans with a heavy heart, they still decided to do so.

The bittersweet event

Even if there were unfortunate happenings, ELFs still went to the concert. In fact, I was surprised to see that there were a lot of people who still went to the concert. I was expecting that a few will come.

Ms. Kring went on stage to first say some things. And after that, Super Junior went on stage. That's when my tears started to fall down. I never thought that I will be crying like that because of Super Junior.

The members were so sorry that they have to greet us in a not-so-nice way. I actually want to shout that they don't really need to say sorry because no one wanted it to happen. It was no one's fault.

Each members shared their messages (translation may contain some inaccuracies):

Shindong: This is truly unexpected. I didn't know that a lot of people will still come today. I'm really sorry.

Ryeowook: A lot of you came from far places and I'm sorry that we can't continue today's concert. I hope you'll stay safe and we'll meet more in the future. We will surely come back with Siwon and Eunhyuk soon. Thank you.

Donghae: To be honest, I don't know what to say right now. Even if we have performed a lot of times, this is the first time that we started a concert with a ment like this. First, I would like to say my sincerest apologies. My heart hurts because I can't grieve with my best friend, Eunhyuk, who is now in Korea. We are very sorry for not being able to show you a good performance when you have waited for us for so long. We promise that all of the members will come back to show you a good show. Again, I'm really sorry.

Yesung: I missed you all so much. Just like you, we also waited for so long and we missed you. The members who are not here with us today also feel the same way. I am worried about you guys especially because of this situation. It's been a long time since we last met and I didn't expect that I'll be greeting you in this way. Not being able to perform. I'm very sorry. But I know, we'll be meeting each other again soon.

Kyuhyun: I'm very sorry that I can't greet you with a smile right now. It must have been difficult for you to come here at the concert but I was really surprised to see this hall filled up. Thank you for coming.

Leeteuk: I hope you guys won't cry too much. Actually, we were contemplating whether we will continue to come to the Philippines or not. But still, we decided to come here and greet you. I think this is the right thing to do since you waited for us for a long time. When we arrived here in the Philippines, we had meetings until 3 or 4am.

The concert is just postponed, not cancelled. Just think of it as you buying your ticket early. I actually requested the organizer that for the next schedule in Manila, we'll do it for two days. In this way, we can show our sincerity to you.

We will be back soon and greet you all again. And when that time comes, Siwon will be standing there in the middle. Eunhyuk, my doppelganger, will be right next to me. On the other hand, I am very happy and thankful that I have met you once again.

For ELFs, who became even more beautiful, we prepared a simple gift. It's a pity that we'll just go back just like that. So, we'll be singing a song for you. Wishing you and our love to last forever, "My Wish."

Once an ELF, Always an ELF

I know, I may have a lot of other K-Pop groups that I stan. But at the end of the day, I'll be going back to my first and great love, Super Junior. If this isn't what love is, then I no longer know. They made a great decision of postponing the event and still meeting the fans for a short while. It may be less than an hour but I felt like it was a whole concert already.

To Super Junior, let's meet again at the right time. For now, I pray for everyone's well-being. I really can't wait to see you again soon. I will always love you.

I Am Part Of the Top 10 K-Influencer June 2022

Lifestyle August 04, 2022

I was supposed to write about this before but I was so stressed with the ticketing of Seventeen's Be The Sun in Manila that's why I wasn't able to. And I actually haven't celebrated it. But since I have moved on from the ticket selling, I guess I can now celebrate this achievement.

Joining K-Influencer Academy

I mentioned in my Best of Best 2021, I want to be a fangirl related content creator. Since I am a fan of anything Hallyu, I decided to join this year's K-Influencer Academy.

During my introduction, I shared my experience on being a fangirl as well as how I fell in love with Korea. I'm still not that fully confident with speaking in front of the camera but at least I was way better than before. Through this project, I was able to meet new people and also challenge my content creation skills (if I do have lol).

June 2022 Mission Topic

The first topic that we got was to produce Korean promotional content using one's talent. As a Jack of All Trades Master of None, I actually had a hard time on what talent I should show. I mean, I could sing, dance, draw, or do some storytelling. I don't know. But instead of thinking so much about it, I decided to go on with the talent I'm most comfortable with - singing and drawing.

You can actually submit more than one video for the mission. That's why I submitted two videos.

One, is the Fangirl's Playlist wherein I sang some Korean Comfort Songs. I asked help from my friends too. They gave me their comfort songs and then I sang it.

The second video that I made was a studio vlog wherein I made some Korean Food stickers. This one was a bit challenging for me because recently I do not have the motivation to draw. But thanks to SEVENTEEN's In The Soop, I somehow got motivated to draw Korean foods.

Top 10 Participants of June 2022

I can say that I really put a lot of effort with the first mission, in terms of the concept and the editing. I'm so happy that my effort has paid off. I will still continue to do Youtube contents not only to promote Korea and be part of the top participants, but also to improve myself.

For the July mission, I don't know if I will still be a part of it since I passed mine late. A lot of things happened in July that's why.

I hope you will support me in this journey by subscribing to my Youtube Channel and sharing it to your social media accounts. It means a lot to me.
