SEVENTEEN Right Here Goyang Concert: A Rollercoaster of Emotions for Carats

Entertainment October 19, 2024

SEVENTEEN Right Here Kicks Off in Goyang: My Experience at the First Stop of the World Tour

SEVENTEEN has officially begun their new world tour, SEVENTEEN Right Here, starting with an electrifying two-day concert in Goyang. Held on October 12-13, 2024, at the Goyang Stadium, the event was an unforgettable experience for fans (Carats) who gathered to support their favorite K-pop group.

For those unfamiliar, Goyang is located just outside Seoul. To get there, you can take the subway's orange line and alight at Daehwa Station (the last stop). There’s also an express bus available from Seoul to the venue for added convenience.

Ticketing Woes: Navigating Interpark’s New System

@annyeongruth I’m happy I was able to secure at least one ticket for SEVENTEEN Right Here World Tour in Goyang. Interpark had a new system. See you again soon SEVENTEEN! #kpop #seventeen #interpark #concertticketing ♬ Ima -Even if the world ends tomorrow- (Korean Ver.) - SEVENTEEN

The ticketing process for this concert brought its own challenges. Following the issues with ticketing for Caratland 2024, Interpark implemented a new system where each account could only queue on one device at a time. Previously, I could join the queue from multiple gadgets and tabs, which increased my chances of scoring better seats.

This time, there was only one queue for both Day 1 and Day 2. My queue number was around 70,000 - better than my usual 200,000 - but still not ideal. By the time I entered the site, VIP and R seats were sold out, so I settled for an S seat for Day 1.

I prioritized Day 1 tickets since the excitement of a new tour usually comes with surprises, including a fresh setlist. Although I couldn’t secure my preferred seating, I was grateful to have a ticket at all!

Memorable Highlights from the Concert

My Most Unprepared Concert Yet

If you follow me on social media, you know I usually put a lot of effort into planning concert outfits. However, October was packed for me - from attending DAY6’s Forever Young concert and BIFF 2024 to juggling school and work. I barely had any time to sleep, let alone prepare, so I ended up wearing whatever I could find.

To be honest, I regret not getting enough rest before the concert. It definitely affected how much I could enjoy the event.

Reuniting with Friends

One of the reasons I love attending SEVENTEEN concerts in Korea is the chance to meet friends from the Philippines. Strangely, we find it easier to meet here than back home!

I arrived at the venue early to catch up with them, and I’m especially thankful for their help in securing SEVENTEEN merchandise - a jacket and a group picket.

The Lucky Joshua PC Trade

If you’re unfamiliar, the Carat Zone PC (photocard) is a special random card for concertgoers with an active membership. I was hoping for a Joshua, DK, or The8 PC. I initially pulled The8 and was content, but my luck changed when someone nearby wanted to trade her Joshua PC for The8. As a Joshua-biased, I did not let go of that chance.

Performances of New Songs from Spill the Feels

Just as I hoped, SEVENTEEN performed tracks from their latest album, Spill the Feels. Each unit showcased a new song:

Hip-Hop Unit: "Water"

Performance Unit: "Rain"

Vocal Unit: "Candy"

The entire group also performed Love Money Fame, making us one of the first audiences to witness these songs live.

An Amazing Setlist with Nostalgic Hits

While I still think the Follow Tour had the best setlist, this one didn’t disappoint. They surprised us with "Ash," a fan-favorite long requested by Carats. Other highlights included:

My favorites: "Cheers to Youth," "Hitorijanai" (Korean version), "Ima Even If the World Ends Tomorrow," "Campfire"

Songs I’d longed to hear live: "Lilili Yabbay," "Home," and "If You Leave Me"

A First: Not an OT13 Concert

This was my first SEVENTEEN concert without all 13 members. Jeonghan has enlisted in the military, and Jun was filming a show in China. Their absence was noticeable, especially during iconic parts of songs like "Fear" and "Fearless."

Still, Jeonghan showed his love by attending the concert as part of the audience, which warmed our hearts.

A Small Fire Incident

A minor stage fire temporarily halted the concert, but instead of panicking, fans were busy screaming when news spread that Jeonghan was in the audience. Thankfully, the incident was quickly resolved, and the show resumed without injuries.

Emotional Rollercoaster: "If You Leave Me" and "Aju Nice"

Their final segment had me in tears. During their ments, I was contemplating taking a break from fangirling because of how exhausted I’ve been. Then they performed If You Leave Me, and I felt guilty for even thinking about stepping back.

The emotional drone show made me cry even more, especially when the words "How are you feeling?" appeared, only to be followed by "Aju Nice," which made everyone laugh. SEVENTEEN truly knows how to take us on a rollercoaster of emotions.

Despite my exhaustion and lack of preparation, SEVENTEEN’s Right Here concert in Goyang was an unforgettable experience. It had its share of surprises, heartfelt moments, and laughter. While I initially thought about taking a break, this concert reminded me why I love SEVENTEEN so much.

Now, here I am preparing for the Right Here concert in Bulacan for two days. Who am I kidding? My fangirl heart can never rest!

My First Visit to Xenia Clinic: A Foreigner-Friendly Skincare Experience

BeautyFashion October 18, 2024

Foreigner-Friendly Skin Care Clinic in South Korea

If you’re into K-Pop or K-Dramas, you’ve probably wondered, "How on earth do Koreans have such amazing skin?" Well, it’s not magic. It’s because South Korea is home to tons of skincare clinics. From basic facials to advanced treatments, they’ve truly got it all. No wonder their skin always looks so flawless. Doesn’t it make you want to try it out for yourself?

I’ve been looking for a good skincare clinic that’s foreigner-friendly because my skin hasn’t been in the best condition lately. And guess what? One of the clinics I was researching, Xenia Clinic, reached out to me on Instagram for a collaboration. Of course, I couldn’t pass up the chance to try them out!

Treatments I Got at Xenia Clinic

PicoSure Toning

PicoSure Toning is a laser treatment designed to improve your skin’s overall tone and texture. It uses super-short pulses of energy to target dark spots, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. The best part? It’s gentle and has minimal downtime, which means you can go right back to your daily activities after the session. Plus, it boosts collagen production, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking.

This was after the PicoSure Toning

I loved this treatment because I had a concert to attend the next day. Since it’s quick and non-invasive, it was perfect for my schedule. I also have skin concerns like pigmentation and dullness, and this treatment is ideal for addressing those issues.

Glutathione Whitening Injection

Glutathione is a natural antioxidant that works wonders for your skin. In injection form, it helps brighten your complexion by reducing melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven skin tone). It also detoxifies your body, promoting healthier skin from the inside out.

I decided to try this treatment because I wanted my skin to look a little brighter. While I know one session isn’t enough to see drastic results, it was worth giving it a shot to experience its benefits!

Why I Recommend Xenia Clinic

Foreigner-Friendly

Xenia Clinic is super foreigner-friendly. The staff can speak multiple languages, including English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. When I arrived, I could hear people speaking different languages, which made me feel more comfortable. If you’re not fluent in Korean, don’t worry—they’ll assist you every step of the way!

Kind and Supportive Staff

As a first-timer at the clinic (and as an introvert), I was nervous about making mistakes. But the staff were so kind and welcoming. They even gave me bottled water while I waited for my turn. They explained every step of the process clearly, making it easy to understand. Everyone was so patient and sweet—I truly appreciated it.

Same Prices for Foreigners and Locals

Some clinics charge different prices for foreigners, but not Xenia Clinic. Their prices are the same for everyone, which I think is awesome. Plus, they offer a tax refund, so you can save a little extra too!

Clean and Convenient Location

The clinic is located in Gangnam, close to the subway, so it’s super easy to find.

Address: Seoul, Seocho District, Gangnam-daero, 441 서산빌딩 4층

When I walked in, the place was spotless, which is always a good sign for any clinic. The clean and relaxing atmosphere definitely added to the experience.

Mini Vlog

@annyeongruth My first ever skin treatment experience in South Korea. I was so stressed the past weeks which caused my skin to be in a bad condition. AND I HAVE A CONCERT TO ATTEND TO! Good thing I have a schedule with @xeniaclinic_eng and my experience with them is great! Can’t wait for my next appointment 😊 #Xeniaclinic #Kskincare #KoreanBeauty #KoreanAesthetic #Koreanskincare #Kbeauty ♬ original sound - Ruthie in Korea 🇰🇷

Overall, my experience at Xenia Clinic was fantastic. The treatments were effective, the staff were amazing, and the clinic itself was top-notch. I’m already looking forward to going back to try more treatments! If you’re looking for a foreigner-friendly skincare clinic in South Korea, I highly recommend Xenia Clinic.

DAY6 Forever Young in Incheon: Inspire Arena Experience and Fan Highlights

Entertainment September 28, 2024

DAY6, you truly are everyone's favorite

DAY6's Forever Young is their third world tour, following Youth and Gravity. I had the chance to attend both of their past concerts in the Philippines, but this time, living in Korea, I wasn’t sure if I’d get to attend in the Philippines. So, I was so determined to attend the South Korea leg.

I was surprised when they announced that the concert is going to be held at Inspire Arena in Incheon instead of Jamsil Stadium, where their previous events like Welcome to the Show and I Need My Day took place. Clearly, DAY6 needed a bigger venue to accommodate their growing fanbase.

Smooth Ticketing Experience

@annyeongruth I’m seeing DAY6 again this September for their 3rd World Tour Forever Young in Incheon. Concert ticketing can really be nerve-racking. #kpop #day6 #yes24 #ticketing ♬ Welcome to the Show - DAY6

Unlike previous ticketing struggles, this time the process on Yes24 was surprisingly smooth. There were no frustrating errors or glitches during queuing or seat selection.

Interestingly, seated tickets sold out faster than standing tickets. Like many fans, I also prefer seats since standing through an entire concert can be exhausting.

Memorable Moments at the Concert

First Time at Inspire Arena

Attending a concert at Inspire Arena in Incheon was a first for me, and getting there was easier than I expected. I took the Airport Railroad Train, got off at Incheon International Airport Cargo Terminal Station, and exited through Exit 2. Staff were there to guide us to the shuttle buses heading to the venue, making the process seamless.

Returning to Seoul after the concert was just as organized. Signages clearly directed attendees based on their transportation choices, from KakaoShuttle to private cars to shuttle buses heading back to the airport. Despite the crowd, everything ran smoothly, and I made it home earlier than expected.

Making Korean Friends

Since I went to the concert alone, I wasn’t sure if I’d meet other Filipino MyDays, especially with no one replying to my Twitter messages (lol). So, I decided to take a leap of faith and posted on DAY6’s FAN platform.

To my delight, some Korean MyDays reached out! We met up before the concert, and despite my not-so-fluent Korean, we communicated well. Now, we keep in touch, chatting regularly.

Nostalgic Setlist

As a MyDay since DAY6's debut, hearing a mix of their older and newer songs hit me right in the feels. It brought back so many memories that I couldn’t help but cry. Although they didn’t perform Afraid (a personal favorite), the setlist was incredible and absolutely made my night.

Spotting Xdinary Heroes and SEVENTEEN Members

One unexpected highlight was seeing Xdinary Heroes at the venue! They passed by so close to me, but I was too starstruck to even take out my phone for a video. I just stood there, staring in awe.

Another exciting moment came later when my friends messaged me to say that SEVENTEEN’s DK and Wonwoo were also at the concert. Knowing that Wonwoo, my SEVENTEEN bias, shares my love for DAY6 made me so happy. And DK attending twice? He’s truly a dedicated MyDay! Although I didn’t get to see them since they were seated in a different section, just knowing they were there made my heart full.

Attending DAY6’s Forever Young concert in Incheon was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the smooth ticketing process to the incredible venue and meeting new friends, every moment was unforgettable. I can’t wait for their The Present concert later this year!

Unexpected Bliss: Na In Woo’s Fanmeeting in South Korea

Entertainment August 16, 2024

A Fanmeeting I Never Thought I'd Attend

As a K-drama fan, I never imagined I’d find myself at a fanmeeting for Na In Woo. My journey to this unforgettable experience was completely unplanned and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my year!

I first discovered Na In Woo through 2 Days & 1 Night. Later, I watched him in Jinxed at First, The Golden Spoon, and most recently, Marry My Husband. I love watching K-drama actors on screen, but I don’t usually keep up with their offline activities. So, I had no idea Na In Woo was hosting a fanmeeting.

But on my birthday, while hanging out with friends at a café, one of them was casually browsing Interpark. She stumbled across the event listing for Na In Woo’s fanmeeting and noticed that there were still tickets available. Since we had just received our allowances, we spontaneously decided to book tickets right then and there!

Memorable Experiences during the Fanmeeting

The day of the fanmeeting arrived, and we showed up in the late afternoon. After picking up our tickets, we lined up to take photos at the photobooth before entering the cozy venue.

The small size of the venue made the fanmeeting feel incredibly intimate. It was clear from the start that this was going to be a special experience.

Talented Na In Woo

During the fanmeeting, Na In Woo showcased his many talents—dancing, playing the guitar, singing, and interacting with fans. It was amazing to see how much effort he put into connecting with everyone.

He may not be the most skilled dancer, but he gave it his all, which made the performance even more endearing. His sincerity and charm shone through in every moment, and it was heartwarming to watch.

Embarrassing Moment

There was one moment, however, that left me feeling a bit embarrassed.

The host asked the audience who had come from the farthest place. Since the question was in Korean, many foreign fans didn’t understand it right away. My friend and I, who understood the question, shouted out the names of our countries—loud enough for everyone in the small venue to hear.

But then the host clarified, saying, “No, in Korea first,” which hadn’t been specified earlier. This made me feel awkward for shouting my country when the focus was supposed to be on locations within Korea.

On a side note, I felt the host occasionally took too much of the spotlight from Na In Woo, especially during the first part of the fanmeeting. That’s just my personal opinion, though!

Hi-Touch

One of the best surprises of the evening was the hi-touch session! I only found out about it while reviewing the event details on the way to the venue.

During the hi-touch, I stood in front of Na In Woo, who bent down slightly because of his height. I told him, “Please come to the Philippines,” and he responded with a smile, repeating, “Oh, Philippines. Philippines.”

Although fans were allowed to take photos and videos during the hi-touch, I wanted to make the moment more personal by interacting with him using both hands. It was such a surreal experience!

Mini Vlog:

Overall, the fanmeeting was an incredible experience. From Na In Woo’s heartfelt performances to the unexpected hi-touch, every moment felt special.

I’m so grateful I decided to attend and hope to see him in more big projects soon. I hope he visits the Philippines so that my friends who are his fans can all see him live.

@annyeongruth I attended Na In Woo’s fan meeting in South Korea and even got a hi-touch from him 🥹 This is a late upload but still worth the memory. #kdrama #nainwoo #나인우 #nainwoofanmeet ♬ 蜜桃物语 - 仁辰 & 于行
