I can't get my Korea pics from my laptop until my new ac adapter comes in (hopefully soon! ;o;), so I'm fast-forwarding to after the 3pm show but before the 7pm show, our 'intermission' for those who were waiting for the last show to start - cos' I have pictures for that! I might as well have made this account on it's own since when I write..it gets to be too much in one entry. @_@"
Sunday, February 1st 2009 - between 3-7pm
After the 3rd concert in the afternoon, we went back to the outside area of the venue to get more freebies and concert goodies. Later later. I needed to go to the restroom, which was a far walk away. It's funny cos' the line to the womens' restroom was so long that the girls formed another line at the mens' restroom. LOL. I saw little boys playing around the area and they were going to go to the mens' restroom but when they saw all the women lining up in that line too, they stopped running and looked SO confused! LOL. It was funny - the look on their faces was so priceless! But, I did feel bad because they were kids and were holding in their bladder by doing the pee-pee dance...=/ In line I changed to my black BB shirt that I had brought with me from home. It was, in my own way, my own little symbolism thing of when Big Bang wore the shirts for the last performance of The Real, their first concert in Korea. And then this was my last day of the Big Show concerts, the first Big Bang concerts that I attended in Korea~ Though I was in line by myself, it wasn't bad because I was just observing all the people around. All the haircuts and then some other foreign fans lining up a little more behind me. The guys that were with them thought it was amazing how there were so many people there too and how both restrooms were being taken over by the women..haha.
When I returned from the restroom, I went over to the Cyon Edge booth where Susana and Asuka (the Japanese VIP I made friends with and hung out with the day before) were waiting for me. They already got their free Cyon posters so I went in line to get one for myself. (Though the previous day, I got a free GD one from some Korean fans~ I wanted try to get a YB one too!) The booth ended up closing on me. -_-" But at least Susana and Asuka got me a corndog like the ones they were eating earlier. yay 8D
Susana went to use the restroom next and it was just me and Asuka hanging out together. I was still hungry so I decided to go with Asuka to get a churro I was eyeing for awhile. I couldn't help it, when I ordered one I did in the same accent the other people were saying before me. XD Asuka asked, "Is sweet?" And I told her it was so she got herself one too.
It was getting darker and people were going into the concert venue already, but since our tickets were seated, it didn't matter if we got in this early so we decided just to wait outside until the line got shorter. (It was a LONG line that went out into the grassy park area)
So we're just chillin', eating our big sugary churros while waiting at the side, and that's when I slowly started to notice someone at the corner of my eye. He was just at the side of the entrance, facing the window parts of the building with his group of friends. He was dressed TOO nice NOT to notice, imo. He was wearing a red leather jacket, hoody, hat on top, dark shades, a spikey ...fanny..pack behind him and reaaaally nice shoes. He was lean and tall, and just...really seemed like he was SOMEBODY. If it's possible, I could have sworn he just had that...awesome...aura...haha. Asuka and I were wondering who he could have been, as she started noticing him also.
Because of all the previous news of how there were other stars coming to watch Big Bang in concert, naturally I started to suspect that it was just some other star. But who?! Don't ask why but I thought maybe he was Chunhee from FO. LOL. But nah, Chunhee doesn't dress like that. XD
The guy looked to be in a great mood - laughing, talking, and hugging his friends.
Can you imagine me just holding a giant laundry bag (of BB bio books, etc. so heavy!) and eating a churro with the other hand, trying to figure out who this guy was? rofl. I wasn't even tryna hide it either, because, heck, we were just waiting to get inside anyways, nothin' else to look at. We eventually moved closer to him..I just wanted to get a look at his face! And then when he turned around to talk to his friend, I saw a GLIMPSE of his MOUTH and holy shit, I KNEW WHO IT WAS - my eyes went O_O, my heart dropped and my jaw dropped and I bet I dropped my laundry bag, because in my head I was just like "TEDDY?!?!" And that wasn't even me guessing it was him, it was more like wtf is he doing here?! Out here?! And then, nearby I saw only 3 other girls looking at Teddy also. Everyone else around were too busy trying to get inside the concert venue to even notice him there. Well, who would expect TEDDY to just be STANDING there in the OPEN?!
I tried to ask Asuka to take a picture of me and Teddy if we got the chance. I was whispering to her but since we can only semi-communicate because she is Japanese and can only speak/understand maybe 5-10% of English, she just tried to take a picture of him. lol it's okay..xD
So we were just standing around, not knowing what to do - but just eating our churros (it was really big okay..lol..neverending churro) and looking at him, and then he and his group started walking away!! D:
Even though I knew it was Teddy, I always feel like..asking someone else to confirm if what I saw was real so I went up to the other 3 Korean girls who were looking at Teddy and was like, "Was that Teddy?? That was Teddy right??" and they were as excited as me and were like, "Yes!! Teddy!" And I'm like "Oh shiet!!" I dunno what to do, so I'm like...come on Asuka! Let's go follow him! lol IDK. I was really like, IDK IDK but maybe if we can think about what I/we wanted to do while we followed him!!! XD Asuka wasn't as big a fan of me, but she knew who Teddy was so she went along with me, carrying her own big bags of BB goods. It felt like one of those GO NOW CUZ YOU'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN moments. XD
So Asuka and I haul ass with our big bags and churros in our hands as we tried to run/power walk to catch up to Teddy. They were walking along the side of the building. I know, we must have looked weird trying to follow them. I kept thinking should I ask for a picture or a handshake?! picture? handshake?! but then I figured, a picture is more iffy so a handshake is more than good enough~ >_<"
When they were about to enter a restricted, closed off area, near the back, I thought my chance was about to be gone so I called out with the first thing that came to mind:
"EXCUSE ME!!" I said this urgently, imagine the same way you call out to someone when they dropped something and you're about to tell them and it's about that same tone..lmao. I wasn't yelling though, cuz of course I didn't want to cause too much attention to him, in case he was trying to lay low or something.
And then, wow, I am a dork but I was like, "Can I PLEASE shake your hand?!?!" The PLEASE was like so emphasized...LOL..even I can't believe I sounded so...as if it was my last dying wish or something..@_@
After I said that, holy macaroni, he turned around with this AMAZING SMILE on his face and his SHADES WERE OFF! And I could see his face so clearly, and he seemed like in such a good mood! It was as if he just KNEW that I KNEW who he was! A kind of 'ah, you're good for guessing/noticing who I am' xD I can't explain it, but I was just more than happy that he turned around and looked like he didn't mind at all that I was calling out to him. lol..maybe he was surprised too that I was speaking in English..in Korea..haha.
Since I was still holding that frickin' churro in my left hand, I drop my laundry bag and reach out with my right hand. (Actually I think my hand was already reached out when I asked for the handshake in the first place..lolol idk). But then, he offers his left hand for me to take. Which, doesn't make sense cos' if you're picturing this, we're parallel to each other, facing each other, so I don't think I properly shook his hand, instead it was like - my right hand, taking his left hand, one shake/movement and then it was just me holding his hand for a good lasting moment, while I'm just in complete awe that he even let me hold his hand at all, and I'm staring right at his face - and he's still smiling! lol I really think I just froze, so I was holding it more than you should when you shake hands with someone..xD That's why when I told my friends about this, I say I held hands with Teddy because that's what it looked/felt like, being that close to him. X_X
Teddy then slowly let's my hand go and some dude (I guess body guard?) looked like as if he was going to block me from following Teddy but hardly, because I wasn't even following him. And then I was in complete shock, but I did manage to say to Teddy as he walked away, "Thank you!! I'm a big fan!!"
I know, cheesy, but it's TRUE. 1TYM was the first Korean group I ever found out about/loved/admired/completely obsessed over when I first found out about Kpop. And I STILL LOVE them like crazy to this day and will wait for them forever! So seeing him right there, was a BIG DEAL to me. I couldn't believe that I just met, and held hands with freaking Teddy of 1TYM!!! He is legend to me. Right after Teddy and his group walked away, an ahjumma nearby came up and I guess saw the whole thing and asked me who that was and I was like, "Teddy!" "1TYM Leadah~" (lol I really did pronounce 'leader' like 'lea-dah') and said "YG Family/peh-meh-lee/enta-tain-ment-tu" XDD And she was like "Ahh, YG family..."
Wow, my heart was beating SO incredibly fast and I was SO happy, and I was jumping around with Asuka like, "OMG you're my witness!!" (and then I had to like..explain what I meant because she didn't understand what I was saying only that I was freaking happy to see that guy she took a picture of..lol) I think in the midst of my excitement I looked down at myself and I was like, Oh crap...=_= because I was wearing that black BB shirt, in super BB fan gear..LOL. And then I was like...carrying a super large laundry bag filled with BB stuff and I was....still holding that churro! @_@"" lolol..a little embarrassed, but what the hell..of course I did NOT expect to meet Teddy or any 1TYM member at a friggin' Big Bang concert, in muthafuggin' Korea! @_@"
So this was RIGHT before the last Big Show concert, and it made me even more pumped up for the last show - adrenaline was going and everything. I was already smiling from just having been in Korea but my smile just turned up another notch..if that's possible. idk I don't like smiling too much..lol..it hurts..but this was all like..automatic. o-o When we got to our seats, we told Susana what had happened outside and then from my seat.
Later, I saw Teddy standing and sitting at the center where the sound system or whatever controls/technical stuff was at. Believe me, it was REALLY distracting, especially when Big Bang was performing, but I wanted to see Teddy from time to time and see his reaction and stuff - and sure thing he was there enjoying the concert and smiling.^^ He was with Yangssa (YG) also. His arms were crossed and yeaaah, wow..never thought I'd get to see Teddy watching Big Bang..lol. Even Sean and the kids went over there later! Anddd then, after the concert, I saw Teddy briefly at the staff entrance in the back where they had entered earlier and was one of the few that recognized him. idk if he was smoking or not though..lol..maybe..cos' he was outside laggin around but prolly saw all those fans watching him and just went back inside.
So yup! Teddy at the Big Show! Now officially the first gasoo I 'met' in their motherland of Korea..lol. It brought me back to the 10th YG Anni concert where he was the first gasoo/star to have eye contact with ever in America when he was sitting in the front of his van. Ah, Teddy, ilu<3
Btw, Danny is actually my most favorite in 1TYM but I wouldn't dare to meet him cuz I might have been even more embarassing and yelled like a friggin' dying banshee or something and scare him away. XD I'm glad it was Teddy! I was able to contain all that excitement..and say actual words! Even though I was lame..lol...and I'm surprised I was polite with that whole 'EXCUSE ME' and 'PLEASE' xDDD
Ah, I feel like..y'know in the cartoon Pokemon, whenever Ash sees that RARE Pokemon..lol...it felt like that..except more..awesome...*falls out of chair*
TEDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! The LEADER of 1TYM! What are the odds?!
^That one dude must have been the one trying to block me, but I didn't notice him, cuz I was staring at Teddy's face the whole time..haha. This was when they were just standing near the entrance.. Those shades are really dark huh??? They were like..super...across his face..futuristic lookin'
^When we were following them..haha..see Teddy with his arms over both of his friends~ Asuka took these pics..
