[Fan Account] Cathy’s first Seoul diary about LIVE IN SEOUL

So happy to see her cathy in person. We met at BBQ restaurant after LIVE IN SEOUL for the first time. She’s as short as me, but I felt her big energy and happiness from throughout her small body! After that I heard from her how lucky she was. She could understand what he said during the show because of her good seat, there was an eel’s translator! Anyway, I love her full of happiness Seoul diary. I’m sure you too ^^ Reading her diary, I could feel her heart beating. Enjoy!

First of all, this is My Seoul’s diary. So, I tried to remember as much as possible, as I am scared this beautiful memory will fade off from my ‘malfunction’ brain. Thus please bear with my “long story” telling section as below if anyone is reading it………

This is my ever first trip to Seoul, first trip for the purpose of attending ‘someone’ concert not a vacation neither for work. And of course the first time to see JKS in real life not through the TV screen. Well, I am very excited about the journey of course, did google some information about prince’s recommendation restaurants and some interesting place to visit. But when I arrived, seem to be not that easy as I thought as all the signs boards, directions are in Korean language which I totally do not understand and the locals speak very little English. I was a bit worried and uncertain what I should do…….. but guess what, end up this Korea trip is the best and the smoothest trip I ever have!! This is all because of the “EELS’ POWER” ^o^ *o* !!!

Firstly, I was lucky that I have a good roommate cum partner that met up just before the flight from KL to Seoul. We have never met and known each other in person before, except she has a lot of prince’s art works that are well known and of course I am one of her art works’ fan too. In fact, she has sacrificed to take up shorter trip in order to keep me accompanied throughout the trip as I left Seoul on Sunday after the concert but her other buddies stay until Tuesday. So, really thank you very much Eve Yap ♥♥♥♥. As I was ‘stick’ to her where ever she went during the trip, I never got loss and our itinerary was always full as she was so good in Seoul. During the stay, majority of our meals were having in the restaurants that recommended by our prince except breakfast…….. Well, I am sure all eels are aware our prince seldom or never take breakfast as he always wake up “very early” @@ ^^ . The food was really nice and delicious. Amongst the meals, my own top list in Seoul I think I should vote “soy source crab” which is unique, delicious and amazing heavenly tasty (picture as per attached)!!! However, please make sure you are going to the correct restaurant to have it (which our prince loves to have it there too). And my advice, enjoy it together with Makori ^^ .

5th September 2015, the big day finally came. As we all know, our prince is a “rainy boy” and the weather broadcast has announced it too in the morning, so everyone is expected and brought along an umbrella. Lucky enough that there were only drizzling while we were there. While queue up to get my ticket, I saw eels from all over the world that hugged and greeted each other and passing around the souvenirs which they brought from their own countries……. WOW!! It really open up my view that eels are soooo lovely and cute like our prince!!! Of course there were some others like me who never prepare anything and feel a bit awkward but eels are so amazing. They just passed to me their souvenir and welcome me to the “club”!! ^v^

My ticket number is 101, 4th row, 1st seat (the most left from the stage as picture below). Looking at the floor plan of the concert, my seat is ok but not that ideal if compare to other eels from Malaysia and initially I have a little bit upset but guess what………. the eel sat behind me knows Korean language and she translated for me throughout the show!! Aaahhh…… how lucky I was!!!!! I have never been so lucky that I feel my whole life’s luck is used in this trip!!!

The show started as per scheduled: 7pm. The eels have started to shout and cheer at the moment the live band played the music. By the time prince standing on stage…… the cheer was so loud that like a volcano erosion. Everyone was lighten up and started to stand and wave their lights on their hand. But truly speaking, heheheh……. my first impression on prince was……. “emm, this boy is getting older” ^^^^^^ hahahah. This is because the huge projector screen was in front of me around 15 to 20 feet only, I can see very clearly his face even his pore and eyelashes. Prince started with 3 hot songs in main stage (1. My Bus; 2. Beautiful Change; and 3. Driving To The Highway) with everybody jumping and singing together. Then he walked to the front of the T stage, and said to us: “thought we have a bet to make me laugh, why are’t you all doing anything??” It was not true!! In fact, a lot of eels tried to make him laugh by wearing cartoon pig costume, wearing weird hair clips and so on….. but he managed not to laugh and said “not the time yet” @@…. naughty prince lol… Follow by the songs 4. Hello Hello and 5. Oh My Darling, he stopped suddenly at the beginning of 5th song and everybody was surprised (though in my mind this was done on purpose… prince was so hilarious^^) and said: “I can’t really sing well in this type of (serious) mood (not laughing), shall we change?” Of course eels answered “YES”. Then he started to smile like an innocent kid….. so sweet. So, who won in the bet ??? I am not that sure lol…… hahahah.

I think prince knows eels physical strength lol, thus after jumping and singing for 5 songs continuously, he sang 6. Love Letter and 7. Without a Word and the guards asked us to sit down. The first part of the show ended by showing the VCR of all Cri Show 1,2,3 and prince getting change. The VCR is really touching, it showed how sincere and how hard prince has tried to entertain his eels and his changes throughout these few years……T-T…. Prince back to stage by singing 8. When Spring Comes (春になれば) and 9. Under One Umbrella (一つ傘の下), sat behind a semitransparent screen like CS3 with his ponytail. The visual effect was really beautiful and sentimental (photo as below), strongly recommended eels to purchase the DVD!!

Subsequently, the semitransparent screen was rolled up and he grasped a cowboy hat……… aahhhh ……. I was stunned when he wore it………. so eye catching, so handsome, so…. wordless, I love it, I Love It and I LOVE IT !!!

Then he mentioned the following song was made while he was drunk ==II That is 10. In My Dream and he sang 11. My precious THEN 12. Turn off with a cigarette on his hand !!!! WOW, he was so sexy and manly even though I don’t like people smoking, but it really looks good in his performance.

Then come the acoustical section in the front of the T stage. He called the lead band to play the solo keyboard with 13. What Should I Do… YES !!! This is “the song” that he never sing for 5 years !!!! Everyone was so tremors and excited. The light was dimmed and only one light focused on him. He sat down and turned to his left….. so the eels were cheered ….. but just before the song began he turned to his right with the naughty smile on his face …….. hahahah (yes you got us!!!) then of course we were all shouted like crazy women for those on his right side. However, when he started to sing……. my body was automatically tensed up as I was so worried he will out of pitch again. Well, he himself felt the same too. He showed us his trembling hand after the song was over…… hahahah so funny. Don’t worry, he did it, he sang perfectly well!! Then follow by 14. Can You Hear Me. If I was not misheard, he did cry during this section but he covered it up so well. Maybe he didn’t want his eels to worry about him like what he used to say “I will not cry on the stage”….TT….TT….

Oops, there was an interesting part before this acoustic section, he teased BB by saying “I have invited a lot of friends this round as they wander what I am doing all this while but not BB, I never extended my invitation to him, he came by himself” by pointing at him. We all laughed and of course, all of us knew that was a joke or may be jealousy??? (we all welcomed the arrival of BB before the show start ^^^^ it was a big approach that I was certain he can hear at the back of the stage……HAHAHAH, this ‘little boy’).

Here came the song 15. I will promise you. I was always impressed by the harmonious rhythm between prince and his eels in this song. And finally, I was one of them ….. the feeling like we were all united by his voice. We are in a family……

Surprise birthday party…….. he didn’t seem to be surprised lol (hahahah). He even taught us to sing “happy birthday” in Korean while he blew out the candle…… so cute!! Right after he blew off the candle, he asked: “where is my present”…lol… our prince is like a kid asking for his present…hahah. His birthday gifts from the FC are all the certifications of the charity works that they have done and a mini motorbike (as red as his Ferrari).

After the birthday party, he continued sang 16. Still and mentioned what he had done recently. He went to the University, drink once a week which that will be tonight (heheh…..I strongly questioning on the reliability), study the drama script……… the moment he mentioned this, everyone turned into crazy mode !!! But he told us down by saying “I have not yet signed.” So bad. “But if you all give me more support, I might consider to sign it lol” . Aiyoo….. he is playing and torturing us lol. Then we were complaining and wanted him to tell us more on drama……. at last he said “ this time the drama character is what majority of you all wish me to act, involved a bit of historical, a bit of war/fight and in different time zone/century and will be during winter” WOW!! This is more than enough…… for me, as long as JKS act, I don’t mind what type, with whom, the only issue I concern is when !!! With this highly motivated news, everyone jumping, dancing and singing together with him in 17. Promise. With this happy and happening environment, the show came to the end.

As every eel knows, our prince is very good in write up some touching words. So, below is his message to us in show before the encore section.

(English translation: Eileen Tan from ECI)
Live here
Where I am standing here today,
is not by force,
but is through taking each and every step on my own and walk to where I am today..
All of these, I will embrace it,
No matter how tough the road ahead will be,
I am here to stay.

Live today
The main difference between a boy and man,
is when a boy will do what he yearns to do,
whereas the latter, is when there are things he has to do.
Even though the future is filled with uncertainties,
but I will enjoy wholeheartedly every minute and every moment that I know will not come by again.
I will not bother those noises that are insignificant to me.

Live with you
To me, the most meaningful thing is to receive eel’s recognition, this to me is call happiness,
for those who truthfully mean well to me,
eels who support me with sincerity,
I would want to dedicate this wonderful moment to all of you.

Now, the final part of the concert, Encore section:
As usual, he sang 18. Melody We Make Together and we were like a big choir. Everyone so enjoyed and had fun. But the last song surprised everyone as he sang 19. Feel the Beat in 4 languages: English, Mandarin (Chinese), Korean and Japanese. WOW!!! I can only said: wow, wow, wow, wow!!!!! No other word I can describe.

That’s all for my ever first “Suk’ s diary” . And of course, I am so happy and touched by all the eel sisters who I newly met in Seoul especially Tenshi !!! You are so lovely, pretty and feminine. Love you so much (kiss, kiss, kiss) as you have helped me to understand more on our prince (Don’t cut this out Tenshi, I want it share together with my diary !! ^^)

P.S. His singing skill has really improved a lot.
P.P.S. Our prince is not fat at all, he is slim….. at least more skinny than me ^^
P.P.P.S. Must attend his live concert at least once in your lifetime. Then you will know he is beyond what we’re imaging.
