This pre- fan account by Melinda is already so touching. She’s from Puerto Rico in Caribbean islands. Very far from JKS’ home country, but she is going to fly all the way to see him and TEAM H party to Japan. Most of you eels here are in the same situation as her, but like her case, the dream will come true! Looking forward to seeing her in person and reading her real fan account after the party!

Exactly 1 week from today (its Tuesday here) I shall embark on an epic journey towards the adventure of my life. I shall cross 2 oceans, 1 continent, travel literally halfway around the globe and 3 days later I shall live a dream come true.
3 years ago I saw for the very first time a Team concert on youtube and loved it. At that moment and sent a little, with not much hope behind, for God to give me the opportunity of one day be able to attend a concert. For me, it was never a real possibility. Too far, too expensive.
JKS, even being so much younger than me, has been a force of inspiration in my life. So, last December I decided enough, if I want a dream to come true I must work hard towards it. So this journey began really in January. Planning a trip halfway accross the globe, to a Country completely alien to me, until recently (bear in mind, I live in a tiny little Island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea), with the hope that he might schedule a concert in November. And my dear friend and eel sister Beth joined me in it.
By May, with the Monochrome schedule out and not even a whisper of Team H, I had lost hope and was resigned of loosing my one and only opportunity to see him. So, I focused on my journey to Japan and discovering that new world to me.
God is never late, his timing is always perfect, even though I had no hope and lost a little faith, He was still faithful…and the announcement was made in August and I screamed, I laughed, I cried. I gave thanks.
It still doesnt feel real. I am an emotional wreck. I listen to Team H in my way to work and suddenly I will burst out laughing and then I start crying. I cannot believe I will be inside a venue screaming to the beats of Team H. I will be in his presence, live and see him in the flesh, instead of through a screen.
So, my dear sisters and brothers, it can happen, you can make your dreams come true. It has been a long journey, with many obstacles, but I have not waivered I kept zikzin towards my dream. And in 10 days I will live it….waving my Puerto Rican flag high, the first to be waived in a Team H concert.
Beth, thank you for going through this journey with me, it makes it all the more special and if it wasnt for you…I dont know if I could have survived all those obstacles.
Tenshi, THANK YOU!!!!!
To all my eel family, thank you all your words of support and encouragement. Looking forward to meeting many of you.
Soon, I shall be writing my very own fan account.
Thank you Tenshi. I am looking forward to writing my very own fan account and sharing it with all eels.

Sending you warm wishes for your journey to “breathe the same air” as Sukkie.

Enjoy your time with sis Beth and all the wonderful eels you will meet. I look forward to reading your FA and wish you many more wonderful adventures. Have a safe journey sis and Zikzin! ❤️

I’ll look forward to hear it and read it in your FA, with the true and beautiful heart you and sis beth have I believe you deserve it
If there is one lesson to be learned from our Asia Prince Jang Keun Suk..that is DREAM BIG…in sounds and colours… and work hard to achieve your dreams…don’t let yourself be distracted by nay sayers and negative minded people…don’t let them drain your possitive spirits for it’s better put to use to work towards your dreams…
Melinda …you did just that…this dream; bigger than your island..bringing you to the otherside of the world to another island..one totally different from yours and yet it will feel like coming home …he will be there and so will be many of your eels sisters and maybe even brothers…
Counting the days my dear 🙂
Congratulations, Melinda!! I´m happy for you! I think I can imagine how you are feeling now. I couldn´t sleep, couldn´t think about anything else before my journey to Seoul almost 2 months ago. Have a great time! Can´t wait to read your fan account. 🙂
So happy for you. Wish you safe travels and hope you will have a
blast at the concert and tell us all about it!
