On Thursday, I had just ordered some bookmarks and felt happy. Since I was in Tokyo already, I made a trip to Shibuya to visit “JKS room” which was not originally part of my schedule. Not that I don’t want to go. Firstly, his exhibition will be open soon in Yokohama. Secondly, I really don’t have the time to queue for several hours.
At Parco, the first thing I saw was naturally this JKS in front of the café. It was not a rest day and it was mid-afternoon, so those working and studying shouldn’t be here right, but the café was still so full and there was a crowd sitting or standing outside waiting. Looks like I could not fill my stomach here.
Luckily, it wasn’t like the first day when the queue started from level 8 all the way to basement. Nevertheless, there were still many people. The age range of fans? There were those in baby prams, those with white hair, a young and sweet couple and also a middle-aged man standing in queue on behalf of his wife. The big-sized management guys held up signs, shouting “The end of the queue for JKS Room is here!” and “Please enter the room first before taking any photo, don’t stop moving!”
The restaurant next to the exhibition venue displayed the Seoul makkori advertisement and also a JKS set meal for 2,500 yen.
Photography was forbidden inside the exhibition area. Aftter entering, I was looking around when suddenly behind me came JKS’ voice “Welcome! Have a fun time!” Although I have seen this video, I was still surprised. The items on display in the Room were not luxurious, just some daily necessities, but I felt a sense of awe and worship emanating from the visitors. Besides bated breath, the only other words I heard was “ka-wa-ii~~!!” [cute]
Several large photos were hanging in the exhibition area. Because of the high resolution, my eyes unconsciously became drawn to that photo of JKS lifting up his shirt to reveal his belly button, then I hastily turned my attention to those hairpins and glasses of aromatherapy candles, thinking that if the hairpins really had been pinned on some hair, it would be much more realistic. The little beauty in front leaned against the glass display, and the bathrobe inside moved, I thought it was JKS! Hastily discarding unbidden thoughts … …
Not everyone put their face against that bolster. Everyone was looking at it longingly. I discovered that those who came with companions were more daring. They would touch and stroke JKS’ face on the bolster and say sweetly, “So soft, so comfortable~ Keun-chan~~!!” After much struggling with my thoughts, I stretched out my hand, but there was a surge in the crowd and I missed my chance.
This was the only part of the exhibition area where photography was allowed. At the exit near this board, there were a little black curtain and women who entered it came out with a mysterious and incredible smile on their faces. Suddenly I thought of this phrase “[~intimate visit by emperior]”. So when I was led in, I was slightly nervous. JKS said (presumably video) “Had a fun time? Hope you’ll come again!”
What was most touching was all the fans’ messages to JKS within that heart shape where JKS had written “I permit you to leave a message for me”. Each message was full of sincerity; on some were stamped with his image and some had the imprint of lips/kiss. I saw a well-dressed white-haired granny, together with a group of girls, bent at the table, writing line after line.
At JKS confectionery workshop, 80% of the confectionery was sold out and red “Sold Out” labels could be seen everywhere and stocks had not arrived – amazing, given that there were still 10 days left of the exhibition. I had forgotten to pray to the Rain God, so it was raining heavily when I stepped out and I had to go and buy an umbrella.

东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记1：星期四，因为定下担纲日本老牌大手教育出版社的最新系列图鉴，心情愉悦，人又已在东京，于是从目白坐车到涉谷去探访没在参观计划中“张根硕房间”。并不是不想去，一是横滨马上就要开他的展览，二是要排几个小时那么久，实在没有时间。
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记2：到了PARCO，自然第一眼看到的就是这个咖啡店前的张根硕。不是休日，又是下午中途半端的时间带，上班的上学的应该不在吧，可是店里还是满满的坐在外面和站在外面等的一群。看来是不能在这里填肚子了。
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记3：好在不象第一天从地下一直排到8楼，即使这样依然有这么多人。粉丝层？有坐在婴儿车里的，还有头发苍白的，有年轻甜蜜的情侣还有帮老婆站队的中年男人。管理人员的彪型大汉们举着手牌，喊着”张根硕的房间排队最尾在这里！”“请优先进房间再拍照，不要停下来！”
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记4：展厅旁边的饭店贴着首尔米酒的广告，开着2千5百园的张根硕套餐
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记5：展厅不许拍照，进去后正在环顾四周，突然身后传来“欢迎你来！玩得开心点”的张根硕的声音，虽然看过电视里放这个视频，还是吓了一跳。房间里展示的内容并不豪华，都是些日常用品，但是看的人却都有点朝圣的感觉，除了屏住呼吸，听到唯一的语言就是“卡哇衣～～！！”
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记6：展厅里几张大幅照片，因为实在太高清了不自觉地就看了某幅掀开衣服的照片的肚脐一眼，然后赶紧去看那些发夹，香烛杯，心里想着发夹里再夹根头发就更加真实了。前面的小美女靠了一下玻璃柜，里面的浴衣一晃，我还以为张根硕来了呢！赶紧丢掉不CJ的念头…
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记7：并不是所有人都去和那个抱枕贴脸，大家都恋恋不舍地看着，我这才发现，结伴来的人比较大胆，看着她们在抱枕的小张的脸上摸来摸去，甜蜜蜜地说：好柔软，真舒服啊～根酱～～！！我忍不住在激烈的思想斗争后，伸出手去，结果后面大队一涌，我没有得逞
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记8：这是展厅内唯一一个可以拍照的。在这个看板旁出口处，有一个小黑帘子，看着走进去又走出来的女人们脸上都带着神秘不可思议的微笑，突然又不CJ地想起“宠幸”这个词。于是当自己也被指引进去时，有点小忐忑。“玩得开心吗？欢迎再来啊！”张根硕面对面地说
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记9：最令人感动的是张根硕那张写在心型里的“我允许你们给我留言”的纸板旁边贴满的粉丝们的留言，满满的都是心意，也有用橡皮刻的他的头像和直接印上吻痕的特别内容。我看到一位头发花白的非常有品味的奶奶也在那边跟一群年轻女孩们一起，伏在桌子上一字一句地给他写着
东京涉谷“张根硕房间”探访记10：张根硕蛋糕的制作工房。专卖店里的专卖品8成已经完售，还没有入货，到处都是无货的红标签，展览还有10天，真是匪夷所思。最失败的是忘记是去朝拜雨神，居然没带雨伞，一出店门发现大雨瓢泼，只好跑去买了把伞。…
Thank you Aphrael for the trans! Lol!!! Belly button??!!! ‘intimate visit by Emperor’? This fan sure has some naughty thoughts! Why stop there? Wahahaha!!!
The trip was awesome. The decision to drop in the JKS room in Shibuya could not be a mistake. I particularly like the “I permit you…”. Thanks for the translation, for letting me (sitting from a(so so so so)far) have a chance to take a look and feel the atmosphere there 😉
