[Fan Account] Continuation of encounter with Kyu Jong and Young Saeng in Manila

I'm back! Whew! This past weekend was one of the most memorable times of my life! I never imagined I'll experience this kind of happiness, knowing it’s just a 3-day experience. Are you ready for my very long fan account for Kyu Jong and Young Saeng’s ‘AND Story’? I suggest you get popcorn first or something to eat before you start reading. ^^  There are a lot of revelations included. Here’s the continuation of my fan account.

February 4, 2011 Day 2 with Kyu Jong and Young Saeng

I reached the hotel around 10:45am. (we stayed on the hotel where Kyu Jong and Young Saeng is also staying) By the time I was there, someone told me that Kyu Jong and Young Saeng will be leaving around 11am to promote their fanmeeting in ‘Showtime’. I immediately took my camera and waited for the chance of meeting them again. After a few minutes, the staff with Kyu Jong and Young Saeng came and it was my first time seeing Kyu Jong up close. To tell you honestly, Kyu Jong is way way different in person compared to just watching him in You tube. I can guarantee that anyone who sees him in person will say that he is VERY HANDSOME! I was surprised with his looks, although I have already mentioned before that he is good looking, but in person he was very very handsome! Here is the clip I have taken. If you noticed, Kyu Jong waved and Young Saeng’s dimples are showing. ^^

After my second encounter with them, I was staring at my other friend and immediately told her ‘Kyu was very handsome!’ Then, we waited until we got to check-in the hotel room. The moment we entered the room, I opened the television, hoping to watch even a glimpse of their guesting on ‘Showtime’. It was actually a great timing, since the moment I changed the channel, it was already the hosts calling the name of Kyu Jong and Young saeng. I screamed and then remembered that I should be recording the show. So I grabbed my camera and got this:

Later that evening, we waited again for the chance of meeting them in the lobby. We waited for hours until finally, they passed by again going to one of the function rooms of the hotel. Looks like they’ll be having a photo shoot or an interview with the way they dressed. Kyu Jong was wearing black coat with gray inner shirt and his hair was curly while wearing a hat like Michael Jackson ^^, while Young Saeng was wearing black. I took a fancam of them however it was so dark that you might not be able to recognize who’s who so I decided not to upload it. They were walking very fast, and this time, more fans are waiting for them. We were asked not to scream and to behave properly so that they might not get scared. But those teenagers who cannot control themselves started screaming. The body guards was alarmed but did not panicked. However, after that incident, the bodyguards said they will be implementing strict security next time. They also went out that day to eat dinner, and again the clip was so dark so I did not upload it. Kyu Jong still never forgets to smile and to wave to fans. Young Saeng also waves to his fans and shows his dimples. ^^

February 5, 2011 Day 3 with Kyu Jong and Young Saeng

I woke up early, again waiting for a chance to have another encounter with the boys. After a few hours of waiting, (yes, hours… hours of waiting…) they left the hotel. Kyu Jong was wearing brown, hair straight, wearing a headset on his shoulders while Young Saeng was wearing black and shades. Looks like they’re both nervous on the fanmeeting.

I got in PICC which is just 2 blocks away from the hotel around 5pm. A raffle for handshake was not posted yet so I just went over to some of my friends who were also there. Before they let us in, we were told to submit any digicams we were holding because it is not allowed inside the venue. If we were caught, they will confiscate the camera and you won’t be able to get it back. So I decided to leave my camera at the front desk. Suddenly, TSPH staff said the winners of the handshake are already posted, so eventhough I’m not lucky with raffle draws, I still looked at the list. And I was thrilled to see my seat number included on the list! Row B seat #37! I’m sooo happy!!! My friend was also picked so we were both jumping up and down due to happiness. ^^

When we entered the venue, SS501 songs were being played, and of course we sang with it. At the strike of 6:30pm, the even started.

First was a performance of ‘Because I’m Stupid’ by Kyu Jong and Young Saeng.

Next is Question and answer portion. (Just brief memory of the Q&A portion)

          1. Is it possible that SS501 will come back again together? ? If its yes, will you have a concert again here in the Philippines?

      Kyu Jong was about to answer but fans kept screaming because of excitment so Kyu said in English 'Calm down' (that was so cute! ^^)
He answered: Of course we would love to come back together as a whole group but as of now we do have individual role, we have different schedule. but eventually we hope we could get back together and come back to the Philippines as a group to perform to all the fans out there.

      2.  It’s been a while since you dance to the song ‘Snow prince’. Can you dance a small part of it?

(Young Saeng picked this question, and he danced ‘Snow Prince’. Kyu Jong also decided to join the dance ^^) Kyu Jong even said Young Saeng was cute. ^^


3.  If you would spend an entire week switching identities, what would you guys do?

Kyu Jong: If I would be Young Saeng hyung I want to go to noraebang and sing since Young Saeng hyung has a great voice while singing and I will bring my friends with me.

Young Saeng : If I would be Kyu Jong, I will go to public bath (meaning he will be naked) with Kyu Jong’s body ^^

4. Will there be a chance that you’ll fall in love with a Triple s fan?

      Young Saeng said it was a tough question, he tried to explain and answer the question as much as he can, but audience wants a more definite answer, and he said he loves Triple S. ^^

I forgot the other questions, mianhe..

Grace Lee, the Mc who is fluent in English, Tagalog and Korean, said they’’ have to stop the Q&A portion so that Kyu and Young Saeng can continue with their performance. Audience seems to like the Q&A portion so fans were shouting that they want more Q&A. Kyu Jong answered jokingly would you want to continue asking questions? You might not be able to see our performance which we prepared specially for the fans. (kekekeke) So the fans agreed to continue the fanmeeting performances ^^ (nice one Kyu)

The lights went out and Kyu Jong stayed on the stage. Suddenly, nameless memory was played. I was like OMG!!!! Their surprise for the night is they’ll be switching songs? I was screaming my head off since I love Nameless Memory. Kyu Jong sang it very nicely. Then Young Saeng joined the stage and they sang a duet of the song ‘Nameless Memory’. After the song ended, a funny moment I noticed was Kyu Jong step back, grab some air from the smoke make machine and tried to fan himself. It only means he was nervous while singing the song. ^^

Next was Halo halo-making. Host said Kyu Jong was able to try eating halohalo before but never knew how to make it, while Young Saeng doesn’t have any idea so there is an advantage that Kyu Jong will win. During the preparation, Kyu Jong immediately put ice on the glass! (Ice should be put on top of all other ingredients, not the first one to be put in a glass) Fans shouted as if teaching Kyu Jong that it’s not correct. Kyu immediately removed the ice and said he was just testing if fans are paying attention since he knows that it should not be the ice that comes first. (Kyu Jong was very funny)  Audience was coaching Kyu Jong and Young Saeng on how to do it, and they were actually listening to the audience. ^^ Kyu made 3 while Young Saeng made four. Kekeke Tasting time. Kyu got a score from the fans picked from the audience as 9.5,10,10,10. Young Sang mixed his halo very well and got a score of 10, 10... suddenly Kyu Jong went over to the third fan, as if he was trying to convince her that his halloo is the best compared to Young Saeng’s work. To continue Saengie’s score, he got 9 and 10. So therefore Kyu Jong won. Punishment for YS? To drink the ampalaya (bitter gourd) juice. He drank it in one shot, then after looking as if he doesn’t like it. Kyu teased him ‘Why did you drank all of it, no one told you to drink everything. But that’s okay since that is good for your health since you’re not young anymore.’ Kekeke ^^

After that, a VCR was shown during the time that Kyu Jong and Young Saeng was in USA.

Then it’s time Young Saeng’s ‘Love Like This’ English version. Since I’m sitting at the left side, I knew Young Saeng will dance the sexy wave on the right side, so I was kinda disappointed. But after he did the wave, he faced the left side and did the second wave while holding his shirt. I was like OMG!!! Did I really see that?

Next up was Ku Jong’s ‘Never Let You Go’. First time seeing this live and he was very good in dancing to this song.

Suddenly, I heard the intro for ‘Wuss Up’ . Since I was seating at front, I immediately looked at the back, since from the other ‘AND Story’ performances, Kyu was coming from the back to the stage. But was surprised me Saengie was being lifted on the stage and singing the first stanza of ‘Wuss Up’. The first time ever he performed this song! ^^ Thn Kyu Jong came to continue the second stanza up to the last. ^^

After that, Grace Lee went on to the stage, and Kyu Jong was there. Saengie was nowhere to be found. Only to find out that he bought a cake for Kyu Jong, and we all sang ‘Saeng il Chukha Hamnida’. Kyu Jong was touched. You could watch it here.

Next was a clip of Young Saeng. All the activities that was keeping him busy. It was during he was playing baseball, practicing for ‘Love Song’ and others. An interesting part that was shown here was he was asked by Kyu Jong how much he( Sangie ) loved Triple S? And Saengie said ‘as high as the sky, as vast as the earth’. Nice Sangie. ^^

Suddenly, a clip was shown on the monitor. This was the video that was made by Triple S for Kyu Jong and Young Saeng.

Kyu Jong was teary eyed with the video. He even asked the title of the song and the singer. He said whenever he will hear this song in the future, he will remember this day. Everyone was so touched with what he said.

Finally, Grace Lee said it’s time to end the fanmeet. I thought, we fans are the only ones that is sad that it’s already coming to an end, but Kyu Jong suddenly said’ Is it really ending already?’ Awww… it’s as if he is still enjoying. They sang ‘Wings of the World’ and everybody was grateful for the event.

Time for the handshake. I was so nervous when I was standing in line, I don’t know exactly what to say or react. When it was already my turn, I shook Young Saeng’s hand using two hands and said ‘Saranghaeyo’. He answered back ‘Thank You’. Then for Kyu Jong, I used two hands again and said ‘Saranghaeyo’. Kyu stared straight right into my eyes, as if I will be melted, and said ‘Thank you’. Honestly, I think I froze there for one minute. There is something in his eyes and stare that can make your heart flutter.

After the event, we head straight back to the hotel to wait for them. The moment they entered the hotel, we gave Kyu Jong and Young Saeng a round of applause! They were smiling and clapping as well.

February 6, 2011 Day 4 with Kyu jong and Young Saeng

The day of parting ways. We waited again for a chance to say goodbye to them. We started waiting at 11:30am and they passed by around 3pm. We said ‘kamsahamnida’ and again, Kyu Jong was smiling and Young Saeng too.

So there. I told you it’s a long fan account. Sorry about that. I really wanted a detailed fan account, for me to remember the moment I’ve had with these two boys. The best fanmeet ever!
