Saranghae

I had one of the most insane nights ever - Attended a meet-Lee Min Ho-session yesterday. For the first time ever, I finally witnessed women's bitchiness. The girls were pushing perpetually just to get a glimpse of the Korean actor. I was 2 floors above the stage and the worst was, I couldn't even get to have a good look at his visage, only his well-groomed hair and of course, his head. Not that I go gaga over him. In fact, I knew virtually nothing about him until the day before yesterday where I goggled him (under Jane's suggestion). Thought this might be a perfect opportunity to broaden my *cough* general knowledge? I have never been to an event of this mode. So... that explains my eagerness. Okay, back to Mr.Lee - He was very tall indeed but when I discovered that he is of a 185 cm stature, I was taken aback cause I thought he would be like 190-odd cm (Jane brought up that figure).

I'm not too sure he looks this handsome upclose. Let's hope that he does.

Korean version of a Japanese manga, Boys over Flowers. Still think the Taiwanese version is the best cause that was the only version I have watched.

I think the worst part was the malice exhibited by the organisers. They did not even allow the fans to shake his hand, only posters were allowed to be presented on the table to be signed by him. There were times when some over-zealous fans were trying to reach out to his hand, and he equally reciprocated the intention, this black-jacketed bodyguard pull the fans over like nobody's business. How cruel!!! How could you do this to those who have waited for him since before lunch time. Mind you his session didn't start until 6pm. And the posters could only be obtained if you purchase Etude house's (the brand he was endorsing) products amounting above RM50. It was just a pity that he could only leave his autograph for like less than 30 posters before he signed off. As I was walking towards the exit, I heard flocks of complains thrown at the organisers with regardCheck Spellings to the number of posters which were allowed to go through the largely-built guards. I could finally come to terms with the strictness of the organisers today when I was browsing through the internet. Little did I know, the very event supposedly held in Singapore was cancelled due to the over-crowding of the fans in the local plaza that they started pushing the journalists in front of them which eventually called for the cancellation. No wonder the hosts were asking us to BEHAVE (as if we are 5 year olds). But still.... we're no Singaporeans, okay?!
