Getting to see Rain twice in a month's time is something that I would have never thought would happen to me.
{For some reason it was more difficult for me to write this account. I was struggling with what tone I should take with it. The show was outstanding like usual but the ruckus some "Fangirls" had caused was enough for me to be ticked off. Also with Rain enlisting today I wanted a more lighthearted account. So right now I'll just start typing and see where it goes~}

Of course I had to take pictures of Rain in the Adidas store looking like he's only 23. :p |
For about an hour we walked all over the area trying to find me a Jimjilbang to stay at. Because of the area we were in, instead of Jimjilbangs there were "Love Motels" with names such as "Touch Touch Hotel", "Lexy Hotel", and a hotel with white light effects running down the side. Needless to say I didn't sleep at that motel. I instead opted for a motel in the same area, still a love motel, but it was cheaper and not as scary. We decided the night was still young so went out into the streets to find something to do. Patrice kept saying how she wanted to try out a DVD 방 (bang) and told us about all the crazy stuff that happens in them. A DVD 방 is a place were you pay about 10,000 to 20,000 won to pick out a DVD of your choice and get a private room to watch it in (with whom ever you want). So after scanning a few movies all our eyes set on none other than "Ninja Assassin". lol How befitting right? Word to the wise: Never get women in a room to watch a movie where the main characters shirt is off for more than half the movie. Especially if that character is played by a sexy beast named Jung Jihoon. The saying goes what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Well the words spoken in a DVD 방 should stay in a DVD 방. Let's just say we thought of our own version of Ninja Assassin entitled "Ninja Assin" with Rain as the LEADING MAN. I'm sure it'd be a blockbuster and crave to the hearts of many of women around the world!
After watching that movie with all Rain's hotness oozing from the screen and us laughing our heads off with jokes, we thought it be best to call it a night. It was about 11 pm and we were planning to be at the Rain concert all day Sunday so it'd be best to get our beauty sleep. HA! Who said New York was the only city that never sleeps? Seoul is the city that never sleeps! As soon as we stepped foot out that building it was bright lights and hundreds of young adults on the street. The 3 of us looked at each other and burst into laughter. There was NO way we could go to sleep. Next thing you know we were on our way to 노래방 (Noraebang aka Korean Karaoke). Patrice belted out India Irie, Enshea took on Celine Dion, and I opted for some Rain, R.Kelly, Super Junior and Kriss Kross. "Love Song", "Love Story", and "Hip Song" were my chances to show 비 my heart. Did you guys know that R.Kelly's song "Ignition" is the FUNNIEST song ever to sing. It is my new ritual Karaoke song. lol So after butchering Super Junior's "Mr. Simple", destroying the lyrics but getting the members voices right for their parts in 2pm's "Hands Up", and cracking up at Enshea and Patrice's rendition of Sistars "So Cool", our hour was up and it was time to get ready for the big day!
(Enshea and I's new saying now is to just bust out in a loud voice and say "Sistar!" lol)
The check out time for the "love motel" I stayed at was 9 am (which is too early) so I woke up around 8:30 am even though I didn't get to bed till 1:30 am. I had on my favorite Japanese Newspaper printed Betsey Johnson dress that unfortunetly the ink bled and ran even though it said handwash. I was so upset because I wanted to wear it but with it running it just made the dress look like an OLD Japanese newspaper. lol I have to go with whatever works.

After a morning of browsing the streets and shops I waited at Sindorium station to meet up with the others. The first person I saw Enshea who informed me that none of the others were coming. Muah? It was 1 pm and and we were all going to ride to the show together. I personally had wanted to get there at 10 am to wait in line but decided on the scheduled time everyone was comfortable with. Instead of complaining (cause you all know I wanted to) Enshea and I rushed down the subway stairs to catch the train to Samseong Station. We got there at 2 pm and Lord Have Mercy: the line was A BLOCK LONG. My mouthed dropped and I was so frazzled I didn't know what to do. OMG. Does this mean that there's a chance I won't be able to see my Rain?! WHAT! We decided to ask some girls in line that looked like they spoke English. The young woman from Europe told us that there was a notebook that went around where everyone in line had to put their name and number on it if they wanted a ticket. Again my mouth dropped and my stomach sank. The line was so long that when we tried to walk to the front of it we just stopped and turned around. There was no use walking an entire block down to see where the line started. The woman that we spoke to was number 500 something.
When we finally found the end of the line and secured our spots a young woman and her husband and daughter lined up behind us. She was also trying to figure out what was going on. Her name was Jessica from Texas. Her husband was in Korea for the Army and she was staying in Korea until December. She was a huge Rain fan and it was her first time going to his concert. We chatted about the frustration of the venue constantly being changed and how we loved the Cloud USA site so much because it allowed us US fans to keep up with Rain. Since she said she was an avid reader I had asked her if she saw my first pinkfashionninja fan account of the Rain concert that was on Sept 24th. She jumped up and replied "Yes Omg! That's you!" She had checked out the post and read my blog before. It was such a great a feeling to know PFN was getting out there. Jessica was actually the second person that weekend that said they had heard of my blog. (Yeah making progress!)
While we chatted, Jessica's husband had journeyed to the never ending front of the line to figure out what was going on with the tickets. The news he brought with him was not something to make my heart or stomach feel better. Someone told him that supposedly there were people who had "reserved tickets" and if you didn't have one "reserved" you might not get in. How in the world these people knew about these supposed "reserved tickets" I'm not sure. Eventually we found out the "reserved ticket" thing wasn't true because if it were, people that had come later would have been able to get in front of us. In regards to needing a ticket: even though it was a free concert, because of the limited space in the standing areas in front of the stage everyone had to have a numbered wristband to enter. So it really was on a first come, first serve, first to be closest to Rain, type of thing. A few hours later the lines were being broken up to form new lines in accordance to our wrist bands. We were in section D and I was number 106.

Like my fancy concert chart I created?! |
Nice butt rain.
I took the above pics with Jessica's IPhone because her zoom was WAY better than my freaking phone. The ones below are ones I took with my phone.
It was awesome to see the man in "business man zone" making sure everything was in order and flawless. One thing that was weird was one of the reporters asked me and Enshea what are favorite body part of Rain was. I was a little shocked at the question to be honest. I mean I adore every part of Rain don't get me wrong but I am a grown woman so me screaming "I love Oppa's Arms!" isn't befitting. lol I responded that yes I did discover him through Ninja Assassin with his banging body, but it was his background that really brought me to him. I felt like a dummy but I actually responded that it was his mind I was most attracted to. I mentioned about him getting his Masters degree and with doing that he's showing that he's not just looking at the present, but his career and well being in the future. {Aww look at my Miss America perfect answer lol)

The poster I stole from the Samseong Area. I could only get the arm though because all the Ajummas beat me to the one with him on the other side. |

At least I got an ARM! "Oppas arm is so sexy!" Bwahaha |
Oh course the concert was amazing and Rain tore it up! It wasn't as emotional for me this time because being able to see him earlier practicing in such a close proximity, it kind of calmed my nerves and I was able to relax and enjoy the show. I was so honored to be able to attend the show. I thank Rain for being so kind and generous and giving us fans a last chance to see him as "RAIN" before he has to be only "JUNG JIHOON" for two years straight. I was surprised that Rain didn't make this show emotional like the Rain The Best Show on Sept 25. I felt he kind of rushed off stage at the end compared to his other concert. I think it might have been really emotional for him but because he was an ambassador for the festival and it was suppose to be a fun family event, he kept it short and sweet. You saved me some serious tears Jihoon, for real :)
I think it's best to just keep this post light and happy so please check out my Youtube Videos where I go WAY MORE indepth on the craziness that are "fangirls." I don't think typing the experience would be able to top my reactions in the videos lol. After the show Ajummas and young girls were sneaking backstage and someone ripped the side of Rains tent/dressing room and he had to dart away without being able to say bye to the fans who were acting sane like ME and wanted to see him. I would like to request no more free concerts from Rain because it seems to be an open invitation to crazy witches who "think" that they are fans to come and topple over children and people. Anywho here are the links. Hopefully this fan account gave people who were not able to attend insight of the monumental night. Thanks so much for reading and PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO PINKFASHIONINJA!

Some pictures from Jessica's camera where you can see how close we were!
*Looks like he's thinking* "I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, too sexy it HURTS!" lol
We love you Rain. We are waiting your return. I love you, I will always love you and 2 years will go by quicker than we think. I thank you for being an amazing person. Just remember.....
"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are CLOUDS in the sky
You'll get by........"
Hey girl, I just came over from Cloud USA to check out your entire blog post. The pictures are amazing and like I had already mentioned on the Cloud USA site I loved the videos as well. Love your personality and I will definitely be subscribing to your blog/YT....*hugs*
ReplyDeleteThanks so much babe!!!
ReplyDeleteI deeply appreciate the support! I was happy my phone didnt die when the show started like before but sure enough right before the show was over it wanted to die. lol But at least this time I was able to get some pics of the amazing MAN. lol
Thanks so much for subscribing and God Bless!
Hi! I'm from Houston, TX and I was watching your youtube rant about the last of the best concert and you made me laugh! I am so jealous that you guys got to see him!!! If only I had the money I would've totally flew over there and supported him! I'm a huge fan of his just recently (Don't know what took me so long to get back into K-Pop and notice Rain). So sad that I became a fan only two weeks ago and now he is enlisting!!!! T-T Can't wait for his return! Thanks for sharing your blog and youtube with us!!! I almost felt like I was there!
ReplyDelete@nonmysushi
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm so happy you enjoyed the account and videos. Rain will be in the US soon so you won't even have to get a plane ticket because he will be right in your town performing! Yeah (Crossing my fingers lol)
I feel like it doesn't matter the time frame for when you became a fan. All that matters is that you are. But I do understand you how he's now leaving right after you became a fan. I've only been for 2 years and I still feel like I didn't get much time to see him.
Let's just continue to keep Jung Jihoon aka Mr. Rain's legacy continuing flowing as he is vigorously serving his country.
Thanks so much for commenting and I hope you visit my blog often!
