OOOOOH yesssssss today was so amazing!
So international Crayon Pop fansite crayonpop.me organized a short fanmeet in LA for Crayon Pop on the day of a Lady Gaga concert and it was amazing!
Like those short little fanmeets you might have seen in Korea after shows and such, it was quite similar to that.
So the fans was set to meet up at 12:45PM so we could go through the handshake process like what you can do and not do and how the line formation would be. So yeah go through that, and Crayon Pop event was supposed to start at 1:30 I think, but it got delayed a bit. Anyway, Crayon Pop eventually makes their way to the meeting room and fans getting loud wooo!!! haha Crayon Pop said some short messages in Korean and got those bits translated. Had a slight awkward at the beginning because no one translated for like a second or two (he was getting his mic ready I believe...). So after that, handshake line formation begin!
I had to wait near the end to get my handshake because I volunteered to help with recording the event (all I did was press the record button lol). Anyway, my brother and I set up a plan so he'd record me getting my handshake and then later I'd get him to record
. I didn't plan to say anything specific to any of the members, I decided to just go with the flow.
So yea my turn comes up, first up was Choa! I approach her to shake her hand, first thing she says to me "oh handsome". She probably says every guy is handsome
. Anyway, I reply "Hah thank you, you are very cute ^^". And that was the end of that, I really didn't know what to say plus gotta keep the line moving
.
Next up is Soyul! I think I asked her how LA was or something? I can't remember how she responded but it was in English!
Moving on to Ellin! I noticed a pimple on her face...ALMOST pointed it out to her lol but obviously I don't want to embarrass her
. I simply asked Ellin how she was...How'd she respond? "I'm fine....*pause* *thinking* and you?" Hahaha
. I respond back I'm good! Might have said some other thing, I don't really remember >_<
Geummi time! I shake her hand, she asks me how old I am. I respond 26. She thinks I'm 26 KOREAN years. So I'm like noo no, I was born in '88 (in simpler english, she had a translator anyway). And I tell her we same-aged friends! Lol. And she was like ooh ooh, offered her hand to shake again
. Then ended it off with giving her a high 10?
Last but not least Way! She grabs my nametag and asks ooh (my nametag said arrgh) aarrr. She asks me "How do you say your name?" I think she was referring to my nametag so I said aRrrrgh. Then I ask her "oh, my real name?" I don't think she understood really, she just nodded. And I'm like Ariel (pronounced Are-Yell). She tries to say it like twice? I correct her those two times and she sort of got it down the last time! Afterwards she said it was difficult to say
And that's how my handshake went with each member
But wow uplcose these girls look so good! Soyul was especially cute looking
After all the handshakes were done, some gifts were given to Crayon Pop and also a message book for their 2nd year anniversary. They said their goodbyes and Way's was especially cute. She said "We'll be back" and proceeded to put her thumb in the air and and imitate the terminator movie
Next on this list was the Lady Gaga concert with Crayon Pop as opening act wooo!
I had pretty good seats, got full front view of them, did not take any fancams of this as the lighting was terrible for a camera phone. Yeah pretty much typical crayon pop performance. I loved hearing their rehearsed English lines hehe.
So after Crayon Pop was done, me and several other Crayon Pop fans left in hopes to see Crayon Pop hop onto their bus and go back to their hotel. Soo yeah...turns out they wouldn't be coming out any time soon and that they had a special stage with Lady Gaga. So we ended up waiting like a few hours for a very quick glimpse of Crayon Pop after the concert ended lol. But wow Ellin had a very nice outfit on! It kinda got a little crazy out there...cuz everyone from the Gaga concert was starting to get to their cars too woops! As Crayon Pop got onto the bus the fans chanted Pop! Pop! Keu Rae Yong Pop! hehe
I got some videos I'll post it later...
