Hai semua! Harap semua sihat belaka dan baik saja. ^^
Okay so hari ni aku nak cerita tentang drama Korea!! Hehe my favourite things. Tajuk ni sebenarnya aku dah fikir lama jugak and so... here we are! This is mostly like just MY POINT OF VIEW and I wanted to share why I like Korean dramas (and movies too maybe..). So bear with me, panjang sikit entri kali ni hehe.
Even previously during my practical training, ada seorang science officer ni tanya aku, "Kenapa suka drama korea eh?" Ahaa, now let me tell you in details.
Oh also to be noted, at times maybe aku akan compared korean drama dengan lokal drama sini so, no offense but only fact. Hehe.
So persoalannya, apa yang best sangat drama Korea ni :-
1. Pelakon Handsome dan Cantik
Okay, tak dinafikan ni antara sebab UTAMA tengok drama korea hahahahaha. Alaaa sama je macam korang tengok drama melayu, mesti ada pelakon yang korang suka nak tengok dalam drama kann. Macam Alif Satar, Nelydia Senrose, aku suka hehehe. Jadi sama je.
Kalau yang minat kpop pulak, minat idol group, another reason to watch (BTW KPOP AND KDRAMA ARE DIFFERENT THINGS OKAY). Contoh idol actors yang top, Yook Sungjae BTOB, Cha Eunwoo ASTRO, Park Jinyoung GOT7, Park Hyungsik ZE:A, Rowoon SF9, Jung Eunji APINK, IU, Suzy MISS A, Yoona SNSD, dan ramai lagi la. So biasanya yang idol ni memang fan dia akan tengok la kan. Cuma... tbh tak semua idol okay berlakonnya. I mean kadang tu ada yang baru berlakon tapi dah dapat lead role macam tak nice dan fair la kot kan. They should start from small role to get experience. Tapi tak nak la cakap pasal tu.
Yang bukan idol pun ramai, bukan setakat handsome dan cantik, tapi sangat berbakat. Bagus gila. π Antara pelakon yang top or yang aku minat; Kim Seonho (fav ramai sekarang ni termasuk aku, meletops π), Park Seojoon, Jung Woosung, Lee Dongwook, Lee Dohyun, Song Kang, Shin Haesun, Son Yejin, Park Boyoung, Moon Gayoung, Kim Soohyun, dan ramai lagi.
Jadi bagi aku, pelakon antara sebab aku tengok drama la. Ada pelakon yang aku suka ke, handsome ke, tengok la. Tapi! Depends juga. Kalau lead dia handsome tapi berlakon hmm ke laut, mungkin tengok tak tengok. Also depends on the storyline, and character. Kalau ada karakter yang aku macam tak boleh tengok or annoying, so might end up I won't watch it. The character ya, NOT the actor.
2. Storyline Best!
Like seriously, most of their dramas are so good and their storyline are just different! Storyline diorang berbeza untuk setiap drama and maybe of course ada aje yang cerita macam lebih kurang sama je kan. Cerita korea ni kadang dia macam ada konsep(?), so kira memang different and cerita dia jadi lagi menarik.
Sebagai contoh, drama Start-Up. Drama ni berkonsepkan start-up business, yang mana menceritakan kisah mereka yang buat start-up business, permulaan business, development of the business, investment, competition, product idea, company details (shares, equity, liability, etc), dan macam-macam lagi. Dan daripada situ, masuk elemen-elemen lain seperti cinta, persahabatan, keluarga, dan lain-lain la. Jadi storyline dia cantik, memang ada cerita gitu. Tak cliche. Tapi biasanya mana-mana drama cinta cliche, cuma lain sikit la kan sebab setiap drama ada genre tersendiri π₯.
(Start-Up)
Contoh cerita lain yang storyline best macam Sky Castle, Penthouse (these two kinda tense story but best), Extraordinary You (different kind of story, a girl as comic's extra character, and 2nd lead syndrome auchh), It's Okay To Not Be Okay (rasanya about mental problem/syndrome macam tu, tak tengok habis hehe but people would agree this is one of the best drama).
(Penthouse)
Itu Korea punya drama. Kalau cerita melayu sini, hmm... Drama melayu banyak kisah cinta and mostly tak banyak beza pun storyline dia, quite cliche sometimes. Balik-balik cinta dua darjat, cemburu sebab orang ketiga, miskin jatuh cinta dengan kaya, konflik rebut harta, konflik cinta cliche, and the concept goes on. Kerja pulak memanjang kerja pejabat, business. Tapi mengaku la jugak ada cerita cinta yang cliche tapi okay la best jugak, cuma mungkin storyline boleh digarap menjadi lebih baik. Bukan sekadar cinta semata-mata.
TAPI memang ada je drama melayu yang best cerita dia, dan penceritaannya berbeza, tak dinafikan. Macam drama Mandatori, sumpah best dan storyline dia berbeza. Aku pernah tulis review kat entri sebelum-sebelum ni. Drama pendek tapi best dan lain daripada cerita melayu lain. Cerita pasal psikometrik kalau tak silap aku. Selain daripada tu, Gerak Khas, drama Mona (tv3) pun ada kelainan sikit. Ha, Paskal pun gempak weh. Best! Oh tapi tu movie la hahaha.
3. Pelbagai Genre
This is one of the best part in Korean dramas! They have most of every genre, I would say. Ada macam-macam genre yang boleh korang pilih. Thriller, horror, mystery, historical, medical, romance, family, teenagers, school, music, comedy, law, science-fiction, fantasy, and list goes on. Antara genre yang aku paling suka ialah medical, historical, science fiction, and also romantic-comedy. Kecuali romantik-komedi, yang lain-lain yang aku suka tu antara genre yang susah atau belum ada kat malaysia ni (I know it's maybe due to the production cost might be high).
Kalau drama korea yang melibatkan medical memang aku suka gila, walaupun tak semua drama medical aku tengok hehe. Tapi seriously, their medical drama like wow! The way they acting as doctors, nurse, physiotherapist, and others are sooooo convincing. Mungkin ada je part yang secara praktikal salah lakonannya tapi sikit jela aku rasa kot. Dan kalau ada pun kau macam tak nampak salah tu sebab nampak real. Dalam medical drama jugak diorang agak detail dan diorang akan letak caption meaning sesuatu term dalam drama tu. Contohnya, Arterial Blood Gases, apa maksud term tu dia akan masukkan as caption kat tepi. So at the same time the drama give us some knowledges.
Contoh medical drama; Descendants of the Sun (weiii all-time favourite doo), Romantic Dr Kim 1 & 2, One Poem A Day, Hospital Ship, Hospital Playlist, Dr John.
Historical. Korea ni diorang memang terkenal dan kaya dengan sejarah jugak. Korea masih ada lagi tinggalan bangunan bersejarah, macam diorang punya Palace. Ada era kerajaan Joseon, Baekje, Silla, Goryeo, dan lain lagi la. Aku ni pun daripada tak tahu apa dinasti yang Korea ada pun aku dah jadi tahu tau. Dia ada macam-macam storyline jugak la kalau historical dan aku memang suka.
Antara contoh drama historical yang aku tengok; Mr. Queen (hehe best wehh!!π), Scarlet Heart, Hwarang, The Tale of Nokdu, 100 Days Prince.
Senang cerita, kebanyakan genre cerita diorang best dan lain. Kisah cinta mungkin sama tapi bila korang tengok cerita yang ada konsep atau ada distinct genre (ex: medical, historical, law, business etc), kisah cinta yang cliche tu macam tak nampak sangat sebab dah cover dengan konsep/another genre cerita tu. So tak rasa cerita yang cliche.
4. Kajian dan Detail
Interesting part! Yang minat drama Korea mungkin perasan benda ni. Diorang punya cerita boleh dikatakan details dan ada kajian yang diorang buat. The writer or director (of course I believe actors too) did some deep research about the story, for example like medical story. Memang aku pun takla tahu sejauh mana diorang research tapi kalau korang tengok macam, wow. The drama would look so real. The medical and law terms. Contoh, simptom sesuatu penyakit, the pathophysiology of the disease. I'm sure, perkara medical ni bukan sesuatu yang senang-senang nak buat cerita dan difahami supaya nampak realistik. These medical terms. How they diagnose, tests, surgery, everything.
(click the pic. try watching this, notice the medical terms and the acting)
Dan daripada medical drama ni pun, kita boleh belajar banyak perkara sebenarnya. That is one of the thing that I like the MOST in medical drama. Even in the law drama, they are quite details. About the laws, the Acts, the Sections, and so on la idk (aku pun tak tau sangat law ni).
Even drama-drama biasa seperti romance, comedy, family, ada details dalam cerita tu. Dalam kebanyakan drama korea, pekerjaan karakter utama (biasanya) tu pun diorang make in details and real. For example a drama that I currently watching, "She Would Never Know". Drama ni kisah cinta tapi dia berlatarbelakangkan kerjaya sebagai brand marketer. Dalam cerita ni dia tak tunjuk yang marketer duduk office sahaja, pastu cerita cinta. NO. Dia masukkan macam mana kerjaya seorang brand marketer tu. Mungkin tak betul-betul details, tapi secara kasar boleh nampak kerjaya sebagai brand marketer. In-house inventory, door-to-door sales, target sales, product event, and so on. Bukan sekadar hiasan title pekerjaan sahaja. The writers and director make it in details and realistic.
Kalau cerita melayu aku tengok, balik-balik kerja office, pergi site, dah. Takde details sangat pun. Contoh kerja arkitek, tapi tunjuk duduk kat office memanjang. Bila meeting ke apa, terus jadi silence scene, letak background music. Dah. Mostly hanya fokus kat kisah cinta, kalau drama cinta la. Kerja doktor pun, cuma surface gitu je. Pakai coat doktor, stetoskop, cakap-cakap sikit, dah. Title pekerjaan tu seolah-olah hanya sekadar title aje, hiasan.
So bagi aku, kajian dan details ni macam menambah perisa kepada drama-drama ni semua. Jadikan lagi menarik dan berilmu gitu. Drama tu jadi more balance la. Agree? π
5. Kualiti Produksi
Kualiti memang antara terbaik la. Kalau ada yang tak tahu la kan, Korea ni sememangnya terkenal sebagai negara yang mempunyai teknologi tinggi.
Kualiti produksi diorang memang bagus. Macam Computer-generated imaginery (CGI), Visual Effects (VFX), Special Effects (SFX), memang gempak. Kalau tengok macam real. Contoh drama Alice, Goblin/The Guardian. All the effects looking so freaking real and amazing.
Also! Another BEST DRAMA with these effects, good production quality; SWEET HOME. Gempak gila wehh, sumpah best! Dia punya monster gila real wehh. SWEAR ITS ONE OF THE BEST DRAMA I EVER WATCHED. Short drama je, 10 episod tapi memang best! Dia pasal monster revolution from human, due to their desire. Tapi yela, dia punya produksi lagi hebat sebab dia collaborate dengan Hollywood team production so yeah. American animation kan memang top, macam cerita Marvel Avengers tu.
So that's all the reason. Mungkin ada lagi yang lain, tapi cukup la tu. Now, let's get into my K-Drama recommendation from me. But I will recommend the latest one only, since 2020 up to today. (btw ni bukan urutan paling best, just random)
Drama Recommendation
1. Start-Up
Hahaha yess, daripada awal lagi aku duk mention drama ni. Honestly, tak sure la untuk recommend hahaha tapi kalau nak rasa sakit hati, patah hati, dan jatuh cinta dengan Han Ji Pyeong, sangat la dialu-alukan. Dengan berbesar hati nak jemput korang masuk #TeamHanJipyeong π
Gurau je, but still that is true. Hehehe. Dan jugak kalau korang jenis berminat dengan cerita business start-up ni, boleh la tengok. Anyway, bagi aku best la. Tengok tau!
2. Sweet Home
WEHHH NI SUMPAH KENA TENGOK TAU! BEST DAN GEMPAK! ππ Tapi kalau korang jenis tak suka tengok darah banyak-banyak (macam aku, tapi tengok jugak), bukan peminat cerita monster ke, thriller ke, ikut suka la. Anyway memang best dan bagi aku, ni wajib tengok.
3. True Beauty
Haaa ini pun best gila dan kelakar wehh. Setiap episod confirm korang akan gelak tak kering gusi. Kejap sedih, pastu kejap lagi ada aje scene gelak. Storyline dan karakter dia semua hebat dan bagus-bagus. Kena tengok! Alkisah this one girl menggunakan make up untuk menjadi lebih cantik.
4. Mr. Queen
Untuk yang minat cerita historical, recommend cerita ni. Tapi dia bukan la banyak cerita history cuma background dia daripada zaman Joseon(?). Dan genre drama ni, romantik komedi so memang best dan kelakar wehh. Sumpah best, tengok please!
5. Find Me In Your Memory
Ni pun antara favourite drama aku tau! Bestt so please tengok okay? Hope kena taste korang la hehe.
6. Alice
Haa ini pun best gilaaaa! Kalau korang suka science-fiction, physics, time travel, mystery, boleh la tengok cerita ni. SUSPENSE. Cerita dia memang lain daripada yang lain. Memang macam illogical, tak real in real life, tapi nama pun cerita fiksyen. Cerita rekaan. So, tengok tau.
7. Mystic Pop-Up Bar
Aku pernah buat review drama ni, so kena tengok okay. Best, dia cerita more like, slice of life. Dia fantasy tapi ada cerita yang mana beberapa senario dalam ni berlaku dalam komuniti kita. Haa gitu la.
8. 18 Again
Drama ni pun KENA TENGOK. BEST! Aku ada review drama ni dalam entri aku sebelum ni, so please tengok. Dia more to family story, tapi memang best la bagi aku. π
9. Crash Landing On You
Okay, ini pun memang kena masuk list. Best gila! Kelakar pun yeee. Sumpah best wehhh hahahaha kena tengok. Alkisah wanita South Korea terlanding kat North Korea dan jatuh cinta. Best π
10. Romantic Dr. Kim 2
Ha, yang suka medical drama boleh tengok cerita ni. Best, tak tipu. Ni season 2 tapi kalau tak tengok season 1 pun boleh je faham. Sebab aku pun tak tengok yang first season hahahaha. Anyway, memang best so tengok la okay?
*Additional, Hospital Playlist pun best. hehehe.
Okay itu aje la rasanya. Banyak lagi drama best tapi kalau sambung memang takkan habis hahaha. So harap korang enjoy dan membuka minda kalian yang tak faham kenapa suka tengok cerita korea. Dia sama je macam cerita western, sebab diorang macam bagi another genre yang kita tak dapat kat malaysia ni. Dan bagi aku, kadang tu writer malaysia ada je cerita yang best tapi mungkin salah satu sebab the investment cost of the story maybe makan banyak bajet so yeah. Kalau tengok cerita korea tu, boleh tahan diorang invest duit untuk buat cerita tu. But still, even if kisah cinta, aku rasa writer malaysia boleh buat cerita yang lebih menarik lagi. And like I said, maybe add more details which will be more interesting and nice.
Walaupun entri ni bunyi macam aku sokong dan puji produksi korea (and admit there's little bad influence like for romance drama, you know..), tapi aku masih sokong produksi tempatan. I do acknowledge some of the malaysian dramas are getting better, and especially the movies, are improving and really good! ππ»
Semua ni hanyalah daripada pandangan aku semata-mata. Tak ada sebarang perasaan benci ke, nak banding-banding ke, saja nak tunjuk kelemahan ke apa. Ni pandangan aku yang mungkin korang setuju atau tidak setuju. So hope no offense but kalau aku ada salah cakap, just tell me.
Alright, that's all from me. Terima kasih sudi baca panjang lebar ni hehe. Kalau korang ada nak komen drama favorite korang ke, nak minta recommendation daripada aku, tanya je kat komen bawah okay?
Until we meet again. Thank you! πΉ

Hi hi I'm back! I know its been awhile... hahahaha. Okay anyway this time I have special title/topic which is, its PENTAGON COMEBACK! But before that, let me briefly introduce first who is Pentagon (since I think I never mention/talk bout them here beside btob). I'm sorry its about kpop but... whatever its my blog hehe. So, let's go!
PENTAGON π
This is PENTAGON.
Pentagon is a South Korean boy group idol which had debuted in 2016. They were managed under Cube Entertainment, same as BTOB. So they are like brothers. hehe. They consist of 9 people (10 at first) which is Jinho (currently in military service), Hui, Hongseok, Shinwon, YeoOne, Yanan, Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok. I will tell who is who later. Their fandom is called Universe π«, and I'm also a part of it! Hehehe.
That's so the briefly one. So recently, on 12 October 2020, they just made a comeback after their last comeback in Feb, Dr Bebe, and their participation in Road To Kingdom (RTK) (kinda like competition aka survival show).
For this comeback, they came out with a mini album called WE:TH which means WE (Pentagon) wiTH Universe. It comes with 6 tracks and all tracks were participated by the members. This just proved they are self-produced idols π (they sing live okay! no lipsync, please don't say korean singer can't sing, they are just like msian singers too. they have talent & great voice, as well as composing songs!)
Their concept image is so pretty π
Oh, its flowery concept actually (which is why it is called Daisy) but you can see that through individual concept image, where everyone is holding different flowers. Wait, I will put it here too.
[Upper left: Hui, Hongseok, Shinwon, YeoOne]
[Bottom left: Yanan, Yuto, Kino, Wooseok]
Here! They all holding different kinds of flowers which symbolizes various emotions. Something like that. My bias is Jinho but he isn't here,, so Hongseok is! hehe.
Here's another concept image! π₯
Okay stop it, I didn't come here to promote their concept image hahaha. I want you guys to know their amazing songs!
Okay before I tell you the songs, here the album cover which was drawn by KINO himself! Pretty, right?!
This is their tracklist! Well, I will tell since maybe you can't see it since the writing a bit small maybe.
TRACKLIST π΅:
1. Daisy πΌ (Title track)
2. Beautiful Goodbye
3. Nostalgia / That Year That Month That Day
4. You Like
5. Paradise
6. I'm Here (CD only - Jinho solo)
They participated in all songs production, they composed and write lyrics too!
I have listened to all (ok not all since the last track can only listen on cd huhu) and not gonna lie, I love them all! Especially DAISY πΌ of course! It's such a sad heartbreaking song π Some people said it has vibe like 2nd generation kpop like Beast and Bigbang (well, I don't know.. maybe). Anyway, I really love it and it also has catchy phrase the moment you listen to it! The music video is also amazing! And painful... π Oh they also have #Daisy_Challenge on TIKTOK! You guys can join too if you want hehe.
And another b-side track I love the most maybe Nostalgia. Because it has kinda ballad and relax vibe so I like that. And also! For You Like, believe or not, listen to the opening of the song, you wouldn't thought that song was that kind of song! Hahahahaha! It was like, you enter a cozy room but then suddenly someone cough and it turns the whole room into a rock concert πΈ! Hahahaha can you imagine that??
So, if you guys have a little even a little interest to listen to their songs, do check it out! You guys can search for pentagon daisy. To listen, you can click on Spotify here! Itunes also have!
LAST! HERE I GIVE YOU THE MUSIC VIDEO π¬!
CLICK PHOTO BELOW TO WATCH DAISY MV ππΌ
(you can turn on the caption to see the subs of the lyrics)
And I just included this here, some quotes from the mv.
Love burns everything, even myself, and fades away like a smoke when I look back.
Left here with pain and resentment, all I can do is muttering the lie that I hope for your tragedy.
If emotions were light, the pain of tearing each other apart would be a chaos of colors.
But when those colors come together, they shine brighter and brighter until they become a single white ray of light.
Emotions are petals, each with a different shade.
πΌπΌπΌπΌπΌπΌπΌπΌπΌ
Thank you for reading and hope you give interest on them! (or at least watch the mv heheπ).
Hello guys, I'm back here! Like I said in previous entry, I'm gonna share my experience about going to my first fanmeeting with my favourite Korean idol group, BTOB. Although its already been two weeks passed actually hahaha but I'm going to post it too anyway. I just got some time to write this entry. I don't even where to start first though because I think there's too much things that I feel I want to share huhu.
So, let's start with when I first came to the MITEC, the venue where the fanmeet was held. Oh wait, let me tell you the details again.
Event: BTOB In Malaysia 2018 (Fanmeeting) Date: 16th December 2018 (Sunday) Time: 5 pm Venue: MySpace Ballroom, MITEC Level 3
Ah, one more. I just want to show you guys the picture of them arriving at KLIA hehe. I was there too, waiting and welcoming them at the airport. I was truly excited haha since its really my first time doing this kind of thing hahahaha. They waved back at us, and they looked freaking handsome! We got to see them quite closely jugak la even the guards/polices keep pushing us away from them lol π
Hyunsik and Sungjae (my two lovely bias)
Changsub
Minhyuk and Peniel
These are my #TeamAirport for welcoming BTOB to Malaysia. There were also other melodies but we just met there at airport.
I want to share the video actually, but hmm its okay. I will share with you later the video (you can also find it youtube/twitter). So next, we go to the queuing part. Before que, of course we got to collect freebies first hahaha. Here are the freebies that I got to collect during the fanmeet.
These are all freebies that I got. That fan, we got from organizer, which means it is included in the ticket price. Oh and aside from freebies, some of them I got because I donated for btob event made by the malaysia fanbase like cupsleeve event.
One of my fav photo card π
I collected the tix on venue so that's where we collect the tix. with BTOB at the behind hihi.
That was the banner which was planned to be raised during beautiful pain song. And the ticket. My que number was 258 which actually quite far already but not too far. The highest que number I think its around 900-1000. So many melodies came, really. Since this is the last oversea show before changsub and minhyuk get enlist to military next year.
Typical concert photo maybe? Hahaha its really my first time.
This is the list of fans who got the Official Photo (OP) with BTOB. And guess what! I got it wuhuuu! I didn't expect anything but alhamdulillah, I got it. Later I will share the story.
My first love who bring me to BTOB and melody family. Without him, I won't even know BTOB hahaha.
Currently my ultimate bias other than sungjae. He kills me with his killer smile and eyes. Totally fall in love with him π
This kind of queuing according our que number. Luckily the organizer changed from free standing to free seating, kalau tak aku yang pendek confirm tak nampak hahaha. The centre part which the best one like of course la all the melodies had occupied it first so we just pick the rest yang okay la.
These were my btob team. So called #TrainToBTOB team hahaha. We were the freebies hunter π
My crazy #TrainToBTOB team π I got new friends through this team. Though we just know through whatsapp and just met them for the first time at the fanmeet day, but we got along together well. I'm glad we are. ( and we still have the group chat and it is so active π)
Alright so done queuing. Oh ya, actually we did have a bag checking before we enter the ballroom just to make we don't bring any prohibited things. Then after we got our seat, the first starter to this event is the VCR. Like an introduction video to this btob event.
This one.
After the VCR is done playing, the fans/melodies screaming loudly excited as the BTOB came out on stage and ready to sing the first song, Missing You (2017). This song is very famous and being one of the most people's favourite song. Its kind of a ballad song which gives healing to people's heart who listen to it. One of the reasons why I love their songs because it has soothing and healing vibes, the music also is not really like the trending song that is quite loud. I love all their various kind of music they produced π
Okay then, after the Missing You was over, BTOB said their greeting to melodies and introduced themselves one by one. It was really exciting moments to get to see them in real, listened to their live singing and their live greetings. Oh and for your information, Peniel is actually from Chicago so yeah he's good enough to speak English. But actually when the members talked in korea, most of us can catch up what they said hahaha and they quite surprised that we looks like understand what they said lol. Hello, we can understand a bit la hahaha, because like me I always watch kdrama and btob's videos so I also understand a little.
By the way, to be easy these are the list of songs that they sang during the fanmeet:
1. Missing You (2017)
2. Friend (2018)
3. Only One For Me (2018)
4. Its Okay (2015)
5. Please/Climax (2018)
6. Movie (2017)
7. Blowing Up (2017)
8. Beautiful Pain (2018)
9. Finale: Our Concert (2017)
And I'm truly glad that they really sing Please/Climax song that I really hope to be listen to lively. So Please song is really being sing by them live for the first time to melodies thats why I had that hope since its never been sing lively yet. I'm glad that I went to the fanmeet. I hope they would sing Someday too but they don't huhuhu. One of my fav song too.
After introduction has done, the BTOB continued the event by singing Friend and Only One For Me songs. Its totally good to hear their live singing. Only that the music was quite loud that the BTOB had to pull off their earphones. But anyway our fanchant was louder too kekekeke π
BTOB on stage. From left: Minhyuk, Hyunsik, Peniel, Ilhoon, Sungjae, Changsub.
Next, after the performance they introduced the MC for the night which was Hani from Erafm. She was good in emceeing the event smoothly (in english of course la and I guess they can understand a bit what she say although sometimes they would ask the translator or peniel to translate it. But mostly sungjae was the one who asked I think lol hahaha). She also taught them some Malay words. Hahaha I love this part because they looked so cute talking in malay ππ
Some of the malays words they learnt, in very cute style:
1. Saya saaaaaayang awak (I love you)
2. Saya lapar gila! (I'm too hungry)
3. Cepat sikit! (Faster)
4. Lek lu! (Calm down) - their favourite word π
5. Ah stress!
Actually these words were not being taught just at one time only. Its being taught throughout the event. I don't remember if there's any other words they learnt. And actually like "cepat sikit" and "ah stress" words, these were asked by Sungjae to Hani during the game session. Sungjae was REALLY HYPER throughout the fanmeet hahaha seriously I love him. ππ He is truly the moodmaker. ππ (can watch in the video later that I give)
So after the MC Hani has been introduced, its the game session. About the game session, we have "Melody's Wish" and "Guess 1 Second Song". Firstly, its 'Melody Wish' game session. So for this game, actually its not a game la. It was where the BTOB members granted the melodies' wishes from the notes they leave on board that the organizer prepared before fanmeet started. So the members chose one from the notes and granted the wishes. I regretted it sooooo much ahh why I didn't write back then π
And I still remembered that Peniel asked us if there was any melody who didn't wrote the wishes, which is that included me hahaha. Then he like, "ah why you didn't write on the board? why? why? Okayy, good jobbb" saying sarcastically to melodies who didn't wrote the wishes. Hahaha lol I love peniel π
Its gonna be a long story only for this session haha. Anyway I'm gonna make it short as I can. So, Ilhoon go first. Ilhoon chose melody's wish to do a dance battle between changsub and sungjae. Well, changsub win though I think sungjae's dance much better hahaha. Next is sungjae. So sungjae chose melody's wish to sing Hypnotized song (his duet song with Peniel) but then he himself forget the lyrics though π Then, peniel's chosen wish was the melody's wish to sing with BTOB. And he called her up to the stage, oh so lucky she is!
Minhyuk chose the melody's wish to say saranghae to her, also in malay which is, "airiel (I think so this is her name idk) saya cinta padamu". So lovely π Then hyunsik, he chose melody's wish to hear him singing to Frank Sinatra song, Moon Dance I think. His voice truly good I like it ππ As for changsub, he chose melody's wish to hear sungjae singing to chomp chomp song (that's how I heard changsub pronounced it hahaha). Actually its the song that recently Sungjae did a collaboration with Jung Key (famous composer in Korea), entitled Stay With Me.
After the Melody's Wish session, there was a lucky draw of the que number which the members picked and then they said them in such a unique way which is singing hahaha so cute! Then after that, they sang us song that have healing vibes and lyrics. It was 'Its Okay' and also 'Please' songs. The songs that I'd been waiting to be listen lively from BTOB π
Alright in the next session, we had the "Guess 1 Second Song" game. That's when we said that BTOB didn't know their songs because Hani asked us, "Do you think BTOB know their songs?". We said "Nooooo!!" Hahaha Then hyunsik and ilhoon said, we made them. Hahaha lol. So yeah, we played guess game, too long story to tell. Later watch the video maybe? But seriously, its truly fun because we have that BTOB and Melody interaction. ππ
After the game ended, they sang us the next songs which were Movie and Blowing Up. These songs really one of my fav because it has hype and party vibes hahahaha.
Then, it came to the saddest moment because its almost to the end of the event. BTOB said their farewell wishes/greetings to the melodies. Ilhoon said that they feel bad that they didn't come to Malaysia often and also they didn't come with Eunkwang (because he is in military right now). But Ilhoon said that BTOB is forever and asked us to wait until they are 7 members again. And they will come back to Malaysia with 7 members. πππ
Sungjae also said that they feel bad to come to Malaysia without eunkwang. Then he also asked us what is the famous food in Malaysia. Well, of course there's a lot of melodies saying lots of foods that he can't even hear anything hahaha. Then he just, "Ah okay okay, its okay. I search myself." Haha he gave up on our opinions because he can't barely hear anything π
So, here come to end. They ended their wishes and the fanmeet with their recent song from Hour Moment album which is Beautiful Pain. We, the melodies, can really relate the songs to the fanmeet as the fanmeet was really a beautiful moment where we can meet BTOB closely and listen to their live performance, but it was yet painful as the time flies so fast, and we don't even know when we will see BTOB again.
After they ended the fanmeet with beautiful pain song and went off the stage, the melodies together asked for an encore. We also sang to the Someday song, whereby this is kind of the moment that you would get tear up. π’
Then suddenly Peniel say thank you after we finished singing Someday and asked us, "Do you want an encore?" Well, definitely we said yes hihi π
So they gave us the encore where they came out back to the stage with roses on their hand and singing to the very last song, which was the Finale: Our Concert song. It was the happiest and saddest moments as we had to let them go.
After the last song, we had the 'Goodbye' session where we can say our goodbye to the BTOB closely (well its NOT REALLY CLOSE actually). They stand in front of the stage and waved us. They seemed tired, I know but they keep smiling and waving for us. I didn't even remember well what I see hahaha because it was REALLY FAST like only 2-3 seconds passed them (the organizer asked us to just walk faster saying goodbye which is of course most of us quite protest because it was too fast to say goodbye.)
I even said see you again someday but I didn't know if they heard what I said though lol. I think I remembered Ilhoon look at me holding the banner (hahaha well I'm not sure if he is REALLY look at me ππ but I know that he looked either me or anyone around me). I don't even remember if I got to look at Sungjae and Hyunsik because it was too fast, I just remembered that all of them waving just that π
Alright. So there is a present for me though, which is I would never expect to get since usually I don't get lucky to most of anything related to lucky draw. Yeah, it was the OP session that I got. I was really thankful and happy to get the OP session with BTOB. Although again yeah, it was REALLY FAST that we didn't get to say goodbye properly to them. The OP session got 4 trip so like 10 melodies per photo and I'm the last team up the stage.
I wanted to show the banner that has saying "All the Moments Together with 7TOB are Beautiful", but it didn't get picked (we took like 3 shots of the photo I think). And plus, it was really sad because I got to sit at the last chair (I mean belah hujungggg) with no one behind meeee so saddd π
Just know that they all waving to us the last team and I just remembered sungjae turn his body to my side, just like... looking, just like that. It was too fast that I can't even make any real eye contact with them π’
But yeah. We just think positively. They might actually had to rush, photo with the organizer team, getting their outfits changed, backstage farewell cake event for changsub and minhyuk (prepared by the Msia fanbase, B7OBMY), and also rushed to the airport for their flight that night. But anyway, its truly such a beautiful moment that I will cherished for the rest of my life.
So here you are! This is the Official Photo with my BTOB ππππ Really glad and happy I have this photo to be keep as memory with BTOB π(and see, I'm truly like at the end of the world π)
Here some of close up pictures of each members.
Then, here goes to the time for us to send our boys off at the airport. Sad to send them off, but they had really gave us special gift by having this fanmeeting with melodies in Malaysia and from others countries as well. It was truly a beautiful moment that we get by spending our time with BTOB, but yet painful as it feels like a short time, also Minhyuk and Changsub will be enlist to the military soon in January and February 2019. Surely we gonna miss you all boys! π
Here also some of the photos sending them off at the airport (I'm not there but kind of regret I didn't went there that time huhu).
That's all from me. Thank you for reading such a long story hahaha. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy reading and if there's non fans of kpop or non melody here, I hope you will be a Melody soon! Hahahaha. Oh and here the video that you can watch for BTOB In Malaysia 2018 (Can go to this link to watch better since the video below is small hehe). VIDEO 1 / VIDEO 2
Thank you! πππ
"Every moment of Melodies with BTOB is beautiful. BTOB is forever, and we will wait until BTOB are OT7 again."
