Jonghyun 좋아 Showcase

Long time no write! I'm really excited to write a blog post about Jonghyun's showcase last night because was such an unexpected surprise. For some context, Jonghyun's first full length album is out this week and last week SM announced Jonghyun would be having a showcase Monday 23rd before the midnight release of the album. The thing with showcases is they're notoriously very difficult to get into. SM basically did this bizarre thing where they did ticketing via yes24 and then selected only 250 of the 500 people who got tickets. When I first saw this I thought I wasn't reading properly but then I remembered the shit show of people scalping tickets for hundreds of dollars for Taemin's showcase and realized this was a round-a-bout way of SM discouraging scalpers no doubt.

Save the Green Earth

Kim Kibum's newest project gets a 10 out of 10, would do again rating from me~ Key's performance of Byeonggu in Save the Green Earth debuted April 12 here in Korea and man was it a rough ride. This play is really confronting and then hysterical in the same breathe so I found myself getting a bit of emotional whiplash from all the insanity on stage. 

Things I took away from Key's The Moment lecture

This is another post I wrote a long time ago and never made public because I didn't finish a conclusion. I wrote it in November the day after Key's The Moment fashion lecture. I'm posting it now because Key is just...I had such a hard time putting into words how humbled and inspired and emotional I felt after hearing him speak at this lecture. It was such a special event and I often think about things he said at this when I'm feeling discouraged or down and need something to keep me going.

Taemin Fanmeet

Taemin promotions for Press Your Number are over. Which is a little surreal and sad because just yesterday we were lightheartedly saying we were looking forward to resting now that promotions are over and now I wish we were going to more promotions this week.

SHINee 7th Anniversary Picnic

Prefacing this post: I wrote a large portion of this the day of SHINee's 7th Anniversary Picnic cruise after I got home and rather than editing it I'm just going to leave as it is and then add on the end ^.^ Here we go:

The Story by Jonghyun Epilogue

It's been such a long time since I've written here! I started writing something about Key's The Moment lecture but I was suddenly swamped and never finished. Hopefully I can dedicate some time to writing that up later. In any case, here we are post Jonghyun's Epilogue concert! As many of you already know, Jonghyun performed 12 solo concerts back in October titled The Story and this weekend just gone he put on an additional 5 shows which brings his total to a phenomenal 17 shows worth of joy, misery, wonder and just plain old emotion.
