Official Fanclub??

Double post!
Hehehehehe...

I am thinking about making a post about an official fan club since a long time ago, but because this is also a new thing to me, so i will try to explain this to you now. I actually just apply and become an official fanclub of some of my bias group recently, so yeah, i also new about this.

When i was still in Indonesia, i don't freaking care about this. I don't even know what Cafe Daum is. For you who still don't know what Cafe Daum is, go and google it! Just kidding. Basically, all entertainment company share the information about their idol in Cafe Daum. Or Daum Cafe? Oh what ever it is. This place is kinda blog, where company and fans can communicate and share an information. To make it simple, cafe daum is my life saver. But, its all in Korean. Except for JYP entertainment, i followed Got7 and 2PM cafe daum, and they have a very good bilingual information. But for VIXX and Infinite... em, don't even hope.

So, to be able to open your idol bias cafe daum you need to first of all create a Daum ID. Search for some tutorial in google, cause i am not gonna provide that. I am only gonna explain the official fan club.

If you following the idol cafe daum, its not automatically you become an official fanclub member (just like what i thought at the beginning). This official fanclub membership application period only will be open in some certain period so you need to be aware of it. The information about when you can apply will be posted in the cafe daum, or you can wait until fanbased master-nim provide an information about it.

What is the benefit then?
Well, if you are living in Korea, you have so many benefit, like a first priority to the music show, access to the all information in fancafe, sometimes, free showcase ticket. They also conduct some special events only for the official fanclub member. You also will have some priority to buy a concert ticket in Korea.

But if you live overseas, its only a great card with your name on it, also some merchandise, but, if you a real fans, you will feel proud to be the official one wherever you are, right?

How to buy it?

Some huge company like JYP entertainment, Cube entertainment, and Woollim Entertainment (this is what i know, but maybe the other do it to) use interpark. This is the easiest one, because we have a global interpark for international fans, or foreigner living in Korea who are not speaking any Korean. But for VIXX official fanclub, they are using Auction, which are a bit confusing and become a pain in the ass for some international fans.

How much is it cost?

Mostly around 18.000 to 25.000 KRW, never know any official fanclub which more expensive than 25.000 KRW.
So, thats it! I hope this post can help you understand what is the official fanclub really is. Because for me its also a bit confusing and complicated at first, why some people are official and some not. So if you have a question, just ask me. In English or Indonesian, either is fine for me.

Pyeong!!


Falling in Love with Autumn Ever Again

Hello,

Super freezing winter is finally come to Seoul and take away my super beautiful Autumn. Its kinda sad, but earth need to rotating and the season need to change. Time to let it go.

I am falling in love with Autumn at the first sight. My first Autumn last year was a blast. As an Indonesian, i never know that the trees can change its color and be this beautiful. I never know that the wind can be so cold but it makes me calm. I never know that the falling leaves can heal your soul. I never know.

BUT! Autumn in Korea is not just about the changing weather and trees color for me. Its about the time to explore.

I will list some reasons why i really freaking love Autumn in Korea.

Its the Time to Visit Nami Island
You don't know about Nami Island? Oh really? Go and search it! This island is not practically island. Its located in the middle of the lake in Chuncheon Province. Not even Seoul. Its about an hour or two from Seoul. This island is getting popular because of the Winter Sonata. The drama filming in this island, i didn't watched the drama tho, but they said, they said. 

If you want to see the Korean version of Autumn, go to Nami Island. This place have every trees color, have a beautiful scenery. You can rent a bicycle and cycling around the island. To tired? Bring your own mat and food, do picnic. Forgot to bring a food? Just buy it there or get lucky enough (like me) to have some random people sharing their food with you.


Red color trees~


Look at those beautiful falling leaves :)


  
Yellow~


I can't asked more, the yellow leaves just the gorgeous one!


Oh i also met this little fellows in Nami Island :D

Second, Its a Good Time for Walking
I love love love walking! But i can't walk a lot when i was in Indonesia, its too hot, and i will all sweaty after just 10mins walk, and the pollution is no joke either. Right? But in Autumn, you can walking alone with your ipod playing your fave music while enjoying the cool breeze and beautiful scenery around. Why not? 

I used to walk to school in Autumn, cause my school is the best during Autumn. Also try to walk in Children's Grand Park. BEST! 

And its the beginning of the new semester!
New semester, new friends, new activities. Actually in every beginning of semester Indonesian student organization here also have a meet up. Its always fun to meet my fellow Indonesian friends. Also we have MT and opening party and IR party hoaaaaah who can resist a free food?!

Festival, once again FESTIVAL! Comeback! Concert!
Em, well, this might be a good reason for all KPOP fans out there to love Autumn in Korea. Festival my friends, what i mean here is the FREE festival. Oh yeah! Autumn is the right time for some free university festival, free regional festival, even free even festival with idols everywhere~

How about the comeback? Well, major huge idol made their comeback at the end of Summer to Autumn, they are freaking everywhere! There is a time when i was walking from cityhall and about to go to Cheonggyecheon river to read some books, and at that time i saw 4 stages. Not even one, and not two, its four! And it ends up i watched BTS, BTOB, T-Ara, IU, and more at that day.

JYJ at Gangnam Festival


JYJ for free sis!

Concert, hmmm... 
I miss almost every concert this Autumn tho, due to my packed schedule and crazy school. But still, Summer to Autumn, heaven of concert!

Rather of all those things above, there are still a lot of good reasons to fall in love with Autumn in Korea. For me, its mostly because of the very friendly temperature (about 10-18c) that makes your mood very good and your body very light.

Whats your opinion about Autumn in Korea?
Me?

LOVE IT!
