The following is the account of a friend who was invited and attended Kim Hyun Joong's Breakdown Showcase held in Seoul, South Korea last June 7, 2011. I told herto document her experience in a blog so that people who love Leader will know that he is truly famous and not to say, talented. Her words will describe how it was to be present at such a historic time in Leader's life and times. Enjoy the read. I take a back seat, and allow her to tell it all as she witnessed it all:
June 08 - Seoul Korea,
we just arrived from soeul, last night and it was was one of our memorable trip. Do U know why? Please let me share my experiences ;
Me and daughter have flown to Korea to witness the Breakdown Showcase., the 4,000 capacity was full and we got a standing ticket , we were surprised when we enter the gymnasium the standing position corner was located at the very front of the stage. The stage is like big letter T. we were there at the end part of the stage.its only about 2 to 3 feet away from the stage I feel like collapsing while waiting for Hyun Joong to come out . The atmosphere was very festive everybody was happy even the overseas fans are starting to mingle with the koreans we also did, even if we just say simple english word we could understand each other.and exchange smile when we utter the name hyun joong, When the stage turned the lights on everybody was screaming already, fan light sticks of U:ZOOSIN was lighted all over the gymnasium. And when Hyun Joong came on stage , and while everyone was screaming, i was just there standing and looking at him, i felt that my tears are just about to fall,,, believe me guys, he looks like an angel ,. my eyes are only for him my daughter was screaming also, he immediately sang three songs from the album breakdown with fantastic and hot dance moves.... after that he sang "One more time" themesong from Mischievous kiss..on that song my tears just kept on flowing .after that he greeted us with all the smiles although i do not understand what he is saying based on the fans reactions i know that he told something great about his fans., and this moment, he waves and looks in every corner of the gym looking upward from his left, to middle to right side and looking down at the standing corner from his left again to middle and right side, when he look down to the place where me and my daughter was standing, i just could't do anything but stare him and i saw through his eyes the sincerity of his heart he truly loves his fans i wave the uzoonsin fanlight and whisper to him "saranghaeo Hyun joong God Bless you", after this Young Saeng and Kyu Joong appeared on the stage holding a lighted birthday cake for KHJ, we all sang Happy Birthday to leader, Kim Hyun Joong, after the song he blew the candle.
There was a few answer and question portion with YS and KJ, after that they left already.
The next part , was the most heartbreaking moment for me, KHJ read a letter for us,, his fans
he is standing in front of 4,000 people who loves him and start reading his letter on the middle part his stop for a while and seems controlling his tears, i was there standing on his left side just about 2 to 3 feet away , i saw his nose became red, sign that he is really reading from his heart we felt his pain and fears many of us there gathered begun to shed tears also as he goes along reading his letter i heard some saying saranghaeo hyun joong and other koreans words that im sure were comforting words for him , after reading the letter he sang THANK YOU , everyone was singing with him with tears on our eyes, a portion of the stage lifted him while singing as he is being lifted and looking him from above, the lights reflected on his face and i saw a very sincere, and kind person, and my tears just kept on flowing same with other fans , when the song ended, he waved to us with all his smile and the stage was all in dark it seems that the show has been ended.
The 4,000 fans did not move at all to leave instead, they kept on calling his name with our U:ZOOSIN fan light stick on repeatedly KIM HYUN JOONG, KIM HYUN JOONG repeatedly,countlessly, fans never gave up until finally the stage turned on the lights again and KHJ returned to the stage and gave us a GREAT FINALE. as he sings and dance, the fans sings and dance too it was really a festive and party mood that night. Hyun Joong ended up the showcase with a great great songs from the album and gave us all perfect smile. and wave to us good bye with words from him KAMSAMIDA Everybody went out with a Happy feeling, satisfied , and by surprised, we even saw him inside his car upon his departure from the venue when spotted us his fans going down from the gymnasium he immediately open the window of his car widely and again wave to all us with a GREAT AND PERFECT SMILE.
On board on a taxi way back to the hotel, my daughter said,,, mommy Kim Hyun Joong is not only singing and dancing for us. he also share his heart to his fans. He cares for us, i saw it in his eyes.
These words melt my heart how come , my daughter and i have one thoughts.
That was a night to remember for the rest of our lives. I'd like to thank the Korean fans who dearly love KIM HYUN JOONG, please continue to support and love him. He is worth loving for the 4,000 attendance only proves that KIM HYUN JOONG has been successfully launched his first mini album.Congratulations!
I'm calling also all the fans to unite for the sake of KIM HYUN JOONG because truly enough i witnessed myself in my own very eyes , KIM HYUN JOONG is worth loving for. No matter what they say i truly don't care after seeing him last June 7, He will be now part of our daily prayers for his guidance and success , as our dear friend , as member of our family.
As our plane take off we wave goodbye to Korea, but NEVER say goodbye to KIM HYUN JOONG because he will be forever lives on here in our heart.
Once again Thank you KHJ for the gift of joy that you have brought to me and to my daughter and to all 4,000 fans who attended your showcase.
Take away all your pains and fears, many of your fans are praying for you.
Many will put you down but don't give up just go on and continue to give joy to everyone, continue to smile because it is the way to your supporter's hearts. Job well done KIM HYUN JOONG! Fighting!
I hope to see you again but this time i wish , here in Manila.
My God Bless you more and more.!!!
