[Fan account] Hyunjoong @ Manila, Philippines by katkat1970 part 2
Credit: katkat1970@ Kimhyunjoong soompi forum
Hello!!! I don't even know how to start my next encounters with Leader. After my first fan account, I saw him again like 3 times more and I still feel like I was in Lalala Land.
My second encounter with the demigod...
Leader has a scheduled presscon yesterday and like the good children that we are, we stayed and kept quiet in our place while we wait for him in the lounge at the 4th floor of the hotel. I was with my TSPH buddies and one of them, Karren brought with her, her little girl which is also the same age with Iccy. And like Iccy, she's Leader biased and was even more a fangirl than us elders. To continue with my story, we have letters with us and small gifts that we really wanted to give to Leader but we didn't find the chance to do so, added the fact that Leader was heavily guarded with body builders thrice our size. The little darling held all our letters, a small pouch with a skull chain and guitar necklace and a doreamon keychain. When we saw that one body guard lined up in front of us and requested us to not take pictures of Leader, we decided to put our cameras inside our bag.
That's when we say the elevator door opened. He walked out from it, he will pass by us obviously because we stood and stayed close together as he pass by us, the little girl walked in front of Leader's path and I saw him smiled so cheerfully when he saw the girl. He bent down and took the stuff that she was giving to him. As he took the stuff smiling he pinched her cute cheeks. The little miss even gestured for a peck on the lips that's why he pinched her cheeks jokingly. Leader was so nice and cheerful, he walked very slowly and looked at our group while we called him "Leader" softly.
I was standing like 4 feet away from him and saw his beautiful face. He was really in a good mood and nodded at us. He was all smiles, that wonderful killer smile was real!]

Third encounter with Leader... At the Lobby before the fan meeting
Hours after the scheduled presscon, we learned that Leader ate dinner and again went up to his hotel room, don't asked me what floor and room number he was staying. This time more fans came, Joongbo Philippines was well represented, as well as Hyunnie Philippines was also present. We were waiting for him for the fanmeeting, I wasn't able to join the FM hehehehehehe. Again the body guards requested us not to take pictures, 1 guard stood in front of us and this time were around fifty people all lined up and very very quiet. We know that in a few seconds the elevator door will open once again and the demigod will come out.
We had the surprise of our lives! Leader walked very slowly and looked at our faces like he was remembering us from before. He gave a second look at our group and smiled at us, he remembered our faces!!! We again called his name, said "sarangaheyo Leader." He smiled once again and stick out his tongue like he was making cute gestures with us, my God! Leader's so fantastic and and kind, he was beyond words.
My fourth encounter and my own personal moment with Leader...
We were waiting for Leader to come out from the FM, he like stayed there for not more than 15 mins. As qued, one guard went again in front of us, we lined up once again and waited. I stayed at the far end of the line overlooking the elevator doors. When saw Leader, we kept our composure and didn't scream nor shout at his name. We were all starstruck and just called him "Leader... Leader" in which he smiled and looked once again. When he was like 2 - 3 feet away from me, he slowed down and liked stopped for five seconds. Leader was looking at me and my other friend Nerrisa. And when our eyes met, I just catatonically waved my right hand and called him "Leader... Leader... Hello." He smiled at me, I thought I died. He nodded and responded to me as I called his name softly. My knees buckled and I thought I am going to faint. It's been five years, I only see him on videos, pictures and magazines. I can't believe my own eyes that Leader Kim Hyun Joong was right there in front of me, smiling and nodding at me. This was unbelievable!!!
I think he knew that more fans didn't get the chance to be with him in the fan meet and I believe he took upon it himself to give us fanmeeting of his own even if it was just a mere 5 mins or less of his time. He was very very accommodating and generous, he was not the Leader that I often see on fancams, walking very fast with his head down like he was scared or something. I knew that he remembered our faces that's why he gave us the second look.
I can't remember how many times I cried after that, though I cannot share any pictures or videos of him in these accounts, I have kept everything in my mind and in my heart. These moments with our Prince of a Leader will be forever etched in my heart and I will never ever forget.
To add tid bits of infos on the fanmeet as shared by a few close friend of mine who attended, he was asked if he had a girlfriend, Leader's answer..." If I say no, would you believe me?"
The concert will be tonight, and I will see him perform live... I can't wait because this time I know I can share pictures.
Oh, I gave him a Van Hellsing action figure through the help of would you believe, THE MANAGER. My friend Apple saw MANAGER and she asked him nicely if he can pass the gift to Leader, THE MANAGER took the gift and said... "Yes, of course I can." And knowing Leader's love for manga and anime... I knew that he will loved it.

[Fan Account] Unexpected luck…Leader Overload Part 2 [100618]
Credit: http://liezle.blogspot.com
I could have been at the fan meet last night but I decided not to go anymore. But I wonder if I had been there what Kim Hyun Joong would think if he sees me there again after you read part 2 of my Unexpected Luck... Leader Overdose story . ^_^
Alright here it goes...
You know what? I guess dressing up a bit and being so casual in the things that are happening around you sometimes would give you an edge. ^^
After Eat Bulaga, C and I then went straight to the hotel where Leader is staying. After parking we went straight to the function room where GMA programs interview is to happen. As we were walking the hallway, I could already see all those hulking local bodyguards of Leader, his managers but not the Korean bodyguards.
As we were walking pass them, I can hear them discussing who's the only people supposed to enter the function room. I could hear ID and blah blah blah. I wasn't worried actually because I've an invite. Also, some of the local guards have already seen me at the backstage and just gave me a smile when we walk. Also the Koreans didn't mind us at all. Probably because they've seen us in EB earlier.
As we place ourselves inside the media waiting area we could hear the dos and don'ts, the sequence of interview, who could only be inside the room and who are the inteviewer of Leader and Beast. Hearing the latter worried me a bit. Because the person who invited us was told to interview Beast and not Leader! Oh geez...
Then, Grace Lee came. She's a Korea who speaks very well English and Tagalog. She's a TV host, dj and newscaster. I like her and even like her a lot when she was introduced to me and talked to me. Really a very nice person.
When she arrived at the holding area, she still doesn't know who she will be interviewing first. C and I were very hopeful that she's the one who's going to interview Leader. But when the person in-charge came out and gave assingments she was given Beast to interview. Having heard that I was about to tell C that I think it's better that we give up.
Then Gelli de Belen [actress and host] came and hope rises again. ^_^ Before she arrived we actually already know that she's going to interview Leader for 2 shows. One is for StarTalk and the other one is Showbiz Central. Heard that she likes Leader so much [she's married with kids]. So there's hope because C was able to talk to her.
While waiting for the interviews to start Grace Lee, C and I were seated together. We had short convo about Leader, how strict the Korean managers are, how the Korean were amazed to learn that she's not a Filipina learning Korean but the other way around because of her fluency in Tagalog and English. Told here that I've been to Seoul 5 times and she asked me what I like about Seoul. Then afterwhich I asked her if we could take photo together and she obliged. Really nice lady.
She said that she wishes to interview Leader because she had already interviewed Beast yesterday. But luck seems to be not on her side. She was then called to start her interview with Beast. But before here interview started, she was asked to give way to Tim Yap first [TV host and report] because he already arrived. So she obliged. She then went back to media waiting area.
A few minutes after she came back, the manager of Leader approached her and asked her to interview Leader! The Korean's must really like her! They talked quite long which I wish I know the reason why. But I guess he's briefing her on what to ask. A few minutes later she was then asked to go to the next room to interview Leader. And you know what she did? She then said to C and I to follow her and A [another reporter]. Wow as in wow! Unexpected turn of event because we are already losing hope that we'll get to see Leader again. As we follow her and A guards just stared at us and smiled. We then entered the room where in Leader just finished being interviewed by Tim Yap.
Leader is on an elevated stage set up. He look soooo handsome and cool. When we entered he immidately saw us. He didn't smile but look at each one of us. Hee, another locked eyes moment for me. ^_^
The room has a theater set up so as Grace and A went near Leader C and I made ourselves comfortable by sitting in front of Leader. ^^ Geez, he's so handsome. Honestly, I forgot what color his wearing if it's a brown vest and black shirt or the other way around because I keep staring on his face. But what I'm sure of is that he's wearing boots.
As he was being prepared for the interview, Leader is seated on his chair. From time to time he would look our way. And I said 'time to time' because really it's several times! Now C already knows how I felt when Leader did passing look at me. ^_^
Ahhh, it's so surreal. In a small room with Leader and only few people and not having a fright whether to be shooed or not. Woot! Woot!
If only personal camera is allowed I would have taken some very very good shot of Leader. But of course that cannot happen.
Grace interview then started. Once the camera started to roll Grace modulated her voice and face the camera happily. The interview is supposed to be 10 minutes only but Grace i think ended up with more than 15 minutes. She's a great interviewee and I think Leader is impressed with her. Her questions were nice too. She also did the translation of Leader's answers.
I'm trying to recall what she asked but my mind is not working now. I could only remember her asking him how he likes the Philippines so far. And this is when Leader said that he's extending his vacation after his activity but could not tell where because the might not be able to relax. She also asked him who is the singer he looked up to and we already know the answer for this. As for acting, he said that since he's only been acting for a year he still doesn't have anyone in mind but will tell us probably later. Also, about future acting project, Leader said that he will soon make a drama when he returns to Korea but for not he cannot say anything about it yet. Grace also said something about single mothers but I don't remember the exact question and Leader's answer.
As for Leader's closing, Leader said that he hopes to return to the Philippines and do activities here. Can't remember if he mentioned about SS501 or not but I've a feeling that he's saying group activities.
There are many other things that was said during the interview but I really couldn't remember them. I guess the portions where I wasn't able to understand or remember a thing was when he's looking at us. ^_^
As the interview ended we all went out to give way to Gelli de Belen's interview. But before leaving, Leader bowed.
What's Leader's attitude inside the room while not being interviewed. He's very quiet and doesn't smile. But once the camera started to roll he is full of charm.
Ahh, Kim Hyun Joong you are such an irrisistible man!
Outside we thank Grace and A for taking us. C and I just stayed in front of the room because we saw some friends with their kids who are fans of Leader.
As we just stayed there, a Korean guy who speaks English quite well and who probably got used to A and my face just let us stay there. Then one of the mommies asked permission if she her daughter could ask for Leader's signature. To our suprised he said that he will asked permission then went inside. A few minutes later, the manager came out and saw us and said that just wait. When Gelli de Belen's interview finished Leader came out with his bodyguards, stopped in front of us then the manager's got the things we have for interview.
Alright, as a fan always get ready, k? Bring your CD with you cause you'll never know if you'll have the opportunity.
As we already know that he will sign for us, we asked the kids to hold our stuff. So when Leader came out and asked and his managers asked for the things to be signed the kids gave the stuff to him one by one. But before that one TS had the chance first for her banner and Persona in Seould DVD signed. Then Leader signed the kid's 'Goodbye Hyun Ji Hoo' photobook, C's normal Destination and my Special Destinatin album.
While Leader was signing, we were all gatheref in front of him as in arm's length [my arm k, as i'm short ^^] ! Never never had I imagined tha I could be that close to him face to face. The closest I was able to be with Leader was during the HK fan meet but I was standing behind him. This time he's right in front of me! Then after signing we locked eyes again! The he smiled shyly. ^^ He's like an angel. I can still picture his smile clearly in my mind.
Ahh... Leader!
Thirty minutes after, I heard something crumbling. Huh?! My tummy! I was just reminded that I haven't taken anything since after taking a small bite of bread at breakfast.
Geez, Leader you can even make me forget about food. Oh and one more thing that I've forgotten after having an overload of Leader... I drove home with only my dim lights on and I only realized it when I'm 10 minutes away from our house.
Leader... Leader.. Leader... it's now 4:12am and my mind is still full of you. In 2 1/2 hours I should be getting ready to go to your hotel to pick up 4 of your fans who followed you here to bring them to a breakfast in bay area. Geez, I should really be logging off now.
Alright, I should really be logging off. Thanks guys for reading and I hope I didn't bore you.
Oh yeah, I should also be thanking those lady luck who's been sitting on my shoulders. I guess there's more than 2 of them now, yah? And I hope they continue to sit there and give me luck.

[Fan Account] Unexpected Luck…Leader Overload Part 1
Credit: http://liezle.blogspot.com
Never thought that I would have this chunk of luck when I learned the Kim Hyun Joong would be visiting the Philippines. I never even thought before of going to see him in the concert that would happen 18 hours from now. But since yesterday, lady luck must have love sitting on my shoulder and even invited another one to sit on the other side today. ^_^
I have told you that yesterday, I saw Leader at the lobby of his hotel in this post of mine. Really that was unexpected. Up to now thinking about that passing look he gave still makes me giddy.
Alright, that was yesterday. What about today? Hmm, I know that I'll be seeing Leader today once again as I got an invite from Chayene. But my mind was conditioned that I'll only be seeing him at around 3PM. So I went to work until I got a call just before lunch that I've to be in Eat Bulaga in less than an hour because Leader will be there. What? Less than an hour? It'll take one hour or so for me to drive there with yesterday being a Friday! But still I said, 'Alright, I'll be there'. ^_^
To cut the story short, I was in Eat Bulaga, less than 45 minutes. Huh! Don't know how I did it [despite the traffic because of an accident] but I did. I then went to the lobby guard and asked for direction to the backstage as instructed by Chayene.
At the backstage saw people running here and there because the show is just about to start. Leader hasn't arrived but I was told that he's on his way. Called my friend in the hotel where Leader is and told her to wait at the lobby because Leader will be passing by the lobby again any minute soon to be in EB [Eat Bulaga].
While waiting for Leader to arrive, I took photo his waiting room and tried practicing on how to aim my camera when he arrives.
A few minutes later, his tall Korean bodyguards were checking the hallway. It took them about 10 minutes to clear the hall of people. Geez, they're so strict! They don't want anyone in the hallway when Leader enter. They're checking who's who and keep on saying no camera. After making sure that the hallway is cleared of unwanted people, the hulking bodyguards then came marching in followed by Leader. I was able to get a very very short video of him until the guard tapped our cameras.
From the entrace I saw Hyun Joong walking tall going to his waiting room [we were standing at the door] looking so handsome but I've a feeling that he's not feeling well. Nelson Canlas together with Chayene, H the cameraman [the news team of 24 Oras] then went inside once Leader was in. I would have also been inside but decided not to go anymore because I don't want to be shooed out. Which I think I made a good decision because just like what I said on my previous post, if I've gone inside my face would have been on the national TV. ^^
So I waited outside for C and H to come out. They then came out of the room because Nelson Canlas has to start his interview. After coming out C also felt that he's not feeling well after she greeted him and he gave her weak smile.
A few minutes later Nelson's interview is over. He came out then gave C 2 signed photos of SS501 back to her. C was very very happy.
Btq, Leader's group was asked to be in EB at 1PM [if I'm not mistaken]. They arrived much earlier than 1PM.
The hallway at the backstage is quite narrow the Korean bodyguards keep on ordering us to clear the hallway. Since we have business at the backstage they cannot shoo us out.
The waiting for Leader to come out on stage is getting longer. The Koreans seems to be getting agitated. Then about 45 minutes have passed the door to the waiting area of Leader opened and Leader came out to my surprised. I was standing just in front of his room texting someone. C went out to meet someone. He saw me gave a little smile walked a bit as if wanting to do something. When he came out of the room all the guards were on alert. They seemed to be so concerned about him asking him what he wants. But I didn't hear Leader saying any words he just walked a few paces back and forth then went back to his room again but this time the guard didn't close the door and just put a stool as a door stopper. I really have a feeling that he's not feeling well.
The dressing room is quite smal but airconditioning is good. But since it's small he must have felt crammed inside and decided to get some air.
At around 1:30PM I was told that Koreans are really getting agitated and keep on asking when Leader is to be put on stage. More waiting for Leader. At this point I then told C that we should try our cds to be autographed. We got a good timing to talked to the interpreter when she was looking for a black pentel pen which C has. So we asked if possible then she said she will asked then walked away with C's black pentel pen. She didn't return then.
Anyway, C then asked Pauline Luna's help [she's an actress and MC] since she knows here. To my surprise Pauline is very very accommodating and really tried her best to get our CDs signed. She tried 3 times asking! I'm really surprised with her kindness. Despite her charm and everything she failed. At anyrate, Pauline, I really appreciated what you did.
After failing to get the CDs signed we gave up. Placed our cds back inside our bag.
More waiting for Leader and the Koreans are really really getting pissed off. They even tried to walk out but of course they didn't. I understand where they're coming from. They were asked to be at the studio at early and it's almost 2 and Leader is still not being interviewed.
So I then asked someone if there's still another appointment for Leader after EB. I was told that they've to go to Araneta Coliseum for sound check then head back to the hotel for the GMA media interview which will happen at 3:30PM.
After realizing that I'm getting a good conversation with this someone, I took this opportunity to ask more information. ^_^ I asked where Leader went last Thursday night and I got confirmation that he did watched soccer with friends in Pasig and came back 2 hours later. Then I asked when he's returning to Seoul, I got an answer but I'm sorry I can't tell you guys when and where he is going. What I can only say is that he'll be staying a while to enjoy Philippines [Leader also mentioned this in his interview with Grace Lee].
A few minutes after getting above info, commotion in the hallway got frantic. Everyone is getting in their position. I then went to the left side of the stage with C to wait for Leader to come out on stage. At first I was only standing below the stage but when I realized that I could actually stand on the stage so I did.
I took a short vid of his interview then took snapshots. With steady hands I think I've taken quite a good shot and was able to stare at him and not at the monitor of my camera.
I then again felt giddy when he saw me! This time not once, not twice but three times he made a passing look! Hehehe, it must be the floral A-line skirt and the Royal Avenue shoes I'm wearing. ^_^ Nah, kidding aside, I guess everyone who would be given by such passing look will be giddy. Waahhh!!! We locked eyes for the 5th time since yesterday! [Shirley, Jung Min's moment at Persona in Seoul Encore I think is the best because it's longer and he communicated with me in a way ^_^]. But yeah 5 times we locked eyes and there's still more in the 2nd part. ^_^. Woot! Woot!
In the video that I posted HERE, you could actually see that he would keep looking at the extreme left side of the stage. Hee, he must have said in his mind 'Again'?
Here are photos during the interview and I'm sure that you'll notice the eyes. ^_^
After the interview he walked pass our side and headed straight to the exit.
Me and C then went to my car then left the vicinity of Eat Bulaga then headed to his hotel to be at the GMA programs interview. ^_^
As this post is already quite long, I'll end it here. Will give you the next set of 'Unexpected luck, Leader overdose' story part 2 in a short while. ^_^ I hope I didn't bore you. ^^
