2011 Airen Summer Camp With Lee Seung Gi

I’m not English native user, so sorry for my usual crappy English ^^

20.08.2011

Woke up around 6am, took subway about 50 mins to get a bus at Sport Complex station at 8.30. I got there around 8.10, there are many buses parked there already and as well lots of Airen! Never missed to keep memory

We were about to be unable to catch a bus coz…. we’re late hahaha, so we got the last 4 seats at back row

Wait till 9am departure, Staff gave us t-shirt and name tag, (they said something in Korean&Japanese, I don’t understand it cleary but could catch just some words ^^). It was like going to the real camping! Coz everybody wear the Airen T shirt while stopover. After taking a short nap, we talked with two staff on the bus, they’re so nice giving us Seung Gi Memo Card by playing Rock Paper Scissor! Also helped us find where to buy Banc watch, really appreciated Airen’s generosity. The scenery along the way to camp is surrounded by rice field and vegetable farms, very similar to the urban area in my country, grassy and leafy everywhere…. So bracing ~~~

We reached the camp around noon, AAHHHHH… there was a huge Seung gi Poster saying ‘welcome to summer camp’ at the entrance! We all had gone crazy as if the real Lee Seung gi was welcoming us there! LOL. While queuing for lunch, I met ‘Dimple’ from DCLSG! After chatting through Twitter, really happy to meet her in person ^^ She also gave me Raspberry Juice,Thank you Dimple .

After having lunch, we were divided into groups, I was in the group with Daum café member and another cute Airen from Pusan. Not too long, MC started the activity(I heard MC talked about Airen from Thailand ~~) MC asked for the group representative in order to arrange the seat in the hall and the order for mountain climbing. We had a good representative, so we got the second for the seat(my seat was 37^th, already bough Lotto! Hahaha let’s see would I get the luck from Seung gi ^^) and 7^th for mountain climbing.

We started climbing at 1.35pm, it’s asphalt at the start but anyway very steep! Walked for a while, from asphalt turned to gravel!!! I heard waterfall. So I thought they might want us to see the waterfall? But what’s the need to climb up here to just see the waterfall though the scenery along wasn’t that pleasant!!!???

I couldn’t recall how long I had been climbing when I met the previous climbing group, who were on their way back to the foothill. They told us ….. “Seung gi is there! He’s waiting to take a photo,….handshake….and.. Hug!!!” HOLY!!!!!! ~~~~ is this a surprise from Hook, climbing the mountain to meet Seung Gi? “Difficulties make you a Jewel!” Climbing a mountain provides you Lee Seung Gi! XD. I automatically stopped complaining, the tiredness was suddenly gone away! My head only kept repeating “Seriously?,take a photo?, handshake?,hug? ? ? ?”

When I got there …. OMG OMG OMG! Real Lee Seung Gi!!!! *faint*

There was a rillet between Seung Gi and the Airen who was in queuing line. His manager said something in Korean but I don’t understand so asked him to say it in English. He said 20 person is allowed in each group. I prepared myself, took off the socks and shoes coz I had to get across the rillet.

Now, it’s a climax part! It actually took place just about 5 mins, but I will elaborately tell as if it happened for 15 mins! LOL

I was in the 2^nd or 3^rd row, I was thinking no more exhausting run but suddenly when the manager let us go, I was obsessed by Olympic Athlete! I run surpass them and jumped to the log right in front of Seung gi! Nobody was in front of him, Korean fans were holding his right arm. So I took over the left around his chest(the heart side ><) I stood right besides him!!! I looked up at him saying in Korean ‘I’m Thai Fan’, he turned towards me and said ‘Thank you’ (………………………………………………………………………….) Was the world stopping go round?? so dizzzzzyyyyyy, lost all my mind, heart skipped a beat, felt like I got chloroform!. I was so close to him, much closer than when he was in Thailand and one thing I can tell ‘Seung gi is not white at all’ LAMO Everybody was hypnotized with Seung gi, so the manager&the staff had to remind us to take a photo! (the staff had to put my unnie into position to take a photo coz  she lost her mind only starring at Seung Gi LOL)

While taking a photo, I felt Seung gi’s hand around my elbow ~~~ none of my consciousness stayed with me at that moment. The man whom I really like was enfolding me ~~~ gash… *faint faint*  LOL

I glanced at his hand, the devil  side of my head was telling me ‘this’s the one and only chance to touch his hand, so… GRAB it!, while the angel  side said ‘you’re a woman, how dare are you start first! Finally….. Instinct is the matter than the reason! I grabbed his hand! Excited!!!! Then I realized that I had to let my unnie touch his hand too ^^ so I poked her. She took just a few second touching his hand, hehehe I wouldn’t miss this great chance so I hold his hand again >_< I think it’s about a minute. What was the most shaking to me is when I was holding his hand, he was as well lightly squeezing mine.( as if we’re in secret relationship, hiding our own true feeling! Just the two of us among many people, lol >>> don’t take it seriously! Just my own funny fancy imagination for fun )

I couldn’t remember at all how my smile was when talking a group photo! Because all my concentration was at Seung gi’s hand! Hahaha~~ After taking group photo, I noticed one woman was hugging him!!!! Argh…. I wished that too and again instinct works faster than any logic! So I right away went to embrace him! ><~~~ and hurried to get off before the staff come to drag me out of him! LoL

We got back to the camp around 3 pm and it was raining, I was in delirium all the way back. The tiredness I had, now left only happiness, and the precious memory of being a fangirl!

I saw a car passing while the way back to the camp, I didn’t know Seung gi was in that car until I saw the manager got out from the car, if I knew he sat in that car I would chase after him!

During the break,  they gave us Activia Yogurt&water, let each group had to create a their own show  and write the message to Seung gi. Around 4pm, we were called to sit in the hall. My group was ranged in second, the seat was at the front left row where near the door Seung gi comes out. I got quite best view to see him ^^

Now, it started!, MC was asking if there’s any Airen from Japan, China, or Thailand? We two from Thailand hurriedly raised our hands, then MC greeted ‘Sa-was-dee-krup’ to us!

The hall was shook with scream when Seung gi walked into the hall, he was in black outfit today, trouser, t-shirt, waistcoat were all black, “Handsome man in Black” >.< (I feel he gained a bit weight from the last year I met him, more masculine, a chubby cheeks, anyway he’s still super Cute!)

Seung gi greeted the fans, and MC asked him to greet in Chinese and Japanese so I shouted(in Korean) asking him to speak Thai, I didn’t know whether MC noticed me but MC asked Seung gi to say something in Thai. He seemed don’t know how to speak Thai, MC whispered something then Seung gi said ‘sa-was-dee-krup’ and doing ‘wai’ (wai is the Thai equivalent of a bow or handshake)!!! Arrghhhhh….. he’s saying Thai!!! This’s the first time hearing he speaks Thai! Dammm…. My heart was about to stop!  He doesn’t know Thai but he knows ‘wai’ is traditional thai greeting. This must be most memorable moment ever.

The camp activity started with Show from each group which the best team was judged by Seung gi and they’d get a prize too. Seung gi hugged all the fans who performed on the stage, he participated with every team, clapping his hands, smiling, laughing… and he cutely mimicked PD NA ‘Ddeng’! Mischievous! My group performance was singing, he’s clapping along and turning himself around on the chair. The next group brought him to dance with them but he seemed unable to follow the fan’s choreograph so he just clapped his hands with them.

What I feel very heartwarming is Seung gi very actively took interest in each fan’s performances. After all the show was done, MC invited the youngest, oldest group and ….(couldn’t catch what it’s! lol)  to the stage, I think it’s probably 10 fans, everybody got his handshake and hug! He talked with the oldest Japanese fan logiest, very cute!

He explained about the delay of DVD launching, because the quality didn’t meet the standard so editing needed to be made. Also he talked about his new album, he composes 3 songs, and it will be released in this Sep or Oct. Can’t wait to own it since it’s nearly two years from his previous album and he sad there will be two concerts this year, one in Seoul and another one hasn’t been decided yet. 1N2D will be ended in next six months, he will make his best on this show until it’s end, he actually asked us not to post the board but ….. you might guess ^^ Fans already posted it, so I mentioned in my fan acc would be ok, wouldn’t it? ^^

During the break, they showed unreleased BTS Samsung Zipel CF and The Saem CF clips, Totally Cute~~~! And congratulations messages from Cha Seung Won, Lissy & UEE -  After School(they both were a guest in Kang Shim Jung) .

Then Seung gi came out with ‘Unfinished Story’ and ‘Smile boy’, fans stood up and made their moves along, the atmosphere was like we were in Mini Concert. The last song was ‘Love taught me to drink’, and he even sang the rap part himself and that made the hall shaken with scream again!(Of course, we never saw him rapping!)

The next part was answering fan’s question. mostly about the new album, so the answers are similar. At the end, there was a surprised birthday cake for the fan born on 20 Aug. Seung gi thanked to all official fanclub staffs, he hugged them and gave his autograph. He also surprised us by giving this autograph with our name on it!!! Gezzz., was i in the heaven!

We done around 7pm, I took a photo with the banner in front of the stage and said thank to MC! While queuing for dinner, two Japanese fans I met through Twitter&Blog came to say hello, I was so happy to meet them in person since we talked online for a while, so couldn’t miss a chance to keep a picture together with them.

After dinner, we gathered again at the camping area, I thought Seung gi might already leave but…. NO! he showed up and joined us again! The torch was fired! It was truly perfect summer camping! And he sang us the last song  “Because you’re my woman” ….

This was my most precious first fan meeting, more new experiences, and never ending good story with Lee Seung gi that would be etched forever..
