how to get music show - SBS INKIGAYO

fffuffuffu

what's the point of visiting South Korea if you don't watch any concerts/music shows?!?

when it is, for free!!!
*well, this statement is for K-Pop fans ffuffu*

you might get lost

therefore I write this post, for the sake that I love to share, and I want everyone equally experience the excitement I had back then

(hopefully I can experience it again someday)

so, it was from 2012 actually, since on my second visit to South Korea on 2013, I was staying in Gwangju which is 4hours bus ride to Seoul, and it's kinda impossible to go to Seoul everyday even every weekend

 so hopefully it's still helpfull and usefull :D

so I were went to Inkigayo only, because it was the most possible music show I could attend, 1) I had classes on Thursday (MCountdown) and Friday (Music Bank) as well. 2) MBC's Studio (Music Core) is too far from where I were, so I was afraid that I might get late

I heard SBS Inkigayo is the hardest music show to be attend, but it was my only experience^^ *THANKS GOD I COULD ENTERED*

so what you need to know is first:

THE GROUP's/SINGER's schedule! you have to make sure what kind of recording they're going to have is it - pre-record - or - live record -

~because if it's for pre-record, you need to come earlier (usually in the morning, from around 7 a.m or earlier), but if it's for live record, than you can come after 12 p.m BUT! you might have to come earlier, if the fandom is big and has a lot of members (fans)

but the most important thing is make sure about their schedule ^^

and then find out where is the music studio!!!

so apparently Inkigayo is located at:

Gayang distric, Seoul, it's located on Gayang Subway Line 9 *brown color*, I guess it's exit 9 or 10, *but they have direction don't worry and you can spot fans easily!*

after you know where and how to get there, you need to bring these following things:

1. K-Pop CD's 

2. Fandom official towel

3. Lightstick

these requirements become more important for fans whom not have an official fansclub ID *you know what I mean, so if you like Beast for example you have to join official B2UTY, Korean official fansclub*  

so because I were not the part of the official fandom, I need to bring those stuffs, 

but in my case I was so lucky, that I just brought the Beast's CD (it were Beautiful Night promotion era), and lightstick was not a big thing back then.

please note this : the more thing you bring (from those 3stuffs) the chance will be higher for you have to enter the music show

for example the fans with K-Pop CD might be loose a chance from the fans who have CD and (cheering) towel, and so on

after you come, you can feel relieved after you get the number, it's like a queue number, stating that you can enter the music show

or looks like this:

but those number, might become not valid if the show is, Live show

why? because live show means, less people from fanclub could get into the show...and fans from fansclub get more priority
so I think luck really matters
 ^^

so lemme summarize it all :

1. You need to now the group's or singer's schedule

2. MUST KNOW were is the music show location

3. Bring one of these : CD/towel/lightstick --> the more you bring, higher chance

4. Get queue number

5. Queue

6. ENTER THE STUDIO!!!

AND! PRAISE TO ALLAH, that I was extremely lucky, 
the people whom manage fans, made us I-fans, to stand behind the stage, so can you I magine how close I were to BEAST?!? I still remember how Doojoon and JunHyung staring at me ohhh my feelsss, miss em :p

sadly my bias didn't looke at me huhu

p.s : pre-record means you can only watch one group/singer, you can watch other group/singer but you must queue again, I heard that if you watch two / more group or singer in one period you will be considered as a traitor, really, but I know some I-fans did that, soo it depends on you kkk
~fyi I was unlucky when I accompanied my friend to watch Teen Top, we wait for like around 8hours, and we just knew that Teen Top were going to live-record, so we couldn't enter ;___; and it was raining ! but it was still fun to me, memories ... kkk

OH YEAH THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER WAY TO WATCH MUSIC SHOW,

which is by lottery at music show's web, but sadly I never experienced it before ;_;

*maybe next time ffuffu*

 GOOD LUCK

if you have any question *I know my explanation is crappy*

just mail me!!!

BONUS!

If weekly music show is not enough,

you can watch a concert like me, I was watching "KBS London Olympic Commemoration Open Concert"
and it was FOR FREE!!!

you don't need to bring albums etc, you just need to queue, stamina and passion + patient
I mean sometimes the girls might be gone wild, they might push you or pull you, fyi, I was fell, I lost my sandal and got injured :(

AND IT WAS RAINING WHEN THE CONCERT OCCURRED

see, I told you many times, being a fangirl means full of determination

I couldn't tell it was worth it, but I saw many idol like BEAST, KARA, Infinite, 4minute, G.Na, CNBlue, EXO-K *this post made me realised that I've seen Sehun before xixixi*, and many more
but from faaar

SO I GUESS THE EARLIER YOU COME, MORE TIME TO QUEUE, BUT MORE FUN YOU GET

it's just my opinion hhehe, so you decide yourself whether go or not...

After all it was for free!!!
