Fangirl Time: Super Junior's Kiss the Radio!

helloooo. since so many people requested to make a post about how to go to KBS to see Ryeowook DJ, I will make it now ^^

If you're an ELF, you might know that Ryeowook has daily schedule for being DJ in KBS.
the program name is Super Junior's Kiss the Radio~ or its called Sukira.
It's aired every night, from 10PM~12 AM KST.
You can do streaming through KBS website to hear Ryeowook DJ!

6 seconds before on air! wohoooo excited~

the DJs were Hyuk and Teuk until 2011(?) or 2012. and then Sungmin and Ryewook replaced them.
on 2012, Sungmin had drama musical so he stepped down from Sukira. Since that time, Ryeowook become sole DJ until now.

you can see Ryeowook across this place after coming out from elevator to studio
Ryeowook! ^^

You can go to KBS building to see him on air on BORA.
Bora is Boineun Radio (보이는 라디오) or literally meaning Visible Radio (?). They will turn on their web camera, so the listeners can hear and see the studio and DJ through their screen at the same time. And the good thing is we can go to KBS on BORA and see Ryeowook on air from outside the window. Usually there are so many fans waiting from around 9.30PM or 9PM. so make sure you come earlier if you want to get the first row.

i was fatty piggy back on 2012 =.="

There are 2-3 times Bora in a week. so dont forget to check their website about the schedule. usually they will release one week schedule on Sunday, including the guests.


Tips ♥
1. Check the schedule here. The schedule is in Korean, for example  8/11 ~ 8/17 Kiss The Radio 초대 손님을 소개합니다
2. Come earlier to get the best spot
3. If you are not tall enough, you can bring folded chair. Korean fans usually bring it along with them
4. Bring umbrella in rainy seasons, or wear the thick jacket on winter since its outdoor place.
5. If you only want to see Ryeowook, pick the Bora date when there is no guest to avoid many fans coming +.+ Seriously, one day I went to there when EXO came as guest, and it was soooo crowded. SJ fans and EXO fans gathered together +.+

I took some pictures. sorry for Ryeowook fans, but Sungmin's my bias that time. kekeke







The radio will end on 00:00AM KST, so if you are a subway-lover, its better to you to leave on 11PM or 11.30PM as the latest. I know its kind of heart-breaking to leave the place so early, but for me I never want to take cab because its little bit expensive compare to subway.

♥ Address: 대한민국 서울특별시 영등포구 여의동 KBS방송국 본

How to go there:
1. Seoul subway Line 9 : National Assembly: Exit 4.
2. Walk straight out of exit 4, going straight until you hit the end of the road and then turn right. The location is to your right and it's really hard to miss especially at night. It takes around 5~10 minutes.

Good luck! ^^

I'm Craving for Patbingsoo!

I'll introduce with what-you-should-try to-eat-in-summer!
yes for Patbingsoo!



Patbingsoo is a Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings such as chopped fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrup, and red bean paste. The snack is highly popular in South Korea.


There are so many restaurants that serve Patbingsoo on summer. but, my favorite is Caffe Bene's.
They have Patbingsoo with Oreo topping. the taste is sooo heaven! im fans of Oreo to be honest.
 
Usually the price is around 9000 won~ 12000 won. You will die of happiness when you eat the first spoon in the hot summer. its just perfect for summer~
the cheaper one is only Patbingsoo without any topping like strawberry, Oreo etc etc etc. The plain Patbingsoo is ice and red bean.

my favorite!
the plain Patbingsoo. its delicious as well!
 Actually the price is not so expensive since you can eat it together with your friends. So usually the waitress will ask you, "how many spoon do you need?"

Wongso and Yudra came for summer school! wrong focus picture, sorry T_T

Caffe Bene's spoon is cutie pie~

with favorite companion, Devi eonni
In Busan, you can find traditional Patbingsoo in Busan International Film Festival street. the sellers still use traditional machine to shave the ice. I dont know the price because that time my friend bought it for me.  I think its around 8000 won.

try me when u come to Busan ^^
So, dont be so jealous when you see thousand of couple in Seoul eating Patbingsoo together in summer. you can have your own too!
Which taste do you want to try?

Perfect Summer Drama, 연애 말고 결혼 (Marriage Not Dating)

hey yoooo~

2 weeks ago, Jinwoon posted 15secs video through his instagram. He said dont forget to watch  연애 말고 결혼 tonight.
Hearing the title, I thought it's kind of variety show like We Got Married. but noooo~ It's korean drama!
Its airing twice in a week, Friday and Saturday on tvN at 20:50.



yesterday I tried to download one episode. I thought it will be so boring, since I dont know other players
 except Jinwoon and Sunhwa from Secret. but........ I LOVE IT! hohoho.


its so funny even in first 10 minutes. and Jinwoon is totally BYUTIPUL here! He plays as Han Yeo Reum, a guy who's really good in Mildang! do you know mildang? its kind of push-pull "technique" to attract someone.
his acting is betterrrrrr than before. good job baby!


I cant wait to watch the next episodes tonight. wohoooo~
I recommend this drama because other actors and actress are so nice as well. Jinwoon is my first reason watching this though xDDDDD




oh and one more thing, the lighting for this drama is somehow dramatic, like mostly Music Video.
maybe they use the high-quality camera to shoot~


I love it so far! sweet and funny things combine in 1 package. so dont forget to watch it! Go watch the teaser first


and their opening soundtract is addicting.. its on my current playlist already ^^

Rilakkuma Cafe: Capi Capi Loom Loom

This cafe name is CAPI CAPI LOOM LOOM (카피카피룸룸), located close to Seongsin Women's University. Its around 5 minutes walk from Seongsin Women's University Station, Line 4.



Right after you enter the door, you will see all Rilakkuma stuffs here and there~ You can purchase those lovely stuffs, of course.



buy me!

But if you just come to have a look and take pictures, you need to purchase at least one drink for 1 person (or any kind of purchase like waffle, will do).

annyeong!

I went there on early July last year with my lovely companion, Devi onnie!
I ordered Cappuccino while Devi ordered Mocca Frappe. The prices vary around 3,000 to 5,800 won for the beverages.

the menu in Korean ^^

who can resist the cuteness? You know I'm such a hardcore Rilakkuma fans, so this place is heaven on earth for me.




We've spent around 2hours in the cafe that time! huahaha. its a good place for taking a nap. sooooo cozy!




We took a lot of pictures! we couldn't help it since the Rilakkumas are very CUTE!

girl-group-wannabe-pose



There was embarrassing moment that time. When Devi was so busy taking pics of cutie Rillakuma, she dropped my glass. Fortunately my glass didnt broke that time, but the parquet floor was so messy because of Cappuccino. We apologized to the owner and straightly went outside since the owner's expression was not good! lol


How to go there


Seongsin Women's University Station, Line 4 Take Exit #1,
walk straight until you meet KB Bank. Turn right, then walk straight around 10 blocks, or until you meet a big intersection after Mr. Pizza.
Cross the road, and turn left. Walk straight until you find the cafe!

The entrance to the cafe is very small. You need to pay more attention to your right side if you don't want to pass it over~ ^^

are you Rilakkuma fans too?

회식: Eat, Drink, ChitChat, Sing!

Helloooo~
okay,  I decided to post something new related to Korean culture to make my blog being more interesting to read. ^^

Do you know "회식"? (read: Hui-Sik)

Do you like to hang out with your coworkers after work, or do you enjoy gatherings where people drink a lot? A lot of Korean companies still have a strong 회식 culture, and not everybody enjoys going to one these days. In this posting I will explain what 회식 is and what people usually do during a 회식.

MIS Team
For Koreans 회식 is a very important part of working life. Every so often, you should go out with your co-workers and your boss and have some food, drinks and fun to get to know each other or to celebrate important events.

farewell party Mr Jang! T_T he lives in Canada with his wife and his daughter now

pardon my chubby cheeks. I was 45kgs that time! huahaha

I think drinking with your coworkers is one of many ways to improve your relationships with your coworkers and will make or break the ideal working environment.

Since we have our personal plan on Friday night, so usually we have 회식 on Thursday. or sometimes on Wednesday, because in our company Wednesday is Family Day (go home on time for quality time with your family. LOL), so the company will not provide dinner in cafetaria. That's why we choosing Wednesday  for having dinner outside with our beloved team.

After finishing work, we go to korean bar around 6 or 6.30PM.

Korean bar (its called with "HOF") usually require food is ordered with a drink. And we order some amounts of fried chicken, sausage, golbengi and many things. Our team leader walks around to make sure everyone's glass is topped off. Of course, they don't pour drinks until your glass is empty, so it's not uncommon to hear "One Shot!" and be expected to finish half a glass of beer so they can pour you the next one. kekekeke

Some of HOFs have this kind of table. It will keep your beer cold.

500cc beer
If it’s a great night out, then you’ll still be on the third or fourth 차 (Cha) or place for hanging around.

I didnt understand when the first time joining the 회식 and my co-worker asked, "Shall we go to 2 차(i-cha) ?"
And they explained to me that usually my team has 3 cha in every 회식.

These are 3-cha in my team~

1 cha : having dinner. I mean the proper dinner. Sushi, Bibimbab, Bulgogi and many things.




2 cha : HOF time. Fruit time and of course, SOJU AND BEER hahaha.  I was always under the impression that Korean people are more likely to have an iron stomach =))



3 cha : NORAEBANGGG or singing room! yes its karaoke time. one of my favorite. kekeke. Usually we have 2 or 3 hours singing since we have 15 members.



drunken Hao.. as always =.="


Usually it ends around 2AM or 3AM. Luckily my apartment is nearby the office, and also my co-worker lives in the same area with me. So, he always drops me off to my apartment.

Park Ki Bum Daeri-nim! My co-worker and my neighbor

whats the most annoying thing?
WE HAVE TO GO TO OFFICE LIKE USUAL. huhahahhaa. I go to sleep at 3.30AM, and I have to wake up at 7AM +.+ 

I miss 회식 sooo muchie! and I miss my team members as well T_T

my very last 회식 T__T

Have you ever experienced 회식 or dinner with your co-workers? ^^
