K-culture expert tour guide

Another update right after the other but hey, I've been neglegting this blog. I'm sorry guys ;~; I wanted to update too but I've been really busy.

Anyways, I've been appointed as official Korean culture expert by Seoul Tourism Organization. Their marketing team contacted me after I left application. And part of the whole thing is to promote it as well so here I am talking about it.

Basically, I can make a tour about KPOP that includes but is not limited to karaoke, visiting the companies, their official stores, eating where idols eat/idol owned restaurants etc.  Now I have one week to design the tour so I need to think about the options.



If you would take part of a KPOP themed tour, where would YOU want to go? Let me know in comments

Guerilla concerts

What I really love about Korea is the free concerts they have once in a while for album releases and comebacks.

On 15th June I went to B2ST's B2UTY PARTY guerilla concert. I went there 9am to wait for a ticket and the concert was at 8pm. I got home part 11pm that day.

The thing is, if you first tihnk free concert or guerilla concert you get this image of a small concert at some street corner or park, no? But as it is Cube Entertainment and B2ST is huge, the whole guerilla concert.. well, it was concert. 3500 fans came and you know it's free?! I just kept thinking how much the cost is for the company. But it was amazing, definitely one of my best days in Korea by far.

Another guerilla concert I went was Skull and Haha's in Hongdae. And that's what I would call guerilla as well. It was small stage in a street, intimate and really a party. LOVED IT.

And the best part is that Haha actually replied to me on twitter after it :D


More pics will be on my Naver blog
