BTS Theory — More than a "simple" Glitch

ARMY, I have a theory that through many of the contents released from 2021 to today in 2025, we ourselves are currently stuck in a Time Loop to prepare us for what's to come next. Just like how HYYH BU Jin time-travelled, we're travelling back to 2017 and then we'll move forward from there when all 7 BTS Members reunite in June.

Let me explain in this long post.

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb:

when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.

the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug

if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags

also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day

re-introducing myself

With the news of Twitter possibly closing down, I thought I’d get back here and re-introduce myself before reposting some of my tweets there to here. Hi! I’m Shiela. I’ve known BTS since their debut. I’ve been making fanchant guides of BTS’s songs on YouTube since 2016. I will be transforming this old blog into all-things BTS and connect with ARMY. 🤗💜 ss links: 1, 2, 3

It’s Not Yet Too Late To Love Yourself [2019 BTS World Tour Love Yourself in Singapore fan account]

All along ever since I met BTS in 2014, I thought I’m sure I’ll see and meet them every single year. It all changed in 2018 when LOVE YOURSELF tour commenced and it’s as if life is teaching me exactly what it means to “love yourself.”

2018 has been a struggling year for me. To be honest, up until now I am not sure how I was able to survive it but yes, I did survive it. There had been too many instances wherein I was on the verge of giving up both on being a fan girl and to my duty irl as my 90% of my plans had either been cancelled or rejected; and there’s no in between. That included my plan since 2017 of going to Korea for BTS’s next concert after The WINGS Tour. We’ve all been there, planning on seeing them in Korea as that’s THE ultimate fangirling goal but, you know, life happens. Even if you are an official ARMY, if the ticket is not for you, it will just show you how the tickets are slowly getting sold out without letting you in the server to buy them.

What actually happened to me is that my application for a major document that I needed in the country I’m in got rejected, and the only way to “pass” it is to get a license in my home country which meant I needed to take an exam. I graduated in 2014 and the gap between that year and 2018 is too big to not enroll in a review center and so that’s what I did. For 4 months since June until the very last day of September, I worked on weekdays and Saturdays, and review for the whole day on Sunday. It was very exhausting and what made the whole experience worse was that there was a point from August 17 wherein I had to be hospitalized and I was in so much pain. I even thought I’d had to be admitted and had surgery. I think I was lucky to be sensible enough not to undertake the surgery even though the doctors had been adamant about it.

Imagine, in 2017 I was planning to be in Korea in BTS’ next concert tour which happened to be on August 25, 2018 but instead I was in the 3rd hospital having my 3rd opinion on the matter. But because of that issue, I have started to learn how to love myself by eating vegetables, and ISTG I ate a whole lot of vegetables for that whole month alone than in all my 25 years of living. I also ate lesser salty food and went back to exercising.

Fast forward to the results of the exam which were released in December, I was lucky to pass it especially since the passing rate of all takers were just in 48%, and my actual rating even surpassed my expectation. Loving myself by focusing on my exam and taking care of my health paid off.

Now what?

Love Yourself Singapore’s ticketing actually happened 17 days after the Asian stops had been announced on October 10. I was still in the Philippines back then, taking my 5th opinion in my motherland’s hospitals when it was dropped. It shocked me of course, but I was happy that I would’ve been back in Thailand when the ticketing happens.

TICKET SELLING

Compute rentals are hard to find in Thailand but I was lucky enough that there’s one about 2km away from my house. I would’ve used my phone but I wasn’t confident since I haven’t tried booking from SportsHubTix yet. So what happened then was that the ticketing opened at 9am BKK time. I arrived at 8:45am but the computer rental’s keeper was still asleep and I was the only one there so I wasn’t sure if I should wake him up or not. But my will to try to buy a ticket was stronger than my shyness so I woke him up and man are his eyes red! And the computers’ startup was slow as heck which made me be able to sit down only at 8:55am.

Come 9am, the ticketing limbo happened. I wasn’t even able to log in as the queuing was already upfront when I opened SportsHubTix. The whole time I was in the limbo, all I thought was, “I won’t be expecting anything like I did in Seoul stop. If it goes through, I’m happy, but if not then it’s fine. I’ll just go for the BKK stop for sure.” I only paid for an hour worth of internet and so I wasn’t really sure if I’ll be able to get it; the blinking dot as the only indicator of the page didn’t help at all. But then at 9:40am BKK time, a ping was heard and it said it’s my turn to buy the ticket. Man! I was hysterical in my mind! I was shaking the entire time! I wanted to go for Yellow 2 but the only available standing areas left were Blue, Red and Orange. I took a video while I was choosing seats and all the time I was saying “I’ll go for Red 2.” But my fingers clicked “Blue 2” and I was like… meh whatever! If I cancel this, who knows if I’ll have to go back to the queue and so that’s how I got Blue 2 ticket. I didn’t know my queue number until I paid for it and maaaan! It was queue no. 119! Not bad at all! I was actually really happy since LYSG will be happening on 190119 and then I’ll have 119 as queue no. It must be fate!

We had 83 days to go after ticket selling and it was crazy how LY BKK’s ticketing happening in December most especially since its 2nd show was announced only 3 days after 1st day’s ticketing. But that’s a story for another day.

Everything seems to be in place for this concert tour for me especially when this airline I booked has an in-flight light show and the sequence of the colors was the LOVE YOURSELF color scheme: orange-pink-purple-blue.

LIVE NATION SG AND ONE PROD ISSUE

On the week of LYSG, there was an issue on how One Prod apparently gave out free tickets to non-ARMYs. And then suddenly, tickets had been released back into SportsHubTix and that included Purple and Yellow zone tickets. I was so angry since I had been holding on to my Blue 2 ticket since it’s been sold out on the 1st ticketing day, and now they’re telling me that my desired zone, Purple and Yellow 2 are suddenly available 2 days before the concert? HA! *eye roll* It worsened when they announced the standing queue cut off time which is way early in my opinion then.

CONCERT DAY

I arrived in Singapore late in the evening of Friday after “escaping” and going half-day at work. Nobody knew I was going to SG except for my family and Poppy who has been my host in my whole duration there.

On Saturday morning, I was the only one who travelled from Poppy’s place to National Stadium via MRT since she and her younger sisters all have seated tickets. Although it was my first trip by myself in SG, I didn’t get lost at all.

It took around 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach the Stadium from Poppy’s place. Upon arrival, I was already overwhelmed by the humongous place and amount of people in the area. I was also anxious because I had fan packs to distribute and claim as well. For the entire morning, all I did was look for the fan packs I ordered, and contact people to claim their fan packs from me. All I have to say is that it’s better to just do giveaways than people buying from you especially if they’re trash talkers. I don’t want to call them that but I saw them tweet on concert day but not reply on my DM. Only 12 out 20 buyers turned up – it’s that bad. Hay. Charge to experience na lang.

Then I wandered around. It’s cute how people think I need help since I am by myself but, like, the only help I needed was when I needed someone to take a photo of my back while I hold my Kim Namjoon slogan up. LOL. Anyway, it was a nice way to meet acquaintances especially with the 6 other people who sat at my table at talked to me like we had been friends for a long time. Too bad it didn’t get too deep to ask for each other’s Twitter or IG accounts.

Queue cut off was at 2:30pm and I arrived there at 2pm. It was the same queuing system as the one used in Thailand and so I already knew how things will go such as when cut-off time has arrived, they will “close” the queuing by using some kind of easily-removable barricade, and then we will be asked to stand up and compress. That was it for Thailand but in Singapore, after we were asked to compress, we had to stand up for the whole duration until they let us in at 4pm for ultimate compression since they were adding the >5000 ticket holders into the queue.

Although I said the queuing system (with the cut-off time) is the same as Thailand’s, let me tell you the differences I experienced.

In IMPACT Arena in Thailand, all the numbers of each zone are crammed up in one area. (I want to say this will be updated in LY BKK but I realized we won’t have standing in LY BKK so I’m comparing to older, arena concerts). But in Singapore, the standing areas are divided into < 5000 and >5000. For us <5000, we are to queue up by the very gate of our zone. Meaning we got to hear the soundcheck for free. And then what happened to the >5000 queue ticket holders was that they were placed inside Singapore Indoor Stadium. Pretty neat!

In Thailand, it’s queuing up and then checking your bags right before you enter the venue. In Singapore, it was bag inspections first before you queue up and then you enter the venue.

In Thailand, you are given plastic, credit card-like tickets but a hole is punched by the checker as you go in the venue. In Singapore, you have cardboard tickets but it doesn’t get punched or even cut off.

In Thailand, the checker by the gate scans your ticket for verification. In Singapore, it’s you who will scan your own ticket and if it’s verified, the turnstile gate will be available and you can get in the venue already.

In Thailand, the fan project is distributed by the local fanbase staffs while we are in the queue. In Singapore, it was done by one of the members of the logistics team, and it was handed down right before we scan our tickets.

For us in BLUE 2, we entered from the backstage of the venue and had a long walk going to our desired places. To be honest, up until that moment I was confused whether to go for the one near the main stage or go to the one near the extended stage but thinking that I already have 2 BKK tickets that are closer to the extended stage, I opted for the main stage and voila; I still managed to get barricade near the main stage! I ranted about probably not being able to be barricade at a BTS concert anymore in 2018 but 2019 slapped me in the face. I guess I was also lucky that most of the other ticket holders before me went for the extended stage.

From 4pm, the gates opened but concert started at 7pm. In those 3 hours of waiting, I made friends/ acquaintances with the people around me. I activated my PR mode and humored them. I also gave out my 2nd freebie which is the “Jimin is 8500 Days in LYSG” hologram stickers. I think it made the mood around my area much better since unlike the usual wherein people pushed me when concert started, they were actually careful not to do so much damage? There were still pushing especially at the start, but not as bad as all the other times I was in standing. Maybe it’s a Singaporean thing or maybe it was the giveaway doing its magic. *shrug*

As mentioned, we standing zones were let in at 4pm whilst the seated zones were let in at 5:30pm. When it was only us standing zones, we were quietly chanting along to the MVs being played. I and the girls behind me even formed an impromptu choir and sang along to all of the MVs being played. When seated ticket holders were let in, hoooo boy did the loud cheering started.

As the sun sets by the Marina Bay Sands and Singapore Flyer, it signaled the start of the concert.

CONCERT PROPER

I thought my shock at the difference between Thailand and Singapore concert will end at the self-scan of tickets but nope, I was wrong. Maybe it was because it’s now a stadium tour but minutes before the concert started, there’s this guy who sells water bottles but he opens the cap in front of you. I asked for the cap so I could go on standing peacefully but he said it’s not allowed so I drank it all off so that I won’t get wet because of the opened bottle later (what an innocent goer I was). I think giving us the cap isn’t allow because he has to bring it back to make sure he really sold it? But yeah the fact that there were water bottles being sold inside a concert is a whole new experience for me!!! And that’s not even the end!!! During the concert, there were ushers who would go around, hold up a water bottle and a triangular paper cup, ready to give it someone who needs it for free!! TMI but man, the last time I went to a toilet that day was at 1:50pm and for them to give it out freely, and me taking it every chance I got because I was out of breath and voice because of leading the fan chants? Man I'm lucky my adrenaline kept it all in!

Ah I almost forgot to mention this but even though I was by the barricade near the side stage, I was still far away from the side stage simply because there were water cannons/ jets installed right at the foot of the stage. There could still be 4-5 rows of people in that place but I guess it’s okay that they put the barricade farther since I still felt the heat of the fire from my place and that would be dangerous if I was nearer since I was wearing contact lens!

Finally, BTS appeared on stage. Man, I really missed the feeling of seeing them and hearing and watching their performances live! Since I was in BLUE 2, I was so far away from them but I don’t know why or how it felt like they were still near me? The magic of going in standing zones I guess?

Most of the time, I watched them from the big LED screen. Sometimes I watched them from the main stage but they looked to small so I go back to the LED screen. There were not much songs wherein they go to the side stage near us but one of them was Magic Shop. Hoooo boooy here we go! I teared up both for Magic Shop and Euphoria which is funny because Magic Shop is only the 4th song that they did? Add the fact that initially, I didn’t like Magic Shop but there I was tearing up just on the 4th song of the entire 3 hour show!!!!! After reading the Save Me webtoon released that week and the theories behind it (yes, I caved in) it’s a no-brainer why I teared up in Euphoria. I was like, damnnn they’re really playing with our feelings like this?? It’s such a dark song and yet??? The song is so upbeat that they make it seem like??? It’s really??? fun??? Like no, stop playing with my heart?????? Oh but wait, before I teared up, I actually told off the people around me who were chanting that annyeong haseyo thing that they were ruining the song! Good thing they were sensible enough to listen and stop chanting. And then that’s the time I actually teared up. LOL

The only other times they went to our side of the stage were during I Need U, So What and after Answer: Love Myself as they were saying goodbyes. Yup, only 4 songs.

The main highlight of the night was probably these cannons I already mentioned beforehand. I am not one to watch fancams before going to concerts as I prefer to be surprised, and bijj, how surprised I was!

On that week, I saw that the weather forecast is 90% chance of rain on LYSG day. I really prayed that it won’t and bitch I even packed a raincoat going to Singapore, but like what I said above, what an innocent goer I was. I already saw a BTS Crew loading up water on the cannons before the start of the concert but I paid him no mind. I really didn’t think it’ll be fired at all that’s why in my RUN fancam, I was screaming, “I wasn’t informed!!!! I’m so drenched!!!” The second time it happened was during Anpanman and boy oh boy, it helped me tick off the “getting absolutely drenched in a concert” goal. Really, it was the only upgrade I needed in a BTS concert! I remember I also ranted about how I wasn’t anywhere near Suga or Hobi during Cypher Pt. 4 in all 3 The WINGS Tour stops I went to last year so I wasn’t “blessed by the holy water” in that concert tour, but now in LOVE YOURSELF… bijj really told me, “Here’s your mf holy water.” LOL.

This is my 7th BTS concert but there were still a lot of freaking first times. Like the 90% watching the LED Screen. I wasn’t expecting anything like this to happen but watching the LED screen is much more clearer than really looking at them from the main stage and the extended stage so… hahaha… there are some things my eye caught because of being near the LED screen hahahahahahahaha I AM STILL SCREAMING ABOUT IT!!!!!! Hashtag trivia: love *cough*

Amidst the screams from myself and fellow ARMYs, I can still guarantee that they sing 100% live. This is one of the biggest reasons why I love going to BTS concerts. You can easily know if the artist sings live or not and I’m proud to say that BTS has never lip synced in all the concerts of theirs that I’ve attended (and all the other concerts and shows they did as well). I am especially mesmerized with The Truth Untold and, of course, Epiphany. Please don’t bash me when I say this but TTU is too slow-paced for me that’s why I tend to skip it or leave it out of my playlist but then the live version of the song made me appreciate it! It has always been like this for all the songs I appreciate less ever since 2014; the live versions made me look/ listen to it in a different light. Their harmony and Jimin’s improvisations added colors to the song. Likewise for Epiphany! Man! The whole arena sang along in tune and I think that’s beautiful.

While I was watching the boys through the screen, their happiness and shining auras were clearly shown. I guess they also missed their SG ARMYs since it’s been 4 years since they’ve been there. The boys’ ending ment confirmed this. Joon mentioned how it was the happiest day and that the ARMYs in there are “the sweetest, loveliest, strongest, and all the beautiful words”. Jimin sang Promise!!! I’m so proud of him!!! Ah!! The translator translated Yoongi’s words as “It’s been a good night.” but Yoongi corrected him and said, “Not good night; GREAT night!” Then Jin said, “I will visit here again.” Hobi said he loves the reactions from everyone! I love how Taehyung said that he’s happy that we’re part of his memories. Kookie said something about coming back.

I’m still gonna go to the 2-day Bangkok stops so as much as I want to digest everything that happened, I will leave some more things unsaid especially about the other songs still not mentioned. But, yeah, I think my reflective sticker worked again since even if there were only 4 songs wherein they were “near” us, I still got some shots of them looking at my general direction hahaha.

POST-CONCERT

This LOVE YOURSELF Singapore is probably the craziest stunt I ever did in my life. From impulsively buying a ticket since I was able to enter the online system, to booking a plane ticket a few hours after, to asking for a half-day leave without stating a reason a day before flying (on Friday), to spending the weekend in Singapore and then go back to work on Monday as if nothing happened. It’s crazy but it was worth the all the back pain, muscle ache and headaches I got from lack of proper rest! Singapore has clean air that I needed anyways since it’s been hazy in Thailand for the past month. Like what Namjoon said in INTRO: O,RUL8,2?, “Nothing lasts forever. You only live once so live your life, take chances, and never be late to do what you wanna do.” And in my opinion, by doing these, you are loving yourself.

Q: What sets BTS different from other idol groups?

Bang Shihyuk PD: This is quite a difficult question. To answer this, I want to talk about the time I first met BTS members. I— (laughs) I laughed a lot when I saw these photos during the rehearsal this morning too. I still remember vividly the moment I first heard RM’s songs. His depth of thoughts in handling the subject, his refined use of language, his creative way of pulling off the rap with Korean, all were superior for a 17-year-old. I remember telling Producer Pdogg, who showed me the song, that I needed to set up a meeting with this boy immediately. I’m taking caution since I might sound like I’m showing off my kid, but at that time I thought I could not miss out such a talented boy. I felt like it’s some sort of mission for me. J-hope was also well-known for his great dancing in town at that time and Jimin enrolled in an arts high school as one of the top students. All 7 members had different talents and abilities and with this as the foundation, BTS started with the determination to make something awesome. I hoped for BTS to take a step further from being shining, great cool stars. I wanted them to become artists who can communicate closely with fans like between humans and humans, give and take positive influence and carry not a vertical, but a horizontal leadership. Ever since the making of the first album, I only asked for one thing in BTS members. BTS’ music must be stories from the inside of BTS. We didn’t force practice time on them and we didn’t control their personal lives either. We gave them freedom and let the members participate voluntarily in everything. The reason why a lot of BTS’ early songs were about schol is also because at that time, many members were students. At that time, we received lots of criticism like “why coming up with a concept about students’ rebellion now”, “such an old concept”. But I believed the most important thing is them doing their own stories.

bts, bang pd nim, intellectual people

As part of 2017 BTS Festa, an annual week-long celebration of BTS’ anniversary, a special event called BTS Home Party was held at Olympic Park, Woori Financial Art Hall in South Korea for their fourth anniversary, and it was simultaneously aired on their V LIVE Channel for their international fans.

Nicky, the admin of BTS Brick Live Cafe’s official Twitter account, had an impromptu announcement of a BTS Home Party V LIVE streaming project in the cafe roughly two hours before the show started. In spite of the short notice, ARMYs in Bangkok took this chance to meet up to watch the show together.

It definitely looked like a planned gathering, but it wasn’t, and that’s why it’s successful. It had been a fun-filled two hours not only because of BTS’ humor and stages, but also because of the immediately-formed camaraderie among us ARMYs who went to the cafe.

5 Reasons Why You Should Attend A Hallyu Event In Thailand

Hallyu, the love of K-POP and/or K-drama is prevalent all over Thailand, and what better way to get close to your favorite artists than to attend their concert or fan meeting. It’s no secret that Thailand is the go-to place of these artists in Southeast Asia, and here are 5 reasons why you should attend at least one event in the country.

1. Price Range

Thailand has a large number of event promoters that the price range is standardized. You can even already imagine how much your desired place would be even if there aren’t any announcements yet. A K-POP concert usually has 6,000 baht as the most expensive, and 1,800 baht as the cheapest. There are some cases where the most expensive ticket tier is lesser than 6,000 baht, though. Still, as I’ve said, you already know what to expect / you can be a sure VIP ticket holder already if you have 6,000 baht.

2. Privileges

Promoters in Thailand are generous with the inclusive privileges of their event. Normally, though, the privileges are raffled off to all the ticket tiers, and there are quotas for each category. Other promoters give everyone in the most expensive tier a sure privilege, too, which is the hi-touch.

There was one fan meeting of a then-rookie group wherein I was able to avail all privileges: press conference, fan sign, hi-touch, and a group photo with the artists because those were the given privileges for the most expensive ticket tier which was just 3,800 baht. The only downside then was that the tickets for that tier were sold out fast.

3. Ticket

The ticket itself is a souvenir already. I mean, just look at it! The ticket’s size is like that of any regular-sized card, and you can put it in your wallet to carry around all the time. Above are some of my tickets from different KPOP groups’ latest concerts as of writing this.

#jhope #mama #the wings tour #bts #concert

Just like the three previous BTS concerts I’ve attended, THE WINGS TOUR still brought in more first-time experiences for me. It’s the first concert tour wherein I attended more than one stop and city, and that I have a concert buddy whom I had fun with. It’s also my first time to have extremely exhausting experiences in trying to purchase a ticket that I reached the point of giving up the third stop (thank god I didn’t). Above all, I finally heard all of them do their spiels in my mother tongue which made me immensely emotional on my first time being seated in a BTS concert.

I purposefully chose the middle photo wherein Namjoon stood up first after the bow not only because he was wearing a toy crown there and he’s my king, but also because I wouldn’t even be an ARMY if it wasn’t for him. My respect for this guy is above and beyond, I just want to support him and the boys as much as I can.

The experiences I gained from these three concert stops had shaped some aspects of my way of thinking, and I’m sure it will be embedded in my soul. This may be cliche but just like Spring Day’s message, we just have to hold on and surpass every struggle so that we can attain what we want in the end. Anything’s possible if you believe and act on it.

It’s cute how both @.sugaupdates on Twitter and I coincidentally went to Suga’s family restaurant in Daegu recently with just a two-day difference. They rode a bus getting there, whereas I rode the subway and so I want to share this for fellow ARMYs to have another option of getting around.

Please take note that this is all the way to Daegu. It is far from Seoul and you will use a different train to reach Daegu from Seoul. Read more about it here.

1. From KTX Dongdaegu Station, follow the directions that show which exit is for the Express Bus & Daegu Metro Line 1. (I think this is Exit 3, but I forgot.) The Express Bus & Daegu Metro Line 1 are on another building so you have to exit this building. Exit the door nearest Smoothie King.

2. Turn left and you will see a building with 동대구역 복합환승센터. Enter that and go to floor B1 for Metro Line 1.

3. Upon arriving at Metro Line 1, turn left again and alight the train bound for Seolhwa Myeonggok station. You may use your T-Money here. (click here for a bigger resolution)

4. Get off at Banwoldang Station and transfer to Line 2. Then, get off at Keimyung University station, Exit 6.

5. On Exit 6, turn right and walk for about 5 to 10 minutes. You will pass by stores like GS25, CU, it’s skin, and a 7-Eleven.

6. You will see a green arc near that 7-Eleven; it’s called the Rodeo Street. Walk along that street and the restaurant is on your right side.

7. Enjoy the delicious meals served by the Mins! The 토종순대 is definitely a must-try!!!!!!!! I recommend it 100%!!!!!!!!

If you’re planning on going to Korea, include this in your itinerary. Believe me, you will not regret anything! The food is amazing, the ambiance is great and they’re all so nice and accommodating!

Getting To Daegu & Busan And Back To Seoul In Just One Day Via KTX

I recently went on a holiday in Korea, and the main highlight of that week-long heaven is when my friend & I went to Daegu and Busan in just one day, and then Ilsan on the following day. Ilsan is fairly easy to go to from Seoul since you’ll still use the Seoul Metro Line, but it’s another story for Daegu and Busan as you need a ticket for KTX.

KTX is a high-speed rail system that is operated by Korail. If you’ve watched the movie Train to Busan, this is exactly what you’ll ride.

There are two types of Korail Pass:

1. Consecutive Day Pass: 1-day, 3-day, 5-day, and 7-day

2. Flexible Day Pass: 2-day, and 4-day

We purchased a 1-day pass so we can go back to our guesthouse in Seoul on the same day.

There are also two options on how to buy your ticket:

The first one is via their official website here. You need to provide your personal information, and expected date of arrival in Korea. Unfortunately, this option is only for those who have a credit card which I do not own. It’s been said that you can use a debit card, but I wouldn’t risk it especially since there are cases where debit cards couldn’t push through with the transaction. It doesn’t help that they also do not accept cash so if you’re like me, don’t worry, there’s another option which is…

Look for an authorized agent that could do the reservation for you. What I did was 5 days prior to our flight to Korea, I contacted this certain local agent in Thailand, gave them the requirements, paid, and voila! In less than 24 hours, I received my e-voucher! Please take note that this isn’t the ticket yet!

Once you’ve received your e-voucher, you have to print it out as the teller needs to keep a copy!

At Incheon Airport, you’ll immediately be able to see a Travel Center upon exiting the customs. You can exchange your e-voucher for your Korail Pass (the left one at the photo above). This is what you need to show the tellers for them to issue you a ticket. But if you’ve already decided on a time of leaving Seoul to Busan (or any station for that matter), you can also get your ticket there as well.

Important notes & tips:

1. The KTX trains are super punctual and so you have to be seated at your designated seats as early as possible.

2. Even if there are vacant seat and you want to change, please remember to only sit on your designated seat as travelers from other stations have probably booked that seat you’re eyeing.

3. One-day pass means your ticket is valid from 05:00 of the day to 23:59 of the same day. It’s not measured by 24hours. Meaning, if you leave Seoul at 13:00, you should request for your ticket back to Seoul before 23:59 for your ticket to be valid.

4. If you’ll book your tickets right at the airport like I did, compute the travel time from your hotel’s nearest subway station going to Seoul Station here, and then decide from there which earliest time you will be able to take to make the most out of your one-day pass.

5. There are trains every 10 to 15 minutes so it’s very convenient.

[DISCLAIMER] While this post implies that it is possible to go to these three major cities of Korea in a day, it is highly impractical if you want to see and experience more with the one-day ticket.

I hope this will help you in your travel to Korea! In the next post, I’ll be sharing how to go to BTS Suga’s family restaurant in Daegu.

DAY6 Live Concert Dream in Bangkok Fancam Master Post

All the right things happened for this concert! First, my own ticket won a signed poster, and the ticket that I bought for my friend won group photo. Second, during press conference (and concert), Young K stood right in front of me. And of course; the concert itself was a blast!!! Like last year in #1stDAY6inBKK2015, everyone in our zone jumped up and down from the first song until the end, proving once again that we DAY6 fans can indeed play. On the other hand, the hi touch experience was a bit too rushed for my liking. Nevertheless, I still felt that they all listened intently to what I have to say.

1.) Jae, Sungjin, Young K and Wonpil’s Introductions (Young K vine)

2.) Dowoon’s Introduction

3.) Habits

4.) Like That Sun

5.) Blood red ocean project

6.) Dowoon DABBED

7.) Pandora

8.) Young K x Wonpil Love Me Like You Do (Full version)

10.) Dancing Wonpil, Dowoon and Sungjin during A.M.A.G. (Longer version)

11.) Surprise birthday project for Dowoon

12.) Dowoon playing Beyer No. 8 on the keyboard
