I met Taeyang

October 28, 2011


I'm gonna do a long post right now. And a very unimportant post for probably most of you people. But if you know the band BIGBANG, go ahead and read. If you don't and yet still curious, come join. But if really don't know anything about the band or the K-Pop world, and you do not have any interest towards it at all.. I suggest that you skip this post and just click next or close the window.



I'm not sure if this is even worth telling, but as a fellow VIP, I'd like to share my experience anyway.

I just came back from a holiday in Korea a week ago. It was a 10-days-trip and it was amazing. But, out of all the experiences that happened there, my last day was the most memorable one because I met one of BIGBANG's member - Taeyang.

So it was the last night and my friend and I didn't have any plan to do for our last day in Korea. So, we decided to stay up all night and 'camp' in front of YG Ent building. LOL. After eating in Yeolbong Hongdae (Se7en's restaurant) we headed to YG Ent building. It was around 11.30 PM when we got there.

There were a lot of fans there. There were about 8 Japanese fans, 2 Chinese fans, 2 Korean onnie fans and 2 Indonesian fans (which is me and my friend; although my friend is actually a Blackjack and not VIP). So, we thought... oh hey, this is great, we're not alone.

But after a few hours, there was no sign of BIGBANG at all. The Korean onnie had been asking to everyone that walked out of YG Building whether or not they have seen BIGBANG; but all of them answered that didn't know or they haven't seen.

The Chinese fans were the first to leave. Half an hour later, the Japanese fans finally gave up. Leaving only me, my friend and the 2 Korean onnie. We talked and we waited for another hour. I have to remind you, it was 10 degree Celsius at that moment and it was COLD! (especially for a tropical country citizen like me) So the onnie said maybe the boys wasn't inside because there was no other fans waiting. So they decied to head to BIGBANG's dorm. But, I had feelings they were inside, so I stayed.

It was 3.30 AM and still there was no sing of BIGBANG. At around 4 AM, three Japanese fans came and the 2 onnie came back again and said that BIGBANG was not in dorm also. So, I had greater feelings that they must be inside; whether it's Taeyang or GD or Seungri. But, not long after the onnies decided to go home and give up, since they had to go to work on that day.

It was getting colder and I needed to go to the toilet badly. So, I walked up to the security ahjussi and asked if I could use the toilet. So he said to follow him. He took me to YG Ent's back building and the toilet was awesome! Hahaha. Automatic toilet. So I thought, hey although I didn't get to meet the artist but at least I kinda went inside YG Ent's building and dump on their toilet.

I walked out, and as I was walking out across the garage, YG Ent's main building door opened up. And a man was laughing. I knew and recognized the voice. Turned my head. Ta-dah!! It's Taeyang! I was surprised. Taeyang was too. He prolly thought 'How come there's a fan inside the building?'

Security ahjussi told me to move out, so I did. Then I rushed out of the building and took my BIGBANG novel. Taeyang's car had started to drive out of the building but thankfully not so fast. So I jogged a little to chase it. I offered the book and asked him to sign it. At first he said not to the Japanese fans who was asking for photo, but thankfully he agreed and took my book. The car finally stopped and I hang out in the car window~ LOL

He signed it. And asked, 'Where are you from?', I told him I was from Indonesia. And he was, 'Oh... When are you going back?' Told him it is tomorrow, so it's my last day and it's cold, so please be nice and sign it. Hahahahaha. So he asked for my name and I spelled it for him as he wrote it on the book. And he wrote God bless you and I said, God bless you too Tae! And then we shook hands and he smiled. And then the car drove away.

He's so sweet, such an angel. I managed to keep myself amazingly calm while I talked to him, but afterwards I couldn't help but jumped up and down. And squealing and start squeezing and hugging my friend because I couldn't believe it was real. 

Anyway, that gave me hope that GD was inside the building too. It was 5.30 AM so we waited longer until 6 AM. But at around 5.30 AM, even YG himself had gone home, so I thought where's GD????

Finally a man walked out of the building, start the car and parked it right in front of YG building. It waited there for half an hour, that I started to think is this man sleeping in his car? But suddenly another man walked out of the building. With a hat, white large hoodie. It all happened so quickly, I couldn't see the face clearly. He hopped on the car and just went away. It's so sad. But I have a great feeling it was GD. The walk, the style and everything and remembering that he's always the last one out of the building; I'd like to believe that at least I've seen GD's back (T____T)

So anyway, I only got to meet Taeyang, but that was more than enough. This was my first time ever in doing such a thing. I have never done anything like it before; so I'm glad it had a result.

What impress me the most is that, I had actually prepared myself to face an arrogant idol; although I am a fan, I had thoughts that there is a possibility that even my BIGBANG boys would be arrogant to fans. But Taeyang was an angel. When he talks and ask questions, he stares at you right in the eye and actually communicate with you. I like that. There aren't a lot of people who do that anymore nowadays.

So, although it wasn't a grand meeting. But I really wanted to share it. 



P.S: I'm so so so so sorry that I'm writing stupid long like this.
