Because GD Needs More Love

So, I remember thinking that GD was the meanest one to his fans in Big Bang. I'd read fan accounts and for some reason... that was always my perception of him. 
I was so wrong. And because I may not be the only one who had that perception of him, I've decided to share my fan account. ^^
Here goes: 
So, I went to YG one night, expecting no one to be there. I got there and heard that GD was inside! I waited until he came out and then called out to him in English, "GD! I'm your fan!" 
He stopped and looked at me, so I said, "Can I have your autograph?"
He kind of gave me a weird look and then got into the van. 
So I thought that was it: this was the GD I had heard about.
I was so wrong.

I went back to YG the next day, and I talked to my friend about what had happened and she told me that it's because he doesn't know English very well.... O_O
So, this time, I told myself that I'd call out to him in Korean. Lucky for me, he was there again. His fans were waiting with presents outside. He finally came out and accepted the presents. He bowed to all his fans! His biggest fan hung back a bit, but GD asked his manager to call her over. She went to him and he told her that he'd be back later! She didn't even ask him!
I was amazed. This was not the GD I'd heard about! I thought he usually ignored his fans. Total surprise!
Anyway, we decided to wait for him to come back. 15 minutes later, a white Bentley zooms by. We were like: O_O Where is he going?!
10 minutes after that, it comes back and goes to park. I ran to the YG lot and waited a distance away. This time, when he got out of his car, I called to him in Korean "GD! I'm your fan! Please give me your autograph!"
He came over to me and started signing. Of course, this had to be when my pen decided to run out.
He was like, "...is it funny?" (in English. I just love how I talked to him in Korean, and he talked to me in English xD)
And I started babbling about how I was sorry my pen ran out.
He said, "...What's your name?"
Haha. I spelled it out for him and then he drew a heart and gave my book back to me. He waved and said "Bye bye" and walked in.
So cute haha. He was so nice!

My friend still says I'm very lucky to have gotten his autograph. But, I think GD's just misunderstood. He's actually very nice to his fans. ^^v

Special Announcement

So, I have decided to delete all the posts on the blog.
Trust me, it's taken me quite a lot of thinking to come to this decision. I know to some people my posts may not be that big of a deal, but to me they are.
I know if I had discovered my own blog a year ago, I would've been ecstatic. Not many international fans have this kind of experience, and I know that. When my blog was first discovered a few days ago, I was excited. However, after seeing it up on various different sites and reading the comments... I changed my mind.
I don't want there to be any kind of negative speculation just because of what I wrote.
The rumors flying around have been a bit scary too, and I don't want to say something I'm not supposed to. (Case in Point: GD's car. I definitely had no idea that international fans didn't know about it. It makes me wonder if we SHOULD know about it.)
Thus, my blog has been shut down.

But, I do know that there may be more fans after me who will visit YG Building. So, I've decided to post up a few rules that I myself learned while visiting.

Rules for YG Building:

  • DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEO of the backup dancers, managers, trainees, and, of course, the stars themselves. You may, however, take pictures of the building when they're not there.
  • BE RESPECTFUL to the other fans there. They have been visiting the building far longer than you have, so please, give them space. If they want to talk to you about the stars they will. Don't annoy them. ^^
  • KNOWING KOREAN would be useful. The fans there, if they talk to you, don't know much English. And knowing a bit of Korean before going to Korea is obvously helpful.
  • KEEP QUIET in the area. Please remember that YG Building is near apartments and home residences. Squealing over cute trainees and stars in the middle of the night is NOT a good idea. You'll get yelled at and cussed at by that scary crazy lady.
  • ASK PERMISSION for pretty much everything from the fans. Again, they know a lot more than you do. For autographs, (even pictures of the building to be safe), ask the fans first. They may even help you. If they say no, don't push it.
And that's about it. I know everyone reading this probably knows to do all the rules listed above. My intention is not to insult your intelligence. I merely feel obligated to put this up. I'd feel responsible if YG got a lot more visitors just because of my blog.

Anyway, if you have any questions about Seoul, do feel free to email me at: bittersweetloneliness@gmail.com

I'm sorry for disappointing those of you who wanted to read my other/future visits to YG and various other K-Pop adventures.
