Kpop Convention experience + JYJ Album

Hello everyone! So, as with my previous post, I did went with my sister at the 2nd Philippine Kpop Convention held at the PICC tent. There are so many people! The line in the entrance gate when we arrived is so so long and it got worse because the sun is shining very brightly and hot. Luckily, I did bring an umberlla and we already ate an early lunch before going there.

When we got inside (Around 12:30pm..it opened at 10am), almost all the stuff for sale are already depleted because a lot of people have already bought them. I got sad coz I can't buy any stuff from our booth (Cassiopeia..DBSK fan club) coz there are already finished. Stuffs from other booths are too expensive for me too coz they are original and from Korea and Japan. Can you believe that a single plastic folder with a Super Junior picture was selling for Php650?! Or that a plastic fan with Donghae's face is selling for Php 400? "Oh, my gosh! That's too expensive!" is what keeps on popping in my head during my tour. And I also keep on chanting inside my head whenever I see something I really really want (like a magazine or a calendar), "That's too expensive and impractical." I really thought that I'm going home empty handed but when I chanced upon a booth in the back part of the tent, I got so ecstatic because I saw a very big poster of JYJ and on the table are a lot of pictures of the three! And that'ss the point when I went crazy haha ^_^

I'm not sure if you all know but I'm a Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK)/Tohoshinki (THSK) fanatic. I got so sad because of the impending disbandment of the group because of the case filed by Jaejoong, Yuchun and junsu (JYJ) against SM Entertainment. I really hope this case will be finished and DBSK will be a group again. I really believe that they are the BEST group in Kpop fandom because ALL of them have great voices, can dance very well, can act and has very dynamic personalities that when they guests at variety shows, you will definitely be entertained ^_^

I really miss seeing them perform as group...Although I admit, I got really euphoric when i learned that JYJ released their album THE BEGINNING. All of their songs are in English so I have no problem understanding them. Plus, they have great collaborations with Kanye West and the like..I'm really happy for the three who had a hard time working because of the legal case they are facing. I'm really glad I can still hear them sing even though they are lacking two people.

And guess what? All the stuff (the poster, tshirt, pictures...) in that booth that I mentioned? Well, they are not sold individually but as a package! That's the content of the controvertial limited edition of JYJ's The Beginning album. JYJ only released 90,000 copies all over the world and it is said that only 50 copies reached the Philippines. And I got lucky coz they brought with them extra copies of the album during the Kpop Convention! I got myself one even though I did not reserved and I really am the happiest person that day after purchasing it haha! ^_^

*Warning: Photo heavy*

Here's a shot of me being so happy..I can't wait to reach our home and open it so just went ahead and open the album inside our car haha ^_^

Look at that smile...can you still doubt me when I said I went crazy with happiness? haha ^_^

Here's the content of the package:

1. Album - CD, photo album w/ lyrics, pictures
2. Poster
3. T-shirt

POSTER

T-SHIRT

ALBUM Box

When you open the album box, it has 3 layers. First layer is the CD itself. Then, if you lift that up, you'll find the photo album and the photos at the bottom :)

The photoalbum contains pictures of JYJ and the lyrics of their songs. And I will tell you, the pictures are to die for! They are gorgeous!

*first page*

I did not take a picture of all the pages but I decided to show you guys the pages with their name on it ^_^


And here's the "ID" that shows what copy of the album you got. And I got Album Number...

*last page of the booklet*

And this is the content of the red package. Printed out pictures of the three! Almost all of the pictures inside the photoalbum booklet is printed like a postcard! I really am planning in putting these photos in an album to preserve them ^_^

Guys, sorry about these three photos. I don't know why they rotated like that when i uploaded them...But I hope you can still enjoy them ^_^

My rating:

1. Album package - 5/5 - i really hope all the artists I like will come up with something like this haha I really love that it comes in such a nice packaging and full of eye-candy :)

2. Price - 3.5/5 - It's really too pricey. I think i've paid Php2,800 for this package...it really did create a huge hole in my wallet :(

3. CD - 4/5 - I love that the songs are in English. I think it's safe to say that this is an R&B album. my only gripe about this is that, it sounds more Western than Eastern. I love DBSK because of their pop sound and I'm not really a fan of R&B music...but I still love them. :)

Note: I love the soundtrack of Sangkyunkwan Scandal more though haha ^_^

I hope you all enjoy this post! I just wish you will give me credit if you want to use my photos in your blogs.

Thank you for dropping by! Let's keep the faith!
