posts in BTS Collection

It started like this with BTS + before the Wings Tour concert experience last 2017

April 11, 2018

I posted this blog on the other platform last year (2017) when I started my personal blog.
And now I am going to re-write the blog here as if it's like last year.



I am so inspired to write a personal blog because of this kpop boy group  named as “BTS 방탄소년단 ” in this way I can share my adventure-like situation with them on other people who really adore them too.


HOW I BECAME ONE OF THEM?
I really don't know if I can also be called an "A.R.M.Y (아미)" since I just started to become a fan on their DOPE-era last 2015 if I'm not mistaken. My cousin introduced the song to my little brother who love to dance. Upon listening to the beat, the song made my day brighter. I got curious to the group so I made a research about them. And that was the day I become one of them, the rest is history.  ** A.R.M.Y(Adorable Representative M.C for Youth) is the name of BTS' fandom **

Enough of my explanation, let's go now to the main subject of my blog post.

BEFORE THE MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE

Last July 30, 2016 was the “On Stage Epilogue in Manila”. Together with my cousin, we decided to watch the concert. So the ticketing day was opened and voila, worst scenario the tickets sold out so fast and we’re one of the unlucky fans who wasn’t able to buy concert tickets and it really breaks our heart like seriously we’re so down that day.


Moving forward last year (2017), BigHit Entertainment announced the dates and locations for the BTS Wings Tour and luckily Manila was one of the asian countries that included in their concert list again with 2-day scheduled concert.




I’m at the office that time when I saw the post about their concert again here in Manila. I was like “omg!!! Di ko na to palalampasin!”, “Dapat di na kami maubusan ng ticket”, “Makikita ko na rin sila sa wakas", “Pagdadasal ko to ng bonggang bongga” and that was my monologue when I saw it. See how happy I am.


Ticketing day started last April 2, 2017 at exactly 10am. But before the clock ticks at 10. Together with my cousin, we already prepared our phone and laptop for us to use when we buy tickets online (we do not have credit card cause we’re not RK so we just use Paymaya for this transaction, I’m also worried because there are times that paymaya was down due to some maintenance but luckily its okay for that day).


As the clock turns at 10am, the site for SM Tickets was already down due to many users who will also buy tickets for the concert. It was already 30 mins past the clock and we are losing our faith and hope because we can't proceed. The site always saying “Try Again" error message or it's just the site is being down but I tried it for so many times because I don’t want to happen, what happened last year. It was like this scenario last year (Yung tipong pumila pa pinsan ko non ng pagkaaga aga tapos wala). 
Upon trying and trying so hard, I just keep on refreshing the page (yung tipong maiyak iyak ka na kasi pinaghandaan mo tong araw na to tapos ganyan) but thanks to the fast internet of my cousin. We finally proceeded in buying 2 tickets which is VIP C but we have no choice but to choose Day 1 since it's the only day left. Masaya na kami dito kesa naman sa wala kaming napala diba? Thanks G!



The real struggle that we experienced that day was worth fighting for. We achieved our goal. Our ultimate goal was to witnessed and enjoy their concert with full of energy and fun. And now that we have our own ticket, it is ensured that we can do that.

We are just waiting for that big day which happened last was May 6, 2017. I got really excited for that event and also it was my very first time to watch a kpop concert. (Ayy nako kung alam nyo lang kinikilig na ako iniimagine ko palang yung mga makikita ko that day wooooohhhh!!)




That's all.

BTS GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB 5TH ARMY

April 10, 2018


(Updated: August 17, 2018)
It's been a year and the 4th term ARMY membership must come to an end.
But it's not really the end, it's just a goodbye for the 4th term and hello for the 5th term.


Last April 6, BTS staff posted to their official fan cafe and also to their twitter account about the recruitment notice.
So here I am, excited for this because by the time I saw the post I can't wait for April 9 to come.

Here are some of the details for the recruitment:

What: BTS GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB 5TH ARMY

When: April 9-22, 2018
Membership Fee: 25,000

(shipping fee for overseas is not yet included)
Link on where you can join the recruitment for the 5th term: Interpark-BTS Global Official Fanclub 5th ARMY


Good thing about having the 4th term last year is that, I already have a daum cafe and interpark account so it's not much hassle for me this time. It is the important requirement before you buy the 5th term membership,so you can fully enjoy the benefits of it.

Here's a tutorial on how you can buy the membership at INTERPARK GLOBAL:

1st you need an account to be able to buy the membership, and after you logged in click BUY TICKETS:

And after that, there is a drop down option in which you should change it to "1" to proceed. See photo below:

Here's the a pop-up question once you click NEXT. 
Just click the check box and click SAVE.

Important Note: If you're using mobile phone, this will be the one you will see on your screen:
The question just got cut-out so I advice that you should do it on a computer or laptop rather than on mobile phone when you buy for the 5th membership.

Right after that, you will be redirected to Delivery/Confirmation:


Just fill out the blanks with the information needed and in the latter part you will see COUNTRY button and click it. 

Here is the pop-up window that you will see.

You need to choose your country first,

After that, just click SELECT, and there is a pop-up window again stating the amount of shipping fee that you need to pay. You need to click SELECT and the window will automatically close.

 Below your chosen country, write your exact full address that the membership kit will be shipped to. After you finish filling it up click NEXT.

And now, you will proceed for the Payment Section:
You can choose either domestic or foreign. So if you're not in South Korea you should choose for "Foreign Card".
There is a drop down option that you will choose on what type of card you will use. (They accept credit and prepaid cards.)

You should put here the card details needed,

After you finish it, click NEXT and you will see this,



Check the 2 boxes and click PAYMENT.
And after that you will see a this question on your screen.



It only says here, that if you want to register your membership information now or just do it later. But please do not forget to do this if you really want to get all the benefits of the 5th ARMY membership.
If you wish to continue, just click REGISTER NOW and this will be the next screen that will appear.



You just need to fill up all the required information and click SAVE. And voila! you are now a member of the 5th term BTS ARMY.

But if you wish to do it later, just click DO IT LATER and this will be the screen you will see,



You will see all the details here and there's nothing to do with this but if you want, you can take a screenshot of this if you want to post it on your social media accounts but please hide all the private information and also the confirmation number. Just click the X on the upper right if you are done.

You can still put the information needed if you choose to do it later.
 Log-in first to your account to Interpark site and go to MY TICKET.
You will now be redirected to this,

Click ENTER/MODIFY YOUR DETAILS and you will also see this window,



Just fill out the form and you're done but don't forget to click SAVE.

All in all, you will receive this confirmation email by INTERPARK:



This will be all for now. I will keep this blog updated once I receive my 5th ARMY kit soon.

(Updated: August 17, 2018)
Ooppsss! Hi there! It's been a while since I posted this blog and I came here for the update.

It's been 4 months since I registered for the 5th term and here are some of the updates about it. I will list down below all the details I gathered from the day I registered on Interpark global site to the day that I received the kit.

Date ordered: April 10, 2018
Date received the package: August 15, 2018 at around 2 in the afternoon

I read some news about the kit that you will first receive text message for the schedule date that your package will be delivered. Actually I'm on my way to work and an unknown number called me and surprisingly it was DHL (the courier that will deliver the kit) because I didn't receive any text message beforehand from them at all, so after the call I immediately called my mom that there will be package delivered to our place by DHL.

Here are some of the photos of my 5th term membership kit:



That's all for the update. xoxo!

BTS GLOBAL OFFICIAL FANCLUB A.R.M.Y 4TH-TERM MEMBERSHIP

March 14, 2018

What: BTS 4th Term A.R.M.Y Membership
When: May 8-25, 2017
Membership Price: 25,000



It’s so hard to decide whether to sign up for it because it will cost a lot of money for me. And after I think so hard about this and of course I decided to bought and be a member.

Here are the details of the recruitment happened last May:
*You should be a member of INTERPARK and BTS OFFICIAL FAN CAFE in order to sign up for the recruitment.

So I make an account on both sites mentioned in the application requirements before I go through with the 4th term membership.
At first its so hard to do an account in their official cafe (because i can’t read Korean and..) because even you can have an account there, your level as a member should be “regular member(2)” not the “associate member(1)”. Associate member is what you are or rather it will be your starting level after signing up to the fan cafe.
The fan cafe have special questions that you will answer and make an application for it and make sure that all the questions will be answered correctly in order to be upgraded your level to “regular member(2)”
I failed that when I first tried but after that I have successfully passed it and my level went from an associate member(1) to regular member(2).


But I actually applied first for the 4th term membership recruitment before I tried to apply for level up in the cafe. LOL! Luckily I passed it. And yes! I successfully joined the 4th term membership recruitment. Thank you for the instructions I found on Google.
I ordered it last May 16, 2017 (it was evening that time as to what i remembered :D)

Let’s move to the day the kit delivered to my place (I’m from the Philippines btw)
I received an email from interpark about my tracking number on the 22nd of September and it says there that the estimated day of delivery of my kit is on the 26th of September.
So the other day, I’m shook when I got home (23rd of September) after my work, my kit was already there waiting for me at our house.




The kit was kinda heavy (yes because i think it weighs 1kg based on what it says in the box)
Let’s see what’s inside the box now:


 This box have a magnet so it sticks when it closes.






I really love the packaging of the kit. The photos are so adorable, cute and full of colors even though i don’t understand the Q&As there (pity me for not knowing how to read korean). I can really say that it’s worth waiting for. It took 4 months i think, before it arrived to my place. I made the right decision last May 2017. Yay!
I’m now officially an ARMY! ❤


If you have questions regarding this membership recruitment you can post it in the comment section and I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Thank you!

BTS Wings Tour In Manila Day 1 Experience

What: BTS Wings Tour in Manila Day 1
When: May 6, 2017
Where: Mall of Asia Arena Pasay City
Time: 7:30PM



It's my very first kpop concert that i have attended. OMG! The feeling was surreal! Words can’t even describe what I really feel while watching them perform on stage.

Let’s get it started because I'm too excited to share my experience with you guys.

The day that we've waited for so long has finally come. It was rainy saturday morning and together with my cousin we leave our house at exactly 11:00am because we knew that we will consume almost 2-3hours (due to some traffic in Manila) for us to arrive at MOA Arena.


And hours passed by real quick, we finally arrive at the venue. So as usual, the first thing we do was we had our lunch at Bonchon.

By the time we finished our lunch, we decided to roam around the arena.
There are so many people/fans waiting outside the concert venue and there’s this thing “standee of BTS members” so we took advantage to have a selfie with them but unfortunately due to long lines we wasn’t able to take selca with each of them. And here are some of my photos with them taken by my cousin.


I'm so upset that time because we doesn't even complete the photo with the members standee due to many people in line and the sun was scorching hot that afternoon.

After the photo session, we find our line for VIP C section.
The staff said that they will let us inside the venue at exactly 5pm but you know what they called “Filipino Time” was real that day. I could even estimate it, because they let us inside the arena at 6pm. Almost 1 hour waiting in line, too crowded in one summer day here in the Philippines, just imagine how hard we endure the hot weather outside.
While waiting for the concert itself, there are music videos of BTS playing on screen. And at exactly 7:30pm the concert starts. (I'm so impressed with Koreans, they really know how to take responsibility with the time that they were giving for all of their events.)
The concert started with Not Today performance, and they do some intro’s before they fully start with their performances.

Here are some photos I've taken during the concert:



Favorite scene that I saw that day :)











The quality of the photos are not high quality, but I really treasured it the most.
This was one of the best day in my life. Hope to see them again soon.
