Sydney Fanmeet 7 June 2008

written by Cecily

On 7 June 2008, TVXQ Australia held its first official fan meet in Sydney with 29 fans around the area attending. The day consisted of games, lunch, shopping and of course, Karaoke. Organised by Widya and Sorcha, also known as fairy and Xenatia on TVXQ Australia, the fan meet was a huge success. The aim of this day was to unite the all TVXQ/DBSK/THSK fans around the Sydney area. On the same day, the fans also had a chance to celebrate Micky Yoochun’s 22nd (23rd in Korea) Birthday, in courtesy of Helen, who supplied the cake, as well as a lot of merchandise for the other fans to admire, play with and buy.

The day started at 10AM at Belmore Park, where the fans approached the scarylooking nice two ladies dressed in red who were blowing up the red balloons for everyone to play with, and almost EVERYONE wore red, which was fantastic for the group photos. Of course, everyone was shy at first, but then some of us took out our merchandise and everyone began to fangirl together. Before we left for lunch, we played Trivia and everyone was surprised by the answers they heard. Next came lunch at MillioRe where everyone enjoyed the delicious Korean food, and for some, tried it for the first time. They also wrote the post cards for the “Hello, We Exist!” Project organized by TVXQ Australia . Soon, it was time for shopping! We walked all over the city and went to various asian music stores where many bought TVXQ and other asian band’s merchandise. As everyone waited for Helen patiently, they sat around the park near the Entertainment Centre, where many people stared and pointed curiously. Soon, Helen arrived and everyone jumped and shouted with excitement as she approached with a suitcase which everyone assumed was the DBSK goodies, and they were right! It was. Together, we all walked to pick up the cake that Helen ordered and walked together to Sydney Karaoke on George Street, where the fans celebrated Micky’s birthday, enjoyed the cake, received their goodies and sang their hearts out.

The TVXQ Australia Sydney Fan meet was a huge success and everyone had a great time. Our aim was accomplished and it was a great experience for everyone to meet new people that had the same interests. Everyone that attended went home with a Happy Micky Day goodie bag, a bunch of new friends and less money that they had brought earlier. A big thanks to Widya and Sorcha for organizing this event and Helen for supplying everyone with DBSK goodies and cake.
