Noryangjin Fish Market - King Crab






First time eating King Crab! It is juicy, sweet and delicious!

Untuk pertama kalinya makan Ketam Raja. Memang sedap !

Price/ Harga  90,000 won  ( shared by 7 pax/ kongsi 7 orang)

Setiap seorang dapat 1 kaki , memang  penuh isi dan manis! Tapi hati2 kaki dia tajam boleh terluka jari .



add on with 1 bowl of rice
We ask the ahjumma to make the crab fried rice inside the body.



Dari kedai ketam yang sama, kami ditawarkan tiram

10,000 won ( but I think we saw another stall with a lot more oysters for the same price lol)

+  Halibut




Each person expenses is around 30,000 won . I did think the seller overcharged us for the cooking fee. She just needs to grill and steam the seafood but she charged us 70,000 ( 10,000 won per person) Rice is usually 1000 woon +  1 fried rice.  I think she could only charged us 5000 won X 7pax = 35000 won.

Tips: find your own stall and ask the price first. Ours was recommended by the crab seller. ( they are affiliate lol) Plus the seller is not local. Anyway, we will be more careful next time plus the crab is already made us happy. Apart from that my friends really enjoy the restaurant's kimchi.


Belanja hangus setiap sorang dalam 30,000 won . Sekali seumur hidup makan Ketam Raja. Tapi lahanatnya  rasa kedai ni cekik darah pergi caj masak 70,000 won.  Kami mintak dia goreng nasi dalam badan ketam, nasi putih ( selalu 1000 won je) , kukus dan bakar sahaja.  Saya rasa paling mahal pun patutnya dalam 35,000 won ?? haha  Tapi tak mengapalah nanti akan datang kami dah tau dah trick dia. Makan kaki ketam tu pun dah goyang2 kaki makan gembira sebab sedap sangat.  Lagipun geng-geng duk tak henti2 makan kimchi restoren makcik ni. Makcik ni orang luar dari negara tembok besar maka macam "oh patutla" harga camni. lol

Tips : Cari restoren untuk masak sendiri dan tanya upah harga masak terlebih dahulu.

Day6 in Daejeon


I  faced a lot of tough choices when I went to Day6 concert in Daejeon.

First, it was on the same day of Wooyoung concert. I never thought of going as the ticket was already sold out. But then JYPe announce additional ticket for Daejeon. When I checked interpark , the most ideal situation happen- there is an available seat for Wooyoung on 9th and there is an available seat for Day6 on 10th. However, if I cancel Wooyoung on 10th I still need to pay, 22000 won cancellation fee .In addition, Day6 concert is in Daejeon- which requires additional transport fee from Seoul to Daejeon and back to Seoul. Well, in the end, I decided it is not every day I can attend to 2 concerts in the same week.


I took KTX around 12 noon wow there is no seat seat left I have to stand 1 hour inside KTX.


Worried that there is no ticket left and I don't want to stand again, I bought in advance ticket for 9.20 pm. I have checked concert duration is 2 hours so the concert will end by 8pm. I have ample time to go to the station. There are quite a lot of people with standing ticket on the train. I guess Seoul- Busan route is the most popular.


Reached Daejeon which is also the hometown of Song Joongki oppa. Daejeon station is linked with Daejeon metro. From there to Woosung university, it takes only one station to  Daedong. The subway  line is way simpler than Seoul.
The concert venue

The management is so nice they give a queue number for the merchandise which means we can eat first before start queuing. Really appreciate it since it is cold. I went to the ttebokki store for lunch. There is a maximum limit of 3 of each merchandise per each person.

Interestingly while waiting I found out that Daejeon has an Islamic Centre. Should I have known earlier I could pay a visit.
The day6 Daejeon PC in the canister is so nice.

My first ticket book altho I went to 2/12 day6 2017 concert

Young K look so cute here but I have to let go of the PC 



The concert :


my view  :



Nice concert guide



Highlights :

1) Day6 is a cheater lol - they ask Myday to sing congratulations while they sing only a bit... lol just joking but I read myday singing is their proudest moment at each every day6 concert.
2) From my limited hangugo Sungjin saying Daejeon is like Jae hometown. Cant really understand the reasoning lol.
3) The out of sync between Jae and Wonpil, which Jae pretend  to go back in time and end " Man in a movie " again lol
4) Wonpil singing Gift is the best gift!
5) Dowoon is the most empathy person, well since he is always on the seat * perks of drummer* he knows audience need to seat too lol ( we were standing for fast songs)

I kind of hope that they will sing their Immortal song cover "Now" at the concert tho. Or maybe the Japan release haha. I guess I expected that because  I went to JYP nation concert and they always updated the song list according to the location and latest release 

When I look at my watch it is already 8.30 pm...otteke? How? I set myself up to 8:45pm and I should go out. The saint whisper" Are you rich to waste another 20k won, Pull your self together, you will end up miss out train to Seoul too"  while the devil "are you really going to miss the encore ? u already spent 60k won to + 88k ( ticket)  to come here, it is just another 20k"....lol. I chose to go out tho...

Only then I know Day6 went to each floor during encore lol and I have aisle seat... ( I don't have time to watch other concert fancam tho so I don't know it is ritual haha)... . Just to ease my mind I just think the opposite, Day6 may go to another fan seat, not me and me miss out the train might force me to buy a standing ticket again. Which consequently, forcing me to find a taxi ( after midnight) to my guesthouse in Seoul lol. My friend also tries to comfort me saying that I make a right choice as she has to take a late train to Seoul.

By the way, I also find a very nice Woosung  University student. I met a couple at the bus stop and they even accompany me to go to the KTX station. We ran together hahaha. I forgot to take down their sns ID tho.
To the Woosung University student who was on Malaysia 2 weeks exchange programme and helps a foreigner to KTX on February 10th: Thank you and  I will buy you a  flight ticket to Langkawi from Kuala Lumpur as a gratitude ( if you decide to come to Malaysia again) well only if he stumbles on this posting. lol

Day6 all the best on your Japan debut !
No fancam is allowed so here is the official MV of their KBS Immortal song appearance "Now":

2PM Wooyoung 1st concert 엥?CALL!



I was a kdrama fan evolve to be a kpop fan. 2PM is the reason behind it. Especially Dream High and of course I love Jason character in that drama. Wooyoung in real life is the most eloquent and funniest to me so I would not miss his Korean comeback after the legendary Sexy Lady. He held a special concert 엥?CALL! for this comeback. The word "engcall " is sound similar to an encore.

The flight ticket was expensive but I just buy the concert ticket first as the best thing about Korean online reservation ticket is that you can cancel them if you are unable to come /buying another seat. Being a promise hottest I got to purchase earlier than the public and of course, my unfit body needs to be in the seated section. I managed to buy it and like a fate Air Asia also hold a special sale using their "Big" loyalty programme. I got to buy the flight ticket at the half price from the original. I bought ticket on 10th ( afterwards JYPe announce the additional concert date on Friday, 9th)





It is Wooyoung first solo concert in Korea although he is an experienced solo singer with a tour in Japan. ( I went to Rose promotion). Anyway, I change my concert ticket from 10th to 9th as suddenly Day6 also open the additional extra ticket for their concert on the same day. The multifandom problem- "you got to attend all". As it was last minute, my cancellation was refunded with  20% cancellation fee from the ticket price. Speaking which I  do think fan club member should get discounted ticket than public ( I am official Igot7 too, fan club member ticket got discounted price to their fan meeting) I would go to Got7 fm too, if it is held on the same weekend with Woo and Day6. Wooyoung will encourage me to go to Day6 too lol, he was the special guest on Day6 April. I would say day6 is his most favorite hoobae.

The day :
The concert location is at Hannamdong Blue Square. The venue is just next to the subway station. I would not miss buying the special merchandise for the concert. Plus I need the lightstick as I don't go to 6 nights. I enter the q, 1 hour before the merchandise opening time.

The merchandise :





The miniature is the biggest hit, sold out in 30 minutes
JYP also organize an event booth "scratch and win " lol . Thanks to Egle I got a gist of the merchandise sale event. I got a button badge hahaha  ( 3rd prize). Interestingly the 4th prize is a photocard ( which I think it is better than button badge)




If you buy 100,000 won you would get a special gift. ( Wooyoung signed card of the day)


I am surprised that JYP does not put a limit on the merchandise.  I got the last key ring of the day. Phew.



Of course, I have to buy at least one of the random photocard ( 3000 won).



My seat is on the 2nd floor ( I only change from 10th to 9th because there is an available seated section ) If it standing I would skip Day6. It is the same section with VIP. After the light is off, I can see JYP and San E come and sit at the first row of my section.

Warning * limited hangugo fan account lol * Wooyoung started the concert with the dancers and going up and down on the 2 levels stage with "얘들아" ( my heart dropped every time he takes the stair -Minjun post effect). After that, he said it is majimak song like what?? but everyone just laughs it off and I think is this the "encore" concept?

Highlight:

  • I was in tears during Happy Birthday as I went to Osaka on March ( my birthday month ) after I registered my post graduate program. Fast forward  I just completed it...it is hell for me. Oh, yup everyone pretended that today is their birthday when MC Woo questions the audience. ( not me tho) 


  • At one time during the talk, the spotlight is not properly on him. Hottest shouted, " We cant see you!"Wooyoung reply " Go get a Lasik "Lol. He is so cheeky.


  • The led stage is very impressive, they change it according to the songs. I love that I got to see Woo's Superman feat Minjun ( JYP nation stage was with hoobaes X Junkay) + DJ goin crazy
  • Sexy Lady- oh man I can't believe that I got to see the stage... I even bought the CD silver and gold version to complete the photo. The fans chant was on fire!
  • He sing 얘들아  again hahaha what unique concept. I got to see Party Shots again too. It seems like we are started on the ending songs section hehe.
  • We got the see  Woo "Morigate Yo" MV Korean Version ( well he is the composer for Got7 song).  
  • Of course, he is saying goodbye and thanks again but the staff already plan this placard event lol so I know woo you don't even sing " I like " yet. He almost chokes at the beginning of I like which makes me in tears again hahaha arayo, I like 2pm too. It just hit me this concert is on 9th before the incident...ahh I can't believe we have to go through that again...we get mad to the person that we love, because we care and love 2pm...anyway please come back as better person Minjun.



Please be happy Uyong! You are the best!
Can't wait to see 2pm as 6 again ( plus  I need to use the expensive light stick again haha)....take care, everyone!
