Title of the post: A staff turning into pandaΒ
The fondness towards Apink builts up like this......
On the fanmeeting day before Apink arrive for rehearsal, I was drinking while squatting at the backstage (my way of squatting is not that nice/polite)
At this time, they suddenly arrived.
They came in through the back door, walking right in the front are Chorong and Eunji.
They smile and bow 45 degrees to me when they saw me squatting (not so nicely) there.
I thought "Wow, they are too polite".
After that, their manager brought them to the stage to get familiar with the stage,
they happily goes around the stage, smiling and bowing to the staffs,
at that moment, I decided that I must provide them with the best quality service.
After familiarizing with the stage, it's time for them to get their mics & monitor headphones.
I'm really impressed by them, honestly speaking, I always think that respecting the staffs shows the artist's professionalism.
While receiving the mics & monitor headphones, they did it orderly and punctually,
they even spoke in mandarin, telling us their number & requests,
after they got it, they also said thank you and smile at us.
The cutest is Namjoo, "I..I..I'm no. 5"
Although it's kinda hard for them to speak in mandarin, but they are willing to use mandarin to communicate with staffs, they are so worthy of respect.
Since I don't know korean, I said to them "nice Chinese", and they laughed.
After that is rehearsal time.
Because usually other Kpop groups who came to perform in Taiwan lipsync, so a few staffs on the sound system team were thinking that Apink will do the same too.
However, they sang all the song live, and their singing ability and knowledge of handling the mic are quite good,Β
making me putting on the earphones to listen to their singing (I haven't did this for a long time).
All I can say is, Eunji is really great.Β
Also, after the rehearsal, they told us they have no problem with our way of managing the audio.
The feeling of being trusted is so good, based on my experience,artists with good singing ability usually will not trouble the sound system team.
All I can say is pandas have good eyes (for liking Apink) XD
Next is performing time.Β
One thing worth mentioning is, the accident where a fan fell from the stage, I can see all the worries clearly shown on their face.
The organizer was telling them from the backstage to continue on, but they stay at the spot, continue worrying about that fan.
Lastly, I really hope the next time they visit Taiwan, I can serve them as well.
Even if not as a staff, I will also sit in the audience to cheer for them.
