[PICS+Fan Account] 120325 Fan meeting after Inkigayo
He picked questions written by fans out of a box to answer but as he picked them and read them out, he said jokingly that they were boring questions and that he wasnt going to answer them.
A group photo with everyone was going to be taken but fans whined because they didnt want to take it all together so they were going to take 10 photos in groups of 13 (about 130 people went) but in the end Dongwookie said, you guys all have mobile phones right? So he took self camera photos with each of the fans one by one on their phones!! Wow!
He told everyone that his upcoming single to be released in Japan is called Love Again and sang a bit of it. At first he wouldnt sing it because he said he couldnt remember the lyrics, so he was looking for the lyrics on his phone but couldnt find it. In the end he just sang whatever he could remember anyway. (Dont know if it’s a fast or slow song but I hear that it’s supposed to sound like a fast song)
The single will also include the Japanese version of When I can’t sing which he recorded alone and really liked.
He also said that he’s happy he is going to Japan since he is 27 years old there (as opposed to 29 in Korea).
He also mentioned that he will try hard to make the solo concert happen this year.

120310 Brief report on Japanese fan meeting in Korea
Here are some details from a fan who went:-
‘The best part was when I got chosen to receive one of the 2 pairs of his pyjamas which he picked from his personal items. They were Paul Smith pyjamas (with lots of colours) and there was an autograph near the left pocket. There was no smell of Se7en and no smell of detergent. ^^ It seems like he’s had them for some time since the colour was starting to fade away. I wore it on stage TTT It will be my treasure for the rest of my life.
He talked about going on Odoru Sanma Goten~ Sanma ssi talked really fast and he couldnt understand so he was scolded by Sanma ssi. He confessed that he used a wig (?) and talked about his friends – JYP, Boa, Big Bang, Rain, Kim Hyun Joong.
His hair was down but was just above his eyes and didnt cover them. He wore a short black leather jacket and black pants. About 110 people attended the fan meeting and it was held in a big room.
He said that another album will be coming out in April or May!Please keep this promise!’

120114 Fan Report of Se7en's new MV recording (3)
By 정규면돼 @ farineli
I’m at the jjimjilbang now after finishing the filming of the MV~Today was like a daebak fan meeting! Really, being so close in front of him for so long was like a dream~Seeing him up close, his eyes were beautiful~so good looking~he looks the best in real life~Before the filming, he came to talk to us, take photos and shake hands~
When we were filming we were also close to him~It still seems surreal that I was in front of him for so long~In the middle when the film set was being prepared, we went indoors to wait~he was like telling us to sing and teasing us that we were tone death lucky se7en~keke it was really funny~Anyway today was the best!

I’m at the jjimjilbang now~I was planning to write this when I got home but coz there’s nothing to do now, i’m going to write it now~Actually, evne though I always want to write a nice account, I always cant seem to remember~I write about what happened after the first lot of people left
After the first filming, the waiting time was long, so we went inside the hall to wait~We went in and were told to sit and so we sat~ on the stage!!! keke~ Oppa walked off the stage and onto the floor~So he said he was a fan and held a chilbong~He massaged his neck and joked around~keke He told fans to sing and teased that they were tone deaf~It was like a mini fan meeting!
That’s it! It’s the same as other people’s right? Sorry but my memory is really bad

Then i replied, yes, first time this year!
Then he looked at me with this wth expression~kekekeke

Heheheheheheheh
First of all, it was the best keke
Although i’ve been to concerts and different shows, today was the BEST!!
People who didnt come really missed out!
So high and I feel so good!
I arrived at about 7 oclock! The filming kept being delayed…then SE7EN APPEARED!
As expected he shone…his looks..
Our lucky se7en, is it because we have aged…even when he appeared, everyone was quiet.. kekeke~ Although oppa might have wanted some loud cheering keke, nearly all the fans there were over 20 kekeke~ When he appeared, he used his eyes to scan all the fans~He said to everyone that it’s been a long time but i dont know if he said that, really remembering everyone
I thought that oppa would come and quickly leave, but he stayed for over 30 minutes~ (we were waiting inside the Ax hall on the 2nd level)~He talked about this and that and then fans asked when his comeback was, whether his title song was a dance track or ballad, about the concept of today’s MV etc but he said that it was secret to most of the questions asked.
About the comeback, he said that a mini album will be released on the 1st February. Haha but i dont trust it keke~ my prediction is that it’s going to be delayed keke~
When asked if there was going to be a kiss scene in the MV, he said that there would be 6 kissing scenes~I dont really trust him kekekek~looking at oppa’s MV up til now, he hasnt had such an MV and the camera director today seems to be from the La La La MV~ (I trust that he will film a beautiful MV)
And also our lucky se7en unexpectedly just kept looking at him calmly keke~and oppa seemed to be a bit embarrassed (?)~when we asked to take a photo with him~ we ended up taking photos with him in groups of 10~I sat next to him for the photo and he shook hands with people one by one~~
But then I was shocked~Looking at oppa’s facial features from the side, i was so shocked..his eyes, nose and mouth..they were all big~there was like no blank space on his face~~I couldnt see his cheek on the other side of his nose~after the ‘fan meeting’, oppa finally went~
Maybe it’s because oppa felt sorry for delaying the filming time, he prepared bread and drinks for us~hehe~filming had not started even at 8 oclock and we ate the rice cake and fish cake which was prepared for us (i ate the fish cake twice)
Finally we started filming! wahahhhhhhhhh oppa jjang!! His clothes, hair, sunglasses..everything looked good! And the poster for the album looked good! I thought that I would be able to hear the new song today but Somebody Else korean version was played while filming instead
When it was about 10:30pm, fanstaff unni said whoever needs to leave first can go~So my friend and I left first~Thank you fan staff unni, se7en oppa who were considerate enough to let ppl go first
After we left, apparently they filmed a 2nd time~

120114 Fan Report of Se7en's new MV recording
I think I had the coldest but yet most unbelievable evening of my life. Going at a concert is one thing, being in front of an artist you love and joke with him is another thing.
Anyway, I’m pretty bad at doing fan report, because my mind is always going everywhere and remembering this and that. As usual, I will just put my memories as they are, no logical order sometimes, just things that got me smiling crazy when I think about it.
I arrived around 6, we went in around 6.45 and then go upstairs around 7. The fan staff was really sweet, and they gave us hot pack, coffee, food and stuff. Taste bad so. SORRY I’M FRENCH AND PICKY ABOUT BREAD AND COFFEE. That’s it. Lol
I don’t remember how much we waited but I kept watching at a little screen control of the room next to ours and I could see what he was filming, random scene of him walking through a door and walking while being surrounded by fake bodyguards, fake photographs (One of them was damn funny we talked to him for ages outside, I gave him my hot chocolate, he was cold.), and fake flashlights.
He finished and from downstairs said hi to us, I wasn’t expecting much after that and updated my twitter, girls around me were like “ooooh” so I looked and BAM he was in front of my face. He came to greet us and talked with us. Since we were two foreigners he talked to us, asking us where we came from and all (I’m from France, the second girl was from Brazil didn’t talk that much with her.) I don’t remember well, he stayed with us for 20 minutes probably more, answering questions and all. Then we all took pictures with him, and we shook hand. Most strange moment of my life : he was talking to me in English, but my mind was blank so I kept answering in Korean, he still understood so it’s okay (lol at picturing myself talking French, Diane, Grace, you know what I mean lol)
Then we had food, and I met a new friend known as SoulBom on twitter, since that moment we stayed together and god damned it was amazing but we had so much fun. Then… I don’t remember, but we stand in line, and usual awkward moment when the fan staff had to say my family name (Italian name yep) so I told them to just say my name. It was and wasn’t a mistake since she remembered it really really well, and when outside we were waiting to get in place, she came, told my name sweetly and then “we need foreigner in the front come with me” BAM I was at the very front. Then we start filming, so the scene was like Seven going out through the door, us screaming, waving and him being… Like a boss. At that time he waved at us, and shook some hands (mine too since I was like the first person in sight) tons of time. I washed it already don’t worry I’m not a psycho lol.
I don’t really remember it was a bit the same, we did that scene like 15 times, and outside, -5°C. We were cold, he was cold. OH YEAH CRAP I FORGOT TO MENTION THE PERFECTION WALKING DOWN ! Perfection usually called Gong Minji lol she came to support her favorite opaa and passed in front of me, she wasn’t wearing hot clothes, damn you little maknae ! So later Seven gave her a hot jacket, I was jealous lol at a time she looked at me from afar and I wanted to say “yes you saw well Minji it’s me indeed” but I would have sound like a stalker lol with @SoulBom we went to the fan staff (after the recording of the first scene) to ask if we could talk to her, I swear this woman is so sweet, she was like “sorry you can’t” but when Minji passed next to me, the fan staff woman screamed my name for me to see Minji lol ♥
Then we waited, outside, and I think Seven didn’t want us to wait in the cold weather so he guide us into a little concert hall (and right there I was right beside him like a good pupil) and made us sit on the stage and he went downstairs and spoke with us for a while. I tried to teach us Japanese, and sorry to hurt your feelings everyone, but his English isn’t that great really. When asking if Brazil was hot all the time he was like “Brazil, summer always ?” Cute, but… Cute ! At one point he asked me if I was cold, I answered him I was about to die, he laughed, my death would have been because of you dear Mister Choi, and he asked me if France was cold, I answered and that’s it. LOL it was so random. He said my Korean was good so… Fuck you exam results, Seven said I speak Korean well, that’s the best A+ ever yeah.
I can’t recall more now, it was also a lot of eye contacts, little talking like “be brave” and stuff, oh yeah ! At a moment, he went in my direction, and the girl next to me Sung Mi (hi new friend :D) and we said “we’re cooold” and he grabbed our hands to warm up our hands, but he was cold too so… But god damn freaking cute !
Now everything is blur… Just the fan staff, I really love them, particularly one of the woman who’s there for every YG event. I don’t know who she is (I used to call her 2NE1 babysitter because we saw her a lot with the girls in the first season of 2NE1TV), but she’s so cute and sweet ! When I left she said my name and “see you next time !” ♥ TT I love you you know ♥ lol
Coldest night of my life, but so amazing memories. The me that was waiting for the university letter last year couldn’t have imagine that kind of moment in Korea !
AND OMG SASU I’M SORRY ! I forget the “coucou Se7en coucou !!!” TwT
And no picture, i didn’t want to be kikcked out.

Detailed fan account of “Hello Se7en in Japan”
Taken from hello7.cn, written by 帆@hello7.cn (originally in chinese, translated by cecilia)
Sorry for writing this so late but over the past few days I have been able to realise just the meaning and the effect that this fan meeting has given me.
I started liking Se7en from junior high and it’s been 7 years now. I used to envy the ones who could see him and I never thought that the chance will come to me. After coming to Japan to study, i have waited 3 years til now for his Japanese comeback! Last year I went to Seoul at Christmas and went to Yeolbong but the whole YG family went I dont know where moving coal!
Actually this time it was the same, the presale ballot for the tickets started one month ago and I had thought to myself “It’s been 4 years since he’s been in Japan so he shouldnt attract that much attention.” But the end result was that I was not picked in the ballot and because I didnt go online, I also missed out on the second round of tickets. There were a few tickets on yahoo auction but they were being sold for 20000 yen!!
So on that day I thought I would just go to buy the goods and on that day, it was before 12 oclock there were already many Japanese fans there lining up waiting to go inside. It wasnt mainly Japanese girls there but Japanese ajummas!
After buying the goods, I stood to the side. They were continuously playing his Digital Bounce album and there was a box for fans to put in their questions for se7en. Lots of mothers wrote on the special question paper and put it in the box. I looked at the sign which said “All tickets sold out” and didnt write any questions since I felt so frustrated.
At 1 pm, fans started entering the venue. I looked at them anxiously, wishing that I could turn into an insect and go inside then transform back into human form. Of course imagination is always beautiful..
At 1:30pm, I saw 2 girls smiling walking out with 2 tickets coming out from the box office and so I ran over to ask. Staff asked me to wait while they checked if there were any spare tickets. There was another 40-50 year old mother waiting with me as well. Praying really does work and I was able to get tickets on the first floor! The mother and I looked at the staff as if we were about to cry and rushed inside after thanking them.
Inside was already filled with people and I stood at the back in the middle. Thanks to my height, I got a pretty decent view. Because photography was prohibited, everyone just stood there waiting and chatting. I took a photo before it started and put my camera away.
The start was a bit late and at about 2:15, fans started chanting his ‘Se7en, Se7en’ and the music changed from Digital Bounce to his Japanese songs. Before 2:30, the lights were dimmed and everyone knew what was happening and the cheering and screaming shook the roof. Se7en appeared singing “Hikari”. He wore a checked suit jacket, black pants, a patterned top with a white collar. Under the spotlight and the reflection of the chilbongs, he looked as if he was radiating light himself. Everyone sang along and swayed the chilbongs while pushing forward, wanting to get closer to the stage.
After the song finished, Se7en greeted everyone and the MC also came on stage, greeting and asking some basic questions. Had to talk a bit about the US (the host – why did have to pick sad things to talk about!) , about the single. The big screen showed a close up shot of his face, his skin was very good but when I saw the lines at the corner of his eyes, I couldnt help but feel a bit of heartache. Celebrities are also normal people! Time has passed by quickly!
Se7en’s Japanese was really not very fluent, he kept umm-ing through sentences and would just look at us. He explained that because he only got to Japan on saturday, his Japanese is still not very fluent. Even though he was able to speak a little more fluently during the interview before, sitting on stage facing the fans made him nervous and so his Japanese was not coming out (laughs secretly).
The cutest part was when the MC asked him about the fan meeting. Se7en wanted to say that this was the closest (qigaku) contact he’s had with fans but instead he said the smallest (qisaku) greeting. After he said it, he realised that he has said it wrong and he got up straightaway and crouched down at the edge of the stage , saying ‘closest, closest’ to the fans, which made people go crazy.
After that, the box with the fans’ questions were brought up to the stage. Se7en was roasting under the spotlight so he took his jacket off. The top he had on inside was very cute!
There were 7 questions and the questions in the front were mainly about what he liked to eat, where he liked to go in Tokyo etc. Se7en said when he arrived in Japan on Saturday he had udon and that he likes going to Meguro (rich guy! ><), and he said he released that some of his fans are new fans from after his comeback so he feels pressure and he said “I will work hard.” This was a line that he said the most during the fan meeting, whenever he couldnt think of how to say something or didnt know what to say he would use this to fill up the space
The last two questions were explosive! The 6th question was from an 84 year old fan! She asked if she could be se7en’s girlfriend! (Grandma, do you not know of Se7en’s girlfriend’s existence!) So the emphasis all turned to grandma’s age, so Se7en walked to the edge of the stage to greet her and told her to take care of her health. The last question was from the daughter of the 84 year old grandma, asking Se7en to give grandma a hug. Although the MC said that there were no stairs to the side of the stage and that it was inconvenient, implying that he wont hug her, Se7en was agile and jumped off the stage to give her a hug and jumped back up on the stage! Warm idol to fan! Se7en wanted to keep picking questions but the MC reminded him that he had picked all 7 already.
After that, he sung Last of Diary and La la la. Then the MC asked us to sing him a birthday song in Korean and the dancers pushed out a cake, Se7en blowing out the candles. Because in Japan he is still 27, he said that since he is 28 in Korea, he came to Japan for his birthday this year, so I’m still 27! He totally showed how he likes to pretend he’s younger!
Then he took 7 photos with the audience in the background to be given to 7 lucky fans. But when he heard that it was to give fans, instead of picking just 7 from the box, he grabbed a bunch. Can you be any better to your fans Choi dong wook!!
Then he put on his jacket and prepared to sing his new song but because sweat got into his eye, he went to the back for a moment to wipe the sweat away.
The first time singing the new song, se7en was nervous but so were we. A warm voice together with a gentle melody line and smooth dance steps, everyone was melted by him. Everyone could only quietly wave their chilbongs to the beat, immersing themselves in the song. So even though I am very sorry to se7en, I had to record a bit of the song !
The song finished and the spotlight went out, and on came a video made of various photos with Startline as the background song, letting both us and him rest a bit. After changing his clothes, he sang Digital Bounce, Better Together and Passion. He rapped himself in Digital Bounce and his voice felt alot warmer than TOP’s, sounded so nice. Passion was ended with his signature handstand, done to perfection.
After he disappeared, everyone didnt want to leave and prepared for encore. At this moment, the MC told us that there was going to be a handshaking session, making everyone excited! So everyone started touching up on their make up. Se7en changed again and came out on the stage for a brief moment making everyone cheer. Do you think it’s very fun testing our heart function all the time huh?
The handshaking session was a bit wth. He stood at the exit, would shake a person’s hand then send them away. As a result I only realised he was in front of me already when he was shaking the hand of the person in front of me. Couldnt the MC warn us beforehand?! I wasted a good chance! So I used the chance to say in Korean to him “Chinese fans are waiting for you!”, although i dont know if he understood or not. But when he was shaking hands with the person after me, he still looked at me and smiled warmly!! My heart was beating so fast! And his big hands were so warm, so skin so soft! Compared to his hands, my hands were like the hands of a labourer! TT After that I preordered the mini album and went home, so happy and so satisfied! After I got off the subway, I walked home rhythmically!
Hmmm… how to say this.. maybe it’s because my brain is a bit slow, I was very calm all the way back home. But when night came, then I knew something was wrong. The 1 minute low quality recording of Angel I made was put on repeat til I went to sleep and I put the goods all around the bed and I didnt feel the slightest bit of sleepiness because I was so excited. The next day at 8am I still did not feel sleepy and wanted to get up to read but my head was full of Angel and I kept laughing crazily to myself. Only then I realised that I was totally gone. I tried to think back to the fan meeting but everything seemed like a dream. So the few days after, even when I was reading, I put his photo in front of me, as if I only had energy if I could see him, as if all troubles would go away if I saw him.
Looking at the photo, the scenes from the fan meet would come rushing back, as if he was really smiling at me then, that warm smile going straight to my heart, moving my heartstrings. Maybe this is the effect that he wanted by having a fan meeting, “Wah” making you obsessed, so that you cant pull yourself out.
Although I know of his girlfriend’s existence and am thankful for her existence, but I could not help but fall in love with the Choi dong wook style smile of this prince! I keep wanting more, wanting to see him more, talk to him more, give him more encouragement and support! “It’s better that I dont meet you, because then I wont love you. It’s better that I dont know of you, because then I wont miss you.”
Choi dong wook, do you know that you are the Angel who has come to us! This happiness, this desire, realisation is all because of you. So please continue to stay by our sides, let us feel your warmth, your good, your thoughtfulness! If you are here, then it’s Heaven Everywhere, so please stay in this moment, Beautiful.
You Are the Angel to Us.

"Angel" - recorded from the actual fan meet
piglet1201
Sorry for writing this so late but over the past few days I have been able to realise just the meaning and the effect that this fan meeting has given me.
I started liking Se7en from junior high and it’s been 7 years now. I used to envy the ones who could see him and I never thought that the chance will come to me. After coming to Japan to study, i have waited 3 years til now for his Japanese comeback! Last year I went to Seoul at Christmas and went to Yeolbong but the whole YG family went I dont know where moving coal!
Actually this time it was the same, the presale ballot for the tickets started one month ago and I had thought to myself “It’s been 4 years since he’s been in Japan so he shouldnt attract that much attention.” But the end result was that I was not picked in the ballot and because I didnt go online, I also missed out on the second round of tickets. There were a few tickets on yahoo auction but they were being sold for 20000 yen!!
So on that day I thought I would just go to buy the goods and on that day, it was before 12 oclock there were already many Japanese fans there lining up waiting to go inside. It wasnt mainly Japanese girls there but Japanese ajummas!
After buying the goods, I stood to the side. They were continuously playing his Digital Bounce album and there was a box for fans to put in their questions for se7en. Lots of mothers wrote on the special question paper and put it in the box. I looked at the sign which said “All tickets sold out” and didnt write any questions since I felt so frustrated.
At 1 pm, fans started entering the venue. I looked at them anxiously, wishing that I could turn into an insect and go inside then transform back into human form. Of course imagination is always beautiful..
At 1:30pm, I saw 2 girls smiling walking out with 2 tickets coming out from the box office and so I ran over to ask. Staff asked me to wait while they checked if there were any spare tickets. There was another 40-50 year old mother waiting with me as well. Praying really does work and I was able to get tickets on the first floor! The mother and I looked at the staff as if we were about to cry and rushed inside after thanking them.
Inside was already filled with people and I stood at the back in the middle. Thanks to my height, I got a pretty decent view. Because photography was prohibited, everyone just stood there waiting and chatting. I took a photo before it started and put my camera away.
The start was a bit late and at about 2:15, fans started chanting his ‘Se7en, Se7en’ and the music changed from Digital Bounce to his Japanese songs. Before 2:30, the lights were dimmed and everyone knew what was happening and the cheering and screaming shook the roof. Se7en appeared singing “Hikari”. He wore a checked suit jacket, black pants, a patterned top with a white collar. Under the spotlight and the reflection of the chilbongs, he looked as if he was radiating light himself. Everyone sang along and swayed the chilbongs while pushing forward, wanting to get closer to the stage.
After the song finished, Se7en greeted everyone and the MC also came on stage, greeting and asking some basic questions. Had to talk a bit about the US (the host – why did have to pick sad things to talk about!) , about the single. The big screen showed a close up shot of his face, his skin was very good but when I saw the lines at the corner of his eyes, I couldnt help but feel a bit of heartache. Celebrities are also normal people! Time has passed by quickly!
Se7en’s Japanese was really not very fluent, he kept umm-ing through sentences and would just look at us. He explained that because he only got to Japan on saturday, his Japanese is still not very fluent. Even though he was able to speak a little more fluently during the interview before, sitting on stage facing the fans made him nervous and so his Japanese was not coming out (laughs secretly).
The cutest part was when the MC asked him about the fan meeting. Se7en wanted to say that this was the closest (qigaku) contact he’s had with fans but instead he said the smallest (qisaku) greeting. After he said it, he realised that he has said it wrong and he got up straightaway and crouched down at the edge of the stage , saying ‘closest, closest’ to the fans, which made people go crazy.
After that, the box with the fans’ questions were brought up to the stage. Se7en was roasting under the spotlight so he took his jacket off. The top he had on inside was very cute!
There were 7 questions and the questions in the front were mainly about what he liked to eat, where he liked to go in Tokyo etc. Se7en said when he arrived in Japan on Saturday he had udon and that he likes going to Meguro (rich guy! ><), and he said he released that some of his fans are new fans from after his comeback so he feels pressure and he said “I will work hard.” This was a line that he said the most during the fan meeting, whenever he couldnt think of how to say something or didnt know what to say he would use this to fill up the space
