東方神起 | 동방신기 - Paris Ice Cream - (THSK | DBSK | TVXQ)

GUESS WHAT GUYS?! The mission has been completed! I just received word from Helen over the phone! At first it was like ‘Hello? LeeYen?.. AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH’. She asked me to post this so, I’ll go over the entire story. Be warned, it is long.

Basically my friends and I arrived at the hotel around 1:30PM. We kind of waited around the lounge of the hotel because we received word that JaeJoong was coming down. We really wanted to talk to the manager so we waited for him to. When he came out, we got one of my friends, Narly, who helped to translate the letter/card we gave with the hampers (along with Winnie), to go up and talk to him. Basically what we got her to say was:

We’re fans representing an Australian TVXQ forum called TVXQ Australia, and we have gifts for the members, YooHwan and the staff to officially welcome them to Australia.

He told her that she could give it to him now but we couldn’t because it had not been made yet. So, by the time we were going to talk to him again to clarify the situation, JaeJoong came out of the elevator. One of the best yet, scariest moment of my life. Why? Well because JaeJoong looked really pissed off at the fans loitering in the hotel lobby and outside on the hotel property. He did look like how fans describe him. Angel-doll like? (Helen don’t laugh! AHAHA).


So! We couldn’t clarify the situation with the manager because he had left with JaeJoong. My friends and I didn’t want to waste time so we went up to the hotel room to build the hamper, well it actually turned out to be a big box with 2 gift bags ahaha Credits to SuJin, JaeYeon, Anita and Cynthia for packing and wrapping everything. Much love to you guys!!! While they were doing that, Helen, Narly and I decided to go look and buy some open shoes for men to give to the Park brothers mainly because some fans had wrecked YooChun’s favourite pair. Found 2 pairs, bought by Helen. The more you look at it, the nicer it looks I guess.

We practically just chatted for 2-3 hours waiting for the boys to return so we can talk to the manager. But unfortunately they didn't return until after my friends and I had left. I asked one of my friends who works the hotel if she could bring it up to the boys. Unfortunately because we had a box and security wanted to have a look inside because it might be a bomb threat. You have to understand that it’s for security and safety reasons for not only the recipient but also for all of the hotel guests and staff, along with neighbouring businesses (and for image and reputation sake). Well, we didn’t want it to be opened by security because the box was packaged with no easy way of opening it without destroying the pretty bow that SuJin had tied. So Helen and Alice decided to wait until the boys had returned from their dinner to give it to the manager specifically. Now this is where the fun stuff begins.

When the boys returned, Alice quickly ran up to the manager! The other fans thought that she was going to mob the boys. So they quickly ran up to them too. But Alice was like: ‘MANAGER!!! MANAGER!!! MANAGER!!!’, while the fans were like: ‘BOYS!! BOYS!!! BOYS!!!’ So I think the boys were a bit lost at why Alice was doing that and the manager seemed happy and thought that she was his fan!! Well I can’t remember the order from this point on, but I think it was like this:
Helen and Alice couldn’t really speak to the manager right away kuz they had to take the boys to their room. So they decided to wait a bit in the lobby. Apparently the co-ordi’s came down and tried to shoo the fans away and the two tried to explain that they had gifts for them. The co-ordi’s said that they didn’t want it and that Helen and Alice could leave it with reception so then they can decide what to do with it. But Helen said she didn’t want to because some of the gifts were expensive. When the co-ordi’s asked what gifts and when they said ‘food’ the co-ordi’s rolled their eyes. (I know -__-). Well I think they knew that Helen and Alice weren’t one of those annoying psycho fans so they left them alone while they tried to make the others piss off.

Now, a while later, a manager came down and talked to Helen and Alice again but he left because I think JaeJoong called him. But he came back down again. When that happened, the two tried to explain to the manager that we were Australian fans from the forum (TVXQ Australia), and that they wanted to give presents to the boys, YooHwan and the staff to officially welcome to Australia. The manager’s English wasn’t very good so he kind of had this one word reply.

Alice: Get your friend on the phone to talk to him!
Helen: *thinking the manager is Japanese* CHOTTO MATTE!!

Helen quickly runs up to her room, grabs all the presents, runs back down and gives it to the manager. The manager seemed really happy!! Because there was like 1 huge box and 4 huge bags to carry, which is a lot for one man alone they were REALLY heavy, the manager somewhat hinted that the girls could help him bring it up. Although some of you may find this stupid, you have to respect this, they didn’t want to because it’d be awkward. Yes you get to see them but what are they going to do?! Kiss and hug you?! Well I myself would find it awkward to go to their hotel room(s). Ok as the manager was leaving, well before he left, he shook the girls hands and said thank you in Korean. He said that they were happy to receive the gifts.

YAYYY! Mission complete!!!


On another note, when I saw JaeJoong, he did look pissed that there were a lot of fans there waiting. He’s there as Kim JaeJoong, not YoungWoongJaeJoong the celebrity. He’s on holiday. He doesn’t want to be harassed 365 days of the year. I know it comes with being celebrity but it’s not like he asked to be harassed. He’s just doing what he loves, and being a celebrity does not mean that he can control his feelings all the time. They do have their pet peeves and having fans follow him around was one of them.

Basically what happened was my friends and I were sitting in the lounge which was about 10-20 metres away from the exit of the hotel. We had this glass barricade so we couldn't exactly run towards him. We sat, chatted, and nursed 1 drink for 3 hours until JaeJoong came down. His face was as dark as ever. You could tell he was really annoyed at the fans screaming and such, because the fans ran after him in an instant. It was like the scariest thing I’ve seen. Like a lioness after an antelope. My friends and I stayed in our seats not even screaming (just admiring the view keke).
So please try and give the boys some privacy. If you want to stalk them, don’t let them see you!!! Seriously, it’s like when you secretly get a boyfriend/girlfriend, you go on a date and your parents are secretly following you around.

Helen told me that she and Alice decided to have one last stalk. When the boys left again, I think it was just JaeJoong, YooChun and YooHwan that went, the girls hopped into a taxi. The taxi driver was crazy! He was like ‘I’ve never chased a celebrity before! But I’ve always wanted to do it!’ he drove at what felt like 120km/hr and kept up with the boys. Guess what they were doing?! Just admiring the Sydney city life. The didn’t do anything very celebrity like, just normal stuff. They sat down, had a couple of beers, they took photos. They were laughing and having a good time. They even took off their hoodies, caps and sunnies. They weren’t going disguised!! Well the three then headed towards this place and sat on the grass chatting, having a great time and enjoying each others company. During that time, that’s when the three knew that Helen and Alice had followed them, but they didn’t care because they knew that the two were keeping their distance, 100m distance. After a while, Helen and Alice decided to leave them alone. The girls waved and the boys smiled and laughed.

NOW! I’m telling you guys this because it seems like they can’t have fun unless it’s wayyy after hours. We’re glad that they’re enjoying their time in Sydney, but we hope that they can enjoy and create more fond memories of their time in Australia while they still can as they’ll be flying back by the end of the week. So fans, I am asking you to please keep your distance.

P.S. Please do not ask me about which hotel they’re staying at or where the boys were throughout the day because I will not disclose that information. I’m not being a selfish fan firstly because I do not stalk and secondly I’m respecting their privacy. And if the locations that they were at were pleasant, I’d want them to be able to go back again.
