Chapter 17 (Part 1): Preparation Time - My K-Pop Experience

October 2018

Back to uni.

I had to repeat some modules again after failing them...Serve my right.

I was starting my course at the end of October, so I had some time to put my plan together.

(Bruh, why am I like that...)

Anyways, focus focus focus!

First, I decided to create some DIY flyers using the thumbnail of the BTS - VICTIMS OF SEXUAL PREDATORS? video...Yes.

I also wrote an empowering message on them to compel fans to take actions...Yes.

Once both tasks were done, I headed towards the library to print 400 leaflets...Yes...no...

The bombastic side eyes I got with the printer that didn’t seem to finish. I kept hoping that no one would come close to me to see what I was doing. Four hundred does not sounds like a lot compared to the 20,000 fans soon to be attending the event.

But printing ain’t free for students lol.

Four hundred leaflets printed in colour were more than enough for my broke self.

Then, I had to cut each one of them by hand...Yes.

Secondly, if I had something for the fans then I should also make something for the “Pied Pipers” isn't it?

You have no idea how big my faith was at that time.

Nothing could have stopped me.

I believed I had the full support of God and a backup of armed angels ready to make a way.

I had grouped some bible verses for each individual and wanted to write them on flashcards (which should have been used for something else). It would have taken far too long to write them, so I typed them and headed to the library.

This time there was a queue behind me...

But I only had 20 pages to print, so the embarrassment did not last too long...

It did last long...

“God what should I do?”

I still had to cut these 160-200 bible messages and stick them on each flashcard.

But there wasn’t much time left.

The first day of the concert would be tomorrow and it was far from finished. So, instead of sacrificing my sleep and stress myself for nothing, I decided to take my time and go to their second day concert.

D-1

I had to recheck where I was going, what time I should be leaving, playlist songs, and rehearsing what I would be saying if a microphone was divinely handed to me.

Everything was done and packed.

Finally.

My awakening was brutal but necessary to complete the following tasks:

1. Read my devotional

2. Get prepared

3. Eat...I wasn’t sure if I would ever be able to eat again...

4. Check itinerary

5. Check bag

6. Pray

By 6:30 AM. I was out and on my way to the train station.

The time of a great revolution had finally come.
