Red Soul, the first ever acapella group to visit our shore was here the past weekend to promote their album: Stay "있어줘". I went to their fan meet session at Full House, Sunway Giza on April 13 and I must say I really love the cosy feeling in Full House, but more importantly I loved Red Soul serenading to us with their lovely voices. I must also give a thumbs up to all Malaysian K-music fans because the support was great too and I didn't know there were quite a number of people who are anticipating for Red Soul's arrival! :)

Red Soul really know how to capture not just the heart, but the souls of Malaysian girls! I'm very sure now there are still many of us who can't stop playing their songs, regardless it's "Han Yeojareur Saranghan Han Namja" (The One Man Who Loved One Woman), or "Sarangiya Ireon Neukim" (Love is this kind of feeling) or "Ting" etc.
But Red Soul had come a very long way, from changing members, to changing names, to winning various awards; and I personally feel it was Star King in 2009 which brought their name better out to the audiences of the world! I'm very happy for them to gain Malaysians support now!

So who were the 4 lucky girls?
Caught up with them to hear from them!
#1: CALLIE WHO GOT THE KISS!Caught up with them to hear from them!
So what happened actually?
Callie:
Hanulyi was on my right, and when he sang his solo part, he moved a step forward to let ppl know it's his solo
and I took a picture of him. Once I click it, I saw he saw he was looking to my direction through my camera lense. I was a little shock and was wondering that did he really see me taking his picture? Because I was a bit confused that time, I put down my camera and looked at him.
He then suddenly walked forward n jumped in front of me! At that moment, I was thinking "Yeah, I can take up close picture". (That's why you see I was still holding my camera with my right hand.) Hanulyi just held my left hand, looked straight into my eyes n sang! Then Ki Hyun also jumped from the stage and held my right hand!
I know all cameras were facing me and I look very ugly because I just cannot stop smiling. Then Ki Hyun let go my hand and went back to the stage and I didn't expect Hanulyi will kiss my hand before letting go!
Her Korean Things:
How did you feel?
Callie:
I was really shocked and happy! I can't say anything or do anything. At that moment, I can't hear what he sang at all. I don't feel like hearing anything at all. At that moment, I can't take my eyes off Hanulyi. After all, he is my favourite! From the moment they let go my hand until they finished the song, I did not stop smiling at all!
View the video below! Callie's once in a life time sweet seconds started on 3:02 of this video! This video better be kept forever! :)
#2 MIGO WHO GOT THE BEAR!
Her Korean Things:
So what happened actually?
Migo:
I noticed there's a teddy bear on the piano, promoting their album. During the encore part, Kihyun oppa and Hanulyi oppa grabbed the bears and held on to them. Then what I thought was the bears were for fans! It was so cute to see them playing with the bears, especially Kihyun oppa. He passed the mic to the teddy, placed on Hanulyi oppa's shoulder and even kissed the bear! I want the bear, can I? Kihyun oppa then moved towards edge of the stage, passed the bear to the girl in the center - which is me! He passed the bear to me!
Her Korean Things:
How did you feel?
Migo:
I just hugged the bear tight and kissed back the bear, hehe! I have no more complaints about sitting near to the stage because at first we were not comfortable sitting on the first line as it is hard for us to see the boys. But now I know, it is destined for us to sit at the front line, haha! What a joyful day with Red Soul!

#3: JANICE WHO GOT A SONG + A BEAR FOR HERSELF!
 |
| "Only You" for Janice, and her bear! |
Her Korean Things:
How did you feel?
Janice:
Nervous and shy!!!
#4: RUE WHO THINKS SHE HAD A DANCE WITH HANULYI OPPA!
OK I just want to feature myself! Give me an opportunity! Although there were no skinship, no bear, no hug, I have a little story to share too! It was nothing much actually. I wanted to really enjoy their songs so I chose to stand at the back while everyone sat down in front. When they sang, my friend and I were swaying and dancing to their tempo. I forgot what song was it, I think it was "Ting", when Hanulyi caught us swaying left to right and he looked at me and smiled and followed us!
So - I had a 10-step-away-soul-dance with Hanulyi oppa! WAHAHA. OK cut my crap off. Thanks for entertaining my crap.
However, it was great to be able to chat with them during the signature session. They were shocked when I told them in Korean "Your songs are really great and I had a good time, you must come to Malaysia again!". Yes, Koreans are usually surprised when you speak their language, they are proud of their language and they will always respond "Are you Korean?" or "Wah!! Your Korean is so good!! 야... 한국말 잘하시네!"
Anyway I believe some of them have been messaging you girls because Taeik gave a friendly thank you to me:

THE FAN MEET
The performances were great. I like the fact that there were no barriers, no bodyguards and we were all so good and well behave, and very supportive! Red Soul was entertaining, they look into your eyes, they try to speak to the crowd, they ask you to join in their songs, if they call you up, they know how to make you fall head over heels for them.
Most importantly - they are a talented bunch of guys with a great voice. And we all hope these angelic voices stay on and continue to bring us great songs!

So there you go, the stories from 4 girls. I'm very sure Red Soul will be getting more attention from Malaysians and they'll definitely come back again, and again! I love to collect stories from fans or supporters. It's so awesome to be able to feel their happiness through their sharing!
After all, Her Korean Things is a place to share K-Happiness! :)
