a letter, a heart to remember
John Park - Falling.
Caption from LoenEnt youtube channel :
Release of John Park’s 1st album “Knock” on Feb 22nd 2012.
John Park had the opportunity to reflect upon himself and give more thought to his career in the K-pop scene as he saw other musicians from audition programs release their albums. The time he took to ponder on the fact that music should contain ideologies and emotions and what about him he should express instead of thinking how to show himself has helped him to mature.
Moreover, he became more driven towards his musical accomplishment by working with Kim Dong-Ryul and Lee Juck. Kim Dong-Ryul guided him in a musician’s attitude toward music and helped provide the foundation for further musical development. The experience was more than enough for self-retrospection on one’s energy, mind, and musical philosophy as a musician.
“Falling” is John Park’s first title song which he also produced. The pop-like track was composed by the British composer Andy Platts, Jodie may Seymour and the lyrics written by John Park himself. The song brings out his clean and fresh vocals as he calmly sings in falsetto the melancholy lyrics.
The tracks in John Park’s album contain their own unique musical color unlike the trends prevalent in contemporary music charts. It contains the reason as to why it took so long for him to prepare for his album and is an answer for fans who have been waiting for his music. His voice penetrates the ears of the listener, with his unique tone that has become denser, touching the hearts of those who hear his music.

i supposed to watch this vid long time ago but always busy and forgot. its a great song and great music video. John’s clear voice and the melody is just too addicting! i can’t stop repeating this song. humming while listening to it tho i dont even memorize the lyric.
for some reason this song sounds so British to me and turned out some brit producers composed it keke.i cant get over the vid! it really blew my mind :)
and i like this caption from its official youtube channel:
“The time he took to ponder on the fact that music should contain ideologies and emotions and what about him he should express instead of thinking how to show himself has helped him to mature”

so John, keep making good music!! Hail to the Park Family!! ;p
When MC asked “Jay, why are you so sweet?”
he answered by saying “That’s because i put a lot of sugar on me.” >.<

Jay Park - New Breed, Jakarta
so.. Jay Park New Breed Jakarta begun
Day 1:
he arrived in Soetta Int Airport on May 8, few minutes passed midnight. i was waiting at the airport with two friends, Virdia and Ajeng since 4.30pm.
actually there is no other person at that time, only three of us waiting for Jay at the air port. we brought Jay’s birthday cake. we were planning to give it to Jay right away, but considering there will be many people came we change plan to give it at the hotel.
time passed and it was 10pm when girls from fanbase came so we joint them at the terminal D for Jay arrival. ehm.. join, i meant not really join but we wait together. there were thirteen bodyguards waiting for him. thirteen, for one person. when Jay came out it was so fas. i couldnt see himat first, my mind is hazy and i couldnt move. i forgot to take pix, when i get back to reality he was already in front of my face! one meter, okay i repeat only ONE METER in front of me and i almost faint!
well they said, even he himself said that he’s short, i dont think so. hes tall enough i think, a lil bit taller than me and his body is so well built his. i cana see it all, his firm chest, his skin is so nice, at first he looked a bit uhmm.. tired, he didnt smile, but when the bodyguards led him to the car he realized the Prepix guys was left behind so he stopped and waited for them, talked to them in Korean and then laughed. ah i almost fainted again!
i didnt follow him to the car, because my friend alr run to her car and another one waiting for me to get the cab ready, yeah not to mention we finally catch up eith him at the hotel, keke friends asked where Jay is staying but we wont give out any info cus i dont wanna be bashed and also we dont want t bother Jay’s privacy. we came there not to bother him but to give him his bday ake, we didnt get to see him tho, but we talked to the crew and left the cake to his manager. the crew are all nice and welcome, we talked and they asked if we will attend the fanmeet and the showcase, we said yes. and when they asked again if we came to airport to welcome Jay, we said yes again. ut when they asked if we get the autograph, we said no.
they like ‘why didnt you asked him, he would agreed.” but we refused to do so because we know Jay was tired and we dont want leave bad impression, the main reason is to give him the cake and letter tho, thats why we didnt get off of car right away when we saw Jay at the loby, we took time so Jay can go upstair, we stayed on car for a while.
so after finally succeed giving him the bday cake, we said goodbye to the crew and leave.
Day 2:
fangirling day 2 is the fan signing session, held by Universal Studio Indonesia at Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta, as usual i arrived at the venue early and waited for my friend, Virdia. while waiting i met another JWalker from Surabaya, Nunik, so we waited and queued together. we also met another Jwalkers, Fio and her sis, and some other friends. the time comes for us to meet the boss, i see him coming down the stairs with guards protected him, he was checking the mic and looked like the mic didnt work and Girlfriend is alr played so he waved to the MD to cut the music, but the MD seemed like he didnt get what Jay is saying, so he playfully danced to the music! OMO again! i almost faint! luckily i got a strong heart, if not i prolly just died million time for only two days! he likes to kill my heart! kyaa~~~
haha, so finally the mic works, after the music turned down he greeted the fans saying thank you for coming and for listening to his music, thank you for everything then he started singing Know Your Name.
he danced this and that, his body moved so flawlessly! x___x somebody please save me, i only have one heart, dont ket Jay kill it!! T___T
so after the first song, Know Your Name finished, he walked to the edge and took off his jacket and (again and again) everyone started to screammmmm~~~~. i can feel the ground shakes and EX is almost broke down! lol. ah Jay, stop it okay! stop it!!
he moved here and there while drinking the water, the part i love the most is, Jay’s armpit when he lifted his arm to drank the water. OMO! armpits!!
the second song started, it was Girlfriend, both of my friends who came that day favorited that song, so Nunik started to jump and scream and grab my hand. Virdia stood still, and i kept on smiling to myself, didnt scream nor jumping. i took time to enjoy JAY, this creature, to record the moment to my mind, thats why not a nano second i take my eyes off of Jay.
so the second song ended and everyone screamed for encore, he reasoned why we’re here at the first place and we will be able to see the full show tomorrow. so he went upstair, getting ready for fan signing.
while queuing, we talked this and that and found out a shocking fact, most of Jwalkers are also VIP/YGstan. how cool, i thought there would be so many hottest but i met so many new VIP friends ^^
little did i know its almost my turn to meet Jay, me and Virdia planned to make a little conversation with him during the sign, and we did!
in my case i was able to ask him if he read my letter , he said not yet. stupid! ofcourse ot yet, he’s busy and wouldnt have time to read it now, i shuld have asked hi if he get the letter, not read!
but he was all nice during signing, i let him know my name
“it doube R.” i said and he looked up a bit, was like “double R?”
i said yeah, so he wrote down my name on CD and reached out his hand to shook mine! OMO! he offered his hand first X_X
he said thank you for coming, and i thank him back for coming to Jakarta
i should have greeted him happpy birthday, but all those wordds in my head disappeared once i saw him in front of me.
i can’t help but spazzing, i cant move my feet after that. i just leaned on the wall before i reach down the stairs, security needed to drag me outside, lol, kidding.
yeah, that was day 2. met him, talked to him and shook hands. i went home happily!
Day 3:
after a long waiting days… finally comes the showcase time, it was a pre-recorded show. i was alr busy the whole week, skipped classes and also couldnt sleep 8hours at night. i suddenly turned to a mad busy fangirl for Jay. i forgot to sleep and eat, my days were supper busy!
no need for me to say that i again arrived at the venue earlier, and like always, queuing, meet friends and little spying. sherlocking. keke.
skip skip skip the queue part, i was alr inside the venue and the Prepix guys came down to the stage, getting ready for the opening performance, i must say i really in love with the curl guy named wassap! he’s so swag, somehow he reminds me of Deuk from Hi-Tech (YG Dancer)
Ja came out wearing “Damn I Love Indonesia” sleeveless shirt and his muscle is filling my eyes arrkk““ my eyes @.@
Jay sang ehm 6 or 7 songs; they were
Up and Down
Nothing on You
Abandoned
I Got Your Back
Star
Girlfriend
and last but never the least, Know Your Name
ah so its 7songs.
during Up and Down all went well, he greeted fans again saying “apa kabar?” and “aku cinta kamu”
when he was interviewed by MCs after the first song he thanked the fans again for coming to see his show and for ‘listening to his music!”
this is what i love the most about him, he always says “thank you for listening to my music.” i knew it, he did all this in the name of music, and it only makes me love him more!
when MC asked him what is the most unforgettable moment during the promo, he said ‘this’ is one of them. :)
he also said that he like wants to try Nasi Goreng and had eaten Sate beef, (lolol he said Sate) during his stay in Jakarta. the the MC continue telling him to try Warteg, he confusingly says “warteg? okay okay, i’ll try it.” lmao he thought warteg is somekind of foof. the mc didnt even explain to him what warteg is. but he said “WARTEG” like fluently, warteg :D
during Nothing On You performance there were some technical error with the mic, the sound didnt come out, but Jay calmly continue to sing, he checked the mic once during the short bridge but continue to sing. and he did the shirt lifting tradition near the end of the song drove all the fans mad!! me one of them. the abs part, sobs sobs, i didnt get to record it, i was alr turnd my phone camera off to save battery when he did that! pabo!
but then because of that error he needed to retake the Nothing On You performance, i know that he might repeat the ‘abs action’ but i budge to take out my cmera because i didnt want to miss that part, i think i can save it to my mind memory.
during the in between perfs when the rep of local girl and boy group perform the bboy, Jay was there to watched them from the back, he seated near the the VIP section, and nodded his head repeatedly during the perf, he’s cute and nice. even the fans learn to not bashing the local groups when they performed. ah, proud of what we’re doing :)
oh, during the perf Prepix guys also satyed at the back, watching. i tried to wave at wassap, hoping tha he will see me, but we’re on the opposite side. edge to edge -__- poor me. not long after taht i read the tweet that Mr. Gonzo (Dok2) and the boss Quiett are also seated on VIP section. after some times observing the place finally virdia got to recognize them at the very back seat, its either of them wearing white and grey shirt with caps. at first i think noone realize it was them, after Jay walked down to them and talked for a while w them. everyone again screamed. ah i got my eyes on them the whole time, even when Jay is off of stage, i watched his every move. he was made so many cute move, i find it cute when he took time to talk to the boss and Mr. Gonzo during the break. the bond between their brotherhood is so tight. it always amaze me!
ah so again jay and Prepix getting ready to perform Abandoned, but then the crew informed them that its not their time yet. so he said to the audience “sorry guys, its not me yet” and let out a hard laugh.
ehm, what else, im getting sucks on writing fan account, haha
ah, at the end of the show Jay performed Know Your Name, and he looked so good with white blazer covering his body, he shines on stage,he thanked fans for the last time before he went of. he was all nice and humble. sobs sobs i didnt want to let him off. me and friends decided to get off the very last but then we saw Jay is coming down the stairs, fans started to scream and ran towards him. ahh that was scary!! hahah he could have disappear in a flash in fans made it to catch him. only his bones will left that time. lol
but fnally they manage to get him back inside. i was already ran outsside to catch him, but i didnt make it. plus me and friends alr exhausted and starving so we decided to get some food instead.
during dinner, we planned to find info about Jay’s after/farewell party but looks like they didnt have any, and when i woke up this morning we found out that Jay alr departed to Malay for the next scheds. huhu, so i didnt get to take pix with him, but its okay. i was able to see him only a meter away from me (tho its only for like 10 secs) it was ehmm.. not enough i say. hahha
but yeah, good new that he will hold an encore concert on Sept in Korea! woohoo.. i bet there will be so many guest stars performing like my friend said. shall i catch his next concert??
