This is probably only for GTR's benefit (so we can laugh at their silly costumes and Nickhun's hedgehog hair.)
2pm @ COEX mall on the 19th: (2pm is the 'dance' half of 'One Day' - the ballad half is called 2am. They're owned and managed by JYP who is orange and creepy as heck.)
Quick Report: (written on the day.) I literally just got back from a fan signing held by the members of 2pm at COEX mall in Samsung-dong (Seoul.) It was one of the worst organized events I've ever been to (the courtyard was way too small, the lines were crazy and the lighting sucked.)
I got a good seat luckily with some nice (yet noisy) fangirls - I was the only foreigner amongst about 300 girls and after taking a tonne of photos I ran round to the side exit to attempt some foreign-blaggage. Sadly the staff were nice, but said no go without a ticket (understandable I guess.) However, as the members left the stage they came down the stairs in my direction - Chansung was in the lead (ironically he was my least favourite member until today.) and *just* before security began holding people back I managed to tap his arm and give him a huge bag (filled with junk food.) and a note (from all the 2pm foreign fans wishing them well etc.) He gave me a lovely smile and nodded before the rest of the band passed by and then they were gone.
The moral of the fan signing is; Korean 2pm staff pointing laser pointers at me (and my expensive DSLR camera with ridiculous lens.) plus about a hundred fangirls all taking photos using their digicams/phones cannot hope to stop us. I just pretended not to know WTF was going on....as usual.
Damn I love photographing musicians - I wish it had been a performance, but this was fun too.
Whoever rated my blog a 1 - thanks a lot. Seriously, wtf is the point in that? If you're going to be rude then don't rate at all. Doing this takes time and effort and seeing someone insulting me with a bad rating makes me less inclined to help out in the esports area in the future.
@Solinren - nope, no ticket sadly. The fangirls were screaming so loudly each time one of the group hugged a girl - one of them next to me kept yelling 'Stop! Stop!' she was so funny and crazy.
I like 2am (but mainly because Jokwon is so entertaining.)
Ah!!! 2 pm <3 Thank you for the pictures! Nice to see singers.. especially 2pm hehehe. I honestly don't know them very well - I think your pictures are the first time I'm getting a decent look at their faces. They're pretty built for korean pretty boys...

I'm not a massive fan, but they're something a bit different in the current climate of super girly groups/young ones like SHINee. They are really built - even Nickhun who is the thinnest looks like he could kick some ass (despite his silly hairstyle.) I loved their weird blue clothing at the event too.

lol it wasn't me but you definitely cannot take criticism!? would a better question be why it was rated a 1?

I just don't see the point of rating someone's blog as a one. I can answer that question too - it was probably because it's photos of guys and not female musicians like I usually post.

That's Big Bang in the Lollipop commercial - same kind of genre, but a really different style of band. 2pm and 2am are pretty new in comparison and are just now making it really big here. They just won their first televised music prizes in the last couple of weeks.
