Fanmeeting Report 1
On February 25th, we were finally able to organize the fanmeeting day.
John-Hoon got up earlier than usual to do some exercises like running (because before singing a warm up exercise is necessary), then arrived early at the meeting place. Firstly, he ate his favourite Gyudon (rice covered with beef and vegetables), then went through the stage directions, lighting, sound tests and rehearsals.
During the rehearsal, he sung his new songs. In particular “Yamanaiame (Endless Rain)” and “Imperfect” since it would be the first time singing those in front of everyone, he was extremely nervous and worried, so he practiced those many times.
After an hour of nonstop singing, everything was checked. He worked extremely hard at the rehearsal!
Fanmeeting Report 2
At 6pm, the fanmeeting was finally ready to begin. The MC continued to introduce John-Hoon.
“February 28th is the sales release of Sad Song, please listen to it” John-Hoon greeted the audience in Japanese and sang his new song “Sad Song”.
After the song, a bouquet was presented and the breaking of a ceremonial sake barrel where he toasted with his favourite sake for the first time.
Next, a screen was lowered and a presentation was played as a present which was planned by fans.
Challenge 1. Legend of a desirable man
“Since childhood, he is cool, famous has a considerable number of fans etc.
Was it sincerity from the olden days that was thought to be enticing? During your days as a student, state the most memorable impression of a confession!”
“I’m not sure what is meant by desirable but, as for the impressive confession, a female student I didnt know, she handed me a letter on the bus. But after handing me the letter, she nervously fled from the bus dropping her lunch box and other things from her bag at my foot and all the way to the roadside.” JH said, causing the room to fill with laughter. Special training items and combination of healing goods was then rewarded to him. Now John-Hoon can train happily.
Challenge 2. Your type are older women?! “In the past, you revealed you like the older type. John-Hoon, presently you are taking applications for a girlfriend, more information is required, so tell us more about what type do you like!”
“My ideal type are you guys!”JH shouted.
“Before it was this type or that type but now, I like people who like who they are (confident) Even though I’ve been invited to other singers concerts and fanmeetings they say “John-Hoon’s fans are the PRETTIEST!” So I guess I’d have to say you guys are my ideal type!”
Then, John-Hoon received a reward of special original sake from the Tochigi prefecture which was especially ordered. That night when he when drank the sake, the great flavour impressed him.
Challenge 3. Ultimate Selection
“John-Hoon on Japan’s current obsessions - draft beer, miso ramen, and Yuna Ito’s song. Your next job offer involves those mentioned, which would you take? Please state your reason.
A. Draft beer commercial (but in one hour you have to drink 30 cups of beer)
B. Miso ramen reporter (but in 1 hour you have to eat 30 cups)
C. Duet with Yuna Ito (but you have to dance intensly)
“A, because I have drunk 30 cups in 1 hour before” revealed John-Hoon, the drinker.
“Its not because I dislike dancing, its because dancing dislikes me” he explained as the reason he for his poor dancing. This time his present was a rodeo boy, to future support John-Hoon’s hobby of horse riding.
