We made it, guys! Happy fifth birthday to us!

This is such an insane milestone post to be writing right now. I've been sitting here for about an hour now trying to figure out how to write this post; I can't believe that Diadem has been up and running for five years already! It certainly doesn't feel like it's been that long!

I was just 15 years old when I started working on bringing Diadem to life. I had no expectations that Diadem would become the site and community that it is today. I just wanted to create a place that fans could go to to learn about T-ara and hang out. At five years, it feels crazy that we're still going strong and we continue to improve and become a fansite that keeps working harder to support and love T-ara.

I was just talking to Meg (qridoesntcare) about having to write this post out and she said, “Wow, five years, Elly; that's pretty impressive," and thinking about it based on time, I can agree that it is pretty impressive. Bragging aside, not a lot of sites do well and get to the five year mark, but we did. I can't say that running and keeping Diadem up for this long has been an easy feat. It wasn't always smooth-sailing. There have been many times that I've thought about giving it all up because of all the challenges. I opened Diadem in 2009 while being so young with no skills in anything, no money, and with no one to help me with the tasks involved in running a site. And looking back, I can really say that Diadem's changed so much and come so far.


Diadem's first milestone: Boram's thank you autograph from 2010 Birthday Project

Now, I look at all our accomplishments and I think to myself, “Wow." Mainly because we have achieved so much and have celebrated so many milestones over the years -- some of them, I didn't even dream of attaining as the mere 15-year-old that created Diadem. At the same time, despite all of the shortcomings we've had as a community, despite the things that I've lacked as a leader, we, as Diadem and QUEEN's, were able to stay strong until this day.

Five years is a really long time. I don't believe that any amount of words can truly express how grateful I am to our hardworking staff members and members for all the love and support through the years. If it weren't for your participation in Diadem and your encouraging attitude towards everything we do, I wouldn't be sitting here writing this post for our fifth year together. I'm naturally not great at expressing my thoughts and emotions in any form, but everyone here has been so great and I hope that we can continue this journey for longer. I know that I can look forward to bigger and greater achievements with Diadem and that we can continue to be a site that does everything for the love of T-ara.

On that note, I'd like to let the members of Diadem know that: as always, the staff members of Diadem will always work harder to meet your expectations and work with you hand-in-hand in reaching out to T-ara and their members.

Here are some messages that a few of our Staff Members have for Diadem regarding our 5th Birthday!

Oops, I saved writing my message until last minute.. so it'll be a kind of messy message.. but I am so happy that today is our five year milestone.

I am so proud of Diadem and the members and staff who have made this website possible since the beginning! There are so, so many people who have dedicated so much time to this website and for T-ara. Every thing that Diadem has become is because of the support received from QUEEN'S and people who have volunteered their time and effort.

I have had so many fun memories being part of Diadem's history for the past (almost five) years. I am member 200 or something and when I joined, that was all I was (a member!). I didn't know anyone here and like Elly, I became part of Diadem when I was at a young age. I was only 13!! Back then, we were still called Diadem5, not TiaraDiadem. Despite that, this site has been such a big part of my life and brings me and so much others a lot of happiness and things that we look forward to every day. I always have fun here.

I love being part of such a fun community and fandom and I love Diadem. I love providing information to QUEEN'S and sharing a common interest with so many other people (the interest being loving T-ara). Although I've never seen T-ara live and I don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity, I feel content knowing that I have made so many friends because of T-ara. I'm looking forward to the future for Diadem because I know we have a lot in store for QUEEN'S.

HAPPY FIVE YEARS!!

- Nathaniel, Administator


One thing I feel proud of about Diadem is how we're a community that was there for T-ara even before they debuted. As if standing ready to support them all the way. Though I wasn't here since the beginning, I'm overjoyed and grateful I was able to become a part of the family.

I'm forever thankful for all the memories and wonderful moments I've experienced with our members, my friends from all over the world. We've been through so much on our journey, sticking together and with T-ara through thick and in. I now we will all continue forward, becoming better and stronger.

Thank you to Elly for bringing us all together. Thank you to Nate for putting us forward as the leading English news source for T-ara. Thank you to every single hard working staff member for all the effort they put into making Diadem what it is. I am forever eternally appreciative of our staff.

Last not but certainly not least, thank you to the dearest members of our community, without your consistent support for us, we truly wouldn't have made it thus far.

Happy Birthday Diadem.

Cheers to the 5 great years and counting!

To be constantly updated with news, improvement and outlook for the forum, makes me proud to be a member and a staff here. I joined the forum in early 2011 but started to get active only in mid of 2011. I thought of only getting to know T-ara a little more. Just a little. But because of the forum's activities and members, T-ara has become a part of my life. I'm not sure if I know every detail about the girls, but I have most definitely amplified my understanding and love for them. Of course, they keep growing.

Heaps of discussions can be seen and participated. From the silly and cute things T-ara does to some of the most intense topics, haha! Also through these discussions, getting to know the members and staffs have been both fun and interesting. Different sides and feelings of being a Queen's. I get to look at and understand things in various ways.

Overall, I'm glad to be a member and staff here. A joyous and sometimes, a roller coaster ride. However, a wonderful experience. Thank you, Diadem!

Happy 5th Anniversary!

First of all, HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY TO DIADEM !!!

Being a Diadem member and subsequently a Diadem staff member has been one of the best experiences I've ever had as a T-ara fan. Diadem has basically become an addiction to me. A place where I catch up with T-ara's news and a place where I get to know people from all walks of life with different opinions and personalities. I remember those days when the forum was down for layout changes, I was practically refreshing the webpage everyday hoping that Diadem will finish its upgrades. So I would like to thank everyone here for making Diadem such a great place to stay and I hope that Diadem will continue to be the best channel for Queen's to come together and support T-ara. Please forgive me for slacking as a staff. I will work harder in future. Please look forward it.

– maknae23, Moderator

I am very proud to be parts of this forum and seeing Diadem grow from day to day.
Thanks to Diadem for giving us the latest updates on our girls and also thank you to everyone for the continuous support.

I love you,Diadem.
Happy 5th Anniversary^^

– chriZty, Moderator

Aw, heck it! Can't hold my feels anymore. Sorry, but I'll take back that 6th may promise.

Diadem, oh Diadem...well frankly I don't know much since I've only been here for six months (seems rather uncanny that I was able to join the staff in such short time is it? lol). But I do know this...Diadem is DA BOMB. Seriously, you guys are de best! I can't say how much I love you guys! Really, who wants a free hug? lmao.

Ok, back to business. Hmmmm, I'm pretty new here but it certainly didn't take long until I get used to it. Not sure why, but I just thought it's because this forum feels homey right off the bat. Needless to say, I love T-ara. I friggin love them and stans each of its member since the very first day I heard of them (2013. lol) So yeah, first logical thing to do was to google which community to join, and Diadem came on top, so here I am!

Half a year, and I had so many memories here. Even when T-ara is no more, I think I will always remember my time here (Ok, someone stops me before I'm getting way too sappy). Hmmm, can't think of anything else. Just keep doing what you guys do. We might not be the biggest (and I don't give a bullcrap, pardon the language), or whatever, but I'm sure as hell I'm not the only one who thought of this place as home. We fought for our home, right? So here's to T-ara, to my fellow staff, and to all the members who kept this forum a lively place. I love you guys! There I say it, now cheers!

Happy 5th Anniversary my lovely Diadem!



– heraldc, Moderator

Happy 5TH anniversary Diadem!!
Yeah, already five years and i only saw two of them. In these years diadem grow a lot, and it's members are also closer now.
It was a great time, supporting T-ara, providing news and making new friends. Let's keep working hard!

– Robbe_881, Moderator

Dang, 5 years huh? I only joined back in December '12, and then shortly after became Staff.

And believe me 5 years is definitely a HUGE milestone, I'd definitely say 1, 5, 7 are good milestones for any particular group/community. Speaking from experience myself as my own fansubbing group only just celebrated our 7th Anniversary in April. Although that's all it is, just a fansubbing group, not so much a community for that fandom. Unlike Diadem where it's a home to fellow Queen's to discuss their love for T-ara. This is definitely quite the accomplishment.

I may not be that active via the forums, but I'm still grateful, despite joining the fandom late, that I was given the opportunity to not only help out in the subbing department, but aslo to have made some connections with the staff to participate in some events as well. Won't go into details about those and leave those stories for later purposes if given the opportunity (Member Spotlight / etc.).

So 5 years, and here's to many more to come in the future! I'll do my best to not only provide subtitles when available but to also contribute where I am needed/able to contribute. Not only that, but also to possible hopes of future developements towards CCM/T-ara in getting more recognition, possible fanmeets and dare I say it!? Possibly more visits from not just N4, but T-ara to the states?! Eh eh? It's always a possibility.

Going to wish Diadem a happy 5th birthday/anniversary and shall continue to cherish it as it's definitely provided me with opportunities I'd never get if not for it. As well as introducing me to some spectacular people (You know who you are, if I've met you in person, you're one of them!).

– SacredCultivator, Subber

Happy fifth anniversary to Diadem!

I'm just a normal member and a subber but joining the diadem family is the best! Knowing T-ara even more, get to know more Queen's and even making some awesome friends! Besides being a source for updates about T-ara, it also became a place for people to hang around haha i have only been here for like...13 months i think? its really great being here, people here are warm and stuffs lel. I RUFF YOU DIADEM!

– Jap_Zc, Subber

When I’ve discovered T-ara about two years ago, I was searching for a fansite which could provide actual information on T-ara activities and eventually I’ve found Diadem. It was exactly what I was looking for. Translated T-ara news, T-ara schedule, photos from various events, performances, and even T-ara videos subbed by Diadem very own subbing team. But what I liked the most about Diadem and what makes it so special is the dedication of the people who are working to support T-ara. Many birthday and support projects for T-ara as well as charity projects on behalf of T-ara were successfully implemented with the help of the people of the Community.

Thanks to all the staff members for your hard work and to the people who helped Diadem throughout all these years.

Diadem support for T-ara is invaluable. I’m proud to be a part of the Community.
Happy 5th Anniversary Diadem!

– Cheetah, Subber


5 years already huh? I’ve only been around for probably a year or two. T-ara was the first group who introduced me to kpop, and was the main reason why I discovered Diadem and the awesome people in it and behind it. I met friends and a whole bunch of other dorks and crazy weirdoes who shares the same love for the girls with me. And I owe that to Diadem. Cheers to Diadem for gathering us Queen’s altogether! To the staff, kudos for an awesome job with all the projects, translations and everything else that runs in this site. Let’s go 5 years and onwards guys!

Happy 5th Anniversary!

– Aly, Writer

5 years, man, that's a huge accomplishment!! :D I'm really thankful to Diadem. If wasn't for it -searching, collecting, uploading photos- I probably wouldn't be here today, I wouldn't be so into T-ara, k-pop and photos as I 'm now. You guys got me addicted to this group of girls, and I blame you all for it! I wouldn't also have met many interesting people, even when I'm not that active/talkative here on the forums I lurk a lot though!! All of you guys are amazing, really! :) :) Although I'm not a member from the very beginning, I joined on Sep. of 2012 and became part of the staff on the beginning of 2013, I'm very proud Diadem has reached this far, and, I'm certain, will go way further!!! Happy 5th Anniversary!! – Dognybba, Gallery Uploader 5 YEARS.
I've only been here for a year.

So, Diadem is already 5 years old huh. I joined Diadem in mid 2013, but I was a fan in 2011. How did I become a fan? Well, I watched Bo Peep Bo Peep MV at the age of 9. YES. Sexy version. Deal with it. 9 year olds can enjoy sexiness too.

I became an Uploader in February 2014, and I'm still a newb. Diadem has got me many friends, and they are really nice too, except for a few who... Yeah, we bully each other. I have a few people here who I look up to. Their names shall be a secret.

People in school think that I'm weird for loving Kpop, especially loving T-ara, who they call "the nobodies". So Diadem is basically a place for me to share my thoughts, especially at the Shoutbox.

Diadem always provides the latest updates (and gossips).

And now, Diadem is already 5. Happy 5th Anniversary Diadem!

I love you Diadem!

I will work a lot harder next time, less slacking, promise. – Zelo, Uploader I feel so proud to be a member of this incredible community. A lot of groups never get to see five years, and even more groups aren't lucky enough to have such devoted fans for five years either. Through good times, and bad, Diadem hasn't faltered. Knowing directly how much effort is being put into each and every project, post, stream, translation, FREAKING VIDEO GAME is mind blowing. I'm so impressed. I've been impressed since day 1 and every day it keeps getting better. Have a glorious anniversary Diadem, you've earned it. . – qridoesntcare, Global Moderator
Happy 5th Anniversary Diadem!

Its been a long journey that's had its share of happy and sad moments. I'm proud how far we've come and how as a community, we've weathered everything that's come at us up until now. I've met so many great people since I became part of the Diadem family. Its been an honor working for Diadem and seeing all of our ideas come to fruition. I never thought I'd be so actively involved with a KPOP fandom until I joined Diadem. I think the biggest thing that keeps me coming back to Diadem is the community. I can safely say that if not for every member, every forum post, every tweet, Diadem wouldn't be where it is today. I hope we'll continue to support the girls for many more years to come and look forward to seeing Diadem continue to grow with each passing year.



PS: Thanks for giving me a reason to go to Korea!

- bankudonku, Project Manager
One year ago I wouldn't even dream that I was going to get into Kpop, let alone be a stan for a group that had the ups and downs that T-ara had. But now, looking back I can safely say that I have no regrets about finding this part of the music industry, with the thing keeping everything in place being Diadem. I found this community through dumb luck one year ago and not a day has passed where I haven't checked it more than once. A place where people can discuss, comment or just spazz over something they all like is a very good place to be a part of. Subbers sub, administrators administer, uploaders upload and the 5 year old community keeps trucking forward, through good and bad times. Having become a part of the staff team just a mere two months ago, I wish I had found this place sooner, but I think I speak for all when I say that, as long as T-ara are out there being awesome, we're not going anywhere.

- Joao Cruz, Uploader


I’ve been with Diadem since Feb 2010… that seems so long. It wasn’t long before I was made a subber, and encoding videos on a regular basis. Thanks Nate and Elly for giving me such a great opportunity to work and improve my skills and give back to a wondrous K-pop community… gosh 3 subbing logo changes! I’m all over the place in fandoms, varies stages of duress in my career and life and I haven’t been as active around Diadem as I used to be in the past, I hope I have done well enough for the members and fans. I worked with some great subbers in the past and present. Thanks to Nate for always being behind me, and Elly for accepting that romantic dinner date with me, I just know it will be great. Zee, who is pretty fetch as well. There has been up and downs with T-ara, K-pop, and even Diadem but still going strong. Way to go guys. Five years… That’s quite an achievement and of course I think it’s only fair to thank the members and fans for keeping it going this long. Their donations, love and support for Diadem and T-ara are what make it possible. Thanks people. You are so fetch. Happy 5th Anniversary Diadem. - Jimmy, Subbing Coordinator It's amazing how long Diadem as a community has persisted alongside T-ara. I remember when I first joined Diadem around April 2010 and so much has happened since then. Most of all, I'm thankful of all the friendships I've made with some of the staff and members (except Zee). I'm glad we have so many people who care enough to keep this community lively and welcoming and hope we make a lot more memories together. Happy 5th Diadem. - Mark, Administrator

***

We're very happy to finally come to this day, however this is just a very small beginning. Due to our rather tiny team (2 people only) and limited resources, this is only a mini-game featuring limited playable characters. We have many great ideas already for our future games though and as well hope to take on more team members. To motivate and prepare us for our next project, please do provide as much feedback as you can. The results of this 'test phase' so to say will help us determine whether we will continue with this project series or not (we very much would love to though!)

News, and applications to join the team, regarding the next game will go up after a short time.

For now, enjoy the game everyone! Please report any bugs/errors you may encounter. We will amend them and update the game. In regards to adding the other members as playable characters, though we'd love to, we cannot guarantee it as right now it would be more efficient for us to allocate our time to the next project (one that involve all the members as playable characters) instead.

Hi QUEEN'S! I hope you are enjoying T-ara's first comeback in Korea in over a year and with their old line-up. It's an exciting time not only for QUEEN'S, but for Diadem members too (I hope you are liking the first days of DiademTV and T-error Adventures if you've tried it!) We have a lot of stuff we want to introduce to our members to bring our fandom closer and make supporting T-ara even more fun than it already is.
Are you following Diadem on Instagram yet?
If you aren't I won't say anything mean this time because you aren't missing out on that much yet.. but you will soon be missing out on a lot! We are going to be working hard on transforming our Instagram into a place for uniting QUEEN'S to meet other QUEEN'S and become inspired.

Do you want to be featured on Diadem's Instagram?
Do you have a special talent in art - drawing or Photoshop, GIFs? Do you have an amazing T-ara collection? Are you able to perform T-ara's songs - dancing, singing, or maybe on piano? Or maybe you can remix them? Or maybe you don't have any of these, but you have to have a favorite T-ara picture or video at the very least!
Now is the best time to share your talents, your collections, or your taste in T-ara's pictures! Every week, we are going to feature one person's picture/video that they share on Instagram on our own Diadem account. It could be anything listed above, but it doesn't have to be just one of those. You can also post as many pictures as you want on your Instagram, but there's two conditions you have to follow if you want to be featured.
How do I get featured on Diadem's page?

There are only two very simple conditions you have to follow to be featured! Number one is you must be following @diademforums on Instagram. Number two is you must use the #HASHTAG that we vote on! Number nine is.. JK!
Condition number two is unclear right now, but I can tell you that you must tag your posts on Instagram with a specific #hashtag so that Diadem's staff can see your post. We will announce the hashtag once we decide on one.. but we haven't decided on a hashtag yet! We wanted to choose a really good and creative one, so we want QUEEN'S to leave your suggestion in the comment for the best hashtag to use for tagging T-ara pictures.
You can post your suggestion for the hashtag in the comments, and on October 18th, we will open a vote to vote for the best hashtag to use.
Do you want to meet other QUEEN'S?

Yeah, I'm sure you met a lot of QUEEN's through Diadem already or through Twitter, but what about QUEEN'S who share the same bias as you? Or interests as you besides just loving T-ara? Or who are from the same country as you? OMG again now you have a chance!
Being the #1 international source for T-ara and QUEEN'S, we want to unite and connect QUEEN'S across the world together and we hope this will help us make a step to accomplish that.
Every Wednesday on our Instagram, we are going to post a simple question that you can reply to that will hopefully help you find other QUEEN'S you have stuff in common with. Just a quick example, we could ask "Who is your bias?" and then you could find other Jiyeon-biases or Qri-biases.
Are there restrictions for pictures/videos in order to be featured on Diadem's page?

Nope, not really any restrictions at all. Just make sure your pictures are appropriate. You can post a picture/video of one member, or two, or all. You can post basically anything T-ara related and you can have a chance to be featured.
You might wonder how we will re-post an Instagram video on our page, but don't worry about that We have our ways...
Suggestions for our Instagram

We want to update our Instagram just as much as our website and our Twitter and our Facebook.. but Instagram is different from those websites! Our Instagram is still Diadem, but we want to post different things besides just updates and news on it. So we want your suggestions on what we should post on it!
We are trying to do Throwback Thursdays (Thursdays) and featuring a QUEEN's post once a week (day undecided) and a question game for QUEEN's to meet other QUEEN's (Wednesdays)... but what else can we do? As well as your suggestion for the #hashtag, please leave your suggestion for what Diadem should post on our Instagram!
I hope you're as excited for this as I am because I know it'll be a lot of fun! Please leave comments if you have any questions. Actually, please just comment a lot on this topic. And you better leave some suggestions like I mentioned earlier

[13.10.15] "This is not our comeback. This is our re-debut with our six original members."


The past year was an eventful year for T-ara. Frequent activities, events, and more, but also all kinds of rumors and malicious comments that are countless. After promoting nonstop for four years, it seems like everything they had worked for was lost over the past year. They had a lot of opportunities in their career, but instead they just watched what they had already end.

On the 14th, T-ara met in a cafe in Gangnam to discuss this as well as their new comeback album released on the 10th. Despite all of this, T-ara were still smiling and satisfied with the result of their promotions so far.

"The response to our new album was better than we expected. We worried and talked about how the public would view us every day. It made us anxious, but we were all united to become better (as a group.)"

Despite various times they felt bitter about their controversy, all members admitted they have matured. Instead of promoting with the goal of #1 in mind, T-ara promoted with the thought of rewarding the fans who still believed in them. "We did in a way lose our original intentions. We weren't proud when this event had occurred. It made us realize how important our parents, family, friends and staff members are; and above all, it made us realize how important our members are.

T-ara will soon be into their fifth year of promotions since their debut. The members of T-ara have gone through many toxic changes. T-ara answered why they frequently changed their group. "Honestly, it's true of most idol groups. Our agency is full of staff who are experts and know what to do. The process (of changing members) helped us show better sides of us."

T-ara has gone back to year one. Their goal is simple. T-ara want to be loved every moment they can and do their best without regrets. They want to go back as soon as possible to the place they used to hold in their fan's hearts. "We think about how the past year was really difficult, but we were able to learn. It was a necessary time for T-ara."

Going to the broadcast station, meeting fans, and reading online articles.. they will keep this thought in mind. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. "We will never lose the thoughts of beginners. We returned with our original six members with our hearts set as rookies. It's not a comeback. We feel like it's out debut again. T-ara will continue to work re~aally hard in the future."

The very first T-error Adventure game is in fact coming real soon. It is a point-and-click adventure game called Cake Day and guess what? Donors get first dibs on the beta!






This first game is just the very small beginning for what we have planned. As stated, we will be developing more games of different genres, ranging from a fighter game, platformer, FPS or even cute mobile games!

Just stick with Diadem to get all the latest updates and info!


"T-error Adventures"?

For those confused about the title, T-error is an affectionate fan nickname given to T-ara to describe their cute or humorous moments. Our games will be of comical nature, putting the girls through various scenarios and escapades and thus why we chose T-error Adventures! (For those concerned it is a negative term, please read.)


How can we support this new project?

In the future, to bring you guys the best, we may require the support of our community. For now though, as usual, the best way you can support Diadem is by donating to our various projects for T-ara.


What language is the game in?

The games will be in English and Korean! We as well plan to release the games in other languages like Japanese and Chinese. Depending upon the reception, we may expand further!


What are the system requirement for the games?

All system requirements will be detailed in each game's respective download thread.


Is T-ara or CCM involved in this?

T-error Adventures is not an official game and has no affiliation with CCM or T-ara. It is a game series by the fans for the fans.

We're aiming to release our very first game soon! In the mean time, share your thoughts and ideas on what kind of games you would like to play!

Now guys you've seen my guides on how to go to CCM

And how to go to Eunjung's Mum cafe

Now it's time for Music Shows,
I will describe about each one.
But before i do, you must know about the prerequisites.
You will need 5 items before getting in line as top priority.
First up is T-ara Membership card from their T-ara Cafe Daum.
Next up is their promoting album.
Third is an MP3 download receipt.
Fourth is the Ringtone.
Fifth is the Caller Ringtone.
For Foreign fans, the last two are irrelevant as they understand that you don't need a phone in Korea since you're staying temporarily.
However, the first three are a must for you to get top priority.
Signing up for the membership is easy as describe in another topic but you have to pay 10kwon iirc to be the first Queens and im not sure whether the sign up is already over.
As for the album you can get it easily through another music stores in S.korea so that's not a problem either.
Third is the MP3 download receipt. You must have this because from personal experience, they nearly didnt let me stand near front because i didn't have this. They are very anal about this.
You can get this MP3 download receipt from Daum/Soribada/Melon/Naver.
Purchase the promoting song and print out the receipt.
This will be very difficult for a foreigner as we don't have a Korean ID to sign up for the site.
I got my Hostel manager to buy the song for me, but he didn't manage to print it out.
When i was waiting in queue at SBS inkigayo, they told me to print it out, else i wouldn't get to stand in line. So i had to run to a PC bunk to get it print out. So troublesome :/
There's another thing you need to note.
This is about Pre-recorded performances and Live performances.
I will explain the difference.
Some performances are pre-recorded then PDs will broadcast it during the liveshows(To make it look like it's live).
The celebrities will continue to perform while the pre-recorded are broadcasted. Then the PD will signal to them to indicate it's time for the next performer to be prepared to be on the stage.
So sometimes, the performers will just leave nearing the end of the song.
The next performers, most probably Live, and the crew will then have ample time to prepare for the Live performance and the stage settings.
That's why we have live and pre-recorded performances and that's why you get to see the drastic change in stage settings after each performances.
And the thing about pre-recorded performances is that they will do it a couple of times to get it right.
Thus some fans are lucky that they get to see the girls perform 8/9 times.
Whereas i only had the chance to see them perform twice on the same day...
Ok moving along!
First up we have KBS Music Bank (Personal Favourite!!!)

KBS MUSIC BANK!


Ok, so first up.
If you're taking a cab,
Here's the exact location. Just show it to the cabby and he will get you there.
KBS Music Bank 뮤직뱅크
서울특별시 영등포구 여의도동 18
Seoul, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Yeouido-dong 18
Alternatively,
You can take the train and reach National Assembly Station Line 9.
From there, you can take Exit 6 or Exit 4.
The image below indicate on how to go to Music Bank.

Black arrow refer to Exit 6.
Green arrow refer to Exit 4.
It's preferred if you take Exit 4 first.
From Exit 4, you will be able to pass by GS-25 (A mini mart) and Holly's Coffee where you can get some food for yourself.
Check out the row of trees/lamp posts outside the entrance of KBS for queue lists for fans.
Try to walk yourself in to the building/follow other fans.
You will find yourself here!

Take a chair and relax while waiting for the show to start.
Or you can wait outside Exit 6. as Exit 6 is the one that the celebrities will come through.
Reason why i say KBS Music Bank is my favourite is because it's the only music show we can communicate with the girls.
Managers will park their vans outside while celebrities will walk in.
Thus i have the chance to do this

My opinion on the schedule is like this.
They will come around 9am to get the schedules right and etc. so this is your first chance.
Then they will leave the building for lunch so this is your second chance.
When they come back for the pre-recorded performance, this is your last chance. I will explain why later.
Remember about the prerequisites i said early?
Now after you see them for the last time, you will have to go queue because there's when the fanstaff/leader will come out and help us arrange the queue and etc.
The staffs of the music show will only speak with the fanstaff/leader. With this, you need to prepare ur items to show that you're worthy to be at top priority.
If i'm not wrong, admins of the various fansites like jingdot will take turns doing this. so yupps. do watch out for them as they will help you out in a long way.
After that you are all set and ready to go for the pre-recorded performance.
The staffs will tell the fanstaff to get ready and bring us into the waiting area of the building.
Then we will go in according to the queue no. and the priority and take the seats.
Once inside, the girls will come out and we can start cheering for them
Cheer loud for T-ara please )))
Then after the pre-recorded performances ended, we will head out so the next performer and their fans can come in.
So we can wait outside the Music Bank to see if there are any spare tickets to get to see the Live Show. But the chances are really really low. So yupps
Now after Music Bank is over. They will leave via the same entrance. But this time round the vans will be able to enter. So the guards will not allow any fans to enter. Chances of seeing the idols are relatively low as compared to the first three chances but you can still try.
And that's all there is to Music Bank
I will update on Music Core and Inkigayo later on whenever i'm free.
