Here's the gang, Minus 3 (A tall guy Peter, and two girls from China?) but all in all, that's pretty much all the fans that showed up... not 300 =P

(Mark edit: There were about 30-40 fans)

Okay this is both my sister and my experience. If not specifically stated, it's my sister's experience. Okay here we go.

Hey~

So, I am not a member of Diadem, however, I was fortunate enough to have an awesome brother, SacredCultivator, who told me about it and decided to take me along with him (Thanks bro!). I heard Diadem was bringing them gifts, so I didnt want to come with nothing prepared for them so, I got them super cute stuffed animals (aww, yeah!). We waited there for 2 hours or so, and no one came! So sad. My arms were aching from carrying the stuffed animals; my knees and back were sore as well. I was thinking, oh noes. I shouldve stayed home and studied since I have finals coming up!

However, it was a good thing we waited coming from the outside entrance came DANI! =) with a whole bunch of bodyguards lol. Everyone from Diadem started snapping pictures of her and everything. Me, being without a camera or a good fancy phone, stood behind in awe at how cute she is. I wasnt really a fan of her before, since she hasnt debuted yet. Found out she was like 14(?). My gosh, such a cute baby! =) I asked her if it was possible to take a picture with her, or was it not allowed? And she was like yeah sorry, I dont think so :) I just got turned down by Dani!!! But, she was nice about it and looked like she felt bad, so I was fine with it. But then a few minutes later, her bodyguard came up to me and said alright, you can take a picture with her =) YAYUH! *WIN* So, I got a pic with her, and so did everyone else who wanted to :) The staff and Dani were so nice! I dont own anything T-ara related (I know, I am horrible! Need to start collecting!), so I was looking around Dani, can you sign my bag? and she said wow, thats something awkward to sign! and I was like yes, but you like it still, no? and she was like yes! but she spelled my name wrong twice. Lol sadness, but its okay! She liked my hello kitty bag and she signed it for me, so I am happy!

Afterwards waited for another hour or so and the girls finally came out! They were wearing like the N4 outfits. I was kind of hoping for airport fashion (large sweaters and sweats and sunglasses or something), but its okay, they were all super pretty !

I think I saw Jiyeon first! She was walking super fast though lol. Like she was hungry and just wanted to eat! So, I was waving to her and stuff, but no eye contact or nothing!

(SC: I wanted to hand Jiyeon her stuffed animal (Elephant) and the Diadem goody-bag, but she completely ignored me and I just couldn't get her to notice me so I was like I'll try again later.)

Areum was pretty cool though. I was like HI AREUM! And she smiled and waved back ! I think she was eyeing my stuffed animals (but, my brother had her stuffed animals! Sorry Areum!)

(SC: I was like hm not too many people crowding Areum, so I approached here and was like, "This is for you~", and she replied (Excuse me, I don't know Korean/ how to type it out) "Aww~ {emphasis on that ~} it's so cute".) (Lame joke: We gave her a white tiger cause she's.... wait for it... pale white.) Then after I gave it to her, tried running/shouting out to Jiyeon again to give her the gifts but she just kept on walking and ignored. To wear I ended up just having to give the gifts to one of the bodyguards. I was like "Damn, Jiyeon is so bada**. Ignoring me. That's... bada**." She stays at same ranking for me because of it.

So, I gave a stuffed leopard to Eunjung when she got near and she accepted it and said thank you :)

But my favorite member is Hyomin, so I was like eh? Wheres Hyomin?! And then I look to the back HYOMIN!!! Coming in fashionably later than the rest :) lol. She saw me and I gave it to her and made eye contact and said thanks with a smile yay! But she was rushed out by the rest of the staff! I saw other people getting signatures from her outside So, I tried to get one on my bag again! She was looking at my bag too and my pen, but the staff totally shooed her into the van :( Boooo but I saw that she felt sorry, so I am not that butt hurt about it. The van drove away after and we just waved bye!

PS:

Soyeon: We and I think Meg / Mark / Wil? can agree to this. We actually saw Soyeon coming out by herself. I should have snapped a picture because if you saw it, I'm sure you'd all agree that this girl definitely looked like her, same fashion sense.

Overall, I thought this was an awesome experience! This was my first time going out and like meeting a famous group/person in person. I have only met Danielle Fish (Topanga from Boy Meets World) at my school since she is also a student there. So, to actually meet T-ara, my favorite Kpop band, was amazing! I was shaking after I met all of them and my bro and I talked to each other the whole ride back home about it! Was it worth the hours of waiting and aching muscles?

Absolutely! I got to converse with, get a pic with, and signature from Dani (who has just skyrocketed onto my list), got give away stuffed animals to my favorite member Hyomin who (I want to believe) wanted to sign my awesome hello kitty bag as well, and I got to meet a great group of people who share the same interest in T-ara as I do!

SC:

My overall opinion, it was a great experience to meet some fellow Diadem Staffers / but Diadem members as well and we all got along/connected really well. Not any weird awkwardness or like "Stay away from me" feeling. Just an instant connection. And despite the girls having arrived ON TIME they had a huge delay due to customs, so assumption is Hyomin's name, but jokingly, someone snuck food (It's funnier that way... looks at Areum). But all that wait plus the $17 parking and soar back from waiting/standing, all well worth it.

PPS:

I don't know who the guy in Blue was but Fan Manager? he did notice our small group and I guess he did feel bad for having us wait so long that he did mention that he wanted the girls to possibly do something for us, like a group picture. Sadly, due to circumstances/delay they were rushed, and we weren't fortunate enough for that picture =(

TLDR: IT WAS AWESOME~!!!!

Pictures:

Not many but ehh a few can be found on my Facebook

Videos:

Here's footage of Mark using his famous line of... "You want to?" when it comes to giving Diadem a shoutout.

This is Mark apologizing that we didn't have gifts specifically for her.

Asking if Dani got Diadem's gifts:

Uhh they finally arrive... WARNING!!! Extreme shakiness + moments of... wtf footage {the floor}

For pictures, I barely took any to be honest, only of Dani, and they are on my Facebook. I'm actually waiting on another member to send me the pictures he took as he took quite a handful to add to my collection.

Video... I'm looking at them at the moment to see what's useable/presentable before uploading.

Okay just looked at my videos... Uhh I'll upload as is without editing since, it'd take forever and I don't have much experience.. so I will warn you right now...

Some of the footage (especially when the girls come out) is super shaky and there's a moment at the start where footage just drops since I'm handing Areum her gift. So.. if you say the fancam sucks... not offended as I warned already.

Thanks for sharing! I wanna meet you when they go back to Korea and other diadem members and staffs too if you're going again. I can't come awhile ago so if they go back on the 17th, hope to meet you :)

i actually got curious about something all of a sudden..does diadem have any special privileges of meeting the girls when they are in a certain country or something ? like example if t-ara comes to my country singapore will ppl in diadem who are from singapore organise a trip like dat to the airport tgt to welcome the girls ? or is it only a special grp of ppl in diadem can do this like admin and staff ?

@fusion217: Hmm special privilege, from what I experienced in this, I want to say no? Like I think most we'll get is just confirmation of whether the girls will be at a given place (airport) but as to anything special compared to just Fans, no. We're treated the same.

I mean for this experience one of the Managers? Unno if he was one, knew of our little group and felt bad that we waited so long for the girls that he did mention, "We should have the girls do something for the fans, like a group photo" but due to circumstances they were rushed and we never got that opportunity.

I'll edit my summary a bit to reflect that.

@jap_zhen_chin: That's exactly what my sister said too. It's just funny seeing a big guy carrying stuffed animals, but yaya that he did.

Hmm I can't answer that specifically, Diadem Staffers would have to since I'm only a subber... unno if that counts as a Staffer.

Anyway, this trip was semi-planned? I mean there was a thread announcing this located here.

I only went with my lil sister. And rest were just there, although I mean I had a general sense of which Diadem'ers would be showing up.

So it's definitely up to the higher-up staffers to sort/organize these sort of events.

Lol SC you lied man, the fancams were pretty good! Whatchu talking about mang?? Lol Anyways thanks for sharing~

Well lol, I realized they focus more on Mark than anything else =P

And my pleasure, I only wish the quality turned out better.

oh ok thanks ... :D

so u knew the ppl there were from diadem once u were there ?

Ehh honestly when sister and I first got there, we were looking for signs of any sort. Didn't see any. Luckily Mark flagged us down. Since at that time it was only him that was there. Then shortly after a few more staff came then fans. But we didn't recognize Mark to begin with so we woulda been super lost if he didn't signal for us. I guess our stuffed animals was the key point =P

haha cool... it would be so awesome if ppl from diadem from the same country would know each other and become friends, that way more things like this can be carried out in different countries :)
