161228 Katana Yongin

we decided to have the shoot at yongin, in the middle of the night since there probably wouldn't be a lot of people. and i wanted to do it before the really horrible cold winter came. to be honest, it wasn't really a good choice anyway (since up till now i still haven't gotten my final edited photos).

it was almost a hit and run thing and there were crazy people passing by. like cars (it's a market street, cars are not supposed to come in!). but since there's no one, we decided to park our van there anyway. and crazy teenagers walking around. the weather was cold, why don't they just go home!!!

i had to like cower in the car, then wait for the guys to finish setting up, run out and pose for a good 5 mins before running back to the car to de-freeze. it was a good thing we parked the van nearby. the weather was already winter, who was i kidding!!! it was below 0degrees. i must have been nuts.

we shot at 3 different places before i totally became olaf.

we started the shoot around 11plus and it ended up around 4am. snow came FIERCELY right when we ended. woah.

after that we went for a supper-breakfast, and i just couldn't stop shaking. katana doesn't even need snow, why did i shoot it in winter. i guess that's why she's in SUICIDE squad.

BAD DECISION, girl. BAD DECISION.

161218 Sombra Shoot

and.. we're traveling 2hrs to another part of the city to shoot sombraaaaaaa...

stopped halfway for lunch and they have food that is served chup-chye styled, but with korean cuisine. wheeee! all the side dishes are served individually. but it's not cheap.. all the dishes amounted to like almost 30k. but at least it's for 3 person!

and another hour later, we reached the shoot place, after picking up giro and pion.

it was still bright so we had to wait a little before the shoot start.

and as it turns slightly darker, the lights came on.

and here's how it turns to at night!

place looks so pretty at night! but it's so freaking cold!!

after the shoot ended we headed to RZ studio for indoor shoot. and then it was dinner around 11~!

this is one of the nicest army stew i've had and it stays open 24/7~ unfortunately i can't remember the name or where it is... oops.

by the way, pion has already finished processing all the photos so check out her post here!

161214 Zhao Ru Shoot

we're actually collaborating with a popstar for this project!

attended the shoot to help the lady called Zhao Ru, who is from china, and in a kpop group. it's supposed to be pretty famous, or as JH says, she's more famous than jun ki. i'm not sure how true it is since the people in our team don't know her at all. but anyway, she is pretty cute and lovely in real life~

there was some miscommunication and the shoot was crazy. i'm sure at least 20-30 people turned up at the small studio, and she brought her whole make up team, so the helpers on our side were all redundant at the end. i guess it was good that her team was helping her, since it would reduce more conflict if we were to do anything wrong.

anyway some captures!

the shoot ended off at 11+, and we went for lotteria for dinner afterwards. there's actually a breakfast muffin there, haha.

161008 Seonyudo Photoshoot

So… the team was rushing for the photoshoot at 5pm, but we only got out at 4pm and the road had massive traffic problems so we reached eventually past 6pm. Jeonghoon traveled separately to pick Pion but it seems that was a big mistake as well, since they eventually arrived around 7pm. also, there was apparently a huge fireworks festival happening near our shoot area, which added to the jam… we eventually started a little past 8pm and ended close to 10pm. It was so cold (I swear it’s winter weather already) and both Pion and I were on our Magic Date, so it added to the misery…! Still, kudos to Pion who hung in there and completed the whole shoot!

We went for fried chicken at Hongdae, then drinks at a convenience store, where we found 4 bottles of Minions corn milk. Whee! Finally, the Singapore job is over! Almost anyway.

161003 Hanbok w Jooa

brace yourself for lots of pictures for today's post!
i was rotting around at home and waiting for 00's call but he didn't come over till 2+. jooa called and asked if i wanted to get out to gyeongbukgong so i just said yes and zoomed out! it was such a sudden change in plan. we met up and went to one of the dressing studio to pick our hanbok. jooa brought make up so i was able to touch up myself.

it was a pity we couldn't enter gyeongbukgong because it was closed till 7. as i had dinner plan, we could only wear our hanbok for about 3hrs. you can actually get in free if you wear a hanbok to enter! the cost of rental was about 20k (depending on the type of hanbok you choose), and additional 5k for shoes, and 5k for inner skirt. luckily, we can still hang around the main entrance.

and time for some mini shoot! i chose a blue-purple combination as the pastel feels were adorable.

and we shot a lot of stuff near the entrance.

love my hair! always wanted to do that ribbon braid thingy.

more selfies!

there's so many people in hanbok here! here's 1 big group.

we found an appropriate backdrop here too.

love this 2 selfies~

took some at the very big entrance as well. 

and the last one taken with the blooms on the roadside

my dinner was canceled so i had dinner with jooa instead at a food street nearby. had dalkgalbi!

we hung around at a coffee shop after that before i went home. it was nice to talk to jooa, as always because we can talk about anything under the sun! and she's open and straightforward. she's like my xm in korea. hehe. hope to see her again soon!

161002 Gangnam Studio

in the morning, i wanted to have porridge but the shop at the terminal wasn't opened. we walked to the bonjuk end and decided to have sundae instead.

the sundae turned out better than what i expected. yummy! it's kinda like a cross between bahkutteh and milt instestines without poopy taste. i enjoyed it surprisingly.

after that i went over to help with the monster guild photoshoot for pion and shuma today. it was a studio at gangnam and the interiors were quite pretty~ there were 5 themes and we used 3 of them.

ark even got a cake for both me and shuma as it was our birthdays yesterday. how thoughtful~

at the last setting, i couldn't help but take a pic of how poor ark was being used as a 'stepping stone'

and here's shuma and pion~ nope they decided to use a chair for shuma later on. lol.

then to reward ourselves for the shoot when it ended around 830pm, we had korean buffet!!

it was the crab season so there was freeflow crab stew and mini fried crabs. whoaaa.

and look at the dessert bowl giro made... wow.

ate so much!!
