Bomisaur's Fanaccount of Apink's Press Conference in Hong Kong
Feb 18th 2017
I will write a proper fanaccount being the Hong Kong Panda that went to the press conference in this thread.
Part 1 (12:00PM - 5:00PM)
5 hours before the conference, I was full of adrenaline. While eating breakfast, I was pumped up and distracted by the thought of seeing the girls in flesh - appearing in the same dimension I am in, breathing in the same air.
The mall is 40 KM away from where I live. Discouraged as Hong Kong Apink Garden messaged me the mall is already crowded, I was running between interchange station, and trying to seize every second that will allow me to get a spot close to the stage.
When I arrived the mall, there were tons of Pink Pandas. I quickly surveyed the crowd to find the best spot. I found one to the right of the stage. It was 12:00 PM. Press conference starts at 4:30 PM. As I stood there for 4.5 hours, I was extremely conscious of the people around me, so I angled myself in a strategic way, and slowly moved my way to the front (yay).
30 mins before the conference, Cause You Are My Star and Only One started playing to hype the crowd, and the fanchant was LOUD. As the people in front of me plan to stand on foldable chairs, I felt bad but I told them off. Luckily, they were mostly away from my view, so I had a clear view. The conference started, and throughout Chorong turned to us, and gave us a lot of fanservice.
Bomi's bangs were tragic as usual, but her voice was INEFFABLY CUTE. Hayoung was a maknae baby, Namjoo was a healthy kid, Naeun was a classy girl, Eunji was the 2nd leader, and Chorong STOOD OUT. Although the girls are as pretty as they are on camera, CHORONG'S AURA WAS NO JOKE. The way she carried herself was charismatic.
So here's the fancam by me. Excuse my passionate screaming and shouting: '>
The girls' answer to the MC's questions about their career was sentimental. Not going to go through every question ( you can find the translated Q&A on B2PMGG_ @ Twitter) but if anything, I will stay until the end. Don't worry about the shifting focus onto the NGG groups, girls!! We will pull through this together.
Part 2: (5:00 PM-7:36 PM)
As soon as the press conference ended, I ran to the elevator where Apink had headed to first. When I got there, again there were 60 people behind the rails already. So I ran from the mall and to the girls' carpark exit, and luckily I was right behind the rail.
First 30 mins of waiting was intense. However, as a human, we have physical limitations. Although I am an athletic person, the 4 hours wait at the mall, and an hour of intense tiptoeing and fanboying drained me out already. 1 hour passed, still no sign of the girls. Another hour passed, still no sign. It was 7:00 PM, I was frustrated and exhausted. My thighs were sore as hell. And the 40 KM distance back to home did not help.
Thank you to not_an_angel who encouraged me to stay HAHA. So I waited for another 36 mins, then finally the at 7:36 PM MOMENT CAME. 2 black 7-seater slowly drove out of the carpark. The first one was probably for Plan A's staff. Honestly, I tried not to get my hopes up for seeing Bomi.
But defying all odds, Bomi was seating right at the side I was standing in. She had all the right to cover her curtain. Instead, she waved at me, and gave me the heart sign.
Here's the video to it. Again, excuse my fanboying!!!!! (Skip to 0:45 for Bomi)

I failed to stay until the end when I was a SONE, but I promise I will as a Pink Panda.
I am going to the Pink Aurora concert tomorrow!! Will keep you all posted!!
