[Fan Account] F(x) and Miss A posted at 4:14 AM

My sister, father and I, had stepped out of Universal Studio's theme park at around 4pm. We had been there for only a couple hours. Mostly, we had gone in to look at the props and construction going on for Halloween Horror Nights. (My sister and I absolutely love this event.)

As we were walking out, over towards city walk, we had come to a halt. We had spotted a sign which read :

'KPOP'
Laser Vision World
MBC

Seeing the word 'KPOP' and 'MBC', I quickly pointed it out to my sister and father. We stood there and discussed back and forth among each other about it. Wondering what it was all about. Even though we asked the security guard, they had no idea what this filming was all about. We spotted a group of girls from a distance, they look normal, so we paid not much attention to them. When the film crew had gotten ready, the host approached the group of girls. The film crew, host, and the group of girls then began walking down City Walk. They had eventually come to a stop, the host and the girls began to talk to one another in Korean. I took a couple pictures from afar, still unsure of what was going on. Soon enough, about 10 minutes later the group had begun to move again, and come to yet another stop. At this moment, we decided to take a close look. It was then that my sister pointed out that one of the girls looked like Victoria.

As we looked and speculated, our suspension seemed to have been right. Once sure of it, we looked over at this young lady next to us (which happen to be f(x)'s stylist.) We asked her, "Is that f(x)?" She responded saying "Yes, f(x) and Miss A." At that moment my sister and I looked at each other, with such excitement. "It's Amber, Victoria, Suzy and Min!" The stylist looked at us a bit weird for a moment but then smiled wide. "You know them?!" "Yes, yes we do! We love Korean pop. We listen to their music!" The stylist was amazed, and quickly called out for the host and agent. She explained to the host and agent, that we knew who Miss A and F(x) was, and that we love kpop. One of the men in charge seemed to have given her a nod, and he quickly told my sister and I were to exactly stand. The man explained to us that they were filming and if we wanted to be a part of it. My sister was in shock, so I quickly told him "Sure!."

So standing on our marks, the camera men, the host, and the girls began to walk towards us. I was blown away that this was even happening. The host told the girls our names were 'Alex' and 'Cassie'. Amber was quick to greet us first, and the other three girls followed after. My sister and I were pretty much interviewed.

"Do you know who we are?!" Amber asked looking at us. "F(x) and Miss A!!" we responded back to them. All the girls seemed to be surprised. "Amber and Victoria." Both my sister and I took a pause, as we tried to remember the Miss A member's names. We were so excited and nervous, we had forgotten at that moment. Amber saved us by whispering to us "It's Suzy and Min!." "Suzy Suzy and Min!!" my sister shouted out in response.

The interview went on with simple questions like: "What's your favorite Miss A and F(x) song?" "What introduced you to kpop?" "How did you find out about us?" "Do you know any kpop dances?" etc.

The host had then taken his little stereo and told my sister and I to dance. Of course, we were totally stiff and awkward at first. Amber looked over at us and assured us that we would be fine telling us to 'let lose.' Once we kind of got it down, Amber asked us if we knew 'NU ABO'. I responded back by doing the 'powdering makeup on my face' move from 'NU ABO' of course. Amber, Victoria, Suzy and Min all giggled in response to that. Amber then asked me if I knew a Miss A dance. I told her I really couldn't remember a specific dance. Amber then told the host to put the song 'Bad Girl, Good Girl'. Amber told us to follow her moves, as everyone (including The host, Victoria, Suzy, Min, My Sister and I) followed along and did the 'You don't know me. You don't know me. So shut up boy. So shut up boy. So shut up boy. So shut up shut up.' move. Everyone clapped, and Amber assured my sister and I that we did a really good job.

After many giggles, the host looked at my sister and I. He told us that Miss A and F(x) were missing members and needed new ones. He told us, we had to pick a group to go to. My sister and I, absolutely love the two of them, so we looked at one another for a second. Suzy and Min suddenly broke out into total aeygo to try and lure us. Amber and Victoria were motioning us as well to lure us. A minute of two had passed, and the host came to a solution. The host told all four girls to face away from us and let us tap them on the shoulder to announce the winner. As F(x) and Miss A turned their back, we began to silently discuss. My sister walked up to F(x), tapping them on the back. I walked up to Miss A, tapping Suzy on the shoulder. Both teams and the host were surprised. Amber, Victoria and my sister began to high five one another and jump around. Suzy and Min, threw their hands up, and began waving at me frantically. Suzy and Min were truly full of aeygo. Both girls giggled, smiled and thanked me.

When they had stopped the recording, the host came up to my sister and I. He asked us if we would like to particpate and do a dance cover with F(x) and Miss A. My sister and I agreed. So one of the agents or assistants came up to us with a clip board and papers to sign. Explaining to us that this had to be signed as permission to air our bit on MBC and on YouTube. My sister, father and I signed to confirm. Miss A and F(x) came up to us one more time, telling us we had to meet up at the 'Comedy Club' at 5:00 pm.

---------------------------------------------

We all went our separate ways from there. Right before 5:00 pm, my sister, father and I, went up to the Loft, where the Comedy Club is. We waited up there, with a couple other fans. As we chatted with one another, and looked down onto City Walk, we saw that Miss A and F(x) were still recording something. At about 5:26, the camera men, the girls and the host began walking up to the Loft. They kindly greeted us all, and they all entered the room they seemed to be borrowing to store their equipment, bags, and some suit cases. After about 5 minutes, some camera men, the host, and a couple others walked out of the room. The host was nice enough to converse with everyone who was going to be apart of the next segment. The host asked us simple questions, and had told us it was his first time in California. After about 20 minutes, the host invited us all into the room they were borrowing. There where a couple security guards, lots of chairs, and a ton of bags/cases. As we all sat down, including the host, we all began to converse again. At that moment about 4 other people came in, they were within their early 20's. They were here to participate, but knew nothing about kpop. I took out my iPhone and showed them a Miss A and F(x) video. So as this was going on, one of the workers called my father and a couple others outside. When they had come back in the man had told my sister and I that we would be unable to participate. The reason why was because of some rules that stated no one under the age of 20 could participate in the dance with Miss A and F(x). (My sister is 13, and I am 18.)

My father was a bit annoyed about us not being able to participate in the dancing segment. He was a bit upset because he thought parental consent would be enough. Anyways, the host said he was very sorry and that Amber and Victoria had something for my sister and I. Amber and Victoria were very apologetic, and a bit sad about the situation. Wanting to make it up for us, Amber and Victoria gifted us with a F(x) First Album, with their signatures and a personal message. They were also very kind to let us take a picture with them. Victoria wrapped her arms around my sister and Amber wrapped her arm around me. They again apologized, and we thanked them for the wonderful experience and their kindness, as we said our goodbyes.

Once we had come out of the room, my sister walked over to Suzy and Min who where outside, and asked them nicely to sign her cap. Suzy and Min didn't hesitate to sign it. Suzy then took a picture with my sister, before they had left to get ready to record again. (Suzy and Min were unaware that my sister and I would no longer be participating. Since they had been getting ready for recording.) Amber walked outside along with Victoria. Amber conversed with my father for a bit, and joked around with him for a bit. She told him he could participate and dance with F(x) if he wanted. My father kindly rejected the offer, but thanked her for asking. Before we had left Amber apologized once again and said yet again goodbye. Victoria, Suzy and Min also waved goodbye to us.

--------------------

So there you have it. We notified the host about our withdrawing from the dance. The crew kindly apologized and we thanked them for the chance to spend time with the crew, F(x) and Miss A. Then we went off back to our car and drove to the nearest fast food place, hahaha.
