yessss because that story is over a year old now omg!!! time flies...haha. it happened cuz i won those three fansigns in the same day. idek how......one was in cheonan, one was in suwon, and one was in seoul. for the one in seoul, i bought 35 albums...but for the other two, i only bought 5 each, just for fun..you know. the one in suwon was online sale so i didn't have to go to suwon, but i had to go to cheonan in the morning before dream concert to buy albums XD i went way too early on accident and had to sit outside waiting for the store to open for a few hours hahahaha. but then i bought them and went to dream concert and during the concert, the fansign results were released and my friend and i checked them on our phones and i was screaming because i won TWO OF THEM!!! my friend had checked the other one and said i didn't win so i believed him. but the next morning right before i left i checked again just to be sure and MY NAME WAS THERE. my friend didn't recognize my name LOL. OMG IT'S A GOOD THING I CHECKED or i would have missed it...omg though SOMEHOW i won all three O_O i'm still amazed keke i think that might be a record XD i know many people who have gone to two in the same day but three? haha...and it was so funny, because i met them in cheonan first and then i had to run really fast to suwon, they have their own personal car but i had to go all the way to the train station and wait for a train. omg i was so scared i would be late to all of them. the whole day i was rushing XD after i ran into the second fansign key was like "O__O HOW DID U GET HERE SO FAST?" ahahahhahaha i told him i took a train and that it was really hard and i was almost late, so i asked "i'm going to the next fansign too, can you take me in your van ㅠㅠ" and he said "yea sure XD" LMAO so i keep saying that as a joke that he still owes me a ride hahahahaha and it was so nice, because i got to meet him three times in the same day which is more than most fans get to, so each time we met we just continued the conversation from where we left off, it was like i got to have one long convo with him ^^ that's why he remembers me well. because not many people get the chance like that to see them so much at one time. i'm really grateful, i feel so lucky omg i still don't know how i won 3 different ones at the same time XDDD pinch me!!

Yeah, I've been to a few. The two I remember are pretty decent.

The one that I like is called Come Inn, and it's in Hongdae right by playground park/club street and next to the Hongik University campus, which means it's in the center of everything so it's always crowded and at nighttime there's tons of people outside drinking and partying. So if you don't like crowded places maybe don't try this one haha but if you want to party, this is the place to be.

The hostel itself is nice and not really full of partying, and you can't hear anything loud from outside in there, from what i experienced. The rooms are alright and the living room/common area is nice too with a big TV. There's also a balcony so if you DO want a place to hang out, you can go up there and meet people and play cards or drink or whatever, and look down around the street and buildings.

I really enjoy that place mostly because of the location. During the night Hongdae is full of partying and clubs, and during the day it's crowded too because there's a lot of shops and good food. Usually there will always be people busking or playing impromptu concerts, or underground rappers doing little shows around Hongdae. Also, on Saturdays the art students from Hongik University have a flea market selling their works in playground park, which is a good place to pick up unique souvenirs. I bought my parents hand-painted fans :)

Another one that I went to recently was in Wangshimni, it was called 2C House. The rooms were really nice, but the manager was never around when you needed him, and i don't think there was a living room/lounge area. The location is ok because it's Wangshimni (on the green line, connected to a lot of other subway lines), but I prefer Hongdae. There's not too much to do around Wangshimni, it seems like.

I've been to a few others a long time ago that I don't remember where they're at or what they're called, but in my experience it's kind of hard to find a bad one O: There are plenty of websites where you can search for hostels and see people's reviews ^^ Sorry I don't know more. Good luck!

If you have a korean cell phone you text the number #8000 (must include the #) with your message, or you can make an account at the imbc website and then go to the Blue Night page here: http://www.imbc.com/broad/radio/fm4u/bluenight/index.html

---

On the sidebar there are 3 entries:

---

mini 메시지 : this lets you send mini messages (under 120 characters) similar to a text message (these are viewable to the public)

---

사연과 신청곡 : here you can send in your personal stories (in korean) or song requests (these messages are locked and not viewable to the public, except for the title)

---

새 글이 등록되었습니다 : another board to write stories (these are also locked and not viewable to the public, except for the title)

---

All of the boards have a **do not spam** warning, so be careful of spamming, and you should write in Korean. If you want to say generic messages to Jonghyun or that you love Blue Night, you should use the mini message board. The other boards are mostly for serious posts of personal stories for Jonghyun to talk about on the show, or song requests (in the song request board only).

Yes actually I'm pretty sure you can buy tickets on Interpark Global. I've never done it though (so don't bet everything on me), but it seems possible. Because they have tickets for things like Singing In The Rain on the global site. But if you can get an ARC number while you're living here in Korea (i think you need to be staying at least half a year to get one) that would be better, or ask a Korean friend who has an Interpark account to let you borrow theirs, then you can use the Korean Interpark site and I think you can still use a foreign credit card on there, even.

And you don't have to buy all tickets on the 22nd. The ticketing opens on the 22nd and stays open. And even if you can't buy any right away, the shows are never FULLY sold out so if you need a plan B you can buy tickets whenever you want, just watch carefully (keep checking) and see when people cancel their ticket orders and new seats will pop up. You can get decent seats that way if you're diligent about checking (I've gotten 3rd row seats before that way). Or you can get a seat that's a bit farther, but either way there's guaranteed to always be some seats available, the shows won't sell out like a concert.
