Results of Minho's coaster giveaway event ^^

Hi all!

First of all, thank you for taking part in the giveaway. So many people participated within the short 2-hour time frame and the response was definitely greater than I had expected. Thank you for participating!! It was really difficult for me to choose just one entry as sooooo many amazing ones were submitted. I would love to give away more if I could but sadly, I only have 1 main prize (the coaster) to give away, so I can only choose one entry T__T

The winner is:

Natasya from Indonesia! *CONGRATULATIONS* ^^

She shared that her favourite video is Minho's 'Good Day' which he performed at SHINee's 5th anniversary concert. I super super love it too OMG :')

Anyway, please have a look at her winning post :)

"Hi unni! ^^ First, I want to say thanks to you for doing this giveaway. You are so nice! Well, why I love the video is basically because I really do love Minho soooo much. This year is my 3rd year as a shawol, still a new shawol but I already fall too deep to them >.< As we know, many people out there still judge Minho can't sing well and has slow development, but in this video I can see how much he tried and practiced to give us Shawols the best performance of him. I can see how sincere he sang it to Shawols, and as the title of the song 'Good Day', I always have a good day because of him from the very start I adore him. I had a problem the last 5 years and because I know SHINee, I know how hard working Minho is, I can solve every hardship I have and live to the fullest. I will continue to love SHINee and support Minho even more as long as I can. Every single time I watch this video, he always makes me smile and encourage me to do better every day just because the good day is a good day indeed :)"

As I said, it's really hard for me to pick just one T_T so................... I have also selected 2 consolation winners!!!!!! LOL XD they will also receive a little gift from me ^^

In no order of merit, they are:

1) Phuong Kim from Australia ^^
who shared Minho singing At Gwanghwamun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tges8Zcd_qw&feature=youtu.be

"I don't know if this is counted as a live performance of Ming or not xD But it really left me a huge impression. Even though it was just a short cover of Kyuhyun's At Gwanghwamun, only about 20s but I replayed it for hundreds times. SHINee is always a good live boy group, but since everyone can sing well, Minho is always forgotten. It's a sad thing because his voice is really beautiful, really warm and gentle. He just doesn't have many chances to show it. And the saddest thing is, it seems like Ming is not confident in his voice as well ㅠㅠ Because other members are all good, I think that's the reason why ㅠㅠ When I saw this video, I realized how beautiful Minho's voice is, how he felt inconfident at first, but then when he started singing, it's really beautiful. Everyone at the studio stayed in the stage and waved for him. They all encouraged him. SHINee's harmony is more of powerful and energetic style, thus Minho's voice cannot fit in well even though he did improve significantly. People seem to always forget Minho when talking about improvement since he is in charge of rapping, but Minho did improve a lot and I hope he can confidently show his voice more in the future ^^ Sorry if this is too long xD I have to admit that even though my bias is Taemin, I treasure and love Minho as much as I love Taemin. He's such a gentle man that takes care of others well. I feel warm when I see Mino :) So I hope I can get a chance of having something of him ^^ Thank you for holding this giveaway <3"

2) Rita from Indonesia ^^
who shared Minho's solo at Tokyo Dome <3

"Because I don't know why I just love the way Minho tries hard to make us smile and laugh until our tears are coming out with his outfit...song...acting like a child...dancing and the most touching moment is when he hug the little girl and at the ending when he went offstage he still teased us with his cute pose... Even when he is tired and exhausted he still tries his best to make us smile..."

It's not that I purposely chose long posts, but these were really nice in my opinion heh :')
And also, winners please send me an email with your addresses so I can post the gifts out to you.
Once again thank you so much to everyone for participating!!! And congratulations to the winners :)

Until next time ^^

[FAN ACCOUNT] 150312: Meeting with Minho @ Prism Hall

Today felt magical. Something I couldn't ever have imagined, actually happened. Handshake session with Minho!!
I won't go into all the dreary details, so let's start from the part where I was about to actually meet him up close :')



From what I visualized, "Prism Hall" seems like a movie theatre kind of place. I had thought that we would be in a hall with a stage or something, where we went up to them at a table (like autograph session) but hell nO it was in some white canvas curtain like a tent.
I was already in the Minho row and I saw a white tent. I thought, oh.. There should be another queue inside. Maybe we have to pass this first before we see him seated at a table or something. Then, right before I entered the white tent, I was about to read my mentions to ask him a question when I heard a "konichiwa" and I suddenly realized OH MY GOD THAT IS MINHO'S VOICE. OMG HE'S JUST IN THERE? Seriously?! Before I could recover from the shock, it was my turn and a woman asked me to go inside. I was still holding onto my phone charger and my comb was in my pocket (cuz I wanted to comb my hair nicely first but) LOLOLOL. I FAILED.  Before I looked at him, the woman asked for my card in Japanese and I was like, wait what? O__O then he repeated after her in Japanese ^^ Kado.... Something something. And I was fumbling for it because it was between my phone charger and my phone (with the long wire sticking out FML). Then after he took my card with both hands, he placed it carefully into the box. I was just looking at his face the whole time. Like *o*
REALLY. I couldn't stop admiring all his features and registering them into my brain. His hair was brown and fluffy, and his face was really small. Like a little apple ^^ I know people always say "Minho has a really small face" but OH MY GOD IT REALLY IS FREAKING SMALL HAHAHAHA. Probably because he's so tall, (like super tall I forgot to mention!!) <333 so his face looks even smaller..? I don't know ^^;;
But anyway that's about his face, and also his complexion. IT'S PERFECT. I mean I could see his face had make up but beneath all the powder his skin was smooth. There weren't pimples or something :) just really really nice. 
So while being so mesmerized about his face, I ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE HANDSHAKE (which is what this whole thing is about, right? LOL) So Minho looked at me with the usual O_O eyes and a warm smile, he extended his hand but I still didn't notice (yes, slap me now). Then he looked at his hand and looked at me again, and I was like OH RIGHT. So I glanced at his hand too and stretched mine out, still looking at his gorgeous, little Bambi face ^^ <3

Oh my goodness that handshake.

I felt like everything in the tent stopped moving except for our hands. We were still looking at each other and just shook hands for about 5 seconds, exchanging a few words in between but I really didn't have time for a question T_T
His hand felt slightly warm, and really soft. Not the baby kind of soft, but just very moisturized. It was a really comfortable handshake and I felt his hand fully.
After which, the security guard said okay, please go out so I slowly let go of Minho's hand, and walked away, still looking at him (and he was also still looking at me). We were looking at each other all the way until I got to the exit curtain. Just when I thought it was all over, he suddenly said bye bye! And waved at me. So sweet :')
And I said bye bye too ^^

So... just like that! Basically a very descriptive post of what went on in the tent ;)

But what I want to specially mention here, besides Minho's crazy good looks and softest hands, is how I felt so appreciated by him throughout. I felt very comforted being in the tent with him and as I walked out, the first thought that came into my mind was

 "MINHO, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Because I am your fan, I have a lot to be grateful for."

The last moment I remember was of him looking at me and waving. He didn't turn away before I did. Not to mention the handshake, where he actually waited for me to let go first..? I mean, WOW. Gestures like these, though small,can  actually mean so much. It made me feel so warm inside :')

All in all, I just want to say that he is such a precious person, and that I felt so fortunate to meet him.

If you managed to read until the end, thanks for sharing my joy!! And please don't feel upset because I'm sure you'll have the chance to meet him some day (even though you think otherwise) because my "some day" came today :)

And on behalf of Minho, I'd like to just remind you also that he loves and cherishes you more than you imagine, and he would /definitely/ show it if he had the chance to, so with all of Minho's love, thanks for reading my post :)
