Just wanted to say, for those who arenβt ready to watch it, itβs really ok. Take the space you need to. And stay off Twitter and all other social media while itβs airing. Cos there will be posts.
For those of us watching, know that you are not alone. There is comfort to be had. Admire the strength and commitment of our guys. Appreciate their talent. Respect how vulnerable they were willing to be.
Iβll be watching and waving my lightstick and tissues.
Hugs everyone!
Hello hello hello again! Welcome back to another episode of sora's Fancall Experience! To celebrate their Japanese debut, UMJ had their very first fancall opportunity and I was lucky enough to get in. Let's dive in!
EXPERIENCE WITH UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN
As you can see from this post, there is no uploaded video of my call. That's because Japan's really strict in terms of this kind of content being shared outside of the respective parties, and I ain't tryna get blacklisted sooooo you'll just have to take my word that this happened lmao. This was also my first call over Zoom, versus LINE and KakaoTalk previously, which made for a very interesting experience.
The way that UMJ set it up is there were four separate Zoom rooms, all password protected (with one pasword thankfully). Each room was for a different purpose; three rooms were for talking to the girls, and one was for checking in with the staff before the call experience started. Yes, I said there were 3 rooms for the girls, meaning that each room had 4 girls on one call, and they split it up in numerical order (HeeHyunSeulYeo aka /3, ViVi EYE CIRCLE, and ofc yyxy). Each room was allotted 1.5mins of talking time, and you were to go into the rooms in order (check-in > girls room 1 > girls room 2 > girls room 3).
The call started at 2pm Japan time, which meant midnight for me, which was great! The earliest fancall I've had to do, compared to the 4-6am times beforehand. I set things up and was ready to go.
Let me tell you though...this was honestly a very stressful call for me LMAO. I logged into Zoom and waited for the room to open at around 11:55, and waited for a whole half an hour. From an Instagram group chat with other winners, it seemed like everyone managed to get checked in and were waiting in the next room ready to start their calls. I, however....was skipped. One of my friends was number 16 on the list order and they managed to get checked in and waiting before I did! The anxiety spike was REAL. I wasn't sure what was going on, so I left the room and reentered it (making sure that my Zoom display name matched the information we were supposed to give). I guess that did the trick, as I finally was answered and went through the check-in process. The next anxiety spike, however, happened when they asked me for my passport. I stupidly had my driver's license on hand instead (it's been a while since I've done a fancall okay hush) and was worried I needed to run and grab my passport inst
