• Question: can i ask you something?whenever you go to broadcast shows or tv shows,are fans allowed to bring dslr in or did you guys sneaked them in? XD - giraffewarrior
• Answer:

  I’ve never brought any kind of camera into any tapings that isn’t attached to my iPhone. Anyone who does is breaking a major, MAJOR rule and is risking getting themselves, the entire fan club, and the group in trouble. With shows like Music Core, when the fan club breaks rules, the staff remember and demerit the fan clubs by giving them less seats the next show. To me, it’s never been worth the risk.
  However, there are events where it is okay to bring cameras, including all outdoor events and most festivals.This is where most of the fan sites take their photos. If you see a fan site taking photos from tapings and broadcast shows, it’s not a sign of a good fan, but a risky one.

It’s no secret that I am completely obsessed with Gangnam Style. It’s the best song ever and is flawless.

I got two pairs.

I regret nothing.
