Unboxing of K-Pop EXO Album received from South Korea | A Gift from South Korea - First, I wonder what it is....
A Gift from South Korea
First, I wondered what it was...
Have you ever encountered a moment when you receive a gift
from another country and, that too, the day before your birthday? Well, I did
come across such a moment in January. Although I wanted to share this
experience with you for the past months, I couldn’t do so due to my university
finals. But now, since it is done and dusted, I found a peace of mind to share
this wonderful surprising experience that came up early this year.
Last December, while surfing the internet, I came across a
competition which was organized by one of the governmental Ministries of South
Korea. It was not that of a hard online competition, but was more of writing
skills. I just kept on typing on the topic they had asked the participants of
the competition to write on. At the end of the page which the competition was
loaded, a series of gift options were displayed to be selected in case I win
the competition. This was an opportunity given for the participants to choose
the sort of gift they would love to receive if they won and came within the
first 100 winners out of all participants worldwide. There were three options
listed, out of which the first one was a CD of a famous Korean pianist (whose
name I have forgotten), a poster of another famous figure and last, one of the latest
albums of the EXO boy band which was released in the year 2015 (Love Me Right - Repackaged).
It’s
been sometimes ever since I became a k-pop fan. My first favorite Korean boy
band turned out to be SS501 where Kim Hyun Joong was the leader followed by 4
other members (Kim Hyung Jun, Heo Young Saeng, Park Jung min, Kim Kyu Jong). I
was and still am a great fan of the boy band Shinee. However, it is of no
argument that EXO, which is one of the boy bands established recently has received
much of popularity worldwide. Just like certain other K-Pop boy bands in South
Korea, EXO has even reached to great popularity in many countries including United
States of America, many countries in Europe and many parts of Asia.
Nevertheless,
by the time I chose the gift out of the list which I considered to have if in
case I win from the competition, I wasn’t a huge fan of EXO. But it was much
familiar to me than the other two options. Therefore, without hesitation, I
selected the EXO gift.
In January, around two days before my birthday, I received
a note by the local post office that there was a package which had arrived
under my name and was kept at the post office for collection. What do you think it may have been? No doubt, you can guess it easily...
