I was at a loss for words when I first saw this on coolsmurf's blog on wondergirls. To think that most artists would skip Singapore(due to the minority of kpop fans, majority of englishsongs fans: evident in Singfest), there's finally a pit stop for Kmusic artists: Singapore!
It's definitely some news worth celebrating for us kpoppers, but as you can see, it's on the 4th, which unfortunately clashes with my O'lvl timetable, having MT on the next day. So, sadly I'm not going. With enlightenment from my sister, I can just fly to korea next time.
