Fansite Calendar - 2017 Preview - Sung Kyu (Infinite)

Sharing the Calendar / Season's Greetings from Fansites. I got two different sets from two different fansites. Calendar Supports can be very expensive, really because it has a lot of inclusions (mostly).

So there's the calendar, some stickers, photocards, and postcards among others. 

  

See, the photos from the Calendar is really nice! You get a full pager, then a quarter of your bias' photo.  Sung Gyu's Birthday also has this cute icon of him =) Other important and related (Infinite anniversary, Member Birthdays are marked as well.

The other one I got with the calendar is a diary. Its included so it became a bit more costly than the others, and well It was beautiful, and of good quality so I am not complaining. The Fansite also threw in a lot of free stickers with the support so I'm pretty much happy about it. =) 

Sample Stickers you can use for the diary to mark important dates are here, mostly it coincides with the type of concept the support has. :D 

Fansite Slogans - Sung Gyu (Infinite) Collection

Infinite - Sung Kyu Fansite Slogans (2016)

I haven't even been to an Infinite Concert. But I got all these slogans of my bias and well, If I could, I would probably even collect more. Its just so addicting. Seeing the previews, collecting each copy and just well, staring at them kind of give you a different feeling too. =) 

These Photo slogans often come in a SET, sometimes Fans, Photobooks, or photocards, stickers. There are options to get full set which can be as high as Php4000. and There are also just Fans or Slogans that can be around Php 1000. I often get Fan + Slogan because the Fans are cute too! :D 

MTK or More than kyu set was fairly cheap. a number of people i follow bought this one and, the set comes with this cute photocard set of Gyu jumping around everland! So yeah Its a must have. 

Ah the Turningpoint Set (was for a Bday support, i think) and well i think I availed of this one because the fan that comes with this set was another of my favorite Sung Gyu pic taken when he was about to go inside MBC for the Weekly idol taping. Yep. He was stunning so.. again I just have to get that fan for myself. =P 

Douerky Set, I got this because this set was Gyu in Suit. hehe :D the Photobook was full of his photos in a formal Suit - yeah he looked really handsome in there. Plus!!!! The slogan was one of the few that have Gyu's latest pic as he was doing the Elvis (All Shook Up Musical). so.. why not?!  

Need I say more? I just have to get this one too coz Gyu was gonna throw a kiss in this phot, and its well, almost a full body slogan. =) 

In REALITY, Its STILL BEAUTIFUL

Every Little Thing(s) will make you think. It will all start so great, You are happy, you are so high with all sorts of emotions, following your favorite group and with all the photos, videos, shows and previews - You are excited about their new releases, their activity... You prepare to support, buy their albums, merchandise when its concert time, calendars when its year end... even buy some fansite goods. 

Then there will be times when its all so quiet, your boys have no activities - they are preparing for something, or something will happen when you have time to think about all those that you did, all those you purchased in support and you will feel what have I done? Where did I get all these from? What was I thinking? How in the world have I managed to all these goods.. and yeah, the money all went in here. 

There'll be times you will think oh these makes me so happy, but there are times like you would regret buying them as you should have tried harder to resist and seeing others have them in twitter or facebook will also make you regret not getting them. So its really such a dilemma. Being a Fangirl is such a hard life to live.

Well anyways, A lot of things will happen when you start to really follow one group...

First, There's the time issue, When the group you support have a comeback, its like going to be a full 2 weeks(at least of busy schedule and its hard to keep up and be updated with all that is happening over there in South Korea. You need time to watch all the music shows, you need time to vote for them and hope for them to win, you need time to stream their Music Video and also Stream in Music Sites, You need time to save and compile all the photos and GIFs and Videos that you have, You need a lot of time to watch and finish all the shows they have guested in.  Yup - TIME is one of the most crucial requirement when you start fangirling. 

Second, When there are a lot of things to do, there are a lot of things to BUY! Yeah you read it right. There is the Physical Album, most of the time, there is at least least two versions. Limited Version, and the regular version. Or there is a version of Black and White, Truth or False, Sense or Sensibility. Those kind of stuffs.  As if physical albums aren't enough, you also need to support them in their digital charts, You have got to have at least two mobile phones, one to stream for Melon - the Music App where digital counts the most when it comes to music shows and awards. So for you to help them to win in shows, you also have to pay at least $14.99 for the 30 day streaming with 30 MP3 downloads.  Naver Gives out free 120 or 80 passes, so at least this is free. Genie has a 10 pass free too valid for 3 days.  

When you are into this kind of things. The kind of love you give, the kind of support you do... You probably did not know how capable we are all of giving such attention to a group, or to a person and give with all our heart. I am able to say these, coz I have done all these, streaming, voting, anticipating...

This, really is just my rant probably. I'm just feeling a bit doiwn the past few days because as I have said, Mah boys INFINITE brought me into another world... I thought it is going to be a never ending Bliss. But they are the ones who brought me Back to the REALITY. I even thought of giving it all up coz I love Sung Gyu So much it hurts. Then I got to know HIGHLIGHT and after a couple of days, my emotional state was pushed aside. I was told that, whatever happens, IT's STILL BEAUTIFUL. 

Discovering INFINITE, and their Fansites! <('o'<)

You will never ran out of things to do in Twitter. Like, just follow a couple of Fansites (check if the twitter account has a lot of followers, like 5 thousand or more) and a few fellow fans (called mutuals) and you will be on your road to lots of time burning, spazzing on your favorite Idol group - and of course your bias. I swear, opening your twitter with the intention of just seeing a few pics or few updates of your favorite KPOP idol is not possible. You would probably be spending no less than 30 minutes without you realizing it. :P 

Search Result

I followed a few fansites, with the advice of a friend who became an inspirit before me. But actually when you just search for the name of your bias, if will load a lot of tweets and from there, suggested accounts will be given to you by the app itself. :D 

Follower count

As an infinite FAN, I followed a lot of Sung Gyu Fansites first. As I get to know Infinite members more, that is the time i took time to also follow their followers. Maybe this is how it was for me, I get to know the one that got my attention first before moving on to the other members. 

Elvis Gyu Support Slogan

Dongwoo and Sung Gyu USB

So just a month after following the fansites, came Sung Kyu's birthday and the fansites, and other mutuals would have tweeted about their Support Projects for the artist. I have had thoughts about it, but it seemed as though its wuite legitimate so yeah, I did try to participate in such supports - plus the fact that I get to have a fan, or a photobook, or a good that is inspired by the artist. 

There are a lot of supports, every concert they have supports, every activity, they have supports as well, especially if the artist will have guested on a show, or will tape a drama of at least 16 episodes. There are also the birthday supports. The goods or items are really wonderful too! Its like they are made with so much creativity and there are also fansites who would collaborate, two or more fansites of different members would join hands and sell their support goods that have similar items, like bracelets, mirrors, or photocard themes, etc. 

Type of goods are as follows:

Photo cards (size of a calling card, now there are also plastic or non carton photocards)
Photo Postcard (in multiple quantity / different shots)

More Than Kyu Photocard Set

Fans (the most common - sometimes photo of the artist, or sometimes a fanart or cartoonized version of the artist) Aren't they cute? Fansites really choose the best pics when it comes to these support goods to attract us all, and it is so hard to resist! 

Tumbler / water bottles (bulky, but very useful)

Dolls (one of my favorites, but these are special cases, does not come often)

Summer Dong Woo Doll

USB (designs are fanarts of the artist, contains videos or photos too) 

Summer Dong Woo EMS

EMS (electro magnetic stickers - i like this because i like decorating my phone with EMS. :P)

Notepads, Sticker Sets, (sometimes just comes with the support package you avail)

Made in L Stickers

Season's Greetings / Calendar Sets (always comes around when its year end, proceeds of these support goes to gifts to idols during the Christmas Season.)

Douerky Calendar Support

Photobooks (Also another favorite, But I have yet to get myself a full set of about 100 pages and more. Also most photobook sets are like gathered in a concept, like this one, Suit Boy. All photos are collected and all you see here are Sung Gyu in Suit!) 

Turningpoint Photobook

There are also other stuffs they include in ther support packages, like L Holder, Stationary and envelope sets, iRings, keychains, and now i saw their into embroidered bracelets - all designs are really so cute. 

The fansites, are really so good at taking photos of the idols that we love, they are known to the artists themselves already too(i think), because a lot of photos they share have eye contact too! (❀‿❀) 

The support goods, are actually fund raising on the part of these fansites... they send gifts to our idols and the range of their gifts are outstanding! They are in a different level! A scale so amazing you'd be left wondering as to how they can afford such lavish gifts! =) 

The truth is, buying the goods is like hitting two birds with one stone, i mean you get to have a goods so cute and increase your memories and collection of KPOP items you have and also in part, the gifts your idol or bias receives, actually also comes a portion of it by your participation. :D
