Orange Shock…a Visit

Today was like joining a pilgrimage in my quest to see Wheesung’s record label office — Orange Shock that is.  All i have is the address of the company which is located in 논현동 (Nonhyeon-dong).  We just took the subway going there and walk for like 3 kilometers.  The office is actually nearer whe you take the 신사 (shinsa subway station).

The nearest subeay station is Shin-sa.

When we finally reached the office it was a small building bearing P&Jennys, this must be the management company.  There was a DS sign and the building number 8-3 was written using a pentel pen (?) Street names are not popular in South Korea I guess unless it’s a big road.  Areas are referred to as district with blocks. 

the OrangeShock logo as antenna accessory... have you seen the 8-3?

I have not met Wheesung but get to talk to an 아주씨 (ajusshi).  He was kind enough to took pictures of us standing in front of the building minus Wheesung.  He said that the office is indeed Orange Shock and that Wheesung used to go there, most importantly, he said Wheesung is good.  I was afraid at first when we were planning to visit Orange Shock but the office is like the other record companies in my country…it seems to be away from people.  I suddenly felt like wanting to see Wheesung badly…the opportunity is there but we were unlucky. I wonder where he was at that time.

I am about to complete all the CDs of Wheesung.  I was expecting that ‘Like a Movie’ will be the hardest to find but what I am missing now is It’s Real, the second album.  The first store I went to is Kyobo this is where I got Eternal Essence of Music, Love…Love! Love?  and For the Moment.  The first and second album is out of stock.  I was able to get hold of Like a Movie at Evans Music Store.  I hope to complete the collection.  I already have all his albums in my iPod but its worth collecting the real thing…speaking of REAL SLOW 🙂

WHEESUNG I missed seeing you in Orange Shock.  I was expecting to be SHOCKED seeing you in person…

    Oh goodness you to go to Orangeshock too!!! How cool is that! Yes, I was surprised when I went there, how isolate it was, and yet at the same time very open. That was awefully nice of him, seems like the people that work there are very nice. That’s awesome that he told u that Wheeoppa used to go there, and that he complimented him! Trust me I felt the same way…I was hoping that he would just happen to be there…its good to know that if you’re lucky you may run into him there. I think that he may still be recovering from his vocal surgery, that’s what I am assuming. I love the last line…I would have loved to be shocked to see him too. I think that we took the same way you did too, that district in Seoul is really long, and there are so many blocks I guess because most people who go there have cars. Its awesome that u got to go there^^
