It is said that these days, there are more cases of learning Korean or dreaming of studying in Korea under the influence of Korean culture and Hallyu, rather than learning Korean because they want to study Korean history in more detail. I am one of them. I want to watch Korean content, but I don't want to wait because the subtitles are uploaded a day later, and I started learning Korean because I wanted to hear and understand it right away. And I started to study abroad in Korea without knowing it. In the early days after coming to Korea, I lived quite a bit of a virtue life.

How to go to a Korean music broadcast:

Idols who have just made a comeback usually participate in music shows. Music broadcasts can be participated in two categories: pre-recording (pre-recording) and main broadcast. Participation in pre-recording can only be seen by the fandom of a specific idol, and the main broadcast can be seen by the MCs and other participants, all idols and singers in the hall where the live broadcast is live. However, there are times when the pre-recorded idols in the main broadcast do not perform, or only do half of them. The reason is that singers who only participate in other main broadcasts do not have enough time to prepare for the stage, so they have to do all the stage setting while the pre-recorded version is playing on the screen/TV. In Sanok, if you can participate by proving that you belong to the idol's fan cafe/fandom, there is a separate ticket for the main broadcast. However, ticket sales are not carried out separately. 1. Seats for people in the company 2. Application on the website of the broadcasting station 3. Idol fans in order to participate in the pre-recording (the number of tickets is set between 10 and 30 depending on the popularity of the idol and the number of activities held) 4. Radio Tickets can be obtained through the above methods, such as participating in the event. But the chances of getting it are low. (I've been to music broadcasts for almost two years, but I only watched the main broadcast once.)

Korean Music Broadcast - How to participate in the pre-recording:

Participation in the pre-recording can be accepted through the platform currently used as a fan cafe by idol entertainment (Hive: Weverse, JYP: JYP fans, etc.). Participant registration is notified 1-2 days prior to the pre-recording date and proceeds on the night of the announcement. Participant applications are received by 'clicking a button' on the application page on the platform, and participation is determined by the time of clicking. The 'button click' receives the participant number in seconds. The earlier the participant number is, the earlier you enter the performance hall and the closer you are to the stage. To click a button, you need something called a 'must have'.

Guidelines (there may be differences depending on the idol)

1. 1. Fandom membership card
2. 2. Last released album (by version)
3. 3. Light stick
4. 4. Last released album music download statement
5. 5. ID/passport, etc. included. Only those who have this guideline ready can apply for the button the previous day.

For reference, the waiting time for pre-recording is really long. In the first week of my comeback, I often spend the night at the broadcasting station. But being in the same space with people with the same interests is fun in its own way, and more than anything, it's nice to be able to see my idol up close.

In the next episode, I will tell you about the characteristics of each music show and participation in year-end performances.
