It was much later in the afternoon, 4 pm to be exact, and I am really bored.

We didn't do anything today, we just stayed inside.

I took a shower earlier and got dressed, I decided to go for a Korean-style look like every other day. I took some pictures for my Instagram as well.

I was sitting in the living room with everyone, they were watching a movie while I was scrolling through TikTok.

Caro came running downstairs looking really excited. "Hey, you guys want to go eat Korean BBQ for dinner? There is a restaurant like 10 mins away."

Everyone agreed to go, they went running to their rooms to get ready. Lucky for me, I was already changed and ready to go. I just went to the bathroom to fix my hair.

It took a while for everyone to get ready, around 30 mins. I grabbed my camera and started vlogging.

"Hey guys, so right now we are going to go eat Korean BBQ for dinner. It's like a 10 min walk from here, it's not that far," Sarah came beside me and said hi to my vlog.

Once everyone was ready to go, we started heading to the restaurant.

The sun was going down already, it goes down early since it's winter.
Golden hour is the best for taking pictures, so we were taking pictures along the way. And I vlogged too.

We made it to the restaurant and got our seats. We were seated near the back end of the restaurant. We ordered some meat and we started grilling.

We talked and had lots of fun, it's been a while since we got together and ate out.

We spent a few hours there having fun, we didn't drink though since tomorrow was a big day for us.

By the time we were done eating, It was already 9 pm. Caro paid for tonight's dinner and we started heading home.

It was quite dark now, the moon and the stars were shining brightly above us. It was chilly out, but I liked it.

We made it home and I wasn't tired at all yet. But I still ended up going to our room and washing up to get ready for bed.

I was first to get into the bathroom so Caro had to wait till I was done before she could go.

I tied my hair back and took off my makeup with a makeup wipe. Then I washed my face with some soap, and then I did my normal night skincare routine. I also brushed my teeth and changed into a pair of pyjamas.

I headed out of the bathroom and Caro went in to do her nightly routine. I grabbed my laptop and got comfy in my bed. I decided to finish editing my video so that it was ready to upload in the next few days.

I got a notification on my phone, I looked at it and it was a new comment on our latest dance cover.

I clicked on it, it was a hate comment saying "All of you suck, you guys don't even know how to dance. Especially the one in the red dress!" I was the one in the red dress.

I brushed it off since it didn't really bother me, I'm kinda used to it. Actually deep down it did hurt a little but I didn't want to let it show or get the best of me.

I scrolled back up to the video and watched it again. I looked at our team's logo.

ND Studios, I thought of that name.

*Flashback*

We were having a meeting in our studio. Caro stood up and walked to the front.

"Okay, guys we need to come up with a new name for our dance group. The old one isn't the best, and we need something new and fresh. Any ideas?"

Everyone was suggesting names. I was busy trying hard to think of one.

Then suddenly an idea popped into my head. "What about ND Studios?" I looked at everyone smiling.

"What does that stand for?" Caro asked me, looking confused.

"It stands for-"

*End of flashback*

My flashback was cut short when Caro came into the room.

She smiled at me and went to my bed and sat beside me. "Whatcha doing?" She said looking at my laptop.

"I'm just editing my video."

"Ohh, boring." She got up, grabbed her laptop, and sat down in her bed getting comfy. "I'd rather watch some Netflix than watch you edit."

I sometimes question who is really the older one amongst the two of us.

I chuckled and went back to what I was doing.

I finished editing after a few hours and then I went to sleep. Tomorrow was a big day, and I was excited!

*****

It was 6 in the morning and I was still kinda sleepy. Today is the day we are going to be on the variety show.

The producer called me yesterday and gave me a rundown on what was going to happen. She also told us to be there by 7 so we could get our hair and makeup done.

Everyone was awake and getting ready. I went first to take a shower. Since we are getting our makeup done on set, I don't need to do it myself.

I just blow-dried my hair and put on a cute outfit. Everyone will be wearing pastel blue just in different styles.

I finished up and let Caro go next. I also packed a small backpack with snacks and other things we might need, although they may have food on set.

Then I headed downstairs to wait for everyone to get ready.

The show that we are going on is called 'Weekly Idol', many idols have been on this show. We are so lucky to be on this show even though we aren't 'idols'.

Everyone was done and we were waiting for the cars to pick us up. It didn't take long for them to come. We all went into the cars and started driving off to the studio.

We made it and the building was huge. The show was going to be filmed in the basement section of the building. When we got there, there were lights and cameras everywhere.

And the spot we will be filming in was all white. We greeted the staff and the producers and they took us to get our hair and makeup done. They also briefed us on what was going to happen.

Everyone got different styles of hair and makeup to suit their style. And we started filming.

The show consisted of different segments.

First, they got to know each of us individually, and they asked us many questions about the group and how it started.

Thankfully all members can speak some Korean and understand quite a bit. Caro and I were the most fluent, if something needed translating we did it for them.

Mostly Caro and I were answering the questions about how the group was formed and stuff like that.

They asked me a few questions about my YouTube career and about how I manage my time and stuff like that. I answered them as honestly as I could.

They also asked us if we had ever been trained by a professional, and the answer is no.

That is a big flex we had in our group. Caro and I had only been to one professional dance class. But we were mostly self-taught. Caro and I were the ones who taught our members how to dance and sing well. I was proud of it.

Then we performed 2 dances which were 'I Can't Stop Me' by twice and 'Dynamite' by BTS. We also sang songs such as 'Into The New World' by Girls Generation, this song was one of our first dance and singing covers. And I sang 'Rise Up' Morissette Amon's version, and many more.

The MCs were shocked at how talented we were, they were shocked that we are so good for a self-taught group.

They were telling us that we were perfectly synchronized and we didn't make any mistakes at all, we also had excellent facial expressions, and that we had stable vocals even while dancing.

They even told us that we were better than some groups that have had years of training. I was so proud and happy. Our hard work paid off.

They gave us small breaks in between when the 'commercials' would play on tv. We ate some snacks, drank some water, and freshened up before filming again.

We had a lunch break in between. I was right, they had food for us on set. They ordered us some 'jjajangmyeon' aka black bean noodles and 'tangsuyuk' aka fried pork with sweet and sour sauce, with some soft drinks.

Next, we did some games such as random dance play, guess the song in 1 second, guess the member, blindfolded dance challenge, and etc. We got prizes and stuff for each win.

Although I don't know much about kpop members specifically, the other members who were huge fans of kpop did good in the games.

I personally don't like knowing almost everything about someone through a video or tv show. I'd rather get to know them personally. I just feel like it's kinda creepy if I knowing almost everything about someone without even meeting them first.

Then that was the end of the filming for the show. We were filming for about 4 hours, and we were exhausted. We had so much fun and I hoped that we get invited to other shows and interviews.

It will be split into 4 different episodes. And it will air the next day at night.

After discussing a few things with the producers and staff, they gave us a ride back to the Air BnB.

I went straight into my room and plopped down on the bed. I needed to take off my makeup but I was too lazy to stand up. But I eventually forced myself to do it anyways.

I quickly took off my makeup and changed into something more comfortable. I went to my bed and took a long nap. It was 3 pm and I slept till 6 pm.

*****

It is the next day, and we were free to do whatever we wanted to do. The company was kind enough to let us stay for 1 week, most of the expenses are paid by them.

Today we were planning on going clothes shopping and we want to try new foods.

Only us girls are going to go shopping, the boys will stay back and maybe go out later.

We woke up at 9 so that we could leave at 10 and have an early lunch before we shop.

I already took a shower and put on a cute outfit. I am wearing blue skinny jeans with a beige sweater, white heel boots, my white trench coat, and my white purse.

I also did my makeup and hair, like usual I did Korean-style makeup.

I grabbed my phone and camera and went downstairs to see if everyone is ready. Caro was done before me so she was waiting downstairs in the living room.

Almost everyone was done getting ready, when they were done we headed out.

We were going to take the bus since I don't think all 15 girls will fit into a taxi. And 2 taxis are way too expensive for us.

We got on the bus and scanned our cards and took a seat. We decided to have lunch at this cute diner.

After eating we headed to go shopping.

[A few hours later]

We are done shopping and we are back home, I bought quite a lot. I had a lot of space in my luggage and I had a second one. I bought quite a lot of clothes, makeup, and skincare products. I also got some ramen and other snacks that I could bring.

I have only a little bit of space left in my luggage. I'm not surprised honestly.

We also went grocery shopping. We got a bit of food to eat throughout the next couple of days, mostly snacks. Tonight we are going to make hot pot.

I looked at the time on my phone and it said 5:37 pm. I should probably start prepping dinner.

I turned to Caro who was still putting stuff in her luggage. "Hey Caro, should we start prepping dinner?"

She looked up from packing her stuff, "yeah I guess we could. We gotta chop the veggies and stuff."

I nodded and got up, I skipped downstairs to the kitchen.

It was quite loud down here since the boys were playing on the Xbox that Airbnb provides for us.

I walked into the kitchen and started taking out the stuff that we needed. Caro came a few mins later with Natalie. She is one of the oldest members of the group, she likes to help out with cooking and stuff.

Natalie made the broth, I chopped the meats and seafood, and Caro chopped the veggies.

We were chatting while we were cooking, talking about random stuff.

When we were done prepping, I decided to cook some battered fried shrimp. We had all the ingredients so why not.

I made the batter, which didn't take long. Meanwhile, Caro prepped some shrimps. Natalie did the frying.

After cooking, we called everyone down and we all sat at the dining table. Then we started the hotpot.

It was delicious, like always. As we were eating Caro brought out some soju. Since there are 5 underage members, they only had juice. The rest of us drank. I only drank a little since I didn't want to get drunk.

The rest of our evening was fun, and I love spending it with them.

*****

It was now our last day here and I was quite sad. I loved it here! Honestly, if I could I would live here.

We had so much fun the last few days exploring Seoul. I'm sad it couldn't last longer, hopefully, we get to come back here again.

I had all of my stuff packed and ready to go. It's 7 am and we had to get going at 8 since our flight is at 10.

I had showered, gotten ready, vlogged, and we all ate breakfast.

Last night we made sure to clean up any mess so that the owners of the Airbnb won't have a hard time cleaning.

I double-checked my stuff making sure I didn't leave anything. I also made sure the check if I had my passport, and thankfully I had it.

Caro was downstairs already. I grabbed my stuff and closed the door to my room. I brought my stuff downstairs.

I will definitely be missing this AirBnB, it's so pretty and cozy here. I wished I could take it with me.

Everyone was downstairs waiting for the cars to pick us up. The company was kind enough to offer us a ride to the airport.

As we waited, Caro and I made sure to double-check each room so we don't leave anything behind.

Not too long afterward, the company cars arrived, we started to load our stuff into the cars. But then I realized we were missing something.

I stepped back and yelled "WAIT, we need one more thing!"

Caro was shocked and confused, "What are we missing, your passport? Is everyone here? Do you guys have your luggage?"

I laughed and shook my head. "We need to take one last picture together here in front of the Airbnb. You know, for memories."

Caro relaxed and chuckled. She walked over to me and looked at everyone and paused. "Okay, one last picture."

I was happy and everyone gathered around. I asked one of our drivers to take a photo for us.

I went into the middle of everyone. "Say cheese!"

The driver took the photo and I thanked him. Then everyone went into the cars, and now we are headed back to Canada.

Goodbye Korea, I'll see you again soon!

Authors Note:

So guys that is all for this chapter. Do you guys like it?

I am not really sure if I like how I wrote it. It's all over the place and really random. But I would love to know what you guys think about this chapter.

This took a while to write, and I am sorry I mashed it all into one chapter. I didn't want a lot of chapters without BTS (does that make sense? You know what I mean, right?), which is why I made this short.

But don't worry BTS will finally make their appearance soon. Just stay tuned for it!

Also, I didn't want the part where they were in the show to be too detailed because 1) Idk what to really put, I have only seen a few variety shows. And 2) because I didn't want it to be too long. So yeah.

See you in the next chapter!
