140101 [Fan Account] M.Pire on After School Club (ASC)
Hi to everyone reading! I know it been a couple of years since I posted here. Well actually I made a few entries that I set on private, but other than that I deserted my lj. T_T There were a lot of personal things I wanted to write about, but never did. I mainly reblog or post photos on Tumblr instead writing text post. So I decided to write down all the fan accounts I have from last year here, but starting with 2014 and then working my way back, before I forget. lol
So a loooot of people have been asking me how did I manage to get on live Arirang TV.
On my instagram I post pictures of myself on screen behind the kpop singers, which called the live audience. There is no secret behind getting on. Just apply.
Prior to the new rule, it was first come first serve, so the earlier you applied the more likely you were to be chosen.
However, now they say it's completely random.
Your chances of winning live audience also depends on the popularity of the singer that is coming to the show.
The live audience hangout rooms have to be muted, we can only communicate through typing.
Whether I won it myself, or someone passed their spot to me I've been lucky to attend the live audience of; Bangtan, Bigstar, Tasty, SHINee, Boyfriend, and U-KISS. I passed the B.A.P one to a friend. I got Bigstar and Tasty from friends. Had the opportunity to do VIXX, TOPP DOGG and The Boss, but for VIXX the show invited over 300 people invited and I could not secure a spot in time for such limited spots. (So sad since it is my #1 bias group) For Topp Dogg my internet connection failed. For The Boss, I was invited really late and I was already comfortable in bed. (lol) I could tell that not a lot of people applied for that particular episode. I contemplated applying for The Boss' Hangout, but I didn't have anything to show.
See here, my giant floating head in the background. -> For some reason I was doing something "cute" behind Tasty, and there I am getting unexpectedly zoomed in on during Bigstar
The only other times I applied for Hangout (when actually get to talk the the singers) were for both VIXX episodes, 100% and Bigstar. I struck out with everyone. I would have not been able to do 100% anyway because that June, a storm came and ruined my internet connection for 2 weeks. I missed watching Girls' Day live too. aww. A lot of people who got to hangout with VIXX the first time are actually fellow Starlights that I knew, so I was very happy for them. The fandom has grown so much now that on VIXXs' second visit to the show, I didn't know any of the people who won hangout. I was kind of pressed though, because I wrote like a 1000 word essay about why I like them and blah blah. (lol)
For the Bigstar episode, for some reason I didn't think there were many International Bigstar fans. So I thought that my hangout application was so good, that I forgot to apply for live audience. Apparently the show was more interested in people who had already met Bigstar in their own country. A friend of mine won the link to do live audience, When she found out that I did not even apply to live audience she gave me her spot, because she said that she knew I was their fan. ;A; Thank You So Much! ;A; The didn't show fanart that episode, , so I was glad that I was able to print one of mine out to hold up throughout the stream.
I have been pretty good at predicting the next guests for episodes lately, like I literally felt that VIXX would return for another episode. I feel asleep on a show while it was live and when I woke up my mentions were blown up with "VIXX coming on ASC" (lol) I said after VIXX that it is probably unlikely that I will stay up all night and watch another episode of ASC live unless DGNA (The BOSS) comes on. I fell asleep on the VIXX episode too, when I woke up, people were like "you got your wish, dgna are going to be on the show." Immediately I was like wow, I won't apply, but I'll draw something. Like I said earlier they didn't show art anyway and I didn't do live audience, but I had fun watching them talk and sing live. *swoon*
As far as fanart goes. I send fanart whenever I can. If I like the group a lot and I think they won't get a lot of fan stuff, I'll send what I have or I'll draw something before the weekend. However, every time I send something, the fanart videos are not shown. .________. ; The only time any of my fanart was shown was during the LC9 episode. haha. I'm really happy about that though.
I sent a really cute fanart for M.Pire that I made just for the show, but if you watch the episode you will hear Eric say there wasn't enough time to show fan art/videos on air. =_=. I wanted to post it in the fancafe instead, but turns out I had not leveled up yet. I'll do that sometime this week. In the meantime I tweeted it to the group instead.
Getting into the actual M.Pire Hangout + How ASC Hangout works
After Eric's special Christmas episode finished. He announced that M.Pire were going to the next guests. I applied to live audience and spent a couple of days working on that drawing whenever I could, above and sent it in an email.
I thought about applying to actual hangout.
2 members of M.Pire really love wearing animal print. particularly leopard and cheetah prints, haha. mostly leopard.
I was looking in my closet and I randomly found a matching sparkly leopard print scarf and hat set.
I immediately regretted not applying to hangout. I didn't know what to put on the application though, I would keep opening it, type something then close it back. haha
So to cover my regret, I kept making jokes, that because they don't have many international fans yet, that the time that I didn't apply, would actually be the time that I would have gotten chosen to go on.
Then I said I would make a parody of an application for fun. Saying something, "I used to be picked on in high school, but since I've become a fan of M.Pire at age 25, I have a lot more confidence now" stuff like that. I decided against it though even though my tlist wanted me to. I'm glad I didn't do it now. xD
I got accepted into the live audience for M.Pire! So I was excited to spend my new years night in the live audience hangout for M.Pire.. yeah I have like no friends around anymore, but there was still no guarantee that I would be completely sober. (lol)
When I got into the live audience hangout out, literally only 4 people were on. A friend of mine named Heather and me were in a room by ourselves for like 20 minutes, then we moved to a room that had a couple more people in it. Usually there are 4 or 5 functional hangout rooms for live audience, but that day only 2 were being used by us. We figured everyone was busy because it was new years day. I was worried that there wouldn't be a lot of people to come support M.Pire. ;_; I think a few more people came after I left though.
So this is how I got onto the Main hangout.
I was in the live audience chat as usual, but I didn't have my camera turned on yet. The ASC admin came in the room and said "We'll be picking 2 more people to hangout with M.Pire!" I was like, I felt like this could happen again. It happened before on the SHINee episode. They got someone from the live audience room I was in to chat with Shinee! A friend of a friend of mine. lol
So anyway the mystery admin is like we are choosing someone from the rooms. There were only 5 people in the room I was in mind you, lol 2 of which had already been on before. I playfully wrote "pick me at least once." lol Then the ASC admin wrote my name like Ciera? (this all happened in the matter of seconds honestly) All the hangout people kept writing "pick ciera!!' lol Thanks loves, really, I was touched. but I was like "What am I getting myself into?"
So the ASC admin was like can you turn your camera on? I was like oh sorry..
I didn't have it on, because I didn' t want to turn my lamp on until the show rehearsal began. because It makes the room hotter.
In a hurry, I reach up to adjust my camera on top of my computer monitor and I knock it down. (whomp)
I get the camera on, and the ASC admin is like okay good. Can you send us your email with your name and country?
Like 15 minutes later I get an email to me and another young lady with the link titled "Here's the Hangout link for M.pire!!! Come, come~"
In the M.Pire hangout we just chill out for a while and chat a bit. I told ASC admin that I put on leopard print clothes because Taehee and Lumin like to wear it.
Than ASC admin was like "you're a real fan!" or something like that lol

Oh, hello, there Ciera!
me 1:21 AM
Hello! Thanks for inviting me! <3
Arirang Kim 1:21 AM
Not a problem.
We're going to have a audio check anon.
But, we should have another member here. Sonisa, from Cambodia.
Sonisa Noun joined group chat.
A person comes on audio and he gives us a series of sound checks to make sure our mics work and stuff, It was pretty painless, they are friendly.
I decided to use my earphones so I can avoid any echos from the show.
Arirang Kim 1:41 AM
Ciera, you're going to get a brief script over e-mail, so please check that in about 2 minutes.
Arirang Kim 1:44 AM
Oh, wow. Ciera's a real fan, indeedie.
Ciera, what age are you?
me 1:45 AM
... i'm 25 lol a year older than leader x_x
same age as Eric. ^^ and from GA too, but we never met ;A;
me 1:59 AM
Eric looks handsome in that jacket!
2:00 the rehearsal starts -
Arirang Kim 2:49 AM
Folks~
Here's the Hangout order.
1. Antonia
2. Yvonne
3. Nicole
4. Ciera
5. Sonisa (if possible)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric really did look good in an all black outfit, leather jacket and he didn't have his glasses on during rehearsal. haha
Here is a short clip of Lumin singing in English. He's so funny.
Here is my cut from the show. The full show is uploaded on youtube a few times, you can just search it and find it easily.
The reason I was going to say that I like M.PIre was a little longer, but I forgot some parts of it lol. I wish I had longer to prepare a better answer. When Jerry is asking his question, I look briefly confused or something, it had nothing to do with him, something was going on with my audio or something. but i forgot what it was lol. I'm happy there wasn't really a lag between me and them, that was something that scared me most about applying for hangouts. But I watched the show through ASC's hangout camera and I saw the show exactly at the same time it was airing, so the lag from me was probably only half a second. Since I got the image quiz answer correct I "won" a kiss as a gift from the members. Which was a funny question because most of the guys in this group are pretty conceited acting divas rofl. Leader Taehee a little more than the others though ,in my opinion. He is my bias anyway. I felt a little sorry for making him embarrassed/shy about it. rofl. After re-watching the show. I think its amusing how they uniquely carried out their hand kisses. Kind of says a lot about the boy right? haha. Lumin was so giddy. *3* The others were so adorable. T.O was very sweet. Jerry couldn't keep his tongue in his mouth and kept yelling at me. xD Useung was being all charismatic, but he broke and smiled really cutely at the end. Haru was being cute and chic at the same time. Red was really focused on my screen, I got fluster when I watched the episode lol. I wish my goodbyes didn't cut Eric's message at the end though. >_< The whole thing only lasted about 2 minutes and 30 seconds because of time constraints we had to stick to the script.
Since I have done hangout with a singer/group. I am not allowed to apply again for another 6 months!
The only other group I would consider applying for is Mr.Mr., but I have no regrets about accepting this episode! I love M.Pire even more now. :D
I'm really tired now, making a lot of tying errors too, so i'm going to bed!
If you have any questions just comment and i'll answer. ^^
