of his body she realised that he was
wearing a lot of accessories including a leather wrist band, a
number of rings and a big silver cross around his neck.
They were so
engrossed in each other’s company that the whole evening passed
without them talking to anyone else. Krystal knew that she
should’ve made more of an effort to meet the other girls, but she
was on such a natural high that she didn’t care too much. There
would be plenty of time to get to know them, she reassured herself.
The only other person she was immediately concerned about was her
dad, who had been enjoying some whiskey with KYM and Ben.
As the evening
drew to a close, KYM stood up to make a final announcement.
“Everyone
thank you very much for coming tonight – hopefully you’ve had a
good time and learnt a bit more about each other. Krystal, I
thought it’d be good if you spent next week getting to know the
other girls better. I’ll give you a call tomorrow to set some stuff
up if that sounds okay?”
“Brilliant,”
said Krystal, smiling at the girls.
“Thank you
again, guys – the drivers are waiting out front to take you home –
have a safe trip!”
“Thank you!”
said everyone.
Krystal and
her dad got back into the Starship and spent the whole trip home
chatting about the evening. Krystal was so happy that her dad
seemed to like KYM. She was also very relieved to have finally met
the other girls; they seemed really nice. What she was most excited
about however, was meeting Andrew.

Meeting the
girls
KYM called Krystal on the Sunday to explain
the plan for the next few weeks. Krystal would need to call the
girls to arrange informal meetings with each of them; KYM would
cover all costs. The idea was that by Friday, Krystal would’ve had
a good chat with all the girls. This would make moving into the
house on the following Monday more comfortable for everyone. The
girls’ work as Kpop Club would then finally begin at the KYM
offices on the Wednesday.
Krystal called
the girls and was very relieved that they were all keen to meet up.
How great it would be to have nine new friends, she thought.
Monday –
Hannah and Nadia
Krystal’s
first meet and greet was with Hannah Smith on the Monday morning.
They arranged to meet at Coffee Bean in Shinchon for coffee and a
bite to eat. Hannah was from Bondi Beach in Australia and was
stunning, with long golden locks and sparkly blue eyes. She spoke
passionately about her love of surfing and how hard it was for her
not being able to go out in the sea on a regular basis.
Hannah
initially got into kpop as a GT Mountain fan and had grown so fond
of the genre that she set up a kpop club at school. KYM’s talent
scouts found a video of her covering a GT Mountain song on YouTube
and the rest was history. Krystal really liked Hannah and thought
that if the other girls were half as nice as she was, things would
be just fine.
The next
meeting of the day was with Nadia Abbar at 3pm in Hongdae. Nadia
was striking in appearance; she had turquoise eyes, long brown hair
and beautiful clear skin. She was from a city in Algeria called
Biskra.
Nadia and her
friends had organised a flash mob in Biskra town centre that was
witnessed by a Korean journalist reporting in Algeria. The
journalist interviewed Nadia and recorded a clip of her singing
PHP’s Love is Lost. When the video went viral, KYM rushed over to
Algeria to sign her. Krystal felt like they’d have lot of fun
together in the dance studio.
Tuesday –
Celine and April
Krystal’s
second day of meetings began with lunch at a Chinese restaurant
with Celine Beaumont. Celine chose the restaurant because
jajangmyun was her favourite food in Korea. Krystal found it quite
funny that her favourite thing to eat in Korea was a Chinese dish
but didn’t mention anything.
Celine was
very fashionable and carried herself with a lot of grace. She told
Krystal of how she fell in love with the group Brassy when they
went on tour in
wearing a lot of accessories including a leather wrist band, a
number of rings and a big silver cross around his neck.
They were so
