How to survive KCON
Since KCON is coming up and some of y'all that I know are going to KCON, whether it be Paris, New York, LA, whatever, or you've been to a past KCON
Even if you haven't gone to KCON and you're planning to go to KCON sometime, here's some tips
How to survive KCON, let's go
So JRE, how do you survive KCON? You won't, you won't
Like for real, the first thing is that you won't survive KCON because KCON is just a freaking convention
of just feels and things that are happening and you don't know where to go and you don't know what to do
But I'm here to save you!
First thing's first, well I learned throughout the four years I've gone, uh I think four, I think this is gonna be my fourth or fifth or third, I don't know right now
But stay hydrated, please stay hydrated
I mean I made that mistake so badly
Stay hydrated
Even if you're not thirsty, stay hydrated
You gotta keep yourself hydrated during these things because sometimes you just forget to drink
Coughs
It went down too fast
But yeah stay hydrated
Make sure you eat
Like I said, things are going crazy. You want to do this, you want to do that
You want to meet oppa, you want to meet noona
You want to meet your favorite idols
You want to meet your favorite Youtuber //me
Please make sure you eat, there's gonna be plenty of food in- I've only been to the New York one and LA one
Because in the New York one, they didn't have that many food so step your game up, New York
I mean you stepped up your lineup, but did you step up the convention though
Also go back to stay hydrated, see in New York, it's not inside like LA is, so even in LA, you gotta stay hydrated
But in New York, it gets really hot so you need to stay hydrated, okay?
Make sure you eat
Now when you register, I think- I don't know how um KCON's doing it this year,
but when you register for your tickets or to pick up your tickets or to pick up your wrist bands for the convention
They might give you some cards where you like hand touch or you can go see them at like a press conference or a panel- that your uh favorite artist's gonna be at
They give you cards, right? Sometimes they don't give you the card that you want, so this is another tip
If you don't get the cards that you want, you know like you're like - say you didn't get a BTS hi touch, you know what I'm saying?
And someone else that doesn't want BTS - doesn't want their BTS hi touch, you can trade cards
Like maybe you had something that they want, like let's see in New York, maybe they like MAMAMOO more than BTS
I mean I would like to meet both but, that's not gonna happen
Um like, they can, you can trade your MAMAMOO card for their BTS card and both of y'all gonna be happy
So ask around for those cards, for your hi touch cards, or those panel cards, or whatever and let's make each other happy
So remember when you get your cards and you didn't get what you want, just ask around
People are going to be trading, I saw people actually reselling so if you are willing to spend money, mm
Spend your money, get your happiness, girl - or boy- borl? Whatever
Or Pokemon
Check your KCON schedule
They're definitely gonna give out like pamphlets of your schedule, what's happening through KCON so check your schedule and time for when your favorite panels
or your favorite activities are going on so you can like do as much as you can, you know what I'm saying?
Check the time the schedule and check and go to each panel that says 'JREKML', okay? Any of them that say JRE- just, just come, come see me...
Don't panic!
Now there's many things to do, all you gotta do is relax, set a destination, and go to that one, and then after that one, you relax, set a destination, and go to that one
Don't just have a panic mode where you just drop because I've seen some people that just drop down there and I'm like, what happened to her?
She didn't know what to do, so she just you know, panic attack
Like girl, like I literally went like yo, you want to go to that, to that room right there, mhm
Cause being panicked doesn't really solve that much, unless you're like paranoid and panicked in a horror film
Then that might solve something, maybe, I don't know, maybe not, you'll probably be dead in a horror film
What are we talking about again? Oh, KCON.
Stay hydrated, yes I said it again
Stay hydrated. Just drink your fluids - not just any fluids, cause you don't wanna be drunk.
I don't think they even sell alcohol there cause it's a kid friendly place, a family friendly place
so drink your boba teas, drink your slushees, drink your water, drink your coke, your soda, your pop
Your lemonade, I don't know why I thought of Beyonce when I heard lemonade
Woo
Please stay hydrated, cause I made that mistake and I regretted it, really JRE, really you- Wow
And I regret not drinking enough water because after that whole fiasco of KCON, I was hella sick, so stay hydrated
You be thirsty
Mm, thirsty fishes
Here's a tip that I learned from my past experiences
Bring a good pair of clothes, like because sometimes like especially in New York, it's gonna get hot
You gonna get sweaty, you don't want to be sweaty all day unless you about that life, but I wasn't because
...eHh... You know like you get sweaty and you're all wet and you go to the convention where the wind is blowing
Then you get sick and then no, that's a nono, that's a nono, literally
And plus you gotta look presentable to your bias if you ever get to meet them
You don't wanna be a sweaty mess, right?
Major key, alert, bring perfume or deodorant
Now don't overdo it with the perfume, just bring deodorant
because some people might be smelling a little bit funky up in this piece, you know what I'm saying?
You just want to smell extra nice around people, you don't want that B.O., you know what I'm say-
Nah some people don't know that they have B.O. cause they're so used to their smell
But you know that happens, people smell
That's why I carry my Axe or my deodorant
I remember one time, Kenny forgot to put deodorant and I got him though
Nobody wants a smelly person
Again, remember to eat something because- we, look I understand, you're excited, you want to meet your favorite artists
You want to do all the things and you know, like meet JRE at a panel, right? No? Okay, forget JRE
F him, he stupid anyways
Like I said, our mind goes everywhere and we forget to do some things, sometimes we forget to pee
Because someone peed themselves one time I think
I think they were just excited though, but you know, it's all good. Wait, that didn't happen
Make new friends, it's easy to make new friends
Now we might be an awkward person, like I am
I'm pretty awkward, like I said if you see me in public
And I'm pretty like reserved to myself and quiet or shy
I am pretty shy in front of people, but I usually get comfortable after a while and then I get excited
And I do my thing and I just feel excited, I don't know
Cause I like meeting new people, but I do get shy, I don't know how to approach things sometimes
But it's good to meet new people
Now how do you meet new people? Go to uh an activity, a panel that you guys can like
Yo I like GOT7, you like GOT7, we both like Jackson, we're gonna fight
No, don't fight. Y'all like GOT7, what, what is this? I don't know what this is
But if you're already going there with friends, you never know, you might meet a new person, be like, oh he fine
Or oh, she fine like what's good, can I get a number though
I can't do that, I'm already taken
If you have time, go shopping, there's gonna be a place where you can go shop around and everything
You know, get your merch, get the things you always wanted, there's some more than- there's anime stuff,
There's comic book stuff, it's like an actual convention
I think LA's doing it right now, finally, but
You know it just takes time man, just takes time
Or just do a fun activity. They always have fun activities around at KCON, so you won't be bored
COUGH. KCON should sponsor my ass, but COUGH
What you saying COUGH KCON COUGH would sponsor your ass COUGH I gotta cough COUGH
KCON COUGH You should sponsor me, what
No you shouldn't, what I didn't say that
Expect some time changes, like if you- There's like a hand hi touch, they might switch the times because
You know sometimes the artist is not ready or you know, things happen so expect some time changes in the scheduling
So yeah what's good KCON, last year I didn't get to do all my hi touches because your time schedule changes
And I had to do a panel but it's all good cause I still had fun but I just didn't meet Zion.T
I wanted to meet Zion.T and Crush and now they're not together, WHY
I blame you KCON
What's good KCON, what's good
The best tip ever, if you see me at KCON or anywhere
Say wuzz good JRE! Just scream it, yo What's good JRE? I'll turn around, ayo what's good?
You know what I'm saying?
We can have an awkward conversation, it's all good
We can just do like you know, you shake my hand and I give a fist bump and then you try to do a fist bump
I try to shake your hand and I went like this
I kinda do this kind of thing and it's kind of weird
And I'll be like, Aha! And you'll go like Haha!
But yeah, if you do see me, don't be afraid to say, What's good JRE? And I'll be like what's good?
Now I talked about the conventions of KCON, but them concerts though
What about them concerts though JRE?
You won't survive them, trust me Daddy
You won't survive them
Your faves will slay for what you paid, I'm just saying because the KCON concerts
Yo faves will slay for what you pay
I'm just saying, whatever you pay, they will slay
If you got the good seats, you gonna get them good views
You get them back seats, you can see that whole overview right there
You get the --, you get the bird eye view
But they will slay, cause I see when BTS first came to KCON, I was a- Woah my camera just turned, what?
KCON gave me those bird eye view seats, I'm just saying I mean they gave it to me so I gotta be thankful
Anyways, I got the bird eye view seats and I'm sitting next to these two gentlemens behind me drinking beer
And I'm like, you, y'all kpop fans? No you're not
But they slayed. I appreciated BTS from that bird's eye view cause I saw the formation
They working in formation
But like I said, you about to get slayed, slaaaaaaayed
Hopefully they do slay you, I'm just saying because you know you paid good amount of money just to see your faves, you know what I'm saying?
Also, stay hydrated. I'm being serious. Seriously, just stay hydrated because it's a thing
Even if you're inside and outside and you're not thirsty, stay hydrated because
I don't want you feeling like shit afterwards, like after the whole convention is done
Because I think the first time I went, I felt like sh-
I got the worst, I was like the worst in the worst sickness
Cause you know, I was all sweaty, I didn't drink, I didn't eat that much and when I went to the concert, it got all like
You know, like the wind was going on the wet clothes and of course, I got sick and I had the worst, the worst feeling ever
So stay healthy, stay hydrated, eat and bring a pair of clothes, that's my tip
Or you know you can either just drink because you know, you thirsty, y'all thirsty fishes, I'm just saying
You know
Me too, me too, I can't deny it, I'm a thirsty ass mofo
You know I'm just looking out for y'all, you know
I think it's a good video finally made because I have experienced KCON enough and like this is my routine.
Like you know, I'm just looking out for y'all
And that's basically mostly what I wanted to talk about, I don't know if I'm missing anything
I mean you could put the comments down below
If you experienced KCON, oh expect long lines
Hopefully they fix that, but expect long lines
I'm sounding like a freaking KCON sponsor, but I'm not
Nah, but KCON if you want to sponsor me, I'm just saying
