1, 2, 3, 4... 5!!
yay! it's in today's (wed) korean media that wuri yong joon's travel books have sold out!in fact, it's been reported that just the advance reservations alone had already 'forced' the book into fourth print! seems like keyeast can't cope with the demand and is now madly rushing the fifth print run!
yea, am talking about the original korean version. soooooooooo.... happy!
if i were in korea now, i would go visit kyobo or something and check out the bestsellers list! surely they too have those bestsellers display, ya? would be so greeeeeeeeat to see his book being displayed proudly... lovely, lovely news!
sorry, i've no idea how many copies have been sold, hopefully we can have an answer to this soon!
meanwhile, over in japan, they've already started taking reservations, but customers/fans are limited to just one copy. and, they're only getting their books sometime in mid october.
(random thought... me wondering if the japanese version would have seen the western/eastern pagado mistake being rectified in time....)
meanwhile, sharing pics that long-time korean fan, style, has taken from the presscon yesterday. for as long as i've been a fan, style has been present in practically all key events and she's been snapping pics of events, and also of wuri yong joon. over the years, bae fans have come to count on her for pics from a fan's perspective. me glad that style's taken time to take pics of the venue, as it gives layers and context to yesterday's event.
for us fans who weren't able to be there, these pics help us visualize better. me quite like the way they've set up the place.
thanks much much, style!
love this one!
love love this one!!
love love love this one!!!
and i guess someone else loves this pic as much as i do too... could it be wuri yong joon himself? not only was this pic chosen to be one of those displayed at the general area, it was also one of the two key pics selected to go right up there on the stage with the man himself.
oh, why don't they just give away these two posters to us, fans?!! or even postcards will do!
i love these two and that one of him in the white tee, black fab vest and wide pants facing the sea and the sun. oh, give me all three and i'll be a very very very happy fan for three days, hehe!
on the side, since i'd mentioned style earlier, guess you all know that she's from byjgallery.
the byjgallery team has put up a notice pleading with everyone to protect and respect the intellectual property for this book. chinese fan wonchon has done a trans-in-brief of the notice and posted it on baidu.
basically, the byjgallery team is suggesting that everyone who has bought the book NOT to scan the pics and upload onto the internet. let's all come together to protect its IP, and let's not reproduce the contents of the book on the net too.
the people who were present at the media event yesterday had already seen the book. the book is over 400 pages, and is rather thick. it's supposedly and seemingly a book of high taste and quality. it is said that all the pics by wuri yong joon that had been included in the book are all very artistically taken.
the byjgallery team also said that with such substantial contents and quality, the book should be priced at 2-3 times higher than its current price.
yea, i guess they're right. whilst we fans will still support him by buying the book even if we've already seen everything being posted on the internet, but there might be others who are non-fans who might be influenced NOT to buy the book if everything has been posted and revealed on the internet.
at the very least, let's try our very very very best to hold back our itchy fingers from sharing it for a couple of months...? surely that's not too much to ask, ya?
deal?
