2024 PARK EUNBIN FAN CONCERT 〈EUNBIN note : DIVA〉 QnA
Hello everyone, it's EUNBIN
If you are watching this video
It means you bought my 〈EUNBIN note : DIVA〉 Blu-ray
First of all, I’d like to thank you for purchasing my Blu-ray
Thanks a lot
Q. How do you feel about ending your first fan concert successfully?
Including rehearsal, it's been 3 days
And now that it’s over
To be honest, I wasn’t feeling so well
My throat felt a little sore
It was too slight to say I was sick but anyway
I felt like I wouldn’t be able to make it to the stage and sing well
So I was thinking like, 'what should I do...' and it made me nervous
I think it was the nerves
My throat.. But let me go for it
'Dream Us' is extremely hard, I feel like my throat has gone bad already
Let me take some breaks in between
But you know what? I woke up so fresh in the morning after that
And I realized that without knowing
I was feeling stressed and nervous
So I got worried a lot but what a relief
I was so glad the concert went well
I prepared this to have a special moment
But the sheer amount of BINGOs, LATTEs, and fans of Castaway Diva that showed up
To fill the seats
It has been a dreamlike, mind blowing 2 days
I'm proud of myself for pulling through
And very grateful to all of you
I feel way better now
And have returned to my daily life
Q. What's was your most memorable moment during the concert?
I personally had a moment of dizziness
On day 2, when they told me I couldn’t hear from the in-ear device
I felt literal chills
What I remember is
I sang 'Until The End' and 'Here I am' on the sub-stage
I sang them, but
I was highly focused on singing and was about to start when
Starting "with a tiny bag on", and all of a sudden, I couldn’t hear anything from this in-ear
I heard some noises at first and then it was completely gone
And from then on it felt like I was underwater
Since the device was custom made, it had really good sound insulation
So the MR and sound felt so far away from me
And I could not monitor my voice via in-ear
My voice just muted
What’s more, I was playing a guitar
So I thought what should I do, do I just ditch the guitar
And try to figure this thing out
But there was no time
So I thought, “what’s going on, what am I doing right now,” but fortunately
When I went to backstage for a bit
The staff reassured me that they didn’t even realize there was something going on
It was definitely a big concern from my side even thought it ended up alright
I felt very agitated
I wanted to do well, but I knew I wasn’t doing so, but
when I checked the video later
It wasn’t as noticeable as I thought it’d be
At least from the outside, right?
Right, nobody could see it
The most memorable moment for me was
when I sang 'Until the End'
As well as many other good memories, but
I’ll save them for the next questions
Q. What’s your self-care routine to manage stress?
Generally
I try not to be too superstitious or too strict in following specific routines
Because I want to feel liberated from such responsibilities, so
I don’t have any routines in particular, but
It used to be “eat well and sing well,” but
I couldn’t bring myself to eat
Then, I tried eating less, and with regards to my voice
I felt like I should avoid over-working it too much, so
I tried to not use my voice as much as possible
Then, I gradually got comfortable being on stage
And felt better and better
After reminding myself it’s perfectly fine to be this way
I woke up next day with the best feeling
It was awesome
My director gave me a compliment saying that I’m a gifted singer, so
I’d love to enjoy being on stage more in the future
Anyways, there’s no specific routine that I follow
To calm myself down before going on stage
But, whenever I have big events coming up
I just tell myself, “whatever”
I truly believe that I can work on my flaws and mistakes
As long as I concentrate on my work
I just remind myself, “whatever, let’s do this”
So, that’s what I do
It’s great that I ended everything well, I’m happy
Was this airing separately now?
Did I sing well? Wait a second
Yeah? I guess I was doing it right
Then, I will do a bow like I did in the drama, like this and this
Starting from this side, and that’ll be it
Q. What were your BEST 3 favorite performances?
I have so many regrets about this
I was hung twice behind this LED thing
I was 3.5 meters above the ground when I sang, 'Dream Us' and 'Voyage'
I could see the audience through the LED
Only I saw them, since it was just me on the stage
It looked so beautiful
When I looked at the lightsticks controlled between the LED panels
Although it's just me up here I wished I had my phone
It was such a pity I couldn't capture the moment
When I saw the video taken from behind later
I felt relieved that at least the pretty lights were captured
But the scene visible only from that stage to me alone
Exists only in my memory because of that
It’s such a shame I can't share that with you
That's how beautiful you all were
The best part was when I came back after singing 'Fly Away'
I had to quickly change my outfit in just four minutes
Hearing your collective singing of 'Someday'
Although I couldn't watch that performance from the stage
It was really great, they sing really well
Hearing others sing my song that publicly
was a first for me, so it sounded very moving
So that was my favorite stage
Secondly the second day's 'Fly Away' performance was quite overwhelming
After feeling a surge of emotion
Fortunately it was dark so I could take care of my tears
And when I was greeting my fans, my emotions at that moment
felt so precious and I think they will stay with me for a long time
At the time of filming everything was shot against a chromakey background
While filming I roughly imagined how it would feel
Those beautiful lights
Made me realize this is real
It was a moment that was overwhelming and moving for me
And not just that
I had layers of emotions from the start of "Castaway Diva"
It felt like putting a final period to those emotions because they passed by so quickly
So I think that brought up my emotions even more
I worked hard and did my best and finally this moment came
It felt like a stage where I had these feelings
'Fly Away' remains strong in my memory
What should I pick for the TOP 3
You see, I performed 14 songs
And since I did the whole thing twice
It resulted in 28 stages
It's too hard to pick just the TOP 3 of them
Could I hear your opinions perhaps?
Which performance did you like?
The dance! 'Witches', and you, please?
My top pick for dance is 'Witches', and for the opening, 'Dream Us'
I did some research about this
'Into the light' and 'Witches'
But my feelings at that time
When I had just made a round of the Olympic Park with 'Mint'
There was no time to rest
There was no MC, no guests
I even felt sorry when I took time to drink water
I hardly had time to breathe so I kind of wanted to take a break for a moment
My legs were actually shaking while dancing
I think doing concerts can really increase my stamina
It took away my energy and increased my stamina at the same time
I liked 'Witches' and 'Dream Us' as well
They put a lot of effort into the concert stage set-up
so EUNBIN signs were everywhere
I was very touched since they didn’t miss a single detail
So I’d say the performances were all good
Q. Did you prepare anything special for your fans during the concert?
I.. specially made my own custom microphone
I said I wanted to make one and I got my own
And I also made an PARK EUNBIN album, "Present"
Along with that, so far, my only stage 'Into The Light'
They also choreographed a dance for my solo performance, ‘Witches’
That was made solely for me
So I think it’s what I prepared for my fans as a special event
Soeun, a member of HolyBang, thought just about me
I mean she watched the cover dances I choreographed at my fan meeting before
She said I had nice hand gestures
So that’s why she made these kind of moves
Well, but the lights were out when I was doing this
So you might have missed them
However, thankfully, the Blu-ray team have filmed an additional video
If I had only had the stage video, it would have been a bummer
Fortunately, there is the additional video for you
We had to put a lot of thoughts into it so it could contain everything
We tried to figure out what BINGO would like
I was like.. also even something was unexpected, I would give it to you
I tried to prepare what I can show them as much as possible
Not like I expected, there wasn’t enough time for me to practice dancing
So to master all those dances in 3 times
I tried my best to prepare and review thoroughly throughout the day
So until the full rehearsal, I had a chance to practice 6 times
I mean 6 times for 2 hours.. thinking again, it really was not enough
But I practiced at least 2 times harder at home
So thankfully, I got to perform the dances and the stage that you might like
I hope it stays in your memory
So it’s only going to be the sixth practice next Wednesday
You’re going to get used to it after a few more tries
Alright, emptying my mind, 'Who am I?'
Isn’t it way better than yesterday?
Then tomorrow is going to be better than today, right?
And it makes next week better than this week
I am sure of that, of course
We actually created a new version of ‘Into The Light’
Mull, a member of HolyBang, choreographed a merciless dance
You know I did ‘Witches’ with Hyojin when I was filming the drama
I had learned that much more precisely
So how long had we learned? A month? or two?
And I saw the edited video
That was edited after shooting many times
But you danced very precisely
So I thought, I should've danced more like her
Anyway I will make up for that with this show
Hi, there's just a week left
I have just a week until January 1st
I'll practice dancing till the end
To show you my perfect dance without any mistakes, I'll do my best
Q. What was your favorite outfit during your fan concert?
It was the last dress I wore on the second day
The color looked good on me
Also it looked prettier on the stage
So I like the dress the most
Also, because of how I felt when singing 'Fly Away'
I can remember the moment like a picture
So I'll pick that dress as my favorite
What do you think?
I'm curious, I'm just curious about your opinions
I liked the bingo pink the most
Bingo pink? The first outfit?
I liked the first one as the color looked good on you
And you? I'll ask opinions to all of you
The dress on the first day was pretty
The first day
I liked pink
You're right, I liked the pink one too
When I saw the pink one, I thought it was bingo pink
I liked the color a lot
Anyway my stylist team worked very hard
So I'll pick the bingo pink outfit as my second favorite
Q. What does "singing" mean to actress "PARK EUNBIN"?
To be honest
I don't think I am a good singer
Thanks to the times spent with Mokha in 2023
I feel like I’ve become more comfortable with singing
Which was something I really wanted to do well but felt like I couldn’t
I had time to practice singing
Even if I go back to the past
There were moments where I thought I couldn't get any better than this
I released what I wanted a lot
I think I feel free
So singing means feeling free to PARK EUNBIN
This was that kind of experience to me
I hadn't thought I was confident when singing
I was given the opportunity to sing my heart out
So I’m very grateful
And to the audience listening to my singing
I’d like to say thank you
Now that I have my own songs
I think I can sing them happily forever, cherishing them
I’ve never heard my songs outside, like on the streets
My mom and dad told me they went some place and my song was being played there
Also, my friends sent me some texts
It’s surprising that my song is being played somewhere else in this world
I’m surprised and happy everytime someone says that to me
Please keep them on your playlists for a long time
Q. What did you feel while preparing for the fan concert?
I made the mistake of thinking I said this at the season's greetings during the concert
But my company Namooactors corrected it afterward
In the 1st BINGO kit, I was asked, "What do you want to do with your fans?"
I answered "mini concert"
Actually, when I wrote that
I already had some big plans
So I made many if’s like, 'If Castaway Diva ends’
And I was planning on carrying them out one by one
In the concert, I wanted to spend some quality time together
And I think we made it happen
So I’m so relieved
So many people helped me in the process
And I believed in my BINGOS, that you would respond to that effort
That’s why I could push ahead without fear, I was so lucky
At first, I was worried about doing only the first round
Thanks to the enthusiastic support you showed in the beginning,
We were able to fill up the whole weekend with the second round
And I got to spend more time with BINGO
I’m so happy for that
As for my personal satisfaction
Throwing a concert was a lot to ask for
But thanks to you, I was able to spend such a good time
The main point of this concert was
Since I spent a good year living as Mokha
I wanted to show her to you, and then let her go
I remember saying it at the concert
It was a concert of PARK EUNBIN, by PARK EUNBIN, for BINGO
In addition to that, LATTEs and fans of "Castaway Diva" drama
I've achieved the goal of
Fully feeling and preserving Mokha
Did you feel it as well? I hope you had a good time
Q. Any last word to your beloved BINGOs?
I had no particular plans after the concert
So I was able to read the letters quickly
Lots of stories were piled up in the meantime
I needed time to catch my breath while reading the letter
Because, some of them came from far away
But there were some people who had come from very far away
I mean, some of them were sick
They came here to see me, to freshen up their minds
Also, there were people who came after getting permission
Many stories, and so on, were written in EUNBIN's notebook
I was just so thankful beyond words
Come to think of it, the memorable performances stayed with me as I monitored later on
I paused everything to watch whenever the fans appeared
So, when I saw them, I was like, 'Oh, it's them,' the ones who came to my first fan meeting
Familiar faces scattered throughout
I’m not too bad at recognizing faces, so
I really tried my best back then to greet as many people as possible
Actually, there were many times when it was the foot of the candle that is darkest
But then, I realized that there were indeed times when they loudly sang along to my song 'Mint'
Middle-aged men, children, and people of all ages, I'm truly grateful
I later found out that there were also cases where whole families came together, as I read in the letters
Thinking of it again, I still feel very touched
It's true, overseas fans often send a lot of messages
Latin America, Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Peru
They send their love from all around
But I didn't expect them to come this time, so it was really nice to see them
I'm so grateful for coming
I really wanted to do a band live performance, if it were up to me
It would have been much better as a band live performance
I also like heart-pounding bounces
So, just as I like 'Do-re-mi-fa'
I thought it would have been great to do it with a band
But my preparation period was at the end of the year
So, it was difficult to form a band team
And there was no time to practice either
Plus, there wasn't even a suitable space for practice, and so on
For various reasons, a band live performance wasn't possible
Now I have a new dream, when the opportunity arises again someday
But anyway, with the 14-song setlist I showed this time
Since this could be my first and last time
I made it clear not to miss it
So, this Blu-ray is something I cherish and want to keep
And since the songs were all tailored to fit the narrative of Mokha
Even though there were variations, the Blu-ray playlist you now own
This is the only one I'll make, so the rarity of what you have will increase
So, I hope you treasure it dearly
Also, the love for my character means a lot to me
Thanks to the BINGOs, this opportunity became a truly beautiful moment, a beautiful day
It feels like I'll always remember January 6th and 7th like this
And here, with this Blu-ray, it's like preserving it in a solid form
I'll make sure to cherish and keep it safe as well
Please remember me and Mokha
Please continue to follow and support me
Thank you, thank you, BINGOs
Bye
