AS you all have known, I met a S. Korean couple who is from DC this summer. I told them about my Love for their Hallyu wave, and unexpectedly they promised to send BigBang stuff to me. As true honors of their words, they did. They sent me a BigShow 2011 Live Concert DVD and Photobook.
When all of that is great, it's their emails that have touched me. I would like to share it here, because it has moved me in ways I cannot explain.
Here are a few phrases from our email conversations:
"Hi, May,Do you still remember us when we traveled Alaska last July? You mentioned about K-pop and your favorite Big-bang group. And I told you I would get you a Big-bang group disk. And then you gave me your email address. Recently I had a business trip to Korea and had a change to buy a Big-bang group’s live convert DVD disks for you. I came back in town in Washington DC. However, I am not sure your address to which I can ship the DVD disks. Of course, no charge. Let me know your address if you are still interested in them."
"i there, I sent you the disks yesterday through the US postal service. The delivery confirmation number is 0310 xxx-xx-xxx. It will take a couple of more days until you receive it. If you do not receive it or there is a delivery problem, let me know. This delivery and disks are insured. Hoping that you enjoy them, and also hoping that you be a good people to do a lot of good things to other people as other good peoples do. I think that your parents also want you to be a good person in your life. This is all we want. Have a good one."
Here is a clip of my reply:
Hi!!
Thank you! I will be looking out for it-- Again, thank you very very much for thinking of me, and even remembering when you didn't really have to! I still plan on visiting S Korea within the next couple of years, and if I do i'll be sure to let you know!
I see your address on your email signature, is it ok to send a holiday card to that address?
I told my Kpop friends about you two, and they are happy for me. They also want to thank you as well! Hope you have a great holiday season and ill be sure to keep in touch. Thank you for your advice, i will keep it to heart.

And this one, i love to share to my fellow VIPS because you are indirectly mentioned here:
"Hi, Ronamay, I am happy to hear from you about how much you like. When you or your family have a trip plan to visit S Korea or this Washington DC area in the future, let me know. I might be able to help you for your trip. Please remember that good people and bad people are always out there, anywhere, any country. S Korea is not an exception. But, most S Koreans are more sentimental, emotional, and warm-heart feeling than other country. Hoping you can meet good and warm-heart and lovely people when you visit S Korea. Also when you meet bad people, please forgive them, and then they must feel your forgiveness and will be changed to a good people. But, this is not all about your life. What is more important thing is that you have your favorite and lovely ones in your life and also you have a lot more to enjoy with other good people including your favorite Big-bang group. Enjoy every moment of your life whenever good things happen to the people who you like, and share your joyful moments with your people. I think this is the life we live. You have a happy holiday, too."
I hope this email touches your hearts as well.
It really pays to show genuine care to people you meet--let's strive to make this a part of our daily lives.
With love,
RonaMay
