Disamperin aliran di Korea

Salah satu pengalaman yang gw dapatkan selama trip sebulan lamanya di Korea selama musim gugur ini adalah disamperin cult atau aliran tertentu. Jadi memang di Korea itu seperti jadi surga buat aliran-aliran agama baru tumbuh, mungkin udah pada pernah juga nonton dokumenter salah satu aliran gereja di Korea yang lumayan terkenal sesatnya. Gw gak tau kenapa pastinya banyak aliran-aliran baru atau aliran sesat muncul di Korea, ada beberapa hipotesis tapi ya masih hasil pemikiran gw aja. Dari jaman dulu sampe sekarang kayak masih gak berubah aja. Sebagai catatan, dulu salah satu aliran sesat sempat masuk ke lingkungan kampus tempat gw pertukaran pelajar di Korea. Di situ mereka emang nargetin mahasiswa asing. Modusnya adalah sebagai mahasiswa asing kita diajak volunteer, ada kelas bahasa, ada kunjungan ke panti jompo, dll. Nanti selama kegiatan itu kita akan pakai atribut tertentu, dan mengucapkan yel-yel terselubung yang dianggap bagian dari dokumentasi saja. Hasil dokumentasi berupa foto...

Let the mystery be a mystery

I was listening to the radio that I listen to every night, and this song came out. So I just get reminded of this story from 2012.

So 8 years ago when this song came out, I really really like it, and at that time, Beast was my favorite boy group and I especially love Yoseob's voice. So when the company announced a duet singing competition and they will give a lunch together with the singer as the prize for the winner, I was ecstatic. Because luckily, I was staying in Korea at that time as an exchange student. 

I was so excited, but I can't really sing and the high notes in the song are just kicking through the roof, so high. But I was determined. That was a chance that could make my stay in Korea more fun. Definitely, I thought. 

So I guessed I was up for the challenge, and just start practicing my singing so diligently. I memorized all the lyrics, fixed my pronunciation and just overall tried my best.  

But the deadline was near, so I recorded myself at night after class, and I had so many takes to perfect the singing. I wasn't fluent in combining audio files, adjust the timing, and everything, so I tried my best to sing it perfectly at one take, which was not possible. So I sang a few times till I realized I will rip my vocal nodules if I continue singing. So I finished it, and go to sleep after that.

The next day, my friend came to my room and said,

"Did you hear last night? there was a ghost I think, there was a sound of a woman crying and screaming, (name) heard it as well!" with a worried look on her face.

My roommate looked at my dead face while holding her laugh.

and I was like đŸ˜‘

Me and my roommate just laugh in silence.

And I think I haven't told her until now. 

Let the mystery be a mystery. đŸ’†
