The much awaited Park Bo Gum ( that superduperhandsome S.Korean K-drama actor) Fan Meet slated on April 27, 2019 at the Mall of Asia, is postponed. The safety of the artist, staff and probable audience were taken into consideration due to the recent earthquake that has been hitting parts of the Philippines, greater Manila, included. Thus, Park Bo Gum's May Your Everyday Be a Good Day Fan Meet has been postponed to June 22, 2019. Well, at least, it's in the same year.

Anyway, there's this Park Bo Gum Fan Page in FB that has a link for submitting letters for Mr Park. The post indicated that Bogummy prefers to receive letters rather than gifts from his fans.
So! Heck! I wrote one and submitted it online. I'm not really sure if my letter will reach Mr. Park but just in case it does not, I will post it here and hope against hope that sometime in the next 25 years, when Park Bo Gum is in his 50s and he has nothing better to do on a freakishly cold Seoul winter night, he'll type in and search for Dear Park Bo Gum, and this page will hopefully still exist, and on the list of searched links. My letter goes like this..,

April 19, 2019
Dear Park Bo Gum,
Annyeonghaseyo!
Though I will be at the Fan Meet on April 27, I doubt if I
will get the chance to have a close-up look of your beautifully-chiseled face,
much less shake your hand. So, for the first time in my life, I will be “fangirling”
by writing you a letter.
The Hallyu craze started sometime in the late 1990s, but it
was only in February 2019 that I got to watch my very first K-drama, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim. I was fascinated with Park Seo Joon! I told my
close friend about this and she excitedly told me to watch Encounter. I asked if the lead was also Seo Joon, but she said it’s
another Park, a Park Bo Gum. Since the only K-drama male star that I know
of was Seo Joon, I said “Okay, I’ll watch Encounter”.
White top and denim pants are staples for me so when I saw
you dressed in such attire in the series’ first scene, you had my attention! I was not truly a K-drama convert then so I
was trying look for flaws with the series. However, the more discriminating I
was, the more I realized that you are a great actor who is able to show a wide
range of emotions with minute facial expressions! With your arresting looks and good acting, I was hooked! I finished Encounter in 2 nights straight, and was
advised by my friend, again, to watch Love
in the Moonlight.
Choha! Saranghaeyo! You portrayed the role of short-tempered, intelligent,sensitive, passionate, playful, compassionate and faithful crown prince
excellently! I became a certified Park Bo Gum fan! Even more so when I read up about you and
learned that you are a music major who plays the piano, sings, and dances. You are
a very talented, very popular, yet still a very unassuming and humble person!
As a true fangirl, I started downloading
piano scores of Love in the Moonlight
OST, of which my favorites are My Dearest,
Because and the Moonlight Flows. My iPod and iPhone’s playlist include a PBG playlist.
My Dearest is my favorite among all your
songs (so far). That song brings out the best of your wonderful, mellow baritone
voice. You have a rich voice timbre; your vibrato is soft and solid; your
falsetto is very pleasant to hear as transition between chest tone and falsetto
is flawless! I de-stress myself and sometimes
lull myself to sleep, listening to your version of My Dearest. iTunes indicated
I have played the song 89*times. Geurae, I can now sing it in
Korean! 😊
I loved Reply 1988! Such a down-to-earth
coming-of-age series. Team Taek! Never doubted it!I have yet to watch other series where you play second lead.
The Manila Fan Meet is the very first one that I will go to. My children will probably have a fit if they
learn their mom bought a VIP ticket to see her K-drama star. What can I say? Oh well…life is
too short! Keribels!
I do hope that you will really read my letter. It would be
great if you will, in spite of your very busy schedule, be able to drop me a
line. I have a blog and is planning to do a series of articles about you!
I will pray that you reap more success in your career and personal
life. I hope to see you when I go to Seoul early next year! Take care always!
