Mnet M!Countdown


For people who knows me awhile now, knows that I am pretty much a fan of SHINee (not to the point of big though, cos i would never have the heart to buy their merchandises). 
So for their comeback and out of my pretty busy schedule of eating & sleeping, I took time out to go for their pre-recording at Mnet M!Countdown.

Different Fanclub have different requirements, some groups perform during the live performance and some have pre-recording, you have to check with the fancafe/fansite to know all this. For SMent fanclub, the informations are posted on the respective fanclub's notice board.

I went on 14 November and there was 3 queues. One for the Live Recording, one for BTS (i keep calling them Bangtan boys -.-) and another for SHINee. 

For the Live Recording,
People first in line usually do the queueing, they will ask you for informations like name and number. So they will note it down and that people dont cut the queue.

For the Shawols.
The requirements for SHINee one is quite simple, first and foremost, you have to have the SHINee's latest CD. Then you have to find a notice (notice usually comes up the night before) like this.

please do not judge me.... ><
Take a photo with it, send it to the number along with your name and phone number.
They will usually reply with 5 mins or so with a queue number. For example if they only allow 100 people in and you are 98, they will reply you telling you, that you are 98. 

The time in the notice, 6:20am is the time for roll call. So at 6:20am, they will do a roll call, make sure you are here and write your number on your wrist for you (numbers usually go up as people misses rollcall).

So for eg, you came last night on 11/13 when the notice was up and sent a photo and you are fan number 94 out of 100. Come back again on 11/14 at 6.20am during roll call and your number might go up to 80 or so.

Then you are separated into 2 queues. One for the official fanclub members and one for the non official ones. Official members have priority, even if they come late, they still have priority over the non official members. Which means even if you went up in number, you could be bump off by an official member.

You will be led into the building to wait. Phones, bags and any recording devices are strictly not allowed. Bags will be placed outside while you are led into the recording studio. Recording takes about 5 minutes and then you will be led out again. Collect your bag and you are dismissed.

Fortunately for me, I went for the goodbye stage, so i got to see 2 rounds of recording, one recording was at 8am and another was at 11am. So after first dismissal after the 8am recording, I had to go back for rollcall at 11am for another recording. You have to get back to your line following the number on your wrist. And sometimes non fans without CD will also be allowed to join the queue at the back.
