I’ve had my Fisheye No. 2 camera for awhile now but this is the first time I’m going to post a shot I took from it. It’s not really a good one but I want to share because of the story behind the photo.

Yoon Ji Hoo in Lomo

This is Yoon Ji Hoo, a character played by Kim Hyun Joong (김현중) in the Korean drama Boys Over Flowers (꽃보다 남자). So, what’s the story behind this? Boys Over Flowers is the one which started it all… my Korean craze and my love for SS501 (Hyun Joong’s singing group).

Last February, I went to Batangas with my aunt and uncle again. I was missing the boys (SS501) and I was thinking I should get my SS501 fix no matter what. One day, my cousin, uncle and I went to the market. I saw this tiny barbershop (a kiosk) in the middle of the market. And what really caught my attention were the Boys Over Flowers posters posted all over the shop. I didn’t have my camera with me then so I thought I’d go back there just to take a picture. I did go back the next day but the shop was closed. Since it was just a kiosk, it was covered with heavy cloth. So, I lifted the cloth and sneaked my head through one of the windows and took this shot. It was really embarrassing because the people from the other shops might have thought that I was a burglar or something. Haha!

I was thinking of going back again to ask if I can buy the poster but it never opened again that day and I had to leave for Manila the next day. Sigh. Hopefully, it’ll still be there when I go back there next year, maybe.
