I know it was a long time ago. But the story is worth telling, because we all miss Jeong Hoon's Frank so much, right? ^^
Jeong Hoon's final performance of "Catch me if you can" was on Friday 2012.06.01
I knew it would be a very special show, so I decided to come, despite my conflicted schedule.
The musical ticket was almost sold out, that's why I could only find a seat rather far from the stage.
But, lucky me, when I approached my seat, I saw a red mark on the floor, painted next to my place.
It was the spot Frank would stand by !!
Korean fans had prepared blue handkerchiefs with a message on it:
"Please shake the handkerchief when JH Frank sings the 'Goodbye' song."
They gave one to each of the audience. Korean fans of Jeong Hoon are very thoughtful.
I also got a Frank badge from them as a gift, which is sooooooo cute:
The hall was full of Jeong Hoon's fans, and some actors/actresses as well.
At 8 pm, all light go out, the show started.
I won't describe the musical because its splendor is beyond words.
You have to watch it with your own eyes, and ears, and heart.
Here are just some small videos that I recorded, not on that day though:
(Why hadn't I met some guy like that on my high school days?
I guess I'd been too busy pondering over my maths lessons back then T_T )
But the audience crowd was so special that day.
We fans wanted to join Frank's adventures, for one final time.
We cheered and clapped a lot during the performance.
Each time Frank asked something, we all replied "Yeah" loudly.
Jeong Hoon felt our enthusiasm too, he was very excited on stage.
It was one of the moments when I strongly felt the connection between Jeong Hoon and fans ~~
The hall became hot, literally and figuratively.
Jeong Hoon was sweating. I wished I could wipe his face with my blue handkerchief.
But that was Frank Senior sir who did it, wiping his son's face :D
On Christmas night, Frank phoned Carl in his police station and ran away.
Then he stopped right next to my seat !!
Frank looked at the stage and waved to Carl teasingly.
I looked upon Jeong Hoon's back. He stood so close to me.
I could see sweat drops on his neck.
If only I could hug his back~~~~
But I didn't do anything. Frank ran away, and the show continued.
Jeong Hoon and other actors had many ad-lib that day, scenes became more and more interesting.
All of the cast enjoyed the show and were inspired.
When it came to the "Goodbye" scene, all of us pulled out our Frank handkerchief and shook it !
Farewell dear Frank~~
The hall turned into a blue waving sea. Jeong Hoon was so touched he cried during the song.
After the musical finished, Jeong Hoon showed up backstage to greet fans.
The best point is, he had just taken a shower :D
He looked like a new rose after spring rain, fresh and beautiful.
He thanked fans for coming from all over the world to see him.
He asked us: was the show really great?
We yelled "Yeah!" in response.
It created a roar.
Jeong Hoon jokingly scolded us: hey, it's too loud, guys !
But I know he liked it ^^
Jeong Hoon made a heart figure over his head and said "Sarang hamnida" to fans.
He entered his car and went away,
brought along with him a glorious moment of Korea's Frank William Abagnale Junior ~
