Two male fans offered S$800 and S$900 for autographed merchandises from the four-member girl group
It was a tense and exciting moment for fans of Korean girl group Secret, during an auction held at the group's fan meet last night. The winning bidder would walk away with two T-shirts, worn and autographed by the members, and a lomo camera.
Secret, together with labelmates and juniors B.A.P, were in Singapore yesterday for a fan meet at IMM, where they performed their hit songs including 'Magic', 'Madonna', 'Shy Boy', 'Starlight Moonlight' and 'Love is Move'.
Made up of leader Hyosung, Zinger, Jieun and Sunhwa, the four girls appeared really surprised and touched when four pre-selected fans performed the dance from the song 'Madonna'. Secret later identified a winner, and she walked away with an autographed album and poster, while the other three went home with autographed posters.
However, the segment, which had fans really excited, was an auction, held to raise funds for the Association for Persons with Special Needs (ASPN). The bid started at S$100 and quickly escalated to S$500. Just when everyone thought the auction was ending, another fan raised the bid by S$50. In the end, two male fans made a donation of S$800 and S$900, raising a total of S$1,700.
Prior to the fan meet at night, Secret took time out yesterday morning to meet with the local media. Decked in dresses that showed off their individual personalities, the four girls said that they were bewildered at the large turnout of fans at the airport two days ago.
"The number (of fans) was so much more than what we were expecting," member Jieun said.
With a band name like Secret, it is no wonder that the girls get questions like "what's your biggest secret", "who keeps the most secrets" and "which member cannot keep a secret" all the time.
When these questions were posed again yesterday, Jieun answered, "This is such a difficult question. We've been asked these questions so many times since our debut, because of our group name; so we don't really have any more secrets."
Maknae (youngest member) Sunhwa jokingly quipped, "Should we change our group's name instead?"
During an interview with xinmsn, Secret had no qualms sharing their ideal type of guys and the desire to date. Jieun said, "I don't really consider a person's appearance; what's more important for me, is his character and I would want someone who is really kind and gentle."
"I don't like guys with double eyelids, and he has to be masculine," Zinger quipped.
Sunhwa preferred guys who are manly, and can be "someone I can always lean on", while leader Hyosung's ideal man has to be one, who is responsible for his actions.
"Many people told me that such guys don't exist in this world, but I'm going to try really hard to find one," she added laughingly.
When asked if they would like to date, Hyosung immediately said in English, "Of course! I do!" before explaining in Korean that they cannot do so now because of their career, and so the group would experience dating through singing, acting in music videos, and from the love and support they received from their fans.
