21
So today in this story, well, I have some good news for you.
22
I have a happy story this week.
23
The last story that I posted in bonus episode number 178, I heard the reaction of some listeners who said, Andrew, it was such a sad story.
24
If you haven't heard that story yet, then probably you're going to want to stop here and go back and listen to bonus episode 178 first.
25
And that will set the stage nicely for today's story.
26
But if you did listened to that episode, then okay, you're okay to continue.
27
And in that last episode, I told the story of wanting to go see one of my favorite bands, My Bloody Valentine, play a music festival here in Seoul.
28
But unfortunately, I was unsuccessful when buying the ticket, so I wasn't able to go.
29
However, I've got an update to that story, and that's what I'm going to share with you here today.
30
So to go back in time a little bit, I recorded
31
that episode on a Thursday about how I wasn't able to buy the tickets for the music festival
32
because the tickets had sold out.
33
So that was on a Thursday.
34
And the music festival was on that upcoming weekend, the Saturday and the Sunday.
35
So it was just like a couple of days before the concert.
36
However, after I recorded that episode, I thought, okay, let me check one more time to see if there are any tickets.
37
You know, I had just spent like the last 30 minutes telling you guys the story about failing to buy tickets.
38
So I thought, let me check one more time to see if any tickets had been released.
39
Korean listeners will know this, but often if there is something that's sold out, like transportation that's sold out, a bus or a train or something,
40
If somebody cancels their bus ticket or their train ticket, then you can buy that ticket.
41
So I've done this in the past where I'm wanting to go away for the weekend
42
or something and the bus is sold out or the train is sold out.
43
And I try at first and it's sold out.
44
But then a couple of days later, I try again.
45
And miraculously, there's a ticket available because somebody else had canceled their ticket.
46
So that was in the back of my mind that I should keep trying to buy a ticket.
47
Don't just trust that because it says sold out the first day.
48
that it's going to be sold out forever.
49
So I should keep trying.
50
And up until I recorded that episode, I had tried several times and it was always sold out.
51
But after recording the episode, you know, it was on my mind.
52
So I thought, okay, let's try it one more time.
53
So I opened my app, the ticketing app on the phone, and I tried it.
54
And miraculously, I was able to buy two tickets.
55
So I don't know what happened if they released more tickets or if somebody canceled and there were tickets available.
56
I don't know if it was just good timing, like maybe somebody had canceled and I was there at the right time in the right place.
57
I'm not sure exactly what happened.
58
However, I was able to secure two tickets, one for me, one for my wife to go to this music festival to see one of my favorite bands of all time,
59
My Bloody Valentine.
60
Amazing.
61
As I mentioned in the last episode, the ticket price was only 50,000 won, which I should have looked up the currency conversion,
62
but probably around like 30 to 35 American dollars, like incredibly cheap for a music festival.
63
So I was so stoked.
64
And the cool thing was that usually when you get a ticket like this for a big event, you're counting down the days, right?
65
It's like months away and you're waiting and anticipating the concert.
66
However, because I got these tickets at the very last moment, I only had to wait a day.
67
Like the next day was Friday and then it was festival day.
68
So yeah, I got tickets to go to the festival and I'm going to tell you the festival story here now.
69
We'll continue with my story in just a moment.
70

85
Okay, and now, let's get back to my story.
86
so the festival was a two-day festival i only bought tickets
87
to the saturday the first band started at noon 12 noon
88
and my bloody valentine the band
89
that i really wanted to see they didn't take the stage until 8 45 p.m now there were some acts
90
that i was interested in seeing some kind of smaller, lesser known Korean indie acts,
91
some rappers and some electronic musicians, kind of like pretty underground stuff.
92
However, you know, I'm 42 years old
93
and to go to a music festival in the middle of
94
a Korean summer from noon until almost 11 p.m is just not happening.
95
It's not happening.
96
I don't have that kind of energy.
97
I didn't have the desire that strongly to go and see these smaller, more indie Korean bands play.
98
So I decided, and my wife agreed as well,
99
that we'll go later in the day and just watch some of the headlining acts towards the end of the festival.
100
So I think that was a good call.
101
One thing that we were both concerned about was
102
that this festival took place right at the tail end of the Korean rainy season.
103
And up until that Saturday, it had been rainy that whole week, like just hot, humid, and super rainy.
104
And I won't talk too much about some of the summer weather
105
that we've been having lately because my co-host Anna and I, we just recorded an episode about summer 2026 weather.
106
And we'll share that one with you sometime this week, a little bit later this week.
107
So you can hear all of those stories, the summer stories that Anna and I have to share in that upcoming Chatterbox episode.
108
But July here can be pretty hot, pretty humid, and pretty rainy.
109
And a music festival is not a place where you want to be stuck in the rain.
110
So we were quite worried about that.
111
However, the weather was beautiful.
112
No rain at all, just blue, clear skies.
113
So we had perfect weather.
114
Of course, very hot.
115
But since we went later in the day, it was okay.
116
Now, the festival itself took place at like a hotel resort compound thing that was very,
117
very close to the international airports that services Seoul, but is actually outside of the Seoul city boundary.
118
It's called Incheon International Airport.
119
And so to get there, we had to just take the subway, just like we were going to the airport.
120
In fact, We went to the airport.
121
It takes a little while from our place.
122
We have to take a couple of subways to get there.
123
And it's probably between an hour and a half to two hours to get to the airport, depending on how long we have to wait for the transfers for the subway.
124
So that takes quite a while to get there.
125
Thankfully, we had seats the whole way.
126
I was worried that we'd have to stand on the subway and then stand for the concert.
127
But no, we were able to sit on the subway the whole way there.
128
So that was amazing.
129
And I love going to the airport.
130
I don't know.
131
There's just a certain je ne sais quoi about the airport.
132
Like it's a special place, a unique place, a really multicultural place, right?
133
You see people from all corners of the world coming and going.
134
And I love just going to airports.
135
I've seen reports on the news before.
136
I'm sure this happens in every country, but especially in Korea, I think it almost became an issue in the past
137
that there were a ton of older senior citizens going
138
and just hanging out in the airport because it's kind of fun to see the people coming and going.
139
And there's like air conditioning and good like public washrooms available and stuff like this.
140
So there were a lot of people.
141
I don't know if that's still a trend
142
that older senior citizens in Korea do is go to the airport and hang out or not.
143
But I thought I want to do that when I'm older.
144
When I retire, maybe I'll be one of those people
145
that hangs out in the airport because I just love the vibe around an airport.
146
So I was happy to go to the airport.
147
And yeah, from the airport, we were able to take a shuttle bus to the festival itself.
148
by the time all was said and done
149
and we arrived at the festival grounds it was probably around 6 p.m
150
and yeah because we were
151
so late like the festival had already been going on since lunchtime
152
because we were so late to arrive there were no lines
153
or anything we just went like right up to the ticket booth
154
and got our wristbands they give you a wristband and then you have to get your bag searched, but again, no lines.
155
So that took just like 30 seconds.
156
And then we were into the festival.
157
And by the time we arrived there, we were actually pretty hungry because, well, it was dinner time, first of all.
158
And second of all, we had just been on the subway
159
and in the airport and on the shuttle bus for a couple of hours.
160
So we decided to go to the food truck section and get some food.
161
I guess one minus about showing up late like that is that a lot of the food was sold out already.
162
So there were some things that my wife wanted to eat.
163
She's like, oh, that looks good.
164
That looks good.
165
But they were all sold out.
166
The one thing that I actually wanted to eat was a hot dog because for me growing up in Canada,
167
I equate hot dogs with the summer.
168
A hot dog is a summer food.
169
Maybe you eat it while you're watching a sports game outside, like a baseball game or a summer barbecue or an event like that,
170
like a music festival or some kind of camping or something like that that you do outside.
171
So I was like, oh, I hope they have hot dogs left.
172
Turns out the only thing that they had left that wasn't sold out was hot dogs.
173
So there was a hot dog food truck.
174
We went there and we had a hot dog.
175
My wife was like, this is like the food that I don't want to eat.
176
But for me, I was perfectly happy.
177
So we had a couple of hot dogs and there was a band
178
that was playing that we just weren't that interested in.
179
So it was kind of perfect like this, in my opinion, kind of bad band was playing while we just enjoyed our food and got settled in.
180
Now, this music festival had a pretty unique setup.
181
I think a lot of festivals these days are pretty big in scale, like the festivals that I see in Europe and in North America,
182
they'll have huge lineups, like over a hundred different musical acts and they'll have many different stages.
183
And sometimes they have like indoor tents that you can go to as well.
184
And each stage maybe will have a different genre of music.
185
So like if you're into electronic music, maybe you could go to a smaller stage that's in a tent.
186
And if you're into rock music, maybe there's a bigger outside stage, something like that.
187
But this was a much smaller scale festival and they only had, well, I guess technically two stages, but the setup was very unique.
188
So they had one big grass field where the audience would stand and then they had two stages side by side.
189
And while one act was performing, the crew for the next act would be setting up the stage,
190
like setting up the instruments or whatever the DJ equipment, like whatever the acts needed to use.
191
The crew would be setting that up while one act was performing.
192
So all the audience would be focused maybe on the left side of the stage where somebody was performing
193
and then on the right side of the stage, which was kind of divided in the middle by like this big TV setup.
194
So, you know, people in the back could watch the action on the TV.
195
On the other side of the stage, the opposite side of the stage, the crew would be setting up
196
and it seemed like actually a pretty good idea
197
because they were able to go back and forth between acts with only like five minutes of break time.
198
So one act would finish and then there'd be five minutes of break time.
199
And then the audience would just kind of shift their attention to the other side of the stage.
200
And then the next act would begin.
201
So my strategy, because I wanted to see my bloody Valentine as clearly as I could, I told my wife, okay,
202
we're going to get into the crowd.
203
We're going to finish up our hot dogs here.
204
We're going to get into the crowd, into the audience while the act before my bloody Valentine is playing,
205
which was a DJ, a DJ from Japan, Yosuke Yukimatsu.
206
And while he was performing YY, maybe I could call him YY, easier for me to pronounce.
207
While YY was playing, I said to my wife, okay, everybody's going to be focused on this DJ.
208
He's like a popular hip DJ, right?
209
Everybody's going to be focused on him.
210
While they're focused on him.
211
Our job is to sneak over and get a great spot to watch my bloody Valentine.
212
So we finished up our hot dogs and that's what we did.
213
We snuck into the crowd and we went in the opposite direction.
214
You think most people would be going to watch the DJ, but we're like, no, not watch the DJ.
215
We're going to go get a good stage position.
216
And so that's what we did.
217
And in the end, that strategy was pretty good because we got pretty close to the stage,
218
maybe like much closer than I was compared to when I was in Tokyo, for example, when I saw my bloody Valentine back in February.
219
So I was happy with where we were.
220
And then we had to watch the DJ, this YY DJ play Yosuke Yukimatsu.
221
But he ended up being awesome.
222
He really pumped me up for the show.
223
I thought he was really great and like great energy, great performance, great tune selection.
224
The songs that he was playing, I was really into.
225
He's playing like some old stuff that I remember, like remixes of songs by groups like The Prodigy,
226
which was a group that from the UK that was really big when I was maybe in middle school, high school.
227
And so it was kind of sentimental to me.
228
And I thought, you know, I was one of the older people there.
229
So I thought, do these kids know this song?
230
This song's banging.
231
This is awesome.
232
So I really enjoyed his performance.
233
And of course, we couldn't see him very well from where we were standing because he was on the opposite stage.
234
But the festival was super well organized.
235
It's kind of funny because in the last episode, I said how I was reluctant to buy a ticket because I thought the festival was maybe not that well organized.
236
But boy, was I wrong because it was immaculately organized and run and like everything was smooth and functioning really, really well.
237
So I tip my hat to the organizers of the concert and the festival.
238
They did a great job.
239
And there were huge screens and TVs everywhere.
240
So although we couldn't see the DJ like super, super well.
241
You could see him on the screen and it was just really cool.
242
I hadn't heard like super, super loud dance music like that with awesome lights and big TVs and high energy for a long time.
243
So I really enjoyed the performance.
244
My wife was like, eh, it was so, so, but I thought it was great.
245
And yeah, I was really pumped up to see My Bloody Valentine.
246
As soon as the DJ finished, then there were only a couple of minutes of intermission before My Bloody Valentine took the stage and they started their concert.
247
The set list that they played, and the set list is the tracks, the songs that they played.
248
We call that the set list.
249
That was almost exactly the same as the Tokyo show that I had seen earlier, minus a couple of songs that they had removed.
250
I guess maybe when they're playing their own headlining concert, then I think they played for around two hours in Tokyo,
251
but they only had an hour and 15 minute set time in Seoul at this festival.
252
So the set list was shorter.
253
They removed some songs.
254
Unfortunately, they removed one of my favorite songs of theirs.
255
So I was a little bit disappointed about that.
256
But overall, I enjoyed the show.
257
I think a lot of the audience didn't enjoy the show.
258
I felt like I was one of the only people that was like really into it.
259
And I can understand why maybe the other audience members
260
or the other viewers weren't so into it because the mixing wasn't that great.
261
Unfortunately, the vocals were really, really low and hard to hear.
262
The guitars were super loud and the drums were really loud,
263
but the bass and the vocals were sort of lost in the mix and they didn't come through super, super clearly.
264
Of course, because I'm a really big fan of their music, I know what the melody is like.
265
I know what the words are.
266
I know what the bass is doing.
267
So I think me, in my mind, I can kind of mentally put those elements in, but almost immediately as soon as they started,
268
there were other people in the audience yelling at the band, like, turn up the volume, turn up the mics, we can't hear you, this kind of thing.
269
So that was a little bit unfortunate.
270
And after seeing My Bloody Valentine play two times now this year,
271
I think I have to admit that they're a much better studio band than they are a live band.
272
And the live experience is interesting.
273
It's cool to see some of your favorite songs performed live.
274
And in a way, it's cool to see some of my musical heroes on the stage to perform live.
275
Like, that's great.
276
And as a mega fan, I get a lot of enjoyment out of that.
277
But if I'm being completely honest, the songs could maybe be performed a little bit better or mixed a little bit better.
278
And I get the concept.
279
Like my bloody Valentine is kind of an artsy fartsy band.
280
Like they're serious musicians.
281
They're kind of seriously making art, right?
282
They're almost like artists.
283
So they're playing that role on the stage.
284
And when the concert starts, the band comes out, they don't say hello.
285
They don't wave to the audience at all.
286
They don't even allow themselves to be on the TV.
287
I think they have some kind of contract.
288
I was reading about this online.
289
They have some agreement in their contract that when they perform a concert,
290
the concert venue is not allowed to display them on the TVs.
291
So they do have a bunch of TVs and screens
292
and there's like artwork and visualizations going on and cool lights and stuff.
293
But you can't actually see the band very clearly unless you're close to the stage too.
294
So that's also, in my opinion, kind of a bummer.
295
Like if you're towards the back of the stage or the back of the concert area, then you can't really see what the band is doing too clearly if they don't display that on the TV.
296
So, yeah, this concept of being like serious musicians, serious artists, making a statement, performing something cool, doing art.
297
Like I get it.
298
But at the same time, the entertainment value of that is rather low.
299
and I don't know, for me personally, maybe if they were young kids in their 20s doing that, I'd be like, that's cool.
300
I respect that.
301
But they're in their 60s.
302
And to me, it just sort of rubbed me the wrong way a little bit.
303
Like all of the audience members, we pay a lot of money and we give our time to go see them.
304
And then they come on the stage.
305
They don't say hello.
306
They don't say thanks for coming.
307
They don't even say anything.
308
I think one of the band members said, at some point, which is like high in Korean.
309
So they sort of mumbled into the mic, Mike and young and then in between some of the songs.
310
And that was it.
311
Like, I don't know.
312
For me, it just rubbed me the wrong way.
313
If it were me and I came all the way to Korea to play a show to Korean fans, I'd be like, oh, I'm so happy to be here.
314
I'm so excited to play.
315
Thank you for coming to listen to us.
316
Like, I'm sure they feel that way themselves.
317
Like, but the concept that they have going on with their performance, just a little bit rubbed me the wrong way.
318
So anyways, that was a little bit disappointing, but I would say overall, I want to give the concert an eight out of 10, an eight out of 10.
319
I really, I did enjoy it.
320
Despite some of the mixing problems still to see some of those songs performed live was amazing.
321
And I really enjoyed every second of it.
322
So cool show.
323
I'm happy I got the opportunity in the end to go.
324
I had a great time with my wife and now getting back, getting back after the festival was a bit of an adventure as well,
325
because for whatever reason, I don't know if anybody knows the answer to this, any of our Korean listeners who know the answer to this, let me know in the comments for this episode, because I'm curious.
326
But the airport train that leaves Incheon Airport towards Seoul finishes at 1030 at night.
327
And I don't know why that is.
328
That seems unnecessarily early to me.
329
Like, I think a lot of planes are still arriving at that time at night.
330
But yeah, if you are past 1030 at night, then you can't get into Seoul by the subway.
331
And the concert, My Bloody Valentine was from 845 until 10 p.m.,
332
which only left us 30 minutes to get from the concert to the subway.
333
And that's not just getting to the airport, right?
334
You got to get through the airport down into the subway and all of that rigmarole, all of those steps.
335
So we're like, there's no way unless we leave the concert in the middle of the concert, there's no way we're going to be able to catch that last train.
336
Like it's just not happening in that 30 minute time zone.
337
And we didn't want to get stuck in Incheon.
338
So we decided to take the airport bus.
339
There are of course, buses that go from the airport to all different corners of the country, really.
340
And they're a little bit more expensive.
341
I think it was 18,000 won, probably around 10 to 12 American dollars for a bus ticket.
342
But I thought, well, it's also going to be nice, like after the concert's finished
343
and we've been standing for a long time just to sit on the bus
344
and the bus will take us almost all the way to our home.
345
So we decided to buy a bus ticket, which we bought in advance almost immediately after I got the concert tickets.
346
I bought the bus ticket so that we could we could do that thinking ahead.
347
So yeah, we, uh, we left the concert and here's another famous thing about my bloody Valentine.
348
They're, they're really famous for their loud guitars and the, the guitar player from the band,
349
Kevin Shields is, is known for his unique style of guitar playing.
350
It's, it's called like a wall of noise.
351
He can make this wall of noise with his guitar
352
and they finish all of their sets by making this wall of noise.
353
All of the musicians just play their instruments really loudly and it creates this huge wall of noise,
354
which sounds terrible, but when you experience it live, it's actually incredible.
355
It's really, really cool.
356
And I experienced it in Tokyo.
357
They did this wall of noise for like 20 minutes.
358
It was crazy, but I knew they were going to do that in Seoul as well.
359
So I told my wife, we don't have to stick around for the wall of noise, like just to hear them feedback with their guitars for 20 minutes.
360
Why don't we experience it for one minute
361
and then we'll take off early so we can get to the shuttle boss before the rest of the crowds.
362
So because their set list was exactly the same, minus a couple of songs as they played in Tokyo, I knew what to expect.
363
And so when they got into their wall of noise.
364
We listened to it for a minute or two.
365
And then I said to my wife, okay, let's go.
366
Let's get on that shuttle bus.
367
So we had to pretty much like rip back
368
because we knew there were going to be
369
so many people on the shuttle bus trying to get to the airport after the concert.
370
So we hurried up.
371
We were like speed walking all the way through the festival grounds, through the exit, through the big hotel complex that they have there.
372
And we were one of the first in line to get on the shuttle bus.
373
We got on the shuttle bus and we were able to catch our airport bus, which took us almost all the way back to our home.
374
Of course, that's still a pretty long journey.
375
It's over an hour, maybe an hour and 15 minutes on the bus.
376
My wife passed out.
377
She just slept the whole way, but I was buzzing from the concert.
378
I was like really stoked.
379
I was like, there's no way I could sleep.
380
I was still so excited from seeing the concert.
381
And when we arrived pretty close to where we live.
382
It dropped us around a kilometer away from where we live.
383
We decided to get some food.
384
We were both pretty hungry.
385
So we ate some delicious Korean food called gamja tang, which is this kind of pork bone soup.
386
Really delicious, a little bit spicy.
387
If you ever get the opportunity to try it, I recommend it.
388
It's really good.
389
So we had some gamzha tang, and then we walked home, and we walked home along the riverside path where I always go running.
390
And these days, because of the heat, I've been doing a lot of early morning running.
391
I usually never run early in the mornings, but it's unavoidable in this heat that I have to go out and run in the morning.
392
So it's interesting to see the different vibe, the different atmosphere of the riverside path at different times of the day.
393
Like when I go out in the morning to go running, it's mostly just other senior citizens that are out there to be completely honest,
394
just like grandmas and grandpas hanging out along the river.
395
And then when I go at night to go running, because I go running at night sometimes too after sunset.
396
It's a lot of like people around my age and younger people mostly exercising,
397
a lot of like runners and cyclists and people walking their dogs.
398
But if you go, we were around 1 a.m by the time we were walking home after riding the bus
399
and eating food and all of this.
400
And if you go at Saturday night at 1 a.m., then it's a totally different vibe.
401
We're near one of the big universities here in Seoul as well.
402
So there's always lots of university students around, a lot of foreign exchange students around.
403
and I was shocked to see how many of them were just hanging out
404
and enjoying the Riverside path and a lot of young couples on romantic walks on a Saturday night.
405
So it was cool to see the different vibe.
406
And yeah, we walked home.
407
I got home.
408
I walked my dog.
409
Our poor dog was waiting for us that whole time.
410
She was a trooper and I took her for a walk as soon as we got home.
411
And then when all was said and done, probably by the time I was ready for bed, it was around 2 a.m.
412
So I hadn't been out that late in a long time.
413
That's like way past my bedtime for these days.
414
So yeah, that was quite a day.
415
But I had just a great time.
416
It was nice to relax.
417
I hadn't done anything like that in a while, like a music festival outside.
418
It's been years and years, in fact.
419
But I really enjoyed it.
420
and I had kind of written off music festivals.
421
I was kind of like, you know, I think I'm done with this stage of my life going to festivals.
422
However, I really enjoyed myself.
423
I didn't feel out of place.
424
I didn't feel too old.
425
I didn't feel like it was too difficult.
426
So I'm going to keep an open mind about the festivals next year.
427
And if there are some artists that I like, then maybe I'll consider going back.
428
Definitely, it was a good time.
429
So I think that's the story that I wanted to tell you guys today.
430
I hope you enjoyed listening along.
431
Most importantly, I hope you found this useful and helpful for building your English fluency.
432
Don't forget to check out the transcript and the glossary that's available for this episode.
433
And if you're a member as well, then there's also a comprehension quiz that you can get.
434
So guys, thank you so much for listening and please take care up ahead.
435
I'll be back soon with another brand new bonus episode to share with you in the near future.
436
But until then, take care and I'll catch you later.
437
Bye-bye.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
