Fansigning session
Meet And Greet The Fans!
The
event was held one day prior to his mini showcase “F.Y.I On Stage Hello Eric Nam” which was set to take place at Chatime Galleria, Puchong on 12th October 2014. Before he
arrived at the stage of Klang Parade,
the host emcee of the day has interacted and played some games with the fans.
Some of the lucky fans were able to win away the exclusive Kakaotalk Dolls!
Everyone
was cheering and shouting his name “Eric”
to welcome him on stage. Without much delay, he came on stage and greeted
everyone who was present at the venue that night.
Hope This Is The 1st of Many
Trips! Love The People and Food!
Eric said that the people
in Malaysia are very friendly and nice. He said that the food was very good too
and he hoped that this was only the 1st out of many trips he would
be having to our country.
Asked
further by the emcee, Eric tried to recall the Malaysian food which he has
taken that day. He said he has tried one dish with rice wrapped inside the
banana leaf. No doubt it should be “Nasi
Lemak”. All the fans answered the name of the food as he tried to recall
the food name.
Besides
that, he also tried a type of brown cake with coconut which was quite sweet.
Some fans replied it’s “Kuih”! Then
he also tried a chicken curry pastry and everyone responded with the answer of “Curry Puff”! He has also taken a meal
at Nando’s.
Played Arcade Games! Met Fans Who Gave
Him A Candy!
One
of the many things he did once he set foot in Malaysia was to play some arcade
games. He played the games for a while and he finally gave up after losing for
many times!
He
also met some fans prior to his appearance on stage. One of them even gave him
a candy with a minion’s tattoo inside.
He didn’t have such a tattoo for almost 15 years and he liked it!
Eric Nam Danced On Stage?
Eric Nam mentioned
that he has to dance in the music video of his new song “Ooh Ooh”. He admitted that he’s not that good in it. However, the
emcee requested him to dance on stage. For the fans, he has no choice but to
dance spontaneously by doing some salsa. However, it was a brief one because he
scared that his hip might get dislocated.
He
also shared with the fans that he hopes to tone down his upcoming new song. He
wished to sing new song that is ballad style and more emotional.
Singing Performance on stage!
Eric Nam also
prepared a singing performance for the fans. He sang his debut song “Heaven’s Door” and he asked the fans
to do the hand motion he did during the song.
Love For The Fans!
During
the public event, Eric also didn’t
stop in showing his love to the fans. He showed them the love sign and also
said “Saya Cinta Padamu” in a few
different tones from the bottom of his heart.
Answering Questions Directed by Fans!
Besides
all these, there was a question board whereby the fans who attended the event
have placed their messages for him filled with special request or questions. He
has chosen five of the messages and responded to these five lucky fans.
One of
the request was to ask Eric Nam to
perform “Eyes, Nose, Lips” and he
did responded the request by singing the chorus of the song. Another fans
requested for a hug and yeah, he asked the fans to come over closely and he
hugged her.
Another
question was a bit funny as he was asked whether he preferred “Coffee, Tea or Me?” He answered
definitely “you” to the fans who dropped this message. Of course, he also
revealed that he loves coffee and would drink up to 4-5 cups of coffee per day.
He was also asked
whether he likes Mark or Jackson better. Wise in answering the
question, he asked the fans back whether they preferred Mark or Jackson. The
fans seemed to like Jackson better.
The event proceeded
with an autograph session and all of the fans were queued up happily to get
up-close with Eric Nam.
