A super-awesome time!

Published on May 30, 2010 by in Sogaeting

K-POPPED!’s 2ND SOGAETING @ THE STREET CAFE Photo montage by Cyfull Ramli I’ll keep this entry short and sweet because…you really have to BE THERE to benefit from a Sogaeting event. Reading about it just isn’t the same. K-popped! held its second Sogaeting @ The Street Café gathering on the 29th May. At first, Orchid (yeah that’s me) had a tough time trying to get guys to come for the event. Up till four days before the event, we only had one confirmed male participant and one iffy candidate. Oh dear, how to have a “blind date” event when we are so short of guys!!? Luckily (and with some prayer), we had more than enough guys come Saturday! Phew! We had 6 couples at the gathering and played three Korean Sogaeting games! The games were a hit. Special thanks to Andrew K for teaching us those games. It definitely broke the ice and brought much laughter to everyone that day. Two couples who had the most amount of penalties, got a very special Korean-style punishment! But true to the Malaysian spirit of “muhibbah”, it was awesome to witness everyone helping the couples out. Here are quotes from a few of

K-popped!’s 1st Sogaeting @ The Street Café a success

Published on April 27, 2010 by in Sogaeting

Words by LizPhotos by Hallyu Surf Instructor Sure, there were a few glitches, but thanks to the fantastic participants, our inaugural Sogaeting @ The Street Café turned out to be a success! And because of the encouraging response, more Sogaeting @ The Street Café gatherings are in the works. Ambience: A cozy atmosphere for our very first Sogaeting event OK, let’s start with the not-so good news. Only 2 Korean boys (out of 5) made it for the event. The rest were…erm, unavailable at the last minute. Also, one of the girls pulled out because of a personal problem. Nonetheless, the “show” must go on…and it did, albeit a little delayed. K-boys Jun and Min arrived an hour late for the event and to make up for the male-female ratio imbalance, two guys from The Street Café sportingly jumped in to balance things out. Thanks Eddie and Joon! Early birds: Participants chatting while waiting for the rest to arrive And the girls – my, oh my – they were the loveliest, friendliest and most positive bunch any host could hope for. There was so much to talk about between the new friends that they continued to hang out at Starbucks

Sogaeting @ The Street Café on April 24

Published on April 21, 2010 by in Culture, Sogaeting

Psst, have you heard? The Street Café and K-popped! are organizing a little get together where boys meet girls…and they have some fun. Will you get your mind out of the gutter? Sogaeting @ The Street Café is happening this Saturday and guests who have booked a place for the by-invite only event will get to meet and mingle with new friends with similar interests. Oh, and they will be taking home a goodie bag from Korea Tourism Organization and Galaxie magazine. Sogaeting (소개팅), which basically means blind date, is a very common past time among Koreans. I’m sure you’ve seen K-dramas where the characters meet their dates for drinks at hotels, cafes and such, no? Well, to make it less intimidating for Malaysians (we are quite shy, mah), we’re adapting it to our culture. Through the sheer effort of Orchid – and some help from The Street Café’s owner Andrew Kim – 6 boys and 6 girls will be attending our inaugural Sogaeting @ The Street Café. They are:여자 Syud Zack Samantha Tew Cindy Xin Liming Syd Mokhtar Nina Kim 남자 Kim Irsyad & 5 Korean guys whom I do not know the names of…yet (don’t worry, allow me

Sogaeting @ The Street Cafe (24 April 2010)

Published on April 10, 2010 by in Culture, Sogaeting

Hi all, K-popped! and The Street Cafe will be co-organizing a ground event called “Sogaeting @ The Street Cafe” on the 24th April 2010. Thank you to those who have shown interest and who have sent Orchid (that’s me!) a personal message on Facebook to secure a seat. Currently, we have more than enough ladies who have responded. Thank you girls! So here, we are making a shout out to the guys out there, who are reading our blog. If you are interested, please private message Orchid on FB. Please note that Sogaeting @ The Street Cafe is NOT A PARTY. It is more like a GROUP DATE. Five girls and five guys will be invited to the first session on the 24th. The Street Cafe will be sponsoring drinks but cost of food will be borne by the participants themselves. There will also be some freebies given out to the participants. It’s sort of a get-to-know one another session, and we hope to bring the Korean culture of sogaeting (blind date) here to Malaysia!

Sogaeting Malaysia

Published on February 17, 2010 by in Culture, Sogaeting

소 개팅 (pronounced So-gae-ting) is a favourite Korean past time. “Sogaeting” simply means blind date. On weekends, single Korean men and women would go on blind dates. They would obtain contacts of a member of the opposite sex from friends and meet up for drinks. If they don’t hit it off, then they move on, and probably set up another date to meet another person the next week. There is another Korean word for blind date called 선 (pronounced Son or Seon). These blind dates are normally arranged by parents for their children, with the intention of marrying them off. Well, Orchid is attempting to bring this Korean culture of blind dates here to our shores – 소개팅 Malaysia (Sogaeting Malaysia). Become a Facebook fan, and meet new people, who knows, you might just find your Mr. or Mrs. Right there!
