MESSAGES FROM KOREA TIMES:

QUOTE
Dear friends,

I would like to start with our sincere appreciation for all your support and trust in us. A lot of things have happened behind the scene for the last three weeks and it was heck of a big challenge for all of us. I should say that it was the first time ever experiencing this level of situation during my professional career.

Many of you have already noticed, but it is regretful to inform you that we have lost two more artists, Eru and Tae Jin Ah. Eru decided to go to the military giving up his US citizenship and notified us that both he and his father would not be able to make it due to that reason. Even if we lost two popular singers(Lee Hyo Ri and Wonder Girls) by that time, we had no choice but releasing him with respect and honoring his voluntary and courageous decision. Regardless of the reason, please generously accept our apology for giving you a confusion and keeping you wait for long.

For the last two weeks, we worked very hard around the clock to make up the holes and finally come up with the list that would ultimately end our casting fro this year's concert. The final names are,

Minwoo (M/from Shinhwa)
Moon Hee Jun (from the legendary group H.O.T)
Chae Yeon, one of the sexy icons in K-pop

joins

Dong Bang Shin Gi(TVXQ)
Super Junior-T
So Nyeo Shi Dae(Girl's Generation)
Fly To The Sky
SG Wannabe
Sohn Ho Young
Ock Ju Hyun

Shin Joong Hyun
Yoon Hyung Ju
Kim Se Hwan
Choi Baek Ho
Jung Hoon Hee

MC: Brian & Ock Ju Hyun


I am aware that many of you have expected to see your favorite singers in the final list, but I hope you understand that the names in our list are also great artists who can provide as much excitement and pleasure as the previous year's. Also we have slightly reduced the number of artists this year in order to give each of them more time to perform. Please come and enjoy the show.

I thank you again for all your patience and understanding, and we promise that we would do our best to present the best show possible for you. I'll see you at the Bowl.


All the best,

C.S. Hah
Director, Special Events

Dear friends,

There are several things I would like to announce today that has been an important development for us in the past two weeks.

The official broadcasting partner for this year's concert has been changed from MBC to SBS, another major network in Korea. It was a friendly move for everyone, and I strongly believe that the change will only bring us positive one.

Due to the change in broadcasting partner, however, we had to make a minor adjustment in terms of the artist lineup, and feel awfully sorry and regretful to inform you that two artists, Lee Hyo Ri and Wonder Girls, who we initially announced will not make it for the show this year.

Lee Hyo Ri was scheduled to take a MC role this year (and possibly perform). Her role is being replaced by Ock Joo Hyun, and she will be MC'ing the show along with Brian from Fly To The Sky. Wonder Girls were excited to come and perform at the Bowl, but, because of their live show schedule with MBC, they had to retreat from the inital commitment. Please accept our sincere apology for this.

Regardless of their abscence, our effort to build the best possible show will continue. We are pleased to announce that another idol star, Sohn Ho Young from the g.o.d. and So Nyo Shi Dae (SNSD) will join and perform at the Bowl. It was supposed to be the last addition, but, due to the recent change, we plan to add 1~2 more artist(s) and announce it within the next several days.

As the host of the largest Korean concert outside of Korea, we are proud to present the artist lineup for the 2008 Korean Music Festival at Hollywood Bowl.

Performing for OLD: Shin Joong Hyun, Tae Jin Ah, Yoon Hyung Joo, Kim Se Hwan, Choi Baek Ho, Jung Hoon Hee
Performing for YOUNG: Dong Bang Shin Gi(TVXQ), Super Juior-T, Sohn Ho Young, So Nyo Shi Dae(SNSD), Fly To The Sky, SG Wannabe, Ock Joo Hyun, Eru (1~2 artist TBD)
MC: Brian & Ock Joo Hyun

Finally, our LA and OC office are going to open for the public between 9:00am and noon on every Saturday until the event date. Purchasing and pickup service is available at the LA office while OC office only opens for the pickup service. Thank you for your support.

Dear friends,

It is my great pleasure to release another set of artists who are going to perform at the upcoming Bowl concert on May 17. They are,

Choi Baek Ho
Jung Hoon Hee
Dong Bang Shin Gi (TVXQ)

TVXQ is one of the hottest idol groups in Korea and gratefully accepted our invitation to perform at the Bowl. They are returning to the United States in 4 years after their debut appearance at the Bowl in 2004. Hope you give them a warm, friendly welcome back.

Choi and Jung are another fine additions for older generation. They were extremely popular in the 70's and 80's. It will be their first appearance to the bowl, and surely will make our lineup more mature and balanced.

We will release the final list on Tuesday, April 1. I think that will be our final announcement. Thank you.

Dear friends,

I am pleased to release the names of 3 additional artists who are going to join us for the upcoming Bowl concert. They are:

Shin Joong Hyun
Yun Hyung Joo
Kim Se Hwan

While you may be aware of Yun and Kim from the last year's. we are particularly thrilled and honored to have Shin Joong Hyun in this year's concert. He has been known as the Godfather of Korean rock music and one of the most respectable singers whose musical power transcends all generations. He retired from his 40-year carrer with a farewell concert tour in Korea last year, yet gratefully accepted out invitation to perform at the Bowl. This will be the first and may be the last time He's going to perform in the United States.

We plan to release next lineup on Tuesday, March 25. This time it will be 3 additionals and shall be followed by another announcement. Thanks all for the support.

Dear friends,

Hope all is well, and thanks for your continuing support and friendly comments on the 6th Korean Music Festival.

I am pleased to inform you that MBC, one of the three major TV networks in Korea, is going to return as the official broadcasting company. They carried our show in 2004 and 2007, and it will be the third time they would partner with us to air it.

As for the lineup, we have locked in 14 artists(individual/group) so far and will be able to confirm 2-3 more by the end of February. It should complete our casting or this year's concert, and we will start releasing the artist list in the week of March 10th.

Since last November, we have tried our best to secure best available performers who could cover all generations, genders and ethnicity. I hope with confidence that the lieup would not disappoint you, so trust us as you did for the past 5 years.

Regarding the tickets, you can pick up your tickets starting from Monday, March 17. We decided to do so in order to be fully ready for servicing you with less mistake.

Thank you for your understanding.

Dear friends,

I hope this email finds you well, and thank you for all your grateful support and interest in our 2008 Korean Music Festival at the Hollywood Bowl.

This year’s concert is set for 6:30pm, Saturday, May 17. Pre-concert festivity shall begin around 2:30pm on the same day in front of the Box Office. I trust that our corporate sponsors would distribute lots of giveaway items, so please come early and enjoy the benefits.

As you are aware, we activated web-sales system last month to better serve you and give everyone a fair chance in purchasing process. Fyi, we have increasing number of audiences, estimating more than 2,000 I believe, calling from other states and countries, and we felt that we had to give them the same chance that folks in LA receive.

Although there were some issues that we needed to improve, we plan to use the system as the main tool for ticket sales in the future. Our staffs have been working hard to facilitate any technical problem, so please do not hesitate to call ticket office at 323-692-2055/2068/2070 for inquiries.

Tickets will be available for pick-up in March just as last year. Since there is an ample time left until the show date and more importantly we keep all the individual records of sales transaction and seating assignment, you can trust us there should not be any problem on this. So please be patient.

As for the artists, we have locked in 12 top-notched performers so far. We are currently working on 4~5 additional artists and plan to release the names some point in March. Therefore any name or list you hear until then should be considered as "unconfirmed".

We will continue to check your posts and opinions on the websites regularly and will try to respond to them as promptly as possible. Thank you.


All the best,

QUOTE (chrissejin @ Mar 1 2008, 12:43 PM) *
So many questions!! I'll do my best to answer them since I've been to Hollywood Bowl almost every year (I missed one year), and how the whole event is laid out. But number one, PLEASE DO NOT CONVO! Please PM each other.

1) Do we need a confirmation number to pick up our ticket?
It seems as if some people received confirmation numbers and some did not. All you really need is the person's name the ticket was bought under, and the phone number. It's also handy to have the last 4 digits of their credit card number that the tickets were charged under, and also know which section seats were bought. If you are really paranoid, you can call them and ask for a confirmation number. But honestly, when they look for your ticket, it's by your name, and they double check with your phone number.

2) Can we take the bus to and from Hollywood Bowl?
Hollywood Bowl offers a system called Park & Ride (go read SANBI's post). Rather than calling it a bus, you should call it more of a shuttle bus, since it doesn't stop at every bus stop. It picks you up at a specific location, takes you to the Hollywood Bowl, and brings you back. This is for people who want to save money on parking; however, there is a fee to take the "shuttle." Because the Korean Music Festival is during the off season of Hollywood Bowl, Korea Times has to rent out specific locations for the Park & Ride, so not all of them are available.

3) Can you we take a taxi after Hollywood Bowl?
Yes you can, but realize that you have to wait a LONG while after the traffic out there dies out. So many cars are trying to leave that area, that to find the taxi you ordered might take forever. I would suggest waiting it out or you can walk out to Hollywood and Highland area. There are always people walking around, but I wouldn't say it is exactly safe. Always have a number to a taxi company on your phone/wallet. There are also Korean taxi's which are cheaper. But taxi's are quite expensive in LA. There are many hotels near the Hollywood Bowl, so you can go in there and ask the concierge for a taxi company number.

4) What time should I get to Hollywood Bowl?
They do have preconcert festivities which not only includes freebies, but also mini concerts hosted by Radio Seoul. Last time, the group SERIOUSLY had a little performance. They sometimes have little dance performances, taekwondo demonstrations, or fan dances. You don't have to come that early (2 is early!!). Come around 3 or 4. It's also held OUTSIDE of the actual bowl. They don't open the entrance to the actual bowl until 30 minutes before show time. There is one main entrance that people try to squeeze in through, but there are actually THREE entrances into the bowl. There is another one in the middle (but if you go through this way, you won't get your glowsticks!), and there is a Pool Circle entrance on the backside of the bowl dome.

5) Do they give out Hollywood Bowl t-shirts?
They don't give out shirts. I believe the only year where they actually gave out shirts was in 2006 for World Cup. But other than that, people in the pool circle were given fleece jackets last year.

6) Can we sell our ticket if our favorite artist doesn't come?
It's your ticket, and you can do WHATEVER you want with it. Even if your favorite artist doesn't come, you might see your NEW favorite artist at the bowl! Korea Times does their best to pick only the best and top performers of Korea. And they also make sure to put on a top notch show that EVERYONE would enjoy. If they don't bring your favorite artist, don't sell your ticket! You should still go! There is nothing like going to a HUGE SOLD OUT outdoor Korean concert. I don't think I've ever heard anyone regret going to Hollywood Bowl. And who knows, maybe the artists that they bring will be a new favorite of yours once you see them LIVE!!!

IMPORTANT! Make sure to BRING FOOD! If you forgot to bring food, buying it at the Bowl is EXPENSIVE! You can go out to the main street and walk over to Subway and bring it back. It is a LOOOOOOOONG concert, so make sure to have food and water to keep you energized.Also, it is an OUTDOOR concert, and Hollywood Bowl is up in the mountain area, so make sure to bring a jacket just incase you get cold or winds start blowing.I hope this helped.

when you reserve the tickets you they only take down your name and number i think. you dont need to pay because you are only reserving not buying. i think for the tickets they can either send them to you or you can go to korea times in LA to pick it up. ^^


Nooo they won't send them. Last year I asked if they could send them to San Francisco and they said no. I'm not sure if the same rules apply if you live in SoCal though.

QUOTE (lilitadaki @ Jan 13 2008, 02:05 AM) *
After you've reserved the tickets but decide not to buy them do you just tell them you don't want them?
How long is it until your able to buy them?


Yeah. In March they'll start calling all those people to confirm if you still want the tickets.
some kind of therapy
QUOTE (saychizzz @ Jan 13 2008, 01:24 AM) *
omg I'm super excited I just finished watching the Hollywood Bowl 2007 on DVD!!!!
When do we know who is performing? and do tickets go fast?

and when we reserve tickets, do we need like a credit card number or anything?!


thanks!


and another thing.....where can we get the tickets!?


You could pick them up at the LA times place the days before HB, but on the actual day, they have a stand outside of the stadium where they have all those advertisements and freebees so all you have to do is go up there and like.. tell them your name and they'll hand you your ticket.
s@nbi
QUOTE (lilitadaki @ Jan 13 2008, 02:45 PM) *
After reserving them, when they call you back how do you pay?


You pay by Credit card. Or debit card. You need some type of Credit card. They will ask for the CC number, expiration date etc...
Or if you don't have a CC you can go to Korea Times in LA and pay in cash yourself.

So when you first reserve they will only take your number, name and the tickets you want. Later they will start calling you for payment. Korea Times doesn't mail the tickets to you.

So you have 3 options to get your tickets:

1. Pick them up at Korea Times LA office
2. Pick them up at will call on the day of the concert [At hollywood bowl]
3. Or you can pick up the tickets at one of the Korea Times office near you.

Korea Times Orange County Office
Korea Times Rowland Heights Office

I think there is one in Garden Grove too. Not sure. You can ask the Korea Times LA office to send your tickets to one of the Korea Times office near you.
..kaleena..
i have a quesion. when does the Korea times place open? like, what time do they start picking up their phone calls? THANKS! biggrin.gif

oh yea, is it possible for the singers to come in two consecutive years? like.. if FTTS and Big Bang came last year, is it possible for them to come back again this year?

can't wait for the list..
i'll definitely come this year. this will be my first HB experience..
is there anyone who's coming from NY/jersey? coz i'm cgoing there alone..^^
BeatOfAzia
Anytime =)

You can still reserve and probably should reserve because you don't necessarily have to buy the tickets if you suddenly change your mind later or something. It's best to reserve your tickets early so you can get great seats I believe. But they won't make you buy them until later.. most likely around march. They will contact you and ask you to purchase the ticket(s) you reserved. But I would reserve if you want to go. =)

Oh and those numbers are for the Korea Times in LA not the number for the Hollywood Bowl.

I'm so confused about this. Khype's forums state that Koreatimes isn't taking reservations this year, but... yet the banner states different.

That's so lame how they're not taking reservations.
The artist list isn't even out yet, how do we know if we want to go?
If SNSD, Super Junior, & Big Bang don't come (I'm not counting on DBSK to come), then it'd be a total waste for me.
-_____________- What to do..
No job so I have to ask parents for money.
But I don't want to get $200 and then find out my favorite artists aren't even coming..
omgehtsvivian
^so this year for sure they are not taking reservations?
and once we call in monday that's when we are going to pay/confirm with them?

So I called Korea Times @ 8:57 AM PST today & they told me that this year there will be NO RESERVATIONS like the previous years. Tickets will go on sale on JANUARY 21 @ 10:00 AM. The unfortunate thing is that the performers' list will not be available. So you will be buying the ticket without knowing who's going to come this year! There's no backing out since the previous years allowed reservations, you were allowed to back out if you weren't satisfied with who's coming. Prices won't be announced until the date it goes on sale which is JANUARY 21 @ 10:00 AM.

THIS SUCKS THAT THERE'S NO RESERVATIONS!!!!
WHAT IF THE PERFORMERS THAT I LIKE DON'T COME??
blahhhhhhhhh. && they raised up the price tickets from last year!! ROAR!!!
orochipotato
haha I'm happy that you actually purchase it right away now. Because it gets annoying when the pool circle reserve list gets too long since people reserve for people that aren't sure if they want to go or not.
This time it'll give us slowpokes the chance to buy it without battling it out (or waiting months for a phone call from koreatimes without knowing if someone changed their mind in the list.) ! woohoo
KIM YOOMEH
so i'm assuming you can also call and buy tickets if we cant order them online?
LisaFace
Well... I'm just going to go and buy tickets even if none of my favorite artists ends up not going because I know ill regret not going if I don't go this year haha.

Omg I hope Big bang, Boa, DBSK (wishful thinking), CSJH or Wonder Girls come, those artists would make me year!!!
I actually herd that Wonder Girls is going to be in LA for JYP's party thing so hopefully that gives them more of a chance to come =[[

Big Bang- I dont think theyll come at all now. Their way too popular. For example, BOA, Kangta, DBSK, and so on, after they became really popular they stopped coming to the HB and did promotion and other activities in Japan, china, and so on.


it doesnt matter how popular they are. suju, big bang, and boa were all really big last year. and they all came last year!
so as of right now, it could be ANYONE coming :]

Well, it does happen like that every year. I know last year I bought my tickets without knowing who was going either because the artist list wasn't out yet. I knew if I waited to find out which artists were going I wasn't going to get good seats. And I have no regrets about it. I personally don't care who is going because Hollywood Bowl is always fun, regardless if the artists I like aren't going or what not.

^Did it say somewhere that there isn't going to be an extended stage?

QUOTE (soccerinkorea @ Jan 16 2008, 01:43 PM) *
Your talking only about last year. Suju is going to come/ every oppurtunity they get. They appear everywhere theres a international or overseas concert basically. (not saying all but mostly all),

N once again i never said their not coming i said i doubt their coming. Its a opinionated responce. Big Big wise i said i doubt theyll come, not they will not come. Their at Japan promoting or w/e. a ARTISTs PROJECT IN jAPAN takes a while to complete or even to promote.. more like several months to a year or even up to a year and a half ... who knows


Uhh NO. SuJu ISN'T going to come every opportunity they get. Do you know how expensive it is to send them over here? Overseas concert...so you mean like America? The ONE time they've been here?

Guess what. SuJu is having a sub group in China this year and an Asia tour. Their chances of coming are already very slim.


WOW. Pool got raised to 200 but garden stayed 150? DUMB.

QUOTE (soccerinkorea @ Jan 16 2008, 11:50 AM) *
SM Entertainment sends at least 2 or 3 singers over to HB so i wouldnt worry about SNSD, or SJ coming... SJ is kinda annoying tho. they come out everywhere nowadays.

Wondergirls- chances of them coming is not that high.. but they might come to HB anyways to make their image more brighter in the states.

Big Bang- I dont think theyll come at all now. Their way too popular. For example, BOA, Kangta, DBSK, and so on, after they became really popular they stopped coming to the HB and did promotion and other activities in Japan, china, and so on.


I really hope SUJU comes. All 13 of them.

I think Big Bang would come. They might want to start working on stuff in the States and this would be the best opportunity for them

----

I want to buy the tickets for my friend and I but if all those girl bands come, I would totally be wasting my money.
If I do, I am so getting those front row seat !!!!
thesweetestkrn
^ i agree with the popularity thing
but then again .. boa came last year
and not all artists comes two years in a row
so the chances of suju coming is low
especially with their new show and the asia tour coming up
seo nyuh shi dae has a chance, but they're suppose to let out their 2nd album this year too, so they might not
>>M.M.T<<
now it is true that $200 crazy.gif
$50 to $80...whoa..i can see they raise the price bc of HB popularity...but we people dont know who is coming, no reservation, and starting sale early?? unsure.gif what a push!!! tears.gif

exactly want good seats thought but arhh~~~gotta bankrupt... ph34r.gif

i m planning for garden but we dont hv 4 ppl...eek~~ sad.gif
if pool...i might get cracked my neck or get smashed? hehe ... jk
but garden price is still the same....
what do you guys think about..garden or pool?? excl.gif
stjapo46
omg I can't wait w00t.gif I really want to see the guest list though

This has to be the year~ I hope a lot of artists are coming =D too bad I don't think I can afford it - $60 for me I guess xD

haha no.
i live in california.
6 hours away from LA.
but since theyre not taking refunds...

and i didnt buy my ticket yet.
but i will.
if i decide to go
but if it ends up that suju and big bang arent performing
whats the point of going if my favorite artists arent coming?
and what am i supposed to do with a fricking $200 tickett?!

QUOTE (margaux @ Jan 16 2008, 07:08 PM) *
that really suck!! but i have a theory.. if they're not taking reservations this year, selling it this early and raising the prices.. i think that HB this year will be a blast. i mean.. i think that they will bring great perfomers this year.. just my opinion.^^

well.. i'll just take a risk. gonna get a pool circle tix.
i don't wanna regret if i don't come this year..

so i can call any of the 3 nos. you posted?


i agree with this theory.

Thank you, thank you MissMonika for saying and laying it out there for others who are too worried about who's coming and not. I totally agree with you on the whole essence of Hollywood Bowl. It's a time to celebrate Korean's Music and Artists. Remember it's not the list that counts.

Let's just all go and have fun and celebrate Korean's Music Festival together!!! 2007 Hollywood Bowl was totally AWESOME! I want the same experience as last year! Yay, Yay, Yay!!! Hoo Whooo!!!

Can't wait to purchase my tickets.... Wishing for Garden or Terrance Seats *pray* happy.gif

WHOOT thanks for the update!!!:]<3

i sat in pool circle last year. maybe ill go for garden box this year, depending on the artist list.
touching Tablo and G-dragon was amazing
ntxoo89
awwww i sooo want to go but i know i can't *sniffle*
soompiers should meet over there XD
hope that super junior comes again this year *crosses finger*
viet13aby90
Garden box tickets sell in fours, because you get a table with four chairs. Lol.
I highly doubt they'll release the artist list by the 21st, the complete list wasn't even released til april last year.
I'm pretty sure you can call and give them multiple card numbers, although it might be tiresome.
Maybe you should have all friends call? Lol.

Darn, I thought the 17th was the perfect date too.
After senior prom AND ap testing sleep.gif
Does anyone know when the NCS for badminton is?
I really hope it's not on the 17th too.

omg i sooooo want to go to this after hearing bout last yr's but what the heck, i'm getting such mixed feelings after reading this thread.
to confirm, i need to call long distance on monday, and its not guaranteed that i'm not gonna be waiting a long time on a jammed phone line cuz of the amt of ppl calling.....we dont get to know who's performing til much later, so its take the risk or leave it....and what's the diff between the seats. no idea how big the hollywood bowl REALLY IS. so for garden, terrace, super seats..how far back are those really. are they gonna be ant size if i'm in super seats. should i be aiming for garden seats since 200 is alot, factoring in i hafta fly down from canada for it??
such a risk..how am i gonna ask a friend to do this w/ me. aiya!

what's an extended stage, i keep reading bout it?
and so i hafta wait til almost concert time to know who's performing or are they nice enuf to usually tell u on the phone or give hints?

ugh. i really just wanna see super junior since i'll never see them in asia.

Honestly, Last year I had the last row in Garden Box and I could see them perfect and in my opinion the best seats is front row middle garden box because its pretty much the same view but a little better as pool circle and that saves you 50 more dollars. I'm going to be gunning for middle front garden box =].

The extended stage is a little long stages that goes right down the middle of the pool circle and the artists run down there sometimes. And people in the pool circled complained because you could only see they're backs but if you were in front row middle garden box, they would be right in your face =].

QUOTE (coffeee @ Jan 17 2008, 10:05 AM) *
That's weird, they only raised the price for pool circle.

QUESTION!
If you buy garden box tickets do you have to pay for all 4 seats?
I remember last year they only let you buy in boxes and not individual seats.
I can afford two individual seats.. but all four is going to burn my pocket. (0.0)

Hmm.. garden box or pool circle..
Can't wait until they start listing the artists!

Well the way it was last year (not sure if its still the same) but you had to buy seats in an even amount for example, you have to either buy 2 seats, 4 seats, or 6 seats. If you're wanting to go with by yourself meaning 1 person. Or if you're wanting to go with 3 people, or 5 people, you wont be able to go unless you either drop one person or add a person to make the body count even.
goongS-girl
OMG! Thanks so much!
But....that's an important day for me too!
I'm doing something else on that day sad.gif I really wish something like a miracle happens
and then I can get to go!

THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL UPDATE THOUGH!!! WOW! I really am anxious to see which artists are going to come!!!

*need answer* xD
e ; c h o .
Yay! There's extended stage this year, which makes it even harder now for me to choose where to sit..
For those the went last year, did the artist perfrom on the extended stage most of the time? I don't wanna really buy a pool circle when you mainly just see the back of them...
