Blue House! First Lady of South Korea! 김정숙여사님 ❤️

Hello Guys!!!! 안녕하세요!!!

I wanted to share with you guys about my visit to Blue House and meeting with First Lady of South Korea, 김정숙여사님 ( First Lady Kim Jung Sook).

The Blue House in Korean:청와대 and Hanja: 靑瓦臺; Cheong Wa Dae that literally means "Pavilion of blue tiles", for those who don't know about the Blue House; Blue House is actually an executive office and official residence of South Korea President and its located in the capital city of Seoul actually behind the most famous Gyeongbukgung Palace.

Upon on their visiting ASEAN countries, First Lady has invited students from Malaysia, Brunei, and Cambodia that studies in South Korea to the presidential office. 

So we all been gathered at ASEAN main office in Seoul before going to the Blue House, we been brief and explain about protocol during the visit. The security check is a no joke, you need to show your passport and went into the metal detector machine just like the one that they have in the airport. Its feel like in the drama where all the security were suited up and wearing those dark sunglasses. We have been shown a video about the history of Blue House before going into the Blue House compound. 

The scenery inside the Blue House compound is soo beautiful, the landscape is nice and you won't feel like you were in the middle of the city. After arriving at the main presidential office, we are lined up to greet the First Lady. It was like attending the Oscar red carpet because all the photographer and media were busy capturing the moment when the First Lady arrived. She is wearing a dress that the pattern is design based on South Korea flag (태극기), I was starstruck because she is gorgeous and humble.

Suddenly, I'm blessed by my height; she called me to walk with her to the main hall because I'm quite small to compare to the others (by saying small is related to height not weight). The feeling when she grabs my hand was indescribable (First Lady hand guys!!!). The things are all the photographer started to take their position and the red carpet event is happening again but this time with me beside her. 

We then enter the hall, and I seated opposite/in front of her. I can call this meeting as a Tea Party where we discuss about current issues that related to our life in South Korea and how to promote the ASEAN countries to the world while enjoying our tea and dessert. 

So before we finish, First Lady asked us to look at the paper bag that she had prepared for us; little that we know that we will receive a limited edition watch from the President of South Korea, Presiden Moon Jae In. 

The same watch that BTS receive, so at least I have something in common with the worldwide super famous Kpop Group. After the visit, we have appeared in a lot of national news. Like I said before the feeling is indescribable. I just put a screenshot of the article as a proof :) 

By the way, enjoy the picture guys;

That all I guess and what I can conclude is it was a once in the lifetime experience to meet the lovely South Korea first lady 김정숙여사님 ❤️ such and honored for me to be seated in one room, having tea and get a chance to speak with her at the Blue House and I still can't believe that I get a chance to involve with this prestigious program. 

Thanks for this opportunity ASEAN-Korea Centre 한-아세안센터
