i guess almost all IGOT7 (around the world~ lol) & kpop fans (in malaysia) know about this already. well last june, out of a sudden, on a bright sunday morning suddenly ppl start talking about GOT7 is coming to malaysia to shoot their latest MV! lol and we got so shocked but at that time i was on my way to PD trip with my family so yeah i cant really welcome them at the airport sobs. but i was still jobless that week (lol) so i still managed to follow them at almost (not all tho) their filming location for 4 days (NOT STALK pls jsyk lol).
the best thing was, they were still rookies so u know.. the feeling is different lol like there weren't so many fans (yet) and it's all about them and you and you and you lol. and it was the best week ever cause some ppl might know how much i like youngjae (just as much as i like junho <3), so it was like... for the first in my life someone that i like, recognize my tremendous love for them, so............ yep i'm a happy noonar <3
ok straight to the point. here are some of the filming location. if any of you international IGOT7 are happen to visit malaysia soon, or those non-klang valley MY IGOT7 want to visit KL, or anyone whoever you are, you gotta visit all these places and do parody ok. but first, if you never watched their 'A' MV yet, go watch it now so you'll get some idea about these places lol.
