i think they want my money

[keki7.livejournal.com]

i would say i would love to go shopping with kai but his cheap ass would probably pull a showtime and ditch me to go buy band aids.

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

Does that mean we can see rehearsals? loljk.

The hologram theatre looks amazing tho.

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

Bloody hell, that looks fancy.
They want my money.

[fullmoon-secret.livejournal.com]

I'm still confused on what this is. Is this an SMtown shopping mall? Their new SM building?
Does it means I can watch Smtown kids dancing and singing rehearsal, or their photoshoot while going here?
The hologram theater look neat though

[diicca.livejournal.com]

Same, those this mean access to the actual SM building? Kai had this passport-thingy, but how weird for everyone to have people in the hallways creeping.

I accept the café, the theater and the store, the recording and dance studio should be off limits just because no one likes to be watch while working. common sense.

Idk what you're really asking, but coex def isn't an SM mall. Its been there for quite a while, its one of those oversized, sparkly malls and erm there's theatres there I think and they took the atrium I guess? God, if they branched into a mall, dude. Dudeeeeeeeeeee. ........... /asphyxiates at thought.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

What's this supposed to be? It looks cool.

[baekpedaling.livejournal.com]

I want to go.

Seulgi looked really awkward?

[diicca.livejournal.com]

The leader was the most awkward one, she glance at the person holding the camera to be sure she was doing ok. :/

[baekpedaling.livejournal.com]

all 3, except joy, were a little awkward lol

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of the Youtube Spaces, like the main one in California.

Is it supposed to be an area just for SM artists and the public is allowed to just ogle at them, or is it an area where people can use the studios and equipment offered?

LOL after the prices I saw they were selling food at, I'm judging anyone who buys ANYTHING from their gift shops/cafes.

[shiroki-tenshi.livejournal.com]

"But I'm eating OPPARRRRRR" is what the fans say. Or something along those lines.

[rewindnext.livejournal.com]

i stood outside this damn place for hours this morning to get a ticket to jjong's showcase (unfortunately didn't) and then i decided not to go in at all because i couldn't feel my feet at that point lol. but girls were walking out with massive bags.

[diicca.livejournal.com]

I want merchandise but I live in fucking Narnia

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

if 2014 was a bad year for sm and they still made this, imagine a good one....

[diicca.livejournal.com]

It was a bad year because of scandals but money kept coming.

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

stock prices kept falling tho xD

[spaceinvaduhh.livejournal.com]

After watching the video, I think this is something like an SM theme park? Well not really a theme park but I guess they provide facilities, for example those studios are for fun if you wanna record yourself singing like how singers do, or get professional photo shoots. Probably if you go to the beauty salons you'll get yourself done by SM's own stylists or something. The celebrity shop explains itself lol. But I wonder if you have to pay separately or you just pay for the entrance fee and you can do whatever in there. It looks so fancy damn I wanna go there. That hologram theater looks awesome!

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

Literally Onew is so cute would you look at him like who are those other people even

But how much money did they pour into this facility while they can't even pay their employees properly smh

[fifi-moon.livejournal.com]

i always thought he was adorbs but he was hands down the most attractive irl

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

You received the blessing of seeing him irl?? oO

[fifi-moon.livejournal.com]

hahaha, yeah they came to Sydney a few years ago!

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

lol yeah ia. I saw them twice when they came to Manila. There was something about Onew's presence, tbh.

[fifi-moon.livejournal.com]

jealous!!! I always seem to miss shows/visits in MNL when I am there for work!

[natywentz.livejournal.com]

all i saw was, minho and onew *sigh*

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what that was.

Like, no freakin' clue. Whatever it was... I want to go. And it gives me hope for what the SM Museum in LA MIGHT look like, if they're still working on that.

But that song was annoying.

[yukahoo.livejournal.com]

lol They're absolutely shameless but hey if the fans are willing to hand over their money then why not.

[ssehun.livejournal.com]

Until when will this be open??

Jongin looked good ugh

[agentgoodnight.livejournal.com]

For the people who are wondering, Coex Artium is a concert hall/venue so it isn't SM's personal site. This just looks like a special installation/museum.

[demonology81.livejournal.com]

I will roll my money to them.

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

i have no idea what exactly this is but i am utterly impressed.

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

According to Google, the Coex Artium is a place that already exists so basically SM teamed up with the Coex Artium and retrofitted it to be a "SMTOWN" exhibition where fans can go and check a bunch of things out. It's like Kanye, Gaga, and Katy Perry renting out buildings for those POP UP shops they did. It actually sounds pretty cool if you're a big fan of SM and want to see things like the awards the artists have won in person.

You can also buy $16 cakes and other kinds of merchandise (the entire thing is just a place for SM to make more money lol).



Other f(x)-related things you can buy: http://functionlove.net/2014/12/21/141221-fx-official-goods-at-the-smtown-coex-artium-1-62p/

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

"$16 cakes"

Lol, fuck that.
I hear the snapback are around $70...wonder how much the other stuff costs?

Lol, also smiling derisively at the people who say Jessica's $250 glasses are too much, but are willing to buy this merch.

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

Well if it's anything like the EXO/SM pop up store that was at Lotte last year (or whenever it was) then some stuff is pricey, other stuff is reasonable. Also there's totally wtf stuff like flip flops and travel size empty bath bottles just with the group names on them.

Also never enough f(x) stuff.

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

no lie I'd maybe get that Red Light snapback even though I hardly wear hats. >.> And anything with Amber's face on it.

[teokiseog.livejournal.com]

lmao at Onew dancing. Is that Picasso?

[shiroki-tenshi.livejournal.com]

I want the 3D printer and print up my favorite idols LOL is that bad?

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

onew is so cute ;~; and look at the mingggg

[fashionxxavenue.livejournal.com]

this exhibit took them forever to complete. I remember seeing signs on the building over summer saying it was opening in august. After that they just had a sign that said coming soon lol

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Onew *covers face* :D

[chelamasen.livejournal.com]

But Onew though!!! Precious bb <3!!!

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

Jeebus. Is this a permanent thing? Cuz like... I know this'll be expensive as heck, but if this is still there when I go back then I'm totally going.

Oh god. Better start saving now.

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

idk what this is but i want to go for shinee. i will pay however much for shinee stuff.
