The fan meet started abruptly with our favorite five-some (Jong Kook, Gary, Ji Hyo, Haha, Suk Jin) making their grand entrance onto stage to the well-known Boys Over Flowers OST. If I recall correctly I'm pretty sure Haha was meant to be Gu Jun Pyo with a baseball cap and a large oversized fur coat. I have to say that when it comes to live entertainment and on-the-ball creativity, everyone'd have no look no further than our 1.7m tall 'F4' leader!
Besides bringing the laughter, the RM members were well-prepared for a majority of interview questions. Kim Jong Kook revealed that he has been to Singapore shores not just once or twice but three whole times! He was an amazing crowd-charmer throughout the entire performance and was able to converse in English at least 90% of the time.

Here's a little bit of that Kookie modesty I really liked:
"KJK, I heard you always win at games, don't you? So do you like to win?"
KJK: "Well I'm a very generous person, so I can afford not to."
Short RM Fan-meet Introduction Video I snagged:

Never a bad thing to be competitive though. I'd say that he was the member most comfortable amongst the fans.

And what would a RM event be without some of that Monday Couple goodness? One of the highlights of the night was definitely Gary and Jihyo's rendition of LeeSsang's "Turned Off The Tv" (By the way, is anybody else excited for LeeSsang's sold-out concert to happen this month?). Ji Hyo also made the crowd go wild by calmly stating that she did find Gary Handsome. In fact, Ji Hyo showcased quite a bit of her personality that night. One particular instance not to be missed is her belting out a verse of KJK's "Lovable"! (Encore Video below).

Our beloved Race-Starter, Ji Suk Jin, performed his own rendition of (of course) "I Swear" which really set the stage for the next couple of performances. Haha tore it up with his own hit songs like "Rosa" and "Busan Vacance". The guy's energy level was honestly off the charts. Haha got the fans to their feet in a matter of seconds (which can be a debatable feat here in Singapore) and retained all that energy right up to the RM's encore performance. If there was anybody that knew how to work a stage, that person'd be one Ha Dong Hoon.
Skull & Haha's Busan Vacance:
Kim Jong Kook's voice soothed the crowd with his infamous "One Man" and "Today More Than Yesterday" performances. Those are two of my favorite k-pop songs, in all honesty. He also showed us just why he has retained the nickname 'Sparta' all these years by snagging a few wins for himself and his lucky fan partner across a variety of different games.
KJK's One Man:
KJK's Today More Than Yesterday:
Of course, the RM members were as sensible and generous as always. A clear indication was definitely their grateful performance in the tug-of-war game where the five of them were pitted against a small handful of fans that consisted mostly of girls (9/10 of them were girls, if I remember correctly). They let the fans win more than a couple of rounds and were always happy to pose for pictures between and after every game.
Well, I've said enough. Enjoy the RM Encore performance video and I do apologize for that whole 'turning the camera back into the crowd' trick I tried about twice in the video. We have a lot of KJK-Haha Bromance in there, RM Member's solo dances and, of course, Mong Ji's adorable Lovable cover! Check it out and I apologize once again for the lackluster quality. Remember - it was taken by a fan for a fan!
