Welcome chingus to the 12 days of Soompi Winterland. how has the year been for you? challenging? difficult? as we get closer to winding up this year, we have come up with a series of events that we hope will lift your spirit and give you some cheer. part clue hunt and part finding your gift, this event will take you through various threads of Soompi.

 

Here are the instructions along with example:

Spoiler

How will it work? for 12 (alternate) days, (look at schedule), we will post a clue.

Schedule:

Spoiler

day 1 - december 1

day 2 - december 3

day 3 - december 5

day 4 - december 7

day 5 - december 9

day 6 - december 11

day 7 - december 13

day 8 - december 15

day 9 - december 17

day 10 - december 19

day 11 - december 21
day 12 - december 23 (close of event)

 

the clue will have some hint about the actor/drama/section and a page number of the thread to look under. you are free to discuss here on the thread and help each other. once you find the goodies, which will be hidden under a spoiler on a post on the thread, come back here and tell us that you found it. also, let us know how you liked the goodies. you can also return the gift by gifting something to the community along similar lines. tag your chingus and send them your love. it is all about cheering each other on and celebrating the Soompi community which has helped so many of us by really getting through this year especially.

 

Here is the example: (you can imagine the song in the background - "On the first day of christmas, my true love gave to me....")

clue: "once upon a time, I decided to go for a trip to winterland to find my favourite oppa. I entered winterland. I asked someone if they knew where he could be and was told that he was most likely playing in a video game arcade. I sighed. why do I feel like a character waiting for the king to come rescue me at the traffic signal galloping on a horse? while I wait patiently at a bus stop at zone 3, I eat 3 pieces of fried chicken. I wanted some banana milk but there was none"

 

confused? hahahahah... so let's break it down, shall we?

video game arcade, traffic signal galloping on a horse - is a reference to an actor. can you guess which one that is?

Spoiler

Lee Min Ho!
his upcoming drama is called Pachinko which is a type of video game in Japan. in his last drama, the King, he was galloping on a horse in a scene....

 

now you have options to search in several threads -- his different dramas, his actor thread, shippers section... which section to look? we have divided the sections of soompi into different zones

Spoiler

zone 1 - hangout
zone 2 - kpop
zone 3 - kdrama & movies
zone 4 - sitcoms, variety & reality
zone 5 - actors & actresses
zone 6 - shippers paradise
zone 7 - global entertainment

 

since the clue has given you the zone, now which page to look at through the threads?

look at the food and again there are several options -- it can be together, add, subtract. (30 or  3+0 or 3-0)

so the answer is...

Spoiler

.... page 3 of Pachinko drama thread!

the post we have borrowed a little space will have a christmas banner and under the spoiler button, you will find some theme goodies. did you like the gifts and wishes? :D

 

 

 

Here is the first day clue to get you started on this month long treasure hunt. go, go, go!

Day 1
Clue: On the first day of winterland, I was waiting at the bus stop at zone 3 and hoping to meet oppa. there was a song on the radio where the 110th caller would get a prize. I called the radio station but I missed it by 2 slots. waaaaah. then, a girl next to me started singing to cheer me up. she shared that she was waiting for her ajusshi. I was excited till I found out she worked in a hotel that catered to ghosts. what?? I was so happy when my bus came. oppa, where are you?!

 

Day 2

Clue: While I was waiting for oppa in the cold I decided to go into a bar in zone 3 to warm my hands. I ordered a coffee - it only cost me 115 wons. Or was it one won more or less?
To my surprise a band was playing. Oh, how I wish they'd sing "Last Christmas" or "All I Want For Christmas Is You" but they weren't taking requests. When more than one of the band mates got phone calls and suddenly left the bar in a hurry, I decided it was time for me to continue my search for oppa! Aloha!

 

Day 3

clue - when I got outside the bar, the wind was howling a little and I wondered if it would snow. would I be warm enough? well I had packed 1 jacket, 4 sweaters and 5 pairs of woolen socks. so even if I should get wet, I should be warm enough right? feeling a little chilly, I dived into a bookshop nearby that seemed to serving tea. as I sat down on the table, I noticed that someone had left a note behind. it was so romantic! the note read -- "you are my endless love! even if three lifetimes pass, I will not forget you! will you walk with me through the lanes of blossoms?" I was squealing when the waitress placed a cup of peach tea and I showed her the note. she smiled and told me she knew the white haired gentleman who left this note for his lady love and will pass along the note when the regular dropped in. the waitress then shared the park was absolutely stunning and is a must visit for any tourist; a park filled with miles of fruit trees from China. wow! I looked through my guidebook and saw there were parks in both zone 6 and 7. I was wondering which one to go and notice there was a bus leaving to zone 7 in 20 minutes. I made my choice -- I had to see this park!

 

Day 4

After having become inspired by the beautiful park I had just visited,I thought about my family and friends. I could come up with at least 5000 reasons why having friends in your life is so meaningful. I was thinking how nice it would be to have a meal and chat with them about oppas and dramas.:heart:
As I was still waiting for oppa (seems he's really busy today), I decided to meet up with them. Zone 1 has some really good restaurants, and I was only 860 meters away from my favorite chicken restaurant. Looking for oppa is hard work - I needed food. And maybe some abs...

 

Day 5

After relaxing with friends, I was ready to go searching for my oppa. I heard from a friend that he might be in a famous department store in Zone 3. This department store is known for its sequinned jackets and has bustling branches in zone 5 and 6. I was tempted to go shopping but, I kept my focus on meeting oppa. hahaha! So off I hopped on a bus to Zone 3 but halfway through the bus had a breakdown. So the driver asked us to sit by a restaurant. I ordered a bowl of noodles for 50 won and some soda for 4 won. On the shelf were some books donated by visitors. Bored and wanting to pass my time, I took up one of the books and was totally engrossed. A romance between two para-gliders? It was so romantic! The hero sounded like a real looker with his dimples!

 

Day 6

After having read about Mr Dimples, all I could think about was my oppa.... I was getting tired. It was cold outside and it felt like I had been walking for almost 20 km. Would I have to walk another 179 km before I would find him? Sigh....
While walking in zone 2, I stumbled upon a store with a giant donut on top of the roof! Hmmm...I wonder if they sell donuts? Ooh, but to my surprise it was a record store!
Lots of oppas inside, but would I find my oppa here? :love:

 

Day 7

There were some cuties at the record store but it was not my oppa. sigh! so I asked them if they knew where I could meet him. They said maybe go back to zone 3? waaah, I feel like I am walking in circles. I couldn't figure out how to leave zone 2 and so I ended up back at the information booth. The halmoni there told me a sleigh will arrive in half hour and to sit with her till then. She gave me some hot chocolate and just started yakking. I was mostly nodding till she started talking about herself. it turns out that she fell madly in love at 17 and was so happy. but a few years later, things changed and she had to go through a painful divorce. friends told her that if she wants to find another relationship, she needs to be a cunning single lady. what on earth does that mean? she however ignored them and decided to hang out with her siblings and enjoy her family. I asked "like in a weekend drama?" she laughed and nodded. she shared that sometimes, it can feel impossible but love can find you once again. you just have to be willing to wait. my heart was warmed at hearing her story and I wanted to chat more, but the sleigh had arrived and it was time for me to go.

 

Day 8

I felt the need to pamper myself after my sleigh ride. The cold weather was taking a toll on my skin, and I wanted to make sure I would look young and pretty for oppa.
I had heard of a famous beauty salon on Drama Street 350 in zone 5, and decided to head there. As I was getting my VIP beauty treatment the beautician started gossiping. Her friend had met a random guy while traveling and had ended up getting pregnant after a one-night stand with him. The two had been forced to get married despite not loving each other. Seems the guy had even been cheating on his girlfriend. Yikes!
What kind of fate was that for the poor woman? Thank goodness she looked extremely youthful for her age - she would have no problem finding herself a new husband.
In any case, boy, was I glad that my oppa wasn't like that guy - 1 more reason to like him so much.

 

Day 9

After the salon treatment and hearing random gossip, I felt so rejuvenated. Since I was in zone 5 already, I thought I would check out a musical at the famed theatre. I checked what was available and there was a play about an alien falling in love. what kind of love story is that? that didn't sound at all like my kind of romance. so I left to go shopping but someone bumped into me and dropped their coffee. what was awful was he didn't even apologize! I was so miffed that I yelled "yaaa! do you think it is okay to walk off like that without apologizing? it is not okay!" then he got embarrassed and agreed to pay my dry cleaning bill and paid me 3000 won. I dropped off the jacket at the dry cleaners and they said it would be ready in a bit. with the change, I treated myself to a lovely purse for 265 won. sometimes, a girl needs to treat herself!  

 

Day 10

It wasn't long until I would meet oppa and get to spend Christmas with him. :love:
As I was exiting the department store a TV caught my eye. They were airing a drama, and I decided to watch it for a while as it was only 5 pm and I had time to spare. What a scary drama - the villain was especially chilling. He seemed to be anything but a good manager to his employees. Very undateable too despite his hot abs. Suddenly I felt sleepy and was wondering if I should take a short nap. I saw a comfy chair in a cafe in zone 3, and it didn't take long until I was fast asleep...

 

Day 11

After I woke up from a nap, I decided it was time to focus on finding oppa. I heard some cheers and laughing and saw a large crowd near the parking lot of the cafe. it looked like a marathon and people were clapping as the runners passed by. I asked where was the finishing point and was told that I have to go to zone 4. apparently, this zone was known for its fun games and competitions and sometimes people from zone 3 went over and participated. it made me wonder if oppa was participating in this run as it looked like something he would like. hoping to catch oppa, I took a train to zone 4. I was standing on the road and checking out the runners to see if any were oppa. a cutie grinned and waved at me as he neared the finish line. I giggled and asked who was runner 488. the girl next to me told me that he he had been a night courier but then quit to manage a convenience store in the backstreets of zone 3. whatever his job, it was fun to watch him finish his run. his cute smile totally melted me.

 

Day 12

In my search for oppa, I felt as resilient as the runners I had just seen. Suddenly I got a text on my phone. It was from my handsome oppa!!!

Oppa wrote: "Where are you? Didn't you get my message earlier? I've been waiting for you all day. It's almost 9 pm already. Come to the agency in zone 3. "
I hopped into a taxi that was coming out of a tunnel. I should have known oppa was at work today! Oppa had always been a hard worker despite being a chaebol heir. He had been a bodyguard and detective before his current job. In his free time he liked to DJ and visit art museums. His latest hobby was cooking - especially pasta dishes.
Finally I would meet oppa and get to spend Christmas with him! Oppa, I'm on my way!
:wow1:

Ohh, so if we ask, you will give us more clues?  Cool. 

How I wish I can seek Zoppa to help us here @partyon , hehe. 

Sure it's meant to be fun and not competitive , else it will kill the Xmas spirits of sharing and giving.  How I wish we can bring back the gifting of points ,  I remember receiving some points from kind chingus to allow us to buy badges.  

I need to go back to that goodie bags later.  Looking forward to more SURPRISES (the goodies , hehe)

kekeke....should we change the wish to "we hope someone as handsome as PSJ would pour a shot for you?" ahahahha...

 

here is a glass of christmas wine for chingus. this time of year, many friends of ours make homemade wine and then gift them. sigh, this year, that isn't happening. well, we can always have virtual ones no?

The first mission was easy. Thank you. I am bad at this type of game but I find the clue easily.

 

Spoiler

I did not watched Hotel de Luna but the clue was for some of us who did not watch the drama to figure out. :D

i'm sure they can still drop them on doorsteps, no?

 

this year definitely much lesser friends gatherings and a lot of online shoppings.. i sent out quite a few christmas gifts via online shopping platforms to my friends too. let's keep the festive spirits up!

great suggestion @MayanEcho ~ we will note that for bonus clue. @partyon and myself are not really skilled with writing very difficult clues and so it should mostly be medium or easy level. :sweatingbullets: but if it is unexpectedly hard, do let us know! @larus @madmad min ~ yay, you figured it out! :)

 

@corey ~ no worries, we are using the form of a random story to write out these clues. just imagine someone entering a theme park on a quest to meet her favourite oppa and get an autograph and on that journey, she has different stories. hahahah... so that is the kind of idea.

 

P.S ~ if chingus want to know on how to break down day 1 clue and figure it out, let us know and we will put that in later today/tomorrow.

Glad that you like the event! Our next clue will be out on Thursday! You will get new clues every second day.
Please let us know if you find the clues too easy or too hard. :kiss_wink:

 

Also, we have changed our DPs to reflect the holiday spirit this month. Feel free to do the same if you wish. :kiss_wink:
