Nice article:

Strangely I did see the riot police but thought it was just pre show publicity :o

PS As the show has now been going for two weeks when is BETM Korea getting moved to its own section??????

Really doing BETM Publicity in a big way!

Post by tzwicky »

The Magistella BETM people are doing publicity and PR in a big way!!!! Kudos to them (and I never doubted you guys for a moment [well, maybe a smidge]).

The videos alone are a bonanza along with the still shots from the group photos for the dance magazine.

I'll assume all this PR filters down to intended audience in South Korea and that area of the world. Obviously, it's all going to filter down to us BETM nutters, but that's always the case.

Dunno how long that photo shoot took, but the Billys were looking sooooooo sleepy there at the table, somnolence just oozed from my computer monitor.

The Billy Boys remain a touchy-feely lot in Seoul.

When Magistella puts together a super-saver package for fans in the Eastern Time Zone, I'll be at the front of the line. LA to Seoul fares are not as insane as I imagined they would be, though the flight time from Miami to Seoul (through Detroit of all places!!) is 18.5 hours. That's harsh even for a "BETM at The Mother Church" fanatic.

Thanks for those behind the scenes glimpses of being Billy in South Korea. The producers there are doing a wonderful job of promoting the show and the boys are obviously having the times of their lives.

With some of those moves, you can certainly see a future Billy in the making :lol:

Forum member sctwins has written an article which includes a "progress report" on how the Korean production is doing. The article also outlines a "Day in the Life of Billy". Interesting stuff. Great job, Cha!
