Welcome Party for 3rd K Supporters [Buzz Korea]

The 3^rd K performance supporter’s party was arranged on March 20^th, 2014 in VIPS near myeongdong by the Korea Tourism Organization. It was a most awaited party since there was no activity from KTO since January 2014. Like previous year the best K Supporters have to get some prizes for their outstanding performance all the way in 2013. We were offered a nice buffet in dinner with plenty of foods, drinks and sweet dishes. The newly appointed K Supporters for session-3 seemed very energetic with smiles on their faces. Unlike previous session food was nice but the overall management was really disappointing. The seats arrangements were not proper. It didn’t seem from any point that it is a welcome party for the K Supporters or prize distribution ceremony for the talented bloggers.  There was a haphazard all around. The prize distribution ceremony was performed in the KABOOM Theater which not a suitable place to do this kind of events.

I think KTO has learned that no matter what you offered and how you treated the K Supporter’s they are writing blogs for you. I have a quick compare of both the sessions of K Supporters. In previous sessions they offered some nice programs outside Seoul and overnight stay at weekends (Like Yeosu & F1 formula race). This time too I was expecting the same response from them but they didn’t offer those opportunities. Although there were some big events like previous years in different cities of Korea. Now In the K Supporters Session-3 they are offering free tickets only to you and not to our friends. This again is a discouraging act from the KTO. I would strongly recommend KTO to reconsider their decision of providing just one ticket to K Supporters.

It is always believed to get some honor in response to your work for any agency or organization. Look, the K Supporters are spending their time and money to cover the events and write their blogs and survey. They deserved to be awarded with some more attractive prizes including Travel cards, hotel vouchers, cameras and cash prizes big amounts). There should be a special events like the, “Buzz Korea Awards “fully covered by media and the high officials of the Korean Tourism Organization for the prize distribution. This is how the K Supporters would feel privileged. This time the ceremony was much worse than the previous one. It seemed like they were in hurry to finish the event. Any how I would looking forward to have some new performances.

Being the K-1 Supporter of session-1 and K-2^nd supporter for the session-3 I believed these suggestions should be taken positively to make the K Performance Supporters session-3 a better choice for all the supporters.

Welcome to the newly joined supporters…. J
