The Fifth Unit of La Poem La View: La View's giveaway

How La Views celebrate a La Poem's concert day.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that La Views are the fifth member of La Poem. 

Most La Views are women in their forties to sixties (although there are males and much younger and older La Views as well). La Views are caring fans, always trying to find ways to help and promote La Poem's growth. Such a character is displayed on La Poem's concert days. They not only celebrate La Poem's concerts with their ticket purchase at the speed of light, but also share hand- or custom-made goods with one another on a concert day. 

Na-num items at the Duo Concert. 

A La Poem's concert day is a La View's na-num (나눔) day. I'd like to use the Korean word "na-num" rather than "giveaway" because I can feel the warmth the word conveys. 

When a La Poem's concert comes closer and closer, La Views are busy with making things to give away on the concert day. With this na-num done for one another, La Views develop solidarity and encourage various kinds of promotion work for La Poem. 

Some items are made together. The hand fans (as shown below) are made by three La Views. It includes a QR code that directs La Views to a webpage that shows how to collect hearts for La Poem official online fan cafe. The number of hearts each fan cafe collects a day plays a large role in determining a rank of the cafe. Currently, La Poem fan cafe is ranked 6th in Daum. For the postcards, a La View 미술여행(misulyeohang) drew the portraits of Chaehoon and Sunghoon. Two La Views 마법사최카테(MabupsaChoiCate) and Mariamore turned the paintings into postcards and distributed a stack of them on a concert day.

I am laying out several na-num items below. In fact, more items than these were given away so far across three concerts from the Busan, Duo, to Seoul Arts Center (SAC) concerts.

I never prepared for any items myself. Honestly, it never came to my mind. Because of that, I am just amazed whenever I come across such items representing La Views' passionate hearts toward La Poem and their generosity. In fact, some La Views have great hand-skills. I feel that it makes no sense to distribute them for free. 빨강나무(PpalgangNamu)'s handmade items were probably the most popular ones. The picture shows her giveaway items including name pins, key rings, mask lanyards, and bracelets.

Despite all these nice items, I only wanted to have one thing, handkerchief. For some reason, I couldn't jump into asking for those nice goods. However, I wanted to have lavender-colored handkerchief on which the names "La Poem" and "La View" were printed. I'm a handkerchief user. This is a custom-ordered product by a La View 엔진을켜둘께(EngineulKyeodulge). On a wet evening, she was waiting for me quite a while at SAC to give me handkerchief in person. When I approached her, she made sure that I was the right person to meet, giving it to me, and then walking to the concert hall. One thing is that it happened very briefly, and another is that we couldn't see each other clearly due to the masks both of us being wearing. I am not sure if I can recognize her in the future when I have another chance to see her. For all that, the connection we have begun to build in the name of La View is so precious. I was deeply touched by many La Views' good deeds.

Wait a minute! One more heart-warming deed: A La View 애플망고(AppleMango) sent a box of scones to those who were giving away on the wet SAC concert day. What a considerate La View she is!
