SATURDAY NIGHT FULFILLED WITH SWEET INTERACTIONS BY TAY TAWAN IN GMMTV FANDAY5 INDONESIA

It’s the very first time that Tay Tawan visited Indonesia for his fanmeeting agenda, which obviously became a long awaited event for ‘Polca‘ and ‘Chaoban‘ (Tay Tawan’s fanclub). Shout out to Lumina Entertainment who held his first fanmeeting! 

Studio in Epicentrum XXI full with the energy shared by the audience who patiently waited Tay Tawan appeared on the stage. Colourful lightstick brought by audiences can be seen as well as several hand banners written with spirit for Tay Tawan. The event began on time, and Tay Tawan appeared with his handsome smile and greeted audiences all around the section. No need a long time to figure out that Tay Tawan had extremely great fan service from the very beginning of his appearance. He focused on responding to the greeting from fans by waving back to them and gave a little love sign gesture. Tay Tawan sang ‘Invisible Tears’ from Soundtrack of ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ as the opening song. As expected, the audience also sang along with Tay Tawan, enhancing the warm vibe in that moment.

“Selamat Pagi…. Ehm, Selamat Malam” greeted Tay Tawan while he corrected the greeting.

He asked the MC how to say thank you in Indonesian and he added, “Terima kasih!” waving his hand to the audience who came to his fan meeting on that saturday night.

Talk show session started, Tay Tawan shared to audiences that it was his third time coming to Indonesia but the other two was just his private schedule for vacation. So, for this fan meeting he was really happy to meet all of the fans who supported him endlessly. In the meantime, as Tay Tawan always gave a straight sight to the audience one by one, he pointed to a hand banner from one of the fans written in Thai and pleased the fans to give the hand banner for him to read. Tay Tawan said thank you for all the beautiful messages through the hand banner that came from fans.  

When mentioned about the most memorable things from Indonesia, Tay Tawan said when he thought about it, it always reminded him of the scenery, ayam goreng (as this is Tay Tawan’s favorite food), and Polca (his fans). Tay Tawan has one destination on his bucket list to visit, it is Ubud in Bali, Indonesia. He also asked the audiences who want to accompany him to Ubud and for the payback he will take a great picture of his ‘travel buddy’ as Tay Tawan known to have a big passion in photography. The audience got whipped and screamed each of their names wished to be recognized by Tay Tawan as his lucky ‘travel buddy’.

It ‘s time for the game challenge and for Tay Tawan he expected to guess the picture behind each number came from a fish bowl and tell a bit story of that photo. First photo was somewhere in Bhutan as Tay Tawan said it was the most memorable trip that he ever had. Second photo was Green Canyon in Indonesia as Tay Tawan also mentioned interesting activities there such as walk climbing. Third photo was Japan but sadly he totally forgot which place is in there photo. Fourth was Chiang Mai in Thailand, he encouraged fans to visit Chiang Mai at least one time when travel to Thailand because there are a lot of trendy places, cafe hopping, nature scenery, and also the culture. Last but not least, it was a photo of the Moon which was very detailed and zoomed in with a professional camera.

Tay Tawan added his sweetness in the gift making session and for this chance he decorated five cupcakes for five lucky fans. As he wanted to personalize the gift, he then decorated five different designs like heart sign, sunshine, sunflower, and etc. Five lucky fans called one by one near the stage and lots of fans were nervous when handed the cupcake directly from Tay Tawan while taking a selfie with him. Once the last calling lucky fans, Tay Tawan said it was destiny as the last cupcakes is the designs of girl with glasses which match with the fans. How cute!

Tay Tawan sang another song titled ‘First Love’ from Soundtrack of the movie ‘My Precious’. 

QnA session started with more specific questions. Tay Tawan shared his favorite idol are Alicia Keys, Shawn Mendes, and BLACKPINK. Even he loved music so much, he does not have any specific favorite genre as he loved to explore a lot of genre. Tay Tawan was amazed with Indonesian food because he likes spicy food and for him the spiciness in Indonesian food matches with him. He shared that he tried Ayam Pop, Dendeng, Udang Pedas, Telur Dadar, and Alpukat Kocok. As seen there, Tay Tawan really enjoyed his trip and fan meeting in Indonesia.

Fan projects played in the meantime as the event came to an end. Tay Tawan also thanked the audience for giving him a memorable fan meeting and hoped to give the fans his best for every project that he did. 

Much thanks to Lumina Entertainment and GMMTV for making this happen. Will look forward to the next events!
