Housewife Grabs Bae Drank Glass

He drank from this… so housewife, 50, grabs it
This is the glass that Bae Yong Joon drank from.
So declared a visibly-excited Mrs Etsuko Sakamoto - for the third time in five minutes.
The New Paper spotted the 50-year-old Japanese housewife at the April Snow media conference yesterday.
Mrs Etsuko Sakamoto proudly showing off the glass that Bae had drunk from. Such a resourceful fan was she, she managed to sneak in. She also pulled a favour with a hotel staff member to hand her the wine glass that bore her idol’s lip prints.
Mind you, there was still unfinished water in it, but she carefully covered it with a plastic bag anyway.
‘This is the first time I managed to get something that he’s touched before, so I will frame it up and keep it as a souvenir,’ she said proudly, after showing it off to a group of Korean reporters and also two passersby.
That’s not all.
MOVED TO SEOUL
Mrs Sakamoto became such a hardcore fan after watching Yong Joon’s hit drama, Winter Sonata, that she moved to Seoul last November to chase her idol - with the blessings and company of her retired husband, that is.
The cheerful woman also enrolled in a Korean language class so that she can converse with her idol in his mother tongue, and has met him 30 times since.
Of course she followed him to the quiet town of Samcheok, where April Snow was filmed, together with four other fans.
‘We spoke to him many times. He’d ask us in Japanese, ‘Are you cold?’, or ‘Are you all right?’,’ she said.
‘Then I’ll reply in Korean, ‘It’s okay.’ ‘
What does her husband have to say about her love for Yong Joon?
‘He tells me to just go and do it, it’s okay.’
