22/06/1999 Michael visits "Everland"
Today, Michael left the Shilla Hotel at 12:45 a.m.
He went to Tower Records for a little shopping spree. He bought several
CDs there, including a Charlie Chaplin compilation and an Aretha
Franklin album. While in the record shop, Michael watched two fans
(from France and from Germany) dance for him.
At 2 p.m., Michael left the store and went to "Everland", an amusement
park 1 hour away from the center of Seoul.
At 3 p.m., Michael started his visit of "Everland". He was wearing his
sunglasses and holding an umbrella to protect him from the sun. Michael
was conspicuously wearing golden sandals.
Fans were allowed to follow Michael everywhere, provided they would
stand behind a security rope.
After walking a few minutes into the park, Michael went inside a little
theatre where a welcome party was held for him.
Afterwards, he tried a few attractions, such as the Horror House.
Michael did the rest of the visit in a small golf car.
At the end of the visit, Michael attended a special show that
"Everland" had put together for him. Sitting underneath a wide
umbrella, next to handicapped children, he watched a drum performance,
a little play by the "Everland" characters and a choir performance by
40 children. They sang "Heal The World" and the "Everland" theme song.
For the finale, two little girls asked Michael to come on stage but his
umbrella couldn't be found so he had to decline the invitation.
At 4:30 p.m., Michael left the park and went to a meeting with
representants of an orphanage.
