Boys Over Flowers (꽃보다男子) Piano Books are now available.

I've seen many requests on the net for the piano sheets for 리가 나빠서 (Because Im Stupid) by SS501 and although I did find one online, I found the chords to be a bit strange and didn't come out right. Good news though, the piano books by Music Tree are out! You can find them in Kyobo books store in Gwanghwamun in Seoul. There are 2 versions. There are some overlap of songs but as the books were only KRW10,000 I got them both and got a free poster.

There are some nice pics for the fans in there. The best pic is the one that Ji Hoo took with Jan Di at the park when they entered the competition for best looking couple. Here are what the books look like.

i want to buy both of the books..but i'm from malaysia..do u know where i can get the books ?? thx

I'm sorry I don't know where you would find the books in Malaysia. I was in KL in May and noticed the BOF had just started their DVD sales there.

You could try some online Music Sheets stores. I could buy them and post them to Malaysia for you at a small fee but I am not sure what postage is going to be like.

Also, you know what Malaysian post is like... not totally reliable. Let me know if you want me to look into it.

Do you know where I could find the first book http://www.kyobobook.co.kr/product/detailViewKor.laf?ejkGb=KOR&mallGb=KOR&barcode=9788962960310&orderClick=LAG in a English website? I want to buy this book but I cannot read Korean.. Is there anyway you could help me out? Thanks a lot!

There are several hurdles associated with buying online in Korea.
1) You have to have an alien registration number (think of it as identification or the American equivalent of a social security number);
2) Most websites are in Korean (I can take you all the way to check out but you need to have part 1 and 3);
3) You can only pay with a Korean credit card which comes with a security chip that comes with a USB device that you need to insert into the computer, or by bank transfer from a local bank account, or direct from your ATM machine).

So unless you are able to satisfy all the above criteria, buying online can be a pain in the ar$e. I tried to look for it on an English online shop (www.gmarket.co.kr) but unfortunately they do not stock the piano books.

The only option is as mentioned in my answer to Celine's comment.

Sounds like an good idea, but how much would the small fee be?

I found a seller on eBay selling Vol II of the piano book. If you check the sellers other items, they may also have the first book. S/he is selling for US$18.99 plus a shipping fee of $10.40 (Total is about KRW36,000) See link below:

As an alternative, in answer to your question, the books are KRW10,000 (It is printed on the back of the book) and I will charge an additional KRW5,000 for getting and posting. Postage is an additional cost. I will charge whatever the post office will charge to send to you.

I will let you know the postage before hand so you can decide whether you want to go for it. So total would be KRW15,000 plus whatever postage is.

Do you know how much postage would be it were sent to United States and the state Irving, Texas?

Gerry said...

Sorry, I have no idea. I don't go to the post office often. I imagine there would be a standard fee based on weight to the U.S.

You can find the book (the first and second one) on www.koreapop.com
They're both 19.98 (US).

Sorry, I couldn't really figure some of the notes when you scanned Because I'm stupid. But thanks very much ^_^
