West Ham United's Official Airline Partner EVA Air flew in two lucky Hammers from South Korea to enjoy the ultimate fan experience at our final home game of the season against Nottingham Forest earlier this month.
Wookseok You and DongHeyon Kim, both members of the Korean Hammers - an Official Supporters' Club of the Irons - enjoyed the trip of a lifetime to east London as they got to cheer on their heroes on the hallowed London Stadium turf.
After being whisked from the airport to London Stadium in an iconic Black Cab, they were met by social media influencer - and fellow Hammer - Stevo the Madman to begin their authentic East End experience.
After a spot of sightseeing, it was time to enjoy some classic East End grub, Pie & Mash and Jellied Eels, before washing the meal down with a drink at the famous Boleyn Tavern in Upton Park.
A VIP tour of the Rush Green training ground, topped off by a surprise meet and greet with Andy Irving, Carlos Soler and Guido Rodrîguez, and presentation of a signed shirt for each of them, had them warmed up for matchday perfectly.
The surprises kept on coming once they got to London Stadium, with seats in Club London hospitality, meetings with Jarrod Bowen, Mark Noble and Marlon Harewood, a pitchside visit, and post-match presentation to Aaron Wan-Bissaka of the Official Supporters' Clubs Player of the Year trophy.
It left the pair lost for words as they tried to sum up an unforgettable experience.
"I can't believe what's happened on our trip! It's the best present in my life," said You.
"I couldn't sleep before the game because I was too excited, then I was lost for words when I met Marlon Harewood, Mark Noble and Jarrod Bowen.
"Thank you yo the Club, and EVA Air, for giving me some unforgettable memories."
Kim added: "West Ham is my life, so it's been a very good experience.
"A very big thank you. Come on you Irons!"
