It’s been revealed that GACKT has organized an emergency charity, “SHOW YOUR HEART“, to raise disaster relief funds for the 2011 Japanese earthquake.

As the representative for “SHOW YOUR HEART”, GACKT stated, “We decided to organize the charity as it was something that even we could start [in order to help]. We want everyone to lend us their strength. Although individuals may not be able to do much, if everyone works together, it becomes a lot of power. In this sort of time, we need to have the courage to lend a helping hand.”

On the “SHOW YOUR HEART” official webpage, many celebrities, including Shinya (from LUNA SEA), Fujiwara Norika, DAIGO (from BREAKERZ), and Haruna Ai, have left supportive messages.

Donations can be made through a direct deposit in Japan to the “SHOW YOUR HEART” bank account. The funds collected will be distributed to victims through the Japanese Red Cross and local community associations.

Bae Yong Joon recently stood up to donate to those that suffered from Japan’s horrific earthquake that occurred last week.

Having a high status in Japan, ‘Yon-sama’ owes a lot of his popularity from his Japanese fans, and with a gracious heart, he has decided to give away 1,000,000,000 WON, which comes up to approximately $900,000 USD.

Bae Yong Joon’s company, Keyeast, recently stated, “After hearing that Japan had limited relief supplies and equipment, Bae Yong Joon quickly reacted and donated 1,000,000,000WON for emergency support, hoping for a speedier recovery. The money will be given through the Japan Tourism Agency, who will distribute it to organizations involved in the earthquake/tsunami relief effort. Bae Yong Joon is also very worried about the victims who are in shortage of food and basic living supplies so he has decided to provide food, blankets, and other items as well.”

Bae Yong Joon is not the only actor who is donating money to the neighboring country, as Kim Hyun Joong, Jang Geun Suk, Ryu Si Won, Song Seung Hun, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Seo Jin and Choi Ji Woo who are also receiving much love in Japan, have decided to give away $100,000 and $120,000 respectively. The latter left a message stating, “I hope that the victims can return to their normal life soon.”

[News] BYJ donates 1 bil. won for Japan quake & other celebrities

Yonsama donates 1 bil. won for Japan quake

"Korean 'hallyu' celebrities reach out to victims in cyberspace

Korean “hallyu” stars including actor Bae Yong-joon are expressing their condolences to Japanese earthquake victims via donations and Twitter messages.

Bae, affectionately called Yonsama by fans in the neighboring country, gave 1 billion won to a Japanese governmental organization, Monday, said his agency Key East.

The endowment is intended to provide displaced victims with first aid kits, meals and other daily necessities, said the agency. “Mr. Bae was very concerned when he heard how victims are under inadequate conditions, without enough food or water in this cold weather. He insisted that the cash gift be used first and foremost for emergency relief such as foodstuff, blankets and other essential items.”

“My heart aches to hear about the increasing damage and aftershocks. I will look for the best way to help,” Bae wrote on his official Japanese website Monday morning, prior to making the bequest.

Meanwhile, singer-actor Kim Hyun-joong also gave 100 million won to his Japanese agency DA, asking that it be used for aid relief. “It’s a small sum, but I pray for a fast recovery and I hope it can help victims,” he said. Kim returned safely back home Saturday from Japan, where promotional events for his TV series “Naughty Kiss” were cancelled.

Jang Geun-suk also offered 10 million yen (some 137 million won) to the Japanese Red Cross. It remains to be seen whether the actor’s upcoming March 27 event in Tokyo, in which he was slated to meet some 20,000 Japanese fans, will take place.

A local rock festival will also make contributions. All proceeds for Rock Dog Korea 2011, which will take place in Hongdae V-Hall on Saturday, will be donated to aid relief.

In the meantime, Taiji, a former member of the popular Japanese rock group X Japan, will not feature in the event due to circumstances concerning the earthquake. Other programs in the festival will be held as scheduled, according to the organizers. The festival also plans to create a banner featuring messages from festival goers and send it to Japan.

Singer-actor Ryu Shi-won told Yonhap News that he is composing a letter to Japanese fans and is thinking of ways to help victims, such as through a donation.

Many other stars are expressing their concern in cyberspace.

On Sunday, movie star Lee Byung-hun wrote messages of hope on his online website, while others shared their thoughts through Twitter. Boy band JYJ member Kim Jun-su, who returned from a photo shoot in Japan on Saturday, said, “Japan is our closest neighboring country, and their pain is ours. Let us pray all together as one.”

Actor Park Shin-yang wrote messages in Japanese and English: “Can’t believe what has happened to my friends of JAPAN! I’d like to send my deepest condolences to all the victims affected by the earthquake... and hope the aftershocks will calm down soon. Wish you all the best! GANBATTE!”

Pop star BoA twittered in English, “Heard about Japan earthquake, and especially Tokyo got huge earthquake.. Hope everybody’s OK....”

Park Joong-hoon, who starred in the local tsunami film “Haeundae,” remarked that the disaster in Japan “is much more horrendous than the movie” and prayed for the victims.

Rocker Kim Jong-suh, whose family lives in Japan, informed fans through the social networking tool that his family is safe. “I hope there will be no more damage in our neighboring country,” he wrote.

Taekyeon of pop group 2PM and Nam Ji-hyeon of girl band 4Minute, as well as rock star Yoon Do-hyun and other local celebrities also voiced their worries.

To the victims of Tohoku Taiheiyo Coast earthquake

(BYJ’s message translated into Japanese)

Today I hesitate to start with the regular greetings such as ‘Hello, this is Bae Yong Joon’. Watching the news about the earthquake on 11th, I can’t take my eyes off the television screen. Because I’m very much worried about not only you, my family, but also all the victims of the earthquake.

More and more damages are being reported and I am deeply troubled by the news of continuous aftershocks, too. All I can do is to watch the news and I feel helpless.

Whatever I do, I don’t think I can heal wounds and pains, but I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences to the earthquake and tsunami victims. I really wish that the secondary disasters and accidents will not occur anymore.

Having been in such troubles even in the past, I understand that you have overcome quickly and calmly. With the great interest and support from all over the world, I truly wish that you will live through this difficult situation to restore peaceful days as soon as possible.

At the same time, I am currently considering the best course I can do.

Offering fervent prayers, my Korean family and hope to see you again in good spirits.

Bae Yong Joon

东北太平洋沿岸地震の被灾者の方々へ（ペ・ヨンジュンメッセージ日本语翻訳）

いつもさせていただいているような「こんにちは、ペ・ヨンジュンです」というご挨拶を今日は気軽には差し上げにくいです。

さる11日に発生した东北太平洋沿岸地震のニュースを拝见し、家族の皆様の安否はもちろん、被灾されたすべての皆様の安否がとても心配でテレビの前を离れることができません。

被害の规模が刻々と大きくなっており、また、余震が続いているニュースに心を痛めております。ニュースをただ见守ることしかできず、无力さを感じております。

今は何をしても伤と痛みを愈して差し上げることができないですが、今回の地震と津波で被灾された方々やそのご家族の方々に哀悼の意を心からささげます。これから、二次灾害や事故による被害が起きないことを切に愿っております。

过去にもこのような困难な状况にあっても、すばやく冷静に乗り越えられてきたことと思います。全世界の方々の関心と支援の中で、一日も早くこの困难な状况を乗り越え、安心して过ごせる日を迎えられることを心よりお祈り申し上げます。

元気な姿でまたお会いできることを私も韩国の家族も一心でお祈りしております。

Going out…dining with staff☆
8 March 2011

(tomato: this is an excerpt from the posting.)

I received recent update on Bae Yong Joon-san last night, so I would like to share it today.

It is reported that Bae Yong Joon-san dined with Keyeast staff and their family at “Gorilla in the Kitchen (alias Gorilla),” last Sunday.

I had blogged last time that he had taken deliveries, but he may be getting bored staying home now.

Our most concern is his condition, it’s still not at best to do any physical training, but it’s “Okay!” for daily life, it seems he is making fair recovery.

BYJ was hoping to enjoy leisurely meal with Keyeast staff…
However, they had hard time with staff’s children (there were about 5 kids approximately ages 2 to 5), they were running around in the restaurant.
But, it seems BYJ was enjoying everything including all the hustle.

“You are all younger than me and having family and children, you guys are great…”
BYJ was joking and making everyone laugh.

After the meal, BYJ and children walked to “Dosan Park,” a park located in front of the Gorilla, and they were having much fun.

It seems BYJ is getting better every day, let’s hope that he will be all well soon.

Birthday Message from BYJ.

It's Posoku san's Birthday celebration and she shared her cute cake and balloon (photo only) on her blog. She shared and posted too BYJ's message for her from her mobile.

Happy Birthday Sis !!!!!

Her post was translated by Suehan from Japanese to English (thanks).
Here, read ...

I believe most of you already know that byj sends birthday messages to members who joined his mobile site in Japan. Posoku nim posted a birthday message and pictures that she received on her birthday on her blog (http://ameblo.jp/posoku-joon-37/). Here is the birthday message that I translated. Again, I used a Japanese to Korean translation website. So if there is any mistakes, please let me know.

Happy birthday to you.
I hope you have a happy and blessed day.
Don’t forget to pray when you blow out the candles on the cake.
I’ll also pray for your wish come true.
Again, I truly congratulate you on your birthday.

Bae Yong Joon

Here are the pictures that were sent by the byj mobile site to posoku nim who posted them on her blog. She said that the pictures were blurry since they were captured on a cellular phone

She also shared that the byj mobile site will continue to send birthday messages and photos instead of vods because of BYJ’s hospitalization this year.
