The Yonsama that I met *words in bold*


*Female Narration*

Participating in the 24 Hour Television last year.
Also making an appearance in the drama 「Dream High」produced by Bae Yong Joon
Even Bae Yong Joon has expectations for this next generation Hallyu star, Kim Hyun Joong
What kind of person is the Yonsama that you have met?


Hello, this is Kim Hyun Joong *in Japanese*

Bae Yong Joon Sunbae gives everyone the impression that he is a very perfect, secretive person right?

But he is actually a very humanely and humorous person.

Saying interesting things that makes one slip… *laughs*

Anyway he is very sincere
Taking care of me like I’m his younger brother

As what everyone has feel about him
as someone who do not reveal his mysterious, personal side,
When you meet him you will understand about him full of humanity
And feel his friendliness

The most surprising part is his radical self management
And I also feel that he is an impressive person for his passion towards his work

My wish is…
Though fans probably would not want it

but

I wish for him to marry a wonderful woman. *laughs*

[Trans]BYJ purchased wooden furniture.

KOEX Living Design Fair – Exhibition

(omitted)


This is the audio desk which I wanted to have most, so I hesitated to leave. Designer Han Seong Jae’s work. He currently studies wooden furniture at Hongik University Graduate School. His idea is amazing.

I think I have an eye.
Because I heard that Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon ssi already made a contract to buy this furniture.
Its price is 5,500,000 won. Somehow, I feel like it is inexpensive, because it’s worth that much.

[Trans]BYJ was seen at the exhibition.

Reposted from Suehan's blog (thanks)

suehan: The blogger didn’t indicate when BYJ visited the exhibition, but she posted this picture on March 25th. I read some tweets saying BYJ bought some of Chae’s works and the exhibition was held privately in Gangnam-gu in Seoul.
At Chae Seong Pil’s Exhibition.

Let’s take a breath with these two close people between the pictures of Chae’s works. ^^
The one on the left is close to me personally through wine rather than through his publicity
He can stay up all night talking about wine. No comment!^^
He was heart-broken about Japan’s recent situation.
The artist, Chae Seong Pil makes us feel comfortable and familiar because of his round moon like face. (hehe)
Attorney Pyo is not in the picture.

Some Updates from Keyeast about BYJ


Much thanks to bb ♥ for the updates she shared @ Loveyongjoon that she just received direct from KEYEAST today.

ABOUT WURI YJ’s HEALTH

KE: He is getting better than back then. But as you probably know, whoever suffers from neck injury has to care and tend to it consistently (*bb: believe they’re referring to the therapy sessions, etc). But you don’t have to worry too much about that. He is in good condition.



ABOUT YJ’s NEW WORK

KE: YJ wants to meet his family on the big screen or TV too. But for now, I’m sorry to tell you that nothing has been fixed yet. But something’s gonna be fixed sometime in the future. Do look out for updates through the homepage.

ABOUT THE FAMILY PHOTO-TAKING PROJECT

KE: Unfortunately, this project will have to be suspended for a while. There are many reasons you know, eg. BYJ’s health, Dream high, Japan’s earth quake etc etc. We’re gonna re-start the project as soon as we possibly can. But at this point, it’s hard to tell when it will be started again. I’m sorry.

ABOUT Tea Loft @Lotte Hotel

(*bb: i suppose many of you would have read SUEHAN’s BLOGS POST about the closure of Tea Loft? so sad, so sad, so sad…! i really loved going to Tea Loft whenever i visited seoul! the strange thing is the notice about the closure has not been put up anywhere, and in the GORILLAKITCHEN SITE, the contact info and operating hours of Tea Loft are still there…)

KE: Unfortunately Tea Loft has closed as you know. However, the homepage has not been updated yet. Tea Loft was operational up until 31st Dec 2010.

[Info]Tea Loft is closed

Seen this info from Suehan's blog, sad but perhaps they have another plan.

suehan: I found some postings on the internet regarding closing of Tea Loft which was located on the 14th floor of Lotte Hotel in Seoul. I was curious about it since it received excellent evaluations from Koreans and I also heard that their business was doing well. Some Korean fans in byjintoronto confirmed its closing. I believe it’s been closed as of December 31st, 2010.

Kim Soo Hyun was touched

A repost from: Suehan's blog ( thanks sis)
Trans by: Suehan

[News]Kim Soo Hyun, “I was touched by the multi-vitamin present from (Bae) Yong Joon hyeong.”

NTN 2011-03-18 19:08

Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon’s student, actor Kim Soo Hyun belongs to Keyeast like Bae Yong Joon. He was a part of the main cast who created “Samdong-ache” by appearing as a genius music student, Samdong, in the drama, “Dream High” which Bae Yong Joon and Park Jin Young participated in. That’s why his relationship with Bae Yong Joon is different than with the others.

Kim Soo Hyun hasn’t forgotten to talk about Bae Yong Joon at the recent interviews with this company. He hasn’t appear in the scenes with Bae Yong Joon in “Dream High,” not even one scene.

“I haven’t had any scenes where I appear with him in ‘Dream High.’ So, I’ve never had a chance to meet him in front of the camera. But he continuously encourages me. He sent me text messages one by one while monitoring the drama. Most of them critiqued the scenes. I really appreciate that.”

Kim Soo Hyun shared one episode related to Bae Yong Joon with us with a big smile. “One day, Yong Joon hyeong said that my face was tired looking. After that, I went to the shooting site and saw his present of multi-vitamins. I was touched. I’m still taking them.”

Bae Yong Joon encouraged Kim Soo Hyun. Bae Yong Joon is somebody Kim Soo Hyun relied on.

“We had a conversation after the drama ended. He asked me about my feelings, and I answered with a positive response. Yong Joon hyeong said, “This is the most important time. You should share your love with others once you receive love from others. Please don’t forget modesty as well.” He helps me a lot.”

Kim Soo Hyun called Bae Yong Joon “Yong Joon hyeong” during the interview. " I was curious because Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder of Keyeast".
He said, I was scared when I saw Yong Joon hyeong for the first time. Managers scared me saying, “Be careful.”, as a joke. I introduced myself to him nervously. But he responded nicely by saying, “Oh, I know you.” Since then, I opened my mind little by little and began to call him hyeong. Actually, once I asked him how I should call him because of his high position, CEO. But he said, “Call me as you would like” (laugh).

Kim Soo Hyun learned a lot from Bae Yong Joon by being near him. So he didn’t miss Bae Yong Joon’s name in discussion of his role models.

“I like Christopher Waltz in the movie, “Inglourious Basterds” I wanted to become an actor like him right after I watched the movie. Of course, Yong Joon hyeong is my role model in Korea. I’d like to learn his ability to be perfect.”

He attached wings on his back with “Dream High” It’s Kim Soo Hyun whom we expect today, rather than yesterday, and tomorrow rather than today, since he is preparing perfectly to fly farther than anybody else with those wings.

[Repost] KBS TV is currently discussing “Dream High” season 2.


[News] KBS TV is currently discussing “Dream High” season 2.
Original : http://twssg.blogspot.com/ (thanks sisters)

KBS is currently in the works of finalizing a deal for another season of its hit drama series “Dream High.” According to KBS officials, new season of musical TV series “Dream High 2” is already in the early planning stages for its second season, under the goal of airing it as early as January 2012.

Before the first season of “Dream High” got aired, many questioned its quality of acting and storyline, as it involved a lot of idol stars with little acting experience. But as the show went on, the idol star cast displayed improved acting skills and the plot turned out to be quite interesting, resulting in the show garnering an average TV rating of 15.7%, which was the highest rating in the Monday-Tuesday prime time slots.

"We are looking into a new season of 'Dream High' in a positive light. We can't confirm the news since everything is in its planning stages," an official from Holym said.

"Dream High," which for two months this year starting early January, was about the dreams of students who attend a performing arts school aimed at cultivating celebrities.

The show starred Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun, idol singers Bae Suzy from girl group miss A, Ham Eun-jung from T-ara, Ok Taecyeon and Jang Wooyoung from boy band 2PM and songstress IU.

The series was a joint production between top entertainment firms KEYEAST and JYP Entertainment. It brought in viewership ratings in the 18 to 20 percent range and has been sold to several countries in Asia including Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam and Cambodia and Thailand.

[News] AB - "The composure of a successful man"

Trans by: Suehan @ Suehan's BYJ blog (thanks a lot sis)

Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon’s photos became a topic.

[Reporter Kwak Seol Rim]


Bae Yong Joon
showed his sensible and mild style for the first time since he recovered from a ruptured cervical disc, which recurred during the recent drama shooting. These are the photos of Analdo Bassini’s summer fashion, which Bae Yong Joon works as a main model, with the concept of “the composure and romance of a successful man”.


Through these photos, Bae Yong Joon showed his mythical and sensible mood, well-matched with warm sunshine at a vacation spot. It was shot by the best photographer in Korea, Hong Jang Hyun. Bae Yong Joon showed “the composure of a successful man," which is the concept of the advertisement, perfectly in a casual jacket and suit. It is evaluated that he presented a new fashion guideline.


It’s said that Bae Yong Joon received praises from his staff for his young look image, which can’t be estimated by his age and slim body, consisting of only muscle.

[News] GACKT organizes charity “SHOW YOUR HEART” for the earthquake.

Cr: tokyohive / Roytavan @ twssg blog

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.
