suehan: I just want to summarize the blogger’s posting because he mostly explained the pictures to introduce the restaurant. He said that this restaurant appeared in many Korean dramas including ‘Pasta’, and the name, ‘Insitu’, is Italian and it means ‘here’ or ‘at this place’.
According to him, BYJ visited there on February 17, 2010, and I think he got the date from BYJ’s picture below. The address of the restaurant’s website is http://www.insitu.co.kr/

Hmmmm... As far as I could remember, my last Sakura viewing party was way back 1984, co'z every time I went back to Japan was not Sakura season.

[DATV Event] Manager Yang's Talk
[DATV Event] Manager Yang's Talk
Fuyuka posted her account on today’s DATV event. She went to the session from 1 o’clock, whereas I went to the 5 o’clock one. As I found what Manager Yang said was pretty much the same and her memory was much better than mine, so I translated her account, hehe.
Original in Japanese FUYUKA's BLOG
Translated in English: Cloud nine/ BYJ QUILT
(Thanks to both of you , my dear sisters)
DATV 6-month Anniversary Event
I went to this event. It was sunny today, but was cold.
At Sangenchaya I changed the trains to Setagaya line.
On the way I had a relaxing and heartwarming feelings somehow.
It’s been a while I took a local train like this.
(cloud nine: it is tiny little trains of 2 cars)
The venue was a 5-minute walk from Shoinjinja mae station.
Here we are at Setagaya Ward Hall.
So many people were already there.
Then the session started from 1 o’clock.
Miss Miyamoto, DATV announcer appeared on the stage,
followed by DATV CEO who greeted and apologized for the mishap
saying he was so sorry for the trouble
and now the company was doing its best to cope with the matter.
He continued that DATV has received various opinions
and they would like to present the events and contents
that everyone can enjoy more.
Then the unreleased scene from a making video
of ‘A Journey To trace the beauty of Korea’ was screened.
The scene that Yong Joon and a monk were sweeping with the bamboo brooms
set an audience roaring with laughter since Yon-sama looked clumsy with the broom.
Was it a ten to fifteen minutes video?
Then Manager Yang came up to the stage, which caused a flood of flashlights…
(As Miss Miyamoto said “Really amazing flashlights~~”.
I guess that shooting was not banned.
There was no notice about it either, so I have posted the pictures here.)
“I’m sorry that we were unable to visit each everyone (in the hospital).
We are praying that they will recover as soon as possible.”
“I haven’t actually seen Yong Joon clean his room (laugh), but his room is always tidy.”
“When I visit him to his house, he welcomes me with the snacks, tea and meals. He always clears away. (laugh)
“He cooks shabu-shabu or spaghetti or something like that.”
“He likes bland taste and dislikes instant foods.”
“So he was happy with the meals at the temple.”
“What he was bad at? Maybe love? “ (big laugh)
“That’s why he is not married. I’m just joking.”
“We started to talk about love since I got married.
He asked me if I was happy to be married." (laugh)
“I answered that it was good.”
“After I got married, he never calls me after nine o’clock." (laugh)
Manager Yang met BYJ about ten years ago.
“My first impression was ‘He was handsome.’ “
“I think he grew old a little, but at that time he was more handsome.”
“As his manager the work that I was impressed most is WLS.”
“It was hard work indeed and I still keep the down jacket I wore at that time so that I won’t forget those days.
The North Face jacket which Yong Joon bought me.”
“He is mischievous and sometimes plays with my kid.
My daughter knows that Yong Joon is handsomer and richer. (laugh)
Just a joke…(laugh) “
“Lastly as for his work, I’m very sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time.” “It’s all my fault.”
“We wish to decide the next work soon and start working.”
There was a Q&A session
(cloud nine: I attended the 5pm session, and there was no Q&A)
To the question of “How is Yong Joon-ssi?”
He just answered “He is fine.”
(Leny: It's very relieving to know that BYJ's fine now.)
There was also a request that fans wanted a message or some words,
even as short as four (Yon) lines.
He answered that he would pass the request to Yong Joon.
This is what I remember from the notes I took, so if there is something wrong I’m sorry.
But he told us a story of such nuance.
It was about an hour event.
I had a good time to meet many sisters after a while.
These are the goods we got with the 2,000-yen ticket.
"My Friend Yonsama" ....
March 23, 2010
Original in Korean: Woman Joongang Feb, 2010 issue.
Extracted by: Elain/byjintoronto.
Translated into English: Suehan/ suehan's byj blog
Hallyu Star Bae Yong Joon’s best friend who has a wide acquaintance, even though it’s unknown, in the entertainment field.
I talked about ‘Yonsama’ first when his name appeared in our conversation. Then, he gave me a hint by saying, “He doesn’t like to be called by that name when I used it in front of him.”, and “If you meet him, make sure to call him by his real name, not his nickname.” He added, “I don’t know how he looks, but basically, he feels the burdensome on the value of his name and he doesn’t like to show off. He was even mad at me by saying, ‘Yo, use my real name when you call me.’ when I called him as Yonsama as a joke over the phone.”
How does ‘a human being’ like Bae Yong Joon appear to him as a friend, not as a Hallyu Star? According to Ryu Seong Soo, he’s an average man in his late thirties who likes human beings and enjoys drinking occasionally. He said, “You would think that he chooses the people whom he wants to meet, doesn’t have good connection with others and never drinks. Am I right? No, you’re absolutely wrong. He likes to go here and there and meet other entertainers even though he wasn’t recognized. Maybe he is somewhere around here (Cheongdamdong). He has a technique that allows him to move around without being recognized, and most people think that he stays at home most time, but it’s not true (laugh)”.
Even to Ryu Seong Soo, his first impression of Bae Yong Joon was of a person who was ‘hard to get close to’ It was difficult for him to get close to BYJ when he approached him because he thought that BYJ couldn’t be good with others. But he saw BYJ’s humble thinking and good personality after he spent time with him, so they developed a relationship as friends.
They call each other in the morning, and go to the valley in the summer sometimes. But he can’t deny that he is careful and nervous because BYJ is a “Hallyu Star” now. He laughed with a joke, “His image shouldn’t be destroyed because of me.”
“Many people asked me about him like they asked Gong Hyeong Jin about Jang Dong Geon.” I’m proud to have a successful friend, but I’m cautious because he is a big top star. I don’t want to hurt his reputation because of my unnecessary talking (laugh)”

Another BYJ sightings

Translated in English: Suehan's byj blog (Thanks)
First,
April 24th, (suehan: I think it’s the date when Seoul-Choon Cheon Highway opened last year.), Saturday (suehan: Did she see him yesterday, Korea time? I’m not sure.), the highway has been opened a long time ago and we finally used it.
(ommitted)
I browsed the internet fast yesterday; Gapyong Rest Area has good reviews. Of course, we stopped by.
We finished eating, took some pictures, and then,
These days, what’s that called? Anyway, I saw a traditional Korean dress designer, Lee Hyo Jae ssi, who published a book Like Hyojae (?). Lee Hyo Jae ssi’s husband, Lim Dong Chang, is a brilliant but nutty pianist.
I don’t like that style because it looks too affectionate and unrealistic. But I kept watching her. It was funny when she asked me to take a picture with her.. hahaha
Yonsama was among that group. I captured a glimpse of him. Wow! Is it Yonsama?
I just passed by him..
Can you see him? Bae Yong Joon, behind my husband, is wearing black clothes, a black cap and a black muffler!! Can you believe me?
I looked at him carefully. The red arrow indicates Lee Hyojae (her face is shown clearly because she isn’t hiding it), and right next to her stands Yonsama! Until now, I wasn’t clear about it.
He is on the left side. I confirmed that he was Yonsama when I uploaded the picture.
But this wasn’t the end.
We hurried and headed to the famous restaurant, Yupori Makguksu (suehan: Noodle) House.
(suehan: We can assume that she saw him recently in March from the calendar in the picture)
They gave so much food; it got us so full. We had a vending machine coffee when we came out of the restaurant. We met them here again!!
What? Same route?
He was in mysterious black clothing: a black cap, sunglasses, and muffler. He was about a head taller than the others. His face was so small.
Even about 2-3 meters a far, I could see he had clear-cut features. It’s him. Bae! Yong! Joon! I was right. Right?
Only I saw him~ Only me! (My husband went to the restroom in this critical moment.)
A group of ten people and I were standing in front of the noodle house. I was by myself! What should I do~~
Talk to them? No? Take pictures? What if they complain? I was seriously contemplating for a while.
Hew. I couldn't decide what to do until they got in the car. I just watched them get in the car. I’m always like this.
I took pictures of their cars to comfort me.
The Black Land Rover which Yonsana got into already left so I took pictures of the BMW which Lee Hyo Jae ssi was in and another black car to its left.
How could I explain the beating of my heart at that moment?
He was really handsome.
He was handsome enough that even the Japanese Ajummas loved him.
Ah~~ I had fun~~
Wow~~ It was a fruitful day!
Leny: so lucky, lucky Lucy, seeing BYJ unexpectedly ... and so lucky , that she always travel and dine out with her hubby... me so envious again :(
And me, wondering why BYJ and Lee Hyo Jae still meet.
It’s a big hit. I saw Bae Yong Joon ssi. Excited X 100

(ommitted)
We arrived at the filming site after the twists and turns.
We waited at the basement, and we were called up to the fourth floor.
It was the last scene of the wedding scene.
There were only three children, so the director, assitant director, and staff were nice to us.
The children made noises, but they quieted down when they heard, “Action!”.
They were so nice. Hahaha
We were so happy when Bae Yong Joon ssi and Choi Ji Woo ssi came while we were in the middle of filming.
Of couse, big stars were different. Their atmospheres from their appearnces were different.
My eyestrain disappeared completely. It looked like it was my lucky day, not Yubin’s.
The filming started a little after 11:00, but ended at 4:00
The children were so happy, even though their mothers had leg and lower back pains.
Yubin did something that wasn’t in the script, but the director prasied and encouraged her to continue acting.
Actor Ryu Seong Soo ssi said that she had talent and praised her. For these reasons, it was a pleasant day which made the weariness dissappear.

It has been confirmed that all Japanese tourists, who were injured from the accident last week, returned to Japan safely after receiving treatment. Bae Yong Joon visited all of the hospitalized tourists and paid their medical expenses. He tried to settle the situation.

[Reposted Trans] Ryu Seung Soo talks about BYJ ..... (3)
Ryu Seung Soo talks about BYJ in his book, “Don’t be an actor like me” (3)
Original in Korean: Ryu Seung Soo
Translated into English: Suehan/suehan's byj
Identity of laziness wearing a dream down
It happened such a long time ago. I was depressed for a while for some reason. One day, my friend, Bae Yong Joon called me. We talked this and that, and suddenly he asked me about my bed time. I answered him honestly, because we have a close enough relationship to understand each other.
“I don’t work these days, so I go to bed at dawn.”
“Then, what time do you wake up?”
“In the afternoon.”
He responded to my answer regrettably, “If you wake up a little early, then you might have lots of work to do.’, so I responded lingeringly “Yo, I don’t have any work to do even if I wake up early.”, but he talked to me like a moral textbook.
“You have to make your own work by yourself. In my case, no one would be complaining to me if I go to bed and wake up late when I don’t have any schedule. However, I create work to do and try to spend my day prolifically. If you go on the internet and go to bed, then you just waste your life in vain and kill the days."
I couldn’t say anything on his comment. Even later on, the laziness was still next to me. I picked up the phone with a loud voice unconsciously trying to hide my laziness when he called me early in the morning. Of course, my friend smelled my production.
“Just use your quiet voice because I know you just woke up.”Ah.. There are no secrets in this world. I can’t help but to judge his passion, which I’m not able to pursue, towards life highly even though he is my friend.
The power of details
One day, I met Bae Yong Joon after the movie, “Secret Sunshine’ was released. He asked me whether I watched that movie. I commented without hesitation because I already watched it and was impressed.
Then, he asked me whether I remembered the scene that Jong Chan (Song Gang Ho) looked at Shin Ae (Jeon Do Yeon) screaming and crying in church, and how he was looking at her. Actually, the senior Song Gang Ho didn’t act in that scene. I remember that he just looked at her from a long distance and there wasn’t much acting from him.
But, he said that the senior Song Gang Ho’s acting was brilliant in that scene. He said that most actors probably tried to act someway in that scene, but Song acted very well without disturbing the other’s acting.
Days later, after I heard it from him, I met the senior Song Gang Ho. So, I related BYJ’s account on his acting to the senior, he said with a smile that initially, his position requested by the director was right behind crying Shin Ae. But he thought his emotion was different, so he suggested to the director that his emotion should be as far as possible. After discussion, he sat on that spot.
I think Jong Chan expressed his feelings of helplessness for Shin Ae whom he loved most efficiently.

Jaime: Hi hi sisters ...... an unknown fan has posted Yong Joon's words to the waiting family in the hotel before going to the hospital. Not sure if it's word by word, please just read the essence.
I am sorry, how should I say it? I do not have any words to express.
Today is supposed to be a happy day, and it turns out to be like this, I am deeply sorry.
I want to have pictures taken with the family who travel from afar, but it turns out this way, I apologize.
I heard that 20 people got injured, some are in more serious conditions.
I am not able to continue the photograph session with the family anymore.
Some day, I will find another opportunity to have our family picture taken again, that's what I hope to do.
The condition of the injured family is still not known, I have to visit them in the hospital now.
I am truly sorry, please give me your understanding, thank you.

BYJ and I became close friends since we worked for Winter Sonata. We kept in touch and took care of each other, and exchanged conversations about our daily lives. We got closer than before.
It happened a long time ago. We met after such a long time, so we were chatting, joking, and drinking our favorite wine. We had a cozy and leisurely afternoon.
Suddenly, YJ said that life is tough. Even though I’m close to him, I couldn’t understand him at all for a moment. I envied him because it seemed that he always had everything. But he said that life is tough. It’s ridiculous. In the beginning, I thought that he was joking, so I tried to get out from that moment with a smile.
On the other hand, I thought that it was just a boring whining from someone who had too much and it seemed that I was a little narrow hearted. Then, after a very short time, I realized that what he had said had a totally different meaning than I thought.
He implied that it was tough for him due to the emptiness from the sudden discharged passion of gap after the battle with the continuous passion towards ‘the goal’ and feelings from the lost coordinate. He said that the passion like endorphin came out continuously when he run for ‘the goal’, but he felt that that passion was exhausted at a certain moment. He seemed to have a suspicious mind about the uncertain future following the moment when he was close to the goal that he worked hard for with ‘passion’ and ‘effort’. Passion disappears? What does it mean? I asked to myself whether I always have passion for all of my work.
He always has been hard on himself inexorably since I’ve been watching him for a long time. I remembered the time when he tried weight training and diet for his photo book a while ago. At that time, I called him to have a meal with me, but he wanted to postpone it.
“I can’t eat everything now because I’m in diet. I got very sensitive from that, so probably I might be fretful if I meet you now.”
I thought, “Why does he live that way?”, but I knew that it came from my immature ignorance because I’ve never had sincere passions. If we can focus on something with passion, then we might have a happy life. Some might think that all of his achievements came from luck, but I disagree with them. I can be motivated to push myself when I see how he lives and works.
