[NEWS] "Yong Junhyung·Goo Hara bracelet, it's not for couples"



[Quote]

그룹 '비스트' 용준형(23)과 '카라' 구하라(21)의 '커플팔찌'로 27일 밤부터 주목받은 팔찌는 커플팔찌가 아니라는 주장이 나왔다.

용준형의 일부 팬들은 "용준형의 팔찌는 두 사람이 커플팔찌로 맞춘 것이 아니라 지난해 12월19일 용준형의 생일을 맞아 팬들이 준 소원팔찌"라면서 "구하라의 팔찌에는 길게 내려오는 것이 있지만 용준형 것에게는 그런 것이 없다. 전혀 다른 디자인"이라고 지적했다.

소원팔찌는 팔찌를 처음 낄 때부터 매일 특정한 소원을 말하면 팔찌가 닳아서 끊어진 뒤 그 소원이 이뤄진다는 팔찌다.

이들 팬은 "오히려 구하라의 팔찌는 다른 '비스트' 멤버인 양요섭, 장현승 것과 같은 디자인인데 그럼 그들과 사귄다는 얘기냐"면서 "'빅뱅' 권지용(지드래곤), '티아라' 효민도 같은 팔찌를 차고 있는데 그건 또 뭐냐"고 설명하기도 했다. 이들은 양요섭(22) 등이 팔찌를 착용한 사진을 찾아 인터넷에 게재해놓고 자신들이 옳다고 강조하고 있다.

한편, 27일 커뮤니티 게시판에는 '용준형-구하라 커플팔찌야?'라는 제목으로 비스트의 팬들이 찍은 용준형의 사진과 SBS TV '인기가요' MC인 구하라의 모습을 캡처한 사진을 나란히 놓은 게시물이 올랐다. 사진 속 두 사람은 오른팔에 모두 실버팔찌를 착용하고 있어 지난해 1월 연인 사이임을 밝힌 이들의 커플팔찌라는 해석이 나왔다.

TRANS :

Group 'BEAST' Yong Junhyung(23) and 'KARA' Goo Hara(21) 'couple bracelets' since the night of 27th, has been receiving many arguments of that it is in fact, not a couple bracelet.

Some fans of Yong Junhyung says that "Yong Junhyung's bracelet is not for two people couple bracelet but it's actually a birthday bracelet that fans gave him on Yong Junhyung's birthday on the 19th of December," and added "Goo Hara's bracelet seems a little bit longer down but it is not the same as Yong Junhyung's. It's a completely different design."

The wish bracelet is a bracelet where it has to be worn every day since the first time you wish on it or it will be broken.

The fans added "Other than Goo Hara, other 'Beast' members, Yang Yoseob, Jang Hyunseung also have the same design of bracelets and are you saying that he's also having a relationship with them" and added "'Big Bang' Kwon Jiyong (G-Dragon), 'T-ara' Hyomin also have the same kind of bracelet, how about that". To stressed that they are right, picture of Yang Yoseob(22) wearing that bracelet was also uploaded on the internet.

However, on the 27th on a community board, fantaken pictures of Yong Junhyung and screenshots of SBS TV 'Inkigayo' of Goo Hara MC-ing that was put side by side, with the tittle 'Yong Junhyung-Goo Hara couple bracelet?' what had captured the interest of many.

Both of them in the picture were wearing a silver bracelets and some interpreted that they are wearing couple bracelet.
