[Fancafe] 100430 Heechul Entry at Kiseki



Title: Family Outing2
Date/Time: 2010.04.30 / 01:10 am

The notice came out today, everyone is showing surprise, awaiting for it, and they’re also showing worries..
Like, what everyone knows, I have become the permanent member of Family Outing 2!!
papapapa* (clapping sound)^-^
During these time, I bear with don’t go to variety shows, so why is it so sudden?!
There are many fans that asked (for it)!! I actually used to talk blindly and think about it in all ways,
ㅡAlso, thinking while watching other works.. Since you only live for a lifetimeㅡfeels that you have to live with loyalty,
And because I value the age, therefore I think it’s important to be loyal,
And there are a lot of parts that like me like this~?ㅋㅋ And also,
When I first debuted at “X-man” I didn’t know anything, even before SJ debut, but PD took care of me a lot;
I was named “the Acting Genius” and also was officially called “Pretty Man”!! hu..
Now my age(ㅠ_ㅠ)
After that, I have been on many shows, and already knew hyung for 5 years^-^
I also want to continue acting, and I’m more worried about my image than anyone else
Just like what I said, I have to create my own future.. no one can’t replace my life for me
So, no matter how is my image, what should I do to be right, I pulled my hair everyday to think(T-T) Really, there isn’t nothing that I’ve never done.. It’s like this..

Acting
Stage
Variety Show
DJ
Musical

I had perfectly digest all the one listed above.. Looking at me and asking like that..
“In every exam (you) will dream of getting 100. But 100 isn’t that easy to achieve just like you are dreaming..
If the grades isn’t good, (you) will receive many blames, even though grades means nothing.
Even if it is the case, also can’t give up while crying.
Need to achieve 100 and need to keep improving, isn’t a fool also,
can’t keep repeating the same mistake in life
Further more, I’m also not the one at the bottom? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
I answered this way and the people who heard it went “oh.. these words are cool -ah?”
Saying like that ㅋㅋ
This seems like the right way to say it but, when you look at it on the other way, it becomes a proud way of saying. I really did many things during these 5 years, it’s happy and is tough also..
This (career) really suits me?.. So serious that I thought of giving up..
My inner heart has never relaxed, is always in anxiety (worrying) Travelling around while doing overseas concerts really widen my insight and let me gain many experiences
Now, it’s like getting a globe as a present, andㅡhas to spin it one round and see it like aㅡkid. “Wah~ really broad.. there are really many people on Earth.. wah..”
(My) Thoughts also became more broad-minded. Why~
Don’t close the door when you’re in the room and instead has to open it, isn’t there such a saying?
Because you can see a broader floor board so why do must (you) close the door?
When humans are doing things, which is the better one?.. and cannot shout for a pause.
I’m sleepy now so, whatever that I’m writing, it’s ambiguous to me too..

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Joining Family Outing 2, I will complete the 100 marks test.
Of course, I’m not sure which grades I’ll can get ㅋㅋ
When everyone is on exams, no one will think “I must finish the 50 marks test”
I’m really thankful to the crew that choosen me~ and I can understand that (they) have a level of trust on me.
I’m really thankful to the people that agreed to let me join (Family Outing2)~ This playground that you guys created toughly, I just need to join it and play^-^ If the eyes are close, of course you can’t see anything
If one eye is openㅡthen (you) can see many things
If both eyes are open you can seeㅡeverything.. No one will not understand this, right? ㅋ
Don’t open only half of your heartㅡit will be good if you treat everything as Famille rose**^-^
What have been done in the past.. What have been seen in the past… What have been lived in the past…
Must do it happily!!
And also
Me too, let you all have the common feeling!! I’m only the extraordinary bread (?)
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

T/N Famille rose **
Famille rose (also known as fencai or ruan cai, meaning ‘soft colours’, and later as yang cai, meaning ‘foreign colours’) was introduced during the reign of Kangxi (1654–1722), possibly around 1720. It used mainly pink or purple and remained popular throughout the 18th and the 19th centuries.
Famille rose enamel ware allows a greater range of colour and tone than was previously possible, enabling the depiction of more complex images, including flowers, figures and insects.
It is made by drawing a sketch on the shaped clay, which is then covered with ‘glassy white’ (bo li bai), an opaque white enamel (lead arsenate), and painted in detail with the mixture of pigment and oil, before firing.

[Video] Yuri,Soo Young & Yoona transform into Rappers for Haha Mong!

SNSD's Soo Young,Yuri and Yoona show off rapping skills on Haha Mong Show.

Although their rapping skills are not as impressive as other female rappers but their raps are at least funny.A brief translation about their raps here.

"The three of them were addressing especially Seungri and at the end also Daesung. Yuri is rapping how Seungri is in the same college as her and that he promised her (in an interview) that he will introduce her to guys on the campus but he still hasn't done that. Then Sooyoung says that Yuri has been waiting a long time already for him to do that. XD Sooyoung also tells SeungRi that even though he is a sunbae in terms of debuting, but now he's her hoobae at college and she was also teasing Yuri that she is her hoobae (while Yuri is older) and then Yuri kept on saying sunbaenim to SY. Yoona was saying something about being friends with Seungri (since he is the same age as her) She also said something about Seungri greeting her and then Yuri asked why doesn't he greet you? and then Sooyoung said something to Daesung. She just said Daesung and then she corrected herself and said Daesung shi. XD She said she can't speak informal to him (cuz before she was talking informal to Seungri but it's ok since they are the same age)."

[News] Rain and JYP 'faceoff'



Korean pop singer Rain, who is arguably the biggest sensation throughout Asia, made "a slip of the tongue" during a TV show, which incurred a response from another formidable pop musician, Park Jing-young or better known as "JYP" among his fans.

Rain recently made a remark: "I already surpassed Park Jin-young," a statement that could be interpreted as a sign of confidence or arrogance, depending on how it was seen.

During a show, aired by SBS on Friday, Rain said he received a personal text message from Park after the remark.

Park shot back to Rain: "Am I your jumping board?" said Newsen.com Saturday.

Judging that his remark might have irked Park's anger, Rain came to his defense, by apologizing to Park. "Oh, no∼ there was misunderstanding," Newsen. Com cited him as saying.

Park said: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" it said.

But Park apparently took Rain's comment in good faith. He later told Rain. "No worries. I enjoyed it."

Park is one of Korea's best pop musicians, who is well known for his talents in singing, dancing, song-writing since 1994. He later extended music career by forming JYP Entertainment, a production company in 1999 which is one of the biggest talent and music producing companies in South Korea.

Great talents like Jinju, G.O.D., Byul, Lim Jeong Hee, Min, Noel, Ivy, Park Ji-yoon and Rain all got their start there.

U-KISS has officially starting the promotion of their 1st full album's follow-up song.

On the April 30th broadcast of KBS 2TV Music Bank, they have resumed their 1st album promotion activities by performing their follow-up song entitled '뭐라고 What'.

However, 3 weeks after the incident, they are finally back on stage to entertain the viewers.

Follow-up song '뭐라고 What' is created by Brave Brothers specially as U-KISS title song for their 1st full album before 'Bingeul Bingeul' was selected at the end.

With the recent resume activities starting from April 30th onwards, U-KISS will present the newly remix version of '뭐라고 What' through online site such as Melon, Box, Cyworld etc, as well for the main broadcasts. They hope that the song will enter high in various broadcast and online music charts.

The agency's official said "Even though that they could only promote this song in music program for such a short time due to the unfortunate event, but they will stay active in each broadcasting channel, and they will show the viewers their cool side too."

Until now, boy groups such as DBSK, SS501 etc.. have been promoting in Japan and had huge success but we are worried how Girl Groups will do in Japan, people think that it won't be that successful. But, in Japan, there are already 4Minute fans, so the promotions will still take place and that the promotions will be successful. Universal Studio Companies are supporting Japan, so that's why there might be another reason for being successful.

Wonder Girls will be releasing a new album on the 16th of May simultaneously around the world including the US. They will start a tour for their album promotions starting with their first concert in Live Nation. The tour will be known as "Wonder World Tour".

The tour is scheduled around to go to 20 destinations in the US.

[news] Are female idols pressured too much to stay skinny and thin?



Lately, a lot of netizens online are criticizing and scrutinizing female idols and their weight.

Most netizens stereotype female idol celebrities as perfect and by perfect I mean: Skinny, Pretty, perfect complexion, silky hair, Curvy, a beautiful face and a less than normal weight. Any idol's seen with a small imperfection are immediately talked a lot online making news and making issue's.

Here are some of the famous celebrities who have been scrutinized for having "belly fat" or being scrutinized by their weight.

1. Goo Hara of KARA
She has been on a lot of issues after being named having an "Ant waist" as she was seen with such a tiny waist for their "Mister" promotions, but on the music video for Lupin she was sitting down and was being pointed at having "belly fat".



Fans said that it's ridiculous to call that belly fat and it was just because she wore tight pants and was sitting down and it was just "Skin" not belly fat, Goo Hara replied to the issue saying that she was happy she was contributing to the fame of Kara's Music video.




Goo Hara has one of the smallest waist "20 inches" and this is due to her petite physic and small bone structure. This is normal for her even though she eats a lot she doesnt gain much weight, this is because of genes and her metabolism.

2. Park Bom of 2ne1
Park Bom has been scrutinized several times already on her weight. Unlike Goo Hara, Park Bom has more meat in her an has a bigger physic than Hara. Park Bom likes to eat corn and bread which packs a lot of carbs and a no-no to girls on diets. She has to constantly work out to stay fit.



Despite her attempts to stay fit, Park Bom is known for being the "sexy" girl in the group with her outfits always revealing her legs with skin tight short dresses and short shorts, still netizens call her fat despite the circumstances. And yes I have heard a lot of people commenting she looks fat.




Park Bom has it difficult maintaining her figure but she is also one of the sexiest girls on Kpop especially with her honey thighs.





3. Tiffany of SNSD
Tiffany has been on several issue's regarding her weight, but most recently, Fans said she needed to work out more after seeing her with a joint stage with 2pm for the Year end shows. Tiffany was criticized for having belly fat wearing a skin tight jeans and revealing part of her belly.




Tiffany has been defended by fans saying that she was wearing skinny jeans and that skinny jean's exaggerates your body fat. Despite being called for several times for having "fat" in her, Tiffany still prides that she still has the right figure and is at her best.




4. Nicole of KARA
Although she wasn't criticized a lot by fans, she said that she needed to loose weight cause she has a fuller figure than some idols. Plus, her best friend Key from SHINee kept on bugging her to loose weight~ So I guess now we know where she got the motivation!



And for their Lupin comeback, she shed a lot of weight.




5. Taeyeon of SNSD
Recently, she has been criticized by fans because of her "belly fat" during their concert in China where Chinese fans uploaded a photo of her showing her "belly fat"




Fans said that she was wearing really tight jeans defending her from netizens accusing taeyeon having belly fat. Having a little body fat on her doesn't make her fat right? Plus, I dont think one picture will take down Taeyeon.




A lot of Idol's go on rigorous diet and excessive exercise just to keep fit. Remember SNSD on the issue that their daily calorie intake was lower than the normal and healthy calorie intake of girls their age?

Although these celebrities are just human which sometimes netizens tend to forget, they are pressured to be more than perfect to be found of no fault in order please the public and excel in terms of appearance, Why you would ask?

Because, that is their Job.

It is part of their job being celebrities to be on the top, having talents and skills that not all average human has.


Even though, My point is that, it's sometimes hypocritical to hate on girl to be fat when you yourself have your own imperfections. People tend to criticize idol's and their figure saying bad things in order to boost their self esteem. Isn't it a little to hard for the idol's to be called names and pointed fingers at just because some people have issue's on their self-respect?

It just goes to show that when you point a finger at someone, you don't realize that there are three more fingers pointing back at you.

These criticism's on female Kpop idol's aren't constructive criticism anymore, its something beyond that. But no matter what there will always be issue's on kpop idols it's just on this particular issue, it's getting out of hand and uncalled for.
