Hyung Jun Sings “Bad Girl, Good Girl” @ Music High

I promised myself to tune in to Hyung Jun’s radio program, Music High, every night, especially Friday nights because that’s when he does hi parodies. Last night, I almost forgot and remembered only 15 minutes before the show ended. Good thing he did the parody last. This time he sang Ohgeulsong’s (Miss A) “Bad Girl, Good Girl.” Haha! Maknae’s so funny as always! I miss seeing him doing dances though, so I hope to he does livecam one of these days…

Hyung Jun Sings Curry @ Music High

These past few days, well except when there was a storm and it was brownout for a couple of nights, I make it a point to tune in to Hyung Jun’s radio program Music High. And last night, he sang along Norazo’s Curry. He sounded happy and funny, of course. I could just imagine him doing the dance steps, too. That would have been hilarious! Haha!

TS Japan Official Booklet – Q&A 2010 Spring

I know you’ve seen Hyun Joong’s and Jung Min’s translated parts floating around… here’s the translation with all of the boys’ answers… yes, all five of them!

Note: Please don’t get leader wrong with regards to what he said about the lost wallet. The translation states that Leader said that Jung Min lost his (leader’s) wallet and that it’s very frustrating. Lois found the scanned images of the booklet and here’s what Leader actually said “홍콩에서 정민이가 현금 2,000만원이 든 지갑을 잃어버려서 속상해하였다” and the actual translation should be “Jung Min got upset in Hong Kong cause he had lost his wallet which contains 20million won in cash there.” Thanks for Lois for clearing that up!

Rumors Have Wings

I slept with a heavy heart last night and I didn’t sleep well. My sleep was bothered although I was very tired, physically and mentally, but I still hoped to wake up to some good news. I somehow did.

To those of you who still choose not to believe… read the following quote. I’m not sure if this is really true or not but the source said that it came from JungMin and I choose to believe.

Words that Mal had Personally Told TWTS
2010.06.29 23:04

Mal and Baby had first signed with DSP.
It was only at the 5th anniversary
that the five learnt that DSP didn’t want to sign Kyu.
There’s no way SS501 could continue.

Hyun Joong requested that DSP sign with Kyu first before his signing the contract.
DSP refused.
Hyun Joong recommended that Kyu goes to YG.
……
So turned out everyone had to sign with different companies
and come next year,
the various companies to collaborate for them to release an album.

YS and Kyu are currently in Japan.
YS is negotiating the OST of some drama,
Kyu is in discussion with YG.

Mal had said this (same thing) to TS on the plane three times
that the five of them will release an album next year,
The reason why Hyun Joong signs with another company…
is to protect the other four, to protect SS501, and to protect the fans.
Coz DSP refused to sign with Kyu…
so Hyun Joong’s helping Kyu to sign with YG,
and Hyun Joong wanted DSP to sign with Kyu by threatening to sign with another agency.
Mal and Baby had initially thought everyone would be renewing their contracts,
so they had gone on ahead and signed first.

Mal further said…. they would be separated for this year…
but next year, they will continue to work together through different companies.

YS also said something like that….
that the five of them will continue on like this year after year…
the interpretation is that they would be working together again next year.
Coz so long as they’re missing just one member, that signifies the splitting up of SS501…
so Hyun Joong surfaced first to face everything.

After reading this, things started to make sense to me. Remember what the boys said during the Newton X-Concert? You can find the English translation here. Noticed how KyuJong told not to shoulder all the responsibilities alone and how maknae asked the fans to take care of KyuJong and to treasure him? Remember also that Kyu mentioned sometime ago that he’s having problems with their site, he can’t seem to access it? You can read it here (Liezle’s blog). Anyways, these are all just speculations but it really makes sense, right?

So, please, I ask you once again… don’t say anything more that’s going to hurt our dear leader Kim Hyun Joong. There’s a reason for his every step and decision, I’m pretty sure of this. We loved these guys not because of their charms, good looks and talent, we loved them for their personalities and their love for each other. So, please let us continue to love, support and trust in them. I know I sound like a broken record already but this is all we could do right now for them.

SS501 ♥ 5 Forever As 1 ♥ Triple S
Fighting!

[Video messages]

HyungJun:
The no. of fans seems to have decreased. It just seems that it has decreased?
Even though we feel sad, but we can only say thanks.
We’re sorry that we can only say “Thank You”
Thank you to all of the fans for cherishing us and taking care of us. Thank you. We’re sorry that we can only use these words to express our feelings.

YoungSaeng:
To the fans, we feel sorry about this album.
It’s not about the songs.
Firstly, we didn’t keep to our promise.
I’m sure you fans also know this, we have not had a 2nd album.
We did have a 1st album, but we are missing on the 2nd. I really feel very sorry about this.
And I wanted to thank the fans especially.

JungMin:
It’s enough to just always think of us SS501.
Although we are not perfect, but the 5 of us always work very hard.
You are giving your support to 5 such men.
Even though fans think that you have receive much love from us, but I always feel that we have gotten much more from the fans.
Our relationship is like lovers, seems liked 2 one-sided love or should I say, hurting one another?

KyuJong:
5 years is considered neither a long or short period of time.
We will have a even longer time ahead of us, creating and experiencing memories with the fans.
Even though there are a lot of fans cheering us on now and you might stay with us forever, but will still eventually get married and no. of fans will decrease.
Bbut for those who are supporting and cheering for us, I will continue singing..

HyunJoong:
Compared to Love Like This, the promotional period this time is even shorter.
I am very sorry.
We want to produce some totally new music, music that will make us very confident… how should I say?
Funny, why is it that I feel like tearing suddenly. (wipes tears)

[Messages @ Gurella Concert]

HyunJoong to JungMin:
We have known each other for 7 years.
1/3 of our life? about there. It’s neither long or short time.
Thanks for always being so serious.
Tthanks for always being our fan, for being the strong pillar for the 4 of us.
To the fans, no matter what we SS501 do, please believe in us.
With your belief in us, and with JungMin supporting us..
Please support us always.
Moral support.

KyuJong to HyunJoong

Like what HyunJoong said, we have spent a long time together.
Perhaps, even longer than the times we’ve spent with our parents.
From our teenage years to the early 20s.. HyunJoong has given us a lot of strength.
You have been always been supporting us, but you do not show it in front of us.
Now that we have grown older, please do not shoulder all responsibility alone. Our hearts ached for you.
Previously, you’ve met with a little accident.But, as expected, you’ve recovered fast and are alright now.
I hope you’ll be more careful.In the future, be it drama, movie or album, hope everyone will support us.
And, I always say this: “Thank you and sorry.”
I will continue to work hard until I do not feel regretful/sorry. (tears)
It’s getting too long, HyungJun’s turn (cried in the end)

HyungJun:
Listening to the kind KyuJong’s words, my heart ached.
We didn’t come here to talk about the end of the 5 years right?
Today, I want to tell all you of here, we might have solo activities, but didn’t we just release an album? We will continue to work hard.
Love Ya has received tremendous response, hasn’t it?
SS501 will be here. Hope everyone will stay with us too.
KyuJong has a lot of tears.
Everyone might think I’m the cry baby, but actually, KyuJong thinks a lot.
He will think about it at home, and even cries.
Seeing him cry, my heart aches.
So… (crying)
KyuJong is a friend that I’m very thankful to. He treats me like a brother.
I hope everything will go well for us.
And… (cries even harder)
I am really very sorry for today.
Sorry that the tears keeps falling.
Sorry for always crying.
I really love our members.
So…
Really… KyuJong.. and my same-age member JungMin, KyuJong, YoungSaeng hyung, HyunJoong Hyung. Thank you.
Today’s tears… be it 5 years, 10 years or till the day we die, it will become our best memories. We will work even harder.
Do take care of our KyuJong.
I will have a lot of hardship if not for him, a very good friend, like a brother, handsome KyuJong.
Everyone, please take care of him… us too.
Everyone, please treasure him. Thank you.

YoungSaeng: (shyly)
Saying this one by one makes me feel pretty shy.
Listening to all these makes me recall, we are always together as 5.
As time passes, We might not cherish the feeling of being as 5 as much.
Previously when I went to Japan alone, apart from during concert, that was the first time I stood on the stage alone.
At that time, I seriously realised that, being in a group, you are never alone. It’s really a good thing.
This can be counted as a late discovery for me.
Words to the members, of course I wanna thank them.
This is for sure, do not have to say it specifically.
Thank you.
Actually, I don’t know what to say…
All of you are crying suddenly now.
I was prepared to smile all the way today, so I’m controlling the tears.
(Fans: Just cry, Just cry it out)
Now that you are asking me to cry, I can’t do it..
What should I say to the fans….

HyunJoong:
On behalf of the members, what I want to say is today is not supposed to be a sad day.
It’s a brand new day. I hope everyone can smile.
It’s a brand new start.
Regarding the negative rumors, even though you might be worried, but from now on, please do not worry.
I want to say, Please believe in us SS501.

JungMin to YoungSaeng:
What should I say?
Firstly, to YoungSaeng Hyung… (crying)
Yup… firstly, I always… my strong personality… (cries harder)
So I’ve often… ar… I can’t~
I shall say these privately… it’ll be better.
All in all, hope everyone will continue to support us.
Yup… (cries even harder) following…
The next time we have a performance, please do come to see.

[Saying the goodbyes]

KyuJong:
We have spent 5 years with our pretties.
It’s really considered not long nor short period of time.
I feel that this is a short time.
Till many years later, we’ll feel that “5 years is nothing.”
Just like what you all said, until the day that we best in the world, we will continue to work hard
Don’t change your heart!
But you can have boyfriends!
Even though I don’t know how you all think of today, but I am very happy. Thank you everyone.
To all 5 of us, today is really a very meaningful and memorable day.
Iit’s better than any other performances, very happy. Let’s stay happy.
I’ve said to much, the rest cant say anything.
HJB: No, we won’t. HJL: It’s ok.
I shall end here.
I will leave messages often.

JungMin:
There are many people who cannot attend today’s event, we feel very bad about this.
Everyone here represented them and gave us a lot of strength.
I hope this is also a great memory for everyone. Hope this will be a motivation for us to move forward together.
SS501… actually for me, today my heart’s been feeling heavy and bad.
I shall take it as an challenge that we have to take up.
Although you all have given us much strength, please continue to do so, giving us much more strength.
Anyway, Please support us SS501!

HyunJoong:
Thank you everyone for supporting us.
Although we always say this, but I love you.
(fans: one more time)
I’m not an easy man!
Yup anyway, hope you all will continue to give SS501 more love.
We will also work hard for you all.
Thank you.

HyungJun:
It’s like a dream that we SS501 came so far.
There are many things that we have to do in the future.
2nd album…
We have already debut for 5 years, “a 1 album singer?” Can’t accept this right?
We feel really bad about this too.
Not only fans, we have also been thinking about this.
Even though we might need more time, but we will present you all with an even better 2nd album!
So please do wait for us.
We will work hard in order to still meet you all 10, 20 or even 30 years down the road.

YoungSaeng:
Please in us. I love you all
(members: That’s all? HUH? )
It’s already very late today. The last train is departing soon.
I will not forget today.
Very thankful , but at the same time, feeling sorry.
I’m serious.
I’ve written countless times of “thank you” at the fansign sessions.
Always thankful.
Thank you once again, and I love you all!

Hyun Joong:
Ok. Let’s sing a song
SS501 Love Ya
Although the promotion period is short, but really very sorry for this.
We will really have a longer promotional period the next time..
Yup. really sorry.

HyungJun: Our first place song — Love Ya

————————————————————

My heart really aches and I cry whenever I watch the fancams and when I see the photos from this event. There’s obviously something that’s bothering our boys. Whatever it is, please let us not speculate anything. Like what our boys are asking from us… let us believe in them and continue to support them. Let us not add up to what’s bothering our boys by speculating or having negative thoughts. We should be lifting their spirits up instead and cheering for them. Seriously! I feel really bad whenever I read or hear people being cynical about the boys, really!

Have you guys read the book The Secret? It’s written by Rhonda Byrne and based upon William Walker Atkinson’s prior works and school of thought. The idea behind the book is that an individual’s focused positive thinking can result in life-changing results. If this is true then it can be true then it works the same way with negative thinking right? So, haven’t it crossed your mind that the more negative you think about the boys, the more likely it will happen. It’s almost the same as wishing negative things for the boys. All I’m saying is let’s just stop all this negative nonsense and only think of positive thoughts. Let’s put our mind powers together and send them positive vibrations. Let’s wait patiently for what the boys have in store for us and send them all the positive thoughts, hopes and wishes we can think of. Deal?

SS501 사랑해! SS501 and Triple S fighting! 화이팅!
