Donghae - 韩Fun Magazine

Why did you decide to take the role in Hedgehog & Panda?
First, I really love eating and cakes. I am happy to participate in a drama with such contents. My role in the drama is a talented patissier and the personality is close to mine. I would like to challenge it so I participated.

What kind of role is Mr Hedgehog?
Mr Hedgehog keeps his sadness within himself and he gets hurt easily. His personality is very similar to mine, so I want to try this role. I thought it will be good if I can do this role well. The way he walks, talks, laughs, cries and angers were written very closely to my character. Even though acting is very difficult, I think it is meaningful that I am doing the role of Mr Hedgehog, I love the role. I like his personality. It is cute and because he doesn't talk well, he has difficulties expressing himself. It is a good character. 

When you first read the script, what was your impression and worries?
It was fine when I first read the script but I felt a little worried. Am I able to digest the role well? I felt stressed because it was my first time acting a lead role. Many sunbaes took part in this drama, as the main lead, I felt that I must do a good job. Even though it's a drama that I want to do very much, I felt pressured when I read the script. I was very worried but I received a lot of help from people around me. Really thankful.

You acted well with Yoon Seung Ah, was it the first time working with her?
Yes, it was the first time working with her and she took good care of me. I felt relaxed, I am her dongsaeng. Soon Ah has more experience in acting, she taught me many things, like an elder sister, a close friend. Seung Ah is very thoughtful and cute, sometimes she is like my dongsaeng, she took great care of me. 

Which scene do you have a deep impression of?
In the first ep, the scene where Seung Ah fell from the stool and I had to catch her. When watching it on TV, it looks beautiful but it was really difficult during shooting. Soon Ah thought it was scary and didn't know what to do. I remember we had this problem.

Choi Jin Hyuk and Yoo So Young are of the same age, how was the atmosphere at the shooting?
I can become friends with anyone. I may feel awkward with people during the first meeting but I will take the initiative to greet them because I want to become closer to them sooner. Not like acquaintances who just say bye after shooting. We can become closer by greetings and it will be better for the shooting isn't it? If we don't do that, we won't be able to understand each other during the shoot. The actors, the crew, Seung Ah, So Young... there are many who become closer. It was incredible that I became close to Yang Hee Kyung on the first meeting. Really thankful to everyone, the atmosphere during shooting was good. Everyone was like friends. There were people whom I worked with before and friends like So Young. The atmosphere during the shoot is not inferior to other shooting teams. 

Being an actor must have different enjoyment as being a singer, which one makes you happier?
Like I mentioned, acting is very difficult.... but I have been wanting to be an actor since high school. Acting is difficult and stressful, and gives me headaches but I am still very thankful to perform this role. If I go for shooting 5 days a week, I will do other stuff on the other 2 days, practice for the concerts. Actually I have shootings 4 to 5 days a week then I will leave for concerts on Fridays, my life is still continuing like this. I receive many new pleasures from acting and I am happy too when I spend time with the fans during concerts. So I am thankful to be able to do both. I will work even harder from now on, bringing new productions and songs for my fans as gratitude.

What kinds of encouragement did SJ members give you?
Members always say things like 'What time is your shooting tomorrow? You are back so late today'. I always reply with 'I am so tired'. Members will say 'Really? But you still have to go tomorrow'. Even though the members joke a lot, they gave me a lot of suggestions. Members without acting experience will encourage me by saying 'Fighting for your drama shoot'.

What kind of style is the OST?
I took part in 2 OST for this drama. I was thinking about what presents I can give to fans during the shoot. I felt that I am still lacking after the shoot so I sang in the OST as a gift to fans. I have composed 2 songs for the OST. One song has a sad feeling and the other song has a cute style. Both songs appear in the drama.

What can we look forward to in the drama? And tell us the charm of it.
You can see beautiful cakes and the love relationship between Seung Ah and me, very romantic, an awesome relationship. I think this has the most charm. 

Please say something to the Japanese fans waiting for the drama.
Hi everyone, I am Donghae, Mr Hedgehog from Panda & Hedgehog. Panda & Hedgehog will be seeing everyone soon, please watch well. We have a promise here, please watch happily.

EunHae - 130611 韩Fun Magazine

HanFun Mag: Why did you choose this song?

EH: Oppa Oppa has received a lot of love from everybody so I would like to try this style again. I felt that the Japanese fans will like it very much when I heard this song for the first time. I was very happy during the recording of the song and the mv and also look forward to everyone like this song.

DH: We had many backup songs for the second track but why do we pick this song. We often listen to Japanese songs and thought that there aren't many songs with this style, there is freshness in it. We had a good impression of it from the first time listening to it. We thought the Japanese fans will like it so we picked it.

HanFun Mag: Oppa Oppa was released both in Korea and Japan, why is I Wanna Dance releasing only in Japan?

EH: Oppa Oppa has received a lot of love from everyone, so we were thinking what sort of gift to give to the Japanese fans. So we produced I Wanna Dance for the Japanese fans first, if there are opportunities, we will consider releasing a Korean version.

DH: Super Junior has performed a lot in Asia and around the world. We don't really have a lot of chances to see the Japanese fans. This time we are greeting the Japanese fans with apologies (for waiting so long). We want to let everyone see a different side of us, so we made a Japanese single. Of course! We are very thankful to fans.

HanFun: I Wanna Dance is a song about asking a girl to dance in a club. This song has incredible choice of lyrics.

EH: Really? Like 'Miss~ Tonight', I think lyrics like these are interesting. The fans will feel that these are interesting lyrics too. If everybody sings it in the concert with us, we will be very happy!

DH: Very interesting lyrics, I remembered them immediately! It's important to be interesting.

EH: Liar! Donghae couldn't remember it, he was memorizing them in the plane from Korea to Japan.

DH: (laughs) To be honest, it was a little hard. But I really felt that it is interesting when I was memorizing it.

EH: It is indeed interesting. 'Miss~ tonight~' is interesting too, and others like 'men who say sweet nothings', 'power of adrenaline'. These interesting lyrics are added into the song in different parts. How did he/she come up with such interesting lyrics? I must ask him/her when we eat together.

HanFun: The MV is interesting, both of you dance a lot, do you feel tired during the shoot?

EH: We shot the MV for 2 days and 2 nights, the atmosphere was great and we didn't feel tired. But I am indeed old now! My waist felt painful in the middle of the shoot. We were very happy and we want to show new things.

DH: Eunhyuk and me don't sweat a lot normally. Why did we sweat so much this time? We look like we just had a shower after just dancing it once. We spent a lot of time trying to dry the sweat.

HanFun: It feels like you yearn for the feeling of dancing, it looks interesting.

EH: About the types of dances, we have included dance steps which we have done before and some rock dance styles. I like this kind of dance, it's like remembering the past.

HanFun: Let's talk about the new album you are releasing on 24 July.

EH: We are still recording it so we are not sure how the album will turn out. This is our first Japanese album, listen to the album and you will know what kind of group SJ is. More people will know about our music. I think it is an album that will be well-liked. We will prepare it well! Donghae and me want to show everyone a side that is different from SJ, please anticipate. 

HanFun: You will be having a concert in Tokyo Dome on 27/28 July.

EH: When we know that we will have a concert there, we were very excited, previously we went back deeply touched by the fans. This time, we will be as touched too. Looking forward to it, we are preparing hard for it too. Of course, we will have new stages for this concert, please anticipate.

DH: We will show a great performance for the waiting fans. If fans can recieve happiness and be touched from our performances, we will be excited/touched too.

HanFun: Last message for readers.

EH: It has been a long time, thank you for waiting for our new production. We are looking forward to our promotion too and will also create more chances to meet everyone in future. We will be very happy if we recieve a lot of cheering here.

DH: Thank you everyone for waiting so long. Eunhyuk and me and also SJ members will come here often for future schedules. Please anticipate. And... Eunhyuk and me may have a concert in Tokyo Dome next year, please anticipate! (laughs)

EH: It has been hard waiting for so long, you must anticipate our concert tour in Tokyo Dome! (laughs)

Siwon - ELLE Magazine

ELLE: What will you be doing if you didn’t become an artiste?
SW: I often discuss this with my parents, i think I will be in a university or overseas studying. I will most probably be a normal worker in a company like my other friends.

ELLE: But you still chose this path?
SW: I think it’s an adventure. In life, anything can be an adventure. Trying a new thing, trying a new image on stage, singing a song of a different genre is all an adventure. You can never know what’s your next step. Even this interview with the Hongkong media is something I have never anticipated.

ELLE: If everyday is an adventure, isn’t life very tense for you?
SW: Because I am adventurous and like to try new things, I enjoy the process. I seldom feel stress about it. When you challenege a new thing, you might fail in it but you might also learn many things from it. It’s how you adjust your atittude towards it. Like if you want to set sail in the sea, you must be prepared to run into storms.

ELLE: Your celebrity career seems to be smooth sailing, have you come across any storms?
SW: Everyone makes mistakes. What upsets me is causing problems to members, family or working partners because of my mistakes. But when I come across problems, I face them with a positive atittude. You might not believe this but I read books about life or how to solve life problems. From there, I learn many new thinking.

ELLE: Is there anything else you wish to challenge?
SW: I would like to try different roles. As long as it’s a different role, a role that nobody thought of, I would like to try even if it’s from a small independant movie production house. I want to be Korea’s Al Pacino, to be not limited by certain roles or my image. Actually KOD was very interesting but I had a hard time filming it as the role is very different from myself.

ELLE: What are your concerns when choosing a script?
SW: The first feeling you have when you are reading a script is very important. A good script will not bore you and you will finish reading it in one go. If you find yourself distracted and doing other things while reading, then the script probably isn’t a good one.

ELLE: Many men envy your body and abs. Do you spend a lot of time exercising?
SW: Actually I am born like this… joking. I exercise with the members whenever I have time and I have a diet list for my meals. I don’t have a lot of free time, if I don’t exercise, don’t manage it properly, I will gain weight quickly. If I know I have a photoshoot on a certain day, I will not eat anyting that day, else I will have a tummy (small words, I guessed it) easily. But exercising has to go hand in hand with rest. I read an article which said that exercising when you are tired will hurt the liver.

ELLE: What do you do on your day off?
SW: I rarely have time to rest. When I have a day off, I wake up at 6 or 7am. And then… I go back to sleep. After waking up I eat and meet up with friends to drink or drink with my boss. I want to travel very much but I don’t have time. If there is time, I would like to travel around the world and go to a warm place for surfing. But I probably have to wait till when I am with my manager, so I can steal my passport and air ticket and escape immediately.

ELLE: You have little time to enjoy your single life?
SW: Firstly, I have no time, my manager is aware too, I don’t even get to rest on Christmas. It’s hard to find a girl who can understand this kind of hectic life. Even if there is, I will feel that it’s unfair for the girl. It’s not that I enjoy single life, I just don’t have a choice.

ELLE: So do you spend a lot of time with your family? You are very protective of your family’s privacy
SW: I stay with my parents now and we go to church every week. I will also find time to exercise with my father.

ELLE: 5 hours of photoshoot and interview has ended. Korean entertainment industry is very protective of their artistes’ privacy. Questions for this interview have been screened by his manager. At the last question, Siwon suddenly added ‘Since you have made the trip all the way here, do just ask me if you have anymore questions. You can ask me anything’. Since Siwon doesn’t mind, we shall ask directly.

ELLE: There are many rumours regarding you especially on your wealth. It is said that your parents are in the higher management of a multi-national company and that your mum is a diplomat.
SW: DI..PLO..MAT?? Actually my family is a normal family, not that wealthy but it’s true my family is strict, most korean families are like this I think. Actually not only Korean celebrities, most celebrities do not want to reveal their private lives. This is to protect the people around you. Since they are not celebrities, we have the responsibility to carefully protect them.

ELLE: You took 6 years to graduate from college, why did it take so long?
SW: It’s already great that I can even graduate. It was really difficult. I need to accumulate credits but I have to go to so many schedules at the same time, it was hard. So please include this: Thank you very much to the lecturers who let me graduate.

ELLE: Didn’t your classmates take special care of you? Taking notes and doing homework for you.
SW: No….! I hope there was but no, there was nothing. All my homework and reports were done solely by me.

ELLE: You are going to enlist soon. Are you worried it will affect your career?
SW: All Korean men have to serve the military. I believe I will learn new things in the process so I am not worried. Maybe from this process I can present a new me to everyone.

ELLE: What’s your goal in your career?
SW: I would like to become a person who can represent Korea and be able to shine brightly on others (means bringing positivity to others). Actually I am slowly progressing it. If I do it right, I will have more influence, then I will be able to do more good things.

Leeteuk - 130502 Army FM Full Transcript

MC1: I heard that both of you went for shooting practice today. How was it? MC Kim?

MC2: I had 2 rounds today and each round had 18 hits.

MC1: We should applause for you!

LT: Aaah. Should we applause for this kind of standard?

MC1: Of course, how about our soldier Park Jungsu?

LT: I am an extremist so I must be the top. Therefore I am number 1. I have 19 hits! I did not disappoint my title as the shooting king of new recruits.

MC2: Seriously...

MC2 talking about the difference between the rifles K1 and K2.

LT: Keke.. You really look like a soldier. Kekeke....

MC2 (ignoring him): Their lengths are different. We have put in effort for the shooting today and so we are the top 2 shooters.

LT: Hahahaha....

MC1: Both of you are the top shooters in our team. I guess you guys will do well too in other teams?

LT: Of course. The other teams look so happy after hitting 11-12 shots, I guess they have to work harder. Hehe.

LT: Isn't there a show about 'my son going for army'? That show was recorded in the 306 platoon when I was enlisting. I return there not long after enlisting and every time I went there, I felt like the nightmare of enlistment came back. (laughs)

MC1: The two of you have gotten closer because of the musical.

MC2: Of course and Park Jungsu first class soldier.... is indeed someone deep. Just like an onion, layer by layer you peel them off to discover his charms. I still need to discover further. Now we are closer and we can see eye to eye on some matters.

LT: If others ask me what is my greatest gain in the army, I will say that it is to know MC Kim. He is someone whom I can only see on TV and  movies, I didn't expect to become close with him. As a hyung, he has also given me a lot of advices. I didn't think much of him when I was watching 'xxx' (movie name). keke...

MC2: That movie is really dis-spiriting.

MC1: Yes, MC Kim often plays the bad guys in movies.

LT: Yes, so I used to think that he is the worst of the worse of the worse, the worst bad guy. In real life, he is really different. I hope that he will still be like a real hyung to me after getting discharged. I visited MC Kim's forums before enlisting.

MC2: Why are you doing this?!

LT: And I found out that he is actually a romantic person.

MC1: Soldier Ji Hyun-woo who is also in the musical told me that he looks very manly but he is also very girly at times, throwing tantrums.

LT: He is not very manly, but very womanly! He loves to play basketball a lot. If we were tired during rest time and didn't want to play basketball with him, he will throw a tantrum and not talk to us. If we play basketball with him and he loses, he will run back alone.

Leeteuk said that The Promise has given him confidence for doing musicals.

Kim Mu-Yeol commented that Leeteuk is so good at acting despite not being an actor. He says that idols nowadays can do everything, is there anything they can't do?

Leeteuk mentioned that even though they are doing a radio show now, everyone in the department area is wearing military uniforms, looking very serious, it is very different from what he used to work with. It's too formal, he can't believe it's a radio station.

Talking about people he is thankful to in the army, Leeteuk mentioned Rain.

LT: He is very kind to us to the extend that the others will show their unhappiness on their faces. A few days ago, Seven came in so I prepared to teach him some things that I have learnt. But when I look at his eyes, tears flowed from my own eyes.

MC2: (laughing) We were are Life Center, when Seven came in, he didn't sit down, just stood there by the side with his shoulders shaking.

Leeteuk taught Mu-Yeol what kind of voices is required for radio on certain timings. He told Mu-Yeol that he is suitable for 5am radio show.

MC2: How do I sleep??

LT: Don't sleep! Hehe..

Leeteuk asked Mu-Yeol to do aegyo and chided him for always playing the roles of bad guys. Mu-Yeol then said that he really gets a fright from this dongsaeng sometimes but he knows what this dongsaeng likes so he will play along.

Leeteuk said that he formally introduced himself to Mu-Yeol when he first saw him, saying that he is the second-class soldier, Park Jungsu. But Mu-Yeol didn't respond and just sat there reading his script, so Leeteuk thought that actors are like this and had a bad impression of them. After the practice, Leeteuk and Mu-Yeol were in the coach on the way back to camp. Suddenly Mu-Yeol asked in a low voice 'How old are you?' and Leeteuk replied '30'.

Then Mu-Yeol said that they will be together from then on and if Leeteuk has any difficulties, they will resolve it together. Working well together. Leeteuk felt touch and almost cried and Mu-Yeol poked fun at him calling him a cry baby.

MC2: At that time, Park Jungsu was still a second class soldier. When we heard that he is joining the musical, we actually welcome him in our hearts. But we decided to do a hidden camera so we unconditionally made the environment hostile for him. We have made preparation to make the atmosphere hostile and scary but when he came in, his face was red, trembling like a puppy, telling us he felt terrible, we wanted to make a scary atmosphere but seeing him like this, we can only pretend to read the script.

LT: I was running a 40c fever at that time. Lost 5 kg, so when we were running through the script, I cried easily.

Talking about girl groups in the army...

LT: Talking about girl groups, it's easy to be in the same pace as your sunbaes. Jung Yunhak is already the head of the soldiers! He likes Sistar so I had to say that Sistar is the best but I really don't have a favourite girl group.

MC1: He still can't let go of his Super Junior's identity.

MC2: I would like to see Park Jungsu do the 13-member Sorry Sorry choreography alone. 

LT: I will probably die of tiredness if I do it alone.

MC1: When we play basketball, Park Jungsu likes to tell cold jokes. I used to think that Park Jungsu is a funny guy but the jokes he tells are not funny at all. However, Park Jungsu is telling jokes to cheer the team so I pretended that the jokes are funny.

Leeteuk mentioned that Mu-Yeol's body size doesn't look like a Korean soldier, he looks more like an American soldier and his skin is very fair. MC1 said that judging from Leeteuk's hands, he thought that Leeteuk is very skinny but when he realized that Leeteuk has got great chest muscles. He thought that Leeteuk's chest muscles are really beautiful. Mu-Yeol commented that Leeteuk looks skinny but he has a great body, he looks better topless than clothed.

LT: When Mu-Yeol gets promoted to the head of soldiers, I will take photos of his body muscles and show everyone.

MC2: Ok...

MC1: Park Jungsu told me that muscles should be revealed after getting the promotion, so both of you will do it together!

Then Leeteuk tells MC1 that if MC1 gets promoted, he must do a CF topless. In the end they all agreed that if they get promoted, they will come to the radio show wearing only singlet... if the staff agree.

Lastly, Leeteuk said that he wants to learn Japanese well then learn Mandarin. As for English..... zzz..

LT: Actually I wanted to change the lyrics because everyone is anticipating. Keke, I wrote down the lyrics and the Live Show writers gave me a banana as a gift.

MC: Banana?

LT: I had to go to the loo after eating that. Kekeke

MC/LT: Hahahaha

LT:So I am not changing the lyrics today.

MC: We ate it together but I didn't have that effect, is this an excuse?

MC: The 3 of us ate it but only you had that effect so we shall take it that you lied. You have lied, right?

LT: Haha, no no... Please come and listen (to the stomach) if you think I am lying.

MC: Maybe he ate it with an empty stomach.

LT: Yes.

MC: Haha, ok we understand.

MC: This is actually a very popular segment. Our Live program has a lot of feedbacks, maybe some people still don't know...

LT: Shall I introduce it to everyone?

LT: The 3 men here will prepare a live program each, after hearing the title of the song that I am going to sing, you must sing this song for me. If there are any special stories regarding the song, please post it on our bulletin board. 

MC: What kinds of songs have we prepared?

MC1: What kind of song did MC Kim prepare?

MC: I think many people will use this ong, I have prepared 2AM's 'This Song'.

MC1: This song? This feels good. What about Jungsu ssi?

LT:I am going to sing 'That Man', this is the Hyunbin ssi's version.

MC1:Ah~This man is going to sing 'That Man', sounds dashing.

LT: What if that man sings this song?

MC1: If that man sings this song, the rain of love will fall.

LT: Haha

MC: This is not bad.

LT: Yes, yes.

MC1: If there are any reasons why you would like to request for this song, please send the reason to our bulletin board.

MC: Let us listen to a song first.

LT: The songs we are singing today are 'This Song', 'That Man' and 'Rain of Love', there are some similarities between these 3 songs.

MC: What do you mean?

LT: All of them are 3-worded titles. Haha.

MC: Let's start with 2AM's 'This Song'. What kind of stories have we received?

LT: Alright then I will start first. (Listener's story) I often sing 'This Song', though I have never mentioned it before. I was a student at that time, younger than her. Although we didn't have a really passionate love like other couples, we have dress in couple clothes together and dated near our homes. Eventually we still broke up because of age difference. This title suddenly reminded me of the memories of those times. How is she doing, suddenly I am curious. I would like to listen to this song, please sing it for our precious memories.

MC: Ah, this is for my song, the story is sad.

MC1: Let's listen to the next story. (Listener's story) I love this song, I am happy that oppa is going to sing it. The title reminded me of the past, why I have not understood my boyfriend's heart. He has always been good to me, by my side, I really regret it. I want to organize my thoughts one by one while listening to this song. I will smile again while thinking of him. I hope that I will be able to let go after listening to this song.

MC: Aye... I was like this with a lady too. We have the same fate.

MC1: This friend is regretting why she had not understood the guy's thoughts. Maybe that guy only had a voice.

MC: Hahaha, maybe.

LT: Maybe there were other reasons.

MC: Let's look at another story.

LT: Yes.

MC: Everyone wrote well, and the reasons were sincere.

LT: I feel that this song must be sang well.

MC1: Yes, MC Kim, please select a listener.

MC: I will pick the second listener. I hope she will find someone. I am a man too, I hope that she will treat her special one better.

MC1: Ok, got it.

LT: So we will now let MC Kim sing 'This Song'. The next one will be me, performing HyunBin's 'That Man'. If you have a story, send it over. If you don't have, just make one and send over. Keke.

MC1: The made up story will get verified and receive a gift from Jungsu ssi.

MC: Yes, if the made up story is really touching, we will pick it.

LT: Yes.

MC1: Is MC Kim ready, let's listen to 2AM's 'This Song' together.

(Live singing)

MC: It's time to look at the stories for 'That man'. What kind of stories have we received? (listener's story) A guy friend always tell me about his one-sided love every time he sees me. I have not seen her before but he always tell me that she is very pretty. I have liked this friend for some time and although I am jealous, I still want the friendship so I just tolerated it. The girl he likes has the same name as me. Isn't that amazing? Please perform HyunBin's 'That Man'. For my friend to have more courage to confess to the girl and started a beautiful relationship, help me to encourage him.

MC1: Ah, I see a problem here, did you realize?

LT: No I didn't.

MC1: This guys is obviously this girl's.

MC: Haha, what are you talking about?

MC1: Didn't she say they have the same name? Their friendship concealed the relationship. The guy likes this girl, they are good friends and he says the name is the same, actually she is...

LT: It's Jenna ssi (listener's name)?

MC1: Yes, it's Jenna ssi.

MC: Jenna is hiding it too. How to resolve this?

LT: We can't help it.

MC: I think both of them like each other but they can't confess.

LT: Yes.

MC1: The one I like has the same name as you. Then it's you. They should start dating.

LT: Hahaha

MC: But if it's not like what we guessed then there's nothing to do about it.

LT: If the 2 of them can be together, it will be wonderful.

MC1: Yes, let's move on. (listener's story) 'That Man' from 'The Secret Garden' was very popular, I had a boyfriend at that time and I have always wanted him sing me this song in the singing room. But he thought it's awkward to go to the singing room when he didn't know how to sing. We didn't go to the singing room in the end and we broke up later on. I would like Park Jungsu first class soldier to sing this song to me, just like it is my boyfriend beside me, singing to me sweetly. Please, Jungsu-nim.

LT: I will sing it but it is not just casually singing because it's my first challenge.

MC: Haha, our Park Jungsu first class soldier has eaten a certain yellow food and now his face looks yellowish.

LT: Keke, yes...

MC1: Even though this is the first challenge, he has already practiced it 4 times. Please pick a listener.

LT: I will pick Jenna ssi.

MC1: Hold on, don't be too anxious, there is a new message, this message might change the situation.

LT: Yes, it's possible.

MC1:  Yes, the decision might be changed. (Listener's story) Jungsu oppa, I am now clutching hands and bumping shoulders doing some activities but I still have my earphones on. Please sing for me, who have been so determined.

MC: Haha, this one is good.

MC1: She is doing some activities, have you changed your mind?

LT: Yes, I have.

MC: There's a change, love is moving.

LT: I wanted to sing for Jenna ssi initially but isn't this unfair to this listener who is doing some activities?

MC1: No no..

LT: Ok, since love is always moving, I will still sing for Jenna ssi.

MC1: Haha, ok, going to stay with Jenna ssi?

LT: Yes, going to stay with her.

MC1: Ok, we understand.

MC: We shall listen to Park Jungsu first class soldier's 'That Man'.

LT: Ok.. Ah... so shy...

(Live singing)

MC1: Wow, the lonely Leeteuk, lonely Park Jungsu first class soldier has sincerely sang  the song.

LT: Haha.. no... I just sang while...

Sungmin - Date With

Date With Magazine - Sungmin part

Grading themselves with stars

Sweetness (4.5 stars) I think I am the sweetest member in Super Junior (laughs)

Gentleman (5 stars) I feel that I have some chivalry spirit in me. Girls especially like men who can help them when they are in trouble. I am the type that will try hard to help girls.

Gentleness (3 stars) Men who can detect the inner feelings of a girl are considered very gentle but I still cannot fully understand what girls are thinking of. I may think that I am considering for her but she might not understand what I mean at all. So I think I am not really a gentle person. Before, there was a girl who lost the couple ring I gave her and I forgave her.

Enthusiasm (5 stars)I need someone who can accept my enthusiasm. I am enthusiastic towards everything. However I always fail at confessing. If I am dating someone, I will be very enthusiastic to tell her 'I love you', 'I miss you'. I am not saying it for the sake of saying, I am telling her these words naturally.

Restrictive (3 stars) I will mind (a lot) if my girlfriend goes drinking. You will know a lot of people through drinking sessions but if she goes drinking and gets drunk without me by her side, I will be angry. If I am there, it's ok, I can take care of her. If I am not around, I will tell her to only drink about 5 glasses. Reason is because I will only drink 5 glasses no matter how much I feel like drinking.

What kind of wife do you want?
My criteria of an ideal wife has been increasing (laughs). As a wife, it will be good if she is virtuous and can a good mother. Must love me and think of me. Smaller sized than me, suitable for both short hair or tied-up hair. Doesn't need to be too pretty, I prefer cute girls.
What is your ideal type?
Have your ideal type changed over the years? I used to like virtuous girls in the past, someone who thinks similiarly with me and can communicate well with me. Recently I like golf, horse-riding, archery, shooting(laughs). If she can do one of the sports with me it will be wonderful. But I don't really like sports like basketball, baseball or soccer.

What are you concerned about recently?
I want to get married early. Get married when I am young and both of us will live a peaceful and harmonious life. I also want to live happily with my kids.
How would you spend a date with your girlfriend?
I would want to go to resort vacation with her, relax ourselves. Drinking fruit juice at the side of resort's pool. Although I like to watch movies, I can't really go to a movie theater. I like action flicks, comedies... but I really can't watch horror movies. And I also want to cook with her. I know how to make ddokbukki and spaghetti. I have never tried cooking with a girlfriend so I would like to try that.

The kind of style you like for girls?
I think as long as her dressings match her own style then it's fine. I don't really understand fashion so it doesn't really matters to me.

What would you like to hear from a girl?
Words like 'I love you' and also praises and compliments, I like to hear them too. If I hear compliments, I will think of working even harder.

What kind of comments do you not wish to hear?
Rather than saying that I don't like to hear the comments, it's more of being afraid to hear it. Like 'so disappointed'. I work hard to meet people's expectations of me and bear a lot of pressure. I am one who self-reproach a lot.

How do you release pressure?
Meditation. Listening to music while meditating. If I see a beautiful scenery, my mood will change with it. Then I will be able to move forward and work hard. If I come across any setbacks, I will want to face it with this method.

Say something sweet to our female readers?
Goodnight!

Hangeng - L'Officiel Hommes

L'Officiel Hommes

Hangeng, who is nearing 30, might think that his 'unruly' feelings has long left him, but after filming 'So Young', it was realized that the passion in him which should have been released at a certain age still hasn't left him.

During filming, he received 2 phonecalls. One from his mother and one from an elementary ex-classmate. The happiness and relaxed expression on him when he answered the phone has influenced the others.

After getting the approval of the staff, Hangeng told us,"This movie is quite cruel. Cruel as in after one started his work life, he looks back and feel the pain in his heart. Just like the lyrics, 'Short happy times..., long farewells...'

Talking about his youth, Hangeng expressed regrets. 12-18, destiny had given him only 6 years of education, he didn't have the chance to experience what many others have, to go to college. When others crossed the age of 18, they experience changes on their bodies as well as their newfound freedom. But for Hangeng, coming of age really means he is an adult. He started supporting his family after graduating at 18, there wasn't room for negotiation. He didn't know what it means to strive or to have dreams. He only knew that he shouldn't ask his parents for money anymore.

Thinking back on when he first step into the society, with only 10yuan ($2) in his pocket when he went to ShenZhen (which is far from his hometown), he said," I was so full of passion when I left home and I didn't want to take money from my parents. In the end, I didn't even have a blanket to sleep with in ShenZhen. So I eventually still took 500yuan($81) from my mum... But I returned it quickly. When I went to Korea, it wasn't for my dream or for performing, it was for the 4000yuan($650) pocket money. Lodging and food were free there so I can send all the money to my parents."

However, he is still happy with his 6 years of youth. Climbing over walls, somersaulting in the rain, fighting with his room-mate just because he sat on his clean bed... and the most rebellious one was to steal from a music store. "At that time I love those foreign rock music, I have never seen it on TV before. Often, a big group of us will go into the shop with military coats,after browsing the cassette tapes, we pretend not to want them but we secretly took a few and left. A senior of mine even had 5 tapes in each of his sleeves."

Years later, Hangeng became friends with the owner of the shop and told him of what he did before. After all these these daring acts, Hangeng understood more on what is wrong and what is right.

At 16, he didn't know what is love but he knows how to act as the hero in front of girls.
"There were often boys from other schools coming over to hassle the girls in our class. Everytime it happens, the boys in our class will dash over and have war."

"I can't tell that you are the kind to get into fights."

"You can't tell right, my classmates said the same things too. 'You seem quiet but when you fight, you are quite ruthless.' Actually I didn't dare to really hit them, it's hard to control the strength, I was afraid of crippling them."

The young Hangeng is similiar to the LinJing in 'So Young'. He doesn't tell anyone when he is troubled, but he is still willing to use 'colours' to describe his youth. "Those daring day were gone and won't be back."

He said if he can choose his life again, he will still choose to learn dancing. Because when you hear the music, everything happening on the stage itself is youth.

Hangeng doesn't have any special plans for his future. "I may not be as matured as others in this aspect. Take building a house as an example, I like to build a house brick by brick, how it turns out will be it, as long as people can stay in it. The badly built parts can be corrected later."

Even though he has attained certain success, Hangeng can't stand to take a year off work. "I can't take it. I feel more secured when I have things to do."

If he has time, he will probably learn English. The things he likes are like those of an 18 years old student.

To make up for the loss of his wild youth, Hangeng has installed a big projector in his house with several game consoles, PS3, Xbox360... playing with them whenever he is free. His favourite games are.... (I don't know the eng translations of the games), strategy or killing games. "Recently I like 'God of War', that kind of satisfaction is not lesser than dancing."

Hangeng said that he hasn't had any strict dancing training ever since he left school. When he was still in school, his hamstrings will tighten after the summer holidays. Now that he has stopped training for years, expectations have slowly gone down.

"When I was little, a month's holiday seems like a long time. Now that I am an adult, a whole year can just pass in a wink of an eye."
However, the sports he does now are far more interesting than his trainings. Skiiing in the winter and surfing in the summer.
"Maybe I will be able to use these skills when there is a disaster."
Hangeng doesn't think much into disasters and pain.
"If it comes, it comes. Life is cruel enough, why do you want to torture yourself."

"The cruelty of knowing the loss of your youth is indescribable."

In school, whenever it rains, Hangeng and his brothers will run madly to the fields, somersaulting, dancing... The last time he got caught in the rain was during graduation, when he was having a meal with his classmates at a faraway place. After the meal, they couldn't catch a cab and it rained suddenly. By then even if there were cabs, they won't stop for them as they were all drenched.

"Why not let's just walk back."

They all fell sick after getting home and they never got caught in the rain together ever since.

This might a kind of blessing for me. Because I don't have college friends, I treasure my childhood and high school friends more. During the interview, Hangeng received a call from a childhood friend. He told Hangeng that he has watched the movie 'So Young' and said,"You have acted well but still not as good as me."

Hangeng is still seeing his old friends often, eating together or playing pool, he even commented that he has never met his match in pool before. In his heart, he has a dream,"I wish to open a dance school, so all my classmates from the dance school can join in and have our own students, a lot of students."

Hangeng has some regrets for this movie,"Because of my concerts, I didn't have enough energy to film the movie, it could have been better."

As Hangeng doesn't have a lot of parts in the movie, each scene is a heavy scene for him. In every scene there is love and hate, colourful emotions. But because of his schedules, everytime he joins the filming crew, he can only stay for 3-4 days, which wasn't enough for him to get into the role. Therefore everytime he shoot something, the director will be there to assist him, trying again and again, till the emotions were right.

"I felt that she was too strict at first but after I gradually grasp the idea, there was a great sense of satisfation."

After shooting this movie, Hangeng's passion for movies grew. Dancing and singing is only a 3 minutes performance, all the preparations will be completed before the 3 minutes performance, he will then perform when the time comes. However, a movie requires the actor to spend every minute thinking and getting into his role. Trying to catch the role's characteristics even while eating or sleeping.

"The feeling of living with another character in one body is very crazy, and very unique."

The dream for movies started during his middle school but because of the limited conditions, Hangeng wasn't able to fulfil his wish when he was younger.

"I found out the details of all the movie schools but they were all too expensive. What happens now really proved the theory that a dream planted deeply in your heart can be realized in many different ways."

When he is alone at home, he will get a glass of wine, choose a nice movie and use the big projector, enjoying the moment. He likes to be in a quiet environment and be absorbed into the movie and music. "Actually 'So Young' can only truly be understood by those who have been in the society, not for teenagers. Adults need to release the 'cruelty' in their hearts."

Hangeng admits that he still has a long way to go for acting, just like a student picking up this new skill with passion. Hangeng has always given the impression of a good kid to those around him. If there is a chance, he would like to try the role of a bad guy.

Hangeng is still grateful for the diving program becaus he hasn't been training for a long time. He couldn't lift his legs as high as before. This program pushed him to challenge himself. Regarding the accident that happened during the shooting, Hangeng only said,"I was fine the next day, only my stomach hurt a little."

After the accident, Hangeng returned to the diving platform. When the memories of the accident came back, he told himself he must do it again, the best he can. "I felt like I have returned to my school days. I can't possibly not graduate just because I was afraid of exams.

The coach didn't give Hangeng protective ropes in the later trainings, claiming that the rope wouldn't save him even if anything happens. "But I felt that even if it doesn't help, at least I feel safer and more relaxed with it." Regarding this dangerous sport, Hangeng showed his fear without hiding.
"If the platform is 5m high, I don't mind trying to be honest. But when I went up to the 10m platform, I took a look and (words too small.. can't read). I know many people commented that my legs weren't straight enough or whatsoever but I just want to say 'why don't you come up here and try?'"
[LH]What excited him was feeling of fighting together in a team. It reminded him of school and the passionate fighting spirit during SJM days. "That was the first time I stood on the diving platform after the accident. I wasn't jumping for myself."

Hangeng regretted a little when he found out the difficulties of diving but after trying for a few times, he couldn't stop. "The feeling of 'uncertainty' was great. In life you can't control everything. Sometimes you can find your hidden strengths in these situations that you can't control." He said that he might try diving in future when he is moody.

Welcome!

Hello dear ELF who comes to this page.

This is my personal blog XD and I created this to keep all the translations I do for Super Junior's articles together. I do Chinese to English translations and subbing for various Super Junior related stuff including SJM's activities in China and Taiwan.

I have a Twitter account and most of the times, I just post the trans and subbed videos in my Twitter. But I am a talkative person you see so when someone requests me for a translations that I have done before, I can't find it anymore among my thousands of tweets. So therefore, this blog is borned.

:)

Prom15e to 13elieve. :D

Ending this post with our glorious Sapphire Blue Ocean.
