Leeteuk's Sad Love Story


On SBS Strong Heart aired on 24th November, Lee Teuk revealed his heartbreaking love story which took place 3 years back.
He said, “After debut, I need to show responsibility in every matter as a leader. I even have a little pre-test about going into a love relationship.” He talks about falling in love with a woman 3 years back, “3 years ago, when I was doing schedule, a lady passed by and caught my attention. And I thought ‘So you can really fall in love with a person at first sight’.”
He added, “I thought that it will be burdensome if I have gone up personally. So I asked ShinDong to help me ask for her contacts. I said ‘This is Lee Teuk. I really like you that I think I’m in love with you. I hope we can meet up and talk’. And the woman said, ‘I feel pressured because you are an idol’.”
But to win the woman’s heart, Lee Teuk had borrowed Super Junior’s 250K kilo schedule car and prepared a CD with songs that the she may like. Lee Teuk said, “I stopped the car in a park in YeoIlDo and played the song ‘DDD’ by Kim HyeRim to lighten up the mood. She said that we have similar taste in music. She was then thirsty and as I got PET bottles and went to a nearby restaurant to fill it up with Cola and cider. She said that she felt my love and was thankful.”
He continued, “But she never told me that she like me. So I proposed ‘I want to go out with you officially’. And the woman accepted. But following that we only meet like once a week. She called and said ‘JungSoo sshi, I really wanted to watch that movie.”
“Even though it was peak hours, I went out for a date with the woman. Even though I may be caught by reporters, I didn’t care more and held the woman’s hand and we went to a cinema in KangNam. I thought that I really wanted to marry this woman and am ready to give up my celebrity life. People have saw me and asked ‘Is that Lee Teuk?’. But I didn’t care more.”
But coincidentally the woman’s mobile phone rang. And the person on the other line is a ChaeBol 2nd generation celebrity. Lee Teuk said, “I passed her the phone and pretended that I didn’t see his name, she then went away to take the call. I had the 250K borrowed car and it was said that he was waiting in front of her house with a luxurious foreign car.”
“I was so happy looking at the woman for 30 seconds. After that it was like hell. After that day, she did not contact me and we did not meet up at all. And for the next 6 months, I went into a slump. I kept calling her but she never picked up.”
Super Junior member Eun Hyuk said, “This is the first time I see Lee Teuk fall in love and get so heartbroken.”
And when asked if it is alright to reveal his love story on the show, Lee Teuk said that it is alright since he has said in a calm state. “Now that I’ve said these words out, I feel good inside. I really wanted to give up then. But I have no regrets about it now.”

COMMENT: Aww.. poor Teukie. He must have really loved that woman a lot. Right now I want to kill her! (sorry!) A fan will always be a fan. ELVES, let get her!

[CF] Maja Salvador and Kim Bum

This is it!
RC Cola commercial featuring these two lovely Asians.
I was ecstatic when Maja got this project. Kim Bum is one lucky guy indeed! And Maja has to be the envied girl in the Philippines as of the moment. Why do I say so? Ever heard of BOYS OVER FLOWERS? This hot guy was one of the main characters, and probably on the main list of the most wanted F4. Hehehe!!!

What I think about the video? I think it's GREAT!
Check it out for yourselves!

[MV] Kiss - Sandara Park with Lee Min Ho

Talk about how a music video can actually endorse a product big time!
Koreans do know marketing pretty well. This video shows bittersweet love and revenge. I must say, Sandara Park did really, really well. She even sang the song. And Lee Min Ho... whoooaahh!!! Do I have to say anything more? This man just looks amazingly gorgeous more and more.
~drools~
Enjoy figuring out the storyline!

FLOOD ONDOY: Philippine History

Within 6 hours, an entire month of rain fell in some areas of Manila causing untold suffering, damage and loss of life and property. Thousands were left homeless, and hundreds dead or missing.

Welcome back, Sandara Park!

... or should I say, Krung-Krung?
Yep! It's Sandara Park, and she's back!
It had been years since when we last saw this pretty girl
here in the Philippines. As we all know, she went back to Korea last 2005 when she finally realized her "glory days" here were over. There was no denying that she's probably the only non-Filipina actress who actually really made it pretty big, the results of the SCQ can testify on that. Let's admit it, folks, she was well-loved. Well-loved before she just out-of-the-blue decided to temporarily go back to her hometown to study (or something of that sort).
But what really happened anyway?
Sources said: her dad left their family high and dry due to financial
problems, loveteam split and controversy between her and Hero, outbreak of PBB ( which was pretty HUGE when she came back; I'm guessing the fans just changed their mind ), and the poor guestings. So... she left.
But, fortunately for her, she got in as a YG trainee (in Korea) that same year. And after almost 4 years of training, Sandara Park is now back on track with her new group 2ne1! Popularly known as DARA, she's now one of the promising new stars of Korea.





I am honestly happy for her, at least all her hardwork finally paid off.
Goodluck, girl!

Crimes of Girls' Generation (SNSD)


There's no doubt that SNSD members can really sing ( well, if not all ). It just wonders me why some friends in my other accounts/sites dislike some members because of the so-called "personality problem" issue. WHY?!!! They do look like sweet and charming girls! Then I bumped into dongdongjuniorbling's account and got to read her post about it. I'm not judging SNSD here. I love their songs and their moves. YOU judge them for yourself!

>> from dongdongjuniorbling AND shenyuepop <<

1. Shinhwa

-Jun Jin
SNSD appeared at Sungmin’s DMB radio program as guests and they made fun of Shinhwa member JunJin. They called him “Justin Jinberlake” and Tiffany made a mockery of JunJin’s “Wa” dance from his solo performance, while other members were laughing and giggling.
Shinhwa fans were enraged that SNSD could be so disrespectful of their seniors, especially to Shinhwa, a legendary idol group that has amassed immense popularity for the past 10 years in the industry.  SNSD members were forced to personally apologize to Junjin.

-Shin Hye Sung
SNSD Tiffany also made rude comments, such as “Shin Hye Sung’s voice sounds like a goat” and “Look at Shin Hye Sung’s hair”.

-Lee Minwoo
When Lee Minwoo, in a playful manner, bowed and greeted SNSD first, what happened was that while the rest of SNSD were bowing, Hyoyeon (towards the right end) was the only one who didn’t and just stood there holding the hands of her members and preventing them from bowing too! 

(For those who have been reading this, it may seem absurd that we are arguing over these “simple” matters. But you don’t understand because this is Korea and there is a big cultural gap. Comparing this to American standards is not fair or reasonable because Korea is not the U.S. and Korean customs must be respected. In Korea, age is a big deal and in the entertainment industry, when you debuted is also a big deal. That means young kids must bow first to adults at 90 degrees. New artists must also call senior artists “sonbae” (senior) and use formal dialogue when conversing. These are Korean customs that must be followed, regardless if you’re a top public figure or not. In Korean society, respecting your elders is of utmost importance and I hope all the readers will understand why small slips of tongue can be a big deal in Korea. And if you’re Korean or Korean-American (living in a bicultural society) and you don’t understand this and think this is “petty”, then you should know better because you are Korean.)

- Using the word “garbage” for other groups on TV
On Happy Sunday program, there was a corner where two contenders tried to force each other to say “garbage” in order to win the game. On this day, SNSD’s Taeyeon sat across trot singer Park Hyun Bin and asked “What do you think of Shinhwa in Korea’s music industry?” In response, Park Hyun Bin said, “Garbage” in order to not lose to Taeyeon. However, SHinhwa member Kim Dong Wan was sitting next to them as a guest on the program. Both Taeyeon and Park Hyunbin were at fault. However, even if it was scripted, Taeyeon should have known better to not ask that question, instigating Park Hyunbin to respond unfavorably. Does it make sense to say this in front of a senior 10 years above herself?
2. Super Junior
-Tae Yeon came out on Kangin’s radio program and called him an “idiot” in korean so Kangin had to defend for Taeyeon and tell listeners she accidently mispronounced the word, and that she did not say that on purpose.

-On a show program Tiffany said “Lee Teuk” instead of “sonbae” when calling him to get his attention.  (In Korean there are two forms of speaking to someone and you must always formal speech when talking to elders–sunbaes.)

-SooYoung appeared on Star Golden Bell and lied that Lee Teuk only escorts girl trainees back home and accused him of being a player for which he got a lot of bashing for and a bad image in the media. This erroneous rumor spread like wild fire on the news.

-On Chin Chin Radio, Evan (a singer) appeared on Chin Chin radio and was talking with Sunny and Sungmin when Sungmin suddenly said, “Leeteuk is the same!” Then Sunny shot back “How dare you compare him with Leeteuk” How dare you compare Leeteuk to Evan?

Tiffany also said SNSD is not a unit and that many people think they are because of Super Junior. She said, “Some people are afraid that we might break up into groups like SUJU, but we are ONE. Taeyeon’s “IF” is that of SNSD, “Oppa Nappa” is also that of SNSD. After she said this, Kim hee Chul and Lee Teuk were mad and upset and wrote on their cyworlds that super junior is “one” as well.
—————
SNSD’s fans Conflict with SuperJunior’s fans
—————
-In the case of SUJU, on the Taeyeon-Kangin radio program “Chin Chin”, -Taeyeon said a cuss word that eventually Kangin had to take responsibility!  Specifically she called him a “retard” in korean it’s a cuss word. In return Kangin had to defend for Taeyeon and tell listeners she accidentally mispronounced the word, and that she did not say that on purpose.
We all heard how Taeyeon received over 300 hate comments that day!
Here is the other side of the story!
-SNSD fans went to SUJU Kangin’s fan cafe and bashed him like there was no tomorrow with words that a living person could not say!
Soshi fans wreak terror on SUJU fan clubs Kangin Fan club terror:
SNSD fans bashed Kangin on his fanclub site, leaving messages:
“Kangin ….that bastard”
“Look at that picture of him, he looks constipated”
“Bastard…..he’s like a booger”
“I just want to press you down with my feet…”

Leeteuk fan club terror:
SNSD fans left these sweet sour words for SUJU’s Leeteuk:
“How are you an angel without wings?  Crazy bastard ..haha.. you’re not an angel, you’re probably a ghost, you bitch”
“….I’ll rip your penis off”

Sungmin’s fan club terror: 
Liberal spamming of “Have sex with me Sungmin”
One more reason to add!
SNSD fans call SUJU’s DongHae “Oh, the one who’s fatherless.”

And at the night of the concert!
This is the a proof that the banner was not taken away by the
guards for creating more seats!

Dream Concert - What happened to E.L.F.?

3. S.E.S
SNSD commented that it would be difficult to follow S.E.S. because its members are artificial. (Looks who’s talking!)
And they added that SNSD is this generation’s beauties.

4. SS501
-When Tiffany saw Park Jung Min, she said he looks like he’d have 10 bank accounts and that he looks funny from far away. 

-During the program, Tiffany also exclaimed “omg HIM”?! when she saw Park Jung Min. She has no right to be an MC. 

-SNSD fans made fun of SS501’s Kim Hyung Joon, saying “he looks disgusting.” They also made fun of Park Jung Min.

At the night of the concert!
Here is the fancam of a scene SS501 fans were getting bitten up by SNSD fans

This is what she wrote:
This is a picture of the entrance on the first floor where Triple S fans (SS501) were beaten by Soshi fanboys. They prevented us from going down stairs and stopping them. I just cried while watching them. My heart is weak… (Credit: Naver blog)

5. DBSK
Same as what happened with SS501 and SUJU; some members of SNSD did not use formal speech when talking about DBSK and calling their names, like saying “Xiah Junsu” instead of “sonbae”. 

- Jessica guest starred on Park Kyung Lim’s Outing. Park Kyung Lim asked Jessica who her favorite artist was and she said DBSK. Then Park Kyung Lim asked which member in DBSK she liked and she said “Jaejoong”, not using formal speech to say his name. 

- Tiffany showed how witty she was by saying DBSK’s wave of red balloons looked like insects. 

- SNSD fans were upset about the CF that SNSD did with DBSK so they accused DBSK of sexual harassment to give DBSK a bad image and creating a buzz in the internet.

Disrespectful comments in DBSK’s chatting box
This is referring to DBSK’s incident where an anti-fan gave them a drink mixed with superglue that got Yunho sick and sent him to the emergency room.
One SNSD fan wrote: “Instead of medium-strength super glue, I want to see them swallow extra-strength super glue”

And at the night of the concert!
There were no comments, such as “SNSD Disband”.
(Fans say that they have heard of this ‘petition’ for SNSD to disband; however, the dream concert organizers, “Cartel” fans, were not aware of this.) but while SNSD was singing, there were fans shouting “Wonder Girls!” instead that it must have hurt SNSD fans. There were also accounts that Wondergirls fans were crying because of this…because they were so moved.

Another fan account, from a Cassie
I was constantly kicked in the head and was hit by balloons by SNSD fans. I got fed up and told them off “Stop it you bastards”. From that point on they started hitting my head with their fists. I remember exactly, there wasn’t just one person, but 5 or 10 that came to my seat and started beating me. SNSD fan girls were just looking at the scene and giggling….while some fans were so alarmed that they were talking of calling the police. I couldn’t defend myself and just patiently hoped that they would stop. When they left, I went over to the SUJU side to ask my friend for help. She took me to the hospital. When I awoke the next day at 2 in the afternoon, I found myself in a hospital bed with my mother humped over my bed, holding my hand tightly. I have bandages around my head…it seems like my head was ripped open.

6. Big Bang
SNSD made fun of Tae Yang’s real name “Dong Youngbae”, saying “What kind of name is that? It’s not even “Dong Young sang” (videos).” They probably though they were so clever that they could rhyme Young bae’s name to the word for videos in Korean.

7. Epik High- Tablo
Taeyeon was on Kangin’s Chin Chin radio when she saw Tablo at the computer. She said, “Doesn’t he look like a leet “오타쿠” ?
(For those who don’t know what leet means, you can look it up in “Urban Dictionary”. But leet is an internet word that has evolved into referring to gamers or computer hackers who are stuck in front of their computers. But in Korean, it also has negative references to the Japanese.)

8. Happy Shares Company (만원의행복) show program
SNSD members were rude to the program PD (producer & camera man), intentionally hiding Yoonah (the guest) and giving her food to eat, which is against the rules on the show. When they were finally caught by the PD, they shook their head and said, “We didn’t do anything” and then at the end, blatantly admitted that Yoonah ate something. 

The PD said, “For someone who is young, you shouldn’t do this, Yoonah.”
Yoonah replied, “I’m 18,” while blinking her eyes innocently.
Yuri, who was standing in front, said, “We are old enough ~” while Taeyeon grabbed the back of her neck and pretended to fall to the ground, expressing that what the PD said was not “fair”.
Obviously the PD had every right to speak his mind, and the way SNSD was treating him was very rude and inexcusable.
 
SNSD then performed the song “Girls Generation” that starts with quite fitting lyrics “Don’t make fun of me because I’m young…” (Then why don’t they just grow up?!)

9. Discriminating on show programs
On a weekend café program, SNSD called a trot singer “Sparkles” (referring to the bright sequined clothes they wear) and said, “Get money from Sparkles~”. The members delayed the serving the singer, saying amongst each other “I don’t like Sparkles”. They made their contempt for the singer evident while showing favoritism for some baseball players also at the café.

10. YoonA Disrespected Tei
YoonAh guest starred on Tei’s “Island” radio program. Tei greeted her with a full bow but Yoonha just gave a small bow as if greeting a B-list singer. Tei is not a B-list singer; he is one of the top ballad singers in Korea with a voice to die for.

11. Wonder Girls
- Soshi fans went to Wonder Girls’ fan signing
One SNSD fan went to the Wonder Girls’ fan signing and asked Sunye to sign “Right now is Girls Generation”. This fan also dared to post a picture of Sunye singing this online.
- Remarks related to Wonder Girls
Whenever SNSD asks “Do you like Wonder Girls or SNSD?” they grow cold and silent towards people who say “Wondergirls”. 

- SNSD girls did mic tests while Wonder Girls was rehearsing. (Couldn’t they wait until Wonder Girls finished performing? Why do they always have to be an interference?)

12. Tiffany disrespected Kim Ji Suk
As we covered this incident before actor Kim Ji Suk’s English was corrected on air by Tiffany and caused him embarrassment for the rest of the program. This is when Kim Ji Suk is fluent in English himself and he was raised in England and lived in the United States for some years as well! (Tiffany didn't sing the lyrics correctly herself either)

13. Christmas Charity volunteer activities
For a Christmas charity event, SNSD planned to visit a nursery to take care of kids. However, SNSD was late for the event, leaving only 20 minutes to take care of the kids. And during this time, there were so many reporters at the scene that all SNSD did was to take pictures with the kids. (It was just a publicity stunt to enhance their fake image.)

14. When Nation Got Offended
Yuri made a slip of tongue, saying “My country” instead of “Our country” when referring to Korea, causing a national outcry. CREDITS: [SHENYUEPOP]
