lee chihoon picspam & fandom crossovers

2008-02-19T03:06:53Z

So, here are the random picspams and information from Korean blogs that I promised to do a few months back haha.

I've been fangirling over Lee Chihoon (이치훈) for awhile. He deserves a little picspam? My first picspam of someone other than Jin and Kame teehee. If you don't know who he is, take a look at him. He's a popular internet celebrity (ulzzang meaning = best face in Korean). He came out on Star King as a look a like of Heechul from Super Junior. If you like pretty boys, you'll surely like him too. One thing I like about him is that he knows of Jin! He posted Jin's picture in his home page (more like a blog). He has currently 744,197 hits (views), it increases everyday. Fans think he looks a lot like Heechul, but a few pictures make him look like Jaejoong or Jin *cough*.

Lee Chihoon Solo Collection

Lee Chihoon with Lee Younju Collection
Lee Younju (이연주) is another internet celebrity (ulzzang, model) and she is like an older sister to him. They're really good friends and they do photoshoots together.

The first one of him claims to look like Jaejoong. I see it heheh. The second one. It really reminds me of Jin's photoshoot haha. They don't look alike, but the fact that his facial expression is the same and the fur hood. Cracks me up.

KAT-TUN & NEWS Admired by SS501 (Ueda & Yamapi Admired by Kim Kyujung & Kim Hyun Joong)

Kim Kyujong from SS501

This is a screenshot of Kyujong's notebook,
What is that picture I see?!

Yes, it is Ueda.

Kyujong has said that he admires Yamapi from NEWS, but it's funny how he admires Ueda too!
Not only Kyujong likes them, Hyunjoong does too. He really likes NEWS, he even has their first DVD.

This is Kim Hyun Joong.

This is a picture of his belongings and you can see the NEWS DVD sticking out.

Something amusing and entertaining I found. First of all, no I'm not a big fan of SS501. I've known about them since long time ago, but I prefer not to fall into the fandom.
This shows how fans are so obsessive, I'm serious .__.

Yamashita Tomohisa & Kim Hyunjoong

Another fan of both Heechul and Kame put together images of them doing similar poses and facial expressions. She's not saying they look alike, just fangirling over random stuff rofl.

Want to see some more? Fans really likes comparing celebrities rofl.

Love for Maru
One fan pointed out that whenever she sees Maru, she thinks of the yellow character.

sukira 2008.02.14 translation

2008-02-15T06:31:37Z

Valentine's Day present for DBSK and Suju fans?
Junsu guest on Sukira hosted by Eunhyuk and Eeteuk ♥

Go here to watch the clip of the radio show or get a rip of the radio show.
The translation was too long to fit in a comment, so I decided to put it here.

Eeteuk: Hello!
Junsu: Yes, hello!
Eeteuk: Please introduce yourself.
Junsu: Yes, hello. This is Xiah Junsu from Donbangshinki.
Eeteuk: Yahhh *claps* Good!~
Eunhyuk: Ah~ hello.
Eeteuk: Now, everyone hears this right? Xiah Junsu from Donbangshinki is on phone connection.
Eunhyuk: Xiah Junsu-shi
Junsu: Yes?
Eunhyuk: Today is Valentine Day, right?
Junsu: Yes, hello. Yes.
Eunhyuk: Yes, please greet the "Kiss" Family.
Junsu: Ah, hello everyone. It's been a long time, well today is Valentine, I feel very bad(?).
Eeteuk: Why why?
Eunhyuk: Are you sad?
Junsu: Yes, this isn't a lie, but I didn't recieve anything.
Eeteuk: Nothing?
Eunhyuk: Chocolate?
Eeteuk: Wait, Xiah Junsu on the Guiness World Record with Cassiopeia, that red balloon...where did that person go?!
Eunhyuk: Well, he has nothing really special.
Eeteuk: Oh really?
Junsu: *laughs* --(he says something here and the other two say something too, but I can't catch what they were saying)--
*(In case you lost your place in the video or something, I showed the time.)*
1:04 = Eeteuk: There's a lot of people wondering about your return to Korea and stay in Japan, please give us an answer.
Junsu: Ah yes, these days, we are working in Japan, but we will be continuing for some time still, I believe. I think around the second half of the year...
Eeteuk: There's a second half too..
Junsu: *laughs* Right. I believe we will come meet the fans in Korea around that time.
Eeteuk: Does that mean a 4th album is coming out? Maybe?
Junsu: Huh?
Eeteuk: Oh, that's a secret.
Junsu: We're not sure yet since we are still discussing.
Eeteuk: Ah, you're still discussing.
Junsu: Yes.
Eunhyuk: Purple Line was number 1 on the Oricon Chart..
Junsu: Ah, yes..
Eunhyuk & Eeeteuk: Congratulations *claps*
Junsu: Thank you~
Eeteuk: I heard you had a surprise present for the fans.
Junsu: Huh?
Eeteuk: Are you still discussing about this one too?
Junsu: That's right.
Eunhyuk: Okay then, okay then. Since it's Valentine, I want to request for this..
Eeteuk: Song?
Eunhyuk: For them, why won't you sing a song?
Eeteuk: Propose song...SERENADE! Something you sing at night!
Eunhyuk: Sing one for us!~
Junsu: Right now, here?
Eeteuk: Yes. Something short..
Eunhyuk: For real, if Junsu-shi doesn't sing, people don't really know if it's you.
Junsu: *laughs*
Eeteuk: A person who lives off of singing.
Junsu: What kind of song is good?
Eeteuk: Like yours or...
Eunhyuk: Like your Japanese single...
Eeteuk: You can sing anything.
Junsu: Since it's Japanese, that would be sort of..
Eeteuk: Yah~ Junsu-shi knows about programs.
Eunhyuk: Well, yes, anything.
Junsu: Okay, if it's for girls...
Eeteuk: If you do well here, your fanbase can increase more!
Junsu: *laughs* Okay, I'll sing a little.
Eunhyuk & Eeteuk: Okay.
-Junsu sings-
Eeteuk: Yahh~ (He gets scared when Junsu still continues lmao.)
-Junsu sings more-
Junsu: Yes..
(They go all crazy here rofl.)
Eunhyuk: Yes! Find the 14th member of Super Junior! Yes, Junsu-shi..
Junsu: This is the first time singing on the phone..
Eeteuk: But, long time ago, calling is very difficult. If the girlfriend goes like, "Sing a song for me" and that's very hard. Once again, thank you.
Junsu: Ah yes, thank you.
Eunhyuk: Right now, in Korea..
Junsu: I-I..
Eunhyuk: Yes?
Junsu: I have something to say!
Eeteuk: Something you want to say?
Junsu: Today, I became a fan for the first time. I became Hyukjae's fan.
4:03= Eeteuk: You became Eunhyuk's fan?
Eunhyuk: *laughs*
Junsu: I usually don't compliment Hyukjae..
Eeteuk: Of course you guys don't do it to each other..
Junsu: Yes we don't compliment each other. Well today, I want to give a compliment.
Eeteuk: Like what?
Junsu: Ah! Not HyukJAE, Hyuk...
Eunhyuk: Just say you're jealous.
Junsu: I want to compliment Hyukja, not Hyukjae.
Eeteuk: Ah! You took interest in Hyukja's role.
Junsu: Truthfully, I was listening since the beginning, Sukira (the radio show).
Junsu: But the one, Hyukja, who came out----
(Then they talk about something that you won't understand if you didn't watch from the beginning of the show. Junsu and Eeteuk says something, but I don't really know what they're saying since I didn't watch it.)
4:32= Eunhyuk: That means he sent a message..
Junsu: It was very funny. I wanted to be a fan of Hyukja.
Eunhyuk: You want to go out with Hyukja?
Junsu: Ah, if I see (Hyukja's) face, I won't think of that..(probably trying to change the subject haha) well I thought this went well. Eeteuk-shi was very cool and (he mentions something about Hyukja, but I can't catch it since the sound was like weird .___.)
Eeteuk: Junsu-shi? Well I'm very sad.
Junsu: But I really like Eeteuk-shi.
Eeteuk: I know you like me, but if you say that you became a fan NOW, it's sort of depressing for us.
Eunhyuk: He's always like this.
Junsu: I'm a fan of Super Junior, but I'm Hyukjae's anti.
Eeteuk: Is that so?
Junsu: Yes, I'm an anti, but my feelings are sort of changing.
Eeteuk: It changed a little?
5:17 = Junsu: Yes, I like Hyukja now.
Eeteuk: Before, Junsu-shi bought me, Donghae, and Eunhyuk food right?
Junsu: Yes..
Eeteuk: In 7 years, me receiving food from Junsu-shi, I tell this to people a lot.
Junsu: *laughs*
Eeteuk: So you have be good to me.
Junsu: I remember it. We went to Young-do-po and you bought us mandu (dumplings).
Eeteuk: Mandu. You remember it.
Eunhyuk: Young-do-po mandu~
Eeteuk: Young-do-po mandu~
Junsu: Young-do-po mandu~
Eunhyuk: Yes, that's right..
Eeteuk: Okay..
Junsu: Anyways Eeteuk..hyung was a hyung (older) you can't not pay or anything.
Eunhyuk: (he mumbled something here) Okay, I see.
Eeteuk: Sometime, let's go to a "hwae" (Hwae is like a special meeting between workers or friends.)
Junsu: Oh that would be great. Let's meet sometime for sure.
Eeteuk: Not meeting. Does that mean you don't want a "hwae" with us?
Junsu: What "hwae"?
Eunhyuk: "Hwae"..what "hwae"?
Eeteuk: Isn't a "hwae" like talking and chatting *does hand motions*?
Junsu: Ah! I see, yes.
Eunhyuk: Junsu-shi! Even in Japan, do your best.
Junsu: Thank you.
Eunhyuk: Me becoming a fan, I'll think about it too.
Junsu: Okay, think about it. I will always support Super Junior too.
Eeteuk: Thank you. Even when busy, having a phone call with us, lets thank Xiah Junsu from Donbangshinki again and him becoming a family with us, I feel very warm.
Junsu: Sukira is the best!
Eeteuk: Yes, Dongbangshinki is the best!
Junsu: Thank you..
Eeteuk: If it's like this, it would be great if Super Junior is mentioned.
Junsu: Super Junior, Super-- *connection problem*
Eunhyuk & Eeteuk: Yee~
Eeteuk: Thank you.
Eunhyuk: The line gets cut~
Eeteuk: The phone..
(Junsu joins the laughing and Eeteuk gets surprised that he's still on.)
Eunhyuk: His voice was too loud..
Eeteuk: Thank you Junsu-shi!
Junsu: Yes, thank you~

That was the longest translation ever lmao. Took me around 30 minutes.
...I realized...they say "thank you", "yes", "alright", "okay" too much.

Junsu was acting weird in this one haha. He was talking about "Hyukja", I believe it is a radio caller before Junsu was called in, and he said he became a fan of Hyukja because she was funny. (He was listening from the beginning of Sukira before he called). Then, he was talking about Hyukjae at first, and suddenly switched off to Hyukja. It's so confusing @___@ Then, he randomly brings up Hyukja during his talk with Eunhyuk and Eeteuk. You'll understand if you watch it with the translation. I think he was just teasing Eunhyuk haha!

Edit: For less confusion,
- Hyukjae is Eunhyuk's real name. Junsu tends to call him Hyukjae since he did from long time ago. That's why Hyukjae (Eunhyuk) and Hyukja (the radio caller) was getting confusing for them rofl >:D
- About the "hwae" part, I just found out "hwae" is like a meeting between workers. Such as, in a drama, the staff goes to eat after filming and stuff. I still don't get why Eeteuk was going like, "Not meeting. Does that mean you don't want a "hwae" with us?" ;__;-

jin in korean news article + kat-tun picspam

2008-01-06T05:13:33Z

I bumped into this interesting Korean news article a few days ago and I decided to translate and share it. I was so confused because "Jin" was in the Korean news and it was just a really small thing.

NEWS ARTICLE
The picture was too big, so I had to link you to it.

The title of the article is "Japan's Top Idol Group KAT-TUN Member Akanishi Jin is Ryu Shiwon's Fan."
The amusing thing is that they describe KAT-TUN as Japan's TOP IDOL Group. They used "Chwaegoh" which means BEST.

June 24, 2007
On the 23rd, at the Saitama Super Arena, Ryu Shiwon (류시원) held his "2007 Live World You(?)" Concert. Apparently, Akanishi Jin(23) from the idol group that is continuing to gather popularity was spotted in the audience with his father and his younger brother (meaning Reio) watching the concert from the seats for honored guests only. It says in the article that Jin requested to come, nothing like they were close or anything. Also Jin was described has a man sitting in the way front, wearing sunglasses. LOL *falls off her chair* It seems that Jin among the audience of over ten thousand spectators did the "WAVE" to the heat up the atmosphere (you know the flapping arms stuff in relay?). He stood up happily and participated in the wave. So yeah they also mention about other people and stuff (nothing important).

I can so imagine Jin doing the wave in the middle of an audience of 30 year old female fans.
It also says that he was easy to spot in the crowd of people.

Oh and you guys be like "Who is Ryu Shiwon?" "Why does Jin even like this guy?" He's 35 years old. He's a Korean singer and actor! He has an amazing voice, I'll give you that. Heard of Winter Sonata, as in Yon-sama (Bae Young Jun)? Ryu Shiwon did the OST(s) for the drama. Since the drama was a big hit in Japan, he has a lot of fans. The songs are pretty, that's all I can say. Since Jin is a fan of Ryu Shiwon, he must like his songs ne? Give them a try:

Only You (OST)
My Memory (OST)
From the Beginning Until Now(OST)
This is the most popular one. Listen?

See him here!
Here, he attended the SBS Entertainment Award place and he won something *claps for him*. The audio is out of synch though. Just look at his face and exit the place if you have to.

Please do not repost this translation somewhere else without permission. Thank you.

I also put a small picspam. It's not really image heavy this time.

Here, Koki and Maru are just racing like maniacs and Junno can't catch up.

It's sorta of like, Ooo! Kame, catch me if you can! *add playful tone*

KAT-TUN eating hot dogs in New York.

Starting of the Akame Photos! Remember my old Papa collection? These are some I recently found (well clearer ones)

Sorry Pi, but I just had to *holds back laughter*

Let's end with some pretties?

This is one of the most gorgeous Akame pictures. I like the feeling in this one ♥

Please do not hotlink. Thank you.

akanishi jin 1984-2008 ongoing + random

2008-01-04T05:41:30Z

Happy Late New Year! This is the longest post I've ever done in my life so be prepared. I intend to squish a lot of random stuff in one entry, sorry XD. I worked on this Akanishi Jin timeline for two hours, trying to organize everything. So I hope you find it interesting or useful in a way. So I decided to start of the post with some random things. I translated one of Jin's short entries (from a korean translation). I thought it was so cute and it shows some behind the scenes of the cartoon KAT-TUN II You TOUR 2007. I also put some pictures of Akanishi Reio and the three Kamenashi brothers. I saw someone who was interested, so I thought I would show you curious fans haha.

Have fun!

Greetings m(_ _)m
This is Jin.
This weekend, we are having our final concert at Tokyo Dome.
The people who are coming, lets have fun together.
But do you know!?
During the live, doing the bungee jump is so scary~~
Before I jump, I say amen {I pray}.
It isn't some rehearsed thing, I really do pray {he said it more like begging-praying}. (laughs)
I don't want to live in a not-good condition so next time, I will try hard not to get hurt.
So everyone, see u {he put that in english}

Please do not repost this translation somewhere else without permission.

I promised someone I would put this up. I have no idea whether or not some of these pictures are of Reio, but the people I got it from said it was him *shrugs*

I'm not sure about this one. He looks so different from the other pictures.

I heard he participated in a breakdancing competition. Here, he got hurt on the chin and I have no idea why. I heard he was hurt when he was dancing.

Now for Kamenashi brothers. Heard of them before? Bet you have.

1st (oldest): Kamenashi Yuichiro
2nd: Kamenashi Koji
3rd: Kamenashi Kazuya
4th (youngest): Kamenashi Yuuya.
I tried to dig up some stuff today and I found some more. I planned to just put up Yuuya's pictures but I just browsed some more. Then there was the two others and I was like dead when I saw Yuichiro and Koji. They look A LOT like Kame (not exactly though). Gives me the creeps. Well, at least they look more like Kame than those look-a-likes in ~~Shibuya~~ haha. The two older brothers look sorta scary compared to Kame and Yuuya. Yuuya is chubby so good for him. Now let's take a look at the Kamenashi brother line!

1st brother in the family: Kamenashi Yuichiro

2nd brother in the family: Kamenashi Koji

Bigger version of the previous.

3rd brother of family: KAMENASHI KAZUYA ♥

4th brother of family: Kamenashi Yuuya

Let's look in more of Yuuya. I translated what this fan wrote in her blog (her comments) which is in italicize.
It was so funny what she said about him.

Here, I believe, Yuu explains to the others that the guy on the screen is Kame's little brother.
Fan: Uwahh~ It's Kame's younger brother~ Looks cute -o-/

Fan: His lips look like Kame's too~~ -o-/

Fan: His laugh is like Kame's too~~ -o-/

.....

(Kame watching his brother)
Fan: But then his big brother looks..->(insert Kame fangirl giggles here)<-

Please do not throw stuff at me if these pictures are not them. I just found them in KAT-TUN fan blogs :)

Well since it's a start of a new year, let's look back at how much Akanishi Jin has changed (appearance-wise) over the years! This timeline starts way back when Jin was only 4 months old. I'm seriously not sure of the order of the baby pictures, so I put few of them in random places gomen. I only put dates on the ones I know. D; It shows Jin around 2001-2007 ongoing. I had to skip months though heh.

Some of the baby pictures credits to (the ones that are marked): Akanishi Jin Joa ♥
Thank you very much.

If you want to save the baby pics, I recommend you to have it for personal use only.

He still has that smile haha! This was when he was a very, very innocent baby.

This was when he was 4 months old! Look at that mohawk.

6 months old Jin

Jin when he was 1 year old!

Jin has said that he always loved sweets when he was a baby and this photo proves it.

2 years old

So cute! ♥

The famous "I found you Mommy!" picture.

Jin's face is starting to come out.

Jin 4 years old! He reminds me of Nakajima Yuto a lot here.

Jin with his younger brother, Reio (OR maybe with a friend. I don't know, the place I found it said it's him. He looks so different though.) Jin was 11 years old at that time.

Jin with his Daddy :D

When I first saw this photo, I was like "Ah, it's Jin..cute! Ah, there's Reio too...Ah what a big...SUMO?!"

Jin (far right) when he was 1st year in junior high school. This was probably the time period when Jin learned to love soccer.

FINALLY DONE *throws confetti*. I was working on it from 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM *yawns*. I edited this about a thousand times to make it perfect. I just wanted to put a special entry dedicated to KAT-TUN (more like Kame and Jin) for the beginning of 2008 even though I'm a bit late *cough*

A present to all you Jin fans. I just felt like putting it up.
