►►SNSD Taeyeon, “Out of the 14 celebs who hit on me, only 1 got my attention”
I wonder who that one person is…
SNSD TaeYeon talked truthfully about her experience of being confessed to and chased after by male celebrities.
She revealed on SBS Strong Heart aired on 22nd December, “I have always been asked how many male celebrities have confessed to me during interviews. There are actually 14 of them.”
She added, “Of them, there is one who gave me much stress. Around last year, he called using a number I didn’t know. I thought it was a joke, he didn’t even call back to clear things and then a message came. It turned out that he is a big seonbae whom she only knows by name and face.” TaeYeon said, “After that, we had continued to keep in touch like normal. And he would call in the middle of the night when he is all drunk and moody. He would also talk to the people around me to find out about my private life. I really could not take it anymore and told him ‘(in causal language) What are you trying to do? There is no meaning to continue to keep in touch’.”
But the seonbae then replied, “You still need to continue your celebrity life, how can we stop keeping in touch” TaeYeon added lastly, “I was worried because the seonbae has said that purposely. But I hope he would not do that to other juniors.” Meanwhile TaeYeon revaeled of the 14 who have confessed and chased after her, “My ideal type of guy is one with wide shoulders, and of them there is one who moved me. But I have to refrain from my feelings.”

Doesn’t really tell much about the situation HanKyung’s in..but just so you know (?)
The two entries below are quick translations, so they may have some inaccuracies,
I’m very sorry about it, but I’m having some real life issues right now.
This entry was written on hangeng.net by Han Geng’s friend per Geng’s own request.
The writing in green is what the guy wrote, the one in yellow is Han Geng’s words.
(DongGam is hangeng.net, a Korean website)
the one in orange is translator’s note.
[091219] Title: It’s been a long time ㅎㅎ
Since Hankyungie asked me to leave an entry after a long time
I’ve just come to write ㅎㅎ
Have you been doing well?!
Because of the activities in China I’m not even able to write entries
and I always just come to check
This time the schedule is just so busy
that I don’t have a lot of chances to manage to keep in touch
so again I have to greet you
and ask how the members of DonGam family are doing
through a hyung’s help like this
I heard the weather in Korea is very cold lately
Beware of colds and since I’m going to Korea in January
I’ll see you then~ Christmas is in a short while from now
Spend a heartwarming Christmas~
Please be happy~ ^^
-so here I come –
These days I too have been unable to come back here as I’ve been very busy ㅎㅎ
I came to give good news anyway~ since the weather’s cold
beware of catching colds~ ~
However, today Han Geng’s friend came to leave another entry,
and took back a line he wrote and explained it was written by him deliberately.
He apologized because he felt as if he lied, since Han Geng did not say that.

►►SuJu Shindong’s friend thanks him for giving advice/encouragement
ShingDong is such a lovable person ♥ plus I think he’s the only popular idol who is on the heavy weight side 😀
Lee Ji Soo who famously sung korean drama << My Girl >>’s opening song went through a tough debut and even had to face his mum’s disapproval. Thus, he thanks Super Junior’s Shindong for giving him encouragement back then.
During the recent Sundown Festival Seoul’d Out 2009 concert press conference, Lee Ji Soo talks about the challenges he faced during his debut.
He remembers that he debuted around the same period of time as Super Junior and they often bumped into each other at variety shows. Back then, he was feeling troubled over his current career path as an artiste and Super Junior’s Shindong had readily lent him a listening ear, giving him advice and encouragement.
In the short span of a few years, Super Junior has become famous all over Asia, and Lee Ji Soo was asked if he felt envious over Shindong and Super Junior’s achievements. Lee Ji Soo smiled and replied that he was not one bit envious, and instead felt happy for Super Junior’s high popularity.

►►HanKyung’s lawyer, “His contract is valid for 13 years, there are indeed many unfair clauses”
Super Junior’s Chinese Member Hankyung has filed a litigation at the Seoul District Court on the 21st at 1pm about the effect of his exclusive contract.
Reporters are currently on a phone interview with Hankyung’s (who is in China) lawyer, Kim Jinwook. Lawyer Kim said, indeed he has filed a litigation about terminating the contract with SM, but to whether Hankyung will continue Super Junior’s activities, it has been undecided.
[*] -It has been heard 2 types of litigation were filed today.
“It is confirmed that 2 litigations have been filed against the exclusive contract to not be valid and to terminate the contract. Simply put, the former says to terminate the exclusive contract and the latter is saying that until the exclusive contract is terminated, and until legal effect of the termination has taken place, (he) will be able to act in accordance of temporary activities at (his) own will.”
[*]-When did Hankyung prepare for this litigation?
“This is hard to answer. When the statement is released, it will be answered.”
[*]-The main point of this litigation is similar to Dong Bang Shin Ki 3 member’s exclusive contract?
“Majority speaking, it is almost similar. Hankyung’s contract is valid for 13 years, there are indeed many unfair clauses, so (he) decided to file the litigation.”
[*]-Has he been contacting the 3 members of DBSK?
“I am not very sure. Hankyung will state his own stand as soon as possible.”
►►The secret behind Big Bang Daesung’s tall height?
It’s not milk, I can tell you that much. lol
On the December 20th episode of Family Outing, it was revealed that Big Bang’s very own clown, Daesung, isn’t as tall as many people may believe.
As many of you may know, the cast of Family Outing completes “midnight duties” from time to time. Since it’s not really a task that the members enjoy doing, the members try to avoid being picked. Daesung tried to avoid the chores by doing a hilarious “dance” to a medley of Park Jin Young’s hit songs on the red carpet. But as Daesung was showing off his dancing skills, the humiliation began.
While dancing to JYP’s hit song, Don’t Leave Me, the poor boy slipped on the red carpet. Yoo Jae Suk ran toward him to “check if he was okay”; however, the MC’s real intent was to grab the shoe that slipped off the idol to see if he wore insole heels, which are shoe inserts worn to boost one’s height. When Yoo Jae Suk discovered insoles in triumph, the Family Outing members proceeded to tease the poor Big Bang idol.

►►[Interview + SCANs] Jung Yong Hwa is “Sweet Boy” for High Cut
He got curls for this shoot & talks about his ideal girl, You’re Beautiful, his favorite girl group, him checking on fan sites, etc! lol I love you Yong Hwa! hehe he’s really humble! he”ll always be my sweet boy 😉 (i know i’m a fangirl, get over it.)
Q: Jung Yong Hwa is handsome?
A: NO! There are so many handsome men these days.
I prefer ‘I am attractive’ like ‘Bol Mae Jung’ to good looking. Attractiveness is something you never get sick of, so you can keep it.
Q: Do you feel your popularity?
A: I still feel amazing when I see my story or pictures at portal sites. Those nicknames are too, such as towel guy, Bolmaejung.
I can feel it when I see JYH gallery of DCinside or other fan sites.
Q: Do yo visit fan sites?
A: I log in with my friend’s ID and look around whenever I have time. I am surprised that they know about me more than myself.
They found out my interview of <VJ commando> years ago.
AH! There is a rumour that I am a mania of Vivien Westwood accessories so that I spend all my allowance buying them,
then I mooch off of friends. That is totally not true. This is unfair. (LOL netizens..)
Q: Ideal type of woman?
A: I like mild woman (In Korea, ‘Cham’ means woman nice enough to be a good wife and good mother.)
Is my ideal type too matured compared to my age? (laugh). Woman who takes care of me well, who is wise but not reticent. Too difficult?
I hope who looks like Lee Yeon Hee and has nice personality. But an ideal type is just ideal.
Q: If you see your ideal type of woman during your concert?
A: First I finish my concert. Then I will find her. Even though I find her, I cannot confess.
Because fans’ love is more precious to me. (laugh) But it must remind me again when I close my eyes to sleep.
