A Father's birthday message for Young Saeng

Credits to Young Saeng's Father's CyWorld + Baidu + (English translation) wonderrrgirl @ lovekimhyunjoong.com

Year 1986 November 3rd, 9:45PM
I heard the cry of light that could wake the world
unclothed and bare,
the first sound you made is a crying sound.

This crying sound is the language of happiness.
It's a sound that allows the world to be brightened by its light.

A prayer is the brightest in the world.
Receiving protection from the angels,
I hope you will always enjoy a smooth and safe journey
thus we named you "Young Saeng"

At the same time, I prayed that you will always remember this name.
Also, forever preserving it through love.....

With all my heart, I wish my most precious and beloved son a happy birthday

You're always alone and it's lonely
My son, who said "give me a younger brother!"
Now it seems just like your very wish (has come true).
With Triple S around
you will never be alone again!

Because of your love, you have also obtained love
I hope this will become something that you will remember forever.

Now my son's path ahead,
even though it is not smooth or glamorous
yet it is very long, very high and very deep.
It can guide you to the road of happiness and bliss.

Young Saeng!
Happy Birthday!

Today is a day that belongs to you
Because of my son, I am living very happily.

I love you.
My son!

Notes from translator:
About his name 'Young Saeng':
Perhaps some of you are aware that Korean names are actually derived from a list of hanja characters.

Young Saeng's Hanja name is: 永生(Yong-Sheng)

The meaning of his name implies "Always living" or "Always reviving again" where:
永= Forever
生=living/reviving/growing

Thus that is what his dad meant when he said he named him Young Saeng, in hopes that he will always pick himself up and continue to move ahead on his path. ^.^


Aww... his dad is so sweet. Yes, I've heard my son utter the same request as what Young Saeng said to his father, "give me a younger brother!" In the Persona Making Story DVD, Young Saeng recalled one birthday that he celebrated all by himself. This year, I do hope he has celebrated his birthday surrounded with a lot of friends.

Aigoo~~^^ Just woke up and realized that my waist feels painful, it was such a long sleep in such a long while already ........

I finished my drama shooting finally yesterday ^^ It lasted for 4 months but, eummm, once again I feel myself feeling the much deep affection - which is to my surprise; after spending 4 months throughout, indeed it feels kinda saddening on having to leave now, mixed with both hateful feelings and anguish sorts

Since I just woke up only now, shall I go to memorize the mandarin song ???????????

To be busy is really not a hard thing for me, instead I'm happy, these days ^^ Why, because I'm able to do the things I want, to my hearts' content ...

Even until the day I leave my autograph on Mars as I shall ride on to my space shuttle at the NASA kk
At that time, I'll also carve you guys' name on there kk
If I can do that

...If I can't, I'll just leave my last will there for my kids to-come in the far-away future kk

What nonsense am I saying now after waking up huh kkkk
Anyway is everyone living positively ?????????

When I'm melancholic, I'll appear for once, and I don't even know if I'll give a Christmas present or not ...kk
Keep anticipating, won't be something peculiar, just wait for a bit

I won't be appearing on the television frequently these days already, TT
Don't say bye just because you can't see me

Study hard, help out around your hubby, and whatever things that you weren't able to give your boyfriend, just go ahead to get them now kk

I'll return soon with an awesome album, so do prepare for your million won already ........kkkkk

I should go to play some soccer right ~~starting tomorrow onwards

Have you enjoyed ???????????? Throughout the 4 months ??????? If so then, we'll continue to dream of our amazing future together, as we look up towards the same sky, ya

Below is the official response of KeyEast regarding the reports of Hyun Joong violating the secrecy clause for that Guangzhou Asian Games engagement. We'll wait for the translation but the main gist is that they have a formal approval to release such info.

Kim Hyun Joong violated his contract for the ‘Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games’

Credits to VITALSIGN@allkpop



Kim Hyun Joong was previously reported to be participating in the opening ceremony for the 16th “Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games“ on November 12th, but it has recently been revealed that he violated his contract terms.

On November 5th, a news report by the Beijing Youth Daily included an interview with Chun Wei, the director for the opening ceremony. He stated, “We’ve been put in an extremely difficult situation due to the disclosure of Kim Hyun Joong participating in the opening ceremony. China has been keeping the names of our own singers under the utmost secrecy, so it’s difficult for us to understand why he went ahead and revealed it.”

He continued, “The point of the ceremony is to reveal who is singing the theme song on the day of the actual ceremony. We’re extremely shocked to hear that news of his participation have already been reported. He even signed the contract agreeing to keep the information a secret. Kim Hyun Joong violated the contract and it’s very unfortunate.”

Yet despite his disappointment, the director went on to express his understanding for the singer. ”The opening ceremony will hold a 100,000 member audience. Since it will also be broadcast live through TV, over a billion people will be watching Kim Hyun Joong. He probably thought of this as an honor and wanted to get it known. I understand his actions and will not ask him to take responsibility for it.”

Why is it that it is his fault? Shouldn't it be the person who leaked the info to the media? From what I read before it was an agency from China that mentioned it. Oh well, the moment Hyun Joong stepped back in Korea after his quick trip in China, whispers of a singing engagement was already abuzz.

Whilst on the other hand, Lee Won-jin CEO of Google Korea also replied, "This Youtube is the biggest online video-sharing site in the entire world which also release the discographies of famous international singers at first hand. And with our special Youtube version this time round, our domestic video contents businesses have also aroused large interest in taking their developments onto Youtube. Youtube is open 24-7, which is why it is so welcomed by our domestic production people, and we hope it will be further welcomed as well".

Hello, this is SS501 Park Jungmin's agency CNR Media.

All this while we weren't able to have a mean of communication with all the fans at all, we felt so helpless in many areas.

In order to create a pleasant environment for all fans to congregate together, we have been putting in a lot of effort, so more or less so, the procession had to be delayed. We ask for much of your understanding on such inevitable matters.

For now, Park Jungmin is in midst of preparing for his upcoming release of his discography work that is to be published on November 25 as well as digesting several Japan's work schedules; he has no time to breathe at all, however he still personally gave much suggestions for his official homepage and worried alot on this and that.

On the other hand, a few sections where communication could be relayed is now open for service, and soon, Park Jungmin's gallery, movie, news etc will be gradually open for service as well. Though our preparation time was much longer than originally promised, please do keep in mind that Park Jungmin's care and thought for his fans is what the first and foremost point that really matters.

We ask for your much love and concern in future days to come.

Thank you.

He wasn't born with it that way. It's about his self efforts as in order to maintain acknowledgement gained from fans".

Another doctor from the clinic also added, "With Kim Hyunjoong ssi's current status due to all stress and fatigue coming in from all directions, it's very easy for him to develop acnes and every thing. However, in order to appear in the best state ever before his fans, he has always been sticking to continuous development of himself in areas of appearance, acting-wise and vocal-wise. The reason why international and domestic fans ardently love him so much is exactly because of the way he loves his fans and how he brings his self-worth to a higher level as he never fails to work hard with his wanting of proving to everyone. Kim Hyunjoong ssi is a world star who will be able to deliver the passionate image of Korea to fans all across the globe".
