Jennifer: I was actually a little shocked when I saw this news today:
Chinese media was complaining that it’s already hard enough to communicate with foreigners, but it’s even worse to interview a celebrity with an agent that has a tough attitude. The mini concert in China for Se7en’s Sprite Event was crowded and packed with Se7en’s fans, and they started to wait by the entrance since this morning. After the performance, the media asked Se7en : “What makes you to decide to enter U.S market before Chinese market?” And before Se7en open his mouth to speek, YG took over the conversation and replied it with: “We recorded english songs first, so we decided to enter U.S market before the Chinese. Entering U.S market first doesn’t mean we forgot the Chinese market!” Later during the interview, when the media brought up Goong S’ low view rate, YG directly cut off the interview and made an excuse of: “The interview is over, Se7en have another scheduled event.”
Se7en did his well known ”Hand Stand” during his performance in China on October.28! He even said “I love you” (In chinese), which made all of his fans screamed. Se7en did not talk about the progress of his English album, but it should be good! After he finish recording his English album, he will be promoting more in Asain countries…(Why?) and he may have a concert in China too!!
Jennifer: Shouldn’t he be focusing more on the U.S debut than promoting in asia? Promoting yourself in asia after finish recording? If I walk on the street and grab a random person, and ask them if they know se7en, I bet they’ll say NO!! C’mon…promote yourself in U.S first!!! ** Worrying** I can only say Good luck~
ShenYue:

This is making me SUPER worried of his debut! …

After being this close *imagine the gesture, people* to vomit my sickness of SuJu and Henry, my man (ahem..i mean, men) saved my day. I won’t even bothered to rewrite the news.
The upcoming film “Antique” Director Min Gyu Dong will star Joo Ji Hoon of “Goong (Princess Hours),” Kim Jae Wook of “Coffee Prince” and others.
According to the production company on the 17th, Joo Ji Hoon will play the “Antique” owner Jin Hyuk who becomes the perfect salesmen with his speech skills, while Kim Jae Wook will play the genius patissier Son Woo to mark his silver screen debut.
Also, Yoo Ah In will play the boxer turned patissier assistant Gi Beom, and Choi Ji Ho who debuted through “Time Between Dog and Wolf” will play the role of Jin Hyuk’s bodycard Soo Young.
“Antique” is the story of love and friendship of four men set in an antique shop that is renovated into a cake shop and is scheduled to be released on screen during the first half of next year.
now, i don’t know why they didn’t add more info about the movie, but reading about the roles and the story, i’m pretty much sure it’s an adaptation of Japanese drama under the same title. I’ve watched it, one of my favorite J-doramas, and a very cool one.
I don’t know how they’ll squeeze 11 episodes to a standard length movie, and if you’re an avid audience of both K and J drama/movie like i am, you prolly aware of the differences between both, like Koreans are usually more in the pop mainstream than Japanese movie/drama. I just hope they won’t make Antique into a pop movie, coz the original, well, like many good J-dramas, is not really a pop drama.
am i making you confused? coz i think i’m making myself confused.
okay, let’s put it this way. Japanese drama are usually better in qualities than Korean. So i hope they will keep Antique in the same league as the original.
yeah. that’s better.
well anyways. In the original, the 4 leading roles were played by, well, 4 hunks; Hideaki Takizawa, Naohito Fujiki, Shiina Kippei, and Hiroshi Abe. For you who are not familiar with those names , just trust me, poor people, they are drool factors.
Louise: well, actually it was poll no.12, the 11th was our research about the readers age group (which showed us that most of you are around 15-18, if i’m not mistaken. a big envy factor here with your youthful for us the young and beauty ahjummas over 20)
Louise: what was the last thing i heard about Henry?hmmm….that he was going to be added to Super Junior China? well, better be not. it must be hard for him to sing while playing the violin AND dancing (you know, even lipsync and dancing without playing an instrument needs good coordination between the lips and the feet. Now how can he handle lips, feet and chin at the same time?it must be hard to move your mouth when there’s a wood keep knocking on your chin. oh not to mention squeezing your brain to remember the chinese words to match your mouth and the recorded song. pffuih!!*wiping my forehead* Henry must have a good pay for this job)
see what our staff Jennifer found :
Louise: Guess this has become such a pretty big issue for some people, huh?
ShenYue: So staff compiled lists of news on the issue .. we have asked our lovley staff Michelle to make a post of it .. and it was supposed to be worked on tomorrow but since Louise post up the pics and the poll results are out .. so let us have them all on here!

Michelle: Here’s some news that hit korean headline news just yesterday/today and will be on korean headline news for like the next who knows who long!!
Super Junior Fans Protest Against Addition of New Member
25/10/2007
After Super Junior’s agent company SM Entertainment announced a plan for adding a new member (Henry) to Super Junior, fans immediately objected and formed a silent protest. At 4:00 PM on Wednesday afternoon (October 24th), over 270 high school and college students swarmed towards SM Entertainment’s building and formed a “Against Adding a New Member to Super Junior Joint Committee.”
Wearing surgical masks, holding signs that plastered “13″ all over the board, sitting in straight lines, they silently protested against the action. Some raised signs and said, “SJ ONLY 13″ and “SM what do you want?” and other similar words.
Nearby there was a huge sign hanging from a tree, with the words, “We are not naive children causing trouble. We are guarding the treasured courage. My name is FAN.” It took well over $1000 won to create the sign.
When SM created Super Junior, they publicized the group with the tagline, “The gate towards stardom in Asia” and stated that this group is a project group with an uncertain amount of members. Currently Super Junior has 13 members, but this was not what the fans want.
According to one of the protesters, although Super Junior was originally a project group, after the release of single “U” last year in June, SM announced through the media that Super Junior will stay as a permanent group. Therefore having plans to add the Chinese Henry and debuting Super Junior-China is lying to the fans.
Another student said, “We do not want Henry or anyone else to be added in Super Junior. We want Super Junior to be a safe 13-membered group. We support Super Junior to target overseas markets, but not with Henry. Henry was not originally a Super Junior Member. We will protect Super Junior’s name.” She also added, “We’ve started the protest on the 21st and at that time we had over 400 people. We’ve also sent many messages to SM about the situation, but they did not reply. We will continue to protest until SM gives us an official answer.”
For this, SM said, “We never stated that Super Junior was a permanent group. The fans had it misunderstood. Super Junior was formed as a gate to stardom in Asia, therefore our Chinese trainees like Han Kyung were added.”
They also added, “With the formation of Super Junior-China and doing activities overseas, more people will recognize Super Junior and it will help the group create a greater popularity. We hope fans will continue to support Super Junior.”
On another side, some 50 people supported Super Junior to have an extra member, and held signs with words, “We support Henry’s addition,” to create more controversy.
Future activities of Super Junior and fans’ interaction will be closely followed by the media.

Michelle: and here’s a video I found that kinda goes with it. Eeteuks’ happiest moment was when the group debuted as a PROJECT group but cried when U came out because they were NO LONGER a project group!!
ShenYue: So all this time EVEN Suju been thinking they are not a PROJECT GROUP and are settled!!!! WOW .. SM is really something!
We found one of the members of E.L.F on Z-degree and she spoke out … <<<<<< THIS IS NOT US TALKING <<<<<< IT's A MEMEBER OF E.L.F!!!!!>>>>>>>>>
___________________________________________________________________ slineteuk: I’m a very devoted fan of Super Junior and only Super Junior.
I’m a member of their official fan club and i really think fans over here don’t know anything about them.
they all think fans in korea are crazy and so mean to henry…
um.. i don’t think so
SM entertainment is trying to put in Henry, a Chinese trainee that featured in Suju’s song, “Don’t Don”
as superjunior’s 14th member…
WE HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HENRY… we just think he’s a puppet for SM to play with…
He’s very talented and has a lot of opportunities since he’s only 19
so is there a reason that he NEEDS to be put in superjunior?
we’re willing to support him if he goes solo…
but we’ll be his worst anti-fans the moment he joins superjunior
WE LOVE SUPERJUNIOR, NOT HENRY..
and we only love 13 members
plus.. the 14th place belongs to us, E.L.F.
some people are saying “it’s the same thing as when kyuhyun came in.. stop being so serious”
IT’S NOT THE SAME THING AS KYUHYUN OPPA JOINING SUJU!!!
E.L.F. was created AFTER kyuhyun oppa came in
and superjunior was a project group then, meaning that members could be changed
and the group could be separated any time SM wants it
but they’ve declared SuperJunior as an official group now
and they’re breaking a promise with us
and people who say those stuff… you’re not even suju’s fan then..
E.L.F. went through all the tough times with 13 members
we celebrated their anniversaries with 13 members
we voted till dawn on mnet so 13 members could be happy when winning 1st place
we cried with 13 members when they won MKMF award
with the 14th member… we’re not so sure if we’d like to do those things
for “super junior”
maybe for the 13 members
but not for “super junior”
AND WE PROTESTED ON 10.21.07 INFRONT OF SM BUILDING
TO STOP 14TH MEMBER FROM COMING IN
SOME OF YOU MIGHT THINK I’M BEING SO NEGATIVE..BUT
IT’S THE TRUTH… LEE SOOMAN WANTS MONEY
HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT SUPERJUNIOR OR SOME BOYBANDS..[/size]
AND HIS PLAN IS TO MAKE
SUPERUNIOR A BRANDNAME
AND MAKE LOTS OF GROUPS WITH SOME SuJu MEMBERS+SM TRAINEE IN EACH…
IF HENRY JOINS, MORE+MORE PEOPLE WILL JOIN SUPERJUNIOR
AND THEY’LL SEPARATE WHEN IT GETS TOO LARGE…
THAT’S WHAT SM’S TRYING TO DO RIGHT NOW
SO THEY CAN GO WITH THEIR “brandname” PLAN AS STATED ABOVE…
DO YOU WANT TO REPLACE SUJU WITH HENRY?!?
all he cares about is money…
he doesn’t know how many fans have cried their day away because of him…
we really love them and don’t call us crazy just because you don’t understand.
now about yelling 13 during perfs…
a lot of people think it’s rude to henry
and think we’re hurting his feelings….
so what?
maybe i’m being a little bit mean here
but to protect superjunior from separating so soon
we’re going to do anything that takes us…
i mean.. do you know how much we love them?
do you know that they’re the reason we live and eat?
we’re happy about the fact that we breathe under the same sky as them
and you’re calling us mean because we’re trying to protect them?
as i said above
we have NOTHING against henry. just SM ENTERTAINMENT AND THAT LEE SOOMAN
13+1=0
we’re people who can only count till 13
we have no reason to live without them
14th member means end to super junior….
NUMBER 13 IS SPECIAL TO US IN EVERY WAYS
AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO LET SM LET HENRY JOIN
this isn’t just a rumour….
lee soo man’s serious about this “brandname” plan…
so please… please…think before you post a hateful comment towards E.L.F.

ShenYue: If you noticed … not long ago … out of no where we had news of Kangin and Siwon’s break up with their GFs … So many of us .. didn’t even knew they had GF! Fans are thinking SM is bringing up these issues to distract the attention from this mess!
