[Translation] BYJ met Hyunjoong in Cafe Miel at Cheongdamdong

Every time you go to Miel, you run into celebrities.
Everyone acts like they aren't paying attention, but they all look.
Even I looked too. We all steal looks.
Hehehe... That's why Miel is a fun place.

Today, someone we saw was Kim Hyun Joong.
He is tall and good looking, and you can tell right away when you see him.
Everyone looks at him quietly. He mustn't like it.
Everyone starts grabbing their cellphones. I sent a text message to my friend Bokii.

(Everyone must have sent messages like me, right?
"I'm in Miel right now and Kim Hyun Joong is here. He is good looking.)

(Reply right away...
"You must be happy that he's good looking.)

After texting back and forth a couple of times, our interest disappeared
And we get deep into our own conversations.

I get a weird feeling from the table next to me. They're Japanese women. They look over at Kim Hyun Joon over and over again.
"Wow, Kim Hyun Joong is very popular," I thought.

After some time, we got up to leave the Cafe.
Kim Hyun Joong also got up as well.

Then, the Japanese women had disappeared after we had gotten our check and paid.
They must have luggage. How courageous, they must have gone to follow Kim Hyun Joong.

Kim Hyun Joong is in front of us, but the Japanese women aren't talking to him.
They aren't even taking glimpses of him.
"What is this?" I think.

They say hello to the man wearing a cap who was sitting next to Kim Hyun Joong.
"Huh? What is this?" I think...
Who is this? The person who is smiling at these Japanese women is Yonsama.
The guy that is supposedly an absolute God to these Japanese women.
It was Bae Yong Joon.

He smiles pleasantly and greets the Japanese women.
On and on...
Even as he gets in the car... the women were in shock of how nice he was.

Then, he and Kim Hyun Joong get in the Benz leisurely.
Today, I confirmed with my own eyes the popularity of Yonsama.
It definitely isn't a lie.
I thought that we were dramatic in our country.

But why were the two of them together?
Kim Hyun Joong and Yonsama don't go together...

[Fan Account] Hyunjoong last day in Cebu Philippines [100623]

Credit: sarangkhj @ www.liezle.blogspot.com

I woke up at 5 am and decided to get pictures of the sunrise. When I passed his room, he was there at the veranda. I could not believe it. Leader awake at 5:20 am (that was the time when I passed his room). I did not expect him to be awake, with his history of having a hard time waking up. His two security guards were outside the room, chilling.

A friend informed me that there was a Korea soccer match at 2 am. So, it could be that he did not sleep yet and was still awake from watching the soccer match or he really just woke up early.

I passed by his room again at 7:20 am. He was still there with his very distinct voice, talking with his friends.

My family and I swam at the pool the whole morning. There were no signs of him the whole time. We left the resort at around 1:30. Before that we strolled around the resort but were not able to catch a glimpse of leader. At 1:00 pm, his companions had lunch at the Kilimanjaro restaurant but no leader. He was probably sleeping now after staying up late to watch the soccer match (only my guess).

I then deduced that he would be taking the midnight trip as he was still at the resort at 1:30 pm. His group was booked up to this day, June 23.

We, with other tsp fans here in Cebu, then planned to go see him off at the airport. I got there at 9 pm and the others got there at 8 pm. I am so grateful to leader. Because of him, I have new friends (Kimy, Richelle, Kristine, Danyelle, Sherry, Jubhe) whom I would never have any chance to meet if it were not for our love of him. I got to meet these friends through the blogs and internet. I also met in the airport two other tsp fan. They went there just to get a glimpse of leader. Nice meeting you, Sherry and Kitkat.

We positioned ourselves at the chairs facing the entrance so we can see him as he comes inside. At 10:00, there was still no sign of him. Finally, at around 10 plus, one of his bodyguards arrived. I informed the others. After awhile the dancers and make up artists came too. They stopped in front of us. We sat there just getting giddy at the thought that he is on the way. We sat the whole time, really quiet and trying to contain our excitement.

The dancers stood there just milling around. They even started doing some dance moves right there. A Korean guy in shorts came and the female Korean who met them when leader arrived came also. They facilitated the getting of tickets. They took the passports and tickets and brought inside the departure area. This took like an hour or so. The whole time, the dancers were just standing, talking, sitting and even dancing. One dancer did the ‘love ya’ dance moves. Another two did dance turns and so forth.

The group of course noticed us and I’m sure they knew that we were waiting for leader. I was especially feeling conscious because I was worried that some of them might recognize me from Plantation bay. I did see them so several times there. However, we did not disturb them and so I guess they did not mind us at all also.

This whole time, leader was inside the van parked outside the airport. Another tsp fan was there and she saw him inside the van. One of the security guards told her no pictures but it is okay to take a video. Sadly, her video was accidentally erased.

The sales ladies inside the airport started to get excited as they learned that leader was here and on his way. However, after a long time, he still did not come out.

At 12 plus, the dancer group went inside but leader still did not come out. We were getting worried if he might use a different entry. At this time, there were very little people left at the airport. Only two group of passengers and their family and friend were left and of course us. One of the passengers was a Korean. They also learned about leader and got excited.

Finally, we saw the airport guard asking people to move aside. We then knew he was coming. All of a sudden more people appeared. Just a second ago, the airport was very quiet and with very little people and suddenly people just appeared. Leader with Laura, 3 security guards (in black shirts and jeans) and a dancer came inside the airport. One security guard went ahead to part he crowd, while the other two stood beside leader. He wore the same shirt he did to the fan meeting in Manila minus the black vest. He was wearing shades again but his hair was just down without the ponytail. Everyone followed leader until he reached the entrance door of the departure area. People were taking pix and videos. People were also saying ‘I love you’, ‘oppa sarangheyo’, ‘leader’ and others.

Earlier, two of my new friends (Kim and Rich) prepared letters and gift for leader. They were wondering if he would take them. I told them that I am sure he will. As leader was walking up the stairs towards the departure area, he saw them holding out their gifts and letters. He really reached out and took them. See how nice he is. My friends were so kilig of course to have their letters personally received by leader. Go girls!

Inside the departure area, you can see from the video that leader really kept looking back at us, at the people who were there to say goodbye. He faced the crowd and waved and he even said ‘kamsamhamnida’. Before disappearing from view, he raised both hands and waved.

Goodbye leader. It was great meeting you. The whole experience feels so surreal but unforgettable.

Bless (the) Beast, Hyun Joong and K-Pop fans
By Patricia Esteves(The Philippine Star) Updated June 25, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines – Without a doubt, K-Pop has swept and captured the hearts of many Filipino fans.

If you are wondering who the teenage group, tweens and even the twenty somethings are adoring these days, chances are they’ll tell you it’s the K-Pop groups.

This was evident during Super Junior’s massive concert here last April 10.

The SUJU were the first K-Pop group to hold a full-length concert in the country at the iconic Araneta Coliseum before 8,000 adulating young Filipino fans.

This was followed by a concert of another K-Pop boyband group U-Kiss also at the Araneta Coliseum.

A girl group, 4 Minute also visited briefly but nonetheless received a warm reception from the fans.

Never mind that fans cannot fully comprehend the lyrics of the songs or the Korean language, when they attend theconcerts, they were simply thrilled to breathe the same air as their idols and be able to listen to them sing and dance live.

Through YouTube and other social networking sites, K-Pop has successfully seeped into the consciousness of Filipinos. Fans are primed by songs, videos, TVshows of K-Pop groups that are ever more accessible through the web.

The K-Pop infatuation continued last week when Filipino fans rapturously welcomed another popular Korean boy band group Beast and heartthrob Kim Hyun Joong of the hugely popular Korean soap Boys over Flowers (BoF).

Hyun Joong and Beast performed alongside with Pinoy pop groups, Pop Girls and XLR8 in a benefit concert for young unwed mothers billed K-Pop meets P-Pop last Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum.

Part of the concert proceeds went to the Abiertas House of Friendship (AHF), a non-government organization that supports women with children out of wedlock.

In an interview, Hyun Joong and Beast said this advocacy means a lot to them and that’s why they decided to give part of the proceeds to the organization.

The crowd at the concert was a mix of young Filipino and Korean fans who were armed with glowsticks, fanboards and of course, their cameras.

Everytime a music video of Beast’s song Shock would appear on the giant LED television, fans would sing along and scream at the top of their lungs.

Even though the lyrics are in Korean, Pinoys know each line to heart and sing the music like it’s their own.

Beast which means Boys of the East Standing Tall, is composed of six boys namely Doo Joon, Hyung Seung, Jun Hyung,Yo Seob, Gi Kwang and Dong Woon.

Fans went loud and wild when Beast finally showed up on stage and performed very expert dance moves.

Every strut, arm wave or killer smile elicited the most deafening screams from fans.

Beast performed their hits Special, Bad Girl, Mystery, Oasis, Easy and Shock.

A kilig moment at the concert was when Beast members sang “Oasis” while throwing away long-stemmed red roses to the audience.

During the interview portion, Beast thanked their Filipino fans for the outpour of love and support and promised to come back again to the Philippines.

Meanwhile, the P-pop counterparts XLR8 and P-Pop also gave outstanding performances proving that Filipinos is at par with the Korean idols.

But the night belonged to the very handsome Hyun Joong.

Filipino fans more than heartily welcomed Hyun Joong when he arrived at the NAIA last week.

Michelle, 14, is impressed at Hyun Joong’s finely-chiseled looks, flawless skin and soulful eyes. But more than that, she likes how talented he was as an actor, singer and dancer.

“Aside from that, he is very gentlemanly and refined. He is really gorgeous,” she said.

At the concert, fans were cheering and chanting his name non-stop.

When he finally came onstage, the crowd grew wild and loud with screaming.

Hyun Joong performed three songs including the hit Please be nice to me.

He became popular in the Philippines via the hit 2009 Korean drama series Boys over Flowers, where he plays the character of Yoo Ji Hoon, the charismatic gentleman of the F4 group.

Hyun Joong is also the leader of the SS501 which produced popular hits like Because I’m Stupid andMaking A Lover, which are both included in the OST of BOF.

At the concert, Hyun Joong was dapper in an all-white suit and gamely answered all questions.

Pinoy fans were touched by his sincerity and enthusiasm to familiarize himself with the country.

When he was here, he granted a lot of interviews, held a fan meet and guested in a noontime show.

He said he wanted to get to know and eventually gain Filipino friends here.

Hyun Joong endeared himself more to the fans when he spoke in Tagalog, especially when he said Gusto ko kayo Makilala, Kamusta Kayo, Mahal ko Kayo andMaraming salamat po.

Saying these phrases made the crowd went wild again.

Asked if it he could like a Pinay and eventually have a girlfriend, Hyun Joong said he wants to get to know that somebody first and be friends and see where it would lead.

He also said he was fascinated by the Philippines for its fresh air and wonderful nature spots.

Hyun Joong also said in a previous interview that he is single at the moment.

Asked what qualities he likes in a girl, Hyun Joong said he wants someone who could make him laugh and willing to be friends first.

Another highlight of the concert was when the audience greeted him a happy birthday with matching cake to boot.

Hyun Joong celebrated his 25th birthday last June 6. K-Pop die-hard fans Gelli de Belen and Candy Pangilinan brought the cake for him at the stage.

Fans felt how much Hyun Joong appreciated the sweet gesture and they want him to come back to the Philippines soon.

He was also asked if he knew there was a SS501 fan club here in Manila and he said he was surprised to learn there was and promised he would include Manila in their itinerary when their band tours Asia.

The group’s official fan club in the country, Triple S Philippines were in full force at the concert.

The most applauded or ear-drum breaking moment (due to the squealing) was when he sang his popular song Please be nice to me, looking so suave and well, cool in doing the dance moves.

If anything, the concert proved how much Pinoy fans truly adore Hyun Joong.

He promised his fans that he would come back to the country and try the food here and other stuff and also expressed his intention to do a drama.

The night ended with Hyun Joong, the Beast, XL8R and Pop Girls singing Michael Jackson’s Heal the World with young students.

[Fan account] Hyunjoong 3rd day in Cebu Plantation Bay

Credit: sarangkhj @ www.liezle.blogspot.com

Leader was initially booked at Imperial Palace resort but he did not push thru, maybe because it was crowded and more people will recognize him. He then checked in at Mactan Isla Resort and Spa in Lapu-lapu. He stayed at Isla resort because he is friends with the owner. There was no booking for him there. His friend probably offered and he obliged.

Initially he was set to stay at Isla resort for 3 days. However, he checked out on June 21 at 3 pm. He wanted to swim either Monday am or Sunday night and was not able to due to the pool being chlorinated. I heard another version of the reason why he could not swim but I will not get into that. But he was able to swim one time. He has a nice body according to people who saw him (we know that already). he he he

So, Leader moved to Plantation bay resort on June 21 at past 3 pm. That night his group went out for dinner.

June 22, 2010, an angel (he he he) booked a room for me and my family at Plantation Bay resort and spa. I was not sure if he was really there; I hoped and prayed he would be. I was there anyway for my family.

After settling into our room, we went around the resort. We went inside their gift shop and after awhile, two big guys came inside- his two bodyguards. OMG! I thought to myself, leader is really here. The 2 security guys just looked around.
We continued with our walk, my companions wanted to ride the cart as they were getting tired from walking. I flagged down a cart and there sitting was Laura, the Korean interpreter. I sat down beside her. This really confirms that leader was here. She got off at a building and I noted this building as this could be leader’s room and it was. The 2 security guys I saw in the gift shop were there and got on the go cart as well.

We then went to the restaurant to get drinks. Leader’s friends (my friends said they were his dancers and make up artist) were having lunch there. There were around 9 guys, including the bodyguards and 3 girls, including Laura with Leader in this trip.

We went to the pool to swim. At around 4 pm, leader’s companions went to the pool to swim. No sign of leader.
I invited two friends to come visit me at Plantation. They arrived at 5 pm. They went around the resort in the hopes of seeing leader. I stayed at the pool with my family.

At 5:30, the KHJ group stopped swimming and left. At around 6:30 pm my friends came back and reported that they did not see leader at all. I then decided to stroll around the resort with them. I showed them first the other fresh water pool. It was in an elevated place with just 4 steps. We looked around. As we walked down the steps out of the pool area and back to the main walkway, I heard voices. At the end of the step, I looked up and there walking towards us was leader with 3 other companions. Leader looked at us, paused and smiled. He really paused and he looked like he was waiting for a reaction from us. Our eyes met and I smiled. We continued walking like it was any other ordinary day. That was around 6:43 pm. When we were at a distance where he couldn’t see us, that was the time we freaked out. HA HA HA. Beforehand, I told my friends that we just have to be relaxed and not disturb him. I wanted him to have a relax time here and not be harassed.

That moment we met him was played out like in a slow motion movie. Our hearts really stopped. It was like everything was moving at a very slow pace.

That time he was walking was the time he just came from playing soccer with his friends at the tennis court. Talk about being a soccer freak, he he he. He was wearing a sleeveless gray shirt with some print or design and board shorts. He had his hair in the same way when he arrived, the small ponytail on top of his head. He was sweating but still looked good. He was talking and was having fun with his companions. His other companions walked out of the tennis court after awhile.

My friends and I continued our stroll. We were floating the whole time. I went back to the pool where my family was still swimming. My two friends decided to stroll some more in the hopes of seeing him again. I decided to swim then as I have already seen leader. At around 7:15 pm, my friends’ texted that they got information that leader and his party of dancers will have dinner at Galapagos beach (the beach area of the resort where there is a bar. Tables and chairs are set up for guests) where there will be a cultural show. They decided to stay there and wait for him. I opted to stay in the pool and continued swimming. At around 7:30 or so, I saw leader’s friends and one bodyguard enter Kilimanjaro restaurant beside the pool where I was. I thought, maybe they are not joining leader in the beach area. However, after 10 minutes or so, leader comes in with the rest of his party. They started ordering and chatting. I couldn’t believe my luck. He was on a table right beside the pool. I had a very nice view of him eating. He did look up from his eating once and saw me in the pool. No one else was swimming, except me and my family (I was with 3 family members). I got a video of him (discretely, without him noticing) while eating. The video is dark and not so clear but at least I got something.

Near 8 pm. my friends came to the pool as they heard that he was in the pool restaurant. I asked them to get a video of him while eating. They were able to position themselves at the top of the steps of the slide outside the restaurant. Aside from my friends, staff from other departments went in groups of 3 and 4 to look at leader in the restaurant. Everybody kept their distance and just looked at him from outside the restaurant. They were so excited to see him but only observed from afar. Even the cooks and kitchen staff stared at leader from the kitchen, just observing him.

At 8 pm, the pool was closed for cleaning and we had to stop swimming. I decide to eat at the restaurant. As we entered the restaurant, leader and some oh his companions looked up. I caught his eye again. I just went to a table and sat down. I purposely sat with my back to him coz I know I will not be able to help myself from staring. After awhile, I did turn casually and looked at him. He also turned to look up and our eyes met again. My heart stopped again. I am getting heart burns from this, he he he. I just looked away, as if just like nothing. I don’t know how I managed to sit there and not rush to him and just hugged him. I glanced at him again at another time and just perfect timing, he would also look up and catch my eye.

They chatted while eating. I heard kimchi being delivered to their table. He has a loud voice and would stand out from the rest or maybe I have his voiced memorized and so I can pick out his voice from the rest. Anyway, I enjoyed my meal while listening to him talk to his companions. After he was done, he left ahead of the others. He stood up, one bodyguard went ahead, he followed and another bodyguard followed him. Laura also stood up to go after him but she came back to the table. I was able to video this but very short. The staff said kamsamhamnida to him and he slightly bowed in return.

After eating, I went back to the room. We got information that his group was going out and that they were at the lobby. Maybe they will hang out somewhere. At around 10 pm, my family and I went swimming again. When we passed by his room, we heard voices inside. So, I’m not sure if he really went out or stayed in. They were booked in Iguaso building with 3 or 4 rooms (not too sure) sharing an open sala. It had a big veranda and it was slightly covered with trees. Plantation bay has different names for each of their buildings and places. The reception lobby was called Alcatraz, the buildings are named from A to Z.

I went to sleep that night contented to be in the same place as leader.
