So Ji Sub Off to Japan

I'm sure you all know that my #2 man is So Ji Sub right? *liezle blushing*

Anyway, since SJS if with BOF and BOF is BYJ and i'm supporting BYJ, BOF and SJS, i would like to share this piece of news with you.

SJS is off to Japan to promote "I'm Sorry I Love You" . Guess who is with him...yeah are correct, no other that Mgr. Yang. Here let me share with you their photo taken from the airport this morning.


If there are any Baesisters from Japan who happen to like SJS too, i hope that you can share with me any updates about his trip.

Hee, I'm sure Yong Joon wishes SJS a fruitful trip.

***

Below is SJS and Mgr. Yang at the land of the rising sun.

1st twi photos courtesy of saturn a korean sjs fan

3rd photo courtesy of Goy taken from www.sonick.jp

thanks so much to tomato99 for giving me the link to the below photos/report from imx. hee, pls don't ask me what the report says. all i know is that the photos and captions reported sjs's activities yesterday.

btw, many sjs fans noticed that sjs body looks mascular that before. hmm, i wonder if JP and Gorilla has something to do with his new buff bod?

oh look, there's the yang man ^_^

***
i think these photos were taken yesterday. don't you think that the poses look familiar? i would have wanted to post yong joon's similar photo but i can't find them.









geez, ji sub is now also wearing a pinky ring ^_^

at the presscon 06.2306





O_o he looks like yong joon if not for the cheeks. is this ms hong's work? hehehe look a black pinky ring this time ^^

hee, tomato and i thought the sjs looks like yong joon (",)

hi liezle,

i have read at SJS's JOB that there were about 300 fans waiting for him at Haneda airport.
(Our Mr. Yang was with him....)

JOB's traffic has been very busy since last night, it's getting real difficult to read any postings.

I will come back with more info when I am able to check out other sites.

cheers,

ps: sorry, I am not really a SJS fan but since YJ is so quiet, let me follow SJS today...

liezle said...

tomato, thank you so much for your news! really appreciate it.

hey, what happened in JOB? what's the traffic is all about? ^^

you know about the event tomorrow in Yokohama?
there have been changes in actors coming to the event(sorry I don't know their names), the promotor decided to accept cancellation of tickets, and they were reselling the tickets this morning.
There have been so many complaints posted to IMX and Mr. Sohn regarding the issue.

Since this morning everyone is too excited to welcome JS there were postings from fan waiting at airport too.

I have seen the posting that there are many ajumas chasing him to his hotel too....

liezle said...

thanks again for the update. i know that sjs is supposed to be with lsj (the lead actress lim soo jung). i hope that mgr soh will be able to handle all the complains with little headache.

liezle said...

for those interested to know, the 2 actors who weren't able to join sjs are im so jung and khj. according to saturn, which she posted at sjs thread @ soompi. both actors are from sidus management and all sidus talents have problem going overseas now.sjs felt so upset by this news.

i hope that mr sohn is doing ok with all the complains they've been getting.

anyway, imx and bof will surely handle this issue very well.

hi it's me again,,,, I just had a luck and was able to go in to JOB for a second.

SJS is now at the hall doing rehearsal for tomorrow's event.
(there are fans gathering to the hall.)

IMX says they will be updating daily reports on SJS.

liezle said...

tomato, thanks for the trouble. i really really appreciate your updates. btw, i'm sharing your updates to sjs thread at soompi and his english forum based in singapore.

bbmag said...

mmm... am abit confused... why would sjs fans be complaining on byj's job? or are you gals talking about brokore site huh?

anyhow, hope everything works out well. am sure sjs will charm everyone tomorrow.

p.s. tomato, our mr yang...?! oh alright, i'll let you say 'our' coz you're one of my fave sisters in the whole wide borld [now that's deliberate... byj-world = borld, hee...]

Anonymous said...

hi, fans are complaining about tomorrow's sjs event.... 'cause it was coordinated by IMX. they are not complaining about BYJ.

oops sorry bb, no offense about saying "our" mr. yang.... since BYJ is missing somewhere out there, let me chase mr. yang instead.

bbmag said...

liezle said...

tomato thank you thank you! sigh...i just realized that really only byjfamily has a great network and real time reporting. been waiting for updates at sjs fora and thread but news coming are kinda slow. and i've to rely on you to keep me posted and share with fans of sjs. huge huge thanks *liezle hugging tomato*

Anonymous said...

hi, liezle,

since YJ is gone somewhere i really have nothing to check during my lunchtime... i usually do not follow SJS, so i don't really know where to collect his info.
JOB and sonick.jp are still heavy and they have closed down.
let me come back with more info later.

cheers,

liezle said...

tomato, i believe all of us are finding something to kill the time while waiting for yong joon. i believe this is the longest time we have not seen any new stuff about our men (we've been pampered for seeing someting new about him almost every week. the last was GQ.

we would you believe that i'm blogging the Red Devils? i'll be posting them in a while ^_^

liezle said...

hello deodhors!

i was zapped by sjs in bali then misa. and i've known him when he was about to enter the military. i'm so happy that he is with BOF now and looking forward to his release from the military next year wit BOF/IMX taking care of him.

Anonymous said...

info from JOB posting;
(don't have the time)
SJS entered the PACIFICO HALL...
they had ropes and men waiting at the backdoor to restrict fans from getting close, BUT SJS entered from front entrance connected to the HOTEL, Inter continental(is this where he is staying?? not sure...)

Anonymous said...

http://www.brokore.com/brokore-land/detail/0623.html

SJS had taken his handprint yesterday when he visited BROKORELAND...

liezle said...

tomato the small details that you are giving is already a huge contribution...thank you so much.

i suppose the event in yokohama is already starting. ^^

Anonymous said...

it seems the event ended with SJS's singing.

SJS sang "눈의꽃," main theme for Misa(original song by Mika Nakashima) in Korean and Japanese.

fan left message that it was sooo touching and he was really good.

liezle said...

oh dear heavens! thanks again tomato. your news gives me goosebumps. i hope that sjs fans will upload the vod soon.

if you come across a photo of sjs today please give me the link. no one has posted any photos of him today yet.

*liezle hugging tomato tightly*

photo from today's press conference!!


let me just post some of fan's messages at JOB.
(it is getting heavy traffic again)

>>he came out in Black suits(tux?), then changed to white jacket gray T-shirt with light blue pants, and then finally in purple(?) suits.... He tied his hair in back...
(just like our YJ!!!)

>>there were messages from co-stars of Misa,

>>at lobby of the hall, costumes and photos from drama were displayed.

I have read that there was YJ's message too.

liezle said...

is my eyes playing tricks on me or i just really miss yong joon so much. sjs looks like yong joon in the link you gave ^ ^ . honestly if not for the cheekbones i would have thought it was yong joon O_o.

i hope we can get that message from yong joon. ^^

sweet dreams, Avon staff!!!!

liezle said...

hee, i thought i was the only one who noticed ^^ do you think that his stylist is also ms. hong? (",)

'night tomato and thank you so much!

bbmag said...

err... actually me too thot he looks a wee bit like wuri yong joon.

similar, but still not quite the same. both are very attractive in their own ways.

Anonymous said...

thanks leizle for the news! Yeah, I notice SJS's fashion style is very similar to Yong Joon except he has a bit of a rocker feel while YJ is more princely. He's very lucky to be so well taken care of by BOF.

Lucky for bb and yokee, even though they can't see Yong Joon, at least their Manager Yang did make a recent appearance. For us "Yong Joon only" fans, my neck is getting so long now, it's practically hanging outside my window.

yokee 요키 said...

huiyo....is that what u call a 'lookalike' or just 'coincidence similarity'?

ms hong is his stylist but IMHO i think sjs should hv his very own image. kinda like his MISA cum Bali look..the punky punky n smart look. but maybe it runs in the family that its the culture to look like that...no? just my quarter of a cent..period.

haha jaime...thank u so much for putting another smile on my face :)

tomato..so did u manage to do what i said??

Anonymous said...

check out this Korean blog, so many photos and some vod too.
http://blog.daum.net/yyyysun

not much photos coming from the event, as usual IMX did not allow fans to use cameras.

I am sure IMX will be posting news at BROKORE
http://www.brokore.com/contents/index.asp

not sure but SJS is leaving japan on Monday??

have a nice day!!!
cheers,

ps: yokee, NO i did not have time to go to Yokohama....

liezle said...

thanks again yokee. some fans of sjs think also the he kinda look like byj especially in suit and i think they're not happy about it. they want him to have his own identity.

fans in tw were the fans to notice i believe.

i just hope that they will not say any unfavorable remarks. it's not the first time that sjs that both that this happen even when sjs was with his former mgmt co they were somehow compared bec they look a bit similar in some photos.

A news from JOB
posted by crystal in KOB

Japanese to Chinese translation by Little Dream 01 (www.onlybyj.com/news)

" A news from JOB June 23, 2006 ~

In Mr. So, Ji Sub fans' meeting today ( June 23 , it's said there have 5000 fans),
BYJ delivered his congratulation through video . He wears black suit with white shirt ,
similar to what he wore at the last wedding party in March . BYJ said , ' I am very close
to So and I treat him as my younger brother . Please support him fully.......Wish great
success to the fans meeting and wish you all have good health . "

Miss Lee , Na Young also has her video message but the cheers only comes out when showing BYJ's video . His amazing charm can be felt even through video only .
And Mr. Yang , Kang Won and Miss Hung also presented in this event ."

bbmag said...

thanks liezle for all the updates! and tomato too :)

me too, like yokee, i also like sjs in his punk-rock-hip-hop style. actually in terms of dressing, i too hope the two men won't be too similar, it ain't good for sjs and some sjs fans may not like it too. yea, he oughta have his own identity.

but that said and done, i do think the similarity is more than just the clothes :)

and... wondering what crystal meant... mr yang also presented in the event? he was part of the program line-up, or was she trying to say he was present? mmm... want to see clips if he went on-stage :p

liezle said...

let me just share with you what i've posted in jisubaddict forum when they saw the photo of sjs who somehow resembled byj.

liezle wrote ~

i just knew somehow that this will come up. the resemblance here here and here [i've posted the photos from byj and sjs at the autograph session] between byj and sjs came even before sjs came to bof . and it happened again. yes similar, i like their quiet and shy ways, but still not quite the same. both are very attractive in their own ways.

when sjs was still with his old mgmt company i said the i think that he will be the next big thing. i know we all have our own bet but i really do believe that sjs has the making of becoming the next korean wave star. be it with other management company or with bof.

btw, not sure if this is true but my japanese friend said she thinks that SJS will be leaving Japan on Monday.

the video and photo not allowing by IMX is their way. in japan they have a strong law when in comes to copyright. I am sure IMX will be posting news at BROKORE and here's the link
http://www.brokore.com/contents/index.asp

thunder replied ~

Hi liezle

I can't open the photo links you provided but in my mind, Jisub and BYJ are absolutely not alike, whether in looks or personality.

I'm sure BOF will promote Jisub well; in fact, they're already doing it way before he finishes his stint in the army. There are people who have mixed feelings about how he's being promoted, even about him being with BOF. But I trust Jisub; I believe he's still the same inside even if the way he's being managed has changed quite drastically. I know some of us miss the very personal (even motherly) style of Ms Kim, his ex-manager. She gave us so many personal insights of Jisub. My impression is that BOF's style is very businesslike and professional.

In the long run, I want Jisub to be successful. But more important than that, I want him to be happy. BYJ is extremely successful in the financial sense but I do not know if he's happy. I rarely read his news but recently I couldn't resist reading a recent BYJ interview that was posted at hotelier2002 and he didn't seem happy. That's just my impression; I could be very wrong. As someone who loves and supports Jisub unconditionally, I just want him to be happy. I hope he has a big say in how he's managed by BOF.

Thanks for posting his news. You're more familiar with BOF than any of us and we're grateful for all the news and links you provide. *muak*

Back to Jisub's latest pics. I admit I was startled when I saw his hair! But after the initial shock and after repeated scrutiny (JSAs are experts at srutinizing our guy, hehe), all I saw was that familiar face. That same shy smile. That same wave. Our beloved Jisub. And I felt extremely happy.

thunder

my reply ~

like i said both are attractive in their own ways. and both display different kind of aura and magnetism.

hee, that GQ interviews has many versions i believe and some interpreted in differently. please try reading this more comprehensive version http://happiebb.blogspot.com/2006/05/bbs-version-gq-interview.html

from jeanwhale ~

Dear liezle, thunder and JSAs:

Actually, I dont'y feel they are similar in the pictures that liezle offered......

However, in the photo that we mentioned about this event.......the smile, the style.......ah.....make me feel that looks similar to BYJ (Other style are ok just the one......)

I know they are different.

I know BOF may make Sonick more successful.

However, I hope Sonick won't loss himself, and can keep his own style during this progress.......

I'm sorry for bringing you a heavy heart......

my reply ~

hi jean! don't worry it's no big deal it's actually not even talked about in byj's camp. they find the similarity in some photos and that's it. they know very well that both have their own personality and uniqueness.

sjs will not definitely lose his touch. he'll be the same sjs no matter who handles him. he knows what he is doing. he won't let others manipulate him.

not sure if sjs's stylist is also ms. hong (i think she used to be ssh's stylist too). if it's ms hong then you guys better write her via bof

from jeanwhale ~

(p.s.....another Wish....Hope BOF won't promote Sonick as a "product" but as a "Man"........)

from cyan4jy [a fellow byj and sjs fan]

Hi Liezle! I agree with you. It can't be helped that byj and sjs will be compared somehow. Both of them are unique in their own ways and both are great actors. True, SJS has the making of the next korean wave star. What I can say for BOF is that they have the eye for actors with great potential. I think they are doing a good job with SJS even if he is still in the military service. And I am certain that SJS will make a 'big bang' as soon as he leaves the military.

I am extremely happy seeing SJS again.(now sporting long hair)

today's SJS: did some interviews with media.

these photos are from editor's blog of Japanese magazine"Korea Movie"

http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/koreamovie/imgs/e/d/ed589480-s.jpg

http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/koreamovie/imgs/e/d/edcdca48-s.jpg

He is so good looking, handsome and such a good personality. He is so charming, you cannot find a GOOD person like him soooo often.
I took good photos, our eyes met so many times!!!
(details will be included in "Korea Max vol.4" on sale Aug.22)

+++++++++++
JOB updated today's report
http://www.jisub.jp/report.html

(translation:"I want to meet many Japanese people, as many as possible, even if that means cutting time to rest." One day after the event, he answered to many interviews seriously and with smile. When a cameraman says "you are looking good!", he replys in Japanese, "Arigato-gozaimasu(thank you)." Even when he is interviewed in Japanese, he would look straight in interviewer's eyes and tries to listen and understand. His sincerity appealed people.

Today, his manager was saying "I haven't told anyone yet," and told us a story,that was his remarks from yesterday's event, "When I went on stage, my heart was full with appreciation to everyone. I almost forgot all the Japanese I had remembered." During the interviews, he was answering that"I am basking in the afterglow of yesterday's event."
It is a story that you can feel his warmhearted personality to his staff and fans. )

liezle said...

thank you thank you tomato! really appreciate all your effort. honestly up to know i can't see any english translation from any of sjs thread. this will surely make the fans of sjs happy despite the fact that they still can't accept that sjs somehow resembled byj ^^ and that they still have doubts with bof in handling sjs.

bbmag said...

liezle,

i think this is one matter that only time will tell. i believe in time, sjs fans will realise that sjs has a better chance of being his own man being able to shape his own life if he's with bof.

or at least that's what i truly believe in. also, the things that yong joon has gone thru in his time, including the explosive popularity he's experienced, will certainly help to guide sjs in his career and all.

i like to think that yes, bof takes the professional route, but they should be a team that takes care of their talents too.

i hope i'm right.

p.s. thanks, tomato, for all the updates and sharing :)

liezle said...

hi bb! yup i definitely agree with you. it's not been a year that sjs is with bof and fans are still adjusting to the new management.

i'm not sure if i've informed you before, but sjs used to have an all female staff. it's very different with bof now. as we all know bof is dominated by male staff.

i really do wish that sjs will get many pointers from byj especially in managing his finances. sjs had a hard time when he was still not in the biz. he lives with his mom [he loves his mom so much and we haven't heard anything about his father] and his only sister is in australia with her family.

sjs has been in the biz for 10 yrs and from what i read he still doesn't own a house.

sjs with bof/byj, i really hope that he'll be able to achieve what he's dreaming and be happy.
