[Trans & Video] SS501 Exclusive Interview with SOHU (11/12)

Alright before you watch this... just in case some of you still don't know, Kyu Jong and Maknae left separate messages last night to thank all the green peas for their winning in MuBank. You may click HERE for Kyu Jong message and HERE for Maknae's message.

Okay on with the video that I'm sure you'll be enjoying. Translation of what they said is posted below.

I'm SHOVING this post UP since sume was able to download from Sohu and upload successfully the video on her sume21 channel on YT. Thank you so much! Been waiting for this. The vid on Silverlight keeps on buffering.

Super thanks to finkle for doing the translation of this interview and posted on KHJ thread @ soompi. Likewise, thanks finkle for giving me the permission to post it here on my blog.

Hope that this translation as finkle said would make fans fans of Kyu Jong not worry too much.

This is a very interesting interview by Sohu. I like it when Young Saeng gave us reassurance that they will remain to to 5 as 1 even. Kyu Jong hinted that Leader will start a film soon but of course we cannot guarantee that it's the one that was on the news recently. So please guys, wait for DSP or Leader announcement before celebrating.

Sohu Online News Report:
Novembr 12 afternoon, all 5 members of popular Korean boyband SS501 appeared in Shanghai to promote their Shanghai concert to be held on 11/14.

After the press conference, ss501 accepted Sohu’s exclusive interview.

Since their debut 5 years ago, the 5 members have matured quite a bit, but during the interview, they continued to portray their bickering personalities, boy-next-door friendly charm, just like before.

Sohu: Firstly, please say hi to all your China fans.

SS501: Hi everyone, we are ss501 (‘waves’)
JM: I am Jungmin (‘smile sweetly and waves’). Hi!
Baby: (snatches the mike) I am Hyung Jun (‘waves’)
Leader: I am Hyun Joong (‘waves’)
YS: Hi everyone, I am Young Seang.
Kyu: I am Kyu Jong, hi! (‘waves’)

Sohu: This is the second time in Shanghai having a concert. Compared to the first time, what is it that you feel is different? What special expectations do you have for the upcoming concert?

Leader: This concert is to make up for the regret of not being able to showcase for the fans the last time. And the concert this time is outdoors, and it is our first outdoor concert, so we hope that the fans would bring their warmest enthusiasm to cheer us on.

Sohu: Rebirth, which has just been released, has achieved excellent results in Korea. Congrats! The fans are very concerned about the full 2nd album. When is it planned to be released?

Leader: We also hope that the album would be released soon. We will work harder for an earlier release (‘other 4 members clap’)

Sohu: What award expectations do you have for the end-of-the-year awards ceremony? Currently, SS501 is number 1 for the MAMA Overseas Award. How do you feel about that?

JM: Firstly, this award is voted for by the fans, and it is an overseas award. We believe that the China fans have contributed a lot, thank you everyone. We hope that you will continue to support us, as well as Rebirth.

Sohu: The members have started to compose and write lyrics. Have you ever thought about releasing an album that is made up of only songs composed by the members?

Baby: Up till now, we have tried composing, writing lyrics, and in Rebirth, all 5 wrote the lyrics for the fan song. So it is possible that the next album would be all our compositions and that the production of all the songs would be undertaken by us. We are singer, songwriter SS501!(‘the sudden change to mandarin in pronouncing SS501 made JM laugh’)

Sohu: What do you feel is your greatest achievement and regret since your debut 5 years ago?

Leader: 5 years is not long and not short. During this time, we have a lot of overseas and Korean fans, and our popularity has been going up and down. Actually, all this is interesting, because up till now, SS501 finally has its own style and ‘colour’. From today on, we will continue to reward everyone with our unique ss501 music.

Sohu: So what plans do you have for the next 5 years?

YS: I think that even 5 years later, the 5 of us would still be together making music, and portray our charisma and charm through various activities. And I think even then, we will not change, we will walk till the end with our current condition. (‘all members clap’)

Sohu: Although Leader has returned back to Kim Hyun Joong from Yoon Ji Hoo, besides Leader, will the other members want to challenge acting in dramas and movies in the future? What kind of role does each member wish to portray?

Kyu: Actually all 5 of us are prepared. JM has opened the doors to acting through his musical, and Baby has finished filming a drama which will be aired soon. The 5 of us work very hard at our individual activities. Leader would soon have a new film, so hope that you will not only pay attention to our music activities, but also acting, DJ, hosting activities. Please support!

(Kyu passed the mike to YS: the role that YS wants to portray is?)

YS: Actually, I am ok with any role (Kyu at the side makes a boxer/boxing action). I would like to try Leader’s type of role in BOF.

Sohu: Can you all cope with your Korea promotional activities as well as the Asia tour at the same time?

Leader: This question should be answered by the most health-conscious, ‘zai nan (I don’t know what is the word in English, it refers to the boys who don’t like to go out and like to stay at home) JUNG MIN!

JM: We have been continuously taking care of our stamina, and for me I will eat food like ginseng etc. Also I feel that for challenging work, the attitude is very important, don’t build up too much stress, this would be good for the health... (‘suddenly yells at the other members ‘SO NOISY’!!!!’) (continues smiling at the camera) ... like this... is very helpful for relieving stress (Baby was stunned by the sudden yell, Leader put the mike in front of Baby)

Baby: Please quickly go on to the next question.

Sohu: What are your upcoming plans?

(At this time, Baby pushes the mike to Leader, but Leader and JM insist that Baby answer, a scene of giving way ensues)

Baby: We will continue to work hard. We have come back as 5 after 1 year 7 months. For the end-of-year projects and Asia Tour, we will portray our best side to everyone. Hope that everyone will support Rebirth! (‘all members clap’)

Sohu: Please say some parting words to your China fans

(JM snatches the mike)

JM: Friends, help me? Help help! (not sure about his mandarin pronunciation, looked at the interpreter for confirmation)

Baby: Thank you!

Leader: Hi everyone (Attention! He said it in Shanghainese!)

YS: I love you.

Kyu: You are welcome (bursts out laughing)

Sohu: The exclusive interview video footage would be out soon, please anticipate!

liezle said...

hi liliya! it doesn't play in my computer. some component must be needed in order for me to play it.

~liezle

p.s. i'll forward the link to shirbogurl so that she can upload it on yt.

liliya said...

Really. Let's wait for Shirley. Anyway, they are so cute in there!

liezle said...

Argh!!! the agony of waiting! Shirley must be sleeping still or having some dream of Kyu Jong. I hope when she wakes up she sees this. She's been worrying about Kyu all day.

you and finkle are getting me anxious. ^_^ been going to baidu to check if i've luck in clicking something that would have that vid. ^_^

~liezle

mel_1223 said...

Ahhh thank you for the translation. I just got back and got so happy catching up with so many nice good news!

Ah... i m too happy til i feel i can cry out in happiness...

n tml when JM sings a new chinese song, i think i will really teared up...sob sob sob (in happinesss!)

Summer A. said...

hi liezle,
i think it's a silverlight video so maybe you can try downloading related components? cos it seems to work on my mac, but i can't get it off the website cos there isn't any compatible programmes for mac to download the videos :((

liezle said...

Hi Summer A. I'm trying to d/l but still unlucky. I'll keep on trying. ^_^

~liezle

liezle said...

mel, mel, mel, you are really missing jung min, right?

sume said...

ahhhh.. i'm buffering it right now and it just stopped at the double HJ moment! adorable!! :) not gonna give spoiler to those who've not watched it yet.. ^^

hmm.. i think kyu's a bit unwell. his eyes look tired and they're not 'smiling' the way it used to. hope they recharged enough for PERSONA later on today.. but he looks alright, still can do the boxing move when Young Saeng hyeong was talking.

anyways, can't seem to download it off the site, liezle. i installed the silverlight program and it seemed to play after that.. laggy though, but i think that problem's on my part. i'm using firefox on windows xp pro.

***************

just started replaying, and Jung Min yelled reaaaally loud, but baby who was sitting next to him didn't have much of a reaction.. wonder if he's used to it? :)

okay, i'm making you people who can't watch crazy right? hahahaha.. k, i'll stop. if i can download it from the site, i'll let you know.

liezle said...

darn i'm so envious of you guys who can watch. the pc that i'm using can't d/l silverlight been trying for ages. i'll try to use my notebook later.

liezle said...

load of thanks to sume, i'm able to install silverlight and watch the cute short interview of SS501.

now i know what finkle and liliya are saying about the boys. they're really cute in their own ways. and the interview mood is very different from the earlier one with the media. though kyu jong still doesn't look that good but in this vid he doesn't look that sad unlike the first one.

tom and gerry, they're always cute. leader and maknae's moment... cute. though what leader would do then that holding hands ^_^

jung min sound scary when he shouted.

at the very end kyu jung smile/laugh after saying welcome in chinese is priceless after all the fake smile he has given earlier.

thanks again sume! now i'm going to watch the video again.

~liezle

liezle said...

need to add this before i hit the bed...

poor maknae, received a chopped from leader and shout from jung min but still he looks cool. ^_^

Harley said...

heehee I don't think leader gave Baby a chop. It is likely that he just wanted to kill a fly/mosquito on Baby's tie cuz I saw him trying to flick off something from the tie. This reminds me of how Leader caught the mosquitoes to protect his family in WGM. How cute and sweet the way leader care for baby. DHJ moments are a little bit rare these days and this is really a treat for DHJ fans. And after getting rid of the fly/mosquitoes, they even held hands *yeah I loveee it*

Thank you very much for adding the youtube link *I play the DHJ moment again and again* *oh-so-happy*

Maybe KJ was not feeling well. However, I'm relieved a lil bit after reading his message. Hope that the Music bank victory will cheer him up

JM startled me a bit ^^

*sooo in love with the cute princes in white*

ffaaiitthh said...

@ 3:35-3:46

priceless. just too priceless.

loo00oove the double HJ moment!!

Unknown said...

jung min is scary >.<

i've been really worried about kyu jong...nice to see his real smile.i wonder wat's going on?

hope they're feeling better now that they won music bank :)

very reassured that ss501 is very close and no problems b/w them

Beth said...

Dear Liezle,

I come here daily and really enjoy this site and people here. SS501 boys are so hard at working to excel. They are not just handsome in looking, they are charming in personality and character.

MAMA award over sea viewer vote is in emergency at now. ss501 had been ahead with 300,000 more votes, but SJ has caught up now. I wish our over sea fans make big effort to vote for ss501.
