Maknae as a Pro-Gamer

There are so many things going on with Maknae and Jung Min. I'm saddened that their projects are being overshadowed by some other issues.

Anyway, thanks to xiaochu for translating this article on Quainte501. I'm pretty sure this is a welcome read to everyone waiting for other news.

Maknae being in MBC Game looks interesting. We all know that Maknae loves to play computer games, his skills will be tested here ^_^. I can't wait to see the result.

Idol group SS501’s Kim HyungJoon threw away his mic and held a mouse instead.

MBC Game has a newly planned program for the new year 2010, ‘SS501 HyungJoon, To Be a Pro-Gamer’ which premiers at end of January.

This program, as Kim HyungJoon said, is “a new step into a new field”, a real variety program that shows the preparation and hard work to become a professional gamer, and the competition with gamers from MBC Game HERO. In this program, Kim HyungJoon will be challenging to become a gamer.

Kim HyungJoon started his first filming last week at Yeoido MBC Game Studio and completed his game test. After which, he will be under the guidance of director Ha TaeKi of MBC Game HERO, learning all there is of a professional gamer, it is said that director Ha TaeKi had Kim HyungJoon undertake a stringent test at a practice room.

In the first filming, Kim HyungJoon had an exciting battle with former pro-gamer, currently a commentator, Han SeungYeop. Lee SeungWon, Lim SungChoon, Yoo ByungJoon and professional gamer Seo KyungJong, attended to this event and observed carefully over Kim HyungJoon’s play and analyzed his weaknesses, and giving straight to point solutions.

Kim HyungJoon expressed “Besides being known as SS501’s magnae, I want to earn another nickname for myself now. It is more than a simple interest, I will treat it seriously as a profession. I will work hard on it.”

Broadcast is 27-Jan at 4pm.

Hi Liezle,

I agree with you. I get pretty upset too when the projects/efforts by Jung Min and Maknae are overshadowed by other issues. Hope their fans can move on and look at the other members' project and effort. The other members too, are working very hard and they definitely deserve our support. :)

With all the sad things happening, i hope TS will stay strong and fight through this with SS501. it's been a rough start to the year but good things have been happening such as with Baby and Jung Min. Plus, i'm sure Leader is back happier and stronger than ever and Kyu Jong and Young Saeng aswell! so instead of looking into the negatives, lets support them with the positives :)
Baby + Jung Min fighting ^^
SS501 fighting!

The situation is bad enough, isn't? Instead of adding more negative comments into that, why don't just be supportive to all five of them.

am glad that mal and magnae are active while saddened because of past week's crisis but how come there are no news about sweet kyuJong's birthday? or the whereabouts of Badboy prince YoungSaeng?

can anyone shed light or news on this....thanks

Hey liezle,

at any given day, i would give my full support to the other members but i just can't take it when Leader is hurting and going thru a rough time yet the other members are so quiet.

i know it isn't right but unless i get the other members' stand on the issue, i can't seem to open a video or read articles about their solo activities.

the fans have spoken and have shown their love to Hyun Joong but what about them? i know others would say their support for one another is a "GIVEN" but i wish that they'll speak up soon.

a declaration of support from the other members is all that i hope for now.

it's not my intention to stir up something and i'd totally understand if you opt to delete this. these are just my thoughts...

Thanks

janjan

Hi janjan! I'm 501% sure that they are supporting hyun joong on this. it's just that they can't say anything about this issue bec it's a sensitive topic. and you know how netizens are.

but i can tell you that young saeng was at leader's house the day after sbs released the video.

thanks for the assurance, girl. i never really doubted it, though. its just that i feel that sometimes, encouragement and support are better off spoken.

Super thanks also for the update on YS (missing him too!) being beside Leader in all of these. it's just the kind of news that we need to hear to lift our spirits.

it's pretty late (...or early? he he)Let's hit the bed! good night and God Bless.

(You know you're a blessing to us international fans, right?)
