This is my nook. A place where I want to share my hankering for Bae Yong Joon, my passion for SS501 [Kim Hyun Joong, Heo Young Saeng, Park Jung Min, Kim Kyu Jong, Kim Hyung Joon] and my wanting to know more about many other Korean artists. ^^
Madeleine also shared their fancams from the performance of Young Saeng at Mnet Super Concert yesterday.
Here are the videos from Madeleine uploaded by the fanclub's official uploader in YT, yssilver1103 on her YT channel.
I so love Young Saeng's hair style. He looks naughty with that kind of fringe. And the smiles that he flashes, they're so sweet and makes me miss him more.
Only few photos of Hyun Joong taken by fans from Break Down Showcase and Love-1 Festival can be seen on the web that was held in Japan over the weekend. One of those few are from the camera of A-hlia posted on her blog that I lifted from Baidu.
Now I know how sweaty Hyun Joong was during the showcase. I have been reading from tweets last Friday that he's perspiring so much. And from the photos of A-hlia, Hyun Joong seems to have sweated a lot from his performances. Click to enlarge and see sweats trickle down his face and neck.
Last July 18, Jung Min together with Juno(brother of Junsu of JYJ), ZE:A and other stars from Japan held a concert for United Nations dubbed asFriend's Whistle! Act for tomorrow! Vol.2.
In the said event Jung Min sang 'Not Alone', 'If You Cannot' and 'Do You Know'. Photos from the event then were very limited. Today at Baidu, I found seven photos of Jung Min from the portal of Innolife. Here are the set of photos.
He's just awesome and adorable. That's what I think of Hyung Jun especially for the past weeks as he has been traveling a lot and in between travels fulfills his commitment to Music High and Mnet Wide News. With heavy schedule and looking worn out at times, still he entertains fans and goofs with them at Mnet recording and airport.
Here's a few photos of Hyung Jun taken by yip shan from several Mnet Wide News recording that I lifted from Baidu.
As it was announced during the Showcase of Hyun Joong for 'Break Down' last Friday that Hyun Joong will be touring seven cities in Japan in November, his official Japanese website has already released the notice. Here's translation of the notice. Thanks to tzeyin28 for the tweet and posting on Facebook.
Btw, if you missed reading again the comment of LafoneHERE, she commented that the cities that Hyun Joong will be touring are the same cities that SS501 toured during their Heart To Heart concert tour in September 2007.

There wasn't anything about Young Saeng yesterday until few hours before midnight last night fanclubs were tweeting photos of him perfroming at Mnet Super Concert.
Here are fancams of Young Saeng performing 'Out the Club' and 'Let It Go' by rmdkdl uploaded by 501hyunsaeng and HYSmystyle on their respective YT channels.
Here's a clip of Young Saeng preparing for his performance.
This clip is when he's talking to fans before performing 'Let it Go'.
And lastly, a clip of him performing 'Let It Go'.
Another 'Let It Go' performance this time from BestYS.
Did you see his reaction at the end of his performance when firecrackers went out? Cute, right?
Here's a vid from BestYS when Young Saeng was leaving the stage and firecrackers still popping.

I am adding here photos which I lifted from Baidu that came from BestYS.
Thanks to happiebb(@baebb) for re-tweeting the tweet of chickyB829 where we can get these photos from the presscon of Hyun Joong for 'Break Down' last Friday. Finally more photos and articles are coming. Hope that we'll get to read some translated news later.
Here are the press conference photos lifted from Chosun Online.
Thanks again to wonderrrgirl for the translation of this news on her Wonderrrland blog.
Never doubted for a second that the event will not be successful. He will not be a Hallyu star for nothing.
Btw, expect many articles and photos in the coming days as Hyun Joong will be staying in Japan for quite a long time. I am pretty certain that KeyEast booked him for a lot of guestings, interviews and photoshoots.

[News] Kim Hyun Joong’s showcase in Japan Source: Newsis Translation: Wonderrrgirl
“Little Yonsama”Kim Hyun Joong (25)’s first solo album showcase in Japan has been a great success.
On the 29th in the afternoon, Kim Hyun Joong had a splendid performance on the stage, together with 1800 fans and 200 reporters in the audience at Tokyo Odaiba.
For this showcase, because there are more than 10 times the number of fans who wanted a ticket to attend this concert, this has indeed brought Kim Hyun Joong’s high popularity in Japan to light.
During the 1 hour showcase, Kim Hyun Joong revealed that “because of the many love that he has received from the Japanese fans for his solo album and to give something back to the fans, there has been ongoing plans of a tour around the whole of japan”.
The Japanese fans who were present at the showcase left comments on his Japanese mobile site, such as “This was really a magnificent performance, with great acoustic effects and everything else made the event such a satisfying and successful one”, “Hyun Joong’s dance and singing during the showcase was so handsome and it showed him at his best” .
Kim Hyun Joong is staying in Japan on the 2th of August for a ‘Playful Kiss’ event and he will be busy with several newspaper and magazine interviews as well.
Meanwhile, Keyeast revealed that Kim Hyun Joong’s Japan tour is in the midst of planning and will be “around November in 7 cities, starting from Osaka, Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima, Yokohama, Nagoya and Fukuoka”.
Super thanks to wonderrrgirl for translating this article on her blog. Thanks too for providing the link to no1KimHyunJoong where we can watch the cut of Hyun Joong from 'Secret'.
For this, the veiled friends of Kim Hyunjoong has been made known to the public.
On the 30th of July KBS 2TV ‘Saturday Freedom’, the friends of Kim Hyun Joong who runs the chicken shop were broadcasted on Secret. Kim Hyun Joong’s friends made an appearance and revealed many of their childhood memories together.
His friends revealed how they had to do his part-time job on behalf of him, making Kim Hyun Joong flustered. However, their tight friendship has filled the studio with warmth.
Also, his friends also brought the chicken they’ve prepared as they made a surprise visit to the recording studio to give support to Kim Hyun Joong who was in the midst of recording the episode. Once again those who haven’t been able to speak during the interviews beforehand are now able to speak their mind.
Without any advance notice, the flustered expressions on Kim Hyun Joong’s face became apparent, as he shortly broke into many bright smiles. Until this moment the MCs caught the brighest expression on Hyun Joong’s face as they applauded their extraordinary friendships.
Meanwhile for the episode, other than Kim Hyun Joong, Tony An, Kim Jong Min, Eun Ji Won, Narsha, Lee Su Geun, Nana etc have struggled alone as more of their secrets where revealed during broadcast.
The tight friendships that Kim Hyun Joong had with his friends were confirmed on the 30th of July episode of Secret on KBS2 ‘Saturday Freedom”

More photos from the presscon of Jung Min and Sakai Miki's 'Love Song in August' which will be shown in Japan on August 5 and every Friday there after for four weeks.
Following photos were lifted from Baidu and taken from Innolife.
Btw, please do not hotlink as I only used Imageshack to upload these photos. I can't access my Picasa account. I think Blogger is again having some issues.
I wish there are more photos from this event. Anyway, was lucky though to find this English article.
From one article I read, Love-1 Festival was attended by Kara,Rainbow, FTIsland,MBLAQ,Supernova,Infinite, Kim Hyun Joong and many more.

Just in case some of you are not in the habit of checking new comments on the comment boxes, let me shove here some information provided by Lafone regarding the number of attendance in each of the shows that Hyun Joong had. Thanks Lafone for this information!
According to Lafone...
Showcase (Zepp Tokyo in Odaiba) Invitation (lucky draw) 1400 Face shop etc 160 Total 1560 The no. of invitation was increased from 1000 to 1400.
Fuji TV Event at their amusement park, only 100 tickets was sold vs 20,000 applications. However, 6000 fans watched the open stage surrounding the 100 seats. 1000 fans went to the Haneda airport to see him.
To read more about the showcase from Lafone you may click HERE.
Finally the cut of Young Saeng in KBS Secret has finally been shown this afternoon. Here's the clip courtesy of 501hyunsaeng YT channel.
From the tweet of Stephanie(@5StarsAs1) This is what Young Saeng revealed
Young Saeng revealed Hyun Joong's secret that during the first photoshoot of their debut, they have no idea how to pose. So the photographer suggested them to wrap or put their arms on each other shoulders. Hyun Joong, on the other hand, instead of putting his arms around the members' shoulders or arms, he put his left arms on his left shoulder (meaning: like a girl's pose)
I am shoving here ueno coco's post on the sidebar. Thanks for sharing with us the video to 'Break Down' Showcase in Zepp Tokyo and clip from M. Sat that was shown today.
Looks like everywhere Jung Min goes (actually any foreign actors in Taiwan) there seems to be fans tailing him. Here is a fancam posted by jingminhuang in YT of Jung Min having his hair done in a salon on the 28th of July.
Much thanks to MarsCharisma for the tip on the link from her tweet.
I saw this photos on Baidu and from tweets I learned that the actresses with Jung Min here are Shara Lin (left) and Lia Lee (right). Thanks to PMJFC for the pix.
According to MarsCharisma's tweets the title of Jung Min's drama is "翻糖花園" which means 'Fondant Garden'. If that's really the title of the drama, I am assuming and the photos below is from one of the scenes, I think that we could tell that cakes, pastries, baking, cake shops would be just some of the elements in the drama.
Btw, I read too on Twitter that the drama already started secretly filming. Wonder what's the secrecy is all about. Anyway, really looking forward to this one. Before k-drama was really addicted to Taiwanese actors/actresses and their dramas.
I read on rainaftershine's blog that Lia Lee was once Korean exchange student. Hope she still knows hangul and will be able to help Jung Min in communicating.
P.S. I hope as the drama progresses Jung Min's stylist will change his hairstyle.
Last night Jung Min went to watch Harlem Yu's concert. He and Angie Chai were asked by Harlem to come up on stage to join him. Check this cute video of Jung Min together with Harlem (and Angie) dancing on stage to the delight of many fans.
Much thanks to ccp168 for sharing this video on YT. Loads of thanks as well to p_jungmin43 for the tweet early this morning for the link.
Thanks to Sudal(@SaengFamVn_Su) for the tip earlier on Twitter about photos shared by rmdkdl of Young Saeng playing basketball under ATI Basket team last July 26. If you miss the video I posted the other day as well as two photos you may click HERE.
This fellow who is always wearing jersey #17 whether on field to play baseball or indoor court to play basketball is a certified cutie. Enlarge the following photos to see for yourself.
