SS501 Kim Hyun Joong Award and Bleach

Leader of famous boy group SS501 (Deu Beul E Seo Oh Gong Il) has gotten the highest award of 'Best Actor' for his role in the worldwide phenomenon drama 'Boys Over Flowers'!!

UNFORTUNATELY- Kim Hyun Joong has been diagnosed with the Swine Flu. May he have a speedy recovery. This on top of Jaebeom's departure from 2PM makes my life sad now.



What does make me happy is Bleach.
Sorry aboutthe creepy picture but I'm in a hurry becaue my parents are mad at me and yelling and this was the only Bleach picture in my pictures that I could find quickly. Anyway, I'm only on episode 58, but it's amazing so far. Byakuya/Ichigo= my OTP

2PM Leader Jaebeom has quit. Are you happy now, Anti-fans?

Before departing, Jay "JaeBeom / Jaebum" Park gave his final interview- beginning with, “What can I possibly say?” He went on to declare how sorry he was to the 2PM members who trusted and followed him, along with his loving fans. He continued on, “I’m sorry that I have to leave like this. I decided to leave 2PM but I wasn’t able to carry out my duties as a leader and have become a burden to the group.”

Many have commented on Jay’s solemn face, stating how this situation has affected him; his face showcases the stress he has been enduring and his voice was also low. He repeated the words, “I’m sorry” a number of times and could not hold his head up.

To ensure the safety of his fans, Park quietly entered a gate different than the one on his ticket, and the fans who later realized this could not hide their disappointment. Many fans even rushed to the 3rd floor restaurant and pushed up against the glass wall to view his final moments in Korea.




He left because about 3 or 4 years ago he talked about his hardships in Korea and how he thought Korea was really difficult sometimes. This insulted people and Jaebeom got a lot of shit from anti fans. Some even had a "Jaebeom should commit suicide" petition, which 3000 people signed. The stress level
Jaebeom said that he could no longer carry out his role as a leader and is returning to the United States.
May God Bless Him. I'll pray for him.
I'm crying for you Jaebeom. I love you. Be happy, be safe.

Jaebeom's message

Hello. This is Jaebeom from 2PM. I’m sorry to give a last farewell with this message. With that very apologetic heart I have, it seems it is hard for me to see everyone on stage again.”

I’m very sorry to everyone. I’m even more sorry to fans who have gave so much love. I will be leaving 2PM from today. I’m so sorry but I have to leave 2PM and you guys because I have been a leader hyung who not only did not give strength but became a burden. I’m once again sorry.”

My heart cries for him. SERIOUSLY. I was in a state of shock before going upstairs in the fetal position and crying for about 2 hours.
Former 2PM leader, Jaebeom...or I guess we should now say Jay Park, has left Korea. The fallen star left Korea on September 8th, 2009 on an afternoon flight at Incheon Airport with over 500 fans literally screaming, crying, and begging for him not to go.
After seeing Jonghun of F.T.Island show his support for JaeBeom, we now have Boom, 2AM's Jo Kwon, and fellow 2PM members showing their support as well.

Boom, who became close to all the members of 2PM especially JaeBeom on the show Idol Army expressed his sadness over JaeBeom's departure from 2PM.

He posted on his cyworld:

"My heart is hurting very much
My heart feels like it’s being torn apart because he is a dongseng that I love
Because I believe and love my dongseng I believe that he will return with a better appearance
Today my heart is hurting very much
Jaebeom, hyung will work harder so that when you return I can protect and hug you with a warmer embrace
Please return healthy………
I love you……………..

This brought tears to my eyes because it was very touching. Knowing they had such a great bond makes the situation more depressing than it already is.

Jo Kwon, who practiced with Jaebeom when they were both trainees expressed his grief on his cyworld:

The first song we practiced together..
We felt nervous and excited..

I always pray.
That it won't be such a hard journey..

I believe you will get stronger
because you're my brother.



Of course you can't forget JaeBeom's fellow members. They wrote on their cyworlds too.

Junsu:

Through the wind, fall came.
Out of nowhere, the fall scent has arrived....
The bright blue sky
It keeps making me cry.
Even the sky is making me cry
in the fall of 2009.

His background music on his cyworld is Bad News by Kanye West.

Chansung:

Let's walk together.

And I think Boom's made me cry the most.
Our poor Jaebeom. I can't express my sadness right now. I feel numb from crying so long and my hands are trembling even as I type this. May Jaebeom be forever remebered.

I LOVE YOU JAEBEOM.

2PM- One year Anniversary!!

I am SOOOO proud of these boys. They are already one year into their singing career and are basically already in the Korean wave. I'm so excited! They plan to release a full album in October.

Allkpop.com news:

We had news earlier that 2PM will be returning in the first week of October, after JYP replied to a fan through Twitter. We have more updates on 2PM's comeback after JYP updated his Twitter with another picture and update.

The new picture sees JYP, with back facing the camera, working hard in the recording studio for 2PM's upcoming album. He wrote, "Back in our manhattan JYP center studio finishing up 2pm's 2nd song. They will release a full length album in Oct. Get ready!"

I seriously look forward to these boys so much.

Jaebeom in old person spandex clothing and ugly person

It's at 3:25. He and Wooyoung had to dress up in costumes and Wooyoung dressed like a Japanese school girl while Jaebeom had to dress in Korean old people spandex sleeping wear. XD I think he looks amazing in it because it outlines his muscles, but I do feel bad for him (spandex).





And isn't this an ugly photoshopped kid? I mean, if you're into this kinda stuff it's okay, just don't leave a comment about it.

Jaebeom: Leader from 2PM~






I realized that I hadn't posted today and almost went berserk. I've been watching 2PM interviews for the past 2 days straight, so take a look at my obsession:








Jaebeom. He has the Godly body of the Korean world, and he's only 23! (April 25th. Blood type A....) I love him so much. I was watching 'Idol Show', which is a SUPER popular Korean show with Boom as the host (He's hilarious.) What I thought was funny was that Boom has a thing for Jaebeom, which I think is funny. During the season finale, Boom approached Jaebeom and tackled him to the floor and started coming on to him. The other 6 members saved him, and Boom DRUNKENLY answered, "I like him a lot."
XD I love him to death and I think he's such a dork. Despite his muscular body and intimidating first appearance (I was intimidated when I first saw him. Like, seriously.), he's really shy and sexy, and also kind of cutely awkward.

Example of shyness: The members said that he had the best body, and when everyone looked at him, he pursed his lips and looked down with a cute little smile. LUFF!
Example of sexiness: His dancing. Once he gets on the dance floor, nothing can stop him. He can do backflips and such because he practices acrobatics a lot. Plus, the SIX PACK! DUH. (And one time he was wearing a shirt that you could see his six pack outline and I was drooling the whole time.)
Example of cutely awkwardness: On a talk show, the lady asked him to introduce himself, and he was like, "Hello. I am Jaebeom of 2PM. Hello." And he smiled a little and opened his eyes wider and looked around for a few seconds. All the members started laughing at him and he looked confused. X"D

I think it's also cute because he's the shortest and leanest member, and anyone can pick him up because he's so light.
XD

Junho and Bi Rain~




On the bottom is Junho from 2PM, and on the right is Bi Rain. Don't they look alike? It surprises me every time I see Junho smile. Any way, I love both of them Junho is such an adorable dork, and Bi Rain is currently in the Korean Wave (Era of popular Korean culture that effects all of Asia.) I love them both.

And here is Bi Rain with a hit song: It's Raining. I think the song actually starts at 1:10.

Junsu, Jaebum, Junho, Nichkyun, Wooyoung, Chansung, and Taecyeon. I might have gotten Wooyoung and Junho mixed up.... TT-TT





This was their song that hit #1 in the charts, and since then, they've only been growing in fame. I think this is the fastest Korean band I've seen get so popular so quick. With their new release of their single "I Hate You," it's already hit #1 on all internet websites and weekly charts. But this was the song that rose them to fame. AND, despite being put up about 3 months ago, it already has 1,800,000 hits on youtube, which is AMAZING. I'm very impressed.
(Just to give you an example on how HUGE that number is, DBSK (literally the most popular band in all of Asia) released a hit song called 'Mirotic', and despite being out for a little over half a year, it only has about 900,000 views. So, YEAH.)

This is their song Again and Again. And don't let the electronic voice sounds fool you into thinking they're bad. Their vocals are amazing, and I've heard them.
