MC: The last character! Dance, Acting, Music, Sexy, Coquette!!! (repeats coquette..rofl) The solo album that was charming in all areas…I believe Yucheon monitored it too, how was it?
Yucheon: When Junsu’s MV was released, I had finished filming (for drama) and was going to go wash in the dorm. We were in the countryside so the LTE wasn’t working when I wanted to watch it. I had 1 hour to sleep but I used that time to watch Junsu’s MV.
Translation 2:
Junsu: It’s an obvious thing to say, but really, thank you all. This is something I’ve always thought of, I don’t know if it’s because of my favoritism towards our fans, but I truly think JYJ fans are really nice/kind ppl. By “nice” ppl, I mean that you know how to wait and endure, and I think that’s something we (JYJ) learned from you guys. That became a source of our energy. No need for other words, I just thank you.
Translation 3:
Jaejoong: It’s the same for me too. Everybody knows that Junsu sings well, but I realized that he can also dominate the world with his dance.
[Su embarrased again~Kawaii~ >_
MC: (gives another tissue. haha) The whole world…
Jaejoong: He was called Asia’s best vocalist in the past, but he can also be called Asia’s best dancer..
Yucheon: Asia is too small for Junsu.
Junsu: Hold on… I appreciate this very much but I’m gonna be in trouble~ (or, this is dangerous)
Translation 4:
MC: Solo album, character.. I heard you prepared a lot.
Junsu: Um…..Good. (lol what?) First of all, I’ve talked about these (gestures to screen) a lot before so I don’t think I need to again. Above all else, I think it’s the happiest moment when you are recognized by your own members. I was very strengthened. Thank you.
MC: (talks about how he looks forward to their next/future characters) So now everyone, don’t you want to see more of JYJ’s charms in detail?
Fans: YEEEEESSSSSS!
Translation 5 (last):
MC: They will present to you their fatal charms.. first up, JYJ’s maknae Junsu prepared a special stage. You got a lot of compliments from the hyungs (JJ & YC) earlier so (can’t hear). Please go get ready. I’ll also meet you all later with the new script and until then, we’ll leave it to Jaejoong!
(well…that’s the gist of the conversation… mostly paraphrased)

[VIDEO+TRANS] Channel V “Just Love JK” – JYJ Junsu Asia Tour in Taiwan
Hi everyone, thank you for watching tonight’s episode of Just Love JK.
8 years after JYJ member Junsu debuted, this is the first time he came to Taiwan for solo activities.
Just Love JK, will show many exciting footages to everyone
At the beginning of this program, we will have a look at Kim Junsu who has recently came to Taiwan
Junsu!
What we see right now is Junsu’s solo album
What do you have in your hand?
In my hand is the cover of his CD
It looks like it has a lacy feel to it
Right, it looks very pretty
Also look at the picture he took this time, it’s different from the Junsu we know in the past
Did you know, this album’s sales is super good
In Korea, his entire sales volume already surpassed 120,000.
Also I hear it happened in a very short time period right?
Right! Also he was ranked 10th on Billboard’s worldwide rankings.
This time with the release of his album, also coming to Taiwan to hold a concert
To all JYJ fans, this is a very happy thing.
Also his concert tickets were sold out within short 30 minutes
3500 tickets all sold out
That’s right that’s right.
What makes everyone very surprised is also 80% of this album was composed by Kim Junsu himself.
Also, I remember last time Jaejoong also came to Taiwan. Right?
When Jaejoong came to Taiwan, a lot of fans asked him to sing
What song? Sing the song he wrote for Junsu
Inside includes this song
Also this time, we see… Do you know Junsu has a twin?
His twin brother, also helped him write lyrics for songs in this album
I think this is great, it is older brother writing songs for younger brother
Right, I always had a dream that I have a twin brother. Don’t you wish for that?
Twins not so much, but I always dreamed of having a younger brother. Because I have a younger sister and an older brother, so I want a younger brother. Because I can ask him to do anything for me. haha~
Isn’t your younger brother always by your side?
Right, but he feels like an assistant
So everyone, we will see the footages of Junsu in Taiwan, as well as his concert, and our special report for everyone for Junsu’s visit this time to Taiwan.
Junsu came to Taiwan on the 22nd, he debuted 8 years ago, this is the first time for him to release a solo album and start his concert tour.
Junsu: Hi everyone, I am XIAH, long time no see (A/N: He said this in Chinese!!! *squeals*)
Junsu revealed at the press conference that he really missed the pearl tea from Taiwan
Junsu was really corporative, he would eat all the food the MC introduced without questioning it.
*press conference footage of Junsu eating*
After eating all the good food, of course he has to drink the pearl tea that he couldn’t forget
*press conference footage of Junsu explaining his filming of Tarantallegra MV, his kiss in Elisabeth, and him as a pretty girl for the MV*
This time Junsu visited Taiwan during the Duanwu Festival, and the organizers prepared some Zongzi for him.
His visit this time to Taiwan, he got to eat, drink, and received gifts.
On the day of the concert
It couldn’t be without fan support activities for the idol
Let’s take a look at how this group of fans supports Kim Junsu
Fan: This time we made our own fans, towels. For Junsu’s concert this time, we especially made a Q version of Junsu. To provide support for his concert this time. We also have activities inside. Also everyone took a picture with a live size poster of Junsu, and we collected all the pictures, and we will bring it to Korea and give it to Junsu’s parents, who will then give to Junsu. We limited this to 500 pictures.
We also worked with other fanclubs to send roses. As well as XIAH NO. 1
To provide support for Junsu, there were fans that day that stamped XIAH on their body
Because of his mom and Junsu’s nickname as “peach”, this time fans prepared these peach packages for him. They hope Junsu could be very healthy
What was really touchy was on the day, there was a fan that suffered a car accident that came to the concert disregarding her foot injury, she had to go to the concert to provide her support for Junsu.
Fan: I originally wanted to save money to go to Korea to watch his musical, because I believe Junsu shines in the musical. As his fan, I have to go support him! But, because of the car accident, I wasn’t able to go.
Reporter: So this time even if your foot is injured, you still have to come watch his concert?
Fan: Because he rarely comes to Taiwan, and it’s his first solo concert. So no matter what I told my mom “I’ll crawl there if I have to!” I have to come see him. Luckily my parents were very supportive. And other fans also helped me. So I successfully came to the venue.
Hope Junsu’s concert today will bring her strength for her to recover her foot injury. Hope this fan will get well soon.
Junsu’s fans abroad is a huge number too. On this days, fans from which countries came? Japan, Korea, Shanghai (mainland China)
*fan explains about the banner*
Junsu, you are really charismatic. The concert is about to start, let’s give him a couple words of support.
Fan: Junsu, I believe in all of your choices, you just have to do well in the things you want to do, you will do it to the best. I will always believe in you, and always support you, always love you, Junsu Fighting!
*Fans (and fanboy) show support for Junsu – Junsu fighting!*
Yay! Junsu’s concert started.
*footage of the concert*
Then it is the song his good friend Kim Jaejoong wrote for you “No Gain”
*Junsu singing No Gain*
On the day of the concert, he worked hard in performing, when he was greeting the fans, he almost couldn’t catch his breathe.
Junsu: Hi everyone, I am Xia, long time no see. I really miss you all (A/N: all in chinese! I’m impressed )
That day, Junsu’s parents also came to the concert, to support their son. What does everyone think of Junsu’s performance this time?
*fans saying Junsu’s the best*
Fan: Junsu, I’ll wait for you to come again next time~
[I will always enjoy the characters of Sheriff Andy Taylor, et al. Even though it was fictional, so much of the father in Andy Griffith was shown and it has influenced two generations…]
Andy Griffith dead at 86, friend says…
July 3, 2012, 10:46 AM EST
By Tim Molloy
TheWrap
Television icon Andy Griffith has died at 86, a friend told a North Carolina news station.
Former University of North Carolina president Bill Friday told WITN News that the “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Matlock” actor died at his home in Dare County, N.C.
Bing: More on Andy Griffith
The Dare County Sheriff’s office would only confirm to TheWrap that emergency services were sent to Griffith’s home Tuesday morning.
The actor’s agent did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
With his slow drawl and penchant for playing characters who wore their decency like a badge in shows like “The Andy Griffith Show,” the actor came to personify small town values with their emphasis on family and community. He was, in many ways, America’s sheriff.
He first came to prominence on Broadway in the 1950s in the army comedy “No Time for Sergeants” and the musical version of “Destry Rides Again.”
He would reprise his country bumpkin role in “Sergeants” for the 1958 film version, earning rave reviews and propelling the film to the top of that year’s box office winners.
But his film debut in 1957’s “A Face in the Crowd” mined a darker side of Griffith, one that he largely abandoned in favor of more populist slices of entertainment. Working with legendary director Elia Kazan, Griffith gave his finest dramatic performance as Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes, a drifter who is discovered by an ambitious producer and transformed into a national television phenomenon. With his folksy bromides, Rhodes seemed to presage such modern boob tube bloviators as Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann and the film itself was a sly commentary on the power of television that was way ahead of its time.
Remembering Andy Griffith: Share your thoughts on Facebook
Yet it was television that would launch Griffith into the pop culture pantheon. Playing Sheriff Andy Taylor, a widower trying to raise a young son, on the long-running “The Andy Griffith Show,” the actor found the perfect vehicle for his easy-going delivery and comic talents.
Mayberry, the fictional North Carolina town where Taylor represented law and order, was populated by village eccentrics like hapless deputy Barney Fife (Don Knotts) and naive gas station attendant Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors). Griffith provided the show’s center of gravity; his gift was to be a proxy for the audience and to respond to the antics around him instead of providing the spark to the lunacy.
Ron Howard, who played Griffith’s son on the program before starring in “Happy Days” and becoming an Oscar winning director, paid tribute to his television dad on Tuesday.
“His pursuit of excellence and the joy he took in creating served generations & shaped my life. I’m forever grateful RIP Andy,” Howard wrote.
The show they starred in together ran for eight seasons and nearly 250 episodes before wrapping up in 1968. Although it remains his most iconic role, Griffith’s generosity as an actor may have worked against him when it came to awards — he was, amazingly, never nominated for an Emmy for his work as Taylor.
But popular culture had moved very far away from the bucolic Mayberry, and throughout the 1970’s and early 80’s, Griffith struggled to establish another show as successful as “The Andy Griffith Show.” Among his failed efforts were “Headmaster” (1970), “The New Andy Griffith Show” (1971) and “The Yeagers” (1980).
As he neared his sixth decade, he finally found the right vehicle in “Matlock,” a legal drama that ran on NBC and ABC from 1986 to 1995. Griffith portrayed a folksy criminal defense lawyer with a penchant for courtroom dramatics and a love of hot dogs. The accent was the same as Taylor’s, but unlike the small-town sheriff, Matlock was a brilliant attorney with a worldliness and wiliness that allowed him to translate to modern viewers.
In addition to his acting career, Griffith was a successful recording artist. He recorded several hit albums of Christian hymns for Sparrow Records and earned a Grammy Award for his work. Perhaps his most famous recording is “The Fishin’ Hole,” the jaunty theme song to “The Andy Griffith Show.”
Hurrah and Hurrah!!! Kim Kyung Takand Hong Young Rae are finally alonetogether!!
Why is this important? Mainly because even though Kim Kyung Tak has been in love with Hong Young Rae for years–she has yet to make an effort to understand her man. Yes, her man! I believe that they are going to be given a chance to get to know one another a little better. Maybe not by much–but enough to help Young Rae to see beyond his military air into his heart which is breaking… His friendship with Hong Young Hwi is close and enduring beyond political boundaries. I say this because I truly do not believe that Hong Young Hwi is dead. Yes, he was shot, and we watched him fall. Yet there was no noticeable splash into the river, and it was the typical peek over the ledge see no body that was used in Episode One. O.K. O.K. I’ll lighten up.
Dr. Jin needs to get back to his 2012 lady love and no one knows it better than himself. So…he is trying to right the course of history and in that original course I personally do not believe that Hong Young Hwi dies in this way.
Anyway, back to the two estranged lovers. Somehow I believe that Hong Young Rae can soften the “Le Miserables” type character of Kim Kyung Tak. [This is my literary reference–I am occidental]. After all, he is so smitten that he will probably listen just to be with her. On his side, this gives him opportunity to talk about those things important to him. They both are grieving the ‘death’ of Hong Young Hwi. if the writers will allow them some time now or in the near future–I believe that they may be able to pull it together.
Our own Kim Jaejoong is doing a marvelous acting job as Kim Kyung Tak, and all of the cast is exemplary. My only protest–stop kicking Jaejoong!!! 😮

Lyrics: Saying I Love you is not the words I want to hear from you It’s not that I want you not to say But if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel More than words is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldn’t have to say That you love me cause I’d already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say if I took those words away Then you couldn’t make things new Just by saying I love you
la la la la la la la More than words la la la la la ooooooooohhhhh
Now that I’ve tried to talk to you And make you understand all you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hands And touch me hold me close Don’t ever let me go More than words is all I ever needed you to show Then you wouldn’t have to say That you love me ’cause I’d already know
la la la la la la la More than words la la la la la More than words la la la la la la More than words la la la la la la la More than words

In a tense moment, Kim Kyung Tak sliced the mask off and exposed the face of the ringleader – Hong Yong Hwi who happened to be Yong Rae’s brother and his close friend. The shocked Kyung Tak could not bear to shoot Yong Rae who was running away, so he shot it towards the sky and wailed.

Netizens responded, “Make Time Slip Kim Kyung Tak, summon Kyung Tak to 2012”, “Even taking away the only thing that is left for him. This character is ridiculous”, “I would rather put Kyung Tak and Choon Hong as a couple. Poor Kyung Tak”.
Kim Jaejoong said, “Due to filming, I’ve yet to watch the scene that I have with Yong Hwi. This is the saddest scene so far. Let’s see if Kyung Tak has lost his reason to live or not. I hope you will watch it with love.”
