(Junsu, 10:12am KST, Twitter) Let’s go on a trip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~hehehehehe pic.twitter.com/ntARhyjxP4
(Junsu, 10:36am KST, Twitter) They keep adding syrup (even if I don’t want any) whenever I order an Americano..ㅜ pic.twitter.com/BMfGTUGB2Y
(Junsu, 10:58am KST, Twitter) The older I get.. the more I hate sweet things. I can enjoy one or two pieces of chocolate.. Cream puffs, sweet chips, sweet candy, sweet coffee etc.. If it’s sweet, it isn’t tasty.. I ordered something called a ‘Red Rise’ just now.. and it tastes like coconut and chocolate, the kind of thing you shouldn’t expect a meal to taste like.. I can’t take this
(Junsu, 11:09am KST, Twitter) At this moment, I’m already.. craving spicy sausage stew, kimchi stew and bean paste stew. But luckily.. what’s getting me through this is that our wonderful Hansol, packed my biggest bag full of things like Jonggatjib (T/N: It’s the most popular kimchi brand in Korea) kimchi, ramen and Haetban (T/N: The most popular brand of precooked instant rice). He says that when he put the suitcase on the counter and asked the people at the supermarket to pack all the food in there, they asked him.. are you immigrating? lol
(Junsu, 11:21am KST, Twitter) I used to drink coffee mixes.. but once you get used to the taste of Americano.. you start hating it when they add other things into your coffee. Coffee is meant to be enjoyed with the original scent of the coffee beans. People tell me that I shouldn’t drink too much coffee but.. these scientists in England, I think? They said that a person who drinks more than three cups of coffee a day
(Junsu, 11:24am KST, Twitter) actually live longer on average.. than people who don’t.. They say that the reason there’s so much talk about whether coffee is good or bad for you is because there are over 1,000 components in coffee.. Of course, some of them are good for you and some of them are not.. but if drinking coffee means I get to live longer.. wouldn’t you say that’s a good thing..? haha
(Junsu, 11:25am KST, Twitter) I can proudly say that.. I don’t touch nicotine, tar or alcohol.. but I will stick with caffeine.. haha
(Junsu, 07:29pm KST, Twitter) I have received the pictures of children affected by the Japan Tohoku Earthquake who received Christmas presents through “Habitat Santa”, organised by Jedusbody and Mari Christie, Goodwill Ambassador for UN Habitat. Seeing everyone happy makes me happy as well. I will continue to donate.
(Junsu, 11:12pm KST, Twitter) The brushing touch~~ of a cool breeze. pic.twitter.com/mvbluVDA0C

The line performance of TVXQ’s newest song ‘Something’ has become a hit.
‘Something’, the title track of TVXQ’s new album ‘TENSE’, is a swing jazz piece. The combination of the lively music and TVXQ’s dynamic performance makes each performance look like a scene from a musical, earning much love from TVXQ’s fans.
What’s drawing the attention of many is TVXQ’s ‘line performance’, a dance that has never been done before in Korea, which utilizes microphones and thick cords of rope to imitate string plucking, a boxing ring, standing microphones and a marionette doll. It has been said that TVXQ have put in a lot of hard work and effort into their rehearsals to make sure that they could pull off such difficult choreography.
The sophisticated yet energetic choreography, which includes a rhythmic and stealthy tiptoe dance and powerful solo dance breaks, as well as TVXQ’s coordination with their backup dancers makes the dance a sight to behold. Many have praised TVXQ’s comeback performance for being a solid and unique performance, that goes beyond normal choreography and focus on the three-dimensional aspects of dance.
The choreography of ‘Something’ was created by world-renowned choreography Tony Testa, and was completed with the help of SM’s performance director Hwang Sang Hoon. Tony Testa has already worked with TVXQ before on their last song ‘Catch Me’, and his work has been praised for emphasizing TVXQ’s best assets as performers.
Meanwhile, TVXQ will be continuing their promotional activities on Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown’ on the 9th, KBS’ ‘Music Bank’ on the 10th, MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’ on the 11th and SBS’ ‘Inkigayo’ on the 12th.

JYJ (Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu) have teamed up with famous photographers to release the third edition of their ‘THE JYJ’ magazine.
C-JeS Entertainment stated, “In February, the third edition of ‘THE JYJ’ will be released in Korea and Japan simultaneously,” and “Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu have each teamed up with a famous photographer to create a special collaboration project for their upcoming album.”
They continued to state, “We’ve decided to release a magazine for each member in order to capture each member’s solo activities of movies, concerts and tours. The members teamed up with photographers Cho Sun Hee, Mok Najung and Kim Young Joon, and shared many stories with them to capture their natural selves in the photos.”
JYJ said, “We took our time to converse with our photographers to prepare for our photoshoots, so we were able to let ourselves go during the process. This is the first time that we’ve enjoyed taking photos like this. It felt like we were creating physical proof of our twenties that we could look back on later. Some of the pictures surprised us because they showed sides of us we’d never seen before.”
The upcoming edition will feature special photo spread locations. Kim Jaejoong’s photographer followed him on the Japanese leg of his tour, while Park Yoochun’s photographer followed him around Busan while he filmed ‘Sea Fog’. Kim Junsu took many of his photos during his musical ‘December’.”
‘THE JYJ’ has garnered great popularity with its first two editions, the first edition containing 25 hours’ worth of interviews and the second edition holding the theme of friendship. The third edition will be released in Korea and Japan, and is available at the C-JeS online store.

‘Three Days’ production company stated, “We won’t go so heavily just because of the criminal investigative genre. Like the famous American show [“24”], the drama will also have love and other complex emotions and it will draw the viewers’ empathy. ‘Three Days’ will be a complex criminal investigation drama that combines multiple stories.”
Although the presidential assassination is used as material, the content is much more than that. Besides action and suspense, there is also a strong love story. The drama will have the story of the president’s bodyguard Han Tae Kyung (Park Yuchun) being framed and searching for the president, a policewoman Yoon Bo Won (Park Ha Sun) who helps him, and agent Lee Cha Young (So E Hyun) who is his peer.
Last year, through dramas ‘I Can Hear Your Voice’ and ‘Master’s Sun’ and more, opened the successful period for complex dramas. SBS drama director Kim Young Seob said, “The drama must have the element for people of all ages to enjoy. It is not supposed to be inclined toward either one way or the other. ‘Three Days’ adds dramatic elements through deep melo[dramatics] and increase the depth of the relationships between each characters” and “It’s a common criminal investigative genre but will be a very particular criminal investigative genre”.
Following after ‘You Who Came From the Stars’, ‘Three Days’ will first broadcast on February 26.

JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong is set to release a repackaged version of his first solo album.
C-JES Entertainment said, “Kim Jae Joong will be releasing his repackaged album on January 20th, after making a successful transformation as a rock singer through his first solo album. His repackaged album will include a new song as well as a remake of the Japanese song ‘Makeup’ which earned much popularity when he performed it during his Asia tour.”
The repackaged album theme is set as ‘make-up removal’ as C-JES revealed, “The two new songs are meant to convey the painful feelings that one has when he/she wants to forget their loved one. We got the inspiration from ‘Makeup’ and decided to name it as ‘make-up removal’. From the songs, fans can listen to the various styles of conflicting emotions that Jae Joong’s voice will bring out.”
The album will also include unreleased footage from the music video of ‘Just Another Girl’ as well as footage of the music video production shoots
C-JES said, “Jae Joong has already completed the recording of the new songs for the album. The new songs are pop ballads that’s really suitable for the winter season, and the lyrics were penned by Jae Joong himself. ‘Makeup’ is a remake of a Japanese song of the same name, with Jae Joong writing the new lyrics. Jae Joong’s sensual vocals and manner of singing it, will definitely be a surprise to fans when they listen to it.”
Jae Joong has thus far enjoyed much success in his solo activities, and he was 4th in the ‘2013 Singer Award’ chart that was tabulated by Hanteo, and the only soloist that made it to the top 5.
Jae Joong released his first mini album ‘I’ in January 2013, before following up in October with the release of his 1st full-length album ‘WWW: Who, When, Why’. The album soon shot up music charts in Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, as well as Japan’s Tower Record. It was also ranked 4th on Japan’s Oricon Weekly chart as well as becoming the most popular K-POP song on China’s CCTV3 for three consecutive weeks. The album also topped Hanteo real-time, daily, and week charts, and was first on a Synnara Record poll as the most likely to win at the year-end music festivals.
Meanwhile, Jae Joong will continue with his nation-wide tour in Gwangju on January 11th.

I can understand the disbelief and sorrow of sudden death. Death struck my family in December of 2013. It is a shock to the mind, body, and spirit. It is because of this fact that Leeteuk’s family needs a display of understanding and sensitivity to this tragedy from the fandom and from the media. This is not a time to speculate, or obtain a scoop, but to give support. It does not matter whether Super Junior is a favorite group or even that Leeteuk be a favorite person. Death is not a respecter of persons. We all travel this road.
Only GOD knows what truly happened here, and He is the only qualified judge.Out of respect for Leeteuk’s family, JYJ (CY)Fantalk will not be posting for a 24 hour period. We will resume posting on Thursday, January 9th. May they rest in peace. Momma Cha
Leeteuk (right) stands behind fellow Super Junior member Ryeowook as he answers a question during a news conference before their concert ‘Super Show 4’ in Seoul, South Korea, on Nov 20, 2011. Tragedy hit Leeteuk as three of his closest family members were found dead at home. – Reuters
Suicide is believed to be the cause of deaths.
THE year got off to a tragic start for the family of K-pop group Super Junior leader Leeteuk. His father and grandparents were apparently found dead at home in Seoul this morning.
In what was earlier reported to be a car accident that killed the three, their deaths were later linked to suicide.
According to the allkpop website, police and fire department officials indicated that a note was found at the house where the bodies were discovered. The note is said to have been written by Leeteuk’s father, Park Yong-in.
Allkpop today quoted one of the officials as saying: “At 9.26, we were dispatched to one apartment in the jurisdiction of Dongjak (a district in Seoul). When we arrived at the scene, all three had already passed away.”
The official revealed that the grandparents were found on the bed while Park was found hanged, says allkpop.
Their deaths are strongly believed to be linked to suicide.
Police are looking into medical records to confirm that Park was suffering from depression. Allkpop says Leeteuk’s father had been caring for his Alzheimer’s-stricken parents, Park Hyun Suk and Chun Kyung Tae.
Leeteuk, 30, whose real name is Park Jeong-su, has been on mandatory military service since October 2012. The singer-songwriter-actor immediately took leave to return to the family upon receiving the devastating news.
He and his sister Park In Young, as well as other family members and friends, are now gathered at the wake at the Korea University Medical Center (Guro Hospital) funeral parlour.
Singapore’s The Straits Times says that fellow Super Junior member Ryeowook was hosting his regular radio programme when the news broke and stayed on to finish the show even though he was clearly grieved by the news. The programme, Super Junior’s Kiss The Radio, is aired live and has live video feeds as well. The cameras were turned away from Ryeowook during the show.
Shindong, another member of the group, also has a regular radio show, ShimShimTapa. The production team for the programme left a message on their official Twitter today saying: “Today, Shindong’s ShimShimTapa will be broadcast under special DJs VIXX’s N and Baek Ah Yeon. There will be no viewable radio.”
It says that friends and fellow singers also sent messages of condolences through social media. 2AM’s Jo Kwon tweeted: “Please stay strong Leeteuk hyung (elder brother). May the deceased rest in peace.”
2PM’s Chansung simply wrote: “Stay strong Leeteuk hyung.”
Doojoon of B2ST wrote: “The hyung who is always smiling, who greets us with a smile even today without fail. That makes my heart hurt more. With respect, I hope the deceased rest in peace.”
UKiss’s Soohyun tweted: “Your heart must be in so much pain. With respect, I hope the deceased rest in peace. Have strength, Leeteuk hyung.”
Super Junior’s management agency, SM Entertainment, has appealed to the public to allow the family to grieve in peace.

2014 is upon us. Sports Hankook has created a list of stars who will shine in the entertainment industry this year, the year of the wooden horse. They may be rookies or veterans. We have given them the name of ‘New Risers’, stars who will rise to success in the New Year of 2014.
#Park Yoochun is set to captivate the movie industry and the drama industry at the same time
[SWOT Keyword]
S(trength) – Solid acting, success in previous productions, trustworthy seniors
W(eakness) – Stamina, schedule
O(pportunity) – Two-pronged approach, ‘You, Who Came From The Stars’
T(hreat) – Joo Sang Wook, Lee Min Jung, Kim Hyun Joong
Kicking off with Micky Yoochun. But these days, people are more familiar with the name ‘Park Yoochun’. The title of ‘actor’ sounds less awkward on him than the title of ‘member of JYJ’.
He was a leading role from the start. Making his debut with ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ in 2010, he has appeared on ‘Miss Ripley’, ‘Rooftop Prince’ and ‘I Miss You’. He has encountered a variety of genres, like comedy, history and thrillers. He never suffered from any ‘acting controversies’, something that has followed every idol who has transformed into an actor. It would not be wrong to say that Park Yoochun is the most successful idol-turned-actor in the industry.
His solid acting and the success of his previous productions has landed him a major role. He has been chosen as the leading role of SBS’ new Wednesday-Thursday miniseries ‘Three Days’, which is kicking off with a 10 billion Won investment. As the creation of screenwriter Kim Eun Hui, who has worked with successful actors like Park Shin Yang and So Ji Seob in ‘Sign’ and ‘Ghost’, the drama is a great choice for Park Yoochun.
‘Three Days’ is already set to become a success. Though there are still two months left till the drama begins airing, Kim Eun Hui has already written more than half of the entire script. The drama is set to be of a high quality as she won’t be scrambling to finish off her script. ‘You, Who Came From The Stars’, the preceding drama of ‘Three Days’, already has a viewership of 25%. If they current trend continues, ‘Three Days’ has a high possibility of beginning with a 30% viewership.
2014 is set to be a great year for Park Yoochun as an actor because he will also be making his big-screen debut through Director Bong Joon Ho’s movie ‘Sea Fog’. If Park Yoochun is able to succeed in his two-pronged approach, he will solidify an unparalleled position in both industries.
A representative of the entertainment industry stated, “Kim Soo Hyun and Song Joong Ki have both made their mark as top stars by appearing in both movies and dramas. Park Yoochun is still considered more of a ‘star’ than an ‘actor’, but if ‘Three Days’ and ‘Sea Fog’ succeed, he will establish himself as the most influential Hallyu star and actor of the industry.”
The weight on Park Yoochun’s shoulders is slightly lighter because of the experienced veterans at his side. In ‘Sea Fog’, he will be working alongside stars like Kim Yoon Seok, Moon Sung Geun and Kim Sang Ho. In ‘Three Days’, he will be working with Sohn Hyun Joo, Yoon Jae Moon, Jang Hyun Sung, Choi Won Young, Park Ha Sun and So Yi Hyun.
The representative also added, “In both movies and dramas, the ensemble is extremely important. This is a great opportunity for Park Yoochun as he will be working with the most well-known and talented actors of the industry.”
However, there are rising powers Park Yoochun must be wary of. ‘Three Days’ will be going head to head with KBS 2TV’s ‘Emotional Generation’, which will feature Kim Hyun Joong, and MBC’s ‘Cute Returning Single’, which will feature Joo Sang Wook and Lee Min Jung. Analyzing the cast, the power of the screenwriters and the statistics of the previous Wednesday-Thursday dramas, ‘Three Days’ has the upper hand. However, this does not mean they can be relaxed about it. The tables can turn at any moment, and Park Yoochun must be on high alert.
It is imperative that Park Yoochun takes care of his stamina and schedule in order to succeed this year. He must begin filming for ‘Three Days’ as soon as he finishes filming for ‘Sea Fog’. He must make sure his schedule is well-balanced in order for him to be in the best condition possible. Both productions have many outside filming sessions, which means that it is important for Park Yoochun to take care of his health.
