[Trans] 110630 U-Know Yunho Says, “I Skated In The Streets Of Europe For Kiss&Cry”

Why was U-Know Yunho clenching his teeth?

In the second pair competition of ‘Kiss&Cry’ that was held at the SBS Ilsan Production Center on June 21st, U-Know Yunho signaled an extravagant revival with a charismatic performance.

Because of his recent concert schedule in Europe, U-Know Yunho has not been able to practice his skating for a period of time. This meant that his partner Claudia had to attend the mid-week assessment alone, causing fans to worry about his future stance in the competition.

The worry was heightened by the fact that U-Know Yunho placed 8th out of ten teams in the first competition due to the mistakes he made while performing.

But U-Know Yunho partook in the second competition and had the ‘Rose Evaluators’ fired up with his extravagant dancing and b-boying skills.

After his performance, U-Know Yunho said, “I’ve never been so worried about a competition as I was for this one. But I rehearsed my part on the ground because I didn’t have access to a skating rink, and I had faith in my partner Claudia.” During his stay in Europe, U-Know Yunho took every minute of spare time he had to put on his skates and rehearse his routine, whether he was in his hotel or on the streets.

His partner Claudia was moved when she heard how hard U-Know Yunho worked to find time to rehearse.

[Trans] 110617 Sohn Ji Chang Deletes His Twitter Account, “I’m Blindly Taking SM’s Side?”

Sohn Ji Chang, who pointed out that a portion of the press is looking at the K-POP craze in Europe in a skewed view, has revealed that he will be deleting his Twitter account.

On the 17th, Sohn Ji Chang wrote a long tweet that read, “I think today was a really long day. I didn’t know that my tweets would make that great of an impact… I was surprised once more when I realized that my opinion could be distorted to such a degree by watching certain fans do nothing but criticize me, saying that I’m blindly taking SM’s side.”

He continued to say, “I realized once more that it’s hard for a person to express his thoughts in words. If my words hurt JYJ fans, I sincerely apologize though that wasn’t my intention. But I know that I’m not the only person who missed the five-member TVXQ as I watched that concert.“

Sohn Ji Chang also explained, “If even that is so wrong of me to think, then I really have nothing else to say. And I believe that those who read my words properly will understand what I meant when I wrote about the French press. I wasn’t saying that they were completely at fault, I was trying to talk about Korea’s press that used parts of the French press’ articles to write tasteless articles.“

He ended with, “I’m planning to delete my Twitter account. Though I was only here for a short amount of time, I won’t forget those who communicated with me and supported me. Thank you for making great memories with me. I pray that you will always be healthy and happy.”

Seeing this, netizens left comments such as, “I didn’t think you’d have to leave because of attacks from stupid fans.. It baffles and disappoints me”, “This must be why the online world is such a scary place. Because some get hurt and decide to kill themselves,” and “I hope your trip to Europe doesn’t become a bad memory for you.”

On the 15th, Sohn Ji Chang pointed out the distorted views on the K-POP wave of certain press mediums when he said, “During my trip to Europe, I went to the SM Town concert in Paris. Most of the people there were foreigners, most probably from Europe, and had memorized and were singing along to the Korean lyrics. The venue was really alive with the energy and passion. So I’m baffled by the skewed articles, such as the one from Le Monde. Why can’t they see the concert for what it truly was?“

SM Entertainment’s singers, including Girls’ Generation, Super Junior, TVXQ, SHINee and f(x), will set ablaze the Hallyu craze in Europe.

The Visit Korea Year Committee has revealed that it will be promoting tourism in Korea to tie in with the ‘SM TOWN LIVE World Tour in Paris’ concerts that are to be held at Le Zenith de Paris this weekend.

The concert that will be performed by SM Entertainment’s singers has been renamed ‘SM TOWN LIVE World Tour in Paris to commemorate 2010-2012 Visit Korea Year (VISIT KOREA YEAR Presents SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR in PARIS)’ and will be held across two days as requested by the European Hallyu fans.

The Visit Korea Year Committee will have a promotional stand at the concert venue to meet and greet the 14,000 fans who will be attending the two shows.

Before the concert starts, the Visit Korea Year Committee will be showing videos that promote future events to be held in Korea such as the Daegu 2011 IAAF World Championships, Jeju’s nomination as one of the New7Wonders, 2011 F1 Korea Grand Prix and the 2012 Yeosu World Expo.

Secretary General Hong Joomin of the Visit Korea Year Committee stated, “We have decided to promote the Visit Korea Year project with the concert in France in order to increase the interest in the Hallyu Wave and increase the rate of tourism in Korea as K-POP is very popular in Europe,” and “We will not limit the Hallyu Wave to Asia and will help spread it to other areas such as Europe and North America.”

The Visit Korea Year Committee recently began a ‘K-pop Cover Dance Contest’ that is catered to Hallyu fans as one of its activities.
