Title: Very Good (Gaegood) Guild

Because in “Beautiful Boys Generation”,
no matter how you see it,
it just doesn’t seem like me
So I named it “Gaegood” guild
The members become more fewer by the day,
and thus, it was only me and Dojeokroa (Thief Ra) who were playing
It’s all because of my virtues~ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Recently, my friend Bear Mithra doesn’t play with me anymore
Bear Mithra’s rap and his seldom-seen expression when he blows his cheeks are really…
so cute you almost want to kill someone^-^*
No matter what they say, Mithra, who is handsome and can make me envious,
is my friend
Everytime I see Bear Mithra, I’d think of his beard (유_유)

No matter what, the greatest Dojeokroa plays with me till the end (-_- )=b
Playing games at home quiety is now more better than going outside to play..
Am I… have I become very useless?? (-┏)

Game>Outside


►Sung Min's Fancafe Message

Ming’s Onsaemiro & ChunHweeRong Fancafe Message 2008.06.08 10:05

To the world’s most lovable angels who made Super Junior shine at the Dream Concert,
Was it good yesterday?
Because I was too tired, I don’t even know what time it ended…
I’m very worried…I hope you didn’t have to spend you night uncomfortably at a sauna room or other places because it was too late and you weren’t able to go home,
Yesterday, I saw our sea of blue
Did you know? Hahaha
From the stage, when I looked up to the top right side…
Middle left, center… even those behind the stage and even those places where I almost couldn’t see (Those places)…
ELF couldn’t even see our performance… That’s really sad…
But those places that I could see, they were all very full… ㅎㅎ

How’s Yoriwang (Cooking? Cooking!)? Do you all like it?
I like it a lot~ Hehe… The dance is very cute~
But because there were female dancers by our side, ELF looked like they were jealous (of them)~
Just for the sake of giving our best performance for Yoriwang, everyone worked hard and had sleepless nights…
All just for this performance to be more brilliant~ ㅎㅎ
So, please don’t be jealous~
Please support us when we perform Yoriwang!
Yoriwang’s first performance… the sound system wasn’t too good… (NB: Because of the sound system and the blasting of the music which caused some lagging, hence their dance steps were a bit messed up)
And we didn’t practice much… Ah… We must practice more now…
With these thoughts~ Even if next time I don’t listen to the music, I’ll be able to catch the beat~ㅠㅠ
From now onwards, I will not allow myself to make mistakes!!!-0-;;
(The broadcast today will surely be very scary… ㅋㅋ)

Ah~ you know SNSD..
You didn’t cheer for them? ^^;; Is our ELF angry?
We’re one!!! Kekeke I wanted to yell that out too~
But yesterday we showed them we are one right?
We are one! ㅋ
Super Junior KRY+T+M+HAPPY = 1

SNSD should understand by now~
They listened to their sunbaes, Super Junior well!
And not others!
Because yesterday they received their punishment?
So now you must support SNSD okay?~
Because we are SMTown!
SNSd is also like our ELF, part of SMTown right?
It’s okay to have small rifts…
But if you prolong it and don’t resolve it… it won’t be good to our family~ㅠㅠ
So from now on you must support them~

It’s also for Super Junior’s sake!
We hope you can support all of the artistes..
Actually, ELF are really kind and they support other artistes as well..
No matter what, you must give us the most support! Hehehe
I’m joking… But we’ll get jealous too so we’ll work even harder to show our best!
So please support the other artistes as well~^^ Ke
Let’s show our best to everyone! And with that, we can stand on stage..^^

I won’t overdo it!
Will I get scolded? ^^
Even though the incident was saddening, all we thought of first was our ELF. We were worried about you.
Aish, the Dream Concert was too touching, I think my expressions are a bit weird. ^^;;
I almost lost my soul yesterday (He was too excited). Aahh
On the red carpet, I was trying to look all handsome and charismatic..
But the moment we go in, we have to perform the Opening act. I was so scared!
Had to control my expressions on stage. Kekee
I only ate rice because I’m on a diet. But the images of pizzas and soft drinks keep appearing in my mind.. Kekeke
What a tiring day..
Because of ELF, we’ the most handsome in the whole universe… (?)

No matter what, our ELF are the best.
I really really love all of you~~!!
I hope that everywhere we go from now, we can experience the cheering like today.. haha
Am I very greedy?

It seems that I’m really selfish. haha
I still have to work hard….
I can only get permission from my parents to get out only with good results
If I don’t send out messages to participate, they’ll get angry again…
Public performances should get more frequent too
Really tired..
Will I be fine after visiting the doctor’s?
I love you ♥ 쪽! (Bo!; kissing sound)♥
It seems I’ve been babbling non-stop since morning. haha

Its been 30 minutes… It’s really very long
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s 10 now, time to wash up and eat.
Ahh!!!! I washed up long ago.
I’m done washing up!!! ㅠㅠ
The moment I woke up I’ve been working hard writing
I don’t care, I’m going to eat now.
Our ELF have to eat well too
Study hard
Hope that you will do something meaningful today
Love you ~!!^^

►MTV Asia Awards 2008 (Korean)

THE MTV ASIA AWARDS, BE HELD IN MALAYSIA

As you guys know, the following groups have been nominated for Favorite Artist - Korea:

1.) Big Bang
2.) So Nyuh Shi Dae
3.) Super Junior
4.) Wonder Girls

Some of you might be wondering “Why isn’t DBSK on that list?!” Well, if you were up to date with those overworked boys you’d know that they spent most of last and this year working their butts off in Japan.

With that being said, these nominees were chosen through a survey among music industry officials and journalists, but the fans, who can vote online, can choose the winner.

What exactly was in those surveys you might ask? Could it be how popular they are? How many awards they’ve won? Well, the second question is plausible since each group has won
their share of awards.

BIG BANG
These boys debuted in August 2006 and since then they have won multiple awards such as “(Cyworld) Rookie of the Month),” “(Cyworld) Song of the Month” (three times!), No. 1 Song Of The Year, 2007 Best Asian newcomer or breakthrough for French people (what? such an award exists?!), Best Male Group, etc etc. They’ve also released 3 singes which tallied up to 101,296 sales altogether! And let’s not forget: their first album sold a nice 110,408 copies. Despite their group activities, the boys also had activities outside of Big Bang: T.O.P ventured into acting, Seung Ri into musicals, Tae Yang just released his solo album, and Dae Sung will soon have a “trot” debut.

GIRLS' GENERATION
Girls’ Generation debuted a year after Big Bang in August 2007. Their awards include a few such as Best New Female Group, Anycall Popularity & Newbie Awards, and “(Cyworld) Song of the Month”. The girls have only released one single “Into the new world” (for some reason the title reminds of a “A Whole New World”…) which sold 31,369 copies and their debut album, “Girls’ Generation” sold 111,093 copies. Despite only releasing one single, these girls were promoted heavily and did activities in other areas such as MCing and acting. Another wonder here would be “Why are they nominated? What about the incident at the Dream Concert?” Well, these groups were chosen based on their musical works (albums and such), not concerts.

SUPER JUNIOR
Super Junior originally debuted in November 2005 as twelve members with the name Super Junior 05, but after the addition of member Kyu Hyun in 2006, they dropped “05″ and were said to be a permanent group. The boys awards’ list include Photogenic Award, Best New Group, Mobile Popularity Award, Newface, Most Popular Music Video, Best New Asian Artist, Best Performance, Appreciation awards and many more (there’s a whole freakin’ page dedicated to their awards!) Since 2005, the boys have released multiple singles as a whole group or as sub groups such as Super Junior-K.R.Y., Super Junior-T, Super Junior-M, and their current sub group, Super Junior (H)appy. Singles from Super Junior as a whole and their sub group Super Junior T equaled to a very nice 137,414 copies sold. That tally does not include Super Junior’s Happy current popular single “Cooking? Cooking!” Their two albums, SuperJunior05 and Don’t Don combined to an amazing figure of 259,579 copies sold.

WONDER GIRLS
These girls debuted in early 2007, but did not reach popularity until later in the year. The Wonder Girls have received awards such as Best New Female Group, Digital Bonsang, Song of the Year, Female Photogenic Award, Best Special Stage, Best New Singer, and more. Their two singles, “The Wonder Begins” and “So Hot” have sold 27,317 copies, with So Hot still in the charts. Their first album “The Wonder Years” sold at least 66,409 copies. Despite not having high numbers like their competitor, Girls’ Generation, Wonder Girls took the industry by storm with their “Tell Me” dance. Many videos of fans doing the “Tell Me” dance circulated on Youtube and Daum. Even celebrities such as Shin Hye Sung, Hong Kyung-min, and Kim Tae Hee would dance to this song at their own fan meetings! Their new song, “So Hot” has created a new addicting “V Line” dance for fans to follow.


►Super Junior M and H, Top In Music... Despite Kim Hee Chul's Condition

Despite Kim Hee Chul's condition ( "Super Junior's Kim Hee Chul in the Hospital" ) making other Super Junior members worry about him so much... Super Junior's two sub-units, M being active in China, and H being active in Korea hit musical charts simultaneously over the past weeks since their debut.

Super Junior M's first album "迷 / Me" has reached the number one spot according to sohu.com and from a daytime online musical chart "TOP IN MUSIC" in Mainland, China from second week of June up to present. Super Junior M's 'U' has been the most requested music video on Channel V and MTV. In addition, Super Junior M members Dong Hae, Han Geng, Henry, Kyu Hyun, Ryeo Wook, Si Won and Zhou Mi are the highest voted stars in China.

With this, it joins in Super Junior Happy on it's mini album "요리왕 / Cooking? Cooking!" where it receives a warm welcome from fans both in Korea and overseas. It also hits the number one spot in Korea's daytime chart along with its hit choreography.

Super Junior's two sub-units are both gaining better results on record sales and feedbacks at the same time. All the members are enjoying their fame as a reward to their hard works.

Super Junior Happy is scheduled to perform today on Mnet Countdown and on June 22 at SBS Inkigayo.
